probably that not a one thought they
would ever see me again.
But Oh, what a difference! The
plane- come over every day and night
and nobody pays them any mind. You
no longer get a kick out of hearing
that .a neighbor has flown. from Cuba
to Miami, or some prominent citizen
has been from Paris to London. It
takes that big ship that has made
its trip around the world, to create
interest in the air-flying nowadays,
and pretty Foon, 1 guess we’ll let
them float over the kitchen and
never quit stirring the pot of soup.
What is the world coming to any-
J'll not forget the first time I heard
a radio. I Just couldn’t make up
my mind’ that such a thing was
possible, and when I finally heard
this beautiful soprano voice float
ing out of that horn, and they told
me that the singer was in Texas—
I just felt life telling them
to quit kidding me—altho I
knew that what they said was true.
But I have never ceased to marvel.
And not so ljng ago—when I was
carried up to the fifth or sixth
story of the Biltmorc Hotel where
W. S. B. is located, and went into
the little room where the "mike”
vat hanging—to get ready for a
broadcasting program, I just wond
er-d (like the old woman who woke
up and even her little dog didn’*
know her) "can this be.really ME:'.
It is rather a queer experience—
speaking to an audiance—of you
know not how many hundred peo
ple—and not be able to see or hear
a thing. And they say—it will not
be LONG before we will have the
radio-teUphonca. Well, well, well,—
now did you ever? '
Then—they sty, that pretty soon
we will have li tie screens on our
telephones. and when the receiver is
down, the picture of the per-on talk
ing will fla-h on that screen. Well
—now—I wonder, if that is going to
prove popular? I have my doubts.
Don’t you? Now—just think a min
ute. Suppose you were busy getting
breakfast, and the fire wouldn't

Gtntlcmen:
Believing that you will be interested in why I continue to
*u> I ARM ALLS. I wish to tell you how we are handling them.
In the spring of 1927, I bought one FARMALL and with it 1
cultivated two hundred acres of cotton and corn. I was so well
pleased with it that in the fall of 1928 1 bought .another, adding two
hundred additional acres to power farming. The results continued
to be satisfactory so in th;- spring of 1929 I bought still another
FARAMALL. With the three I am now cultivating seven hundred
acres. All the yields have been very satisfactory.
You will be interested too in learning that I am now averag
ing twenty-five to thirty acres per day per man with the FARM-
ALL.
In the spring of 1930, I expect to buy another FARMALL
for myself and oi.e for my daughter. With tfec one for my daugh
ter, I expect to eliminate four families and five mules and have
one family do the'work of five. •
1 would like also to tell you that the upkeep has been
practically nothing on all of them.
In addition, I am using four INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS
that have given me excellent service,
Yours very truly,

ways recently surveyed by this cor- 1
respondent the Augasta-Macon Road
shows inadequate .oiar.it* nance, al
though it is much better kept than
some others. Much excellent w*ork
is being done on the shoulders and
banks of the fort/-seven-mile caved
section between Augusta and Louis
ville, but there are still stretches
where thr banks are washing away,
and where there are ruts and holes
.alongside the paving. In a few places
there are seams and cracks in the
concrete, which need filling with
asphalt, and in the fifteen-mile
stretch northeast of Louisville there
are several places where the concrete
has expand'd and buckled, leaving
broken and -’rumbling strips the en
tire width of the paving. These
should be cut out and patched with
asphalt.
On the unpaved sec. on between
Louisville and Milledgeville, a dis
tance of . fifty-five and six-tenth
miles, there are pinny placer where
the top-soil is thin or entirely worn
away. These will be slick and mud
dy during the winter rains and many
of the hills will be difficu't and
perilous to negotiate.
Inadequate maintenance on the
Augusta-Macon Highway appears to
be due more to lack of funds than
negiect, as a number of crews were
seen at work.—The Atlanta Journal.

—so Delightful to Drive!
The Chevrolet Six delivers its power
with that smooth, even, velvety
flow which characterizes the truly
fine automobile. At every speed, you
travel without the slightest annoy
ance from vibration. Equally de
lightful are its comfort and han
dling ease. Four long semi-elliptic
shock absorber springs provide the
rdad balance found in the finest cars.
And the steering gear is equipped
throughout with friction-free ball
bearings.
—so Durable and Dependable!
The Chevrolet Six is built to the
world’s highest standards. Its design
represents more than four years’
development and testing. Materials
are carefully selected. Highly skilled
workmen perform every manufac
turing operation. And Inspection is
rigorous and continuous. The result
is quality so high that you can
confidently* look forward to thou
sands upon thousands of care-free,
dependable miles!
—so Economical to Own!
Many people still do not appreciate
how little it costs to own a Chevro
let Six. You can actually secure a
Chevrolet Six for practically the
same cash and monthly payments
you would expect to make for any
low-priced car. Furthermore, it is
unusually economical to operate—
better than 20 miles to the gallon
of gasoline, with unusually low oil
consumption. Come in for a demon
stration today!
