McEaehern has a line of trap*

other day went out to see what he
had taught. He took along his rifle,

did he retail that it was loaded only
with dut kshot—nine to a shell, which
v.cjld not more than tickle a bear.
When h< cumt in sight of the first

to finish the animal, but another bear '
larger than the one In the trap

It looked like sure death. McEaehern
thought of his long hunting knife and
he fished it out, opening the blade
with his teeth. They were now half
down the slope. Raising the knife.
McEaehern plunged it to the hilt In
the bear’s neck. A fierce snarl, a
gushing of blood and a slight slack-

stab and another, and the mad race
was over.
Several hours later the trapper
stumbled into camp with the bear's
skin, and a part of the carcass.
Then he ate two pounds of the bear
steak, smoked his pipe and told the
story.—Brady Standard.

ALL TIME HIGH EMPLOYMENT
RECORD SET IN FEBRUARY
Detroit, .Mich.. Feb. 27.—A new all-
time high in employment was achiev-
ed by the Chevrolet Motor Company
for the week ending February 10,
when direct company payrolls totaled
56,545 people, M. E. Coyle, general
nu.nagt r, announced here today.
The high mark prior to this year
was 52.847 men and women employed
in June, 1929, while last year at this
time factory payrolls uumbered only
,32,079 people, Mr. Coyle stated.
The present record force also set
a new high daily output figure for the
present year’s program when they
completed the assembly of 3.770 new
1934 cars and trucks on Friday. Feb-
ruary 16. Mr. Coyle stated. Through
the first fifteen days of the month the
company completed the assembly of
330545 new units which have already
been shipped to dealers. This is with-
in 12,000 units of production for the
full month of February last year, Mr.
Coyle stated
Plants are now headed toward ea
parity, with dealers making delivery
of new- 1934 models to consumers, and
the rate at which orders are being re-
ceived Indicates capacity operations
for some months to come, the Chevro-
let head, declared.
Detroit shows the largest gain on
the company's employment map. The
payroll here includes the central of-
fice staff, and the workers at the Chev-
rolet plant centering at St. Aubin, Eu-
clid and Holbrook avenues, where the
new "knee-action" wheel sets are be-
ing built
ates the largest grey Iron foundry in
the world, two daily shifts consisting
of 4.660 men are pouring tastings for
the new models, as against 3,443 in
February of 1933.
Toledo, where transmissions are
manufaetured. bad 2,571 men at work,
within one man of the 1929 high.
These locations comprise mainly
the manufacturing operations of tile
company, and account for 41,500 men
on the payrolls. The remaining 15,000
employes are at work at assembly op-
erations in cities out of this area, and
a the commercial body plant at In-
dianapolis ant! the export packing
plant at Bloomfield, N. J. Last year
these outside plants payrolls account-
ed for only 7,000 men.
Mr. Coyle expressed confidence that
the present rate at which orders are
being received would enable the com-
pany to maintain its payroll: at a
peak for a good share of the first half
of the year.

he does, 1 would like to hear from him
about it, as 1 have been so kind as
to back up some of the statements he
has made about the olden times that
sounded unreasonable to the present,
generation. People who were away
from home, or out in the woods, came
near freezing todeath before they
could gain shelter of their houses. If

Falls was frozen over -• thick that

least this was the report at that time,
and no one then doubted the stae-
ment There were no thermometers
then to show how cold It really was
My opinion is that it was many de-
grees below zero. This part of Tex-
as had a terrific cold spell in Febru-
ary, 1899. and two below zero spells
in 1929-1930, but they were balmy

Last week people were seen in
bathing here in the Colorado and al-
so several were fishing and catching
good strings of fish. Today, as we
write this, the weather barometer is
j standing just a little above freezing,
j If you can beat that, lets hear from
you.—Marble Fallas Messenger.
I can beat it, John, but will go hack
many years, and tell about what was
j probably the most drastic change In
weather that ever occurred in Texas.
I think it was in December, 19S7, but
am not positive as to either the year
/ or month. 1 know that it was on Sat-
urday afternoon, and that there had
been oC-vora! day8 of very warm wea-
ther. and that the day this ri.• mutable
norther came was so warm that ev-
ery one had shedded his coa' I was
a considerable chunk of a li d at the
time and lived wnfi my pi ents in
what was then called the "Jennings
Creek Community," a few m < s west
of Bertram. A neighbor hr 1 called
shortly after noon and persu ded me
to join hint in a cam*- of - aeckers.
j We both had our sleev* s rollt 1 up and
were so absorbed in the g.‘*ne that
we refused the behest of otl *-r mem-
bers of the family to step out in the
hall which was open at both • nd*. run-
ning north and south, and \ :ew the
peculiar cloud that was ap, oaching
front the north. However, when the
wind struck the house with chill-
ing blast we both rushed o of the
room, anti it was freezing it hit.
It came in the form of a rt' ng. blu-
ish mist or sb-et which the ap-
such association it is necessary to en-
force the individual liability of the
stockholders therefor to the extent
hereinafter mentioned, as prescribed
by Sections 5151 and 5234 of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States,
Section 1c 156, Act of June 30, 1876,
and Section 23, Act approved Decem-
ber 23, 1913, known as Federal Re-
serve Act.
Now, therefore, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by law, I do
hereby make an assessment and rep-
uisltion upon the shareholders of the
said "CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK
OF LLANO" for Seventy-Five Thous-
and ($75,000.00) Dollars, to be haid
by them on or before the eighth day
of March, 1934, and I hereby make de-
mand upon each and every one of
them for the par value of each and
ever., share of the o&ptta!; •otssfc.-c;.-
said association held or owned by
them, respectively, at the time of its
failure; and I hereby direct J. War-
ren Lillard, the Receiver heretofore
appointed, to take all necessary pro-
ceedings, by suit or otherwise, to en-
force to that extent the said individ-
ual liability of the said shareholders.
