CATTLEMEN TO I
TRY TO SOLVE |
MEAT PROBLEM
-•
FORT WORTH, Texas, March 9 (by
Associated Press).—When the Texas
Cattle Raisers’ Association, often
termed “the richest organization per
capita in the world,” meets in Hous
ton on March 16, in annual session, a
solution of the meat price question
will be offered by a committee headed
by President W. W. Turney of El
Paso.
This committee is at work on a meat
market plan, modeled on a market
conducted at Amarillo last fall by cat
tlemeen, and which was declared a
success in so far as it reduced the
price to the consumer and helped the
cattlemeen, too. It was this Pan
handle experiment that led Marion
Sansom of Fort Worth, formerly presi
dent of the Texas association, to sug
gest the experiment for the entire
state.
Sansom also laid his plan before the
American National Livestock Associa
tion, which met in yearly conference
recently at Spokane.
It is the intention of the cattlemen’s
committee to recommeend that a chain
of retail markets be distributed
through Texas and that the cowmen
sell direct to them from the range,
the butcher shops doing their own
slaughtering.
Should the plan be adopted at the
Houston convention a committee must
be appointed to carry out the sug
gestion.
FINDS HIS SON AFTER
YEARS OF SEPARATION,
ONLY TO LOSE HIM AGAIN
DALLAS, Texas, March 9.—After
twenty years’ separation, Mrs. L. R.
Dawson of Dallas, saw her son in a
crowd on a downtown street here
just as he boarded a street car. She
called, but rumblig traffic drowned
out her voice, and now she has asked
the police to help her locate him. He
left home when 19 years old, and his
mother had not heard of him since.

IN THE GOOD OLD i
DAYS OF LOW PRICES
AMARILLO, Texas, March 9.—A
store-keeper’s ledger dating back to
1840 is in possession of H. M. Os
borne, of Amarillo, showing the prices

whiskey were sold at that time for
79 cents—and the purchaser was
given credit on the deal, too.
