COUNTRY DEPOSITS
UP 137 PER CENT
Demand deposits in country
iauks (consisting largely of ordi-
ary checking accounts) increased
37 per cent from 1940 to April,.
944, according to the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. Such an
ncreasing body of idle funds,
aore than twice that of four years
igo, could cause inflationary trou-
>e if country depositors began us-
ng their funds to bid against each
>t.her for the purchase of land at
ncreasing prices, the BAE advis-
es. Already land values have risen
ilmost two-fiftjhs above their pre-
var average—an increase that is
nflationary in many areas. Fur-
liermore, in some of the principal
[arming areas the volume of land
sales in 1943 surpassed previous
ligh levels reached in 1919 and the
lumber of farms resold after only
i short period of ownership in-
creased. Following the inflation of
land values during tihe last war,
land prices broke sharply in 1920.
YOUNGEST FLIGHT OFFICER,
DAVID COLLIS AND WIFE
HONORED AT DINNER
MRS. OPAL CLEEK, Clerk
(continued from page 1 )
laud my own merits and qualifica-
tions. To those who do not know
me I earnestly solicit inquiry and
investigation. I will state, how-
ever, -that I have broad clerical
experience and believe I am qual-
ified for the office; otherwise, I
would not be seeking it.
“It is xny purpose and desire to
personally see as many of the vo-
ters as possible, but due to gaso-
line rationing and other restric-
tions, I shall probably be unable
to make a thorough canvass of the
county.
‘ ‘ If you believe me worthy and
qualified, I assure you your sup-
port will be greatly appreciated,
amd, if elected, my sole purpose
shall be to make a capable, effici-
ent, and courteous officer.
“[With this brief statement, I
place my candidacy before you,
earnestly soliciting your support.”

RE-EMPLOYMENT
FOR VETERANS
To be entitled to reemployment
rights under the. Selective Ac-t of
1940, the veteran must be honor-
ably discharged and must apply
for reemployment “within 40 days
after he is relieved from” training
service, according to National
Headquarters of Selective Service.
A soldier placed in inactive status
and transferred to the Enlisted
Reserve Corps at his own request
to engage in essential industry,
loses his reemployment rights if
he does not to his former employ-
er for reinstatement within 40
days after his transfer. A veteran
has recourse to the courts to col-
lect back pay if his reinstatement
is improperly delayed by the em-
ployer;
WPB; reports that housewives
will have to get along with short,
supplies of oilcloth for some time
to come because or the war need
for critical materials used in its
manufacture.

WEEDS COMPETE
WITH CROPS
Keeping the weeds down is the
most important part of cultivation
say garden specialists of the Dept,
of Agriculture. To get weeds out
of rows of seedling plants if may
he necessary to do some weeding
with the fingers instead of with a
rake or hoe. Killing the weed?
when they are small imakes the job
easier and gives the plants a bet-
ter chance from the start.

War Prisoners Aid
“The evil effect of confinement,
sometimes described as ‘Barbed Wire
Sickness’, is, during this year, very
-- much more in evi-
dence .than we had
noted previously,’’
writes the secretary
of War Prisoners
Aid of the Y.M.
C.A. in India.
“Multitudes have testified, however,
It the fact that our efforts in supply-
i lg educational, recreational and re-
I'gious materials, coupled with the per-
sonal visits to the camps, have greatly
retarded the development of this most
unfortunate condition. ... In the task
of befriending the men' and women
Behind the wire, the Y.M.C.A. is per-
forming one of its greatest services
during these days, and this service is
hound to have decided effects inter-
nationally after the struggle is over.”
The dreadful condition of boredom
and despair resulting from long con-
finement, and known as “Barbed Wire
Sickness” menaces many of the world’s
finest young lives. For, in the prison
camps today is a large percentage of
the ablest and most talented young
men of all the races.
It is to cure, and more especially
to prevent this destroyer of human
health and hope, that War Prisoners
Aid of the Y.M.C.A., a participating
service of the National War Fund,
provides world-wide programs and
materials of education, recreation, re-
ligion and vocational training for war

