The prices paid in last week end's orgy of buying were the highest recorded since the boom days of 1928 and 1929. The market, which appeared sluggish Wednesday of last week when Schreiner Wool Mohair Commission Co. rejected all bids on 100,000 pounds of mohair at a sealed bid sale, blew wide open a few hours later when the pioneer Hill Country firm sold 100,000 pounds of hair at 54 cents for grown Dr.

years, the Schreiner sale was the first major warehouse deal of the season and established a market price. Within 24 hours a million pounds was sold and one man was doing the lion's share of the buying. He was Tom Richey, representing A. W. Hilliard Son of Boston, who struck quickly at practically every warehouse center in the West Texas area and left competitive buyers empty-handed.

There had been a month's lull in the mohair trade for a month before the Schreiners set the pace by turning loose of 100,000 pounds at 54 and 64 cents. The following day the market rose to a cent higher and by Friday another 100,000 pounds of mohair was sold in Kerrville. On Monday another 140,000 pounds sold at 55c and 65c. Approximately 12 per cent of the sales here was kid hair, and the total sales of 340,000 pounds cf mohair during the past week brought approximately $190,000 into the bank accounts of ranchmen in Kerrville and vicinity.

Once arrived and properly registered for adjoining rooms in hotel, one of the Kerrville delegates went down-town on an errand. While he was away, his two playful playmates lighted a gas stove in his room.

At the proper hour for convention delegates to retire, the two culprits retired and feigned the sleep of the righteous. From the adjoining room there came the faint rustling of a man wrestling with a problem, and finally there stepped into the room a harrassed young man with large' beads of perspiration falling from his troubled brow. "Boys," says he, "this is the; blankety-blank hottest blankety town I was ever sentenced to spend a night in." Followed guffaws and a terrific pillow fight.

Registration is still incomplete and an estimated 10 per cent increase in enrollment will bring a total of over 1,500 when all pupils have classified. Last year, the enrollment was 1,369 three weeks after school had opened.

A great number of the elementary, Mexican and negro pupils have not yet registered. First day enrollment figures for Junior and Tivy High Schools were already greater than the 1935 totals. Enrollment figures released Wednesday afternoon from the office ot Supt. H. A.

Moore were: Elementary, 528; junior high, 367; Tivy high, 233; Mexican, 60; negro about 65. Last year's total figures were: Tivy. 212; junior high, 237; elementary, 730; negro. 85; Mexican, 105. Greatest increase in the enrollment this year over last year is in the junior high school division, where 130 more pupils have enrolled than was shown a year ago.

Looking toward this increase in the student body, the Board of Education has erected a frame structure in front of the gymnasium to relieve crowded conditions. It is to house the cafeteria and one class room. By moving the cafeteria, two ample class rooms can be added in the elementary school building. Another step in relieving crowded conditions is the moving of the agricultural department to the Boy Scout Hall. INSPECT FAT CALVES T- I factual coincidences from history, Carl A.
