Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie Hutchins
have been entertaining a 10-lb. boy,
since last Sunday.
If he does $5,000 per month, then 20% out of every dollar must be
mark-up—that is, he must sell groceries that cost him 80c for $1.00. But
if he can sell $10,000 per month, then he can give you groceries that
cost him 90c for your dollar and still have his $1,000 per month.
And everyone knows that stores which advertise do more business than
those which do not. That’s why you get more for your money from
them.
House Wheat — A 890,419,000-bushel
committee in retaining the Brooking yield, slightly above average and 42
per cent above last year, but includ-
ing much grain that “will give a low
yield of flour.”
Rye — A 51,869,000-bushel yield,
about double last year and one-third
above average.
Rice — A 50,508,000-bushel yield,
largest crop since 1920.

additional makers will offer automat-
ic gear shifting as optional equip-
ment; Ford will make more changes
in the 85 than in the smaller 60 mod-
el, with the idea of further covering
the field from the lowest to the high-
est ranges; along with this is a per-
sistent report that the Chrysler Cor-
poration is considering a new smaller
model.
There are also growing rumors that
because of competitive conditions the
switch over to 1938 production will
be the quickest in the. history of mo-
: torcar manufacture. Against this,
however, is the fact that the Ford
Company has had one three weeks’
shutdown period without changing
models. Presumably it must suspend
operations for another period when
it completes assemblies of the cur-
rent models.

DETROIT.—This is the season of
the year when the motorcar indus-
try’s cloak of secrecy is drawn tight-
est about its activities. It is the period
when most manufacturers are wind-
ing up 1937 model production and
preparing to swing into the assem-
bling of the 1938 types.
So keen is the competition that
the car makers are doing their ut-
most to prevent competitors from
learning the slightest detail concern-
ing new model design. There is also
the necessity of providing some time
for the distribution division to clear
its floors of current types. Thus the
exact date of the introduction of new
types is being withheld by producers
until each make can be presented si-
multaneously by dealers in all sec-
tions of the country.
This policy means that the produc-
tion lines of each manufacture!- are
actually in next year’s model output
a fortnight or more before the sales
divsion is ready to place the newer
types officially on sale. It means al-
so that a great deal of guessing is
done concerning features of the new
models long before they are in pro-
duction.
Before the new models are ready
to move down the assembly, lines Institution to make a survey,
they have been made up in wood and
clay from which the general appear-
ance of the car is determined. Me-
chanically the tests and inspections
are made in the laboratories and
proving grounds, with the power
plant concealed under a nondescript
hood and the transmission camou-
flaged by the body of a vehicle long
out of production.
Guessing concerning the new mod-
els goes something like this: Several
of the new types will have improved

WASHINGTON. — John L. Lewis
today carried his political divergence
from the new deal one step farther
by warning that the Democratic par-
ty is unable to carry out campaign
pledges and that “we are witnessing
a major test of our governmental sys-
tem.”
The Lewis pronouncement, im-
pelled by failure of Congress to enact
wages-hours legislation, was issued
by labor’s Nonpartisan League, a
possible vehicle of third, party politi-
cal maneuvers.
The next indication of the labor
leader’s plans is expected to be un-
folded in a speech Sept. 3.
Lewis, during the summer, quietly
seized control of the league and
turned it into a “political arm” of his
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
tion. This maneuver was accom-
plished through the ouster of Spnator
WASHINGTON. — The postoffice
department says the recent convic-
tions of 24 persons in connection with
promotion of a mythical “Baker” es-
tate had broken up a swindle which
netted its promoters $1,000,000.
Postal inspectors said persons in
every state, Canada, Mexico and
Cuba had been duped into believing
they were the heirs to estates in-
volving property in Pennsylvania,
and particularly in the heart of the
Philadelphia business section.
The promoters used what inspectors
said was the will of a non-existent
Revolutionary War officer, Jacob
Baker. “Heirs” were ipduced to con-
tribute to the fight for' the “estate”

COLLEGE STATION. — Dr. T. O.
Walton, president of Texas A. and
M. College, today told rehabilitation
workers for the Resettlement Admin-
istration that he could foresee nothing
for Texas agriculture except deca-
dence unless the general level of
education among rural families is
raised.
Doctor Walton, who recently re-
turned from an European tour, said
that the success of co-operatives in
Denmark was made possible by folk
schools established nearly 100 years
ago.
“The level of intelligence in Den-
mark,” he said, “is nearly twice that
of many of our states and nearly
three times that of our own beloved George L. Berry (Dem.), Tennessee,'
Texas.”
Paul V. Maris of Dallas, acting re-
gional director for the RA, said the
administration was seeking to make
a specific contribution to a broad ag-
ricultural program.
Clifford Day of Plainview, vice
president of the Texas Agricultural
Association, called cotton loans and
subsidies “a sothing syrup to try and
make us forget a permanent agricul-
tural cure, a permanent farm pro-
gram.”
More than 300 rehabilitation work-
ers are here for a six-day conference.

