toys may be made. A group of
toys were shown to the club by
Mrs. Whatley, which she and
Mrs. Thompkins had made.
It was decided that Mrs. Vera
There IS a
Difference in Gasolines
jcsso
Ac
-GAIN, Humble’s policy of continuous im-
provement registers a noteworthy gain in qual-
ity for Texas motorists. These two great gas-
olines, now improved, point the way to im-
proved performance for your car. When you try
them, you’ll agree that there is a difference in
gasolines.
Improvement of these gasolines results from our policy of
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: Humble technical men
are constantly experimenting, in the laboratory and on
the road, with improved products for your car. This con-
stant research results in continuous improvement of the
gasolines, motor oils and other products you get under
Ihe Humble sign. The process of improvement is so con-
tinuous that specific improvements frequently are made
without public announcement. It is only when marked
improvements are made,
like the improvement in
quality of these fine gas-
olines, that your special
attention is called to
them.
It all adds up to this:
we promise you that you
will find Humble prod-
ucts second to none, that
you can depend on con-
tinuous improvement to
keep the quality of Hum-
ble products up with, or
a little ahead of, the per-
formance built info your
car.

CLEAN, COMFORTABLE NESTS will mean fewer floor
eggs and cleaner market eggs. Nests that are constructed
to give proper ventilation add to the comfort of the birds
and also reduce mortality during the summer. It is best
that the nests be at least four inches away from the wall
so that air may circulate behind them. The line drawing
above gives detailed dimentions for constructing home-
made nests.
PROPER FEEDING EQUIPMENT is essential on any
poultry farm. The picture above shows a feed hopper
that is easily constructed and economical to build. The
line drawing shows the detailed dimentions for construct-
ing the hopper. County Agent L. A. Weiss Jr. will gladly
aid farmers interested in using the mash hopper and other
poultry equipment.
Cargill would meet with us on
April 25, as she was unable to be
with us at our regular meeting.
The meeting will be at Mrs.
Claude Dunseth’s home.
Those present, to whom refresh-
ments were served, were: Mes-
dames M. C. Ross, C. A. Neimeir,
Emil Leister, L. E. Beaty, Claude
Dunseth, George Barker, R. H.
Bluhm, J. H. Kinsler, O. W. An-

IRESH STRAWBERRIES
IN TIVOLI
‘T am so pleased over the results
of my small strawberry bed,” says
Mildred Sehleider of the Tivoli 4-H
Girls’ Club, “that next year I plan
to plant more strawberries. I am
really enjoying having fresh ber-
ries.”
Last fall Mildred planted 100
strawberry plants. In spite of dry
weather all fall and winter and
the severe cold weather in Jan-
uary, she has 91 living plants and
gets a dessert dish full of the ber-
ries every other day.
Mildred has planted a cutting
bed with grapes and young ber-
ries and will transplant them in
the winter, and has four Celeste
fig trees and 12 seedling peaches.
She plans to bud these peach trees
in the summer.
In addition to her work in pro-
ducing fruit, Mildred will study
how to prejpare and serve fruits
to the members of her family.
Youngstown
Kitchens Feature
Many Advantages
Home makers the country over
have heralded the ultra-modem
beauty and intelligent arrange-
ment of the Youngstown pressed
steel kitchen and now it is offered
in Refugio at the Frank Patty
Sales Co.
Youngstown kitchens are the
result of a million dollar research
by the famous manufacturers of
steel, incorporating detailed ar-
rangement which saves an esti-
mated 95 miles of walking per
year for those women who have
it. The arrangement includes a
cooking and serving center, dish-
washing and cleaning centers. But
best of all, Youngstown is within
the cost range of every family,
actually less than the cost of
wood, according to Frank Patty,
manager.
Being of all-steel construction,
Youngstown cabinets and cabinet
sinks, and overhead cabinets, are
sag-proof, will not bind and are
exceptionally quiet. They are de-
signed to accommodate a maxi-
mum of storage and shelving and
drawers are extra large, to com-
pletely assure space the modem
home requires.
Kitchen planning, where the
Youngstown cabinets are to he
used, is done gratis by the Frank
Patty Sales Co., or may be drawn
up in your original house plans
by your architect. However,
Youngstown is particularly adapt-
able to remodeling and may be in-
stalled within 24 hours.
The Frank Patty Sales Co. in-
vites you to see the Yougstown
kitchen on the gas company floor.
It’s the “kitchen of tomorrow.”
POULTRY RAISING
PROFITABLE TO FARMERS
Refugio County farmers are
more and more turning to the
comparatively easy and increas-
ingly profitable business of poultry
raising.
Since it is taken for granted
that every farm has a small flock
of poultry, the industry is com-
paratively easy because the farmer
has simply to add proper and
adequate facilities to his farm
equipment to take care of the
poultry.
There is profit in the industry,
since facilities for caring for the
fowls are economical to build and
maintain. Plans and specifica-
tions for proper feeders, nests and
other essentials are obtainable
from the Texas Extension Service
at no cost to the farmers. This
equipment has been tested by the
extension service and has been
found to give best results.
County Agent L. A. Weiss Jr.
is co-operating with farmers* in
their goal toward the poultry in-
dustry. He will gladly demon-
strate the equipment now in use
in the county and furnish plans
and aid in the building of proper
poultry facilities.
Recruiting Office
For Regular Army
The U. S. army recruiting serv-
ice has established in Victoria a
recruiting office for the purpose
of enlisting men for the regular
army. This office is to be a per-
manent station.
Young men desiring to enlist
must have the following qualifica-
tions: They must be single, be-
tween the ages of 18 and 35. If
under 21, the parents’ written
consent is required. They must
be able to pass a mental and
physical examination. If found
qualified for enlistment at this
station they will be given trans-
portation to San Antonio to be
enlisted thereat for the branch of
service and station of their choice.
Any young men interested in
enlisting or desiring information
pertaining to the army are urged |
to call at or write to Sergeant
John L. Marx, U. S. Army Re-
cruiting Station, Postoffice Build-
ing, Victoria, Texas.
Church and Train
Data by Telephone
The Bell Telephone Company’s
office at Mercer, Penna., has an-
nounced it is not only dropping a
five-cent charge for giving out
the time, but will also give free
to subscribers information on the
train schedules, time of church
services and what movies are
showing. The company asked sub-
scribers not to ask the location of
fires when the siren sounds, how-
ever, “because such requests at
times of emergency interrupt the
regular service.”
