cheap but remember, that's the
floor price they can sell higher.
Of course it will have some in-
fluence on the speculator an^ we
can't any of us tell yet the tyrend
of the market. Dec. turkeys
should be higher than any other
month this year.
Fall goods and groceries sure
being displayed around Meridian.
Don't forget the community draw-
ing each Saturday. Be sure and
ask your merchant for Good Will
tickets. And last Saturday saw
one of the largest crowds in town
this year. Remember, all roads
lead to Meridian, the gateway to
the Whitney dam from the west
and in Jan. another contract for
construction will be let and it's
going to be a big one, lots bigger
than we all had expected. High-
way 22 on this side of dam is al-
most finished.
If you see it in our merchants
ads it's so.

lots are still nesting and of the
several we got opening day all
hens had eggs. Sept. 1st is too
early for opening of season here
in this section or season is out of
wrack with other years.
School starts its fall term by
enrolling this Friday and classes
start Monday. Meridian has a
full enrollment.
The Marshall plan is going over,
not for the full amount the dif-
ferent countries are asking for,
but at least one half of their ask-
ing figure the first year. This
means that the American farmer
will be pushed for the next 4 years
to produce enough for this export
and furnish the USA what they
need also. They asked for 30
billion. Congress will settle for
about 15 billion and this is lots of
dough to the farmer besides his
home market. Of course some of
this will be spent for steel, oil and
machinery but biggest part for
grain and meats. Your guess as
to what it means to us locally is
as good as mine but all I can make
out of it is a continued good mar-
ket to the farmer and ranchman
for the next 4 years and this
means prosperity to Bosque coun-
ty and her citizens.
Eggs are higher and scarce.
Still lots of small eggs. Quality

Handy Drinking Straw Container
TF YOU HAVE young children you
may know how useful drinking
straws can be in making the neces-
sary health-giving beverages, milk
and fruit juices, attractive to young-
sters. *
Here is a novel suggestion for a
handy container which will please
the children and, at the same time,
keep these helpful drinking tubes
within easy reach.
Take a seven-inch-long section of
a cardboard mailing tube—the kind
calendars come in—from one and
one-half to two inches in diameter.
Into one end of it fit a disc cut from
soft wood about one-fourth of an
inch thick. Fix the disc firmly in
place with glue.
Cover the tube with bright paper
or paint, put a handle of cord or
leather in place and—"presto"—
you have a miniature quiver such
as our first Americans—the Indians
•—used for their arrows. Daddy's
goif bag can be duplicated in the
same way.
The "quiver" or "golf bag" may
be hung near the dining table where
the youngsters may have the fun
of extracting their own drinking
s raws, or near the refrigerator
tphere straws are used for between-
iiieal snacks.
Try Persian Limes for Flavor
'"FHE OTHER day, as I was quar-
tering a beautiful, green, juicy
Persian lime, I realized that many
ho me makers are not acquainted
with the goodness and usefulness of
this littl ■ known and delightful
member of the citrus family. It is
not at all like other limes. It seems
to be a cross between a very sweet
lemon and a bottle of rare, exotic
perfume.
Containing all the vitamins and
minerals found in other citrus
fruits, the Persian lime has, be-
sides, an aroma and piquancy of
flavor all its own. There is nothing
quite like Persian lime marmalade,
for instance, and it is as simply
made as other marmalades. Lime
pie, too, is a favorite in our family,
and our guests have never failed to
ask me for the recipe.
The bright green of the lime
makes it an attractive—as well as
savory — garnish for fish, oysters,
dressing and salads. And if you are
among those who like a slice of
lemon to bring out the flavor of
your tea, try a quarter of Persian
lime instead. It will bring a gentle
breeze of the tropics, faintly scented
with exotic blossoms, as well as a
new taste sensation to your tea
table.

Tonsillectomies in Polio
Season Up to Physician
(wellTson/
]NOW LETS SEE.
Although summer is popu-
larly considered a favorable
time for removal of children's
infected tonsils or adenoids,
the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis, through its
local chapter, urges parents to
seek the advice of their own
personal physician on whether
such operation during the polio
season is advisable.
Scientific investigations car-
ried out with March of Dimes
funds indicate that there may
be more of a predisposition to
infantile paralysis infection as a result of tonsil and adenoid
operations performed during the seasonal polio months—June
through September.
Consequently, the National Foundation points out, parents
should be guided by their own physician's advice in each in-
dividual case.
