The eagle that preys on live-stock raised by ranchmen in the Marfa sector better begin to be a wary bird for he is to be the target of men bent on ending his life span, ""The Marfa Predatory Control

Club" is the official name of an organization of ranch operators who are paying $100 a year to a group of three men who are to shoot to kill the eagle and other predators. Dan Medley, Victor Wi|kins, and John Mathews are the hunters. Medley was a Navy instructor in World War II, Wil­kins was also a Navy flyer—with 14 Japanese and ftve Getman planes to his credit, and Mathews was an Army Air Forces flight instructor at Marfa Army Air Field and elsewhere.

Mr. Medley says that "six flights, seven eagles," was the score as of Thursday of this week. He says that the group hopes to get organized for regular patrol

duty and will also make special flights when a particular predator is giving trouble. He says that the yearly fees of members will be put in a special fund and that he and his associates will draw * $8 an hour for flying work. This amount will include the compensa­tion for pilot and gunner as well as rent of the plane which will be secured from Shannon Aircraft.

Those who had paid their yearly assessment to be entitled to work by the group of three, as of the latter part of last week, were: Milton Gillett, Mrs. D. O. Medley, J. W, Merrill, C. E. Conring.

Mr. Medley says that consider­able encouragement has been gi>v en them in their new enterprise for Presidio County and that it is believed that enough more will af filiate with the organisation to per­mit them to give good "coverage" in the county in their quest of fowl and animals that harrass the the ranchmen in his efforts to raise livestock.

"Big Bend Agricultural Produ­cers Association" was the name selected for the organization which is to seek a state charter as soon as legal procedure may be com­pleted. The men's action came as a result of a meeting attended by ranchmen from counties of the Rio Grande section. N o R a p i d A c t i o n C o m i n g

Earl Falhs, Alpine, Chief Pa­trol Inspector for the Immigration Service, assured those at the meeting that there was no basis of fact to the report that large-scale raids and deportations of Mexico laborers would begin April 11. Ranch operators will be given plenty of time to make labor ar­rangements, and to make contract application for employment of present workers who are wanted or these who will be employed by compliance with regulations.

Criticism was expressed of the Mexico-United States contract which the two governments pro­pose and which the California Fruit Growers' Association wants. It was termed "not applicable in this area." T w o A s s i g n e d to W o r k

George Jones and Joe D. Bunton

contact Mexico officials, through Juarez authorities, at once in re­gard to the formulating of a work­able contract that will comply with governmental regulations and will also not work a hardship on ranchmen dependent on Mexico labor.

Tank, Pipeline Work On Ranch Undertaken

Milton Gillett, Highland ranch­man, received assistance from the Highland Soil Conservation Dis­trict last week in planning a pipe­line and tank on one of his ranches.

Technicians of the Soil Conser­vation Service, assisting the local district, completed a line of levels from a new well to a proposed tank site to determine the eleva­tion the water would be boosted. Loss of elevation due to friction in the pipeline was also computed. When installed, the tank will af­ford permanent water resulting in improved distribution of livestock water and forage utilization.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER

W e s e c o n d t h e m o t i o n W e ' l l d o o u r p a r t ! *

International Harvester has reduced prices to save users of its products $20,000,000 a year. T h e reductions apply to a selected list of various products made b y the Company.

In making its announcement to the general public last week, International Harvester said:

"We believe there is nothing more important to this country than to lower the prices of goods people buy.

"The American people have insisted that the government withdraw jrom its attempts to control prices in peacetime. That places the responsibility where it belongs—in the hands of business and industry.

"Because we believe price reduction is vital, ice arc willing to assume the risks involved."

A s International Dealers we wil l do our part. W e will pass International Harvester's price reductions to our customers.

A n d now a word of gratitude l o our friends who have patiently waited for the new machines they need. A s most of our customers are aware, International Harvester has done everything possible—and some things that seemed impossible —to maintain and increase production.

The outlook is somewhat better. Soon w c hope to supply equipment to a l l of those who have cooperated so faithfully with us.

