LIVESTOCK
By TED GOULDY
FORT WORTH, Texas.—Football
fans are familiar with the exploits
of Slingm’ Sammy Baugh who star-
red at TCU and later with the pro-
fessional Washington Redskins.
This week at Fort Worth he
scored again, and probably got a
bigger thrill than he did from
many of his pigskin heroes. Sam-
my Baugh took the feeder calf!
honors with the top load Monday, j
Baugh ranches near Rotan in j
Fisher County. He has built a fine'
herd of Herefords with part of his |
football earnings. At Fort Worth
Monday, he sold a string of calves
that included 45 head of steer
calves at 524 pounds and $19 per |
hundred, best price in a couplet____________ „ ¥%™ATr.
of weeks. The heifers off them MRS. ROBERT RAY MCDONALD

sold at $14.
As September faded and the cal-
endar rolled around toward Oc-
tober, the calf market staged a
brisk rally from last week’s ex-
treme lows. Most sales were fully
50 cents to $100 higher than at
the close of last week, and some
spots were $1.00 to $2.00 up.
Lighter receipts all around the
market circle, plus improved ship-
per and order buyer demand ac-
counted for the better calf market.
All sections of the cattle market
were fully steady to stronger, ex-
cept bulls which eased 25 cents to
50 cents per hundred.
Highly finished cattle were
scarce as hen’s teeth at Fort
Worth Monday, except for scatter-
ing boys club calves, a few of
these sold at $25 to $26. Other
good to choice fed steers and year-
lings sold for $17 to $22. Most
grassers sold from $10 to $15.50
with cutter grade yearlings from
$7 to $9.
Good and choice stoeker steer
calves sold from $12 to $17, a few
higher and the top load at $19.
Stocker steers and yearlings sold
from $9 to $15.50, while replace-
ment cows sold from $8 to $12.
Strong shipper demand put a
50 cent advance on hogs at Fort
Worth Monday, and top hogs sold
mostly at $26. Sows were strong
to 50 cents higher at $21 to $23.50.
Fall movement of sheep and
lambs contiued to expand here as
7,700 were reported at Fort Worth’s
yards on Monday. Slaughter lambs
were strong to 50 cents higher.
Fat yearlings were strong. Old
ewes lost around 25 cents per
hundred. Feeds were very scarce
and steady.
Good and choice fat lambs drew
$16 to $17, and cull, common and
medium kinds sold from $10 to
$15. Stocker and feeder lambs
drew $6 to $13. Old ewes drew $5
to $6.50, some fresh shorn hard
culls down to $4. Old wethers drew
$6 to $7 Solid mouthed ewes sold
for $7 to $8. Slaughter yearlings
cashed at $10 to $12.
A rush of cattle and calves to
market on the heels of the first
killing frost has market men wor-
ried. they are advising cattle men
to ship, or plan shipments, so as
to get in ahead of this forced rush
after a general frost hits. Exces-
sive numbers could mean a bad
break in prices and many produc-
ers will not be able to postpone
shipping after a frost for long.

INTERESTING LESSON
GIVEN AT WSCS MEET
Eddie Trigg spent Wednesday
and Thursday of last week in Ama-
rillo at an insurance sales meet-
ing.
A study entitled, "That the
World May Know,” was presented
at Monday’s meeting of the WSCS
with Mss. G. B. Purcell as leader.
The session was opened by Mrs.
T. L. Hilton who gave the devotion-
al from Jeremiah 31-3 and John
3-16, the theme being “God’s
Love.” Mrs. G. B. Purcell was ac
companist for a duet, “Why Should
He Love Me So,” which was sung
by Mrs. T R. Horine and Mrs. T.
L Hilton.
Mrs. Zibba Matthews, secretary
of missionary education in the
local unit, introduced Mrs. Purcell
who conducted the session.
The topic for study was “A Dis-
illusioned World.”
The first speaker was Mrs. Trav-
is Heard. A panel discussion follow-
ed with delegates from other coun-
tries discussing the world’s prob-
lems. Mrs. Elden Cole was first,
representing France; Mrs. D. M.
Harris, the Netherlands; Mrs.
James Wilhoit, Germany, and Ja-
pan was represented by Mrs. R. O.
Andrews, and Burma by Mrs.
James Roberts. Mrs. Day Cameron
ended the panel discussion repre-
senting Iran. '
A playlet, with the theme center-
ing on the United Nations, was
very capably carried out by the
following characters: Mmes. C. C.
Wooster, Don Ikard, J. M. Harris
and D. Wilson.
The closing prayer was given by
the leader.
During the 1952-53 school year,
the Archer City post office sold
200 United States Savings Stamps
of the 10 cent and 25 cent denomi-
nations, it was announced yester-
day by Postmaster Z. T. Burkett.
“The 10 cent and 25 cent Sav-
ings Stamps are the most popular
units used in the School Savings
programs of our community,” Mr.
Burkett stated. “This large volume
of sales indicates the constantly in-
creasing participation of our
youngsters in this worthwhile
thrift program.
“The Treasury Department has
announced that it hopes by De-
cember 31, 1953, to add at least
1.000. 000 more students to the 5,-
000,000 now in schools having the
School Savings Plan. Anticipating
the increased enrollment, which
will result in Archer City’s active
thrift program, the post office has
received supplies of both stamps
and albums during the summer
and are fully prepared to continue
serving all our schools for their
weekly stamp days.”
A recent report from the U. S.
Savings Bonds Division in Wash-
ington shows that overall stamp
sales the past school year amount-
ed to $14,931,000, an increase of
$900,000 over the previous year,
Mr. Burkett pointed out. The na-
tional total of individual Savings
Stamps sales of the 10 cent and 25
cent denominations, the most pop-
ular with school savers, was 78,-
168.000. which represented an in-
crease of 6,000.000 over the num-
ber of individual stamps sold the
preceding school year. It is ex-
pected that an even greater vol-
ume of stamps will be handled by
the post offices of the nation dur-
ing the current school years as a
result of growing participation in
School Savings.

“Well, that’s fine,” said Coop,
“it makes me very happy. It makes
me very, very happy. I wouldn’t

“I guess the wife and kids will
be pretty proud,” said Quinn. “And
