S e e n b y M a r i a M a n The teeming citres of central

and south Texas that are a bee­hive of activity in this post-war period were seen last week by Hen­ry Schutze, Marfa resident, who visited his brother, Adolph E., in Austin and went from there to Houston, Corpus Christi, and Goose Yjreek.

Mr. Schutze's brother in Austin, a retired merchant, has been i l l many months and his condition is little changed. He was the original owner of the Busy Bee, Marfa re­tail store until not long ago.

In Austin, Mr. Schutze says, residential building is extending ten miles from the city and many of the houses are quite expensive. Hundreds of one-room properties are being erected to house Univer­sity of Texas students.

Mr . Schutze flew from Houston to Corpus Christi and from the coast city to San Antonio. In Robs-town he visited his mother, Mrs. Annie S. Schutze, and in Goose Creek was the guest of his son, Dr. Henry Gordon Schutze, and fam­ily. He was especially impressed by the busy Houston airport where it is said an airplane lands each fifteen minutes. The air trip from Corpus Christi to San Antonio was made in forty-five minutes by Mr. Schutze and the craft was at a 7500-foot height most of the time.

Myriads of autumn flowers and greenery with additional decora­tions of purple and white—Marfa High School colors—provided a most appropriate and colorful set­ting for the coronation ceremony in the high school gymnasium Thursday evening of last week, when W. A. Oatman, 1946 football player, placed a gleaming crown upon the brunette tresses of Miss Sargie Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Jones, thus crowning her Queen of the 1946 Shorthorn Football Team.

Several hundred Marfans wit­nessed the ceremony which cli­maxed two weeks of intensive campaigning among the students of the four high school grades for the selection of queen. Trumpeters Introduce

The blowing of trumpets by Lewis Neumann, Gary Darr and Lawrence Howard, greeted the members of the court as they en­tered under an archway covered with crepe paper streamers in the school colors. They were immedi­ately announced by Lloyd Mac­Donald and Alfred Thorpe.

Queen Sargie, making her en­trance down the long, white car­peted aisle, was attended by Billy Holland and Frank Webb as train bearers, and was preceded by two tiny flower girls, Zoe Ann Hunter and Nancy Lee. Accompanying the flower girls was Jimmy Mar­shall, who held before him the coveted crown which he carried to the throne.

H o u s e N u m b e r . S t r e e t N a m e o f "This information would be of considerable help to us." Those are the words of H . F. Fox, District Manager, South­

western Bell Telephone Co., in speaking of numbers on the houses of Marfa's marked streets.

Prompt action in numbering houses, according to a definite, systematic plan, can result in those numbers being used in the Febru­ary, 1946, edition of the telephone book. Mr. Fox wrote in this manner in response to a query by the Sentinel as to when house numbers "copy" would be needed:

"The latest date for changes in the directory will be about January Srd, 19%7.

"As you know, we keep the control record posted up to date on each directory so there are only a few changes to make after the closing date. If a wholesale change is to be made such as add­ing street names and house numbers we should have at least a month to secure them and record the information; however, as this information would be of considerable help to us we would try to handle the change on shorter notice.

ul realize this doesn't give you much time but we will do everything we. can to help Marfa in this project."

The Sentinel believes that the including of the house numbers and street names in the telephone directory would be a great step forward in establishing the use of CORRECT addresses for Marfa residents sj-.d bubiness firm*. Concerted, worth while community-progressing action during the next four to six we*ks hv the following manner will accomplish i t :

a) Establishing of numbering system by the City of Marfa and making available to all their CORRECT residence or business house number and street name.

b) The stenciling on curbs in front of property of the COR-: RECT lusmjbers.

c) The numbering of houses by each resident to agree with the number on the curb. / j

d) The supplying to the telephone company or the CORRECT .tie* «% quickly m humanly possible.

F o r t Stockton Foe O f Shorthorns i n Pecos County Town Th i s Even ing

Alp ine football players landed at the bottom of the heap F r i d a y n ight when the Shorthorns battled them to a 45 to 6 count on M a r t i n F ie ld before a crowd that provided the largest "gate" in many years, perhaps the largest in history.

