stead. came with Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

enable both teachers and pupils to ac
complish more and do away with the
handicaps that confront them.

Yes: There Ain’t No
Fish in Rockdale Now
When four men catch forty nice size
fish in one afternoon in Rockdale
county you naturally come tif the con
clusion Unit there are lots of suckers
in our waters, hut not so —narry suck
er in the hunch. Judge J. It. Irwin
iliapei'imed the hunch, consisting of
Dr. 11. G. McElvnny, Col. C. it. Vaughn
and ( has. K. Galley. All of their catch
came from Costley's mill pond or
swimming hole and you could tell they
were caught with hook and line lie
cause there were a number of fish
poles fastened onto tlie.'r car and we
know tiny caught the fish because we
saw and counted them and would
guess that they had ten or twelve
pounds, hut as to the kind of bait
used or not used is their own secret,
hut we are interested in Bill Wheeler
and his catch Monday night, for lie
came in Tuesday morning with more
than a dozen cat fish that measured
from eight to sixteen inches long. We
would intimate how we think Bill
caught these fish, hut he might tell
where lie found our lantern last fall.

It costs very little
to recondition a
MODEL T FORD
THE Ford Motor Company is making anew car,
but it is still proud of the Model T. It wants every
owner of one of these cars to run it as long as
possible at a minimum of trouble and expense.
Because of this policy and because of the
investment that millions of motorists have in
Model T cars, the Ford Motor Company will con
tinue to supply parts as long as they are needed
by Ford owners. ,
So that you may get the greatest use from your
Model TANARUS, we suggest that you take it to the near
est Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost
of any replacement parts that may be necessary.
You will find this the economical thing to do
because a small expenditure now will help to
prevent costlier repairs later on, increase the
value of the car, and give you thousands of miles
of additional service.
For a labor charge of only $2.60 you can have
your generator put in first-class condition. Anew
universal joint will be installed for a labor cost
of $3. Overhauling the carburetor costs $1.50;
steering gear, $3.50; radiator, $7.50. A complete
overhauling of the rear axle assembly runs be
tween $5.75 and $7 for labor. An average price
of $22.50 covers the overhauling of the motor
and transmission.
These prices are for labor only because the
need and number of new parts depend on the
condition of each car. The cost of these parts is
low, however, because of the Ford policy of manu
facturing and selling at a small margin of profit.