Meanwhile, the same top-quality International Service and Parts that have kept equipment operating for our customen during the difficult years are available from us. W e urge o u i friends to continue to use these facilities to obtain m a x i m u m operating economy.

International Harvester is <Jomg its part with quality, i n c:-cr.r.ed production and reduced prices. W e w i l l d o o u r p a r t i n t h i s t e r r i t o r y

Romberg, in Person Monday At El Paso

Sigmund Romberg, eminent com­poser, will appear in person at Liberty Hall, El Paso, Monday, sponsored by the El Paso Sym­phony Ways and Means Commit tee.

He will play a program of light contemporary music, conducting his famous 60-piece concert or­chestra. He will include some of his own works in the concert.

Romberg is one of those per­sons who loves and lives music. He has mastered many instru­ments, and could with little effort take the place of any player in his orchestra. His first musical composition was written at the age of 16, and was dedicated to the Grand Duchess Clotilde, sis­ter of Emperor Franz Josef. He was 20 years of age when he ar­rived in America, where he has achieved fame and a great fortune and is today the best loved of all modern composers, '

Mr. Romberg has had many screen successes, and through the radio, his music is being broad­cast continuously to the American people.

IT'S A B I G J O B

THESE DAYS One of the first things a new telephone operator learns is to be always ready for the next ca l l—your ca l l—anybody 's c a l l !

Operators have a lot of calls to handle nowadays. There are more telephones i n use than ever before and cal l ing is at an a l l - t ime h igh. T h e switchboard at times is l i teral ly ablaze wi th l i g h t s - e a c h one cal l ing for Number , please?" and each one getting a "Number , please?" as quickly as ski l led and courteous operators can manage. I f your ca l l is not answered at once, you ' l l know that nimble fingers w i l l reach i t as soon as they possibly can.

A s soon as much-needed new equipment can be obtained and instal led we 11 be ready to handle your calls quicker and better than ever before.

Grain prices fell, carrots weak­ened, and easiness developed at some livestock markets last week. Other southwest farm products held steady to strong, according to the Production and Marketing Ar-ministration, U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Grains opened the week with all their recent -vigor last Monday, but fell rapidly on succeeding days to net losses of 8 to 15 cents. Wheat and grain sorghums, spear* heads of past advances, felt most heavily the weight of new bearish onslaughts. At Fort Worth and Galveston, bulk carlot sales of No. 1 hard ordinary wheat moved Fri­day at $2.87 per bushel; and No. 2 milo at $2.90 to $2.93 per hun­dred pounds.

Most feeds made net gains of $3 to $9 per ton. Alfalfa hay val­ues improved slightly, as late win­try weather intensified demand. Light offerings of prairie hay found revived interest. Sheller peanut prices stayed the same. Cold rains rotted early seedings in South Texas. Some Texas wools sold, mostly from revalued 1943 and 1944 fine and one-half blood lots.

Cabbage brought higher prices, while carrots weakened; but other southwest vegetable shipping points saw little change last week. Cabbage moved briskly at mostly $1.10 to $1.15 for 50 pounds in the Rio Grande Valley; carrots slow at $.90 to $1.15.

Egg and poultry prices con­tinued firm. On the round of southwest markets, heavy hens brought 28 to 30 cents per pound; fryers and broilers 30 to 32. Eggs sold on the average of 35 cents per dozen at Topeka, Amarillo, and Wichita Falls; 37 at Denver, Austin, San Antonio, and Waco; 37½ to 38 at Fort Worth and Dal­las; 39 at Houston, 40 at Corpus Christi, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and El Paso; and 41 at New Or­leans.

Cattle sold at prices as high or higher than the week before at most southwest markets, but steers and yearlings closed lower at Ok­lahoma City, as did yearlings at Fort Worth. Beef cows sold up to $17 at Oklahoma City; while medium to good kinds brought $13 to $15 at Fort Worth; and $14.50 to $16.75 at Denver. Common and

medium cows moved at $12 to $14.50 at Houston and Wichita; and $11.75 to $15 at San Antonio.

