THE NEWS' JULY IIAKC.AIN RATE i, meet in#
with gratifying response thus far, as will he eon
from the list of readers paying up or becoming new
readers carried in another column. We appreciate
this fine response, and urge those who have not yet
taken advantage of the $1.50 rate to do so at their
earliest convenience. Already we have put a num-
ber of new readers on our mailing list. We arc also
putting many service men's names on our list, .sent
to them by their parents or friends.
Even though advertising in country weeklies is at
• low ebb, these weeklies are proud of their loyal
readers and are endeavoring to give them the best
home-town .paper possible. The Albany News has
readers who have been continuous subscribers for
fifty and .sixty years.
MANY SUBSCRIBERS tend the Newt to rel-
ative* or friends, tome tending at many at four
subscription*.
This week Mitt Lora Williamt mbtcrihed
tor copies of the Albany Newt for herself,
lor Mrt. Weldon Fox at Breckenridge, for
her litter, Mrt. Nell Williamt at San Francitco,
and for Brig. Gen." Robert B. Williamt at El
Pato.
Arthur Adamt it tending the Newt around
the world. Betidet taking the paper for him-
■U, he tendt it to two of hit brothert, Sgt.
Virgil Adamt, in New Guinea, and Sgt. Hubert
A. (Hap) Adamt in New Caledonia. A fourth
copy it tent to Mrt. Adam't brother, Pvt. Geo.
DeLong at Fort Riley, Kantat.
A atory that will interett friendt of Hap and
E. L. Gavit it told ut thit week. E. L. Gavit,
who it alto in the South Pacific, recently taw
Sgt. Hap Adamt when the latter wat marching
with a detail and yelled at him. Hap couldn't
break formation and find out who wat hollering
at him, but he knew tomeone from Albany bad
recognized him in the laiM "down under."
INTERESTING LETTERS come with some of the
renewals.
Jimbo Reynolds of Las Vegas, N. M., states:
"We sure enjoy reading about everything that
happens at home. I did not know that the Albany
News could be so interesting until I moved away
from Albany."
Incidentally, Jimbo, your mother called us the
other day and told us to renew your subscription,
which we did. Thanks.
A. P. Burns of Pauls Valley, Okla., adds to his
letter: •
"We enjoy the News very much, especially 'Down
Memory Lane'."
This column is getting jealous of the Memory
Lane column. These old timers turn to Down Mem-
ory Lane before they read the front page.
THE ALBANY NEWS it going to be late
next week. We have prided ourtelvet in get-
ting the Newt out on the dot for nearly five
yeart, and intend to keep thit record going,
barring providential hindrance!.
Next week the editor will attend the Texas
State Guard officer! tchool at Camp Bullit,
near San Antonio. For teveral weekt we have
tried to tecure the tervicet of a Linotype oper-
ator, but all operatort not in the Army or
Navy are tied down to jobt, and it it impot-
tible to get one for a few days. So, we will get
the Newt out a day or to late next week, and
atk the readeri' indulgence jutt thit once.
John O Clark, our veteran printer, with the
help of Mitt Fronie anil the Mi mm, will keep
the plant going, and might get the paper out
before wr gel back. We are naturally inclined
to be pessimistic, however, and don't expert
them to get it out until we return, which will
be sometime Friday night.
Country newspaper men over the itate are
finding that tliey have pretty regular jobt their
dayt. Because of shortage of help, most of the
puhlithert are doing their regular work at pub-
lithert, and then fill the thoet of tome printer
or operator that Uncle Sam decided lie needed
worte than the editor.
So, if our readert will hear with tin jutt tllix
once, we will be gratelul and get a nice vaca-
tion and tome valuable inttruction concerning
the Texat State Guard. Capt. Dan llarrit, l.t.
C. B. Downing, and Sgt. Joe A. Clarke alto
will attend the tchool during the month.
PEOPLE OF WEST TEXAS who have come to
know Editor Frank Grimes of the Abilene Reporter-
News, grieved with him Sunday when word was re-
ceived that his son, Capt. Rudyard K. Grimes, had
died in a Japanese prison camp in the Philippines.
Capt. Grimes was in the Philippines when the Japs
attacked Pearl Harbor, and was among the defend-
ers of the Philippines. He fought as a Philippino
Scout officer on Ilataan, and after the surrender he
and his Scouts fought on a few days longer, ('apt.
Grimes was one of some <>00 American soldiers who
have died in Jap prison camps.

vertity of Texat. "Men ttudentt almott ex-
clutively check out the 70-odd album! of clai-

report continue!.

