GIVE THEIR LIVE*-—
| YOf LEND YOUR MONEY"'
The Second War Loan Drive—
which began April 12—must raise
thg astounding sum of thirteen
billion dollars to support American
artnies that are now attacking the
enemy. An offensive Army requires
ammunition and materials that
cost staggering sums of money.
Foe example — one night raid of
) bombers over the Rhlpeland
Itakes 3375,000 worth of gasoline.
■ million t dollars worth of bombs
mhy be dropped In that raid, and
10 or 11 million dollars Ovorth of
planes may be destroyed.
In the future, America’s .armies
will undertake still greater at-
tacks, and these in turn will re-
quire still more money. The 13
billion dollars must be raised in
addition to the regular purchases
of war bonds and stamps that our
people are making now. Slogan for
the Second War Loan Drive is:
"They Give Their Lives—You Lend
Your Money.”

FEWER POINTS, LESS MONEY
TIN COLLECTIONS GAIN
Collections of collapsible tin
^Mubes in the Southwest totalled
^23,082 pounds during the first
year of operation of the WPB's
tube-for-tube swap order. Tooth-
paste and shaving cream purchas-
ers turned in many more tubes in
March than in February. National
collections hit a new high of 522,-
359 pounds in March compared
with 395,447 pounds the previous
month.
ARMY HAS VICTORY GARDENS
Many Army camps have their
victory gardens, where suitable
soil is handy to living quarters,
jjhey produce whatever the men
' Rjrefer, or whatever crop seems best
suited to the location Army gar-
dens are nothing new, but how
they are on a larger scale. How-
ever, they will not interfere with
training. The men who conduct
them may do so only as a volun-
tary off-time recreational activity.
Food produced will be for the con-
sumption of military personnel only
and not for sale.
FARMERS GET POINTS FOR
MEAT
When a farmer sells a slaughter-
ed calf direct to a retail meat mar-
ket, the market operator must sur-
K-nder the right number of points
to the .farmer. The farmer must
then turn the stamps over to the
ration board.
RETURN UNUSED GAS
COUPONS
Unused gasojine ration coupons
and books which are no longer val-
id are the property of the govern-
ment and must be turnetj in within
five days after the ciese of the
period of validity. Holders of un-
tysed first quarter “T" gasoline
Coupons, which have not expired,
are asked to turn them in immed-
iately to their local rationing
boards.
MEN BACK TO DAIRY FARMS
Local Selective Service boards
have been told to return men with
experience to dairy farms. The
program Includes—
1. Persuading 4F men between
18 and 45 with experience to return
to dairy farms If they are not in
aq essential activity.
2. Getting men over 45, not en-
gaged In essential activity, to go
■Lack to dairy farming.
. 3. Giving met) 18 to 46 thirty days
to get into agriculture or another
lasentlal activity, otherwise they
will be class8ified as available for
military service.
FROZEN vegetables
FOR ALL
There wll be plenty of frozen
vegetables, In 1943 for the armed
forces without cutting the supply
available for civilian use, the War
Department has announced. The
pack of quick-frozen vegetables
this year will be between 240,000,-
000 and 260,000^)00 pounds, accord-
I 1 neifO present V. 8. Department of
I 'Agriculture estimates, as compared
| vflth a pack of 162,000,000 last year.
The supply for civilian consump-
tion will be equal to or more than
that available last year.
EGG STORAGE DATA SOUGHT
Seeking information to be used
as p. ,.basis for issuing permits to
luugHe cold storage eggs after June
Food Distribution Admtn-
i office at Dallas has asked
' or firms in Teacas, Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, hav-
ing facilities for cold storage of
to submit a working inven-
of transactions in egg* during
u’SerSH

in storage on May 31 to be eet aside
for purchase by the Government
or for distribution otherwise only

