• DISC PLOW •
'The New 2-in-l Hitch
FLEXIBLE when you want to turn corners, RIGID when
you want to plow a straight furrow—and the change from one
to the other is instant and automatic!
The most practical hitch ever offered the farmer, and an exclusive
feature of the new Avery Red Lion Disc Plow. With the rigid hitch you can
plow perfectly straight and clean furrows—and with the flexible hitch you
can quickly and easily turn sharp corners—save tugging and straining,
save time.Let up on the draft and the hitch becomes flexible; resume the
draft on the straightaway and the hitch becomes rigid.
It's all in the way the new hitch is designed. It is simple, solid, enduring
as time itself and absolutely trouble-proof. It is one more desirable and
exclusive feature from Avery’s 100 years of implement building experience
—one more proof of what Avery i3 doing to help make your job easier.
But the new hitch is only one of many striking advantages offered you
by the Avery Red Lion. You’ll want to see them all. You’ll never find a
plow you’ll like any better—or one that will do the job better or easier
or at lower cost. Avery Red Lion Plow3 are horse or tractor drawn.
Come in and see them today.
There is a full line, of famous Avery walking,
riding and tractor plows, tillage implements
and C hampion harvesting and haying machines

BRAIN INJURY FORCING
TO LEARN TO TALK AND
THINK ALL OVER AGAIN
DEL RIO, July 14.—At the age of
30, Edward Taylor scanned the world
through the eyes of an infant Sunday
and began again the arduous task of
learning to think, reason and talk.
Edward spoke his first words in
more'than a year this week. They
were: “Let’s go home.”
Since August 19, 1929, he has lain
in a state of. coma in a hospital here,
following concussion of the brain, suf-
fered when he was crushed under his
and constituting a lien on 445.5 acres horse.

Mother Knows
Her jSecret Now
®eFof a long time I couldn’t find
oat: what was making my little girl
so drowsy and cross,” says Mrs. J. N.
Mathis, who lives at 1141 Busby
street, here in Shreveport.
“She suffered, too, with pains in
facr stomach, she was restless, and
would whine and grit her teeth in
her sleep. I tried laxatives and other
medicines, but to no good. I had a
friend in Texas who recommended
White’s Cream Vermifuge, and —
Normadelle started feeling better
right away. Her cheeks are now
plump and rosy. She is so full of
fun, play and pep I can hardly keep
up with her.”

sign of round or pin worms. White’s
Cream Vermifuge is perhaps the best
medicine you can give them.

Boyd said the crop is made. The
squares and bolls that set from now
on, he said, will be destroyed by wee-
vils. as there is an unusually heavy
infestation this year.
Approximately 1,000 bales had been
ginned in the valley up to Sunday,
Boyd estimated, and the movement to
the gin will be fairly well under way
this week. He said that with good
weather the crop will be all picked
and ginned within a month.
GOVERNOR BREAKS
SILENCE AND MAKES
STATEMENT AT DALLAS
DALLAS, July 14.—Governor Dan
Moody broke his long silence on the
current political campaign today and
discussed “Fergusonism.”
In a formal statement issued “to
the people of Texas,” the governor
warned that former Governor James
E. Ferguson was “attempting to get
ho/fid of the government of Ttexas
through three different channels.”
He said Ferguson not only was try-
ing to put Mrs. Fei’guson in the gov-
ernor’s chair, but charged he was in-
terested in making Cecil Storey of
Vernon attorney general and that he
was supporting a number of legisla-
tive candidates who were favorable to
him and his governmental ideas.
HOOVER TO KEEP “HANDS
OFF” IN WHEAT SITUATION
WASHINGTON, July 14.—President
Hoover wa3 said today at the White
House to intend taking no action in
connection with the decline in wheat
prices but would leave the situation
entirely to the federal farm board.
Pointing out that the farm board
was created by congress and its mem-
bers confirmed by the senate to deal
with the farm situation, White House
officials said the president would main-
tain a hands-off policy except for ad-
visory conferences with Chairman
Legge.

That said property is the community
estate of plaintiff and T. E. Rippy,
deceased, as well as the sum of
$7466.65 which was cash in bank at
the death of said T. E. Rippy. That
said T. E. Rippy died in Lampasas
County Texas, and left a written will
which has been duly probated in said
county and Ed Hocker was named and
appointed Executor of said will and is
now qualified and acting as such. That
said Ed Hocker as such Executor is
in possession of said property except
the homestead on Lots No. 1 and 2

That said Ed Hocker as such Executor
has distributed said sum of $7466.65
among said 13 named defendants and
is collecting the rents from said real
estate and does not account to plain
tiff for same. That said real and per-
sonal property is susceptible of a fair
division in kind and that commission-
ers should be appointed to make par-
tition of said property.

property, and that said thirteen de-
fendants be required to pay into court
the money wrongfully paid to them,
that the homestead be set apart to
plaintiff and same be not partitioned
Physicians have abandoned plans
for an operation to remove a dot of
blood from his brain and are treating
the man with injections. They say his
recoveiiy will be slow.
Meanwhile Edwards’ mind remains
a virtual blank, and he must learn to
talk again the same as a child would
do. His -first words were spoken at
the hospital here shortly before he
was removed to the home of his father
to recuperate.

tract the cotton grower will sign when
he takes membership in the associa-
tion provides that the cost of handling
the cotton shall not exceed three per
cent for the sale of all cotton thru
the American Cooperative association
and under the supervision of the fed-
eral farm board; for the member to
deliver the association every other bale
of his crop until he has delivered 10
bales; and for the placing by the mem-

SLAYER WAITS 22
YEARS UPON EXECUTION
THAT NEVER OCCURS
TRENTON, N. J., July 13.—71-year
old Archibald Herron has been wait-
ing since 1908 to attend an execution
that wiii never take place.
He doesn’ mind. It’s his own.
Twenty-two years ago this month
Herron was sentenced to be electro-
cuted for killing the Rev. Samuel B.
D. Pricket. But writs and reprieves
and one thing and another kept delay-
ing the execution. Herron tried to be
patient.
Finally a supreme court justice
postponed the event until “further or-
der.” He died in 1923 without issuing
those orders.
So Herron has stayed on and on in
his cell, awaiting a natural death. He
has had hut two visitors in 12 years.
