sell your grain—Top Prices with quick, courteous
service—and Morrison is prepared to deliver both.
We have just installed a new 20-ton, automatic-dump,
truck scale with a 34-foot. platform big enough to weigh
and dump the largest of semi-trailer jobs. Our receiv-
ing pit has been enlarged so as to take care of 400
bushels of grain at one dump and our elevator grain
moving capacity increased so as to move that- much
grain away in 10 minutes. There will he no delay when
selling Morrison your grain.
We guarantee top market prices, honest weights and
grades. We will store your grain on State Bonded Ware-
house Receipts and loan you money against them at
six per cent interest if you desire. We can serve you
well whatever your requirements.
May we have the pleasure'of buying your grain this
summer? Investigate others, then come and see us be-
fore you sell elsewhere, and
ALWAYS BUY

WHY be satisfied with anything; lees than the most
modern kind of ride, when you can travel in luxury
in an Olds with modern coil Kpring* all around? Coil
springe are the coming thing! They cannot squeak
or rattle. They never require lubrication. They are
not affected by temperature or weather. Above all,
being friction-free, they never erear out! You get the
same smooth, steady Rhythmic Ride, whether you’ve
driven a hundred miles dt a hundred thousand!
And what a ride it is! Level, gentle, perfectly stabi-
lized! Just come in for a trial drive. Take the wheel
of an Olds and put it through its paces. When you

plete unleaa it haa modern coil apringa all around!

so were the activities ot the traders.
They had sat bark most of the day,

near the end ot the session, some

The result, in the "thin" dealings

Fears National
Decadence Ahead
Unless this nation goes ahead
vigorously, persistently and speed-
ily to defend and conserve the soil
and to make-far-reaching adjust-
ments in our complex land econo-
my. national decadence liee ahead.
Louis P Merrill, conservator of Re-
gion 4 of the Soli Conservation Ser-
vice, warned Tuesday in the open-
ing address of the soil and water
conservation lecture at Teachers
College here
The regional conservator discuss-
ed "An Introduction to the Study of
Soil and Water Conservation " Oth-
er speakers later will deal In de-
tail with the social and economic
factors of erosion, farm planning,
agronomic and engineering prac-
tices. woodland and wild life man-
agement and flood control as they
pertain to soil and water conser-
vation
"Our careless and destructive
methods of land use have led to
the serious damage or outright ruin
of more than 280.000.000 acres of
farm and grazing land." Merrill said.
"From an area larger than the
combined states of Texas, Oklahoma.
Louisiana and Arkansas, all or most
of the original top soil is gone.
"People living on land made
hopelessly poor by erosion are facing
a social and economic level which
which should not exisit in civilised
nations In the light of hard, cold
facts, these people may become a
human liability—and their poor,
subtnarginal land is a liability Ad-
joining land has to shoulder double

CHICAGO GRAIN REVIEW
CHICAGO. June < 14 lAP) The
wheat market was firm In a light
trade today and prices advanced as
much as 7/8 cents a bushel at times.
Aiding the upturn here were high-
er Liverpool quotations, fears of rust
damage spread to the domestic spring
wheat area and disappointing re-
ports of harvesting Southwest A
Kansas City firm reported that the
first combined wheat at Galva. Kiu> .
tested 55 pounds and yielded only 7
to 8 bushels an acre
Wheat clotted unchanged to 5 8 up.
July 73—3,4-5/8. September 74-73
7/8; corn unchanged to 3/8 off. July
49 1/2-5/8, September 61. oats 18
up. July 34 1/4, September 32 14.
soy beans unchanged to 12 up. rye

Declaring that there is a need for
medical reform In the United States
as evidenced by the fact that near-
ly 40,000.000 people stand in want
of some form of medical care. Dr
Joe Ray of the Teachers College
government department spoke on
"Socialized Medicine" In the library
auditorium of the college Tuesday
afternoon In the second of seven
summer forums to be given this
year.
Thia figure, which was taken from
a report of the National Health
Conference, was in contrast with
the estimate given by the. American
Medical Association, who argued
that 40.000 persons would be n
closer estimate on medical-needy
citizens. Dr. Ray pointed out.
"Approximately 75 per cent of
the hospital beds of our nation are
vacant, indicating that we have the
facilities and services to take care
of those persons who are lacking In
money for proper medical treat-
ment," Ray said TYie speaker stated
that chronic Illness was far great-
er with the people of the indigent
and near-indigent class that it was
with those persons of higher in-
come.
One of the greatest evils In the
United Stales today la the fact that
so many people are In need of prop-
er medical care but will not accept
charity treatment because of self-
prlde, Ray said. In 1937 alone there
were one quarter of a million birtlis
without an attending physician be-
ing present.
Debate Question
In discussing the question of "So-
cialized Medicine," Ray stated that
in order to avert anyt attempt to tie
the movement up with socialism, the
Interscholastic League high school
debate question for next year would
be: "Resolved, that Texas should
adopt a system of complete medical
service available to all citizens at
public expense." Dr Ray is the au-
thor of this bulletin.
To have a system of this kind.
Ray said that the money for group
medical care would have to be rais-
ed through taxation
One of the most serious problems
of formulating the system of social-
ised medicine would be the adapta-
tion of the doctors to the new set-
up with their fullest co-operation
being assured, he said.
Citing the example of Russia,
where socialized medicine has been
in practice successfully for the past
few years. Ray stated that group
wqrk of this kind would be a tre-
mendous aid In the field of medical
research Where Individuals could
not carry on private research, the
government, by subsidizing the
fineot specialists and throwing open
its resources to the medical profes-
sion. could foster extensive work In
medical explorations, he added
Thursday afternoon at 4:35
o'clock Dr G A Odam, director of
the education department at the
college, will speak on "The Func-
tions of Public Education in the
American Democracy "
