S. D. A. War Board, has announced.

Processed Rice
Placed Under
Price Ceiling
Processed rice was placed under
a price ceiling at levels approxi-
mately those of December, 1941
The prices were fixed by the Office
of Price Administration on the four
leading varieties of milled rice at
$9.75 for Rexoro, $7 for Blue Rose,
$(S.05 for Prolific, and $7 for Amer-
ican Pearl.
Those prices ore for 100-pound
bags F. O. B. carrier at four desig-
nated base points, El Campo, Crow-
ley, Stuttgurt (Arkansas), und San
Francisco. The prices should prove
attractive enough to stimulate 1942
crop plnntings, O. P. A. said, and
should not tend to depress the price
of rough (raw) rice below the legal-
ly prescribed level of last Decem-
ber.

Dr. Gerald Livengood Postcards;
Comment On S. A.'s Crooked Streets
Dr. Gerald Livengood, likeable young intern at San An-
tonio’s Medical and Surgical Hospital, postcards:
“Have a few minutes so am dropping you a line. They
have been keeping me busy as a little bee but I’m getting fat
anyhow—and it’s in the waistline, darn it. I never could
keep from eating and they let me eat all I want.
“Am getting acquainted with these crooked streets and
can drive down town without getting lost anymore. Saw' Tom
Anderson several weeks ago and he’s the proud father of a
big girl now’.”

In regards to San Antonio’s crooked streets, the
writer was in San Antonio a couple of weeks ago and we
had a heck of a time finding the Bedell Building. Once
we get on Broadway we’re all right. If you have plenty
of time and don’t mind wondering around in circles, we
not only recommend driving in San Antonio but New
Orleans and Mobile.
White Squirrel Is Found By Ed Hurta
On Tres-Palacios Near Midfield
The writer was interested in this article from last week’s El Campo
News: ‘‘Black squirrels are rare these days but even more of an
oddity to hunters is the white squirrel.
“Edward Hurta, while looking for turkeys on his mother’s place
on the Tres-Palacios near Midfield last week discovered a white squirrel
and with the aid of other members of the family, captured it.
"For several months neighbors reported they saw a pair of
white squirrels in that vicinity. A thorough search on the part of
young Hurta failed to find the white mate. He intends to continue
the hunt.
“Young Hurta refused all offers for the squirrel. He had it in a
cage while on a visit to El Campo Saturday, and wds careful to show
interested bystanders that it had keen eyesight and was not an albino.”

Victoria’s head football coach,
Pap Perkins, resigned the other

the Corpus Christi Buccaneers.
Perkins, a three-letter man at
The University of Texas, turned
out some well-coached teams at
Victoria. Last year his Stingarees
beat Bay City in a thrilling hard-
fought game.
In 1933, with Stokes, Stoner,
and Garner leading the way, his
aggregation beat a bunch of us
for the bi-district title. We still
had a big season though: We won
the first district grid champion-

A SERVICE INSTITUTION
......—<3
The red, white and blue Humble
oval has always been the symbol of alert,
interested service to the motorist. Today,
Humble, like every other American or-
ganization, is devoting its resources and its
abilities first of all to the nation’s war effort.
And here at home, Humble products
and Humble service men stand ready to do
their part, too—by helping you care for
your car—for your country. Accurate tire
inflation may mean as much as 25% extra
wear from your tires ... an oil leak, caught
at once, may save a costly repair bill . . .
Weekly hydrometer tests help keep your
battery in top-shape. And those are some
of the reasons why thousands of Texas mo-
torists look for the Humble sign when they
need service.

Register June 30
President Roosevelt summoned
3.000. 000 of America’s young men
Friday to register on June 30 and
complete the survey of manpower
available for fighting or making

age—nearly 40,000,000 of them.
Those 18 and 19 years old can-
not be drafted for military service
under existing law, but some of
them might be mobilized along with
older men for service in war plants.
The Bureau of Research and Statis-
tics of the Federal Security Agency
estimated that as of April 1 there
were 2,483,000 men in that age

waters at their own risk and must

Electric Appliances
WILL LAST LONGER
With Proper Cere dnd Rep dir
THERE WILL be practically no more new Electrical Appliances
made until the Axis is crushed. No loyal American hesitates
a moment to say: "Good! Put the materials in ships and planes
and tanks until the enemy is completely destroyed."
The appliances you now have and those your dealer has
available can be made to last this country for the duration,
however. There's a lot more endurance built into your refrig-
erator, your washer, toaster, fans and other household equip-
ment than you might realize.
Make repairs promptly and keep your appliances working
for you. During war, when there are so many demands upon
your time for defense work, there's more need than ever to
make full use of labor-saving devices. If your appliances are
out of fix, see the dealer from whom you bought them or a
good repair shop. CPI will gladly help you locate the repairs
you need.

Your electric service company has been fortunate
in obtaining a limited number of books entitled "The
Care and Use of Electrical Appliances in the Home."

distribution and we have a copy at our office for you
now. Call or write at once for your FREE book, as
it's a case at "first come, first served."
This handsomely illustrated book tells the proper
use of nearly every electrical device made for the
home, and tells you how to get longer life out of
your appliances; get yoursl
