Design Your Set for a Standard
Panel and Cabinet.

1t is a good plan to decide on the
parts. panel and cabinet that YOU
are going to use before actually MAX
ing your layout of parts on panel and
subpanel.
Many radio fans have come to grief
because they did not know the stand
ard sizes OF panels and cabinets that
were easily available from their neigh
borhoOd radio dealers
Design Your Set First.
1t Is a good plan to design your set
before actually buying the parts and
accessories. but in following out that
plan. do not fail to find out before
hand, whether the parts you intend
using are available.
This is especially important In the
matter OF panels and cabinets. The
extra cost Of having special panels cut
to your order or of a cabinet built to
order ia rather high and it will he
worth your while to read on and find
out what IS available in that line as
standard equipment.
There is more attitude allowed in
the matter OF panels than there is
with cabinets because a panel slightly
larger than that desired can be- OBJ
tanned and cut down to the dimensions
required. The cabinet. however. can.
not be adapted as easily as that.
Until recently practically all cabin
cts We're made inches deep. The
tendency now has changed to deeper
cabinets, which permit the set to be
constructed on shorter panel with
the parts spread out into the back
end of the cabinet. Where long
panel is used, the extra depth can be
used as battery space.
Many cabinets are now available in
9 and 10 inch depths.
Panels inches wide and 316 inches
thick are standard and are carried
by most radio dealers.
These come in lengths OF 10, IA, IS,
q, "a, %, 2S and 80 inches.
Standard cabinets which have been
designed for use with panels of that
size are kept in stock by most radio
dealers. The IA, IS and "a inch sizes
are the ones most commonly used.
Cabinets of various designs and
sizes can he obtained from your
nearest dealer or you can have them
shipped direct to you from the cabinet
manufacturers. Most cabinet manu-
facturers have catalogues Of their
cabinets with detailed information as
to dimensions and prices. Detailed

sdjoins Crystal City on the north. This
subdivision covers several hundred
acres and is Of vast Importance TO the
community as il is the first attempt
that has ever been made to take care
of the prospector who is looking for
small irrigated acreage Of from one
acre upwards. 4 fine artesian well
has just been put on the pump and is
capable OF furnishing water at the rate
of 1000 gallons per minute. Many
tracts have been sold and several new
houses are going up on this subdiyi-
sion which is destined 10. become the
garden spot and one Of the show places
Of the Winter Garden district. The
entire tract is being rapidly cleared
and additional wells will be drilled
when needed.
Other concerns have been in the
community recently looking for colo
nizstion tracts and il is believed that
several big tracts may be thrown open
for Development at no distant date.

NEW LIFE To
GARDENS
Recent Rains Aid Farmers
to Make Another Crop
Before Winter. =

CRYSTAL CITY, Tex, Aug. 90
With the approach OF fall the Crystal
City section of the Winter Garden dis
trict is taking on new life and the de-
velopment campaign which has con.
tinued with undated force throughout
the summer months is growing greater
every day.
In every direction from Crystal City
great columns of smoke are seen as
cending skyward bearing testimony to
the fact that thousands of acres of new
land are being cleared and the brush
burned.
NEW FARMS.
This virgin soil, which for ages past
has known only the stealthy tread of
the coyote, is being converted into ir-
rigated farms just as rapidly as it is
possible for human hands to make it
ready for cultivation.
More than 6000 acres of new land
has been cleared and put into cultiva.
ton during the past few months and
it is estimated that at least half that
many additional acres are either be-
ing developed or are under contract to
be developed.
A good rain fell over the entire
Crystal City section this week and the
feed crops planted earlier in the sea-
son will now make a second crop and
many acres of feed crops are now be-
ing planted as there is still ample
time to make crop before any cold
weather is anticipated.
RAINS AID.
Both stockmen and farmers are ju-
bilant over the prospects brought about
by the rain and already the grass is
springing up in the pastures. All wa
tering places are filled with water and
it will be some weeks before conditions
reach the stage that prevailed before
the rain came.
The amount Of rain falling in the
various sections of the community was
estimated at from two to five and one
half inches. The greatest precipita.
ton being to the southwest of town.
REALTY ACTIVITY.
There has been no shortage of water
for irrigation as the river and lakes
have been filled with water since the
high waters which occurred the first
week in June.
There has been considerable activity
in real estate circles and many tracts
of land of all sizes from an acre or two
up to several sections have recently
changed hands and in nearly every
case the purchaser either has already
started or intends to begin develop
ment at an early date. A few of the
most active in developing new land are
as follows: DR.. A. L. Curry of San
Antonio has purchased 800 acres and
is now improving it and plans to make
one of the finest farms in the Winter
Garden district. This farm lies on
the Nueces river at point Just above
the site Of the big dam which is to be
erected very soon. r. w. Hayes, also
of San Antonio, has purchased leo
acres in the same vicinity and will
develop it soon.
