Seven 4-H pantry shelves have a to-
tal of 722 No. 2 cans und 496 No. 3
cans valued at $325 of pork and beef
roasts, steaks, chili, hamburger moat,
. head cheese,
and mincemeat as a result of the eight
meat canning demonstrations given in
Matagorda and Fort Bend counties.
With a trained meat committee of
three in each community to continue
these meat cutting and canning dem-
onstrations agents 12 beeves have
been canned by improved methods.
These committees received their
training at the countty-widie meat
school held at Blessing, Nov. 9 and
10. At this demonstration both porker
and beef were butchered and proper
methods of killing, curing and cann-
ing were demonstrated by the visit-
ing specialists. Mr. Roy Snyder and
Miss Lola Blair, College Station, be-
ing assisted by Mr. Montague and
Mrs. Sides.
On the first evening some 35 men
were present to see the animals
properly butchered. The next day 29
men and 88 women were present to
see the cutting and canning demon-
stration.
With this many trained people to
help carry on this work there is no
need for any farm family not having
their pantries full of everything good
to eat for the coming months.
As a result of three cheese dem-
onstrations given by home demon-
stration agent to council members, 13
clubs report having given the dem-
onstration in their own communities
and report 44 pounds of American
cheese made this month.
You are invited to be present at our
regular club meetings.—Reporter.

congress. That the stabilization pro-
visions of the act will lie repealed is
a foregone conclusion. Farm organi-
zations unite in this view. Whether
congress will appropriate additional
funds for use of the federal farm
board remains to be seen. Under pres-
ent stringent economic conditions in
this country such action on the part
of congress will be frowned upon
by an unsympathetic public. Not-
withstanding this, farm leaders will
insist Upon replenishment of the
$599,000,000 revolving fund; they will
fight to a finish any move to abol-
ish the board, and they are definite-
ly opposed to the transfer of its
functions to another department or
bureau.
And so once more we stand upon
the threshold of important develop-
! inents in the way of farm relief. Four
years ago the United States Chamber
of Commerce became interested in
the subject. The chamber, by vote
of its membership, approved the
present marketing act. This year the
chamber is again keenly interested
in the farm problem. The chamber
represents big business and there is
a close relationship between the in-
dustries which its members repre-
sent, and the agricultural districts.
But the public as a whole, as tax-
payers, are equally interested in the
matter and should closely follow de-
velopments in Washington. The agri-
cultural marketing act was "slipped
over.” We should be more on our
guard against dangerous and costly
legislation of this character.—Cotton
Digest.

The lesson-sermon will also include
citations from the Christian Science
,, textbook. ‘Science and Health with
* Key to the Scriptures.” by Mary
i Baker Eddy; among those will be the
£ : following: “Christian Science brings
• to the body the sunlight of truth.
■ which invigorates and purifies.
’ Christian Science acts as an altcrna-
A i tive, neutralizing error with truth. It
changes the secretions, expels hu-
mors. dissolves tumors, relaxes rigid
muscles, restores carious bones to
soundness. The effect of this science
is to stir the human mind to a change
of base, on which it may yield to the
harmony of the divine mind.'

Legally the state of Kansas has
been dry for lo! these many years.
Actually it is dry from the want of
rain, according to one of our sub-
scribers. E. M. Tyson of Ness City.
Mr. Tyson, in renewing his sub-
scription says: “No doubt you have
had a little rain in the Gulf Coast.
Out here, however, we had no rain
all fall and in the western part of
the state there has been no snow.
The weather here is dry, fair with
no cold weather yet, although Kan-
sas nights are cool enough for ice
about one-fourth Inch each night.”

"God the Only Cause and Cre-
ator,” was the subject of the lesson-
sermon in all hurches of Christ, Sci-
entist. Sunday, Dec. 4.
The golden text is from Psalm 75:
"Unto thee, O God, do we give
thanks, unto thee do we give thanks:
J for that thy name is near thy won-
drous works declare.”
Included with other passages to be
read from the Bible will be the fol-
lowing from Matthew 8: “And when
Jesus was come into Peter's house, he
saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick
of a fever. And he touched her hand,
and the fever left her: and she arose,
and ministered unto them. When the
I even was come, they brought unto
him many that were possessed wit^
rnent will revolutionize the economic
depression, however I believe it will
help wonderfully. Away from that
argument. I believe and always have
that education and liberality go fur-
ther to engage morality and temper-
ance than all the force in the world.
They used to force people to believe
in certain religions—that is as for-
eign to the purpose of religion as
forcing people to do that which they
are not doing anyway—be temperate,
in drink. We believe as the countries,
much older than are we, that the
only way to bring about temperance
is to make drinking in excess a moral
and social crime, not a legal crime.
It can’t be done by periodic legal
interference. Make drinking in ex-
cess a moral and social question and
society can better rule the liquor
question than can the courts.
When congress convenes on De-
cember 5 our legislators will again
be faced with the necessity of pro-1
viding farm relief for the hard-press- |
ed agricultural sections of the coun-
try. Already lobbyists are in ’
ington. making extensive prepara-
tions for the coming session, and
strenuous efforts will be made to
railroad some brand of farm relief
through the short session.
But few see any prospect of en-
actment of relief measures during the
December session. Other more press-
ing matters will command the at-
tention and the time of congress, and
it may he safe to predict that the new
president will be virtually forced to
call a special session following his
inauguration March 4. There will
be the usual clamor for the fulfill-
ment of campaign promises. This
was the case with President Hoover
in 1929. during June of which year
the agricultural marketing act came
into existence.
Tlie fate of the agricultural mar-
keting act will be decided by the new ,neHl *oa‘. hver paste.