HOGS MAKE MONEY for 4-H club boy.,- in this
county, according to County Agent W. C. Vines.
Donald Hudman, stfn of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hud-
man of Moran, received a gilt two years ago from
Sears-Roebuck, and raised some fine pigs which In-
turned into good money. In June, Mr. Vines re-
ports, Donald sold i gilt and two pigs for $75.00.
This gilt was a little over a year old. Donald still
has three of her pigs left.
That gilt will make Donald a nice profit.

Farmers' Income
Shows Increase
Al'STIX. Texas farmers sold
1,000,000 worth of agricultural
; products during May, as compared
with $54,000,000 in May, l!il'_\
the 1 niversity of Texa.- Bureau
of Business Research report-.
This 37 percent gain was due to
higher prices rather than to in-
creased marketings, however,
points out Dr. F. A. Bueelu-I, bu-
reau statistician.
He cited that total cattle market-
ings, for example, dropped 2'i per-
cent, but prices were 17 percent
higher than a year ago, helping to
offset the drop in numbers.
Shipments of calves, however,
j were 1-1N percent higher than in
May, 1P42, while income from
sales was ISO percent above last
! year. The number of hogs shipped

increased by ~ 0 percent, while cash
income from ho^s gained 70 per-
cent.
Marketing of milk and milk pro
ducts increased only I percent, but
income rose 10 percent.
marketings increased 28
percent, income <10 percent.
The most startling increase in
both marketings and cash income,
he said, occurred in the case of
fruits and vegetables where ship
ments were up 72 percent over
May, last year, and cash income
increased 138 percent.
The index of farm prices over
the nation, as reported by the Fed
eral Bureau of Labor Statistics, he
cited, has almost doubled since
May. UW.l, and shows a 21..'J point
rise since May, !!M2 a tendency
toward inflation which he termed
a "matter for some concern."
"During the first five months of
JJM3," he added, "the price index
of farm products rose 12 points,
whereas during the corresponding
period of P.M.'J this index rose less
than four points."

Abie Ginsberg wa • probably the
worst scholar in his class. He was
I more than that. He was the worst
scholar in each and all of his
classes. His report cards showed
him to be a total loss. And it w;i-
that way throughout his school
days. So when the war came
along, Abie quit school and joined
the Army. He worked his way into
the Air Force. Eventually he be-
came a flyer. Still more eventual-
ly he found himself in General
Mat-Arthur's flying corps in Aus
tralia.
Then came the day when Abie's
father, Moe Ginsberg, got a cable
that was signed by Douglas Mir
Arthur himself. Fearing the
worst, Moe read it. It aid :
"Your on Abie Ginsberg got
! three Zeros today.''
"Acll, Gott I" exclaimed old Moe.

