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.

Mo * o *' : * o *°"°* s * s 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.
