and after studying with the fore-

After touring Europe extensive-
ly and appearing with the leading
symphonies of tjje Continent, she
came to the United States’ in 1937.
In addition to ha^ movtte, radio

and the Los Angeles Philharmonic
at Hollywood Bowl.

A wide selection of carpets and
room-size rugs may be had, too,
at the department store. Decora-
tors believe that a suitable carpet
or rug will do more to integrate a
room, or home, than any other
single item.
Such well-known carpet ma-
kers as Gulistan, Mohawk, Firth,
Magee and Bigelow-Sanford mar-
ket their wares through Mason’s,
and whether you like a subtly
etched pattern, or a carpet with an
embossed richness, you will find
really luxurious examples in far-
flung color scopes in both Wilton
twist and Axminister. weaves.
Contrary to a wide-spread be-
lief, the designation “Wilton” or
“Axminister” is not a kind of rug,
but reveals, instead, the method
of weaving. ' ■ •
The Wilton, not necessarily a
high pile weave, is achieved
through the use of jacquard looms,
and for every tuft on the right
side of the carpet or rug, there are
two or three down-tufts. The Ax-
minister, woven in rows, is quality
judged by the number of rows
used. According to J. G. Stacy,
Mason’s manager, the best prob-
able buy in the Axminister weave
is the 7 2-3. row rug, which is
about equal in price and quality
to the two-frame Wilton.
The Glamour-Rug, also is stock
at the local store, is a long wearing
inexpensive floor covering, a col-
orful addition to any room.

’ From M. C. Jaynes, extension
S specialist in organization and mar-
keting of Texas A M College,
comes the information that farm
business in Texas was good last
year as far as farm cooperatives
were concerned. Fifty-three Tex-
as Farm Cooperatives paid back
their loans in full, and many oth-
ers made pretty good sized pay-
ments to reduce their debts.
Mr. Jaynes said, “During 1948,
the Houston Bank for Cooperatives
lent more than 28 million dollars
to 173 farmers cooperatives serv-
ing 114 thousand farm and ranch
families.’*

operatives to gin their cotton,

Mr. Bates said that many farm-

this year, grain producers might

“Wash, drain and cap the ber-

sugar-syrup, mix three cups of
sugar and four cups of water. Fill
the containers with berries and
cover them with cold syrup, put
the cover on and place them in
in the quick freezing compart-
ment at 20 degrees.....to freeze