A SOLDIER OVERSEAS CALLS
HOME PAPER “OTHER EYE”
What does the hometown news-
paper mean to the American sol-
dier overseas?
One of the answers to that
question has been provided by Pfe.
Edwin Howard, a former reporter
on the Memphis Press-Seimitar, in
a letter to his father, J. Z. How-
ard, managing editor of the paper.
Writing from the Anzio Beach-
head, Private Howard said:
“One of the best things is for
a soldier to get his home news-
paper. Somewhere down in the
middle of the page, alongside
‘Prescott heads Red Cross Team,’
he reads how British and Ameri-
can infantrymen, fighting in ankle-
deep mud and blinding rain, threw
back another powerful Nazi at •
tack—somehow pretty important
to him.
“I don’t mean to sav that the
people at home don’t realize how
important this is over here (tho
perhaps many don’t). Actually, I
believe it is the men over here
who have the distorted view.
“That’s why I think it’s good
to learn that quadruplets are still
being born noAV and then, that.it’s
as hard as ever to pay income
taxes, and that lovely, _ innocent
young grls are still draging movie
stars into court.
“The whole thing is like look-
ing at the world through one lens
of a stereoscope, then opening the
o'fiher eye. The (hometown paper is
the ‘other eye.’ ”
Mrs. Zetta Edwards of Ama-
rillo visited friends 'here Thursday.
Her daughter, Mrs. A1 Jordan and
little daughter are moving to Am-
arillo.
IDENTIFY VETERANS FULLY
To facilitate promfpt reply and
to simplify identification, all mail
addresed to t)he Veterans Admin-
istration on matters concerning
veterans should give the full name
of the veteran, the date of his
birth, his serial number, rank and
organization and the ‘C’ and N
numbers on any checks or letters
received from the Veterans Ad-
ministration. The master index of
tthis agency contains more than
19 million names. Among these
are over 200,000 Smiths, of which
at least 12,000 have the given
name of John.

FARMERS SHOULD MAKE
THEIR LABOR NEEDS
KNOWN TO COUNTY AGENT
It is time for farmers to make
their labor needs known to the Co.
Agent’s office if the plan for mov-
ing labor with wheat havest is to
be made work successfully.
A central state clearing office
for labor has ben set up at Plain-
view. Agents from all parts of the
state are to imake information as
to labor supplies and needs, avail-
able to that office. Requests for
laborers are to be placed witti the
Plainview office and if a supply
of laborers are available, efforts
will be made to get the needed
workers into the county where
neede. A similar plan is to used
for combines and trucks. Before a
request for labor can be made to
the central office, bonefide requets
must be received in the local caun-
ty office.
How successful this plan works
wil depend upon the cooperation
of farmers making their needs
known far enough in advance of
the time when their needs actually
arise.
If there are combine and trac-
tor operators in Carson County
who would be willing to go out-
side the county to work in harvest
they should contact the local coun-
ty agent.
One roll of V-Mail weighs about
7 ounces, holds about 1,800 letters,
and saves 98 per cent in cargo
space, the Office of War Informa-
tion reports.
FARM LABOR PROGRAM
IS TO BE HANDLED BY
COUNTY AGENTS
Shown above are the six most likely invasion routes as seen by
Allied military strategists. Initial German reports, put the invasion
front opposite the south England coast, centering around the Seine river
estuary and the Seine bay, about 80 miles from the British side across
the English channel, along a stretch of about 75 miles of the French coast.
Passenger ear drivers now re-
ceive only 43 per cent as much
gasoline as fluey used in 1941, the
Petroleum administration for War
says. While Americans have reduc-
ed passenger car mileage from the
peacetime level of about 57 per
cent, the English have reduced
theirs by 88 per cent. _

“The Extension Service, A&M
College, has been given the job of
handling the farm labor program
in Texas, ’ ’ said W. K. Cottingame,
county agent. The county agent in
each county is charged with the
handling of it locally. This is a
job that no man can handle alone.
It can only be bandied by the co-
operation of all farmers.
Plans have been worked out, on
a State level, for an office to be
set up at Plainview to act as a
clearing hones for all labor and
combine needs in the state. Infor-
mation will have to be gathered
from farmers in each county as to
labor supplies and needs, and com-
bines available for local and out-
side county custom work as well
as the number needed to take care
of the loeal wheat harvest.
All farmers in Carson County
should contact the County Agent’s
office and give the information to
the program work. If farmers are
not willing to cooperate with the
local County Agents in giving the
necessary information, the plan is
doomed td failure from the begin-
ning. “With cooperation of all
concerned the plan can be made to
work successfully,” state the Car-
wn County agent, Mr. Cottingame.
