And this is how it happened.
Some years track there was
a nice-looking chap in Dallas
that always got the eye of the
girls. "But he was always hav-

of tlrosq. kind of guys. Real
nice-- but always in a bar.”
One evening a gill consid-
erably disgusted with liim, set
off a charge of sparks from
her eyes and snapped, “You’re
the perfect Example of a

The phrase hit Ileleti with

Finds Swedes
On Short End
By MRS. PHILIP OLSON
The Bethel Swedes of
Erieksdahl were defeated by
the Rochester All Star? 3 to 1
in eight innihgs in a softball
game Friday night-at Befry-
hill field. -** ,
Carter, hurling fop Roches-
ter, struck out 18 while not
giving up a hit. pene Sellu-
chert, pitching for the Swedes,
gave up six lilts, striking out
•lght.
Rochester scored its first
run in the top of the fifth or
two singles and an infield out,
but the Swedes tied it up in
the bottom qf the fifth .with a
hit batsman, a throwing error
and a wild pitch by the Roch-
ester tearn. In the eighth the
All Stars scored two runs off
singles, errors and a' wild
pitch.
Monday nigty. Bethel de-
feated Paint, CrCCk IV'to d at
Berry hill. Charlie Stenholm
started for the Swedes but got
help from Schuchert in the
sixth. Roger Hokanson and
Allen Overton pitched for
Baint Creek. Stenholm, Izmis
Lnssetter and Waylahd Shur
ley smashed out' hofiiOrs for
Bethel.
Aug. 7 the Bethel nine play
a return match with the Rorh-
est'u: All Slftra in Rochester. 1
Aug. 11 the SWortes are sched-
uled to play'Palnt. Creek at
Paint_ Creek.
Mrs. Jaftjes B. Day of Rotan
-visited Rer sister, Mrs. Earl
Keese, and Mr. Reese recent-
ly;
She was grand champion of
the spring show the past three
years, and last year was sec-
ond in her Class-in-the 'VVeSjt
Texas Fair in Abilene.
Judy has been showing in\
fairs and livestock shows .al-
most ever since she could
stand alone and hold to a
halter rope. Her first entry in
a show later sold for $1,000.
Qther fair entries from the
Moritz herd of registered Jer-
seys will include another cow,
several heifers and possibly
one or mor e bulls.
Roy, a native of the Stnm-
for da re a. was reared on a half
section farm, joining his pres-
ent stock farm on the east
which has belonged to the Mo-
ritz. family for many years
As a boy in Stamford schools
he became interested in dairy
cattle; after graduating from
high school he chose to pursue
that interest on a farm of his
own rather than go to college.
The result: the acquiring of
one of the largest registered
dary herds in Jones county
where the predominant aim
has- always been t he best in
milk sloe If, <md the favorite i
breed, Jersep. Presently lie has
two or three Holstcins, but he
is basically a Jersey man.
Breeding of a high produc-
ing line of milk cows led Mo-
ritz. into 'the dairy business,^
sineg of necessity, the cows
had to be milked and the logi-
cal thing was to find a mar-
ket for,the milk.
This soon led to a large
dairy operation which after a
time was sold. But Moritz's
Interest ini good dairy cows
continued. iSoon he found
himself “growing’’ back into
t£ie dairy Jmsincss. And now
no supplies about half qf.tfie
milk that is processed and
retailed in Stamford. At peak
production seasons part of his
milk is also haulfed to process-
ors and retailers in other
area towns.
V •
Moritz, helped organize the
Central West Texas Milk Pro-
ducers Association and main-
tains membership In the or-
ganization-' The group help*
maintain'a uniform milk Sup-
ply for all Central West Texas
and is^a means of stabilizing,
