Birdhouse De low
McKeesport, P»-—A 46-
room, six-story air-conditioned
house is being built here. Each
room has a private entrance
and a full-length porch. But
it’s strictly for the birds. Rob-
ert Giles and Water Kasim are
putting the model birdhouse
together at the McKeesport
Vocational School.
An hour of work on the
farm now, as compared with
1920, results in about a third
more milk, a half more corn,
'aad more than twice as much
wheat.

HISTORY STILL REPEATS
ITSELF
The following editorial is re-
printed from the Wichita Bea-
con:
“Lack of understanding on
the part of men who are run-
ning our government appears
to be as much to blame for the
chaotic condition of prices
and supply as any other one
factor.
'Remember back in the
days of the depression when
the government was recom-
mending iplowing under crops
because they were . in too
abundant supply! Those same
experts today are trying to
■plow under’ markets because
the demand is too great.
"It doesn’t take a student of
economics to tell our govern-
ment that prices are governed
almost entirely by supply and
demand—regardless of the
controls placed on either as
an artificial stimulus for in-
creased or decreased prices.
‘The plain truth is that onr
supply is high, but our demand
is greater because of the ex-
port policies which this coun-
try has followed and is follow-
ing. Suddenly there has been
drastic cut in export alloca-
tions of grain and flour in an
effort to retard the upward
trend of prices.
"Looking back over the
years, it isn’t difficult to see
that history repeats itself.
Wheat after the Civil war sold
for $2.85; after the fiusso-
Turkish war H soared to $2.45;
it went to $1.85 after' the
Spar ish-American war, and to
$3.50 after the first World war.
“Regardless of who is run-
wbich must be realized is the
ning America, the first truth
which must be realized is the
old funda nenta! economic law
of supply and demand. It has
never failed. It never will, re-
gardless of subsidies, grants,
doles, price-pegging or other
artificial stimuli. When the
supply is good, prices trend to
be lower. When supply is
short, prices are high (provid-
ed there is no price control, in
which case the short supply
usually finds better customers
in the black market—at high-
er prices)'. . . .
“We are experiencing high
wheat because 40 per cent of
the crop is going out of the
country. We are experiencing
high meat prices for the same
reason. However, we are wit-
nessing high corn prices be-
cause the crop this year wasi
800,000,000 bushels short be-
cause of weather factors. In
any instance, • the available
Home supply is not sufficient to
j meet the demand.”
. American farmers will grow
every pound of food and fiber
, for which they can foresee a j
! reasonable demand. The world.
need have no fear of their I
willingness to produce to ca-,
parity. — Rep. Clifford R. ■

The item reproduced below
in regard to J. Graham Pow-
ers is reprinted from a recent
issue of The Cotton Digest,
published at Houston. Mr.
Powers is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Powers of Hender-
son. Mrs. Powers is the sister
of Mrs. T. J. Molloy and the
daughter of the. late Mr. and
Mrs. R. T. Blair, of Timpson.
The publication also used the
picture of Mr. Powers on front
cover page.
Timpson friends will read
with interest the following ar-
ticle from The Cotton Digest:
In 1921, J. Grshsm Powers
bought street cotton in Timp-'
son, Texas. This was the be-
ginning of a career that has
culminated in the position of
Executive Vice-President of
Shaw Cotton Co., Inc.,
Phoenix, Arizona.
Bom in Prestonsbnrg, Ken-
tucky, Mr. Powers came to
Texas to attend Lon Morris
College at Jacksonville, and
Texas A. ft M. College at Col-
lege Station.
After buying street cotton
for six years, he. taught cotton
marketing and classing in the
textile department at Texas' A.
ft M. At the same time, am-
bitious young Powers was op-
erating an f. o. b. cotton busi-
ness in Bryan under the name
Powers and Armstrong.
His next move was to Dan-
ville. Virginia in August, 1942,
where he was head of the
classing department of the
Dan River Mills until Jure 1,
1947. Fram that time, he has
been with Shaw Cotton Co.,
Inc.
The successful Mr. Powers
made two wise moves in 1921,
his beginning in the cotton
industry and his marriage to
Evelyn Blair of Timpson, Tex-
as. The Powers have two chil-
dren, J. Graham, Jr. and
Evelyn Rae Coursey of Gaines-j
ville, Texas. /
The Phoenix Masonic Lodge,
Lions Clnb and the Methodist
church claim the affable Mr.
Po wers as a member. His spare
time is spent fishing and bunt-
ing, his two favorite hobbies.
