'of Alaska, with mink, marten,
otter, muskrat, beaver and fox
being the principal sources.

ttTT'OR several years,” says Doris M. Van Cleaf, 2020 St. Paul Street,
* Baltimore, Maryland, ‘‘I was what is known as a worry-wart. Though
no worse off than many, and not as bad as many others, life had seen
fit to deal some successive hard blows. Where previously I had met all
things in my stride, suddenly everything was difficult and too much to
cope with. I was down, physically, mentally and spiritually. Worry be-
came my bed-fellow and my constant companion. In
vain I put my troubles in the Hands of God. In vain?
Yes, because I repeatedly took those same troubles
back to worry over them. Then through the persua-
sion of my lawyer I started a course in public speak-
ing and human relations, where I learned to live one
day at a time, to think neither of the past nor the
future, to think only of the day I was living.”
“I learned to face my problems squarely and to
handle one thing at a time.”

Q—Will the recent moves in England to impose tight money controls
and other measures to prevent inflation have any effect on the
American economy?
A—Economists are in disagreement. Some se<* a period of inflation
ahead with a continued rise in wages and in industrial prices. Oth-
ers say we are in for a period of stability as to prices and produc-
tion. However, some profess to see in the President’s set-up a
“brain” reserve of businessmen through the Office of Defense
t Mobilization and the Administration’s possible backing of a stand-
by Price and Commodity Control Act, some reason to speculate on
a possible inflationary spiral in this country.
Q—Can you tell me how much paper currency is printed?
A—The Bureau of Printing & Engraving prints about $44 million in
paper currency daily.
Q—When was this Bureau established?
A—It was established by Act of Congress July 11, 1862. Prior to that
time paper money was printed under private contract. The Bureau
also prints all government bonds, notes, stamps and other work
for the Treasury Department.
Q—What is the oldest U. S. flag now in use.
A—The “Revenue Marine Service” flag of the Coast Guard, which has
remained in use and unchanged since March 2, 1799. It consists
of 16 perpendicular, alternating red and white stripes, represent-
' ing the 13 colonies and Vermont, Kentucky and Tennessee; and a
white union bearing the United States coat of arms surrounded
by 13 stars in a semi-circle.
Rev. Robert H. Harper
Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper.
Lesson for March 18: Luke 22: 7-23.
Golden Text: l Corinthians 11: 26.
Luke tells of the preparation
that was made for the feast of
the Passover, the great national
ceremonial that commemorated
the deliverance of the Hebrews
from Egyptian bondage. It drew
thousands to Jerusalem in the
time of Christ, and it was certain-
ly a fit time for Jesus to institute
the Sacrament that would for ever
commemorate his deliverance of
men from the bondage of sin.
It was evidently after the Pas-
chal meal when Jesus instituted
the Sacrament of his Supper—us-
ing the bread that had been pre-
pared for the Passover and the
same cup. It appears that Judas
had left the upper room and was
not included in the first Sacra-
ment. This was indeed fitting in
view of the fact that Judas was
going out into the darkness to
complete his bargain to betray his
Lord for thirty pieces of silver.
'When Jesus told his disciples
of the new covenant, the “new
testament” in his blood, he plain-
ly indicated that he was himself
the Paschal Lamb sacrificed for
sin. The bread represents his
body, broken for men. The Sac-
rament therefore ever speaks to
men of the atonement Christ made,
and the celebration of it is a great
aid to faith. It provides an oppor-
tunity for men to confess their
faith and declare it to men, while
offering the privilege of a plea for
the continued need of Christ.
ing in the agricultural production
of the state, said Thurmond. The
continuing widespread drouth
over the state has played a major
role in expanding irrigation along
with the efforts of producers to
boost yields to beat the cost-price
squeeze.

