A TIME FOR REASON
We don’t know whether a world
’ v,r"
in which all human acts were
governed by reason 'would be a
pleasant world to live in or not.
We rather suspect that it might
lack a great many of the elements
which make life, for most people,
rather pleasant on the whole* A
work! governed by pure reason
would, perhaps, be rather monoto-
nous.
We haven’t any doubt, however
about what the world would be
like if reason were thrown over-
board and everybody acted upon
emotional impulses. The only wo*d
which can describe such a state
of human affairs is chaos. There
could he no government, no com-
mon purpose, order and discipline
would be gone with the winds.
The only way a nation can get
along with its neighbors and the
people of the nation get along
with each other is by a judicious
niixture of reason with emotion.
The greatest danger to any nation
is to let the collective emotional
impulses of its people run away
with their reason.
That is something to think
about, to keep ip mind in times
like—these. There is no question
whatever that the emotional sym-
pathies of the American people
are preponderantly with England
and France against Hitler and
Stalin.
Out of that emotional tendency
may come such encouragenasn! to
those who hope to profit personal-
ly, financially or politically from
war, that forces may be set in
motion to play upon our sym-
pathies and move us as a people
to get into the war ourselves.
Every American needs more
than anything else today to bring
all the power of reason to the
control of thoughts and acts. For
nothing is more certain than that,
if we let our emotions run away
with us and take a hand in the
European struggle, beyond selling
supplies to any buyer who can
pay for them and take them affray,
we are heading straight for the
ruin of ourselves and our children,
whether the side with which we
sympathise wins or loses.

FIRE GETS THE JUMP
Fire, the great destroyer, is
getting the jump on us again.
Dflring the first nine months of
last year total fire loss was about
$216,000,000. This year, loss for
the first nine months is estimated
at almost $234,000,000, a rise oi
$18,000,000. That rise alone, dis-
regarding the total, would pay for
9,000 homes costing $2,000 each;
give employment to 18,000 men at
a wage of more than $80 per
month, Tor build 1,800 miles of
highway at a cost of $10,000 per
mile.
In these totals of tragic, useless
the thoughtful reader will
a challenge and an oppor-
Ay in October the na-
rved Fire Prove:

of the
went In one ear and out the other.
But if a substantial nunibef of
Americans took the lessons to
heart, and reflected on the fact
that, fire prevention is every man’s
problem, the Week will prove to
have been a banner date in the
history of this country.
If you’re still not sure how to
help in fire prevention, go today
to your fire department, insur-
ance agent or interested civic or-
ganization. Put what you learn
into practice. It will cost you little
or nothing—and it wHT pay gfi
gantic dividends m safety ari^

FOR REMEMBRANCE
The Girl, Scout national conven
tion brought forth a splendid ex-
hibition of over 100 samplers.
From all parts of the fcountry
and each with its original pattern
these samplers were judged. Some
of them wete on linen woven and
wools dyed by the young needle-
women. Our vote goes to this
organization for furthering an
interest in the old art that dates
way back beyond the days of
Teague greatgrandmothers. We
cherish those samplers made by
our ancestors not only for their
material value, but because we
are a very sentimental people. Wo
think of the hands that moved
over the linen, the needle that was
guided up and down as the colors
and figures took form. Each old
sampler weaves a personality in
its threads.

THE USUAL SUPPLY
We are glad to hear that local
merchants and manufacturers do
not expect more war toys than
is usual, this Christmas. The trend
will be “toy models^ of national
defense equipment”, using the
words of the toy manufacturers.
Of course the young will want
models of the airships and battle-
ships they see in pictures and
hear talked about. The usual toy
soldiers will be lined up for battle
on many a living-room carpet wifh
miniature guns drawn for the
fight. What else can be expected
of youth when war seems the
main topic of adult conversation-!