Gross proceeds, f rom ad­vance sale of tickets and at the gate, were $1,040.25. Of­ficials and thei r expenses cost $102, the government ticket tax was $178.09 and the re­mainder—$760.16 — was d i ­vided between the schools' athletic funds.

The game was better than the lopsided score would indicate, with Alpine fighting hard throughout the game. F i r s t Counter by M a r f a

Alpine made the first down but was forced to punt on the next series of downs and Marfa took over on its own 40-yard line. A series of runs, and two passes to A l Franco, took the Shorthorns to the Alpine 1-yard line and Toombs went over for the firsj touchdown.

An Ab Franco 60-yard gallop for a touchdown was futile as a clipping penalty was invoked. Maria's next touchdown was by Oatman who went 20 yards for the counter, Toombs made the point and Marfa led, 13 to 0, at the end of the first quarter.

Both teams fumbled frequently as the second quarter began and Alpine intercepted a pass but after the Shorthorns took the ball on a punt they marched 60 yards for a score with Ab Franco carrying. Alpine players then took over and strode steadily down the field for 80 yards and a touchdown. The Marfa line took a good pounding when Alpine used the ground for 65 yards of the march. Las t H a l f Marfa ' s

In the last half the Shorthorns were on top. The fourth touch­down came after a 60-yard ad­vance, the fifth was the result of an intercepted pass followed by a 40-yard run by Ab Franco. Toombs' 30 yard run gave the sixth counter and the last score was on a pass. Ab Franco tq A l Franco, with the latter lateraling to Mu-noz. That combination counted for 50 yards!

Gaining on the ground was mostly bv Tombs and Oatman with Bel! and Harfst performing beet there for Alpine. In the air the Francos and Munoz were tops for Marfa. Marfa's line did well with Vasquez, Holzheuser, Oatman, and Munoz leading in defense. Tabulat ion Interest ing

Statistics of the game as sup­plied by Boren Hunter, coach, are: First Downs: Marfa 20, Alpine 6; Yards Earned by Running: Marfa 379, Alpine 97; Yards Earned by Passing: Marfa 136, Alpine 20; Punts: Alpine 5. Mnrfn 0.

The Shorthorns will face the Fort Stockton Panthers tonight in a game on the Pecos Count;/ elev­en's gridiron. Fort Stockton has practically the same team that it has had for three years and may be expected to put up a good battle. Barton and Reeves, backfleld play­ers, are Fort Stockton mainstays.

A week from tonight Marfa plays Sanderson and two weeks from tonight—November 16—the Shorthorns will be in Alpine for their final, scheduled game of the season.

about $600 and it is hoped that this (may be received before the uniforms arrive. The order in­cluded several extra uniforms which will be saved for students who will come into high school from the elementary school.

It was the concensus of the club that girls of the Pep Squad should be permitted to wear the capes that band members here formerly wore. Mr. Wheat said that the matter had been considered.

G o o d R o a d s V o t e The earnest hope that people of

this section will vote in favor of the "Goods Roads Amendment" when they go to the polls Tuesday, November 5, was expressed Wed­nesday by L . L. Warner, secretary, Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Warner commented that such action by people in this sec­tion would be of great worth in this section's efforts to secure the building of needed highways. A preponderance of votes in favor of the amendment, known as one guaranteeing a permanent policy of road financing, would be ex­cellent "ammunition" to use in seeking worth while highway de­velopment work in this section.

Other amendments which will be balloted upon Tuesday will be one providing payment of deficit war­rants given contractors who erected a building at John Tarle-ton Agricultural College,. and another which v/culd authorize re­tirement, death compensation and disability systems for state em­ployees, and for such counties as care to set up such for appointive officers and employees.

The election Thursday, Novem­ber 7, will be on an amendment which would create a Veteran's Land Fund for the purchase of land in Texas to be sold to Texas veterans of World War f l .

becoming acclimated to the Cana dian River cattle country of the Weymouth Ranch in the Amarillo section of the state where they have five years of care assured them.

