FRIDAY DECEMBER 27th, 1
There was born at the Physicians
& Surgeons Hospital in San Antonio,
on the twentieth of December to Mr.
and Mrs. Jess Hankins a 5 1-4 pound
girl. Latest reports from the hospital
are to the effect that the mother and
small heir are doing nicely, while Jess
is searching the Alamo city for a hat
that will fit his head.

during the summer season will go away
advertising this wonderful section of
the southwest, resulting in a continu-
ed and increased tourist travel as the
years go by.
“I am strong for this road project,
and feel that a large majority of the
ranchmen of Edwards county are
with me in this.”

an effort to help ourselves a little,
then wc should have no fear of the j
outcome, for with two forces now at J
work for the same end, I see no rea-
son why the ranching industry en-
gaged in raising sheep and goats over
the nation, should not receive a very
beneficial upward trend through these
influences.”
Mr. Young went on to say that if the j
cooperative movement had done no-;
nation, as well as the farmers, it had
given them that degree of strength and
self-reliance that was not theirs a few
short mouths ago.
He went on further and pointed out
the fact that V. A. Brown had advo-
cated some sort of closer cooperation
between the warehouse interests sev-
eral years ago, and stated that Mr.
j Biown never over looked an occasion
to advance this idea, that has become
* a reality today.
* Mr. Young is a strong believer in
cooperation, and feels that through
this method of doing business will
the ranchmen receive just what is com-
ing to him for his clips.
| “Another thing.” said Mr. Young.

“This is a purely business proposi-

of the stabilizing of the market, “and

not for a moment attempt to secure

the fact that we are going to get

looking after that end of the matter,
as they did in the. case of the wheat
men, and we know that growers* of
wool and mohair will profit by a co-
operative movement that is backed
squarely by the United States govern-
ment.
