WHARTON TIGERS LOSE BI-DISTRICT TO LA GRANGE
( Burton Lee AndDan Wendt
Sell Steers At Stock Show
L
Matagorda County fine stock was
shown at the Tenth Annual Hous-
ton Fat Stock Show and Livestock
Exposition, which closed Sunday,
February 15, by Burton Leo of
Wadsworth who sold his boys’
Hereford steer, class 2, for 15H
cents per pound to Pauly Packing
Company, and Dan Wendt of Mark-
ham, who sold his boys' Hereford
steer, clas- 2, to Roy Chapman’s
Market, Hempstead, for 15V4 cents
per pound.
The show, in spite of tire short-
ages, war conditions and a week
of cold, wet weather, broke all
record's in its history. Attendance
was estimated at 245,000, nearly 10
per cent more than ever before.
Prices paid for champion animals
broke all records. The champion
capon, owned by Luther Nygren of
Manor, sold for $500, or more than
$50 per pound, four times the
previous world record. The champ-
ion steer, owned by Cnlvin I^ifeste
of Mason, sold for $2.27 per pound.
Capacity crowds packed nearly
every session of the sensational
rodeo produced by the cowboy
movie and radio star, Gene Autry,
who appeared twice with his horse
Champion at every performance.
New features were two scrambles,
one for 4-H Club boys and the other
for vocational agriculture students,
with boys haltering calves winning
them and promising to feed them
and enter them in the 1943 Houston
show.
Texas Farmers
Are Having
Stuff Repaired
The farmers of Texas, in general,
uro getting their equipment in
order for the production job ahead,
but in most areas of the state farm-
ers still need to order more repair
parts.
This was indicated by a survey
just completed by the Texas U. S.
D. A. War Board in which county
boards were asked to determine the
status of the farm machinery re-
pair program throughout the state.
The survey indicates that farm-
ers and dealers already have order-
ed a great many more parts than
by the same date last year, B. F.
Vance, state board chairman, de-
clared. County board estimates of
the percentage increae in number
of parts oi-dered ran ns high as 300
percent, although most counties re-
ported increases ranging from 25
percent to 75 percent.

Texas Hens Are
Doing Their Part,
War Board Says
Texas hens are doing their part
in the all-out war effort, judging
from the announcement of the State
U. S. D. A. War Board today that
over 1,990,000 pounds of dried eggs
at prices between $1.06 and $1.10
per pound, were purchased from
ing January by the Surplus Market-
ing aJnuary by the Surplus Market-
ing Administration, U. S. D. A., for
lend-lease shipment and other pur-
poses.
Since about three dozen medium-
sized eggs are required to make one
pound of dried eggs, purchases last
month represent around 5,970,000
dozen shell eggs, it was pointed
out.
“Dried eggs are especially im-
portant these days because they
take up only a small part of the
shipping and storage space fresh
eggs would require and they do not
need refrigeration,” Emmett A.
McBryde, Austin, SMA Assistant
District Supervisor and member of
the Texas U. S. D. A. War Board,
said.
Brahma Scribe
Says Bay City
Points Luck
The Rosenberg Brahmas closed
out their District 22-A basketball
season recently with victories over
Boling and Bay City. The Brahmas
clicked on all five to down the Bull-
dogs, 39 to 27, ami took Bay City’s
measure, 32 to 23.
A Rosenberg scribe said:
"The Black Cats showed tremen-
dous hustle but the tight defense
and supperior offense was the de-
ciding factor. Most of the Cats’
points came on prodigious long
shots which could have been label-
ed as lucky.”

Japan’s invasion of romantic Bali, once the island of flowers and
laughter, reminds the writer of the time we chatted with the late
Richard Halliburton, dashing world traveler and author.
“How did you like that girl in Bali?” we asked, referring to a
particular incident in one of his books.
“Which one?” he countered.

Recently Jim Campbell, now rec-
■ention director at Galveston, and
the writer talked to Brace Barnes,
professional tennis star.
Barnes stated then that he was
going to quit playing tennis and
get in bu-iness. He said he knew it
was futile for a washed-up player
to try to keep on playing.
But Barnes is still plnying, ac-
cording to reports from winter pro
tourneys in Florida. And we be-
lieve as he must believe: Bruce
Barnes is not through as a top-
flight tennis competitor!

Reading played in the backfield
for the Eagles during the early

Bay City one of its worst lacings
in history in 1932.
Later Reading played fresh-
