Whether you operate a great com- mercial dairy or keep only a few cows for the home supply of milk and butter, you can’t make a better in- vestment than money spent for modern concrete improvements. Concrete Construction Easy and Inexpensive A paved barn-yard and concrete floored barn or sheds are the first essentials. Concrete feeding racks; water tanks; silos; milk houses, etc., are highly desirable. You can build most of these your- self at small cost with concrete.

But you are thinking of the days of the old bucksaw, when the wood-box always seemed empty. On the electrified farm a motor belted to a saw cuts the winter’s supply of wood in a few hours. On motors—large and small —Wiring System, vacuum cleaners, MAZDA lamps, and refrigerators, the G-E mono- gram means endurance and service to the millions of people who are living better with the help of electricity. Look for it when you buy anything electrical for the farm. GENERAL ELECTRIC The same motor can be used for grinding feed and hoisting hay. Other motors run the milking machines, the cooler, and the water pump, and yet the cost is but a few dollars a month. With electric lights and running water, and power for washing, cooking, and cleaning all from the same econom- ical source, small wonder that ‘‘back-work’ disappears when electric power comes to the farm. If you are on an electric line or hope to be soon, ask your electric power company for a copy of the G-E Farm Book which explains many uses for electricity on the farm. nk ! : d W. B.

LUNCHEON TO FEATURE HUGE ATTENDANCE FOR TURKEY-DAY GAME HERE “Mess Hall Annex at 12:15 Thursday” Says Pres. Schepps Who Speech-Making—Seats, Food and Fun Here for Everybody. There are games of football of all kinds and between many teams and there are various sizes of crowds. So far none of them have come close to emulating the annual Thanksgiving Day Classic between the Farmers and the Steers and this year promises to be no exception. The game will be staged on Kyle Field, where two years ago the Aggies handed “Doc” Stew- art’s stalwarts an unmerciful drub- bing. The Texas-S. M, U. game played in Dallas this spring, in one of the largest cities of the State, drew close to 19,000 spectators but the A. & M.- Texas game in Austin last year drew 36,000 and the same game at College this year bids fair to draw at least 25,000. There’s no other game like it and regardless of the standing of the two teams its the one great foot- ball classic of the Southwest. As usual the A, & M. world will move to College for the Day. Special trains from every corner of the State will move in and the Campus will be- long that day to the visitors. Auto- mobiles will bring their thousands and even several planes are expected to hover and light for the fun. There is plenty of parking space for trains, autos, planes and humans. There'll be lunch stands galore on the campus, run by A. & M. students in need of money, to feed the visitors with wholesome food. The annual meet- ings of A. & M. men who have not seen each other in years will take place as usual. One special feature of the day will be the complimentary lunch, extended to the visiting A. & M. men and their ladies, by the College in the Mess Hall Annex. Registration for the affair will be in charge of the Brazos County A. & M. Club members and a badge is all that is required for entrance. President Julius Schepps of the Association will preside and Julius says that if there are over five minutes of speeches in all that he will the game. r= Business Manager of Athletics, Sully, says that he will take care of the crowd. No fifty yard line tickets are left, but you'll get a seat some- where. There’ll be the usual dances over the week-end with Texas’ fairest daughters here as the guests of the A. & M. Cadets. There’ll be the fa- mous “T” formation between halves and there’ll be hundreds of your old pals you'll love to see. Game starts at 2:30, A. & M. luncheon at 12:15, fun all day for everybody. — John H. Jones, ’22, writes that he has made a move and can now be written at Arlington, Texas, care Vil- lage Creek Farms.
