—^A husband returning to V his

ond ten days of Mgrch reported
delivering to consumers 10,006
new cars and trucks despite the
existence of a national banking
holiday through much of the
period, H. J. Kllngler, vice-presi
dent and general sales manager
of the Chevrolet Motor Company
announced today. *
In the comparable period last
year reported retail sales were
10,378 new cars and trucks, Mr.
Klingler stated.
Owing to the difficulty of get
ting cars to dealers because of
lack of facilities for clearing
drafts, stocks of new cars In the
field were reduced' 3.477 units in
the second ten days of the month,
Mr. Kllngler reported.
“Prom the first of this year
to March 20 deliveries to con
sumers were 88,068 units as
compared with 86,769 in the
comparable period of 1932,” Mr.
Klingler stated.
“In the last ten da.vs of March
last year wp sold at retail 13,504
units, and I am in hopes that a

It will take about eight to
ten bushels of average-size sweet
potatoes to produce enough slips
to set one acre of land at the
tirsl pulling but if two or three
successive pullings can he made,

A very ancient complaiiit, and.
an annoying one, as you well
know, who are subject .to attacks
when least expected. Folks with
full vessels are liable to It; those
with "catarrh,” the old bogey
man of the quack. Those with
high blood-pressure? Well, If
you have It, the nose-bleed Is
likely to prove helpful at least
for awhile. Let It bleed If you
have Increased blood-pressure—
it will lower tension.
Most people do the very wrong
thing for an attack of nose
bleed; they rush to a basin of
warm water, and tr? to get as
'vnuch. of It in the nose as pos
sible. I’ve seen men try to drive
their forefingers into the nostril
as far as possible, for what pur
pose they could not tell. They
snort, blow the nose violently,
rasp the throat, and do every
thing to keep up the local up
roar. Everything but the right
thing.—which is to try to quiet
the nerves, cease snorting, pok
ing fingers and washing out with
warm water. . . . Just be still,
if you can. Let It drain, at least
’till the doctc r comes, if you were
so scared that you sent for him
posthaste.
Every individual has his own
time of blood-coagulation. I'his
is important to him—that is. the
number of minutes it takes bis
lilood to form a clot, which ar
rests the nose-bleed. A clot can
not ever form, niider warm wat
er douches, and fore-finger pok
ings. and snortings. Sit still—be
still-- apply cold if anything—
snort not at all. (ieiille pressure
at sides of nose may slow down
blood flow. Firm pressure up-
and-down aifd maintained—each
side of nose. No time wasted, no
harm done if it does not lielp.
But be quiet—deliberate; I nev
er saw a death from nose-bleed.
The time to cure nose-bleed is
to get next your good doctor
when the nose isn't bleeding
the doctor I said so.

left two days ago and theif^ chil
dren Blain and the man’'^ whom
he blamed- for the estrangement
unconscious in a gas-filled kitch
en. ,
The wife, Mrs. Mattie Sue
Bengert, 28, was strangled in
her bed. and a son. Carl L. Ben
gert, Jr„ eight, was similarly
slain and the 'body placed in an
automobile In the yard. The
other child, three-months-old
Thalbert Allen, was dead in the
kitchen oven; with all gas Jets
turned on.
The man, Henry B. Bedford,
.43, principal of Turner public
school here, lay across two chairs
in the kitchen, unconscious from
gas fumes. He had not regained
consciousness this evening, but
attendants at a hospital where he
was taken said he probably would
recover.
Police said they found nothing
immediately to contradict the
theory of Bengert that his wife
and children had been slain by
Bedford, who then attempted to
kill himself.
Bengert, a cabinet maker, told
police of difficulties which had
developed and increased after
Bentord went to board in his
home two years ago. Benford
w-as the owner ot the house, he
said, and moved in as a boarder
with his tenants after he was di
vorced.
Tlie husband said he had ac
cused Bedford of making love to
Mrs Bengert and that on Tues
day there was a bitter quarrel
which ended with Bedford order
ing him out of the house. Mrs.
Bengert, he said, refused to move
out with him, accusing liim of
being “foolishly jealous." Ben
gert then left and remained with
relatives until ItKiay.
This morning. Bengert said, he
received a message from his wife
asking him to return at 1:30 p.m.
He kept the appointment, only
to find his family dead.

To Farmers!
There’s no use talking about it—it’s a known fact that there
is no better fertilizer on the market than Armour’s. If there
• '
was, we wouM be selling another brand as we have always
tried to give our customers the very best for their money.
Farmers, you are busy now preparing your land for planting
corn and other crops. Regardless of how well you prepare
the land and what grade seeds you use, you will not obtain
the desired results from your labor unless you use the right
kind of fertilizer—an(i that right kind is—
ARMOUR'S
Field-Tested
Fertilizers
Come and get your supply of fertilizer while our stock is
complete. You will find that our prices are most reason
able as we operate with minimum overhead expense.
Get our prices on farming implements, garden tools, wire
. fencing, roofing, paints, etc., before buying elsewhere. You
will find in our stock just the articles you need about the
farm or home.