Trapping in over-populated areas of this section began last week and Pierce Uzaell, State Game, Fish, and Oyster Commis­sion employee, who lives here, said Wednesday evening that sixty-nine antelope had been taken from the south pasture of the Gilmer Mor­ris ranch, east of Alpine. The animals are transported in slatted trucks and a cattle truck-trailer unit to the reauesting area wh*»rp they are received by a project worker for habitation on an ap­proved ranch. Canvass B a r r i e r A n A i d

J . O. Casparis, Alpine flyer, "rounds up" the antelope toward the first ("Texas") pen, construc­ted with side "wings" and en­closing an area about 1,000 to 1,-B00 feet by 335 feet (entrance). Workers are about, one-half mile away but when Casparis signals with the plane wings they close in with a long canvas frightening barrier. A crowding pen of 4000 square feet and a catch pen of 140 square feet are used, in that order.

After the animals are "seined" into the crowding pen, on which double gates with trigger rope are used, they are taken in groups of eight or ten into the "catch pen," smallest of the series, where they are caught individually. Ear-tagging is done, and a written rec­ord made a r . rr.- ^it i jn '>? animal, and destination. Four Months W o r k A h e a d

This is the fourth season that trapping has bee~v done although none has been done for several years. This year, or eventually, trapping wil l be done on these ranches: Smith Bros., H . T. Fletch­er, Minims, W. T. Jones, Milton Gillett, Brite, Dunkle, Pete Ken* Mdy, Ottis Kimball, Perry..dart* wrlfht, Xokerftot 0—6. The work

the fawn crop may be endangered by trapping methods.

O. F, Etheredge, Alpine, is Pro-ject Leader of the work and Mr. Uzzell is Assistant Project Leader. Three men and a cook have head­quarters at Marfa Army A i r Field and the crew is to be increased soon by two. Ray Williams. A l ­pine, Game Warden, and W. C. Kountz, Fort Davis, Game Ward­en, aid in the work—the latter with his "super deluxe jeep" which is acquiring quite a reputation as an antelope snarer.

An advertisement by the state in this week's Sentinel asks bids hy Nnwmber 6 or. the rental of a building in Marfa to the Game, Fish, and Oyster Commission. The rental period is November 6 to May 6, 1947. Specifications are available in Austin but it is as­sumed that the building is wanted for the storing of motor vehicles and other equipment used in this fall-winter antelope trapping pro­gram.

Many Show Interest In Farm-Ranch Chance Provided by Amendment

AUSTIN, Oct. 23.—Passed by the Legislature unanimously and approved by the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the 36th Division and the State Democratic Convention, a Consti­tutional Amendment making it possible for Texas veterans to pur­chase farm and ranch homes from the State, faces ratification by the voters on Thursday, November 7.

More than 5,000 Texas veterans have expressed a desire to parti­cipate in the program.

Under the plan the state would put some 10,000 tracts located in every sector of the state on sale to the veterans for as little as 10 per cent down with 40 years to pay the balance at 4 per cent in­terest. The tracts would rang« from 50-acre farms to 2,500-acre ranches with a maximum purchase price of $5,000.

Each tract would carry a fifteen-sixteenth mineral fee interest in oil and gas and seven-eighth min­eral fee interest in sulphur. Pur­chasers would not be required to homestead the land. They would also be permitted to dispose of their equity.

The State, which owns several million acres of land, would select the best tracts and supplement this acreage through purchase of some of the 2,400,000 acres of land acquired by the Federal govern­ment during the war.

The program, which would run over an eight-year period, would be administered by the Veterans' Land Board composed of the Gov­ernor, Attorney General, and the General Land Commissioner, in co­operation with enabling statutes by the Legislature. This Board would be authorized to issue up to $25,000,000 in bonds to be sold to State surplus funds, for the pur­pose of purchasing Federal-owned land.

Livestock and feed went up as cotton, grain, eggs and poultry went down last week while most vegetables, rice, peanuts, butter and milk held steady at southwest markets USDA's Production and Marketing Administration re­ported today.

