Texas will receive $<>,770,221 in
Federal road appropriations for
11)33. The funds will not be available
until 1033, but the apportionment has
been announced early in order that
road construction plans may be ad-
vanced. The conditions are the same
as heretofore—the amount, must be
spent on highways designated as
must, be matched
needless to say-
scrap. The cost, including grinding,
was $1.15 a hundred pounds, and the
mash was fed with equal parts of
whole wheat. The result was that
daily production jumped at once from
100 to 101 eggs. Perhaps with proper
culling the percentage of increase
would have liven better. Even as it
was. the extra egg production paid
the entire feed bill of the flock and
about 17 cents a day more. A little
sound advice often determines wheth-
er there will be a loss or profit in a
business.

AMOK G. CARTER, President
LET THE RECORD TAKE YCHJR ORDER
News suggests that Dallas and Tar-
rant counties might profit by having
one government with the county seat
at Arlington. Many counties have
centrally located county sites with
fine court houses in well established
towns and would strongly oppose ef-
forts at consolidation with any other
county or counties. The movement to
combine county and city governments
under one management and thus save
the expense of dual government cov-
ering the same territory appears to
growing in popular favor. Ex-
pense# of government have increased
out of all proportion to benefits re-
eeived.
A Gray County poultry owner
found that his flock was not paying
any profit. He has 325 hens, so he
consulted the county poultry demon-
strator, who advised a mash, made at
home, of 40 per cent ground wheat,
80 per cent ground barley, 10 per
cent ground oata and 20 per cent meel
Friday. On Monday, Ondi was tried
and convicted. At 4 p. m. he was
sentenced; at 6 p. m. he was hanged.
It took the wireless service of the
New York Times to establish all this,
due to the fact that the robbery,
trial and execution all took place in
Hungary, where crime is considered
a serious matter. In Hungary per-
sons who steal $10,000 do not get
their pictures in the papers, They
get their names carved on wooden
headboards in the cemetery.
If Alexander Ondi had stayed in
Texas, or, safer still, had removed to
the larger Chicago, after the village
of that name disappeared in Texas
from off the list of recognized towns,
he might have robbed banks at his
leisure. It is a little more dangerous
in Texas than formerly. But the 4
p. m.-to-6 p. m. routine of Hungary
has an efficiency about it that Texas
has never attained.
In France, the sale of tobacco is a

BRIDGE, CLUB
The members of the Brnige Club
were guests of Mrs. Dury Helm at a J
Hallowe’en party on October the 23rd. i
The house was very suggestive of |
the spirit of the occasion with its j
decorations of witches, hobgoblins,!
pumpkins and jaek-o-lantyrns. The j
tables were covered with orange .
cloths decorated with black cats, j
witches and other decorations char- J
aeteristie of the season.
After five games of bridge, refresh- ■
merits of Hallowe’en salad, pumpkin
pie and coffee were served.
Mrs. Miller was recipient of high J
club prize; Mrs. Standefer second, j
