American industry has done far more than
turn its plants from the production of the ne-
cessities and luxuries of peace to the produc-
tion of the instruments of war. It has boldly
pioneered new techniques. It has thrown old
production prejudices to the four winds. It has
worked on the basis that nothing is impossible.
The skeptics said, for instance, that the assem-
bly-line principle could never be successfully
applied to the manufacture of fighting air-
planes. F«rd, Boeing, Consolidated and other
plants have proved otherwise—in Seattle, San
Diego, Willow Run and elsewhere some of the
finest miltiary airplanes the world has ever
seen are being made almost as swiftly as auto-
mobiles were made in the old days. Skeptics

ienced. or by men who know the immense dif-
ficulties involved in the production and con-
servation of wealth.’’
From the pioneer days to the present time,
banking has led in the development of this
country. Banking helped push back the fron-
tier—even as banking made possible the
growth of the industries which are the souref
of our fighting power in time of war, and the
creators of an ever-rising standard of living in
time of peace. Banking has been at the fore-
front of the war effort, meeting with speed
and efficiency the tremendous demands made
upon it.
If we are to have a free world after the war
s over, it must be a world in which private en-
terprise, in all fields ,is protected and nurtur-
ed. It must be a world where there is full op-
portunity for the individual—not a world of
priviliged classes who live off the people.
That is the basic principle for which we art

Improving service ut a time when
highest service standards are im-
perative is the goal of the school
program, M'1 Holler said. Not only
will the set vice managers receive
latest service information from
!Central Office through these
sclv ols, but the new role of service
ns the primary function of the re-
tail operation will bo explained in
I detail
"Couneons, efficient service has
| always been a by-word with Chev-
rolet dealers,” Mr. Holler su’d
“Now, bee ruse service is the priti •
cipal guarantee for most motorists
of continued car operation, Chevro-
let is exploring every channel of
impn vement open to the service
organization. The better thp {’.eat-
er’s service operation the better
chance thn car owner has of main-
taining his own personal transpor-
tation in an era when such mode of
transport lias assumed unparallel-
ed importance.
"The necessity for acquainting
the motoring public with the value
of regular service check-ups is one
pcint that we hope to make vivid
through these new schools Only in
this manner can the service man
and the mechanic insure continued
operation of the millions of auto-
I mobiles whose horsepower must
work for victory.”

In the eight principal cotton-growing states of the
Southeast the average amount of tillable land per per-
son on farms is seven acres. In the corn state of Illinois
it is 25 acres: in the corn, wheat, and livestock state of
Kansas 45 acres. Though largely without the aid of
capital equipment, cotton nevertheless supports three
times as many persons per acre as any of the nation’s
other major crops grown on field scale.
This Is one very good reason why there can be no sa-
tisfactory substitute for cotton in 0ur individual every-
day purchases. As consumers granted by American
democracy the free choice of how to spend our dollars,
we have the democratic opportunity to buy the pro-
duct which provides nearly three million American
jobs. Picking cotton in our own personal purchases is
our best defense against fifth column invasion of sub-
stitute materials.

Vitamin A Potency In Butter
Depends On Green Feed
Butter used as a human food supplies some desirable fats, which
may be used as sources of energy by the body, and it also sup-
plies vitamin A potency. The vitamin A potency of butter is part-
ly due to vitamin A, which is a colorless compound.
While considerable experimental work has been done on the
vitamin A potency of butter lat from cows under various
conditions of feeding, little information is available as to the vi-
tamin A potency of the baiter being sold and consumed by the
public. Such information is desired by defense agencies dealing
with nutrition, and for this reason a study was begun of the vi-
tamin A potency of butter being sold in Texas. The data assembl-
ed up to date is being published so that it may be available be-
fore the investigation is entirely completed.
Samples of butter being sold in Bryan and College Station were
collected at several times. The butter fat was separated and analyz-
ed for carotene and spectra vitamin A by methods already pub-
llshedi. The carotene and spectra vitamin A in the butter fat were
calculated to U.S.P. units of vitamin A potency and the results
were Calculated to commercial butter With the assumption that
butter contains s2 per cent buter fat, the remainder being water,
curd and salt.
It has been well established that the vitamin A potency of but-
ter depends upon the carotene content of the food eaten by the
cow. For the highest potency, green feed Is required. When the
cows are not on pasture, the vitamin A content of the butter is
low.
The results are summarized in the tabic below. The dates given
are for the sample as purchased or received.
