Owners of these cars will not be charged for a full year but will be required to pay according to the expiration date of their out- of-state licenses or for the remain ing time until April 1.

Owner of $21,000 Champion Picks A&M for Education Twenty-one thousand dollars is lots of money to a thirteen year old boy when it comes to deciding how to spend a newly acquired fortune. But Andrew Tatsch, 4-H Club member from Crabapple, has plans of his own for the money paid him for his grand champion steer at the San Antonio Livestock Exposition last week. The first expenditure from his now bulging pockets will go to finance an education at A&M. He says he wants to be a rancher and A&M is the logical place to learn about the business he has already proved prosperous in. The $21,000 was paid Andrew by B. B. McGimsey, re presentative from a San Antonio Brewing Company and is believed to be some kind of record for prices paid for the grand champion steer by Exposition officials in the Alamo City. McGimsey’s price tops the $17,000 paid by oilman, Glenn McCarthy recently for the Houston Fat Stock Show grand champion steer. Before leading the prize steer into the arena, Andrew told friends he hoped to get between $2,000 and $3,000 for the animal. ‘Cranky Wife Hit on Head WithHammei Dallas, Tex., Feb. 27 — (A*) — A Dallas man was put under a $50,- 000 peace bond not to strike his wife any more with a sledge ham mer.

So when the weather looked threatening I hit her with a sledce hammer.” The woman is now in a Dallas hospital with head injuries. Richhurg levied a jail sentence and the peace bond. “The next time you hit her,” the justice warned, “you’ll either pay $50,000 or lay it out in jail.” Physics Building To Get New Wing Work on a three story addition to the Physics Building will begin within the next 30 days, according to C.
