FAT FACTS
“Food saving is still a number
one job,” says the Department of
Agriculture. “Fats and oils are
scarce all over the world. We
must rely on conservation to help
offset shortages; save every avail-
able drop of used fat.”

vation District Friday, June 11, at

This was Parr’s first visit with
the board. He expressed the de-
sire of the extension service to do
all possible to make the program
of this soil district of the great-
est help to the residents of Arm-
strong and Carson counties.
Quentin Williams, district con-

tion service, reported on the com-
mittee assignments given him. He

ing the final draft of the report.

ditions.

From where I sit... Joe Marsh,
How to Live Longer
Someone asked Pappy Miller last
week how he stayed so spry at
ninety. Pappy told him:
“Well, sir—when I work, I work
hard. When I set, I set loose. When
I think, I go to sleep.”
According to Doc Hollister, that
formula isn’t far amiss. “Hard
work,” says Doc, “never wore out
anyone before his time, providing
he knew how and when to relax.”
Doc himself works overtime,
with his daytime patients at the
office, and his evening calls. And
when he gets home he takes it easy
with a mellow glass of beer and
chats with the missus until it’s
time to go to bed.
From where I sit, relaxing is a
fine art—especially in these tense,
fast-moving times. And there’s
nothing like a temperate glass of
beer—enjoyed with pleasant com-
pany—to restore that easy frame
of mind that one needs after a hard
day’s work.

MADE BY A
FARMER TO
SOLVE A VITAL
SOIL NEED
During the Dust Bowl days
Jeoffroy developed his chisel
plow to answer a soil need on
Jeoffroy farms. This plow pre-
vented erosion and conserved
precious moisture for profitable
crops. Neighbors soon were ask-
ing for Jeoffroy plows. Thus an
American industry was born ...
to solve a vital soil need. Today
successful farmers all over the
world are profiting by using
Jeoffroy Chisel Plows.
JEOFFROY MAKES
TVESOIL DRINK
j E E P. . . this is one reason
for its outstanding success as an
all-around farm plow. The
Jeoffroy chisels break up the
hard-pan. Moisture runs down
into the subsoil for storage. The
Jeoffroy is also becoming very
popular because it prevents ero-
sion. And the light draft of a
Jeoffroy helps cut plowing costs
as much as one-half.

Bird-Seed lor Breakfast
A WOMAN, married to a hypno-
i\ tist, brought her husband to
court, charging him with cruelty.
“Your honor,” she complained,
“my husband is the meanest man
in the world He hypnotized me into
thinking I was a canary and then
gave me bird-seed for breakfast,
dinner and supper.”
The judge gasped.
“Is this true?” he demanded.
The husband appeared defiant. ”1
beg your pardon.” he said, “but I
don’t think that was mean.”
The judge’s eyes popped.
“You don’t think that was mean?”
The husband shook his head
“No,” he asserted. “I could have
hypnotized her into thinking she was
a sparrow—and then she’d have had
to hunt for her own food.”

PRETTY “PLEASE”
An angler, who had been try
lng to hook something for the
last six hours, was sitting gloom-
ily at his task, when a mother
and her small son came along.
“Oh!” cried out the youngster,
"do let me see you catch a fish!”
Addressing the angler, the
mother said, severely: “Now,
don’t you catch a fish for him
until he says ‘Please’!”
War Widow's Bid ©f
$15 Wins Her Hosts©
Bidders Remain Silent During
County Auction Sale
BEDFORD, IND.—A young war
widow here with five children be-
came a home owner for just $15.
Her modest home north of Bed-
ford went on the auction block at a
county real estate sale for the col-
lection of delinquent taxes.
Mrs. Donna Blevins, clutching all
the ready cash she could raise, was
there. Her husband, Carl, died of
an ailment contracted while in the
service. The husband inherited the
house from his father five years
ago.
The widow was afraid that she and
her five youngsters would be evicted
by the buyer.
County Auditor Donald Smith ad-
dressed the crowd of bargain hunt-
ers.
“This property is occupied by a
war widow who is the mother of
five children,” he said. “She has
very little income.”
Auctioneer Mark Boyd rapped his
gavel. “What am I bid?” he asked.
There was a small babble of voices,
but the auctioneer interrupted.
“I’ve got to point out that this
is a public auction and anyone
can bid,” he said. “But I’m also
going to point out, as Smith did,
that a young mother and her chil-
dren now live there. Now, then,
what am I bid?”
Mrs. Blevins raised one hand.
“I’ll bid $15,” she cried. The auc-
tioneer didn’t hesitate. His gavel
came back with a resounding
whack.
“Sold to the lady for $15.”

