PLUNKETT STAGE SHOW
AT BOERNE SOON
Three nights of vaudeville
and variety shows are scheduled
for Boerne on April 22, 23 and
24.
The Plunkett Shows, largely
what is termed a family show,
has a good road record of long
standing and formerly provided
most of the vaudeville bill with
the Harley Sadler troupe.
There are ten brothers and
sisters in the family and most
of them will be in the group to
be seen there. The company con-
sists of 20 persons and a com-
plete change of program will be
offered nightly.

GRANGE NEWS
Grangers were stunned by
the news of the passing of
another of our number. Mr. A.
J. Theis was a dear friend and
also a neighbor of a large num-
ber of Boeme Grange members
and held in very high esteem by
all who knew him well. It is
hard to understand why some
must leave our midst when they
seemingly still have the will
and vitality to spend many more
useful years here among us;
however these things are not
for us to question.
At the regular meeting of
the night of April 12th, an un-
usually large number of our
most faithful Grangers were
unable to attend due to illness
or for other good reasons. For
those who were able to be on
hand, it turned out to be an in-
structive meeting. A talk on
DDT by our fellow member, and
county agent, Mr. C. E. Nelson
and a general discussion on the
insecticide was of great interest
to most of us.
It was also decided during the
course of the meeting that the
Boeme Grange again take part
in the annual 4H Club Show in
Bexar Go. this year. The Grange
social, originally planned for the
latter part of this month, has
been postponed indefinitely.
With the admission of four
more new members to our
friendly circle, we now have a
total of eight new comers ready
to take their obligations. We
heartily welcome them all and
hope all of them can be with us
on the night of May 10th. when
we meet again.
The Plunkett’s have a new
beautiful tent theatre that seats
1000 people. They played here
last year to some very large
crowds.
A copy of their ad in this
newspaper entitles any lady a
free pass when accompanied
with one adult admission for
their first night’s performance,
April 22, it is announced.
A percentage of all shows will
be donated to the Veterans of
all wars building fund.
Rev. Floyd Harris returned
Friday from Poteet where he
conducted Baptist revival meet-
ings the past week.
COUNTY U. S. D. A. COUNCIL
URGES EVERYONE
TO HELP IN FOOD
CONSERVATION
We can all help the starving
millions of people who are fac-
ing a terrible hunger for the
next few months and who can
only be helped if all of the peo-
ple in the United States will
give this aid. It is determined
that the heaviest part of the
burden feeding them falls upon
this country.
If we in our homes can re-
duce our purchases of wheat
products by 40% and fats by
20 % we will have done our part.
It is a known fact that Ameri-
cans still throw away as gar-
bage sufficient foodstuffs to
feed many millions who are
now starving.
The President’s Famine Emer
gency Committee makes the
following recommendations for
householders:
Every day you can save wheat
in this way:
1. Prevent waste of bread. It
is estimated that 5 percent or
one slice out of every loaf of
bread baked every day goes into
garbage.
2. Uses less bread at each
meal.
a. Use potatoes, for example,
as alternates for bread. One
small serving of potatoes re-
places a slice of bread, nutrition
ally.
b. Use oat cereals more often.
A serving of oatmeal equals
two slices of bread, in food
value.
c. Use fruits and other des-
serts for pastries and cakes.
3. Use less wheat cereals and
other wheat products. Use alter
nate foods. If every man, wom-
an and school child in the United
States reduced the use of bread
by three slices a day in the
home, almost three-fourths of a
million tons of wheat would be
freed for shipment overseas in
the next 90 days.
Every day save fats and oils
at home in this way:
1. Make better use of meat
drippings for cooking and sea-
soning food. '
2. Serve fewer fried foods.
3. Save and re-use fats and
oils for cooking purposes.
4. Render excess fats on
meats and save bacon grease
for cooking purposes.
5. Salvage all fats that can-
not be re-used and turn them
in to your butcher or grocer.
6. Go easy on oils and salad
dressings.
A teaspoon of fat a day sav-
ed by every man, woman and
school child in the U. S. will
mean a total saving of at least
one million pounds of fat a day.
SAVE A LITTLE AND HELP
A LOT.
