"Thirty- Cent Cotton" Raleigh,. March 6 ? "Thirty Cent Cotton" was the way W. H. ^Austin, of Smlthfield, signed his letters to friends six months ago. His friends now call him "Thirty Cent Cotton." Mr. Austin, who is president of the North Carolina Cotton Growers' Co operative Association, isn't bragging about it at all, for he is far too busy to boast about his achievements. He raised more than two thousand bales last year, and he has large business* FREE SEEDS ANOTHER hi?toric American institution passes ouL After June 30, no more free seeds will be mailed by congressmen to the voters back home. In refusing an appropriation for free seeds. Congress in effect announced its decision that seeds fail as vote getters. Perhaps the decision was hastened ^by Alice Robertson's recent defeat in the Congressional elections, though she mailed enough free seeds to Oklahoma to liii 850 mail bags. * Free seeds have, for years, been a bone of political con- ? tention. It may be true, as one side argues, that distribut ing free seeds merely makes all taxpayers help pay for a congressman's re-election. It may or may not oc true that the seeds sprout into some votes. But somehow we cannot help thinking that, regardless of the purposes for which they were mailed, these free seeds have done about as much ultimate good as any other ? way of spending Uncle Snm's money. For there are very few people who can resist planting a package of seeds. And a lot of good garden truck ?ind exhausted just what it has done for me. Yours truly, Mrs. Mary A. Mason, Bangor, Maine.

W e have a carload that will reach us last of this week two of this lot is not yet sold. Place your order now. Nothing But Praise for Star Car Models A car without an "experi mental period." A car fhat haa made good In the service of owners from the very first. A car that has captured the loyal support of owners from the first car produced and sold. This Is a simple (though Inadequate) description of Star Car performance, as outlined In the flood of let ters from Star Car owners constantly pouring Into offi ces of Star CaT representa tives . These letters are eloquent testimonials of the value of . the Stt* Car. They give re markable stories of Star Oar performance and economy. Best of all, they give the viewpoint of the man who must be pleased If any car is to be manufactured and sold successfully ? the owner. In the few short months the Star Car has been in pro duction,' nothing but praise has been heard for it. His tory-making though Durant men knew the Star Car to be. it is gratifying to every Star Car representative and sales man to know that owners share their enthusiasm for the Star Car. Everyone calls the Star Car "W. C. Durant's Wonder Car" ? and it is all that. Own ers praise its ability' its econ omy, its riding comfort. Me chanics and service men praise its accessibility, the ease with which replacements or repairs may t>e made. The owner believes the Star Car was especially designed to make satisfactory low-cost transportation available for him. The mechanic says the construction of the Star Car and the way it is "put to gether" is something new In bis experience. They are both right. H. M. Zell, manager of one of the chain of Child's res taurants in New York Cityj, is the owner of the first pro-, duction Star Car built In t.hn east. ? Tnis car was delivered to him July 22' 1922. In a letter to one of the service department officials at Long Island C(ty, Mr. Zell calls his car "Mr. Durant's new Won der Car." Then he goes on to say: "I have had the pleasure, in the past -two weeks, of testing and trying out the first Star Ca rthat was de livered In New York. "Here are a few of the won derf\* performances of this car. I started up Lookout Hill In Prospect Park, Brook lyn; in the middle of the hill I brought the car to a dead stop, started in low, shifted then to second, and then high, and was making thirty miles an hour when I hit the top of the hill. Mo tor was as cool as before starting. There are few cars that can climb this hill with out ? changing ? nto swond speed to reach tne top. "The pick-up of the motor when making speed changes is wonderful' The oiling system can't be beat. There s no better water circulation system. "And the tiding comforf of this car is wonderful. I find the use of the Durant Tubular Backbone does all claimed for it ? It acts as a shock absorber as well as a support to the chassis' "111 say any other automo bile manufacturer will have to. go some to beat this won derful car ? The Star." Mr. Zell'B letter was writ ten several months after his car was delivered to him. It shows accumulated satisfac tion. Another recent letter from a Star Car owner stresses stamina and pulling power of thiB car, as well as the low upkeep cost. This letter was sent in by The Service Gar age, Inc., Natchitoches, La., and was written by Elva A' Scroggins. Mr. Scroggins says: "I hav? had my car in the transfer service for five weeks' . During ,the holiday rush I made jnany trips to Many, Chestnut, and Powha tan during and right after the roads were impassable. I made all the trips without any kind of trouble. The Star Car is the best pulling car in nigh gear I have ever driven. I am averaging twenty-two miles to the gal lon of gasoline' and my en tire expense in five weeks for repairs was only 85' cents for aburned front wheel bearing due to lack of grease. I can recommend the car as being the best buy for the money." Incidentally' The Service Garage, lac., in a letter ac companying Mr. Scroggins's endorsement of the Star Car, give some figures on their January business which we can't resist Inserting here. ' Never before In the life of our organization have we de livered over one or two cars during the month of January. Sc far this month we have delivered Beven Star tourings and two "Durante, and have eleven orders on file for de livery as souu as m tan get them." The figures tell the story. The biggest year In the history of Durant dealers p.nd Star Car representatives is here! But this Is a Star Car story. Thirty miles to the gallon of gasoline is worthy mileage. Harrle R. ulcus, en6 of the truant officers of the Detroit Board of Education, gets this mileage regularly from her Star Car. In her letter, she says: "I have driven my Star Car for three months as a truant officer for the Board , of Education in Detroit, Mich. -I nee da car each day In my work. "At the present time I own a Star touring car, purchased In October, 1S'22, and it gives me great pleasure to state that I obtain, easily, thirty miles to the gallon of gaso line, and the car has given Eie very satisfactory service." Wo could continue these examples of satisfactory Star Car service Indefinitely if space would permit.