Slaughter hogs stayed even with last week at Texas markets, and stocker pigs gained a dollar at Fort Worth. However,. most classes dropped about a dollar at Oklahoma City and Wichita. Week's top was $24.50 at San An­tonio: closing top was $26.50 at Oklahoma City; $26.85 at Wich­ita; and $27:35 at Denver. Fort Worth paid mostly $26.50.

Sheep and lambs lost up to a dollar at Oklahoma City and Wich­ita, but other southwest markets paid as much or more than a week earlier. Good lambs brought $20 to $21 at San Antonio; while spring lambs turned at $23.50 to $24 at Fort Worth, Oklahoma £ity, and Wichita. Medium shorn goats went at mostly $6 to $7 at San Antonio.

Students9 Thanks Expressed to Club

Ending one of the most success­ful athletics years in the history of Marfa High School, students here are appreciative of the con­stant support of civic club mem­bers and all other citizens.

That appreciation was expressed Friday noon at the Lions Club luncheon by W. A. Oatman, bask­etball and football player. "W. A." as he is known by youth and

! adult in the Marfa community, told of the Interscholastic League events of the next few weeks which will bring several hundred students and instructors here.

A group of songs was sung by Beverly Bunton, Billy Ann Bun­ton, and Nancy Jones, with piano accompaniment by Katheryn Bun­ton.

Walter Polsky announced that Lions Club men from Balmorhea would be here Tuesday night, March 25, to play basketball with Marfa ciub members. * -t-1_ *s

contest a zone meeting of Lions Club men was conducted with the Marfa organization's members as hosts.

Work done by the club's swim­ming pool committee was men­tioned and Eddie DeVolin reported that he believed an arrangement would be evolved which'would per­mit use of the swimming pool at Fort D. A. Russell.

Many Texas People 111 of Influenza

' AUSTIN, March 26,—Reports coming in to the State Health De­partment indicate that the number of influenza cases has increased to epidemic proportions in many areas. The reported incidence last week was 11,625 cases, representing, however, only a fraction of the ac tual number of cases as many cases are not receiving medical care, and therefore remain unreported.

There were perhaps an estimated 200,000 cases of influenza last week in Texas.

Commenting on this situation, Dr. George W. Cox, State Health Officer, said that most of these cases are mild and lend them­selves to treatment readily. He pointed out that two cooperative factors are essential to victims of this disease; first, to call the fam­ily physician promptly when su­spicious symptoms appear; and second, to take it easy for a reasonable length of time after

New Shortening Praised by Many

Production and distribution of a new product important to hog raisers has been launched by Swift and Co.

The new product is bland lard, termed the most important lard development in more than 50 years.

"Bland lard is the result of many years of intensive research to establish lard at the top of the shortening list," G. J . Stewart, vice president of Swift and Com­pany, said. "The many properties which bland lard possesses make it superior to other shortenings. It is our intent to acquaint consumers with the true facts and create a lasting demand for this all-im­portant pork product."

Bland lard's appeal to consum­ers is based on its versatility. It is pure white, odorless, and high­ly digestible. It remains cream-able at a wide range of tempera­tures—is neither hard at refrig­erator temperature nor soft at summer temperature. It does not smoke even though heated to above 400 degrees F„ while other shortenings reach a "smoke point" at from 350 to 375 degrees, It re­tains all its characteristics with­out refrigeration, and the Swift product stays fresh even though exposed to air.

As production is expanded, the merchandising campaign will be spread until it reaches national proportions.

me acute stage acta ouuaiu u. "It is essential to realize that

influenza, no matter how mild the attack, calls for a period of con-valescense, because serious compli­cations can occur if this important fact is ignored," he said. "In­fluenza is not mass-controllablc. However, those persons who main­tain the highest possible health level at all times, increasing their resistance to communicable disease germs, will have a protective ad­vantage over those more careless persons who continually abuse their health."

The State Health Officer de­clared that living by the laws of nature, getting plenty of sleep, daily exercise in the open, nourish­ing foods and good personal hy­giene offers the best known bulwark against all respiratory diseases and added that avoiding habits oi any and all kinds detrimental to maximum well being is a wise course to take in the pursuit of good health.

