Farm Fire Loss Blamed on Neglect of Easy Rules
m WILL PAY $5.00 FOR EACH STRANGE FOOD FACT SUBMITTED AND USED.
ADDRESS. A WORLD OF FOOD. 104 East 40th Street, NEW YORK. N.Y.
Last year fires like this cost American farmers 133
million dollars. Most could have been prevented or
kept small. To prevent this kind of disaster on your
farm, carry out these simple rules now: 1. When
building or remodeling, use non-combustible mate-
rials. All-steel structures, such as Quonsets, mini-
mize spread of fire. 2. Protect all your buildings
(including those of steel) with well-distributed,
properly grounded, tightly-connected lightning rods.

3. Make sure electrical wiring is in A-l shape. 4. Put
heating equipment and chimneys in good condition.
Make sure that every person who turns on or regu-
lates heating equipment knows how to do it. 5. Take
no chances with damp hay. Dry hay properly in field
or mow. Check temperature of hay for six weeks.
8. Put fire-fighting equipment in every building and
make sure that everybody on the farm knows where
it is and how to use it.

Movement of livestock at the
start of the week was moderate
at Southwestern markets, but
heavy at midwest and Western
centers. Denver reported a huge
sheep run, and Omaha had al-
most 30,000 cattle on Monday.
Prices were stable at Fort
Worth Monday. Some interests
bid easier prices on cows and
bulls, but were unable to get
many bought that way. Steers,
yearlings and Stockers were
firm. Some toppy fat calves sold
up to $15 to $15.50, and a few
to $16 were definitely higher.
Good and choice slaughter
Charter No. 10230
steers and yearlings sold from
$17 to $22, and choice to prime
cattle are quotable to $25 or
better, some club steers late
last week selling to $26. Common
and medium grassers sold for
$10 to $15, and cutter grades
sold from $7 to $9.
Fat cows cleared at $9 to $11,
with some heiferish kinds to
$12. Canners and cutters drew
$5.50 to $9, some old shells
down to $5. Bulls drew $8 to
$12, odd head above and below
that range.
Fat calves of good and choice
kinds sold mainly from $12.50
to $15, with some around 500
pounds and over strictly fat
kinds to $15.50 and $16. Com-
mon and medium sorts sold
from $9 to $12, with ' culls from
$6 to $9. Good and choice Stock-
er steer calves sold from $12 to
$16.50, and plainer kinds sold
around $9 to $11. Stocker and
feeder steers and steer yearlings
cashed at $9 to $15.50. Stocker
cows were slow at $8 to $12.
hints at this time to the effect
that feed bills of the size of
those paid last year cannot be
financed by them this year.
This situation may result in
heavier than planned liquida-
tion of herds in many cases. It
will surely result in increased
pressure for cheap feed through
a government program.
The financiers take the stand
that a cow or a ewe that already
is carrying a heavy feed bill
from the past two or three years
of dry weather can very easily
“eat her entire value up be-
tween now and spring.”
Hog prices were 25 cents high-
er to 25 cents lower at Fort
Worth Monday. Shippers and
small packers paid the higher
prices, while major packers fol-
lowed the Northern trend into
a lower market.
Top hogs sold for $24 to $25
at Fort Worth. This compares
with a top of $23 to $23.60 at
Chicago the same day. Sows at
Fort Worth drew $20 to $22, and
were 50 cents off.
Many financial backers of
stockmen are dropping broad

ATTENTION MOTORISTS
Did you ever stop and think
“why do we have law enforce-
ment officers?” The answer is a
simple one. We need police of
ficers to protect us—from other
people and, if we are honest
about it, even from ourselves.
Take the case of the traffic
officer for instance, when he
arrests an intoxicated driver,
he does it so that the other
motorists on the street or high-
way will not be endangered by
someone who cannot drive safe-
ly. That is the sole purpose be-
hind the work of the traffic of-
ficer. Every arrest he makes or
warning he gives is to protect
the safety of the public. If you
have gotten a traffic ticket for
some moving traffic violation,
the officer actually did you a
favor. Maybe you didn’t look at
it that way, but you should
have! It cost you money, true,
but at the same time, it remind-
ed you that you had done some-
thing that was dangerous to you
and to the other motorists.
Every traffic law in the State
of Texas was made in an ef-
fort to protect the people. Did
you ever think about it in that
light? If you break a traffic
law, you have done an unsafe
act; if the act was not unsafe,
there would not be a law pro-
hibiting it. If a motorist runs
a red light and is not seen by
a policeman, he hasn’t hurt the
policeman, he has simply risked
his own safety. If he is caught
and fined and as a result be-
comes a better driver, then the
policeman actually did that
driver a good deed. That one
small fine may keep that man
from killing or injuring himself
and others in an accident later
on.
Why not start looking upon
the traffic policeman and high-
way patrolman as a friend? If
a man saved your life, you’d
count him as a friend, wouldn’t
you? If a patrolman arrests a
drunk driver or a driver of a
car without headlights five
miles down the road from you,
then he has protected you from
having to risk your life when
you would have met them far-
ther down the road. He has
done the same thing when he
stops you and tells you that
the tail light on your car is not
working. He may have prevented
your death or injury when
a car ran you down from be-
hind, unable to see your car
because your tail light was not
working. Simple? Yes, but im-
portant!
The law enforcement officer
is your servant. He works long,
hard, thankless hours everyday
for moderate or inadequate pay.
Take the advice of your Tex-
as Safety Association and let
your police department know
that you appreciate their ef-
forts and can count on you for
your support and cooperation.
Pay them a visit, ask questions
and learn more about the men
who work each day to protect
the health and safety of you
and your loved ones.

LOOK HOW MUCH MORE YOU GET WITH MERCURY
NOW WHEN YOU BUY-you get a car that’s breaking sales
records. And because our high volume lets us take a
lower profit per car, we are now in position to offer you
the best trade-in deals in our history. Mercury’s initial
cost is very little more than the lowest priced cars.
And you get so much more, when you get a Mercury!
WHEN YOU DRIVE—you’ll be thrilled by Mercury’s proven
V-8 performance. Here is no newcomer V-8! Mercury
has always used V-8 engines. You have your choice
of more optional features—including 4-way power
seat, power brakes, power steering, electric window
lifts, and immediate delivery on Merc-O-Matic Drive.
WHEN YOU TRADE IT IN—Mercury’s popularity, style
leadership, proven V-8 economy combine to give it
the highest trade-in value in its field. Because you
get more of your investment back in the future when
you trade it in, the final cost of a Mercury makes it
the "hottest” buy on the market.