Perish in Sweeping Blaze
Beginning of Sweden
Tradition tells us that the king-
dom of Sweden was founded be-
tween 600 and 650 A. D., by a union
of the country’s two mest power-
ful tribes: the Svear (Swedes) and
the Gotar (Goths). It is net known
how this union .was brought about,
but it is known that the Goths, al-
though obliged to recognize the
Swedish king as their own, were
allowed to keep their land and lo-
cal self-government.

“Here, boy,” said the man to a
sleepy-looking lad who was loung-
ing at the entrance to some apart-
ments. “Where does Mr. Smith
live?”
‘Til show you, sir,” said the lad
And he started to climb the stairs
Up six flights he went with the
visitor following breathlessly.
Finally he paused at an open
door. “This is where Mr. Smith
lives,” he announced.
“He doesn’t seem to he at home,”
remarked the visitor.
“No, sir,” replied the boy. “He
was standing on the doorstep when
we came in.”

D.M. SMITH & SON
Panhandle, Texas
The horse trader stood watching
his young son exchange a rheumatic
old mare for a fine 'young colt.
When the deal was over he strode
up to the boy. “Congratulations,
son,” he said. “You’re just a gyp
off the old block.”
Blind as a Bat
“Did you give the mayor my
note?” a man asked of the mes-
senger.
“Yes, sir, but there ain’t no use
sendin’ that man any notes. He’s
blind as a bat.”
“Blind? How do you know? That’s
news to me.”
“Course he’s blind. Twice he asked
me where my hat was, and there it
was in plain sight on my head all
the time. Yes. sir, he’s blind as a
bat!”
UTICA, N. Y.—A sweeping flash
fire snuffed out the lives of 11 mem-
bers of one family awaiting rescue
from their flaming, two-story frame
dwelling. Eight bodies were re-
covered by firemen from the smok-
ing ruins. Six were children. One
was a woman, clasping an infant.
Fourteen scantily clad persons
fled from the building, Fire Chief
Leo Barry said. A couple and their
daughter, 19, were hospitalized with
burns after jumping from a second
floor window.
The walls of the long, ramshackle
building collapsed before most of
the second floor occupants who had
been asleep could get out.
Mary Hoage, 13, who was injured
when she jumped from a second
story porch into a snow bank, said
other members of her family were
huddled in one room waiting for res-
cue when the building collapsed.
Her father, Richard, was at work
in a garage.
“They all stayed in the front room
and yelled for help,” she said. “I
told the others I would catch the
babies if they would drop them to
me, but they said the firemen would
help them and they waited. That
was the last I saw of them.”
The II persons who reached safety
without apparent injury stood weep-
ipg at the ruins while firemen
searched. Cause of the fire was not
determined.

Police Save Brutal Father
From Death by Angry Crowd
COLUMBIA, S. C.—A husky, 6-foot
railroad shop laborer was rescued
from a mob shortly after, police
charged, he lashed his 11-year-old
son to death.
William A. Plott, Richland County
coroner, said a threatening crowd
of more than 200 people had gath-
ered outside the home of Thomas
Andrew White, 34.
“Only the arrival of the police
cars averted mob action against
White,” Plott said.
Chief of city detectives William
A. Rawlinson reported the 200-pound
father, formally charged with mur-
der, calmly admitted having tied up
his son in the bathroom and beaten
him into unconsciousness.
Rawlinson said the boy’s wrists
were tied together behind his back
and his body suspended by a rope
under the shoulders.
“He wouldn’t tell me the truth,”
police quoted White as saying, about
a dollar bill the boy had collected
yesterday. “I beat him and he
wouldn’t tell me.”
Rawlinson said the father called
the doctor when the boy failed to
regain consciousness.
