Farm Family Spending
To Remain About
Same In 1950
Does the outlook for somewhat
lower farm income in 1950 mean
a cut in farm family spending?
Mrs. Florence Low, extension
home management specialist of
Texas A. & M. College, doesn't
believe that farm families gen-
eraly will cut their spending dur-
ing 1950 as much as the farm
income is expected to be re-
duced.
She says families do not change
their spending habits easily and
tend to keep up their spending
even after income has dropped.
Savings and credit provide the
cushion families use to maintain
this spending.
Other factors that may help
to keep farm family spending on
a fairly high level, says Mi's.
Low, are a wider extension of
electricity to rural areas and
spending on housing may be sti-
mulated by the provisions of the
Federal Housing Act of 1949

(1 Block West of Johnston Co.)
A multimillionaire, being inter-
viewed about his self-made for-
tune, commented: "I never hes-
itate to give full credit to my
wife for her assistance." "In what
way did she help?" the reporter
asked. "Well, if you want the
whole truth," replied the man,
"1 was curious to find out if
there was any income she couldn't
live beyond."
Career girls, when they're bad-
ly harried, think perhaps they
should have married. Married
girls reduced to tears regret-
fully regard careers.
We have a large jar of nails,
tacks, screws, etc. in the little
white house beside the Wil-Bar
Grill. It costs nothing to guess
at the number of items in the
jar and as soon as enough per-
sons guess we are going to have
a counting season—the five < lose-
est guesses will win prizes—1st
and 2nd prizes is enough wall-
paper to decorate any room in
you home—and the next three
prizes are enough Kem-Tone to
redecorate some of your rooms
as listed. Drop in—look and
guess? You may win—no one
knows how many there are.
Children aren't happy with noth
ing to ignore and that's what
parents were created for.
Few of us can stand pros-
perity. Another man's, I moan.
The worst thing about history
is that every time it repeats it-
self—the price goes up.
We are sending out periodicals
of "The Business of Farming"
which has many helpful hints a-
bout home decorating in it—it is
also running a contest for school
boys and girls—12 college schol-
arships and 74 cash prizes—come
in and ask for an entry blank,
If you want a thing well done
—don't do it yourself unless you
know how.
Millions long for immortality
who do not know what to do with
themselves on a rainy Sunday
afternoon.
ONE OF THE GREATEST
LABOR SAVING INVENTIONS
OF TODAY IS TOMORROW—
consumer goods will also benefit
farm families.
If reductions to come, they are
expected to show up in reduced
spendings for gifts and contri-
butions, recration and house
furnishings and equipment, says
Mrs. Low. Little change is ex-
pected in the amounts spent for
food and clothing.
High farm incomes for the past
several years have enabled many
farm families to acquire a good
stock of household equipment and
this will not have to be replaced I
for several years. Young families
and others who have not acquired
household goods are more likely i
to miss the extra income which
would have been spent on these
items.

from Flue-Vented gas heating appliances
Everyone starts the day rested and refreshed in a
home cozy with fresh circulated heat supplied by
automatic flue-vented gas heating appliances.
At bedtime, you simply set the temperature con-
trol at a fuel-saving, comfortable sleeping level.
Products of combustion are carried off through a
vent to the out-of-doors. The air is noticeably
fresher. Wall and window sweating is eliminated.
Moreover, there's no early morning chill, no sud-
den change in temperature, which authorities say
make you susceptible to taking cold.
Closet-type central furnaces, floor furnaces, gas-
stcani radiators, wall furnaces, and vented circu-
lators are a few of the modern flue-vented gas
heating appliances that will give you this automatic
healthful heating.
Investigate the various types of flue-vented gas
heating equipment for the health protection of vour
family, today.
