WASHINGTON, D. C.—Legislation
eliminating marketing quotas on cot-
ton during 1947 was signed Thursday
by President Truman.
The House agriculture committee,
in reporting favorably the joint res-
olution suspending the quota system,
said the war-created conditions had
removed the necessity for quotas.
The committee said that in view of
the current high rate of domestic
consumption, estimated at 9,000,000
bales for 1946, and the increase in
exports, estimated at nearly 4,000,-
000 bales, there will be a reduction of
2,000,000 bales or more in the carry-
over on Aug. 1, 1947, as compared
with the carry-over Aug. 1, 1946.

Hpusehold Hints
Outcome of the election Saturday
should serve to convince the people
that they cannot depend upon the ac-
curacy of the public opinion polls
published in some of the daily news-
papers. The Texas poll, which fore-
cast the election outcome, was badly
in error. It was inaccurate in its
forecast of every race, and should
-emulate the Literary Digest poll of
1932 and retire from the scene. It is
impossible for any election poll to be
accurate for the reason that it is im-
possible to interview enough voters
in the last few days before election
to get a clear picture. Many political
races are won and lost in the last
week, due to the swing toward one
candidate and away from another.

“BAIT” AS SWEET
A NAME AS ROSE
I take this method of expressing'
my appreciation for the splendid sup-
port I received in Saturday’s primary
election. There were six of us in the
race for sheriff. It was a clean race
and my five opponents are all fine
men and I enjoyed making the cam-
paign with them. I was fortunate
enough to be in the run-off, which I
appreciate very much. I am grateful
to the many friends who assisted me
in my campaign.
I am especially grateful for the
support given me in the communities
where I was born and reared. Out
of a total vote of 504 in Van Alstyne
I received 359 while my five oppon-
ents were receiving 145. In Howe I
led the ticket by 52 votes over my
nearest opponent.
Your continued support will be ap-
preciated.
Residential property in White-
wright has trebled in value in some
instances during the last few years.
One house which had sold for $600 in
the past brought $2100 a few months
ago. Another that sold for $1650 at
one time was sold last week for
$6,000. Any residence in town would
today bring at least twice what it
would bring a few years ago. A lot
of folks who a few years ago were
prophesying that Whitewright prop-
erty values would forever remain at
the then low ebb are now wishing
they had had the foresight to buy up
some of the cheap property. It just
goes to show that you never can tell
what the future has in store for a
community. Maybe it is better that
way.

been kind to us, and we will return the favor

FEEDING HILLS, Mass.—An eld-
erly lady, who was obliged to spend
most of her time in bed, in a small
back room with but one window,
fpund some of her hours quite lone-
ly. Her greatest ,happiness was
When some of her old neighbors
found time to run in and chat a
while, but naturally they could not
be with her all the time.
One day a lad who had brought a
bouquet for her noticed that about all
she could see from the one window
when lying down was a portion of a
large apple tree, so he went out with
a new idea.
Gathering some odds and ends of
wood, he soon had a pretty bird
house constructed. Then he went to
the owner of the neglected tree and
obtained his permission to prune and
trim it; and when this was accom-
plished, he made a cozy nook for the
bird house.
It was in time to attract the early
spring birds, and the little house was
so popular that there was quite a
sharp contest for occupancy between
a pair of bluebirds and a pair of
tree swallows. The bluebirds even-
tually won, and the lady in the little
back room, has forgotten her loneli-
ness in watching their charming do-
mestic drama. First the homemak-
ing, accompanied by much song. Then
the brooding of the eggs, and finally
the hungry youngsters in the nest.
There has not been a lonely mo-
ment in her summer, thanks to a lad
who was taking thought for others
when he might have been thinking of
himself.—Christian Science Monitor.
facturers, wholesalers and retailers
that the American people have it
within their power to break high
prices. If enough people stop buying
a given article, the price of that ar-
ticle is bound to come down. If
enough people quit buying enough
articles, the price of living will take
a tumble. Of course, articles of food
must be bought; but the average
family wastes a large percentage of
the food it buys. By eliminating
waste and by purchasing the very
minimum of high-priced items, the
cost of food will have to come down
for the reason that shortages will be
eliminated. Such a buyers’ strike in
a few localities would have no ap-
preciable effect on the price struc-
ture, but a general buyers’ strike
would. When people have money,
they buy a lot more of everything
than they need. When they don’t
have money, they buy as little as
possible, and then you see prices
take a tumble.

