your information:
An order has just been received
the Interstate Commerce Com-
in which it suspends for hear-
an investigation, a proposal of
carriers to restrict the market pri-
ces accorded livestock in the south-
There are thousands of car-
oK cattle and sheep consigned
tfie ’Forth Worth and other south-
n markets which are intended
sale to buyers from Kansas, Okla-
and the Corn Belt States, which
now permitted to move through
ation on the rate from the
pomt of origin instead of
rate from Fort Worth which, in
f&Statices, is prohibitive. Under
rules, a change of own-
would not be permitted, and, in
to that, where no change in
ip occurred, the destination
be restricted to the central
such as Oklahoma City,
Kansas City and St. Louis,
tile present rules permit the
Client of such shipments to
lots and pastures. The increase
Corn Belt states would amount
tically 25c per hundred which
wipe out the spread in prices
the Missouri river markets
Fori: Worth and thereby prevent
irthern buyers from buying in
Worth, which in turn would
the livestock to the Missouri
nuirkets where a more favor-
nt of rates now exist.
"Worth is the logical market for
Restock and the majority of
Save become accustomed to
lg their livestock to a cen-
located and nearby market
it may be disposed of in active
n to the numerous buyers
generally found at the cen-
kets. It is perfectly obvious
i the proposed rules in effect,

Earnest E. Baker
Held In Okla.
In a news dispatch from Oklahoma
City bearing date of November 15th,
we see where Ernest Baker is being
held there on information from Sher-
iff Ed Young of Edwards county, on
a charge of "alleged conspiracy to
do fraud Edwards county, Texas, of
cash offered on bounty of wolf skins."
Sheriff Young has been hot on Ba-
ker’s trail since last February, and
only recently has he been successful
in offering sufficient reward that
would attract the man hunting ele-
ment in Oklahoma. Mr. Young has
had his man located in Oklahoma on
several occasions, but through no fault
of his the arrest of Baker has not
been accomplished, until last week,
and all the information we have is
contained in the above dispatch.
The news article goes on to state
that “Baker is alleged to have gone
into Mexico, killed wolves and col-
lected bounties in Texas on their
hides.”
Thus ends a long hunt for a man
charged with a crime, or crimes, that
have not only cost the county of Ed-
wards quite a large amount of mo-
ney but several of our prominent
ranchmen have been victims of this
sort of practice.

Highway Bonds
San Antonio, Nov. 13.—Members of
the American Association of State
Highway Officials today heard form-
al addresses, and divided itself into
group meetings for study of the pro-
blems peculiar to the various states.
Governor Moody approved policies
advocated by Thomas H. MacDonald
of Washington, D. C., chief of the
bureau of public roads, and went on
record in favor of the state bond issue
plan of financing permanent construc-
tion instead of the pay-as-you-go idea
prevalent at present.

It is believed that $200,000 will be
sufficient with which to construct
eighteen miles of hard-surfaced read

two miles to the Edwards line and
improve the road to Menard.
“Lions H. L. Taylor, Judge L. W.
Elliott and Jack Niell were appointed
by President Caldwell to ascertain
the amount necessary and see what

L A. Clark’s Ranch
Advertising Urged
By Kincaid
San Angelo, Tex., Nov. 15.—A
nation-wide advertising campaign for
wool, to be carried on on a wider
scale than the present mutton adver-
tising by the National Wool Growers’
Association was launched at the con-
vention of the National Wool Grow-
ers’ Association in San Angelo. The
production of artificial sJk in the
United States in 1929 was 131,000,000
pounds, an amount equal to the clean
content wool production of wool in
the nation during the same year. Lea-
ders say that rayon is one of the most
widely advertised textile materials in
America, and that wool is suffering
from a lack of this advertisement.
Wool prices in Texas have dropp-
ed heavily this year and the growers
are interested in doing something to j
increase the return from the wool,
says, T. A. Kincaid, president of the
Sheep and Goat Raisers’ Association
of Texas. “The lamb campaign has
helped the mutton sales, I am sure,”
he says, “and wool needs similar sti-
mulation.” '
Kincaid thinks that a cooperative
advertising agencyj among the grow-
ers and the. woolen manufacturers
might be formed with benefits to both.
