Auction Sidelights Thousands of crates of straw berries are moving through the block now that the season is reaching its peak. But the auc tioneer’s “Drive, driver, drive,” as soon as the load is bid in, keeps the line on its way. Now and then a snatch of son, in a sweet soprano voice that belongs to none other than Bill Hussey, will drift' out over the heads of the assembled throng. The other day the haunting (and how) refrain of “Say, Mr. Bullfrog,” brought sundry mutterings of reprisals. Visitors who observe the auc tion in action for the first time are amazed at the steadily changing scene and the speed 1 Watch Your Kidneys/. Doans Pills A CLUE!

The following poem honoring (?) our good friend “Bill” Hus sey was contributed: “Old ‘Bill’ Hussey is a fine, fine man, He sell berries hot like the frying pan, His brain is weak, but his voice is strong, So an auction block is the place he belongs!” With the advent of the berry season in earnest, trucks and automobiles bearing out-jof state license may be seen in increasing number around the auction block. One day the past week cars and trucks from Delaware, Maryland, New York, Florida, New Jersey, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Penn sylvania, and Connecticut were noted. There were probably others not noted. This is an excellent- indication of the fame of Wallace’s berry market. The market at Chadbourn, it has been learned, is now calling itself the “Largest Klondyke Market in the World.” With the experience Auc tioneer Hussey has in reading sign language, we believe he’d be a good man to take along on any expedition to the earth’s wild places. But then he’d pro bably raise the cost of his ser vices five cents every time some one made a gesture or friend ship to him. Rose Hill In the absence of the pastor, Rev. J. Herman Barnes, who is ill, prayer services were held at the preaching hour Sunday morning at the local Baptist church. The services were led by W. L. Beach.

So whenever the low-price field is mentioned, remember: Until Ford came, no average American could •wa a car. Today all Ford prices are still low — with the prices of the 60-horsepower Ford V-8 $30 to ‘ | $60 lower than those of any other car of tom i parable size. But with Ford, “low price” doesn't merely mean low figures on the price tag. It means much more than that. It means low prices and low costs all the car's long life. Low prices for ser vice — for parts — and, above all, for operation. Both Ford V-8 engine sizes are economical to operate. The 85 horsepower gives greater gas oline mileage this year than ever, and the “60” delivers the highest mileage in Ford history. Private owners, cab companies, fleet operators all report that the “60” averages from 22 to 27 miles per gallon of gasoline. Check and see how much Ford saves yon.
