MRS. FERGUSON IS
LIKELY CANDIDATE
AUSTIN, Jan. 31.—Jim Ferguson
wants to “tote wood and water” for
Ma Ferguson again and frankly says
so, and this, along with a barrage of
other strong hints and assertions in-
dicates to the capital political mind
that Mrs. James E. Ferguson will
throw her bonnet into the guberna-
torial contest ring once more.
It would be the fourth time the
bonnet has shown up in the ring, the
first time when she defeated Felix
Robertson, again when she ran for a
second term against Dan Moody, and
the third when Ross S. Sterling was
her leading opponent.
In the present contest so far are j
Sterling and Tom Hunter of Wichita
Falls. It is fully expected Mrs. Fer-
guson will be the third entry and her
husband refuses to deny it, confining
himself to the statement that neither
Pa nor Ma will run for Congressman-
at-large.
Senator Clint Small of Amarillo,
who was third in the last governor-
ship race, is not expected to seek the
honor this time, again running for the
Senate, although he has made no defi-
nite announcement.

MONDAY FOR MRS. DUZAN

ment was made in the' cemetery at
Dobyville. The deceased had lived
in this and Burnet counties for a num-
ber of years and had many friends

Mrs. Duzan had been in very bad
health for some time and for about
two years had been confined to her
home. She was a member of the
Church of Christ and had been a reg-
ular attendant upon the services of
this church when her health permitted.
Mrs. Duzan is survived by her hus-
band and the following children:
Schultz Duzan of Putnam; Mrs. Wal-
ter McGehee, of San Antonio; Misses

vinced it is the best washer buy—at

The Niagara Model is new—but behind it is the engineering skill
developed in making Whirlpool washers for more than 33 years.
Major parts are casehardened and ground. That means a smoother
running machine that does the washing faster and with less wear.
It means freedom from trouble and repair bills.
This Whirlpool washes with the exclusive Hydro-Actr washing
principle—the fastest washing action known—powerful enough to
wash the heaviest blanket—yet so gentle it will not harm the
daintiest handkerchief.
