(By Auntie)
We have some good news this week
v_had a nice shower of rain last
week. One farmer said he felt like
he could “holler” a week. This rain
will put enough moisture in the
ground to bring up corn that was
planted. Some waited until after the
rain to plant. The wind has been so
high that the ground has caked and
it is hard on the gardens. Auntie has
been putting l]^r garden to bed every
few days on account of having some
big frosts since the rain.
Well, Mr. Editor, you said you did
not raise any chickens at your home.
I’ll invite you to come out and eat
fried chicken with me before long.
We have over a hundred, twelve hens
sitting, and more to follow.
Jasper Fielder, who helps J. R. Gee

gone, he visited his mother at Rogers.

BABY SPEED DEMON
MISS DETROIT
MISS MINNEAPOLIS
For the past three years the Gold Cup—the most
cherished trophy in the tnotor boat racing field—
has been wen by a boat using TEXACO MOTOR
OIL.
This continuous performance speaks well for the
quality of TEXACO MOTOR OIL and its
ability to. maintain full power and high engine
efficiency at all times.
A trial in your car will prove its value to you in
a very concrete way. It will show a reduction
of gasoline consumption through increased com-
pression. lower operating costs by means of less
frictional wear and easier riding because of the
clean, carbon-f ree condition of cylinders, piston
heads and spark plugs.
Use it with TEXACO GASOLINE and get
more miles at less expense. You can procure
TEXACO MOTOR PRODUCTS from the
TEXACO dealer in your town.