Butchers may no longer reduce
point value# of rationed tneau and
fats without, at'the same time low-
ering money prices. If the retailer
lowers the point value, he must
lower the price at least 26 per cent
below celling. If he lowers the
point value more than 26 per cent,
the selling price^must be reduced
below celling In proportion, but in
no case more than 56 per cent
RUBBER TIRES FOR
TRAOTORE
A plan to assist farmers in their
vital wartime food production will
provide rubber tires and tubes for
converting -approximately 20,000
tractors and implements, originally
equipped with steel wheels, which
hays been bought since May 1,1942.
Local OPA War Price and Ration-
ing Boards will authorize conver-
sions after certification of farm-
ers applications by county war
boards. Reasons for certification
are: 1. Necessity of. moving Im-
plement over the road from farm
to farm: 2, Soli or topography such
that tractor Is seriously handicap-
ped by not having rubber tires.
MEAT REQUIREMENTS
SUSPENDED
Suspension of the requirement
that federally inspected slaughter-
ers set aside certain percentages
of their production for government
purchase has been extended in-
definitely. The requirement orig-
inally Was suspended for a two-
week period to facilitate a more
even flow of meat under the ra-
tioning program. The suspension
does not affect the meat restric-
tion order setting up civilian quo-
tas. The Food Distribution Admin-
istration has issued an order lim-
iting the quantity of meat federally
inspected slaughterers may hold in
storage. Thus meat over and above
civilian quotas produced by this
class of slaughterers will be im-
mediately available to the govern-
ment.
SMALL WAR CONTRACTS
The first specific allocation of
war contracts to be awarded to
smaller plants in the Southwest
region has been announced by the
Smaller War Plants Corporation
regional office at Dallas. Items
allocated for manufacture in Texas,
Oklahoma and Louisiana are 500,-
000 canvas pack carriers and 100,-
000 canvas water buckets, 18-quart
capacity, for a total of $275,000.
RESERVE PEAS AND BEANS
Fifty-five percent of dry«edible
beans and 60 per cent of dry peas
and split-peas are to be reserved
for military needs and the use of
our Allies. The average civilian
will have about eight pounds of dry
beans or 90 per cent of his usual
supply and nearly one pound of
dry peas, or about 75 per cent. For
dry beans this is about one pound
more per capita than was expected
for this year at the time beans and
peas were added to the list of ra-
tioned foods.
BINDER TWINE PRICE UP
Binder twine prices ylll be some-
what higher this year, because of
the increased cost of materials.
Cordage and _$wlnq fibers, from
wElch binder twine has been made
in the post, are scarce. WPB and
the U. 8. Department of Agricul-
ture have, therefore, encouraged
use of part cotton yam combined
with henequin and sisal. These fi-
bers are more expensive than ma-
terials formerly used.
MORE CANNED FISH
THIS YEAR
The amount of canned fish avail-
able to civilians from the 1943 pack
should be somewhat larger than
from last year’s pack. Due to a
smaller carryover of canned fish
in 1943, however, the per capita
supply for this year may_ be about
three-fourths of the 1942 civilian
consumption.
T-RATIONS NOT
TRANSFERRABLE
T-ratlon gasoline coupons and
certificates of war necessity may
not be transferred along with titles
to trucks or other commercial ve-
hicles. The Office of Defense
Transportation has announced that
such action directly violates ODT
general order No. 21 and may be
punished by suspension qf revoca-"
tion of certificates. Persons who
receive a motor vehicle through
transfer should file an application
for certificate of war necessity.
Operators of one or two vehicles
who make a transfer must return
certificates to their ODT distirct
office aUd must surrendei* unused
T Coupons to their local war price
and rationing board. Fleet oper-
ators must advise the nearest ODT
district office and return the ap-
propriate sub-certificate.
WOMEN ON RAILROADS
Women employed on class 1 rail-
roads Increased almost 60 percent
from September 15, 1942, to Janu-
ary 15, 1943. A survey by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission shows
that in September 39,590 women
were employed in 49 types of Jobs
on the nation’s ralteoqda. By Jan-
uary, the ‘number had rtaen. to 63,-
117 and the typea of Jobs to "74.
State labor regulations do not pre-
vent-»4*t9 employment of women in
transportation industries.

■ Raising!
•?}
Raising the chicks after getting
them from the hatchery is the main
problem for amateur poultrymen—
and sometimes fbr the more exper-
ienced. too. Proper spacing in the
brooder house and disease preven-
tion are the main elements in
bringing thetn successfully into
production, says George p. McCar-
thy, poultry man for the A. and M.
College Extension Service. And
correct spacing la the chief of
These. (y -
Crowding opens the gate to dis-
eases which pick off chickens that
otherwise would become needed
producers. The right capacity for
a brooder house having 100 square
feet, for example, is 200 chicks.
Fowl pox, or sorehead, and cocci-
dtosls, levy a heavy toll on eggs
and chickens. Both are preventable,
McCarthy says. Beginners, or those
who have experienced outbreaks on
their farms, should make vaccina-
tion of flocks for fowl pox a ’’must”
this season, especially the - pullets
after the cockerels have been sold.
Vaccination, which costsaapproxi-
matefy one-half Cent a pullet, is the
safest chicken insurance. The
county agricultural agent will ad
vise or help in applying it
Sanitation is the best preventive
of coccidioeis — clean feeders and
waterers, and clean, dry litter, with-
emphasis on dry. Coccidia need
moisture to develop. Stirring the
litter, moving the feeders and
water fountains to new locations in
the house daily will keep It down.
Feeding of sulphur in the mash,
along with good sanitation, also
has proved successful as a pre-
ventive. The recommendation Is to
add two and one-half pounds of
dusting sulphur, or unconditioned
325 mesh sulphur in 100 pounds of
feed. Chicks must be at least three
weeks old and running in the sun-
light before sulphur is fed, and it
cannot be fed to chicks which are
In batteries.

