4 RANCHERs
Study Of Texas Industry
Shows Conditions
3 Are Improving. 5.

WASHINGTON, Aug. although
the range cattle industry seems to be
headed toward better times, it has MT
yet shaken off the effects of four
years of depression.
A study by the Department OF Az
riculture of production costs on 40
ranches in Texas shows that in the
last four years, taxes and interest
have exceeded the profits.
Detailed figures were obtained for
1928 when the range cattle industry
was perhaps at the low point OF the
depression.
In 1923 only Is of the 40 ranches
made a profit.
They averaged IL per cent on their
Investment.
But this profit did not allow ANY
wage for the operators.
One ranch earned SO per cent on
its investment, and one "a per cent,
before deducting wage for the or
orators.
The other ranches showing a profit
had q return Of less than 1 per cent.
Twenty-Five of the 40 ranches OPP
Grated on an average loss Of $3.50
per year, or Al per cent on their in
vestment.
A few ranches broke even, while
one ranch lost as much as IA per
cent on its investment.
Averaging the showing of the 40
ranches. there was a net loss of 10
per cent on the aggregate investment.
Taxes and interest together alb
sorhed 5e.S per cent of gross income.

 Webber s Years Old
 John H. Webber, a well known figure about Berlin. will observe the 18th anniversary of his birth on April 2S. Mr. Webber is care taker of the property on which the sol- diers' monument stands and he is known and liked by all Berlin people.
 MT. Webber was born in Berlin and has lived here all his life, ex- cept for about three months. He was born in the house now occupied by Bryan II. Atwater, an old struc- ture dating bacgk to the early days of the town. This house is perhaps ore of the oldest in Berlin, if not the oldest. Mr. Webber attended the district school in town and, while still boy started to learn the tin trade. Berlin at that time was known throughout New England for the manufacture of tinware. How ever, that trade did not hold much for MT. Webber. The owners of the firm died and the business changed hands.
 He left the company and entered th estore of H. M. Galpin as a clerk. That store is still standing and Is now occupied by E. E. Honss' gro- cery store. It is a brick building and of sturdy construction. MT. Webber was a clerk for several years and then he took the position of mail carrier, It was his duty 10 carry mail between the Berlin post office and the railroad station in Kensington.
 That was before the days of auto mobile and troEieys, of course, and a team of horses, driven by Mr.. Webber made the trip between Ken sington and Berlin street several times a day.