Cotton tumbled about $25 a bale last week. The trade associated this drop with speculation regard­ing decontrol of cotton textile prices and uncertainty as to out­look for sales of cotton textiles. Also, seasonal heavy movement of the crop into trade channels may partly explain the break.

Hog prices took one of the big­gest jumps on record last week when ceilings came off and soared $8 to $10, but later declined $2 to $4 a cwt. as receipts increased. Friday's quotation fof good and choice butchers stood at $22 a cwt., San Antonio.

Decontrol of meat brought a rush of cattle to market last week.

Receipts at six southwest term­inals totaled 90,400 compared to 82,000 for the corresponding week last year and 55,375 for the pre­vious week. Cattle advanced $2 to $4 a cwt. at southwest markets in contrast to gains of $5 to $10 at midwest markets. Friday's prices quoted here were down from the week's peak.

Houston sold common and me­dium steers and yearlings at $13 to $15 a cwt. and good beef cows $12 to $13.50. Medium and" good cows brought $12 to $16, San An­tonio and Ft. Worth; good cows

$15 to $16.50, Wichita and $16.50 Denver. Oklahoma City quoted me­dium and good steers and year! ings $12 to $23 and top beef cows at $20.

Southwest sheep and lamb mar­kets reported advances of 50 cents to $5 a cwt. on lambs and 50 cents to $1.59 on ewes. Friday's prices were somewhat lower than the ex­treme highs following mept de­control. Common and medium lambs brought $13 to $15.50, San Antonio; medium and good fat lambs $17.50 to $21, Ft . Worth; good and choice lambs $22 to $23, Oklahoma City and $22, Denver.

Trading in domestic wools was nil last week. Prices were up 3 to 5 per cent under the new sched­ule. Finer grades of sorted mo­hair could be readily sold as soon as offered.

When Henry Fletcher, Presidio county ranchman, sees those high­way signs—"Visit Harold's Club, Reno, Nev.—" they'll mean more to him now than just a reminder of the amusement place that was given national prominence by Life Magazine some time ago.

The Fletchers have just re­turned from a trip of several weeks that took them to Salt Lake City, Utah, across Nevada and into California.

He says that they got intD Reno at 11 o'clock on a Sunday morn­ing and found "Harold's Club" jam-packed to the extent that one almost had to fight his way to the bar/or gaming rooms. The crowd at that time on Sunday left him without a conception of the num­ber of people that must have crowded the place on the Saturday night before.

The Fletchers saw some snow while on their trip and also trav­eled on highways that had been damaged by flood water.

JEFF IN THE GROOVE— Movie fans invariably think of

vivacious Jeff Donnell as a dyed-in-the-wool hepcat—maybe be­cause she had a jitterbug dance routine in practically every one of her films. Her latest picture is Columbia's new musical, "It's Great to Be Young" playing at the Palace Tuesday only, and oh oh yes!, Jeff is in the groove!

FILM LOSES TO STORK— Republic Studios ran a race with

the stork, while they were filming 'My Pal Trigger," Wednesday-Thursday attraction at the Pal­ace.

The story called for twin colts to be born in the final sequences, sired by the famous Palomino him­self!

Several, among the twenty-five mares in Trigger's "harum" were "expecting," and the studio hoped to use Trigger's own colts in the production. However, the stor t lingered too long, and Republic had to use two other wee palominos.

Roy's fade-out line to Trigger in the picture, incidentally, is a cinema classic.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 23.— Special flower ceremonies with contributions of single blooms from each donor will again mark memo-vial services on Navy Day, Sunday, Oct. 27, for all persons who died at sea difring World. War II, Eighth District Headquarters an­nounced here today.

Participants were asked to send one blossom or bud, preferably wild or home grown, and to avoid sending flowers purchased for more than a modest sum. Flowers received at designated ports be­fore midnight, Saturday, Oct. 26, will he put aboard Navy ships or planes and scattered over the oceans in expression of the senti­ments of a grateful world.

Appropriate all-faith services will be held before the take-off and ships and planes will proceed out of sight of land to scatter their floral offerings, the Navy said.

