FEBRUARY 4 & 5
If you want to learn more about your tractor, how to cure and prevent its troubles, come to our Free Tractor Service School Feb. 4 and 5.
This School will be in charge of a trained instructor*furnished us by the Avery Company. The following topics will be thoroughly ex-
plained and demonstrated: Valve grinding, scraping of bearings, magneto construction and repairing, carburetor adjusting, etc.
It makes no difference whether or no you are an Avery Tractor owner, or some other tractor, or just interested in Motor Farming
Machinery, you are cordially invited to attendthis Course of instruction. It will mean a shaving of time, trouble, crops and money, if you
are enabled to do your own service work hereafter, instead of hiring and waiting for special service men.
I he men who attended the free Avery Service Schools last-year are the men who are making the biggest success in tractor farming.
^ Don't forget to come or send your boy.

however, if it is necessary we shall
have to do it. It would not be busi-

some and let others go without paying

you will not get many more copies
of this paper unless you bring in your
check or cash for renewal.

popular County Superintendent of
Public Instruction, now seeks a con-
tinuance in this office by asking your

Mr. Powell has been a faithful and
energetic worker lor the public schools
of Bosque County during his time of

ive fn his work with the smaller coun-

STATE CAPITAL NEWS
Austin, Jan. 10.—The schools of
Texas may be up against a hara pro-
position in the matter of text-books.
The attorney general has told Miss
Blanton, superintendent of public in-
struction, that she may not aecept
contracts for text-books at a price
higher than that which is received for
the same books from any other state,
county or school district in the United
States.
The opinion further makes the state-
ment that probably the publishers are
even now filling contracts made in
other years at prices Which they could
not afford to bid in Texas under pre-
vailing conditions. But the Legists.