THE CHRONICLE’S
Weekly Scrapbook
Week’s Best Recipe:
Cranberry Tapioca: 3-4 cup
granulated tapioca, V» t salt, 3 Vi
c boiling water, 1 pint cranberries,
to c water, to c sugar. Cook
tapioca, salt and boiling water
together until clear. Cook cran-
berries in water until soft and add
to tapioca with the sugar. Cook
five minutes, pour into a wet
mold, chill and serve with whipped
cream.
Decarat* Your Table: -
Make your center piece for the
thanksgiving table in season. Dip
colorful leaves in melted paraffin
and lay them around a wooden
bowl filled with gourds or small
squash . . . Dip grapes in white
of egg, then into granulated
sugar. Let them dry without
touching anything, if possible.
Heap bunches of frosted grapes
around a small pumpkin. To
pile the frosted grapes en a table
mirror is also very effective.
Stuffing:
Approximately half a cup of
stuffing is the correct amount of
stuffing for each pound of meat
or fowl It is a good plan to have
a little extra stuffing Bince it
may be. baked separately in a
casserole dish. •
Hint For Babies:
Unless the baby’s milk bottles
are completely covered by water
when sterilized they will not be
germ-proof. Have at least three
inches of water above the "bottles
when starting to hoil. If bottles
bob in water, weight them down.
For Fat:
Do not throw your extra fat
from cooking down the sink. Put
it in a can. The pouring of fat
down the sink will lead to plumb-
ing bills and can he more easily
disposed of when poured into the
can instead. '
Inspirational:
As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord is tried: he
is a buckler to all them that
trust in him.

Food Fads
Food is as necessary for the
maintenance of life, as a center
Is to s ’circle, for it produces
energy, develops bodily heat and
replaces wom out and broken
down cells—in addition to pro-
viding blood, muscle and bone.
Hunger is as natural an in-
stinct as the desire to" sleep and
nothing gives one as complete a
picture of the social progress of
mankind as a study of his eating
habits from the earliest time to
the present.
Primitive men ate the meat of
wild animals, birds, repitles, raw
fish and insects, adding to this
diet berries, fruits, ‘ roots - and
grains.
When it was learned that a bit
of flint when struck would pro
duce fire, they began to cook
their victuals, v^nd that marked
the beginning of a great social
development for the human family^
A rough code of etiquette resulted
which has been added to through-
out the centuries by customs
which various peoples inaugurat-
ed.
The creation of new and novel
dishes from the different food re-
sources of localities was respon-
sible for many so-called national
dishes.
Men consequently became more
intimate and formed the habit of
eating together at their homes
and attending banquts. - Once
bread was broken between two
men, friendly relation! were es-
tablished which ultimately resul-
ted in the formation of tribes,
nations and countries.
Many of our current supersti-
tions were originally based upon
foods, as it was believed that
certain types of victuals produced
special devils, while others elimi-
nated them.
The year 2,500 B. C. marks
the advent of the first food fad-
dists, for a group of Egyptians
then began the custome of fast-
ing three days each month to
“eliminate poisons and food devils
from the system."
The Roman Emperor Augustus
always carried a crust of bread
which he was continually munch-
ing, even when he rode in his
chariot. Senaca invariably ate
standing. His supper consisted 6f
dry bread and water.
Thousands followed their exam-
ples. The Church recommended
fasting and prayer as a cure-all
for ailments of the body and soul.
Religious enthusiasts have fasted
for months.
In New York City, an eccentric
Physician named Tanner, 51 years
of age, once subsisted on water
for forty days, being supervised
the entire time by a committee.
I recall as an interne, going in
the ambulance to the White
House, to find seated on the floor
of the famous East Room, an
emaciated woman,: who had man-
aged to gain entrance to the
great edifice, during the night.
Over her body were pasted hun-
dreds of leaves from a prayer
book. She refused food when 1
got her to the hospital and told
me she had eaten nothing for a
month, which I believed.
Her purpose in getting into the
Executive Mansion was to obtaTn
the President’s aid in carrying
out a nation-wide fast to purge
it from its sins.
Most food faddists and
abstainers, become so
food
through
reading advertisements written by
men endeavoring to market cer-
tain comestibles.
The claims they make some-
times ar untruthful and unscienti-
fic. People who follow what they
advocate often develop indiges-
tion, other stomach and intestinal
ailments. J
The right way to live is to eat
whatever wholesome 1 food you
prefer, and a mixed diet of fish,
fowl, meat, vegetables, fruits and
bread will provide you with the
proper amount of necessary vi-
tamins in -a palatable form at
reasonable prices.
MORE ABOUT IT
Each issue of the paper brings
to readers of Teague new data
concerning the much discussed
celebrating of Thanksgiving on
different daya( in varied states.
The most recent idea is the one
propounded in a Wisconsin county
where Thanksgiving Is to be com-
memorated for eight days, from
Nov. 23 through Nov. 30. It would
not hurt any of us to remain
thankful for eight days in a row
and after all .those who celebrate
on Nov. 23 will probably stiTl be
eating turkey leftovers on the
30th.

