v the rules and the official re-
der has no kick coming when he

against all the other users of the
streets and crossings.
It is true that we have too many
laws. It also is true that we have
many people who need laws. To

must be laws with teeth.—San Fran-

LOOK OUT FOR CHILDREN
One precaution which the National
i Safety Council repeatedly impresses
1 upon motorists, reads:
“Look out for children! You never
| can tell what they will do, and your’re
ilways in the wrong if you hit one.”
Such circumspection is advisable
whenever driving through a residen-
| tial district— and absolutely neces-
! sary when near a school.
Less than two weeks ago a 9-year-
i old boy was struck and instantly kill-
•. by an automobile—evidently driven
at reckless speed—as he was attempt-
ing to cross the street in a San An-
tonio school zone. Last Thursday a
• girl was run down by a truck
itically, perhaps fatally, injured
she started across a busy thor-
are, Fredericksburg road. She
had just become separated from a
'•nap of playmates during the lunch-
on recess—perhaps a contributing
factor to the accident.
Pupils should be taught early this
elemental rule of safety:
In crossing the street, pedestrians
must stick together. Whether two or
more persons are at an intersection
at once, that is the wiser course. If
ey >eparate, the approaching mot-
mist may become confused and run
- one in attempting to avoid the
j other.
The accident-record first recounted
sizes the necessity of the 10-
speed-limit in the school zone,
•ssably, this regulation is rather
• alt to observe; and even at that
it may not always be possible

MOKE MILK PER COW
rhe average production of milk per
Texas, according to the last
w census, is 2,684 pounds, and the
of Texas products averaged
40 per cow. In California, the
u production, according to the
census, is 5.040 pounds, and the
age value per cow $108.10.
• •m will note that while the
re production in California is
twice as large as that in Texas,
verage production value is nearly
times a3 much. In other words,

Chase, one of the players that Har-

one poor cow, but not nearly as much
as the three cows.
With the dairy industry attracting
so much attention ir Texas, it is for-
tunate that information regarding the
subject of feeding is available. Most
farmers understand, these days, that
the modern cow has been developed
for the purpose of giving milk and
lots of it. The cow in its native and
wild state produced just enough milk
to feed her calf. We demand more
of her today, and in order to permit
her to meet this unnatural demand,
she has to have the material with
which to make the milk and butter
fat. If she is not provided with that
material in right proportions, milk is
not forthcoming. There are many
capable cows today that do not pro-
duce their capacity in milk because
their owners have the idea that if a
cow’s belly is full of hay, it is all
sufficient.
Texas and other Southwestern
states have enough cows, if they were
United States average producers, to
supply home demand and leave some
for export. We do not really need
more cows, but we do need better
cows owned by men who know how to
feed and care for them.—Farm and

Many Furs Bought Here
Since the fur trapping season open-
ed some few weeks back, several
thousand dollors worth of furs have
been sold in Rocksprings, with J. A.
Renfroe and N. J. Walton being the
principle buyers. Mr. Renfroe rep-
resents the Standard Hide Fur Co.,
of Dallas, and Mr. Walton is buying
independent. Quite a large number
of coon skins are cominig to the local
market as well as hundreds of ring
tail, skunk, fox and opossum. The
prices gotten here are in line with
the general market price and is very
satisfactory to the sellers.
The money received into the coun-
ty by selling furs has possibly a wider
distribution than most any money re-
ceived here, and is spent throughout
the town with every business firm
profiting thereby.