Sponsored by the Navy League,

official sponsor of Navy Day, the ceremony will be observed in the continental limits and in Alaska, Pearl Harbor, Guam, Manila, San Juan, the Canal Zone, Samoa and the Virgin Islands. Flowers from the United States will not be de­livered to ports overseas, since ports outside tr e continental limits have been designated for local ob­servances only, the Navy ex­plained.

In the eight states of the Eighth Naval District (Alabama, Arkan­sas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Okla­homa, Tennessee, Texas and ex­treme Northwest Florida), the ports of Mobile, Ala. , Corpus Christi, Texas, and Pensacola, Fla., have been designated as re­ceived spots for flowers. Blossoms should be *sent in care of the Se­nior U . S. Navy Chaplain at the closest of the three ports, district officials said.

A favorite recreation In our town Is getting together in one or an­other's home and making music There's somebody at the piano; a guitar; a fiddle player: and Molly Birtles even has a harp!

What comes out isn't the best music in the whole world, In fact, a lot of it is downright bad. But nobody even thinks to question or to criticize.

Because the spirit of harmony is there—harmony between folks who like each other's company, who en­joy the simple, homey atmosphere

Great and enduring things seldom happen b y chance. Only through vision and planned action can man discover new and better ways to serve.

In pursuit oi this policy* Southern Pacific imrinttifns a constant program of research and improvement • . . seelrtng new ways to bwamt Southern Pacific's services to the trav­eling public and the nation.

Typical of the accos^lishmonts of thta pro­gram is the new Pecos River High Bridge, recently built by the Southern Pacific at a cost of over one million dollars. This giant structure spans a gorge having a depth o i a l l met below rails, located on the Pecos i N e r as* SP*s famed trans-continental Sun­set Route, New Orleans, to Cattfocnia. It Is me mird bridge to be bvtfit by Southern Po> cSfie aver mis crossing. Souujern Pacific's first Peccs fflver bridge was a short low structure that took trains antes out o i their w a y i n crossing. &8$sc» the development o i bettor mafieskns men could span 6>eper parts o i the r tw? made possible the buUding o i a larger bridge, completed to 1891 which sa ted over eleven miles o i trackage and was at feat time one o i me highest railroad bridges In the world. *

With the coming o i World War VL the Pecos River crossing attained a strategic Import­

ance beyond comparison. He<*vy IWi-vvest military traffic flr»*rsd with ever-increasing tempo oT*t Southern Pacific's main line, and, in order to speed up traffic which was re­stricted by slow orders over the old bridge, the progressive management o i the Southern Pacific proceeded with plans for a modem high speed structure.

Future needs and expansion were anticipated and the present bridge was buUL Into the building o i fins straeture, 1390 feet In length, went 18 months of labor by 900 men . . . 2700 tons o i s t ee l . . • 15,000 cubic yards o i concrete • . • and me combined knowledge and consdenfious effort fit many of our na­tion's most learned engineers.

This program, pursued consistently h i the "fetrexftdhrAeBt* days o i 193049, resulted to Southern Pacific's abffiry to meet the tre­mendous mliihuy o^rssssds during World War B * . . today.

AUSTIN, Oct. 16.—Possibilities for wide-scale manufacture of din ner ware and pottery utility items in Texas are excellent, ceramic engineers of the state ware told at a recent meteing held at the Uni versity of Texas.

According to merchandising ex perts, utility ware will be the com ing field for many years, and Texas has both the raw materials and tlje necessary fuel for successful cera mics manufacture.

Now in its infancy, the ceramic industry will begin a real growth within the next few years, when the University graduates the first scientifically-trained ceramic engineers from the new depart ment of ceramic engineering. In addition to the new degree course, plans are underway for new build ing and additional laboratory space at the University.

body to cook for. She was about to wire At, when he barges home a week ahead of time, and she almost erics fc?£fautode. ("Felt the same way myself," says AL)

From where I sit, those differ­ences of habit and opinion — whether they have to do with corn­cob pipes, a glass of beer, or play­ing the harmonica, seem mighty trivial when you/re separated. And they are, tool

A r m y W i l l Increase Officer Personnel by 25,000

The War Department has an­nounced that approximately 70,-000 applicants for Regular Army commissions under the first inte­gration program earlier this year are being notified they are under consideration for the additional vacancies existing under Congres­sional action authorizing an in­crease in the Regular Army Of­ficer Corps strength from 25,000 to 50,000.