WASHINGTON.—Agriculture de-
partment estimators predicted today
“an adequate supply of food, feed,
forage and fiber” this year from the
nation’s farms.
They based this forecast on official
estimates yesterday by the federal
crop reporting board.
The board said Aug. 1 conditions
indicated crops yields nearly 11 per
cent above the average, but added
these could scarcely be called exces-
sive because of population gains,
better demand and short supplies re-
sulting from recent drouth years.
Except for the Northwest interior,
the experts said, weather in recent
weeks has been excellent for corn,
cotton, potatoes, beans, rice, sugar
beets, most fruits and various other
crops.
They increased their last month’s
estimate on this year’s crop for. most
major farm products and said sev-
eral may “show the highest yields
per acre on record.”
Highlights Listed
Highlights from the crop forecast
included:
Corn—A 2,658,748,000-bushel crop
with indicated yield of 27.7 bushels

sor’s son plans to enter college a year

The boy, Martin Ettlinger, began

he sprinted through junior high
school in a year.
His parents decided to put him on

he wouldn’t be graduated too young,
and Mozell He could have qualified for college
entrance last year" but broadened his
studies to include many elective sub-
jects.

ability to read rapidly and remem-

they discovered he could read back-
wards equally well.
as president of the body and a furth-
er “purge” of American Federation of
Labor influences in its setup.
“Positive government action is
necessary,” Lewis warned, “if we
are to correct basic abuses in our in-
dustrial life. The chaos of unchecked
private power in industry will in-
evitably culminate in new and prob-
ably greater business depression un-
less the workers and the 'farmers of
the Nation are given legal protection
of their basic rights.”
It was the alleged failure of the
President to see to it,that such “pro-
tection” was afforded participants in
the C. I. O’s unsuccessful steel strike
which caused the first rupture of
friendly relations with the White
House.
Lewis’ mention of farmers also was
deemed significant. The C. I. O. has
recently begun an intensive drive to
unionize agricultural and cannery
workers and has made no secret of its
ambitions to expand in that direction.

WiVSHINGTON. — Congressional
(Opponents of President Roosevelt’s
government re-organization plan al-
-----r ammuni-
tion to use against the proposal
which may furnish one of the major
controversies of the next session.
Senator Byrd (Dem.) of Virginia
has begun a recess study of federal
agencies, to prepare a new campaign
against the President’s version of
what should be done toward regroup-
ing federal bureaus.
The Virginia senator, chairman of
a special Senate committee on re-or-
ganization, charged that the Presi-
dent’s recommendations would con-
centrate too much power in the
White House and would effect no
real economies.
Senator Clark (Dem.), Missouri,
joined him, asserting they -were “as
bad as the court plan” and ought to
be rejected.
Byrd’s committee has $15,000 left
out of $35,000 expense allotments
with which to make its studies.
Administration forces in the Sen-
ate have answered Byrd by contend-
ing that under the President’s plan
economies would follow improved ef-
ficiency as a matter of course.
The President’s plan was drawn
up by a special committee of experts.
A committee he named joined with
the Byrd committee and a
Also, the fact that they advertise their merchandise and prices puts
their place on an “above-board” basis. No merchant whose merchan-
dise prices, or policies, are not right can long stand the spotlight of
publicity on his store—for the more such a merchant advertises the
quicker the public learns that his place is all wrong; just as they learn
that the right merchant’s place is all right, the more he advertises.
Merchants who advertise can sell for less because they get more
volume. It’s a matter of simple arithmetic.

BUFFALO, N. Y. — A Michigan
clergyman, once a physician, told
Buffalo’s inter-denominational Bible
conference Monday night that the
average 16-year-old girl of today
“knows more about sex than her
grandmother did after she’d had her
first baby.”
“Debauchery of sex and the sanc-
tity of the home are driving Ameri-
ca toward moral doom,” the Rev. Dr.
R. De Hann of Grand Rapids, Mich.,
said at the annual Bible retreat at
Evangelical park.
“Just look at our modern fami-
lies,” he declared. “People have for-
gotten that in the old days it was
a chastisement from God when a
family was childless.
“People don’t want children any-
more. They have forgotten that chil-
dren are a heritage from God.
“Oh, yes, one child is all right, and
you can have two and still remain in
high society..
“But three or more! That brands
you as some sort of an uncivilized

WASHINGTON. — Because o f a
record-breaking crop, the AAA an-
nounced today that the Federal Sur-
plus Commodities" Corporation will
buy 5,000,00 cases of canned tomatoes
beginning Aug. 23 for distribution on
relief to prevent a price clump.
The tomato crop for canning is
estimated by the crop reporting board
of the department of agriculture at
2,191,700 tons. Last year’s crop of
1,987,500 tons was the record up to
that date.
If a merchant must have $1,000 gross profit a week to pay his rent,
clerks, utility bills and himself a profit, then it all depends upon how
much business he gets as to how much he must mark up his merchandise
to make that $1,000.
Broccoli was brought to England
from Italy in the 16th century.

CLAUDE CALLAN SAYS
Before son gets his first job he
should practice speaking respectful-
ly to his parents, so he will not for-
get himself and speak disrespectfully
to his boss. He should also try to quit
arguing with his unreasonable par-
ents when they tell him to do
something. Of course the parents
will be wrong, but still son needs to
have self control along this line to
keep him from arguing with the bos?.
If. he begins arguing when the boss
tells him to do this or that, the un-
reasonable boss may fire him on the
spot. Our son has started to work .
downtown and we are expecting him
to lose his position. We just know
he will forget himself and speak to
his boss, who has authority over him,
as if he were merely a father.
