Eating out is more popular
during the hot August days as
mere and more families get
away from the oven-like home
kltrhen to the air-conditioned
coolness of restaurants. When
West folks eat In out-of-town
restaurants we notice they most
always leave generous tips for
the waitress. At heme it's a dif-
ferent story. Vory few visitors to
our local restaurants show this
appreciation for service render-
ed. And in most cases the ser-
vice is much better than that
received out-of-tewn.
• •
It may be that local patrons
feel they are too well acquainted
with our waitresses and a tip
would be resented. We asked the
girls who dish up the food how
they felt about the matter. Not
a single waitress was allergic
to tips. They like the minted
coin as well as the next person
whether it ccmes from a friend
or stranger. Personally, we are
a poor tipper. But if you tip
away from home there is no
reason why you shouldn't give
equal consideration to the
homefolks.

“Let’s Talk
Live Stock"
By Ted Gouldy
Port Worth, Texas, Aug. 7—
Movement of livestock continu-
es to be lighter than usual for
this season of the year at most
Southwestern points. This con-
dition is attributable to several
reasons, mainly the good range
and pasture conditions in the
territory are encouraging cattle-
men to keep stock for a while
longer.
Secondly, and a big factor In
the lighter offerings, is the ex-
tremely keen demand for stock-
ers of all kinds. Many cattle
and sheep men refuse to price
their she-stock at all. Some
cattlemen are this year pricing
their heifer calves and yearlings
above the steers, an occurrence
that has happened only a time
cr two in I he history of the
business in this section.
Stocker buyers on the Fort
Worth market are snatching
many aged cows right away
from the packer buyers if they
lock like they will raise
one more calf. Stocker buyers
would like for the cows to have
a
Let’s Elect
The imminence of price con-
trols or rationing remains most-
ly a topic of conversation. A
good many people think Presi-
dent Truman will be given a
"blank check’’ by Congress and
have virtually unlimited powers
In the matter of allocations,
price controls and rationing.
Under such a setup, congress-
men would then be in position
to say it was not their fault If
inflation got out of hand and
tco little or tco much in the
way of controls was applied.
Could be, one guess is about as
good as another..^
In the meanwhile, govern-
ment purchases of the better
grades of meat are becoming a
larger and larger factor In the
market each day. Purchases of
pork products and good beef
for the armed forces are in-
creasing steadily and as more
men go under arms and In
training, this sort of buying
will expand.

Prospects of a good crop on
grain sorghums as well as a
good corn crop probably will en-
hance the outlook for feeding
cattle and sheep in the South-
west in the Fall and Winter.
