ithody Adams, the indispensible
factotum in the flourishing village

Several truck loads of cattle
were hauled out Sunday for mar

i A movement has begun—wheth
er beyond the limitations of talk is
not ascertained—to build an elect
ric transmission line from Burwell

of this section.

It appeared during the hot days
of late July and early August that
there would be no potatoes in this
part of the vineyard for the new
federal frame-up to worry over.
At the time potatoes should have
been setting on the vine roots the
excessive overhead heat prevented,
but since rains and cool days have
come the potato vines are “coming
* back,” so that should the autumn
freeze-up hold off a few weeks
there will be a fair crop of spuds
hereabouts.
Re-wiring a Nation. President
Roosevelt in an address at Hyde
Park the other day said: “We
are rewiring the White House with

Bones, probably of a long dead
Indian youth, were picked up near
the Nebraska-Wyoming line by a
representative of an eastern uni
versity who gives out the unquali
fied, reliable and convincing infor
mation that they are the remains
of a monkey progenator of man
and 90 million years have gone into
prehistoric past since he dropped
in his tracks. How this gentle
man of letters is able to fix the
date is not clear but to the ordin
ary layman believing in the only
authentic record of creation it
looks like a clumsy if not an ab
surd guess. R. S.

FORD Y-8
EVERY ONE who steps into the Ford
V-8 for the first time is surprised at its
roominess. There’s exceptional seat
room, leg room and head room in all
body types — the whole car gives you
a feeling of substantial size.
The Ford gives you extra body room
because of the compact design of the
V-8 engine — an exclusive Ford fea
ture at a low price. This V-8 engine
takes up less space in the hood and
permits more of the car’s length to be
used for passenger comfort. Many a
car selling at a higher price does not
give you as much interior room as the
Ford V-8.
Rear sealift are wide and restful . . .
three people can ride comfortably in
the front seat of the Fordor Sedan,
Fordor Touring Sedan, Convertible
Sedan and Phaeton, and in the Coupes
and Roadster. The seat of the Ford
V-8 Roadster is 52 inches wide. A ride
in the Ford V-8 will show that it com
bines unusual body room with fine-car
performance, safety and comfort.