Setting Provided For Pilot Club Event

The Colonial Room of the Crews Hotel was converted into a typical western scene for the dinner and program Tuesday evening when members of the Marfa Pilot Club and their guests were entertained with a "Cowboy Stew." Hostesses for the evening were Mrs, Robert E. Evans, Mrs. Lucile Baygent, Mrs. L. M. Sagor, Mrs. H. L. Hord, Mrs. Jesse Lee Blackwell and Miss Delbeitine Hurley.

Branding irons, ropes, small spurs and saddles, a chuck box and dutch ovens filled with peach and plum blossoms were placed about the table, with the centerpiece be­ing representative of a campfire. Producing this effect were small logs over which rested a frying pan filled with flaming red carna­tions arranged with red satin streamers, and greece wood pro» vided the surrounding greenery. Lights from hurricane lamps soft­ly illuminated the scene.

Place cards were of miniature cowboy hats and chains.

The dinner, consisting of barbe-cued beef, potato salad, frijoles and hot rolls, was concluded with a dessert of cream pulls and coffee.

Before the dinner the program was opened with group singing of "Home on the Range" and other cowboy songs and music, and the guests were welcomed by Mrs.

Evans. Miss Phyllis Headlee, club president, presided, and following introduction of the guests, Mrs. R. S. McCracken took charge of the entertainment.

Revelation of the "secret pals" during the past year provided a great deal of amusement and gifts were exchanged by the members. Each guest present received a package of chewing gum during the exchange of gifts.

Among the fifty members and guests who attended the dinner were Mrs. Bernal Slight, presi­dent of the Pilot Club of Alpine, and Mr. Slight.

if The early Greek physicians believed that it was not possible for a man to enjoy perfect health unless he carefully organized his life to accomplish this single objective. This meant the meticulous ordering of each day. Proper nutrition, exercise, and rest were perfectly balanced. Physical constitution, age, and even the seasons of the year were considered.

For a man of affairs, such a regimen is out of the ques­tion. When your work is done, you play and exercise when you can. But this little you can do. See your family physician at least once a year. Follow his advice. In case medication is required, we are prepared to serve you, promptly and economically.

Useful hints about spring house cleaning If spring house cleaning is due to start at your house, then you're probably looking for an idea or two to make it easier. One way of cutting down on the time and effort needed for a thorough house cleaning is to use the many good preparations available for specific house cleaning jobs—scouring powders, wallpaper cleaner, paint cleaner, upholstery cleaner, window cleaner, polishes and waxes—to name only a few. In using any of these special prepara­tions, be sure to read the labels and follow directions exactly for best n-esuit8.

TIPS OK LAUNDERING CURTAINS

Though the laundering of curtains is a job that's usually included in spring house cleaning, frequent launderings will make curtains last longer than if they are allowed to become very soiled. . . . Shake out dust from curtains, then dip into a tub of clear, luke­warm water. . . . Gently knead and squeeze cur­tains in heavy suds for 3 or 4 min­utes, or until soil is loosened. Extra soap takes out dirt easily, cuts down on friction on the fabric, and pro­tects with a sudsy cushion. Change to fresh suds at least once; oftener if water is very dirty. Rinse once in a quantity of water small enough to atay slightly soapy. Rinse twice in plenty of water. To the last rinse add a thin cooked starch, or use one of the new liquid starches. (The di­rections on your starch will give you the proper proportions.)

WAXING YOUR FLOORS

. . . Clean off the old wax with a soft cloth moistened with liquid wax. . . . Apply a thin coat of paste or liquid wax with an applicator made of two or three thicknesses of cheese­cloth or a soft lintless cloth about six inches square. Too much wax will make the floor slippery. Let dry from 15 to 30 minutes and then polish with a soft cloth, weighted polisher or electric floor polisher. . . . Apply a second thin coat for in­creased luster and wear. Let each coat dry and then polish before ap­plying the next coat.
