Ray Wyatt, the congenial proprietor of the Table Rock store, has given us a 1958 copy of The Old Farmers Al manac, established in 1792 and wanted us to decipher it, and tell him what kind of weather to expect during the month of February.

However, St. Valen tine's Day, Feb. 14, which Ray probably is the most inter ested in, will be cold and fair. If Ray is not satisfied with this, he will have to wait until Ground Hog Day. Don Seegmiller, who has been employed for some time on the Table Top Ranch, is laid up with an injured -leg as a result of a horse falling on him during a cattle round up. Field mice have become more plentiful this winter than for sometime, and are so numerous that cats, barn owls, skunks and coyotes, can't seem to make a dent in the local mouse population.

A farmer, in Market Activity May Be Determined By Day and Month By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York (IP) Well, what's the stock market going to do today? question mar ket men al ways used to say: "It will open at 10 a.m. and close at 3 p. m." They revised that statement some years Elmer Walzer ago to read "open at 10 a.m. and close at 3:30 p.m." And, of course, J. P. Mor gan, the elder, always used to reply to the query: "It will fluctuate." Now. the answer is a ques tion "What day is this? If it's Monday the odds are three to one the market will de cline. If it's Wednesday, the odds are three to one the mar ket will rise. Friday Minus Edge If it's Thursday, the chances are even for a rise or de cline. Tuesday shows a slight edge on plus signs and Fri day a slight edge on minus. And then, too, it depends on the month. The market usual ly rises in January with the previous year's year-end rally carrying over. It has a gain usually in March. Also in July and November with a better than good chance of a rise in August, and Decem ber. The chances of a decline are good for February and September. April, October, May, and June are about even in gains and losses over the years. Over the years, there has been an upward tendency if one ignores the'peaks and val leys. This rise Is supposed to allow in part for inflation TREASURY RELAXES Indianapolis, Ind. (in state auditors and treasury officials were happy today that Davies County Prosecu tor Dean H.

The market has performed according to a pat tern by days and months. Bui guessing what will do over the years isn't easy. Buy at Right Time Of course, those who can wait out their markets usual ly win over the years, the experts assert. The thing to do is buy the right stocks at the right time and then sit back and wait keeping an eagle eye on the management, and the trend of the times while waiting. New inventions of tomorrow can nullify the good things of today. Right now, the experts call the near-term market position most conflicting. Even the bulls warn that one must be highly selective. They favor choosing for purchase issues where the bad news is out in in the open and some bright spots are ahead. UK CHIEF KILLED United Nations, N.
