a memento tram Bam Cheashlr, who,
thru the courtesy of Dr. Stephen H.
Grant, has beefa a reader of this
newspaper since it was established
thirty-three years ago. Sam liked a
series of stories The Times man
wrote while on a vacation to the
west coast several years ago, and
wrote him that a man who was will-
ing to work while on a vacation was
entitled to a reward, and that he
was sending it. When it arrived it
proved to be a nine-foot Dia-
mond-back rattle snake skin,
thoroughly cured, and containing
twenty-three rattles. It attracts the
attention and respect of every visit-
or to The Times office.
But to get back to Sam Chesshir
and his present problem. They have
just completed a new highway thru
Kenedy county, and Caesar Kleberg,
off the-big new ribbon of concrete
that crosses the county.
• Sam has been sleeping in the same
room and bed for 23 years, and we
are just wondering how long it will
take him to begin feeling at home
again in that new mansion, with
probably the best in beds that man-
ufacturers now afford.
J. O. Loftin, president of the Tex-
as College of Arts and Industries,
visited Norias recently, and after
listening to Sam’s flow of rowdy
words, told Caesar:
“If you will provide a cap and
gown, I’ll give Sam Chesshir a de-
gree of A. and 1. College.
“I want to give him a degree in
language.
“I have found him highly pro-
ficient in English, Spanish and pro-
fanity.”

at the church, with ten members
and one visitor, Mrs. Sam Foster,

Where We Live.” with Mrs. Will
Rollins as director.
The Bible study, which is our
watchword for the new year, Psalm
67:2, “That thy way may be known
upon the earth, thy salvation among
all nations,” was given by Mrs. J. I.
Matthews. The song for the new
year is “Jesus Saves.” Others tak-
ing part on the program were Mmes.

adjourned to meet next Monday at

ected by Mrs. R. N. Owen. The les-
son is to be on “Lydia,” which is the
twenty-first chapter of our book,
“Women of the New Testament.”

WUh White Face,
for Beef Purposes
George Terry of Milton was in
The Times office Friday to renew his
subscription. When asked about his
farming operations he told us a story
about cattle that we would like to
pass on to our readers.
Mr. Terry raises from ten to fif-
teen calves a year, breeding his
Jersey cows to White Face bulls.
A calf from this cross breeding will
be nearly a third larger at ten
months old than a pure-bred White
Face, due to the richness of its mo
ther’s milk.
They should be sold just as soon
as they are taken from the cow, ac-
cording to Mr. Terry, otherwise the
Jersey breeding will begin to show.
He sold eighteen calves last year,
-eceiving on an average of $36 each.
Mr. Terry has mad£*iP practice of
this breeding for a number of years,
and is thoroughly convinced of its
value.
