I like Savings Bonds for the same reasons I like farming—they're both a stake in our country.
Sure, the money I put into Savings Bonds grows fast, and it’s always nice to know it’s there
when I need it. But there’s something else. I figure that buying Bonds is one way I can help
America stay strong and free ... to make sure my children enjoy this great country as much

feedlots are growing as fast as
possible. An estimate of a mill-
ion head of cattle on feed with-
in a 200 mile radius of Amar-
illo was given.
It’s good the feeders are pros-
pering but the second part of
the statement was to urge pro-
duction cut. This statement was
not made for the cattle feeders.
They will continue to grow and
place more cattle on feed but
the urged cut was in cow num-
bers. Mr. Paul Engler, presi-
dent of the Hereford Feed
Yards and a member of a spec-
ial committee of the American
National Cattlemen’s Associa-
tion, made the following recom-
mendations to cattle produc-
ers. First, that the cow-calf op-
erators not expand their opera-
tion for the next three years.
All cows sold must go to the
packer. Second, that there be an
effort to produce lighter stocker
cattle. Third, that the feeders
sell at the earliest possible time.
In aonther incident, a man
killed his 12-year-old grandson
after shooting into brush at a
running deer.
In Houston a nine-year-old
boy was killed While playing in
a vacant lot. It is theorized that
someone was hunting rabbits
within the city limits and shot
the boy.
A 16-year-old boy had much
of his head blown off by his 17-
year-old companion. The shoot-
er was resting his rifle on the
top of his car while shooting at
a deer from a public roadway,
and the victim crossed the line
of fire.

When the cattle reach a mar-
ketable grade sell instead of
holding for a little up-swing in
the market, thus getting their
cattle heavier and making for
more pounds of meat to hit the
market.
These recommendations came
from a study by the American
National Cattleman’s Associat-
ion on the nations beef market-
ing system and the current sup-
ply of beef cattle. The first two
of these recommendations are
good for the feeders but I’m not
too sure about the producers
other than feeders. About two-
thirds of the $7 million income
to this county is from the cattle
industry, most of which are
producing stocker and feeder
cattle. Perhaps the cow and
calf operator should be looking

toes and the end of the shoe so
toes can lie flat.
The back of the shoe should
be snug and hold the heel of the
foot firmly without slipping,
even when the foot is bent.. The
shoe should hug the foot but
not cut into it.
Much of the actual construc-
tion of shoes is hidden, making
it difficult to judge quality. The
lining is visible and can be jud-
ged for quality. It should be
smooth and free from wrinkles.
The seam edges should be
smooth and the stitching should

The Federal Trade Commiss-
ion now requires that all shoes
be labeled to indicate whether
materials used are man-made
or natural. The information
may be on the shoe itself or on
a label pasted to some part of
the shoe. The label is not neces-
sarily a guide to quality, be-
cause grades of materials used
do not have to. be identified.

Besides getting profession-
al advice from their physician
and other reliable persons, par-

The “Your Baby” course is

six lessons are feeding, bath-

“Cattleman Prosper, Urge
v Production Cut” was the head-
lines in the Amarillo paper dur-
ing the past week. This article
was a result of the recent Tex-
as Cattle Feeders annual meet-
ing held at Amarillo. I’m not
sure how the average citizen
will take this headline, but with
the price of meat as high as it
is, the average citizen will
think hte cattleman is the rea-
son. The cattle producer in Lip-
scomb County know this certa-
inly is not true. The first part
of this headline refers to the
cattle feeding industry. The

port in an effort to cut down on
the rate of hunting accidents.
Compilation of the reports at
year-end indicated 49 of the 95
hunting mishaps involved per-
sons 18-year-old and under. Of
the 22 fatalities, 14 involved
persons 18-years-old and under.
Forty-one of the total number
of accidents involved shotguns,
37 involved rifles, 15 involved
pistols, and two involved pellet

condition of shoes in the ward-

considered, wardrobe plan and
colors and amount of money av-
ailable for shoe purchases must
be considered.
A shoe is only as good as its
fit. Both feet should be meas-
ured each time shoes are pur-
chased. To insure proper fit,
shoes should always be selected
with the assistance of a trained
sales person.

Mauermann says that care-
lessness and lack of common
sense caused all the accidents.
A 14-year-old boy was killed
by his playmate when they took
a shotgun without their par-
ents’ permission. The report
cited extreme carelessness as
the cause of the accident.
A 13-year-old tboy shot his
14-year-old brother as he was
shooting at a rabbit. The victim
moved into the line of fire. 1
Another accident involved -
the shooting of a skin diver by
a duck hunter who thought he
was shooting at an alligator.
A 64-year(old Kingsland man-
was killed by another man who
mistook him for a deer. The
distance between the two men
at the time of the shooting was
37 yards, and the victim was
wearing a red hat and light
colored pants.

Austin—Texas hunting acci-
dents showed an increase of
17.3 per cent with 95 in 1967
compared with 81 in 1966, ac-
cording to Robert G. Mauer-
mann, deputy director of the
Texas Parks and Wildlife De-
partment.
Even with the overall in-
crease in hunting accidents,
fatalities showed a decrease of
six for a total of 22 in 1967. By
the same token, the non-fatal
accidents increased from 53 in
1966 to 73 in 1967.
