A shortage of hay and grain as
caused the animals in a Lax> An-
geles zoo to go hungry What about
the cattle and sheep t at will
starve due to the feed shortage?
The U. S. is trying to help feed
the world, but it will be a problem
when we have a grain and meat
shortage right here at home.
• • •
And speaking of a feed short-
age in this state, a feed dealer
In a near-by town was asked by a
ranchman to get him some 43
percent protein cottonseed cuke,
and he would pay a premium. The
dealer did get the feed and never
made a cent on the deal, but the
OP A assessed a fine There are
items that are not really neces-
sary as feed now being sold on
the black market and the sellers
are not molested by the OPA. When
cattle and sheep are starving, the
ranchmen cannot be blamed for
getting feed above celling.
• • m
Evidenpe of the gram shortage
Is the fact that cane seed sells
for $5 50 a hundred, more than
the price of com—If you could
get It.
• • •
One reason of the grain and
food shortage Is the fact that we
are sending millions of tons of
both to Germany and other na-
tions and the effects of the strikes
In the farm Implement factories,
steel and coal strikes, etc
A • •
Even baseball players In a tail-
end club in the big leagues have
started striking The best players
Playground equipment, purchas-
ed by the Big Lake Grade Parent-
Teacher Association for the ele-
mentary school here, has arrived.
It has been announced by Mrs T.
H. Ray, one of the committeemen
Volunteers to help Install the
equipment are wanted Anyone who
wishes to donate their services are
asked u> see Mrs Ray or Ray-
mond Summers, another member
of the committee
The equipment consists of swings,
slides and bicycyle racks. In a
meeting last spring the PTA or-
ganization voted to beautify the
school grounds.
CT'B SCOUTS TO MEET EAC H
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
John Farley, Cubmaster of the
local Cub Scouts, announced that
the regular meeting day each week
will be on Wednesday afternoons
at four o’clock at the courthouse.
Instead of on Monday afternoons
Four of the Cubs have learned
to swim, and Farley Is teaching all
others to swim in the Texon swim-
ming pool.

James Turner, grturned home
' ist week after serving several
years in the army. He was sta-1
tioned In Europe for more than a
year This last week-end he visited
with his brother. Stanley, a stu-
dent at Sul Ross James Is assist-
ing his father Price Turner. In
the ranching business
were against the strikes, and the
trouble was that the second-rate
players wanted as much as the
star performers. There is getting
to be a racket in a lot of things
now
• • •
Failing to curb labor racketeers
has been one of the main reas-
ons why our nation is In Its pres-
ent sorry condition It seems that
most of the crimnals like A1 Ca-
pone directed have entered black
markets and are big shots In some
of the labor unions
• • •
These same racketeers forbid
any willing worker to go back to
work when when a strike has been
called.

guarunty of loan by the veterans
Administration?

tle research, title guaranty, trans-
fer fees. etc., may be charged a-
galnst the veteran.