It was also disclosed that on a date to be announced, additional ap­plications for commissions will be accepted. Those who qualify under a processing program parelleling closely that employed to select an initial increment of 5,813 officers late in June will be added to the consideration list and given equal opportunity on the basis of quali­fication with those already listed.

While machinery for accepting additional applications is not yet functioning, full details are ex-pected to be announced shortly and the program gotten under way probably by October 15.

It was pointed out that original applicants not among the initial 9,813 given Regular Army com­missions may assume they are on the consideration list unless they have been formally notified by the War Department to the contrary. Those who have been notified of rejection will not be eligible. Oth­ers will be permitted to restate their interest in being commis­sioned as a Regular Officer and to change their choice of branches, if they so desire, before the in­tegration of the 25,000 new Regu­lar Officer is begun, regardless of whether they are still on active duty or have reverted to civilian status.

Tentative plans for integration of these officers call for appoint­ments to be made in four incre­ments, in January. May. Septem­ber and December of 1947. It is anticipated that greater emphasis will be given to commissioning of­ficers in the ranks of Captain and Major than was given in the first integration.

F o r N a v y R e s e r v e NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16.—

More than 45,000 veterans in the eight-state Eighth Naval District were being asked today if they desire to return to sea for a train­ing cruisce during January, Feb­ruary, or March with the Naval Reserve.

The 14-day cruises, first post­war educational voyages for Or­ganized and Volunteer reserve or­ganizations, will possibly afford shore liberty in ports in Cuba, Mexico, Central America, and South America, Capt, Arthur A. Ageton, USN, district reserve di­rector, said.

Results of the survey will de­termine assignment of Navy train­ing ships to district ports, Capt. Ageton said. In order to give sev­eral choices of time for training cruises, similar surveys will be made quarterly, he announced.

Naval reservists accepted for the cruises will have transporta­tion paid to and from port cities and will receive full pay and al­lowances during active duty, the director said.

Before the war, the record month was March, 1941, when pro duction reach 38,913 units. The biggest weekly volume last month was recorded during the week ended September 28 when 6,366 automobiles were produced in five working days.

Curtice said the working force, largest of peacetime record, con­tinued to increase during Septem ber. New hirings last month brought total employment to 22, 038, of whom 19,520 are hourly rated personnel. An additional 2,-000 workers in skilled and un­skilled classifications is wanted, Curtice said.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 16.—Vet­erans of World War II bought ap­proximately $2,404,682 worth of surplus property through the San Antonio regional offices of the War Assets Administration dur-' ing the last 90 days, W. J . Walt-1

hill, regional director has an­nounced.

With actual sales consum­mated this represented an average-sale of $2HG worth of surplus item-t"> individual purchasers. Of this amount more than $1,244,085 of the purchases made were from items on the "set aside" lists pre­pared for exclusive sale to ex-ser­vice men and women.

Site sales, additional set aside items and a liberalized program of sales to veterans have proved a stimulant in veterans' purchases.

Broken down into monthly to­tals, sales approximated $70,964 durig July, $599,997 in August end $1,733,738 for September re­flecting a consistent and healthy increase in the acquisition of sur­plus by veteras.

C O L L E G E STATION, Oct. 16. Those cold winter nights are on

the way, and housewives will be glad to hear that home economists of the U . S. Department of Agri­culture have reported that there are plenty of wool blankets on store shelves.

To help homemakers who are buying blankets to get the most for their money, Mrs. Bernice Claytor, home management special­ist of the Texas A. and M . Col­lege Extension Service, has some information on what to look for in judging the worth of a blanket.

