Day after day it becomes more apparent that the un rivaled popularity of the Bigger and Better Chevrolet is due to its basic elements of superiority. And the greatest factor of all is the effortless driving it pro vides. It steers with the weight of the hand— for the worm and gear steering mechanism is fitted with ball bear ings throughout • • • even at the front axle knuckles. The clutch is vel vety smooth in action and the gear-shift lever responds to the lightest touch. Accel eration is swift and certain, while big non-locking four- wheel brakes assure perfect control under every condi tion of highway and traffic. You’ll never know what a great car it is until you sit at the wheel and drive! So come in today for a demonstration! MICK CHEVUfr CO. McCORMICK, S. C QUALITY AT LOW COST MILDz.. VERY MILD.

Rork, producer of “A Texas Steer,” starring Will Rogers, and coming next Friday and Satur day to the Dixie Theatre. “Sam Rork engaged some real act ors for the acting parts; I’m just supposed to att natural and foolish like a Congressman,” explained Rog- ; ers recently. Louise Fazenda, star comic of Hol- ■ lywood, has the role of “Ma” Brand- er, wife of Congressman Brander of Texas. Rogers is the cattleman-con- ; gressman. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., | and Ann Rork have the juvenile leads ' around which the romance is devel oped. L'lyan Tashman and Sam Hardy have the comedy “heavy” roles, and George Marion Sr, is in the role of Fishback negro politician—the ! role, incidentally, which he created thirty or more years ago when Charles Hoyt first staged “A Texas Steer.” Bud Jamison, Arthur Hoyt, Mack Swain, Liieien LHtlefield and William Orlamond have the other big roles. Richaid Wallace, who directed “M.- dden’s Flats” and “The Amer ican beauty” recently, directed “A Texas Steer.” It is a Sam E. Rork production for First National Pic tures.

X vi f Harvest Of 50,000,- 000 Acres Exported ei- The ouptput of approximately 50*- 000,000 acres of American farm Ian® was represented in last year’s ex port of cotton, wheat, wheat flomu barley and rye, according to an esti mate by the Bureau of Foreign an® Domestic Commerce of the Com merce Department, announced tod*F by Dr. Julius Klein, Director. Of ficial figures give the combined value of these exports during 1927 as $1*- 226,266 045. It is estimated thafc from 112,000,000 to 120,000,000 acre* were required to produce the ent : *e domestic crop of these commodities. In announcing the estimate, pre pared on request Dr. Klein po ; nt*t out that the export acreage figures would be increased materially if ctm- sideration was given to other leading: commodities, such as • tobacco, con*» corn fed pork, and cotton textiles. Nearly 9,500,000 bales of cottox. valued at $826,000,000, found thw^ way into foreign countries during: 1927. It is estimated that it re quired about 30,000,000 acres of land, to produce just the raw cotton ports. During the calendar year 1927 port trade in wheat, wheat flow barley and rye amounted to 8,337,009 short tons, representing the produc tion of about 20,00(1000 acres. The largest share of the cottox was shipped to Germany, that cou«r- tiy taking about 2,611,000 balat, valued at $230 1 695,000. The Unite® Kingdom imported 1,694 000 batex valued at $140,167,000 while Japa*, the third ranking country in our cedr- ton export trade, took 1,437,000 bale^. Frarke followed with 945,000; Italy 670,000; Russia, 475,000; Spain, 315s- 00; British India, 262,000; Belgium^ 266,000; China, 243,000; and &ie Netherlands 135,000. Flour exports during 1927 rep resented 13i826,000 barrels. In adt- dit'on to the acreage and farm laboe* represented by this figure expwfe shipments of flour also involve the labor of more than 3,000 men word ing in over 450 average sized miftt every working day of the year. Ex port trade in flour represents over* ten per cent of the country’s entire flour trade. Our- largest flour mar- ket* are the United Kingdom, the Netherlasds, Cuba, China, Braz^, Germany, and the Philippines. The bulk of the exports of wheat grain during 1927 found its way be the principal European countries such as the United Kingdom, Nether- lanls, Italy, Germany France Bel gium, Greece and the Irish Free State. Important buyers outside c? Europe were Japan and Biazil. It is interesting to notq according to Dr. Klein, that from 200 000 250,000 freight cars were necessa?^* to haul the flour and grain produtfe*. to seaboard fo: shipment to foreig*; markets.
