Albert Cagle went to the Caglo
home the other day and barked
at the front door. George auto-

door. He went to the kitchen
and barked again George went
and gave the dog water. Just as
George got comfortable again
Shotsie barked again. This time
"he was waiting at the door to
be let out. George then re-
marked to Alberta "These dogs
Tiave begun dropping in for a
drink just like our grandsons."

We are indebted to Cotton
Economic Research at the Uni-
versity of Texas for tracing the
value of percale sheets made
from one bale of cotton. They
figure the farm-gin value of the
bale at $107.75 (SLM 1-182").
The value of the bale at the mill
was $305.83 and at the retail
store the 212 percale sheets
were worth $089.00 (averace
price $3.25 for the 81"xl08"
