Improving slowly
Naples is slowly nibbling away at its old
buildings and before too long the town will
look better.
A city wide drive to fix up all at one time
would have been a more graphic picture of
improvement but the slow but steady work
now being done by landlords will be just as
permanent.
The bank soon will have a modern new
appearance inside and out.
The barber shop moved inio a building
in better repair.
A larger dining room is being built in the
City Cafe.

Another building in the east end of town
is being reworked and its appearance im-
proved.
There probably is other work going on.
The finished jobs won't make Naples a
completely modern looking town but it will
help. Many of the buildings had been neglect-
ed too long.
The improvements now going on may in-
terest others in face-lifting their own property.
But the present slow rate of improvement
is bettei than no improvement at all. It will
add up to a nicer town for all of us.

But Keep Out Of My Back Yard!"
SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Rfssian discover that
people will work a Jot
better if they get money
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom believes he
has found out something new
about Russia, his letter this
week indicates.)
Dear editar:
When it comes to Russia, I
don't know any more about it
than the foreign policy ex-
perts in Washington, but I
was reading an article in a
neswpaper last night that has
me stumped.
According to it, the Com-
munist bosses in Russia have
discovered that they get more
production from individual
workers when they give them
a pay boost for extra work or
for taking on more responsi-
bilities.
"It is now maintained here
that more and more problems
can be settled with offers of
cash rewards," Premier Krush-
chev announced.
This bowled me over, or
would have if I hadn't been
stretched out on a couch when
I read it.
You mean to tell me the
Russian people are after all
human? You mean to say they
like money the same as us
capitalistic Americans?
Up to now, I had been led
to believe that the Russians
worked strictly for the satis-
faction of seeing a five-year
plan completed, and as soon
as they got one finished they
were miserable until their boss
announced another one. As I
understand it, a Russian wasn't
interested in getting his hands
on any money of his own, all
he wanted was a place to
work, a picture of his dictatoi
hanging on the shop wall, and
a pallet to sleep on at night,
where he could dream happily
about how much bigger their
satellite was than ours.
But if the Communists are
finding out money talks in
Russia like it does around
here, this opens up a brand
new field of speculation. You
start letting people have mon-
ey and the first thing you
know the women will be going
to beauty shops and swapping
possip. families will be de-
manding bath tubs and hot
water, boys will start playing
football, girls will start get-
ting style-conscious, men w:ll
start buying fishing tackle,
and before long somebody
will turn up in the neighbor-
hood with an automobile or a
ttula hoop and then the dam
has busted.
If the Communists ever let
the people get a taste of mon-
ey and the advantages of get-
ting ahead, the game is up.
Scientific production is fine,
but living is more fun.
And to tell you the truth,
despite how hard the Russian
farmers worked the state land
I've always suspected most of
the Russian farmers would
swap all the satellites Russia
ever will launch for one piece
of land they could call their
own.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

By R. J. Dean
The success ot a beef cattle
producer may well be deter-
mined by the success of his
breeding program.
The practice of mating out-
standing bulls with outstand-
ing cows, used by early breed-
ers to establish our present
beef breeds, is still the best
method of improving beef
cattle.
Use of production informa-
tion, such as regularity of
calving, weaning weight, gain-
ing ability, conformation, fin-
ish and carcass information,
makes it possible for a breed-
er to select animals that are
'1) outstanding producers, (2)
will develop into outstanding
producers or (3) select mat-
ings that should result in ani-
mals capable of outstanding
production.
The Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service has released
two bulletins that can be very
helpful to anyone desiring in-
formation and advice on de-
veloping an aggressive breed-
ing program.
These publications discuss
selection of cows, selection of
bulls, evaluation of calves and
yearlings and other related
topics. Copies are available at
the county agent's office.
Cattlemen are advised to
check their cattle closely for
screw worms because these
insects have been noted in all
parts of the county. The dam-
age of screw worms is the
highest since 1956 when some
calves were killed by them.

We feel like a girl
with two dates at the door
You see, we hove a few 1958 Chevrolets on hand,
waiting for a good home. To complicate matters, the
'59 models will soon be moving in. We hate to turn
out our faithful '58's, but we mustn't let sentiment
overcome business.
How would you like a chance to help us out of our
predicament? Of course, we expect to do you a good
turn, too. We'll bring you and your brand-new '58
Chevrolet together at the lowest possible price. That
way, everybody wins: you get a spanking-new car at
a really good deal, we make room for the '59's, and
our '58 Chevies find a happy home.
Okay?
