Lee County led with 72 carloads, Bur leson second with 66, and Fayette third with 44. A total of 418 cars was bought in the 17 counties, in cluding 243, or more than half of the total, of feed wheat; 106 of maize, and 70 of mixed feeds, corn, cottonseed or soybean meals, ci trus pulp, etc. Bowles points out, however, that the total savings for Texas will not be 12 times the total for District 11 because of the heavy livestock feeding program in that district and because it imports a greater proportion of its feed than some other sections of the state. Con servatively, he estimates that co operative purchases of feed in Texas would equal six times the total for District 11. That would amount to an estimated 2,600 car loads and a grand total saving to Texas farmers of $1,144,500. Brazos County farmers set up a cooperative to handle buying of feed. They have bought a ware house and plan to provide them selves with equipment for grinding and mixing feeds. He who slings the most mud, looses the most ground. If the power to do hard work is not talent, it is the best possible substitute for it. The angriest person in a contro versy is the one most liable to be in the wrong.

A new government con servation order means there will be an increase in the output of clothing for women and children from the available supply of cot ton, rayon, and wool. For the duration women can ex pect to be well dressed in simple clothing says Mrs. Dora R. Barnes, clothing specalist for the A. & M. College Extension Service. She explains that the control on skirt materials for dresses is planned so that peg-top skirts and evening skirts will be narrowed down. And to help save material, trimming allowances will be figured on the square inches of fabric in a dress. Bows, ruffles, revers, jabots, and the like are restricted in wid th and thickness, and cuffs are to be made with only two buttons and button holes. For two-piece suits, double-breasted fronts and bi-swing backs have been aban doned on jackets. Pockets have been limited to two, although more flaps for more “false” pockets are permissible. The specialist says culottes, as well as reversible, lined or quilted skirts are gone for the duration. There are other changes in fab rics which homemakers may ex p^ct. For instance, percale and dress goods that weigh four oun ces per yard with a thread count of 80 in the warp and 80 in the filling may no longer be made for civilian use. These mater ials — favorites among home makers fo* chilren’s clothes and house dresses—are needed for the manufacture of such things as underwear for the armed forces and surgical goods. —EUDALY— (Continued From Page 1) added. If it is drier than this add enough water to make the silage feel damp when a handful is squeezed. In filling a trench silo the pack ing can be done with a tractor or horses. He who has taught only by him self had a fool for a teacher. He who works has the right to criticize. Ability is a poorman’s wealth. —CIRCLING— (Continued From Page 3) take off for classes, the incident was discovered by the Corporals who went to the Squadron Com mander with tears in their eyes, pleading with him to get some men to help them restore their “car” to mother earth. Several volunteers quickly placed the mighty little vehicle safely on the ground. It could have been the ants or gremlins who put the Austin on the rails. However, it is our theory that the man of the squad ron may have placed it there, while policing the grounds earlier that morning, thinking they discovered a pile of tin Which should have been removed and placed on the rails so no one would trip on it. Approximately fifty more pairs of shoes are pro'Udly lined up on the floor of Bizzell Hall awaiting repairs. These shoes range in size from small “Primary Trainers’N to huge “Flying Fortresses.” Several of the men are happier now that their wives are at Col lege Station. Many more men are ■expecting their wives in the near future. “A word to the wise is suffic ient,” so men be sure to drag aside a sun tan and have it cleaned and pressed for the big Wing dance coming up July 16th. We hope to see you here again, two days nearer victory. J2ovj<lovirn on Campus distractions The feature distraction for To day, tomorrow, and Saturday at the Campus is Paramount’s REAP THE WILD WIND, one of pro ducer Cecil B. DeMille’s best. Here is definitely a show. It has a historical background with the scenes at Charleston and Key West, Florida. Raymond Massey is the head of a piratical business con cerned with the salvaging of wreck ed vessels on the treacherous Flo rida keys. When the vessels don’t wreck themselves, they are wreck ed via villainous sea captains and their mates. Paulette Goddard, who looks swell in a sweater and o-la-la in Technicolor, takes the feminine lead supported by glamorous Su san Hayward. John Wayne is the sea-faring man gone wrong, while Ray Milland plays the part of a fighting Charleston sea lawyer. The show contains lots of gun- totin’ and a peach of an undersea fight with a giant squid. The Lowdown: Super-collosal. At Guion Hall today and tomor row is an oldie, NO TIME FOR COMEDY, starring Rosalind Rus sell and James Stewart. This is the story of a small town Johnny who goes to the big city.

