the company’s biggest cotton-picking
machine, complete with tractor.
A Harvester official said the price
increases were forced by higher costs,
for steel and steel parts used in the
manufacture of farm machinery, plus
new wages increases amounting to
$14.5 million. Higher transportation
costs also figured in the company’s
decision to raise prices, he said.

VanZandt Debunks
His Opponent’s
Political Propaganda
Vanzandt’s opponent says: “Give a
young man a chance.” What chance?
Is it that chance to serve in the Leg-
islature drawing $25.00 per day while'
he continues his law studies in the
University of Texas at the expense of
the people he represents?
The important and responsible of-
fice of State Representative from
Grayson and Cooke Counties requires
the full time of its Representatives
while the Legislature is in session.
OLAN R. VANZANDT, if elected,
will give this district that character
of representation.

Psychology Helps
Battle Against Bulges
STORRS, Conn.—A University of
Connecticut nutritionist said Sunday
a little ' self-applied psychology can
be a big help in the battle against
bulges.
Dr. Martha, Potgieter, professor of
food and nutrition, suggested that a
woman trying to lose weight should
buy herself a stylish, flattering dress
one or two sizes too small.
“It will give her something to work
into—or work down to if you want
i to be technical.”
“All that an overweight person
needs,” she said, besides the incen-
tive, “is an ordinary unspectacular
diet high in fruits, vegetables, lean
meat and skim milk and low in
starch, sugar and fat. This sensible'
diet is one easily obtained over the
grocery store counter and out of the
back yard garden.”

BENTON HARBOR, Mich.—Two
young pranksters who let the air out
of the tires of a parked car had the
tables turned on them by the car’s
owner, who had caught them in the
act.
While the boys’ fathers and car
owner Ralph Black stood by, the two
youths pumped the tires full of air
again—with a hand pump.
