Mr. and Mrs. Albert G. Hartfiel
College Station—Texas farmers
were warned by the State USDA
War Board this week that only a
few days remain in which apepals
for more mileage can be made.
Temporary transport rations to
keep farm trucks moving cannot
be issued after January 31, the
Board said and pointed out that all
appeals should be presented to dis
trict ODT offices by January 20 in
order for local war price and ra-
loning boards to issue gasoline cou
pans before the January 31 dead-
line.
Lee Conty War Price and Ration-
ing Board today announced the
names of approximately 16 offi-
cial tire inspectors appointed by
the board, and urged motorists to
have their tires inspected without 1
delay.
Periodical tire inspection is re-I
quired by law, and no passenger
car can be legally operated after
January 31 unless the first inspec
tion has been made. January 15
is the deadline for truck and oth-
er commercial motor vehicle tire

by the burglars amounted to ap-1

store-room of the cafe.
For the year 1942 they had an
average of 146 hens from which
they marketed $600.59 worth of
eggs and used $77.41 worth in the
home, or a total of $678. Their
feed bill at the same time was
$212, leaving a net profit of $466
or $3.20 per hen.
They also sold $814.93 worth of
