LAST YEAR’S
LOSSES PROVE IT
Where flocks were handled CONTINUOUSLY after
shearing, death losses were perhaps largely averted, but
that insurance was bought at the price of damage. For so
great is the damage in eaten out traps, with endless han-
dling, that flocks merely live, producing much less than
they are capable of earning. And any business that cuts
down its income is certainly losing money.

Unfortunately, this is again emphasized by the severe
losses throughout Texas during the rains of late Septem-
ber and early October. Death losses to some extent were
suffered on nearly all ranches, while here and there,
whole flocks were wiped out.
Increase Averages 4,000 Cars
a Month over Same
Period in 1926
Flint, Mich., Oct. 15 — Buick sales
since the introduction of new models in
July have shattered all records in Buick
history, C. W. Churchill, general sales
manager of the Buick Motor Company,
announced today. The July, August and
September total this year is 82,955
cars, as compared with 70,941 cars sold
during the corresponding period in
1926.
"The average monthly increase
during the last three months, over the
corresponding period in 1926, amounts
to more than 4,000 cars," said .Mr.
Churchill. "This represents an average
increase of 1,000 cars a week, or con-
siderably better than 100 a day.
"When it is recalled that these are
retail sales figures, and not mere
production totals, such a record seems
to us highly significant. It means that
the instantaneous public reception of
the new Buicks was not a mere flash in
the pan, but rather the forerunner of a
sustained demand for Buicks, all over
the country, based on the recognition
that here was such style, comfort and
performance as best filled the public’s
conception of value in a motor car.”
Forty thousand GOAT COATS in use have unques-
tionably proved them to be AN ABSOLUTELY SAFE
SHELTER UNDER ANY EXTREME WEATHER
CONDITION. They never fail. They are always there
when needed. They permit goats to feed all they want,
wherever and whenever they care to—uncrowded and un-
unhurried—and then to rest undisturbed. This EVER-
PRESENT SHELTER conserves and husbands their
bodies so that more hair is grown (and hair of a better
quality) more milk is had for the kids—hence better kids
—and these benefits going beyond insurance from death
losses, ARE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO PAY
FOR THE COATS.
IT is a blessing that man naturally forgets his troubles, yet in business,
he must force his memory backward to the unpleasant things in order to
better provide for the future. So that you may be sure to obtain sufficient
GOAT COATS for your spring needs, it is suggested you write us NOW for
any information you wish, and book your order for future delivery.

On Friday at 3:30, Sul Ross en-

promises to be a hard fought, inter-

test. Junior High students feel a
real interest in the sub-college team,
as most of the players are Alpine

had a regular high school. Alpine
people are guaranteed their money’s

bring along some extra money to

Sunny Glen Picnic
At 6:15 Saturday eve, the eighth
and ninth grades left together for
Sunny Glen Canyon, with hopes of
having a good time on the two-grade
picnic. On the way out, some of the
cars ran into a bad ditch, but not to
be deterred by such a small thing,
some of the husky, strong-armed
boys got to work and pulled all but
one out. This one was pulled out on
the way back. There were about a
dozen cars loaded down well with
picnickers. After the rescue of the
cars in the ditch, the party went on
to Sunny Glen. When the picnic
site was reached, a big bonfire was
built. By its light, “Flying Dutch-
man” and “Three Deep” were played
for a time. After a lot of fun came
another whole lot of fun, for some-
one spied some spreads on which
nestled tempting articles of food laid
out on the ground, and yelled ‘Eats!’
Everyone rushed to the spread, the
cry “Grab!” was heard, and the food
started disappearing with amazing
rapidity. After the inner man and
woman was satisfied, the party drove
back to Alpine. Everyone enjoyed
himself and declared the picnic a
great success.
The bi-annual election of officers
for Le Frere Chapter, Alpine chapter
of the Order of De Molay, was held
Wednesday, October 12, at the Ma-
sonic Hall. By a majority vote Alex
McGonagill, junior student, was
elected to the position of Master
Councilor. He will conduct all the
are, for the most part, students or
ex-students of Sul Ross. All of the
meetings of the chapter for the en-
suing term.
Besides the position of master!
councilor four other elective offices!
were filled by the election Wednes-
day evening. Ralph Peters was se-i
kins at the Rotary luncheon last
week.
The reunion will be held this year
on October 31, November 1, 2, 3, in-
clusive, it was announced, and it is I
expected that a fair representation
will go from Alpine although the
supply of prospective material was

Detroit, Mich., Oct. 12.—-An indi-
cation that the automobile industry
is looking forward toward increas-
ing prosperity was noted here today
with the announcement by the Chev-
rolet Motor company of a new Chev-
rolet assembly plant in Atlanta.
The Atlanta plant has been made
necessary to adequately meet the re-
quirements of the rapidly growing
demand for Chevrolet cars in the
South and at the same time to re-
lieve the Cincinnati plant, which has
been operating on an overtime basis
to care for Southeastern business as
well as that from more immediate
territory. The Atlanta plant will
serve particularly Georgia, Florida
and parts of Alabama and South
Carolina.
When completed early next spring
the plant will represent an invest-
ment of more than $2,250,000 cov-!
ering acreage, buildings and equip-
ment. Thirty-one acres of ground
have been taken over for the Atlanta
partment has got in a new electrical
drying oven, a Parr calorimeter, a
university model balance which has
gold-plated weights. This balance is
for the personal use of Mr. Walker.
The balances that the students use
are regulated by this balance. A new
Weston ammeter was received with
this list of new equipment. Mr.
Walker is expecting in several new
tables, the addition of which will
enable the Chemistry Department to
take care of 40 students.
The Industrial Education Depart-
ment has received 14 drawing sets,
9 drawing boards, 28 triangles, 12
scales, and a new storage table
which has 1300 drawers in it.
