believed to be the highest
price paid in the United States
this year for a single sheep
was set here when Lloyd Li-
gon, Pecos county breeder,
paid $300 for a yearling buck.
Ligon bought the registered

The buck was bought from the
flocks of Day and White,
breeders with ranches at Fort

said farewell to his Warm! _ , ■
Funeral services for Sam J.
Springs neighbors today with
the ominous assurance, “I’ll
be back in the fall if we don’t
have a war.”
The chief executive, setting
oui for Washington after a 10-
day stay af his "other home,”
made his observation as he
stood on the rear platform of
his private car. Below him
were several hundred persons,
many of them infantile paraly-
sis patients of the Warm
Springs foundation.
The President, frankly con-
cerned over threats of another
world conflict, hastened back
to Washington where tomor-
row he will examine in detail
the latest developments in the
explosive international situ-
ation with Secretary of State
Cordell Hull.
Before he said goodbye, the
President attended Easter
services in the little white
brick chapel on the foundation
grounds where he heard an
Easter plea for world peace by
the Rev. Woodfin G. Harry of
the Warm Springs Presbyter-
ian church.
Newspapermen surrounded
the President’s car when he
came out of the church but he
explained that the latest de-
tails of the European crisis
were unknown to him, since he
had not talked with Washing-
ton or with any of the Ameri-
can ambassadors abroad.
When he reaches Washing-
ton it is expected that he will
confer also with legislative
leaders on the domestic pro-
gram, which includes propo-
sals for new neutrality legisla-
tion to meet the situation
created by the swift turn of
events across the sea.

afternoon at 3 o’clock at Cale-

MARINES NRE PRQ’ARING
TO AGGEPT NUMBER OF
YOUNG MENINTO SERVICE
Postmaster J. J. Compton of
Timpson, announces that in-
formation has been received
from the Dallas office of the
United States Marine Corps
that the Marines are making
preparation to accept a con-
siderable number of young
men into their service during
the coming summer months.
During the past months the
limited quota of men. accepted
in the Corps has kept many
from realizing their ambition'
to serve in that branch of our
national defense. But with the
recent authorization by Con-
gress for an enlarged Marine
Corps, applications for enlist-
meats will again be considered
and those making application
now will be placed on the
waiting list for May, the Post-
master said. As heretofore
young men between 18 and 25
years of age and who have had
high school training are eligi
ble to make application, he
stated. Application blanks
and literature may be obtained
at the post office or by writing
to the U. S. Marine Corps Re-
cruiting Office, Dallas, Texas.

Tiran, Albania, April 9.
(UP)—Italian troops camped
Sunday night along the fron-
tiers of Jugoslavia and Greece,
and the subjugation of Albania
ceased to be a military prob-
lem.
New reinforcements con-
tinued to pour in at Dur&zzo
and other Albanian ports,
strengthening Italy’s armies
on this side of the Adriatic.
Enough artillery already has
arrived in Albania to enable
Italy to close the Adriatic sea
to enemy ships without using
the Italian navy.
Italian heavy guns faced
each other across the narrow
neck of the Adriatic, only 45
miles wide. Detachments of
the Bersagiieri and the six-
foot Grenadiers pushed their
way through mountainous Al-
bania passes to the Jugoslav
and Greek frontiers.

Jewelry .Becoming More
Popular With Men
Dallas, Tex. (UP)—Men,
according to an expert whose
business it is to know, are
finding out once more that
they can make themselves look
pretty good by dolling up with
a little jewelry.
No longer do men buy jew-
elry just for their wives,
daughters, or girl friends, ac-
cording to Myron Everts, pres-
ident of the American Nation-
al Retail Jewelers Association.
They are buying it now for
themselves, as welL '
"Jewelry manufacturers
are designing articles now to
please the men," Everts said.
"Cuff links, which were in-
dispensable to s njanje ward-
robe until soft shirts came into
popularity, are making a
comeback.
“Men like the new key
chains which attach to the hip
pocket. They like the new
thin watches, encased in glass,
so they can ‘see them tick.1
“These articles which were
designed especially for the
men are receiving an enthusi-
astic reception.'’