GROWERS TRY NEW
STRAINS OF CELERY
Combine High Quality and
- Disease Resistance.
By K. A. EMERSON
Celery growers are testing four
new strains of cross-bred celery this
spring, combining high quality and
disease-resistance of the parent
stocks.
Developed by the joint efforts of
the departments of plant breeding
and vegetable crops at Cornell, the
new strains are a cross of the old
Golden self-branching variety with
the high quality and disease resist-
ant green variety Giant Pascal: The
growers have selected four strains
for trial
The new (trains are said to be
highly resistant to the yellow fun-
gus, a serious celery disease in New
York sfate. Though not all the cel-
ery land in the East is infested with
the fungur causing the disease, the
affected areas are extending more
widely ever$-year. »
However, If growers continue to
raise varieties that are susceptible
to this disease, most of 'the - muck
land suitable~for celery production
will be infested before many years.
The cross-bred celery has better
quality than most of the celery on
the market today, he says. The
plants were bred on the basis of
length of stalk, thickness of stalk,
and firmness; the resulting strains
form thick stalks of celery that are
"less stringy.”

Poultrymen who pedigree breed-
ing are confronted each year’with
the problem of keeping breeding
males In good condition from one
breeding season to the next
Since the progeny test is the basis
of progressive poultry breeding op-
erations, it is necessary that all
males tested during their first year
be kept until their breeding worth is
determined. It Is discouraging to
discover that the best male, ac-
cording to performance of his
daughter in toe laying house, has
been beaten up by his mates during
toe summer months and cannot be
used again for breeding purposes.
F. P. Jeffrey, instructor in poultry
husbandry at toe New Jersey col-
lege of agriculture, Rutgers-univer-
sity, says that because of their ten-
dency to fight each other, it is un-
wise to allow male birds to run
together in any large number un-
less they have access to a very large
range which also provides a certain
number of hideouts where toe male
can take refuge.
“A better system,’’ Jeffrey
says, “Is to allow toe males to run
with females. It has been observed
at the experiment station that three
males with 100 females generally
works out satisfactorily'. This prac-
tice, however, is not desirable from
toe standpoint of aale of market
eggs unless the eggs ere given Im-
mediate cooling and retailad as
quickly as possible.
*Tn case a valuable male breeder
haa been detected, it is worth while
to keep him in a roomy, individual
cage equal In size to one used for
stud mating. The extra labor re-
quired In caring for him la well
spent if he can be kept In good
physical condition for toe next
breeding season.”
Industrial Cycles Are
Important to Farmers
Some of the nation’s most impor-
tant industries are “cyclical” in na-
ture; their booms and poor timas
come in cycles, according to G. E.
Brandow of the department of ag-
ricultural economics, Cornell univer-
sity.
He cited buildings, textiles, end
automobiles as the principal exam-
ples of industries that show these pe-
riods of activity and inactivity.
"The importance of industrial cy-
cles to toe farmer,” he stated, “is
mostly their part in causing changes
in total business activity, which, in
turn, influence the demand for many
farm products. A long cycle in
building is most important; its influ-
ence can be detected in toe price of
eggs and milk and in farm prices
generally.”
Mr. Brandow said toe moat Impor-
tant influence on profits in farming
la the general level at which prices
fluctuate or change. Industrial cy-
cles and business activity do not
cause changes In toe general level
of prices, he said, but they do ex-
plain many of the short-time ups-
and-downs in prices and the time at
which major changes occur in price