The writer attended a youth
camp last week. That is an exper-
ience every adult should have. If
you think two or three children
around the place can make a lot
of noise and eat a lot of rations,
just cast your lot for a week with
15fi in a camp. One can learn
more about human nature in four
days in such a camii than in a col-
lege psychology class in a year.
And what he learns he knows is
true. There were at least two
events on the daily program that
were met promptly: the -wimming
period and meal time. They were
always on time and "raring to go."
If you've about soured out on the
world we recommend that you go
to a youth camp and sleep, oat,
swim, pray, study, ing, laugh and
play with a healthy bunch of
young American.-. We guarantee
you will forget some of your wor
ries at least.
Nearly '1,000 -in-li amps will be
operated this uminer by 12 I'm
teslant denominations with an ex
ported attendance in exee of
150,000, according to the Uev.
Raymond K. l'eter , of Chicago,
director of youth work of the In-
ternational Council of Koligiou-
Education. Special permit for
these camps have been made by
the government in recognition of
their importance to the morale of
youth in war time.
The Christian camps program
will do much to counteract juve-
nile delinquency which has reach-
ed a new high mark in the nation.
The problem of meeting the needs
of our growing boys and girls is
a serious one. The "Zoot Suit
War in I.os Angeles is the pro-
duct of failure on the part of that
community to care for its boys and
girls a few years back. The "Zoot
Suit" gangs grew up on the streets
and alleys of a neglected Mexican
section of the city and finally be-
came so spectacular that especial-
ly-trained officers have been as-
signed to the district to cope with
; them. Three murders and over
200 injuries have already occur-
red in fights between these lawless
bands of youths and -ervice men.
i —-o
Christianity, the
Panacea
(Hy Orland W. kury, Minister
I Church of Christ).
The world is in a deplorable
condition today. Countries are at
war, strife, hatred, anger, avarice
and greed are being sown in the
hearts of men. Crime and law-
breaking is rampant; want and
privation exist especially in fore-
ign lands. Even though there is
food, shelter, and raiment in the
world for every person and to
spare, through wrong distribution
people are starving and this winter
thousands will die because of no
shelter from the cold. Sins and
unrighteousness everywhere a
bound. The condition of the world
today is a far cry from the peace
and contentment man once knew
in the Garden of Eden. All this
is a direct result of sin.
If man had never sinned he
would still be in the Utopia and
all would be well. No country
ever wins a war, unrighteousness
brings no profit, sin doe.-t not pay.
The only way man can rid the
world of such conditions and lift
himself from the abyss into which
he has fallen i- to return to God
and His teachings in the Bible.
When men learn the universal
brotherhood of man, love each
other, banish racial prejudices;
when they practice the Golden
Rule and the fundamental teach-
ings of Christianity, then selfish-
ness will fade and men will live
for each other and serve God by
serving His creatures, men. If all
men were Christian, there would
be no need for jails and penal in-
stitutions. Christianity, God's
scheme of redemption, will lift
men from this chaos. Christianity
is the universal cure, the panacea,
for all the problems of the world
today!

ican language.

I like crowds and the roar of
crowds; am logical (1 hope) but
am proud of a few prt prejudices;
like poetry and oratory; am impa-

performed and am usually prompt
in answering letters; incline to
take side—if I know nothing of

under-dog; resent an injury to a
friend more than to myself; can't

march on, am becoming a little
doubtful of my opinions—not so
sure that I know the answers.

Not What He Wanted
Some years ago a bewhiskered
elderly little man was hurrying
along Wall Street, when he collid-
ed with a runner from a bucket
shop.
"Come to put a little money on
the rise of the market?" insinuat-
ed the runner, taking instant ad-
vantage of the encounter. "I'll
-how you where you can double
your money in an hour."
"Double all I have?" inquired
the old gentleman innocently.
"How much have you got?" ask-
ed the runner.
"Oh, a little less than $175,000,-
000," was the reply.
"W what?"
"Yes," replied the prospective
Blenching Changes For The Better
Remember how we used to
blanch vegetables by plunging
them into boiling water and cook-
ing them for five or 10 minutes?
Well, there's been
a change for the
better.
Whether vege-
tables are to be
canned, dehydrat-
ed or frozen, they
still must be
blanched, for it
stops enzymatic
action, sets the
color, improves
the flavor and
saves vitamins.
But recent re-
Mrs. Kiene search by noted
authorities definitely proves that
more vitamins are saved by the
steam method.
Here's how you do it: Use a deep
eooking utensil with a tight-fitting
cover. < Or, if your range has a
deep-well cooker, use that.) Put
boiling water about an inch deep
In bottom of utensil. Place vege-
table to be blanched in a wire
basket or colander, place in utensil
and steam. Steaming will require
anywhere from five to 15 minutes,
depending on the vegetables and
the method of putting them up. For
safety's sake, cpnsult a 1943 pro-
cessing timetable.
t
Although we speak of "blanch-
ing" fruits, all we really do is scald
them to make it easier to remove
their tough skins: Put them in a
wire basket, plunge into boiling
water for one minute and then into
cold water.
Because it seems selfish to use
a heavy syrup for fruits this year
when the supply of sugar must be
shared by many more canners than
usual, I'm using this syrup rccipa
for all my fruits: One cup of sugar
to three cups of water; bring to a
boil and cook until sugar is dis-
solved.