agricultural agent.
CPL Puts New.
Power Unit Into
Operation Tuesday
The fourth unit of Central Pow-
er and Light Company’s Nueces
Bay Power Station at Corpus
Christ! was put Into operation
Tuesday morning, April 13. Lon C.
Hill CPL president, announced.
The addition of this unit in-
creases the electrical generating
capacity for the Gulf Coast area
to more than 10 times what It was
three and a half years agoe
Completion of this station, the
final unit in the present develop-
ment program, gives the Gulf
Coast area 49,600 kilowatts which
Is enough to fill all requirements
of military bases, war industries,
stores and homes. Hill said.
When the first . pile was driven
for thp station on the ship chan-
nel, October 27, 1939, there were
only 4,500 kilowatts of generating
|each and two
one which was put in
this week, added 15.000 _______
each t<) ,the Nueces Bay Power 8ta-
“Thua, the expansion of power
has more than kept pace with the
growth of the Gulf Coast area,”
HU1 said.;, “Any talk of power-
shortage has been definitely dis-
proved.”
‘The Nuefces Bay Power project
was pre-war development. Hill ex-
plained. Fortunately, in Uqe with
our policy of future planning, con-
struction was well underway and
part of the plant was in operation
when war needs became apparent.”'

your War Bonds?
1. Q.
How many people own War Bonds—
......500,000? _____1,000,000?
......50,000,000?
More than 50,000,000 patriotic Americans-
of our fighting forces as well as civilians—have
-men
-have made
their personal declaration of war against the Axis by
buying War Bonds. Nevei before in history have so
many people had a financial stake in their Government!
2.Q.
Why are War Bonds the world's sajest
investment jor your money?
r
3. Q.
If you put $3 into War Bonds, how much
do you get back—
......$3.00? —..$3.50? ..,,.$4.00?
OR I
■<&&*-
A. A War Bond is a “promise to pay” backed by the
strongest government in the world. You can’t get any
better security!
You can’t lose your money. It can’t be stolen. Even if
the Bonds are lost or destroyed, you get every penny
back. For every Bond is registered at the Treasury
Department!
A. for every $3 you put into War Bonds you get t4
back when the bonds mature! And how those extra
dollars mount up! Look at this:
You buy a War Bond today at $18.75. In 10 years
you get 325.00. You buy a War Bond today at $37.50.
In 10 years you get $50.00. You buy a War Bond today
at $75.00. In 10 years you get $100.00.
4. Q.
Why does Uncle Sam want you to put
money into War Bonds—
......to pay Jor equipping our fighting
forces?
.....Jo help keep prices down?
______to give you extra money after the
war?
Aa Check all three! The money you lend in War
Bonds works W- for the government and yen'. It
helps {>ayfor rictorj, help* keep prices down.
5.Q.
How does buying War Bonds keep prices
down? I
6. Q.
Why will money you put in War Bonds
be especially valuable to you after the
war?
An Right now, when our country’s busy making war
goods, lots of peacetime goods are scarce. There are
fewer things to buy with your money. If people Mart
bidding against each other to buy scarce goods, prices
naturally go up. But if you buy war Bonds instead of
Scarce goods, you help keep prices down where they
belong.
i* How much money should you put into
War Bonds— ......10 percent of your
pay? _____.12 percent? ......15 percent?
FAY ENVELOPE
#%n Every^loysl Americsnought to^be putting at least
can possibly do it. War Bonds make good sense—for
selfish reasons aa well as patriotic ones! Put every cent
yon can into War Bonds—and both you and your country
will benefit!
8. Q.
How should you buy War Bonds?
/%■ After the war there’ll be more of the things you
want to spend your money for. Your money will go
farther. And you’ll have more to spend—with all the
extra interest your War Bonds give you!
