N«tM from tho
Eagle's Nest
by Redone Hatley
The Eagles downed Knox City
Greyhounds, 21-8, Friday night.
With Gary Whitehead back in
running shape
and the rest of
the team fired
up, they tacked
up a 14-0 lead
at the half. Both
tds came in the
;econd quarter.
L. Loyd made a
fantastic catch
„ , cn a pass from
Pat Maxwen to
open the scoring. Whitehead also
scored on a pass from Maxwell.
Fat kicked the points after.
In the third quarter, White-
head took advantage of good
blocking and ran the nine re-
maining yards for the final
talley. Maxwell again kicked
the extra point. Knox City
scored late in the game and ran
the extra points.
This week Holliday will play
Munday there, but will probably
be playing without end, Charles
Buller, as he suffered a leg
injury in last week’s game. Well,
back to the crutches Charles!
Holliday’s junior high team is
on the march. They stomped
Throckmorton 22-6 last Thursday
to take possession zone’s lead
with a 3-0 record in district play.
Coy Sanders threw two touch-
down passes and Mike King ran
20 yards with an interception
to wrap up the scoring.
Sanders first drilled King with
a 60 yard strike and later hit
Randy Tiger with a five yard
pass. This week’s game at Archer
City will wind up play in this
half of the district.
With football drawing to a
close, can basketball be far

Larry Murtry’s Latest Novel
Now On Sale To Public
Larry McMurtry’s third novel,
“The Last Picture Show,” goes
on sale this week. His former
works, “Horseman Pass By”,
which was written into the
movie, “ Hud”, and “Leaving
Cheyenne”, which presently is
being made into the movie,
in the front ranks of Texas
“Gid”, have placed McMurtry
novelists. Dial Press is the pub-
lisher for the “The Last Picture
Show”.
The novel is described by Leo-
nard Sanders in the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram as double-dipped
in realism.
“The Last Picture Show” is a
sort of pool-hall view of a small
Texas town—Thalia. The plot re-
volves around two high school
seniors, Sonny and Duane, who
ate making a valiant effort to
lose their innocence. Since the
Thalias offer a limited oppor-
tunity for such pursuits, the re-
sults are more pathetic than ro-
mantic.
“The content
book clobbered by early review-
ers, who found the subject mat-
ter beneath the author of “Hud”,
but the redeeming feature of
“The Last Picture Show” is its
deeper implications-its concern
not only with the loss of in-
nocence, but also with the loss
of certain ignorance of the rea-
lities of life.
The theme throughout is the
absence of a future in Thalia
for Sonny and Duane. They must
become knowledgeable of the
has gotten the j world outside Thalia to survive.
The changes in the Thalias
during the last 20 years are
nothing to those the Thalias have
wrought on Houston, Dallas and
Fort Worth.
The impact of “The Last Pic-
ture Show" lingers. McMurtry
still seems to be saying things
that need to be said.”

Dairying is an important part
of the Archer County Agricul-
tural economy. Income from
dairying in the county is $1,167-
839 per year. There are some
60 dairy producers located in
the Windthorst - Scotland area
whose main source of income is
derived from dairy cattle oper-
erations.
Records on milk production
are an important part of any
dairy business. Nine dairy opera-
tors are members of the Dairy
Herd Improvement Association
and follow a monthly testing
program. The figures they re-
ceive from their record keeping
are used to determine milk pro-
duction, butter fat and income
over feed costs.
Each month a report is issued
showing the production figures
as it applies to these nine oper-
ators who follow DHIA record
keeping. These figures should be
cf interest to all the dairy pro-
ducers in the county and we plan
to publish these figures each
month.

operators are in the following
order: name, number of cows,
number of dry cows, average
milk production, average butter
fat production and income over
feed costs.