The label will tell the buyer how much wool is in the blanket. As a rule, the more wool the warmer the blanket, but it takes at least 25 per cent wool to make much dif­ference in warmth, flufifiness,

thick. Thick napping makes the blanket warmer. Poor blankets sometimes show thick in some places and thin in others when held up to the light. The blanket weave should also be studied to see that the yarns are smooth, even, regularly spaced and fairly close together.

Many blankets wear out early because they are too small for the beds they are used on, Mrs. Clay-tor points out. If too small, the sleeper will tug at it during the night and weaken the fabric. For a double bed, a blanket should be at least 72 by 84 inches; for single bed, 63 by 84 inches. a

buyer should hold it up and is-spect the nap to see that it is

We've put i n more than 190,000 tele­phones in Texas in the first nine months of this year—nearly twice as many as we connected in the first nine months of 1940.

WeVe handling a mil l ion znd a half more local calls a day than a year ago.

And 13 per cent more long distance calls. (Nearly twice as many as before the war.)

Putting in all those telephones and tak­ing care of al l those extra calls—re^ard-less of shortages of materials—is one of the biggest jobs the telephone company has ever done.

Best part is that service has remained good on most calls despite hcavier-than-ever volumes.

There are some delays but we're work­ing on them—just as we're working har:l

serve people waiting for telephones. Service w i l l be bet* rr than ever, for every­one, as soon as r f w equipment can be made and installed.

Cotton turned downward from its peak, but grains climbed higher and livestock, poultry, eggs and other farm products remained steady to stronger at most south­west markets last week, USDA's Production and Marketing Admin­istration reported today.

Small sheep and lamb supplies sold quickly at steady to stronger prices last week at most south­west markets. Medium and good fat iambs brought $15 to $16, Ft. Worth; common and medium wooled lambs $12.50 to $15.25, San Antonio; medium and good truck­ing $17 to $18.50, Denver and good and choice Iambs $18 to $19, Okla­homa City,

Mostly stockers and feeders showed up at southwest cattle mar­kets last week. Scant supplies of slaughter cattle held steady, but other classes tended weak. Com­mon and medium steers and yearl­ings brought $11.50 to $14.50, Houston; $13.50 to $16, San An­tonio and $12 to $17, Ft. Worth. Stockers and feeders steers rea­lized $14.50 to $16.75, Oklahoma City; $14 to $16, Wichita and $13 to $17.50 Denver.

Texas producers sold some fall wools, but demand at Boston slowed down considerably because buyers had bought ahead in anti­cipation of a rise in resale prices, now postponed until October 14. Buyers resisted Texas mohair at 61 cents a pound for adult hair, 71 cents for yearling and 81 cents for kid hair.

Southwest fruits and vegetables brought steady to higher prices last week at most shipping points and consumer markets. Sweet Spanish onions brought 65 to 85 cents a 50-lb. sack, depending on size, and washed dark Red Mc-Clure potatoes $1.85 to $1.90 a 100-lb. sack. Louisiana sweet po­tatoes were up 1Q to 20 cents a bushel over the previous week's close at $2.50 for U . S. No. 1 Porto Ricans. Even at this price most haulings were going into storage. New Mexico and Arkansas apples held steady.

A l l right, then, he r-eel-y isn't an eel at all, if you want to be technical. His name's Electrophorus (Gymnotus) Electricus—Jim for short. He's a South American cousin of the carp and catfish.

—There's a good reason why so few livestock were marketed dur­ing September, and why there's hardly any meat in 4 local markets now.

Roy Snyder, meat specialist of the Texas A . and M, College Ex­tension Service, explains that the current meat shortage is partly due to the large number of live­stock that was marketed during July and August, when price con­trol was out of effect. During those two months, the meat spec­ialist: says, much livestock was marketed that would have been on the market this fall.

For 1946 as a whole, United States Department of Agriculture meat men have estimated the meat supply to reach 148 pounds per person by the time the year is out Last year the supply was 138 pounds per person. Even though this year's meat supply may be about the same as the rec­ord supply in 1944, consumers will still be un ble to buy all the meat that they would like to buy at ceil­ing prices

Still another answer to meat shortage question lies in distribu­tion. Our meat distribution is now very uneven, making the shortage much worse in some areas than in others.
