Former Justice Free Of Obligation
CHICKASHA OKLA UP Former Peace Justice Calvin Strother of Chickasha was free of an obligation to Grady county Tuesday. Court records showed a payment of 750 was accepted last week as full settlement in a civil case filed after an audit disclosed a shortage in Strother's accounts. County Attorney Wilson Smithen said county commissioners Monday adopted a resolution to accept the 750 as full settlement in the case, upon Smithen's advice. The discrepancy, which Strother said was unintentional, amounted to a deficit of 3741, a final audit showed. Strether paid the county 2000 last October and moved to another city. He offered to make up the difference upon completion of a final audit.

Farmers Share Of Profits Down
The Agriculture Department reported that the farmer kept 62 cents of every consumer beef dollar in 1955, down from 70 cents in 1949. Marketing margins reflect services by marketing agencies, with rising processing costs and transportation. Retail prices stayed relatively flat while farm cattle prices moved, narrowing margins in late 1954 but widening in 1955.
