TOURISTS FIND WAY
TO BEAT H. C. l.. WITH
M0THERLESS LAMBS

There are several ways to
beat the high cost of living.
one is adopting lost lambs on
the mesa. The lambs, one AL
buquerque citizen admits, are
friendly little animals. Often
they stray from the parental
presence and follow tourists
into the city.
1t is impractical to raise
them to be big sheep, so they
are used to make a good meal,
A fair sized leg of lamb costs
two or three dollars. The legs
that follow you in cost nothing.
Simple, isn't it?

one share at par shall be delivered, and
that payment shall be made at same

The business of the company is such

consideration at present levels?-E. F. r.
Answer We do not pretend to know
, what the future holds for Sinclair Oil
stock. We do know that at $50 a
share and higher great things were ex-
pected of it. Since then the stock has
dropped many points, and now the com
pany floats $50,000000 of notes and
creates an issue Of preferred stock.
Both Rock Island and Missouri Pacific
