For the first time since I can
remember, the ranchers of mlost of
Westj Texas don’t have anything to
complain about.
Oh, they can cuss Hitler, and pro-
test that the fiscal policies of the
government are all wrong, and so
forth, but I’m talking about the
kind of complaints .that come close
to home—range conditions and
cattle prices.
Practically all of West Texas has
been drenched numerous times this
summer when it counted—during
the grass growing season.
And prices started high and have
edged higher. One local cattleman
who has extra fine stock sold a car-
load of calves recently for 12 cents,
and they weren’t this best calves,
either. I was told, and he had to
throw in some heifers to make the
carload.
Another Kermit man refused to
sell some cows with young calves
for $115 — he wanted $125. A few
years ago he would have been lucky
to get $50.

ANNOUNCEMENT:-
We have recently installed a Bear Wheel Alignment Machine,
and a Bear Dy-Namic Wheel Balancer by H. C. Weissinger
icho has had several years' experience in this field.
An unbalanced or misaligned condition in your car
wheels can cost you many miles of driving pleasure, besides,
resulting in excessive and expensive tire wear, worn parts &
wasteful oil and gas consumption.
NOW, for the first time in Kermit, you can make sure
that your wheels are perfectly aligned and balanced. Why
not let us check your wheels on these marvelous new Bear
machines so you can for yourself without cost whether your
wheels need corrections.
NO GUESSWORK — YOU CAN
SEE FOR YOURSELF!

I’ve been wondering about the

not fussed at I don’t know how to

was eased by H. F. Wood. To-wit:
“Dear Henry:
“There are limits, definitely and
undisputably, beyond which a citi-
zen of the United States cannot be
insulted without the aftermath of
an embroglic or something else re-
sembling a blitzkreig that has voci-
ferously back-fired.
“The idea of your picking the
prosperous little city of Ralls up
right smack out of the heart of
the south plains and transporting it
via a newspaper columnist’s buggy-
ride, to the foreign, desolate and
windswept stretches of the Pan-
handle, is just about equivalent to
transplanting New Boston, Texas,

MENTONE DEAD END
“If we go to Mentone we still
aren’t anywhere,” Walton said. “It
would be a dead end.”
Killmer admitted
badly situated from
building viewpoint.
At this point Crosby arose to get
off his chest his answer to the
accusation he had selfish interests
in seeking a road to Mentone.
“I’d be better off if I gave away
the gas company over there today,”
he said. There are only 30 people
buying gas. I was going to close
up the system last year, and they
gave me a dollar apiece a month
extra to keep it going. I’m paying
50 cents a thousand for the gas I
distribute.
“I don’t think Mentone is ever
going to amount to anything any-
,way. It just hasn’t got it.
“I could tear up my system and
sell it for junk and be ahead. And
after this winter I may do it. But
I can’t do it now and leave those
people over there without fuel for
the winter. But I’ll give them ser-
vice this winter, and then I’ll tear
it up.”
Walton said, “Fred, if you used
half the energy trying to get the
road to the north that you did the
one to Mentone, we’d have it built
by now.”
Crosby denied it, and said the
government had leased 17 sections
from Mrs. Anderson, and other sec-
tions from other property-owners
in central Loving County, and “You
won’t get a direct route through
there and you can be sure of it if
it’s a bombing practice ground.”
The site leased for the bombing
ground he said lies squarely athwart
the northerly of the proposed cut-
off routes.
Estill offered for view aerial maps
of sections in south Texas, and said
the county could find out readily
enough the proper route west if it
could get similar maps from Signal
Peak to Kermit.
The Cargill company of San An-
tonio, which has a plane in El Paso,
had offered to make aerial maps of
the entire route, covering three
miles wide, for $3 a mile, Estil said.
His proposal was not acted on, how-
ever.

son Carl attended the Jal - Wink

Workers from the First Baptist,
Community and Assembly of God
Churchs are to meet at the First
Baptist Church at 2 p .m. Sunday
for instructions in taking a reli-
gious census of Kermit. Mrs. G.
S. Hopkins, State Sunday School!
worker who is to here next week
with the First Baptist Church, is
to give instructions to the census
takers.
District captains are being select-
ed and each will be given a certain
section of the city to cover. With
the co-operation that seems evi-
dent, a short time will be necessary
to complete the census report.
Each church in the community it
to share in the benefits of the
census.
