CHICAGO SHOW IS BIG EVENT

Finest Animals In Nation To Be Shown At

This Time

Chicago—^America’s finest Xarm animals from the farthermost sections of the continent, as well as from the Cornbelt and Chicagoland, will be gathered in Chicago’s International Amphitheatre the last of this month for the opening of the country’s largest annual showing of the finest products of farm and ranch, the International Live Stock Exposition and Horse Show. The Exposition will be on from November 29 to December 6, marking the 42nd annual renewal of this celebrated event. Huge Entry Reported Officials of the show report that earlier predictions that the total number of animals exhibited this year would exceed the 12,900 mark and have been realized after a preliminary tally of the entries which closed November 1. This year’s prize-winners will be picked by the 65 judges from 20 states and Canada, the management announces. They will name the winners in the contests of the week that will feature 26 different breeds of farm animals, pleasure horses, and a variety of farm

crops.

Chief task among the judging assignments is that of selecting the grand champion steer, most celebrated bovine winner of the year, from among the thousand or more top-notch beeves that will be exhibited by live stock experts, young and old, of the country and Canada.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

SERVICES

“Mortals and Immortals” is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, November 16. The Golden Text is: “As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly” (I Corinthians 15:48). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, whicl^ is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him; Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness” (Colossians 3:9,10,12,14). The Lesson-Cermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scsiptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Progress is born of experience. It is the ripening of mortal man, through which the mortal is dropped for the immortal. Either here or hereafter, suffering or Science must destroy all illusions regarding life and mind, and regenerate material sense and self. The old man with his deeds must be put off” (p. 296).

SCHOLARSHIPS TO BE AWARDED

One To Be Given Boy Or Girl In Each Of Ten Districts

BENEFITS UNDER INSURANCE TOLD

Depends Upon Average Monthly Rate Of Applicant

•

The amount of old-age and survivors insurance benefits to which a retired worker or member of his family will be entitled depends on his average monthly wage. As a rule, his average monthly wage can befigured by adding up all the wages paid to him in jobs covered by old-age and survivors insurance from the time the system began on January 1, 1937 up to the quarter in which he files a claim for benefits and then dividing this amount by the number of months between these two dates. (This general rule hks special provisions affecting workers who were under age 22 when the system began, or who had already reached the age of 65 before January 1, 1939.) As an example, take the case of a man, whom we will call James Martin. He reached 65 years of age and filed a claim for benefits on July 2, 1940. He has been working off and on since January 1, 1937. When he worked he sometimes made $150 a month, sometimes $200' a month, and sometimes amounts in between those figures. When all liis wages in jobs covered by this system, from January 1, 1937 to July 1, 1940, were added up, they amounted to $6,300. The number of months which had elapsed during that time were 42. This man’s average monthly wage, determined by dividing $6,300 by 42, amounted to $150. In case this retired worker had an unmarried dependent child under 16, or under 18 if in school,

man, W. L. Carlyle, of Calgary, Alberta, will judge the steer classes at the coming show, culminating his two day judging with the selection of the grand champion. Mr, Carlyle is manager of the Duke of Windsor’s ranch. It will be the third time in the past 41 years that a Canadian has judged these classes. At all other times, cattle experts from England, Scotland oy South America have

officiated.

Several hundred farm boys and girls will join adult experts in competition for the honor of exhibiting this star show animal. The opening day program, Saturday, November 29, will include a junior live stock feeding contest, in which over 400 beeves will be shown by iboy§ or girls under 21 years old.

Ten fifty-dollar scholarships to the Eight Weeks Winter Course in Agriculture at Purdue University beginning January 19 have been offered by the Social and Educational Department of the Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc., to outstanding members of the Indiana Rural

Youth club.

One scholarship is to be given to a boy or girl in each of the ten Farm Bureau districts, announces announces Mrs. Lillie D. Scott, state head of the department. The scholarships are made possible through the Gertrude Modlin Memorial Loan Fund to which Farm Bureau members throughout the state contribute annually for the furthering of the education of farm youth. However, these scholarships are to be gifts, and not

the child would receive a benefit equal to half of his father's. If the worker’s wife had not reached 65 when he began receiving retirement benefits, she would not be entitled to benefits then. But her benefits would begin when she reached 65. If the retired worker should die before his wife, she would receive (providing she was 65 years old) three-fourths of the amount of his benefit—or $23.18 a month—for the rest of her life. If- she was not 65, her payments would begin when she reached 65 and continue for life unless she

remarries.

Florida Spite

Newspaper Quits With Heavy Loss Daytona Beach, Fla., Nov. 14.— The Sun-Recprd, of this city, a daily paper started here eleven years ago by the Gore interests, have suspended publication, after losing over one-half million dollars in the effort to take over the local newspaper field from the old paper, the News Journal. Gore is the owner of the Fort Lauderdale News and other Florida papers, and was governor of Porto Rico. Gore is a prominent Florida Democratic politician and was aided by the cracker politicians here in trying to take the newspaper field from the News Journal. Daytona Beach is the home of a strongly entrenched Ku Klux organization which worked with the poli ticians in trying to aid Gore. The News Journal, the old paper, is owned Ijy the Davidson family, English Jews, who came here from Chicago, and it looked like a perfect set up for Gore to run them out of the newspaper field, because the Davidsons were new people and not mixers with the public of Daytona Beach. The failure of the new paper is similar to the experience of such enterprises in every state in the union the last twenty years. In fact no one can recall a new daily paper making good in that time against older competition.

No holiday celebrated within the boundaries of these United States is so typically American as Thanksgiving. So closely Is It tied to home, that the average American heart, as Thanksgiving approaches, becomes as full and overflowing as the harvest the holiday commemorates. This year, more than any other, Thanksgiving assumes new importance. Behind the traditional bustle that surrounds the American kitchen as Mrs. America plans her holiday menu, is a new feeling, a rebirth of patriotism. We have much for which to be thankful! And this year, when the tempting spices waft out from the kitchen, there will be a new note—an allAmerican note. For conditions abroad have brought changes into menus specially prepared for the day. Tables will be absent of many foods—cheeses, spices, oils and wines — which once came from abroad. But their places have been taken by excellent American prod-ucts—American-made for American tastes. Wine, once imported from

sunny France, Is now pressed into rich perfection in our own sunny California; Wisconsin’s dairy farms have tirelessly turned to the manufacture of cheeses to replace products formerly shipped from abroad. With the all-American theme in mind, Jane Floyd Buck, well-known nutritionist, has prepared a holiday menu, emphasizing such typically American products as cresta blanca wine and hominy, and a turkey stuffing of the south’s own nut, the pecan: All-American Thanksgiving Dinner Apple Cider Frappe in Apple Shells Michigan Celery California Olives Roast Turkey with Pecan Stuffing Hominy Souffle Steamed Squash Baked Onions Stuffed with Cheese Sauce Deviled Green Beans Molded Cranberry Jelly and Watercress Salad .

ILLINOIS WARNED OF MOSQUITOES Centralia, 111.— It’s not an optimistic picture, but a University of Illinois scientist believes that Southern and Central Illinois can expect a mosquito blitzkrieg next year. W. K. Dellaplane, a commercial fellow at the university, spent several weeks at Centralia helping to quell an attack by millions of the pests that ended virtually all summer entertainment in the city including porch-sitting. Dellaplane explained the possibility of a spread of the mosquito plague next summer. “The adult mosquitoes who live from three to four months, lay eggs in the mud adjacent to Marshes and other bodies of stag nant water. Then the rains come and wash the mud into the water. There the eggs hatch quickly.

“There’s not much you can do about the eggs until they’ve turned into wrigglers. Then about all you can do is spray the water. That will kill, them. “’But freezing will kill the adult mosquito and it won’t always kill the eggs. Sometimes it does, but not always. The best kind of weather to keep them down is alternate freezing and thawing.” Dellaplane said he believed the mosquitoes would spread because the dirt in which the eggs had been laid might be hauled to other parts of the state and because winds can easily blow the mosquitoes long distances. o THIEF RETURNS PAJAMAS

Belleville, 111.—Some months ago Mrs. Herman G. Bonds lost a pair of expensive pajamas to a thief who ransacked her laundry as it hung on the backyard clothesline. Recently she received a package. In it were the pajamas and a note: “Sorry, they don’t fit.” o Wedding parties in Paris now use bicycles.

The Central Idea J. A. WALTER, Agent, Muncie

TEAMWORK IS WINNING AGAIN! The football season has certainly been full of upsets this fall. It reminds me of what a famous coach once said: “There’s only one thing wins games —it’s teamwork,every time.” Believe me, I just saw that borne out in business, too, in j. A. Walter a way that ought to make every shipper and consignee of freight in our parts feel mighty good! Sometime back, we had a real problem to lick on the Central. We went to these fofks aixl said: “Look—we’ve got to free a lot more freight cars for defense shipments vital to America. Will you work along with us toward speeding up loading and unloading? Can you plan your shipments so as to fully load your freight cars?” Things sure started to hum!

Everybody pitched in—and I mean everybody—the fellow that uses only a car or two a week, as well as the big companies. For instance, there is one shipper up the line who’s moving the same amount of freight with only five cars a day, whereas he used to use ten. Actually—in one month alone —the better loading of less-car-load shipments on the Central freed 21,707 additional freight cars for the movement of vital defense materials. That’s why I got a special letter from the head of our transportation department. He wants me to personally thank and shake the hand of all you Central shippers around here for your splendid cooperation.

FARMS MAY [ SUPPLY NATION

Products May Be Made Into Many Plastic Devices

The recent announcement of a plastic automobile suggests that the time may not be far distant when cars will be made entirely of products grown on the farm. When that happens, harvest time may come to mean a bumper crob of limousines. . -The idea is not so fanciful as it might at first appear, for already many farm products are changed into industrial articles. Through the magic of research casein from milk becomes wool and also a plastic material. Corn is used is making glycerines and dry ice, cornstalks in making paper. Sugar cane goes into building hoards; soy beans into paint, enamel and linoleum. One large chemical company alone buys 16 million pounds of cotton, 36 million pounds of cotton lint erg, and 36 million bushels of corn from farmers each year. As industrial research finds new uses for farm crops, industry will depend more and more on agriculture as a source of raw materials. And agriculture, in turn, will depend on industry for more inven- j tions like radios, telephones, and j labor-saving machinery that have j made the farm a much pleasanter j place to live than it was a genera- [ tion or two ago. Because the two groups provide markets for eaqh other’s products, the prosperity of the one depends on the prosperity of the other. Past experience has shown that when industry is making money, agriculture is making money, too. Facts like these prove that here ip America, we’ve all got a stake in each other’s future. We may work in different parts of the country at different jobs. We may have different likes and dislikes. We may be divided into various groups —industrial .employees, farmers, doctors, lawyers—but in the longrun we’re all in the same boat. And today we’ve all got to work together to solve our common problems. We’ve goti to work together to check inflation, finance defense —in short we’ve all got to work together to insure our continued prosperity in the years to come. o — PRIVATE SEEKS MORE ACTION

Oil Firms Asked' To Lower Prices Washington, Nov. 14.—Price administration officials pressed three major oil companies Tuesday to rescind recent price advances on crude oil from north Texas independent wells. Sitting in the closed session here were officials of the Texas Company, the Consolidatede Oil Corporation and Standard Oil Company of Indiana. These companies had posted price boosts of 7 cents^ a barrel, a move which prompted Price Administrator Leon Henderson Friday 1 to request producers throughout the country to make no price advances without consulting his office. The producers who posted increases contended that their act was merely an adjustment of prices to bring them up to the level prevailing in nearby fields. O- r Arms Workers Chew Tobacco Lake City, Mo.—Chewing tobacco, a habit that became passe in favor of cigarettes, is going to become popular again, at least among the workers in the new munitions plants, which opened here recently. Every worker who enters the plant gates knows that he will be subject to dismissal if he carries matches beyond the entrance. For a time, the workers will be searched and so will all visitors. They will be asked politely, but firmly, to check their matches, lighters and other devices to create flame. They can keep their cigars, cigarettes, smoking tobacco and pipes, all of them safe enough without matches. o CHINESE STATION UNIQUE San Francisco—This city has the only Chinese postal station in the United States. It is used largely by the 20,000 Chinese residents in Chinatown.
