This Space For Scile
perience in political nllairg and lie
may mulct; his fleece the paramount'
issue of the coming campaign.
Some of the most prominent i
sheep of the nation who are le. icrs '
of the ruling families v. ill meet at
the Ft. Worth Fat St )CiC Oil {
November li.'-'-iS and talk over their
recent political defeat and lay plans
for future campaigns. Kvery can-I
didate for olfiee, student of politi-
cal economy and voter us well, should ;
;:tl nd the Fat Stock Show and study ;
the issue which the sheep will pre-
sent.
The sheep provides food and cloth- j
ing for man and enjoys the distinc- j
tion of being the only animal that
renders a dual service. King Cot-
ton is a strong rival of wool but, not- j
withstanding the humiliating eornpe-|
1 tition of vegetable fibre, the produc- j
! tion of wool in the United States has !
increased more rapidly than that of jj
cotton during the past half century, j
The 11)10 federal census r«jx>rt|!
i shmvs 10,^iT,77U pounds of wool
produced in Texas; 280,-119,977 in
the United Statf-S and 2,(ii)3,?S2,000
in the world. We furnishs less than
one-half of one nor cent of the j
world's supply and 3.2 per cent of j
the United States production. Wool!
is produced in 207 cuuntios in Tex-;
as. The farm prico per pound of I
wool lapt season was 28 cents under
an eleven cent tarilf, which has since
been removed. The annual produc-
tion per capita in Texas is 2.6 pounds
and tho average consumption per
capita is 5.75 pounds. The world's
average consumption approximates
oue pound pur capita.
The report of the United States
Department of Agriculture shows we
hiiit tin January 1st, 2,073,000 sheep
valued at $(5,012,000. During the
past ten years our sheep herds have
doubled in number and value jier
head.
Tribute of Rcspect
Offered by the faculty of
Alto High School in honor of
James R. Richardson, trustee,
deceased.
Since the death angel has
visited the home: of our friend,
Mr. James R, Richardson, and
removed him from our midst;
land since he was a faithful
| member of the Board of the
Trustees for the Alto High
'School; therefore,
\Yc, the faculty of the Alto
I High School, feel that it is
our duty to express to the
I family of the deceased our
heartfelt sympathy and con-
dolence in their loss. We
w on Id impress upon them his
devotion to duty, his love of
the right, atid his nobleness
of soul, that they may strive
to walk in his footsteps and
cmul ite his virtues.
We commend the bereaved
