Of Interest to Farmers. Feed is one of the most important factors in egg production. • • • Quarter pound eggs are laid by a Manchurian breed of chickens. *' - • Watch closely for throat infection. It spreads rapidly and will result in death by choking. Ducks can be bled fa the mouth the same as turkeys or chickens; this is the proper way to kill them. • • •-* Estimated annual loss to poultry industry in the United States from eggs that fail to hatch is $20,000,000. • • • Sunflower seeds are very high in protein and fat and are unlike most of the other poultry grains that we use. • • • Eggs laid by Kentucky hens in V Son Months Ago Unsolved; Murder Feared. ' Ravmondville. Texas.--Thi^ Blapton case, Texas' nonstop mystery, js more than ten months old--and still unsolved. "What became of the Blantons?" This question was on every lip after the two men disappeared. Today conjecture is: "Will the case ever be solved?" Many say it will not. A few insist it will. Here's the mystery plot, brieliy: On November 18, 1936, Luther Blanton, fifty-seven, iand his son, John, twenty-four, vanished Shortly after they, left their farm near San Perlita to hunt Sducks on a lagoon not far from their home. They were respected men^ out known enemies. 1 Believed Killed. Rumors are many as to their fate. From an official standpoint, Capt. Bill McMurrey of the Texas Rangers, after weeks of investigation, concluded: "The men were either killed near the lagoon or taken away and killed." The scene is the colorful southwest Texas cattle country. Nearby are the great properties of the former King ranch, once called the world's largest cattle domain. The lake to which the Blantons were supposed to have gone is located on a section of the ranch set off as a state game preserve. A State official said residents had been warneqf by the state game warden in this vicinity not to hunt on the preserve without a permit. The enigma called to the scene many peace officers, including twogun, hard-riding Texas Rangers. Chaparral thickets and sand dunes for miles about were combed to no avail. The case engendered bitter strife. Some citizens openly accused officers of laxity in their investigation. Recently a court of inquiry, ordered by Gov. James V. Allred, recessed, subject to call, without announcing whether definite progress had been mad^, The court itself had difficulty in functioning because of legalities. Its presiding officer was charged thrice. Mrs. Blanton, a witness at the inquiry, said she was sure her husband and son were dead. She said she heard three shots fired in the direction of the lagoon shortly after the nten left home. Afraid to Talk/ • "V • A few officials and residents believe there are those who could clear up the case, but are afraid to talk. W. E. McCharen, county judge of Willacy county, is among those of this belief. That there is no intention of letting up in the investigation was seen in the following statement from Col. H. C. Carmidhael, chief of the Texas piUjlic safety department: 'While no tangible evidence has ever been uncovered, we are hopeful of solving the case and will never stop the investigation. One great difficulty was that fellow farmers trampled the ranch country in searching for the bodies and might have destroyed any signs left by the Blantons. Then, too, a heavy rain intervened before rangers began their search," Granted that it was murder, the bodies must be found before a conviction could be obtained under Texas laws. And so the story, its many ramifications making it almost a weekly headliner, continues, ebbing and flowing as rumors and developments pitch it to new heights when it appears to be dropping into t£e doldrums. v report of the Bureau of Internal Revenue by the National Instituteof Manufacturers and Distributors. Translated into terms of emergency work relief, the analysis shows revenue from beer was sufficient to keep more than 353,000 persons employed on WPA projects for the entire year while the revenue from all alcoholic beverages in 1937 would provide such employment for 734,000 persons, and was greater than the total federal contributions for work relief to Illinois and ten other Mid-Western states. The Institute also made the follow ing observations: "The alcoholic beverage industry was second in producing internal revenue during the past year, receipts from this source being exceeded only by income taxes. Federal revenue in 1937 from all alcoholic beverages was in excess of $687,800, 000. Total internal revenue amounted to $5,301,000,000 exclusive of $587,150,- 000 obtained in social security levies." "The 1937 beer revenue was equivalent to 20 per centeof the total internal revenue collections in 1932, the year preceding relegaliaation of malt beverages,. and the revenue from all alcohol* ic beverages equaled 41 per cent of the 1932 total. The brewing industry has paid the federal government more than $1,110,000,000 during the period 1933-1937, and the combined receipts from taxes on legal alcoholic beverages in that period amount to $2,128,- 000,000." RADIO SINGER ILL Friends who listened to the amateur hour over radio station WENR Sunday, between 5 and 6 p. m., expecting to hear George Vales were disappointed as the program ended without the announcement of the young man's name.

SNOWSTORM HITS CHICAGO^ McHenry received a light fall of snow Monday night, the first to arrive despite the fact that Chicago received three inches of snow Saturday. The snow and strong winds prevailed as far north as Elgin, but no snow fell in this vicinity. *fhe storm moved southeastward and many highways downstate Were drifted and traffic hazardous. Flying con<jitions were so poor that only two planes took off in Chicago and a thousand citj^ workmen were engaged in clearing loop streets of the snow, the second heaviest of the season in Chicago. The lengthening days are encouraging and bring a promise of spring, as does also the bright sun which shines only occasionally through heavy clouds. Sunrise is how due at 6:38 a. m., and the sun sets about 5:30 p. m., making the day appreciably longer.

Evidence showed that Menagas had stolen $3200 worth of electricity by diverting cur-' rent around the meter. The state was able to gain its first conviction for stealing electricity as the result"of a ruling of the State Supreme Court that electricity is personal property and its theft a crime. Be-' this, courts had considered elec- j '*een ® ?• ® P tricity was not of a sufficiently "tang- Prices Are As Tho# - r,,i ible ' nature to be stolen, and prosecu- ^ Were. tion could be based only on charges* ' of tampering with an electric meter which is a misdemeanor. Menagas was indicted a year ago but was freed when a motion to quash the indictment was sustained on the grounds that electricity was not tangible and could not be stolen. The question was then carried to the State Supreme Court where a reversal was won by Assistant States Attorney Robert Wright. '. It is expected that the state's victory in the Menagas case will have a widespread effect in preventing crimes of this type. 2 Persons for $4.00 up to $18- Singly For Up To $12.
