nancial plan may make their contri-
bution direct to E. L. Ready, Bruce
Bushey or myself.”

I)R. HOMER P. RAINEY
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
touched heavily on the low rating
of Texas in educating the public
health.
"We must all be ashamed,’ ’he said,
“that our state government spends
more money each year for game and
animal protection than it does to pro-
tect human life. More children die
each year in Texas than any other
state.”
Dr. Rainey called for a program
of industrial peace, for production
for the consumer, better and more
industry, a decent welfare program,
and "a host of other things,” and
asked the people of Texas to assist
him financially and by work in his
campaign this summer.

A LESSON FOR JOE
By Ina Gabriel Richmond
A little old lady, carrying a very
large bag, walked wearily down the
street one warm afternoon. Behind
her came three small boys.
“Watch me,” whispered one of
them. Then he picked up a medium
sized stone and rolled it down the
walk. It came to a halt a short dis-
tance from the old lady’s feet.
"Don’t do that! You might trip
her,” said one of the other boys.
"Auh, just watch me,” he said
again, and rolled another stone down
the walk. This one almost hit her
feet.
"Say, Joe,” said the third boy,
“that might be somebody’s grand-
ma!”
“Shucks!” was the answer, "Watch
me.”
The two smaller boys did watch,
and they were troubled, for Joe did
really cruel things sometimes. They
saw him walk boldly ahead and come
up close to the little old lady. She
looked down at him with a tired but
very sweet smile, and he looked up
at her. Her smile made him recall
what his companions had said.
“Sure—she might be somebody’s |
grandma,” he thought.
“Say,” he said to her at last, “could
I carry that bag for you?”
“Bless you, Sonny,” she answered,
“of course you could—for I was just
wondering if I could take it much
farther. You know it is quite heavy
for me, an dperhaps it will be too
heavy for you.”
“Oh, this is nothing for me,” said
Joe as he took the big bag and
trudged away beside her. “I’ve car-
ried lots of things heavier than this.”
“Well bless you,” said she again.
“They are apples that I am taking to
my little grandson. He must be about
your size.”
"Yes,” said Grandma. “Take an
apple yourself—and give one to each
of your little friends,” she added as
the others came up and looked on in
happy surprise.
“We must be almost there,” said
Grandma finally. “Yes. there is the
place.
They Stopped before a small white
house, and out came a small boy.
Right up to her he ran, and throw-
ing his arms about her happily cried,
“Well, if it isn’t Grandma!”
"These boys were very kind to me
and helped me, Bobby. Won’t you
give them some more of your ap-

The sweet potato is fast taking its
place as the main source of
starch. This is largely due to the
fact that starch can be produced or
extracted easily from sweet potatoes
and of the large volume that can be
produced per acre.
Starch and its derivatives are
used in the production of almost

every item of commerce — from
cream puffs to dynamite. In the
wastelands of the Florida Ever-
glades, the United States Sugar cor-
poration is carrying on vast opera-
tions in the producing and manu-
facture of sweet potato starch. They
now have requirements for 40 freight
cars of sweet potatoes daily.
The starch sweet potato is a spe-
cial variety developed and tested for
years. It grows as large as a man’s
head and contain a much higher
starch content than the table varie-
ties. The yields are from 500 to 700
bushels per acre.
By-products are also important.
Pulp stock-feed production as well
as the vines for livestock feed have
high nutritive value. The waste wa-
ter is decomposed and gas used in
power plant, the solids producing a
high quality fertilizer.
Not only for Florida, but other
sections where climate and soil pro-
duction is suitable, this industry will
prove of increasing interest and
value to farmers. It has proved finan-
cially sound and the need for this
quality starch is ever increasing.
“Not we,’ said one of the boys,
“but YOU.”
“Sure, that’s right,” said Joe. “But
you can never tell who you’re throw-
ing stones at. What d’you know about
that?” said he again, "Bobby’s own