We are sorry to lose our friend, Sergeant Gralla, who left us brief ly on an emergency furlough. Hope to see “Sergeants weren’t born to be loved” Gralla back again soon. Sergeant Paris informs us that he will take care of all the trouble you formerly took to Mr. Anthony. Any trouble of the heart or mind or even questions regarding your training will be cheerfully answer ed by him. He promises to do everything but issue T. S. slips. His only request—please, no tears. Comment of the week: “If I dood it I get a tour.” Moral: Don’t Dood it, or you will be a “tourist”. — Sgt. Paris. The men of Squadron II are really on the beam this week and are' trying their utmost to win tLe ribbons for thier mess formations. Keep up the good work, fellows. It’s coming the 16th of July. The next Wing Ball is to be held on that date and promises to be the best yet. Any student officer who shows up minus a date will be subjected to very severe (?) punishment. Watch this column for the nanles^ Houston has been declared an open city for this coming week end. Thye have finaly gotten paid and promise to keep the city alive. Where have we heard that before?

Being of an industrious' nature Mac had little time for sports, as he worked at various jobs after school and on weekends. After leaving school he accepted a position with the JUST PHONE 2-6725 FLOWERS FOR “HER” at the Navy-Marine Corps DANCE SATURDAY NIGHT We will make city deliveries— just phone us and we’ll fix a lovely corsage for your date for the Dance Saturday.

News Co. as a District Manager and held this position for three years. In September 1940 he resigned and accepted a position with the local office of the Rail way Express where he remained for over a year. A few days after the treacherous attack on Pearl Harbor Mac vol unteered for the Army Air Corps and was sent to Keesler Field for his basic training. In the early part of February 1942 he was transferred to Scott Field, Illinois to take a six month’s course in radio mechanics. Finishing this course in the latter part of July he was assigned to a Bomber Com mand at Salt Lake City, Utah. Af ter several weeks he was put on detached service and sent to the Walla Walla Air Base in Wash ington. By this time Mac had risen to the rank of Sergeant and was a qualified radio repair man. Within the nekt two months Mc Carthy was shipped to Sioux City, Iowa, and then to Mitchell Field, South Dakota, where he was in charge of the Bombing and Gun nery ranges in South Dakota. In the early part of January, 1943, he returned to Sioux City and was selected to go with a new Cadre to organize the Grand Island Air Base. While there he served as chief of communications. In April 1943 he was accepted as an Avia tion Cadet Applicant and sent to Sheppai-d Field and then to Col lege Station. A/S McCarthy is a very studious person and likes army life. His favorite sports are auto racing, swimming, football, and baseball while he has a very distinct dis like for basketball. Mac doesn’t smoke and never drinks coffee or tea, but at the same time retains the Irish flair for liking a spot of something strong now and then. His.main ambition is to become a pilot, preferrably of a B-17, and he hopes some day fo rejoin his old outfit as a flyer. The Bomber group to which he was assigned is the same one that last fall re ceived an award for being the fin est bomber group in the Air Corps. By the determined way in which Mac does everything that is ex pected of him, we feel sure that he will help to live up to the repu tation of his former comrades. On the behalf of all of his associates we wish him the best of every thing. —SPOTLIGHT— (Continued From Page 3) two games in the league race, Squadron II finally registered in the win column with an impressive victory over Squadron I. The de feat bumped the loosers from un disputed first place to a tie with Squadron V. Squadron II was the first to mark in the run column in the high scoring contest as they chased across a pair of counters in the last half of the second. Ed Martin walked to open the inning and J. Platt got a hit to right cen ter on which he circled the bases for an early two run lead. Squad ron I manufactured a run in their half of the third frame and Squad ron II kept pace as they counted another to make the score read 3-1 at the end of the third. The fourth inning was wild and wooly for both teams and the game was decided in that inning. A series of hits and two errors helped Squad ron I take a 4-3 lead in their turn at bat. However, in the last half of the fourth the winners started a merry-go-round that did not stop before six runs had crossed the plate. The score stood 9-4 at the end of the fourth. Squadron II put two men on bases with suc cessive hits in the fifth with none out, but John Marnett, winning pit cher made the next three men pop out to end the game. Squadron V and Squadron HI broke the league tie they were in as the former took a close decision 2-1. The game was a pitchers bat tle all the way with each hurler giving up but one hit. The game rocked along scoreless for the first three frames and it was in the first half of the fourth inning that Elik, Squadron III centerfielder, con nected for a home run to count the only run for the losers. Squad ron V came back strong in their half of the fourth frame and McCloud walked Stewart and Broyles, the fir^t two batters to face him. Whiznuta then came through with a smashing double to deep center driving Stewart was issued the third free pass of the inning and McCutcheon drove a long fly to deep left to drive across the winning score. McCloud then bore down and retired the side in order but it was one run late as the losers failed to cunt in their last turn at the plate. Stewart was the winning pitcher. Squadrn IIII has picked a name for their softball team and they have chosen “Beavers”. This is a cue for other teams and they should have a name choosen for their organization by the latter part of the week. Rumor has it that Squadron V is going to call their softball ten the “Rabbits” however, this is not official.
