PRESIDENTIAL
PLEASURES
President Roosevelt has of
necessity done more sailing and
fishing since he entered the
White House than he has horse
back riding but he likes the lat
ter sport and recreation, as does
Governor Landon, who also
shares the Roosevelt enthusiasm
for fishing.
Both love the out-of-doors and
both are boyish in their enthu
siasm for what they like. They
remind in a way of President
Theodore Roosevelt altho the
latter’s “strenuous life” included
exploratory* tours and many oth
er things i'hat neither the pres
ent Roosevelt nor Governor Lan
don has attempted.
Warren G. Harding was a
golf dev'otee in his outdoor rec

When the county’s cotton crop is
hauled away from the gin door It be
gins a journey that leads to a roman
tic future. Our glance at the familiar
bale is often the last glance of rec
ognition. When it returns it may be
in one of many forms, any of which
would need an introduction.
Three young men, formally boys of
Southern Pines, are now connected

“I think I can,” the father re

He was not as supple as the boy

estimate today is 1,439,145,000
bushels, reflecting a loss of 800,-

Based on crop conditions as of
August 1. the Department’s ex
perts estimate a wheat crop of
only 632,745,000 bushels, which
means there will be no wheat
available for export.
August 1 prospects, the De

wheat, beans, potatoes, several
commercial truck' crops and can

The potato crop, the summar

Department says, will be about
21 per cent below average; com

peaches, pears, grapes, cherries,
plums, prunes and apricots 27
per cent below last year and 23

STUDY the Ford V-8 features listed here. What car,
at anywhere near Ford’s low price, gives you the
equivalent of these advantages without charging ex
tra? The V-8 engine can be had in no car, except the
Ford V-8, under $1645. Ford’s great braking area per
pound of car weight, is not available under $3195!
Yet, every Ford V-8 regardless of price, gives you all
TEN of these vital values without charging you extra.
They are ALL included in the F.O.B. prices. And—
every one of “The Entire Ten” advantages are vital to
you and your family, your pleasure, comfort, safety
and your pocketbook.
A few minutes in a Ford V-8 will show you how
much “The Entire Ten” mean. You don’t appreciate
a Ford V-8 until you drive one. Borrow a car from
your Ford Dealer before you decide on any car.