Q.—In Mark 13:31 it says that
“heaven and earth shall pass away.”
I don’t see where the righteous will
go if heaven is destroyed along with
this world.
A.—There is no cause for alarm. It
is the atmospheric heaven that will
pass away at the day of the Lord. The
apostle Peter describes it as a great
explosion. “But the day of the Lord
will come as a thief in the night; in
the which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the ele-
ments shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are
therein shall be burned up.” 2 Peter
3:10. And then he adds: “Neverthe-
less we, according to His promise,
look for new heavens and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteous-
ness.” Verse 13.

t game which she had played for gen-
I erations with as much pleasure as
profit.
' This game, which combines the
! thrill of the hunt with the practical
benefits of economy, is known as
shopping around.
’ At times during the war the house-
wife didn’t dare shop. She was
afraid the item she wanted would be
gone when she got back. The OPA
! price had, moreover, an
sound, something that was fixed and
done, like an income-tax rate, and no
use arguing.
So she just took it, if she could pay
for it, and denied herself something
else when the budget ran dry.
But she threw awaji her govern-
ment crutches and got out her gun
when butter came back on the mar-
ket at champagne prices. She shop-
ped it back from $1 a pound to some-
thing in the 70’s. Meat quickly felt
the effects of her search for a bar-
gain and her renewed refusal to buy
| unless the price made sense in pro-
portion to her pocketbook.
Even the rapid rise of retail store
sales has levelled off, an indication
that customers no longer are buying
whenever they can get it but are
waiting until they need it, something
which harassed merchants and clerks
won’t mind. It will give them a
chance to restock their shelves, and
do a little bargaining of their own
with wholesalers.

Some people don’t seem to love
children as they should. Our sister-
in-law Kate is one of that kind and
she was positively nervous yesterday
when we took our bright grandson
Superior to see her. When Superior
happened to turn over a bottle of ink
on a nice rug, we could tell from the
look on our sister-in-law’s face that
she wished he hadn’t done it. When
cute little Supertor pulled down a
vase and broke it Kate almost
flushed with something like anger,
although the vase wasn’t broken into
more than three or four pieces. Later
on when Superior climbed on the
back of Kate’s chair and began
pounding her on the head with his
toy automobile, she actually got up
moved away. We just can’t under-
stand people who dislike innocent
little children like Superior.

Art Ross Jr., former fighter pilot
who, four days after D Day in Nor-
mandy, bailed out of his plane into
occupied France.
Last August Ross took all the mon-
ey he could scrape together and
went back to Normandy to look for
the French men and women who had
hidden him, fed and nursed him back
to health, and started him on his way
to liberty. Of the 20 people who had
risked their lives for him, he found
19; the 20th had been killed in the fi-
nal fighting.
Ross found and bought food and
clothing for them, and they needed
both. In Moult, a small town where
he had been harbored in a room next
door to a Nazi major, the populace
turned out in force to welcome him
back. And the mayor had a gift for
him: Ross’ wrist watch, found in the
ruins of the mayor’s house after a
raid.
There are perhaps 5,000 veterans
in the United States, Ross estimates,

HANCOCK, N. H.—Martin Smith’
is only 6 years old, but listen to his
fish story.
Martin, unaware of shortages, had
trouble finding bait. He couldn’t
find any worms, and his request to-
his mother for some bread dough,
was turned down.
Young Martin did not give up,,
however, but fastened two rose petals
on his hook.
Almost instantly, he hooked
perch. And, using the same bait,
caught a second one. The fish were
about seven inches long.
That’s Martin’s story, and his fam-
ily backs him up.

daughters are unusually good she' _ _
something unusually bad. j I BIBLE QUESTIOnS
A new kind of club is being organ-
ized in this country—its members:
veterans of World War II who owe
their lives to courageous people in
occupied countries who sheltered
them and helped them escape; its ob-
ject: to find and repay in some small lon^in the days of the apostles? (See
measure their saviors. Its founder is [ j peter 5:13.)
A.—Yes, Babylon was still a large
city in the days of the apostles. Sev-
eral centuries later it was complete-
ly destroyed, and today it is a deso-
lation.
Q. Do you not believe that those
four strange animals mentioned in
the seventh chapter of Daniel are
new species that will be developed by
science?
A.—No. They are not literal ani-
mals at all, but symbols of great
world powers. Daniel 7:23 says: “The
fourth beast shall be the fourth
kingdom upon earth.” The first
beast was the- first kingdom, or
Babylon; the second, Medo-Persia;
the third, Greecia; and the fourth,
Rome.
Q.—Will not Christ’s coming be a
silent growth of good?
A.—The New Testament says, No.
“For the Lord Himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first: then we which
are alive and remain shall be caught
up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so
we ever be with the Lord.
