One major cause of inflation is a short-
age of goods when people have money
to spend for things they want
Yet that is what inflation can do to all
of us. Therefore, thoughtful people
everywhere are concerned with ways to
smother it before it gets out of hand.
BUT THERE’S A BOTTLENECK
During the war there wasn’t enough
labor and materials to meet the needs
of war and still produce all the civilian
goods people wanted and could buy.
That cause can be eliminated by the
production of goods — fast — in quantity.
You don’t want your savings to melt
away! Or the value of your life insurance
to dwindle!

An invitation to every Texan to

Seals is extended by Bobby Harbi-
son, seven, of Odessa. The thir-
teenth annual sale of Easter Seals
finances the work of the Texas So-
ciety for Crippled Children in the
location, medical treatment and re-
habilitation of Texas’ handicapped
youngsters. Bobby, who fully ap-
preciates the helping hand given
crippled, little bodies, is undergoing
treatment provided at the Texas
Scottish-Rite Hospital in Dallas.

QUICK RELIEF FROM
Symptoms of Distress Arising from
STOMACH ULCERS
DUE TO EXCESS ACID
FreeBookTellsofHomeTreatment that
Must Help or it Will Cost You Nothing
Over two million bottles of the WILLARD
TREATMENT have been sold for relief of
symptoms of distress arising fromStomach
and Duodenal Ulcers due to Excess Acid -
Poor Digestion, Sour or Upset Stomach,
Gassiness, Heartburn, Sleeplessness, etc.,
due to Excess Acid. Sold on 15 days’ trial!
Ask for “Willard’s Message’’ which fully
explains this treatment—free—at
w. F. MEYER & CO.
Why? Because price controls in peace-
time hinder the production of goods.
Business cannot live by producing at a
loss. And so, goods that can’t be made to
sell at the prices fixed by the government
just don’t get made.
Nor will the raising of price ceilings
solve the problem. When costs and selling
prices are subject to change at any mo-
ment by government action, production
has to be on a day-to-day basis.
That means uncertainty . • • reduced
output... more inflation.
ISN’T THIS THE ANSWER?
Remove price controls on manufac-
tured goods and production will step up
fast.
Goods will then pour into the market
and, within a reasonable time, prices will
adjust themselves naturally — as they al-
ways have — in line with the real worth of
things.
Competition has never failed to pro-
duce this result.
This is the way you can get the goods
you want at prices you can afford to pay.
Please think this over. Then tell your
representatives in Congress what you be-
lieve should be done. You owe it to your-
self . . . and to your country’s welfare.
Therefore price controls on civilian
goods were substituted for competition
to keep prices down.
Today this country has all the labor and
materials necessary to turn out the things
people Want.
Yet goods are still scarce. Store shelves
are still bare. The national pocketbook
continues to bulge. Inflation grows.

DEMONSTRATION
AGENT’S COLUMN
By Mrs. Louise Harper
Are You Raising Vegetables?
Ways of handling seeds to in-
sure success in raising vegetables
were emphasized in an educa-
tional exhibit on display at
Weige’s Store in Bellville last
week. The well planned exhibit
was arranged by . a committee
from the H. D. Council.
The exhibit , was a timely one.
In February President Truman
called for an increased empha-
sis on gardening as a means of
helping relieve the critical, world
food situation. February 28 an
appeal was made to all Exten-
sion Directors to urge all people
to have a garden. Texas needs a
million gardens again. Do your
share by raising’ vegetables for
your family. “Food is still one of
the most vital weapons in secur-
ing a stable and lasting peace.”
During the war gardening was a
patriotic duty. Now it is a prac-
tical matter. Much of our food
will be diverted to Europe. We
will not be short of food; but it
may be inconvenient ito get the
kind of food we want when we
want it. Produce a variety of
foods for your family. Conserve
as much as is needed by follow-
ing the very best methods. Cook
food properly. Save food—waste
nothing. Have enough food to
eat; but share food with others
so they may live.

Don and Ginger Ray Hadley of

She is enroute now to Reynosa
Mexico to fulfill a three weeks
