On Local Women For
Saving Used Fats!
Things have really been hap-
pening to fat-salvage-collection
figures since town and farm
women got busy on the job! Lat-
est official government records
show that their fat savings have
Mt the excellent record of city
women 'way behind.
But it isn't a drop too much.
This year, we face a shortage of
j billion, 500 million pounds of
tats in domestic supplies. Tons
more of war and home-front sup-
plies made from fats are needed!
Farm folks get more meat theso
<3ays than most city people—so
it's up to them to save the fats.
Skim stews, soups, gravies. Scrape
pans. Melt down meat trimmings.
It all helps you fill the rat-sal-
vage can, and you get up to It
and 2 red points a pound. If you
have any difficulty, call your

Agent. Approved by WPA and
OPA. Paid for by Industry.

Fruit Peddlers
Mule Backs Into
Bay With Driver
There is a story about a mule
that belonged to an old Italian fruit
peddler. His mule was a contrary
animal, and for good reasons would
balk, or back at the most inoppor-
tune time.
One day after loading his wagon
with fruit at the dock, he gave the
mule the go signal, but with no re-
sults. In spite of all of his plead-
ings and pushing and pulling, the
stubborn animal would not budge.
Finally it started to back, and he
could not stop it. As the wagon
approached the edge of the dock,
the old man clung to the reins to
prevent impending catastrophe, but
to no avail. The mule backed into
the bay.
The old fruit vendor watched the
sad ending. Then, wiping a tear
from his eye, he muttered, "I hope
you got your— —satisfy."

SECRETARY ANDERSON
WOULD ELIMINATE
CATTLE SUBSIDIES
Secretary of Agriculture asks
the advice of the cattle producers
regarding a proposal to remove all
subsidies on cattle July 1, 1946.
Speaking for Texas cattlemen,
Joe G. Montage, council for the
Texas and Southwestern Cattle
Raisers Association, said Tuesday
that the advice of the association
will be to remove all price controls
as well as subsidies and allow tha
market to adjust itself as to prices.
Montage worded his statement
of the Texas cattlemen's position
to cover al langles of the proposal
of Anderson as outlined in letters
to leaders of the livestock indus-
try. In other words, sthe secretary
suggested that when the subsidies
are removed, that the industry ab-
sorb half the amount of the reduc-
tion and that the other halt be
passed along to the consumer as an
increased price for beef.
According to Montage, the
amount of the inventory value of
livestock that represented by sub-
sidies is astounding. For example
take a young fed steer, weighing
1,000 pounds—today that steer
carries on his back. $39, the sub-
sidy payment attributable to him.
A 1,500 pound steer carries $58 in
suosidy valuation. This may not
mean anything to those people who
want meat to eat and knoow noth-
ing of its production, but to us,
it is a tragic situation.

The war production record of Humble employees, in the field, in plants and
In offices, is a magnificent climax to a quarter of a century of teamwork by a
great organization. In this team are scientists, drillers, roustabouts, stenog-
raphers, geologists and glassblowers; men and women in hundreds of occu-
pations, all working toward one goal—supplying Oil for Victory.
Through their determination and singleness of purpose they have made
Humble first in four important fields.
FIRST to produce at one refinery one biMitan gallons of
finished 100-octane avoafrsstn gasoline
FIUST in production of synthetic toluene
FIRST in U. S. production of crude oil
FIRST in transportation of oiS by pipe Sine
This is the same combination of resources, know-how and
I
teamwork that brings you quality Humble prr Jucts for your car.
TEXAS' FINEST PETROLEUM PBOMCTS
The same skill and resources that pro-
duce Humble quality gasolines ard motor
oils go also into the making of ail Hum-
ble products: Industrial, farm, aviation
and marine fuels and lubricants, rust
preventives, household and automotive
specialties. Look for the Humble sign
when you buy gasoline, motor oil or
any petroleum product. Behind it lies
the experience of one of the FIRST names
in the petroleum industry.
