class of 1943 at Texas A & M
with commencement exercises

22-23 and mark the first class to
be graduated under the speed-up
program in effect at the college
( since last June. The current
class, numbering 642 young men,
by attending school this past
summer have been able to com-
plete their college work one full
semester ahead of the normal
time.
Commencement exercises , will
open at 10:30 Friday morning
when the Rev. Marshall Steele,
D. D., pastor of the Highland
Park Methodist church, Dallas,
delivers the baccalaureate ser-
mon in Guion (Hall, the college

ents of the graduates.

the Board of Directors of the(
college, will deliver the com-
mencement address.
Cadet Lt. Col. Wiliam Gallo-
way, of Throckmorton, will de-
liver the valedictory. In his four
years at the college Gallpway

as a B and that was not made
until the first semester of his
senior year. He will receive the
degree of bachelor of science in
mechanical engineering with a
grade point ratio of 2.9922 of a
perfect 3.00.
Final ball will be held Friday

president, and Mrs. Walton in
the Y. M. C. A.

o'clock.
Practically 100 per cent of the
graduates will report for addi-
tional military training to com-
plete the work for their commis-
sions immediately after final re-
view.
V
More Eggs On
Farm, Is Aim
Of Uncle Sam
College Station.—Uncle Sam
wants Texas farmers to produce
11 per cent more eggs this year
than last, and also to substan-
tially increase poultry meats.
Translated into totals, 11 per cent
means nearly 27,000.000 dozen
more eggs than Texas hens laid
in 1942. To reach this goal and
at the same time furnish more
poultry for the pots nnd ovens,
flocks will have to be enlarged
by starting more chicks , and
their egg laying ativity stepped
up. This is the opinion of
George P McCarthy, poultryman
• for the A. and M. College Ex-
tension Service.
McCarthy suggests planning the
1943 program to start at least
two groups of chicks, one to
come off in Februnry or early
March, and another as soon as
the first group can be removed
from the brooder house. More-
over, he adds, it will be an ad-
vantage to raise straight run
chicks this yenr. The cockerels
could be fed out as heavy fryers
and sold at a good price next
spring.
Moderation, however, should be
observed. Overcrowding, lack of
feed hopper space, and lack of
water fountains should be guard-
ed against. McCarthy recom-
mends at least one square foot
for each two chicks in a brooder
house and at least one inch of
feeder space per chick. At least
one quart of water should be
provided for each 25 chicks For
best results, allow at least three
square feet of floor space for
each laying hen and three inches
of feeder space, and provide ap-
proximately five gallons of drink-
ing water for each 100 birds in
the house.
To avoid transportation delays
McCarthy BUggests buying chicks
as near home as possible- But in
doing so, choose the better grade
from a reliable hatchery, prefer-
ably one operating under the Na-
tional Poultry Improvement pro-
gram, or from one carrying on a
comparable program.
Record Keeping
Small Stores
Made Easier
Carl F. Bartz, regional mana-
ger of the department of com-
merce in Dallas, emphasized to-
day that small store operators
can rid themselves of a bugbear
which has harassed them for
years—keeping accurate and up-
to-date records. "Record Keep-
ing for Small Stores," a mono-
graph prepared by the bureau
of foreign and domestic com-
merce, and published by the
special senate committee to study
problems of American small
business, is designed for the own-
ers of small retail outlets.
In times past, many small store
owfr^era literally kept their rec-
ords "on the cuff" and did not
know from month to month where
they stood—whether they were
making or losing. Surveys made
by the department of commerce
have shown that a large ma-
jority of unprofitable stores kept
poor records, if any, and that
the great bulk of profitable es-
tablishments kept good records.
This new monograph shows how
the records of small stores may
be kept with a minimum of ex-
penditure of time and effort. It
is not a textbook, but does set
forth in practical terms the pro-
cedures for record-keeping that
are necessary for intelligent man-
agement of the small store. A
"one-book" system is provided
that will furnish tho store owner
all the business facts necessary
for successful management, and
also for the preparation of in-
come, social security, federal
excise and state and local sales
tax returns.
Great care was used in its
preparation, including the exami-
nation of a number 'of existing
simplified systems in use in vari-
ous retail trades. Trade asso-
ciations, private accounting firms
and business-machine manufac-
turers were called upon for data
and responded generously. In
preface, Senator James E. Mur-
ray of Montana, chairman of the
senate Small Business committee,
says:
"This monograph makes availa-
ble useful information on the
technique of scientific record-
keeping. The emphasis is upon
practicability and simplicity and
it should be of great service to
the small business man, who,
through necessity must look for
\Vays to improve his present rec-
ords."
As a result of the wide interest
shown in the publication, 'a sec-
ond edition has just been printed.
Copies may be obtained from
superintendent of documents,
government printing office,
Washington, D. C , for 30 cents
per copy, and Mr. Bartz asked
that requests not be made to his
office since the limited supply
furnished him has already been
exhausted due to the keen inter-
est shown in this publication by
trade associations and chambers
Moonshine Said
To Be Sold In
"Dry" Counties
The Review, the official organ
of the Texas Liquor Control
Board, has the following to say
about moonshine liquor in the
state of Texas.
Though inspectors for the
Texas Liquor Control Board be-
lieve production of moonshine
liquor is steadily declining, local
officials in recently-dry Grayson
County's Denison report its in-
creasing appearance there.
The Denison Press said the
moonshine is being described lo-
cally as "air raid warden whis-
key—one drink and there's a
blackout"
There were 13 convictions in
cases involving liquor law viola-
tions in Grayson county in De-
cember, inspectors reported.
Throughout the state 420
criminal complaints were filed,
resulting in a total of 338 con-
victions and .$39,245.86 in fines.
Seven illicit stills were report-
ed seized in December, a!H of
them in East Texas.
With the stills, which had a
total cubic capacity of 340 gal-
lons, 470 gallons of mash and 10
gallons of contraband liquor were
destroyed. Potential tax evasion
of commerce, as well as numer-
ous retailers throughout the
southwest.
Drinking Not
Army Problem,
OWI Reports
The Office of War Information
at Washington, reporting result*
of a coast-to-coast investigation
of conditions in and around army
camps, said at year's end:
"There is not excessive drink-
ing among troops, and drinking
does not constitute a serious
problem."
Investigators for the ,OWI
traveled 12,000 miles in making
the survey, the Washington an-
nouncement said.
Declaring the sale of beer in
army camps is "a healthy and
sensible arrangement," the OWI
commented:
"The fact that there is vastly
less drinking among soldiers in
war than in the last—a fact
almost universally agreed to by
commanders and civilian authori-
ties alike—may stem in part
from this sale of beer in camps.
In the last war, camps were bone
dry. As a result, bootleggers did
a thriving business."
As long ago as June, 1941,
the Texas Liquor Control Board
stepped up its enforcement pro-
gram as an added safeguard for
army personnel being brought
into the state for training.
amounted to $7,377.30.
The seven stills were found in
the five following dry counties:
Harrison, 2; San Jacinto, 1;
Smith, 1; Upshur, 1; Walker, 2.1