Amarillo To Get
Good Old Carson
Water By June 1
The City of Amarillo expects
to relieve its summer water short-
age with 10,000,000 gallons a day
from Carson county. The new
45.inch pipeline is expected to he
in operation by June 1.
The wells are expected to make
1,000,000 gallons a day each. Ten
will be ready by June 1 and 5
more will be ready shortly there-
after to increase production.
Amarillo is installing a new
pump station to take care of the
additional water from Carson
county.
Panhandle people who travel
on the farm to market road west
to Rock Island track and south-
west to Amarillo can see the pipe-
line being installed.
T)ert Prim possessed one trait
■D Qf character more outstanding
than the others. It was a love of
plenty, which Bert indulged to the
best of his ability.
He bought socks and handker-
chiefs by the dozens, shirts and
ties by half-dozens. Seven suits
hung in the closet of his furnished
room and he kept plenty of cig-
arettes on hand.
This lavishness limited the vari-
ety possible, but that was alright.
Bert’s next outstanding trait was
things outside his means.
He ignored them; satisfied with
wearing plenty of good clothes,
smoking as much as he liked,
eating plenty of good food and
going to the bath room twice a
day to brush his teeth.
For both exercise and recreation
Bert often took long walks, and
that is what led to the events that
make this story. Bert had walked
to the edge of town, crossed the
tracks, then doubled back in a
sort of dog-leg along Industrial
Row.
Deciding to turn back, and
feeling the need of one of his
generous meals, he took the short
cut across the railroad switching
yards. There, two Knights of The
Steel Trails waited for a favor-
able freight train; or for any-
thing else that would be favor-
able to them. Sir Spike Donovan
saw Bert coming and spoke to
Sir Butch Radke.
“Chee, Butch! Pipe da swell.
What say we brace him?”
Sir Butch looked hastily about.
“Sure t’ing. Might’s well.”
They ‘braced’ Bert with a skill
that bespoke much practice. Butch
flattened himself out of sight
against a building, while Spike, in
full view, accosted Bert.
“Say Guv’nor, hows about
blowin’ us to Joe an’ sinkers?”
“I beg your pardon?” Bert
knew some slang but was not
versed in such glib use of it.
“I said-” Spike enunciated
clearly, “How about stakin’ us
to coffee an’ cakes?” For further
clarity he added “We aint et yet.
f The world’s largest wind tunnel
Is at Tullahoma, Tennessee. It
uses motors totaling over 200,000
horsepower to produce gales in
excess of 3,500 miles an hour.
His assurance, and a certain
belligerance was disconcerting to
Bert. “Why-uh- I guess so.”
Bert felt for change, and finding
that he had none, drew out his bill
fold. Then the sky descended upon
him, landing exactly between his
hat brim.
When Bert awoke his first sensa-
tions were nausea, a splitting head-
ache, and a sure instinct that he
had best keep his eyes closed.
His hand came up and tenderly
explored the sore area near his
ear. Dried blood in the short hair
had made it course and stiff.
Then he realized his other hand,
down near his knee, was touching
something very similar; some-
thing roughly spherical in shape,
unyielding, and covered with the
same course shagginess. Another
head!
. Startled, he moved his hand.
It came to rest on another! In
panic he felt all about him. More
of them; as far as his arms could
reach! A lumpiness beneath his
body attested that he was lying
upon yet more of them!
Bert recalled gruesome things
he had read about the charnal
pits of medieval and Renaissant
times where dead bodies had been
thrown together helter skelter
Then there was this clacking and
jouncing. He was- -!
Vaguely he recalled a man in
the freight yards and a menace
that had been behind him. Then
he knew. Someone had struck
him; had taken his hat and coat
as well as his watch and money.
His throat ached drily and he was
very hungry. What would he do?
He was on the verge of hysteria
when he drew himself up sharply.
It could be worse, he reasoned.
Suppose, for instance, he had
really been where he first thought?
Somewhat cheered by this sense
of escape, he looked about the car
breadth, and the depth of the load
again, gauging its length, its
on which he sat.
“Anyway-” he said philosophi-
cally, “There are plenty of coco-
nuts.”

6.200.000 Acres
Of Texas Land
Under Irrigation
COLLEGE STATION—An esti-
mated 6,200,OQO acres of Texas
crop and pasture lands were under
irrigation last year. The figures
were obtained by R. V. Thurmond,
irrigation specialist for the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service,
from the county agents of the
state and was completed in Sep-
tember, 1955.
Thurmond received reports from
238 counties which showed that
5.867.000 acres wpre irrigated by
gravity and just over 350,000
acres by sprinkler systems. Total
farms using supplemental irriga-
tion numbered 39,218. Wells,
42,674 of them, supplied the water
for 4,940,000 acres,
As to crops and pastures re-
ceiving the water, Thurmond said
almost two million acres of grain
sorghums and only a slightly less
acreage of cotton were irrigated
to lead all other crops by a wide
margin. More than half a million
acres of vegetables and just under
a half million acres of rice were
also irrigated. Pastures, tempo-
rary and perennial, totaling more
than 250,000 acres were followed
by alfalfa, orchards (mostly
citruc), and a long listing of other
crops.
The total estimated cropland
harvested in Texas in 19 55 was
24.9 million acres. A comparison
of the total harvested acreage and
that -receiving supplemental irri-
gation brings into sharp focus
the importance that water is play-
