dance, these Indians are preparing to bushwhack the

Yes, folks, the hottest part of summer Is still ahead! The mercury will likely
hover around those blistering 100’s for many weeks to come. But you needn’t
be uncomfortable about it. Brow-mopping is definitely old-fashioned these
days... for there’s an ea:y and inexpens' ve way to take a vacation from
the heat. Just go to your nearest electrical appliance dealer ... look over
Drive a Ford and you’ll feel the difference right away.
Jou’ll like the "feel” of that "Mid Ship” Ride ... the
"feel” of those bump-erasing "Hydra-Coil” and "Para-
Flex” Springs... the 35% easier acting "Magic Action”
brakes .. . the easy "Finger-Tip” Steering. Come in for
a ride and you’ll order your Ford now.
'HIE REAL INDIAN—Mose Poolaw, full-blooded Kio-
wa from Walters, Okla., and descendant of Chief Satan-
ta, rode at the head of the parade. Poolaw served as
interpreter at the pageant. Others are Mayor A. F.
Little, Mr. and Mrs. V. R. Akin.
