There are amusing little things
that happen in connection with
being the author of a book For
example a friend called this
columnist by long distance to
order five copies of I Give You
Texas 500 Jokes of the Lone
Star State So I went over to
a department store to buy five
copies of my own book I was
standing there waiting to be
waited on when n lady picked up
a copy and asked Have you
read this book
It was a temptation to say
Yes maam and its really terrific
But it would be just my
luck for some friend to have
walked up immediately afterward
and asked Boycc hows
your book going So 1 replied
Madam not only have
I read it but Im the fellow who
wrote it
She looked at the book looked
at me looked back at the book
and said Well I believe Ill
buy a copy anyhow
A notsowidelyknown Roy
Bean story
Scaffolding on the famous high
Pecos bridge collapsed and ten
men fell 300 feet to the rocks
Seven were killed instantly and
the other three were so badly
injured that there was no chance
of recovery Judge Bean was
summoned and arrived on a mule
from Langtry
The ten victims were laid out
in a row Over each one he pronounced
This man seems to have
come from his death by them
big timbers fallin on him
When a member of the coroners
jury objected that three were
not yet dead Bean replied
Theyre gonna die Do you
think Im gonna iiake another
30milo ride on a soreback mule
to hold another inquest Officially
and legally them fellows is
dead
Smiling bervice has been rationed
an advertisement says
This isnt correct certain services
have been rationed or
abolished entirely but smiles

say No to throw in a smile
Take Precautions
In Guarding Against
Sour Milk In Summer
Dairymen who sell milk to a
milk plant and have their milk
picked up by a truck on a milk
route very often have their milk
arrive at the plant sour The
milk plant has to refuse the milk
and send it back to the producer
This is a loss to the plant and
to the producer The majority
of the loss caused by the milk
being sour upon arrival at the
plant takes place in warm
weather This is due to the
fact that the bacteria develop
faster in warm milk than in
jold milk according to C C
Urookshier Swisher County
Agricultural Agent
To prevent this lbss it is nec
cessary to do two things First
have the milk cold when the
truck picks it up and second
milk in a sanitary manner so
there will be less bacteria in the
milk
In order to reduce the number
of bacteria in the milk the cows
udder flanks and in front of the
udder should be brushed and then
washed with chlorine water before
milking The udder should
then be wiped dry The milker
should then wash his hands and
dry them Then milk with dry
hands
The milker should use a seamless
straight edge or partially
covered milk bucket The bucket
should be rinbed out with
chlorine water
As soon as milking is completed
cool the milk down to
forty degrees if possible
If nights milk and mornings
milk are to be put in the same
can for delivery the mornings
milk should bo cooled before it
is mixer with the nights milk

Elliott made a trip to Ft Worth
and Dallas last week
A local man says that while
a lot of people refuse to accept
tho theory that onan descended
from a monkey they have never
been able to explain why it is
that man resorts to so much
monkey business

Whatever else happens after
the war of one thing wo may bo
nssured and that if that taxes
arc going to clntinue to be high
for a long time The National
debt will have reached a point
where the interest requirement
smnll though the rate is is going
to represent a big sum each
i year If times are good it maybe
paid without too much burden
but good or bad like a
mortgage on the farm it will
all have to be paid
I Wo have been living in hopes
that Congress would find someway
to collect our income taxes
othei thnn the estimate basis
It seems such an unscientific
wny to handle it
I am predicting a local man
said yesterday that Congress
will be forced in the end to levy
a fcdoral sales tax The income
tax the excise taxes and a fedo
lal sales tax arc all the tax
plans that the government needs
I do not ngreo that the sales
tax puts an unjust burden on the
little fellow It has not been
found so in the thirtyeight states
where n state sales tax is collected
nor has it been found
that the federal tax on gasoline
places nn unjunt burden on the
little fellow A snlcB tax is the
easiest tax paid and the most
economical tax to collect
Keeping secret tho news of the
recent conference of Allied leaders
succeeded in about the same
degree that the usual preparations
for Christmas arc carried
on without the knowledge of the
children of the average American

There appears to bo too ninny
nrm chair strategists ready to
criticize the various phases of the
conduct of the war It has been
suggested that some of these
quick onthetriggcr critics might
give tho country the benefit of
their expert knowledge by getting
into a uniform and shouldering a
gun nnd showing the boys how it
should be done
It is a common thing for
ministers to condemn war without
qualification We visited
with a minister recently however
who while he regretted the necessity
of war looks upon the present
was as n righteous and a
necessary war The very fact
that there existed the will and the
desire in tho world for an unarmed
world to face the highly
efficient and well prepared German
war machine in the defense
of liberty and Christion principles
is evidence of n high content
of Christianity in tho world
today at least among the Allies
he says Had we been content
he says to have sat idly by
and permitted the ruthless aggressor
to trample human rights
and rule the world Christianity
would have been set back hundreds
of years Dont let anyone
tell you he says that this isnt
a righteous war and that God
isnt on our side Every import
ant event since the beginning
of the war proves this The
big events that have happened to
the advantage of tho Allies have
not been accidents They are
but evidence that God is looking1
after his own and will lead thorn
to victory if they but persist
Somebody seems to have gotten
themselves in a hole At tho
time the pay increase was granted
the miners it was stated that
the increase was made up in the
shortened lunch period nnd that
no increase in the rate of pay had
been granted Now tho announcement
is made that the price of
coal will be advanced sixty cents
ft ton to make up for the extra
pay granted the miners Wo
would like to have some one explain
this to us
The question has been asked
supposeing that a now world

American Miss
Butter Most Of
All Rationed Foods
Of all tho rationed items
American consumers miss butter
most states the National Dairy
Council This is borne out in a
recent survey by the federal Office
of Civilinn Requirements in
which It was shown that butter
ranks first among the numerous
items of foods and other products
missed most by civilians
during the war period
There arc a number of im
portant reasons why butter is
in such high demand according
to Professor G 51 Wilster of
Oregon State College Butter is
jj one of the richest natural sources
of vitamin A Nutritionists have
shown that a deficency of this
vitamin in addition to causing

Professor Wilster It contains
nutritionally essential fatty arids
These are being studied further
by scientists
The chief reason for the desire
for butter is that practically
all Americans like to cat
it on bread and on rolls They
like the attractive natural golden
yellow color of butter and
also tho way it spreads Butter
is pliable and can easily be spread
without breaking up Then when
butter is in the mouth it melts
without causing a greasy sensation
The flavor of good butter
is something of its own In
short the eating quality of good
butter is preeminent
Green Pasture Cuts
Cost of Finishing
Young Turkeys
A green pasture for poults and
growing turkeys during the summer
months will materially cut
the cost of finishing a flock for
market
According to C C Brookshier
Swisher County Agricultural
Agent turkeys consume large
quantities of green feed If it
can be made available the amount
of mash and Grain a turkey eats
can be reduced by as much as 10
to 12 pounds during the growing
period This is equivalent to an
cstimnted saving of 20 per cent
in the normal consumption of
storehouse feed Furthermore

with good pasture producers can
expect tho greatest average
weight on the birds at market
time
Turkey growers are interested
most in economical production
and providing plenty of green
feed now and for the summer is
one of the most useful aids at
hand to achieve this Brookshier
says Plenty of green feed also
will increase the vitamin A in
take of the turkeys which means
Hint the birds will be more resistant
to disease
Not anly young turkeys but
chicks too need green feed and
growers can reduce cost of operation
by seeing that they get it
Brookshier adds The way to
provide It is to plant enough
to give the turkeys nnd chickens
all they will cat for the next
few months
