RAG. USED CARS NOW
OFFERED BY GAITHER
1 The recent announcement of the new
K St Q. used car sales plan by the
Ford dealers of tin* Houston Branch of
Ford Motor Company- mark.' one of
the greatest steps forwards ever made
by a dealer organization In setting a
new and higher standard in used car
values, according to W E Gaither.
Ford dealer
The trade-mark R Si G. stands for
renewed and guaranteed—meaning that
used cars sold by authorized Ford deal-
ers under this trade-mark have met a
rigid set of specifications as to their
mechanical condition «u> «eli u* ap-
pearance. Backing these specifications
and for further assurance otf the qual-
ity of R <fe G. cars is a written guar-
antee of Satisfaction or Your Money
Back.” which is given to the buyer by
the dealer.
In effect this written guarantee co-
vers virtually every mechanical unit
on the car. as well as the body, up-
holstering. hardware, paint, top. etc.
Among the more Important mechani-
cal units covered are; brakes, chassis,
clutch, electrical system, engine! in-
cluding bearings, carburetor, compres-
sion. ignition points.) radiator, rear
axle, springs, steering and transmission.
Under this new R.&G. plan the buy-
er is permitted to drive the car he se-
lects for two days—allowing him to
out in any good undertaking, and gives ' put it through “its paces" on any test
otf his time freely to those having bus- | that he desires. If the car falls to
iness in the court house and to worthy measure-up to expectations in any way,
projects of public interest. His records he mav return it to the dealer who will
are always in shape—a model otf neat-
ness. an-ci his transcripts are the pride
of the district court.
Due to the fact that Mr. Wolf has |
no deputy, and that district court is
Ln session practically the year 'round,
it will be impossible for him to meet
all the voters personally and ask for
their support during the campaign, but
he earnestly asks the voters to give him
the sam» considprsrior if v'" had
tramped the highways and byways and
met them in their homes and fields.
"I will try to see as many as possi-
ble," Wolf stated Monday, “-but the du-
ties of my office are important and
must come first. I believe my past rec-
ord will bear me out in the statement
that I know this work, know how to
do it right, and in the past have done
just that—never neglecting any duty
fer persona, pleasure, advancement or
profit. If again elected I pledge the
same kind of satisfactory service, and
I cordially seek your support at the
polls.”

Notes from the Agent
“I found out what to do about the
cut worm cutting down my tomatoes.”
said Ruth Jennings, member of the
Sharp 4-H club, at a recent meeting
‘‘Just wrap a piece of brown paper
around the stem* of the tomato plant
before planting Then after set on*
water the plant to settle the dirt firm-
ly around the plant.” Ruth states. In
spite of dry weather, hot winds and
cut worms. Ruth has approximately 150
tomato plants growing.
“The grape cuttings which I turned
down in a hole and covered with soil
in January have rooted 100 per cent,”
reports Theresa Anderle, Ad Hall 4-H
Club member. A bundle of 13 grape
cuttings was inverted in a past hole
and covered with sand in January. In
jApril this package dug up to find
that each of the cuttings had from 4
to 6 inch roots qnd were ready to be
planted in the orchard. Theresa sayr
the rooting of cuttings by this method
gives the root system two months
growth before the leaves put out. which
will enable the grape to survive the
mid-summer drought in a better fa-
shion.
“A convenient Clothes closet may be
made from the veneer from a refriger-
ator crate,” says Mrs. H. L. Colbert,
wardrobe demonstrator for the Bryant
Station H. D. Club. These crates or
other similar crates may be purchased
from local merchants for an approxi-
mate cost of fifty cents. This material
may be used for making linen closets
or other built-in storage needs. Mrs.
Colbert reports having used this ma-
terial for making a cabinet for cook-
ing utensils and kitchen linens which
resulted ln a most economical means
of home improvement:
