CATTLE PRICE OUTLOOK I'M
PROVED The outlook for cattle
prices during the late summer and
fall months has been somewhat
improved. The brighter outlook IS
attributed to the prospective pick
up in business activity and con-
sumner demand. 1t seems flikeIy
that the seasonal advance in prices
Of the better grades of slaughter
cattle will be more marked and
longer sustained than expected
earlier. However, the prices of the
better grades are not likely to
reach the unusual high of late sum

ROADS AND RELIGION

Woman's three major interests
according to an old German pro-
verb, are her children, her kitchen
and her church. While modern civ
ilization has considerably widened
\ her horizons, these interests still
\ remain supreme in the life of the
\ typical American woman. Especi-
ally is this true of the small towns
and rural communities where both
men and women find their chief So
cial and cultural life closely inter
woven with their church.
The church gatherings in many
areas form the top spot in the en-
tertainment program for the entire
wear. The weekly meeting of the
missionary society provides an
ideal opportunity for the ladies Of
the community to get together for
needle-and-talk session. Chicken
dinners in the church basement
during the winter and ice cream
socials and such on the church
lawn during the summer bring the
members of the congregation to-
gether at intervals throughout the
wear. Within the church are form
ed numerous clubs of men, women
and children with study or recrea-
tion as their chief aim.
It is, of course, on Sunday that
the church assumes its greatest
importance. Sunday school for the
children and morning and evening
services for the adults play their
part in keeping up high standard
for the moral and spiritual life Of
the community.
Because of the important part
played by the church in rural Am
erican life, the fact that many of
our citizens are unable to attend
church because Of bad roads be-
comes especially serious. Sixty per
cent of the 100000 farm people
in the United States live on unim-
proved dirt roads which bad wealth
er often makes completely impass-
able. This means that more than
16. .OOO, 900 Americans are unable to

AMERICAN STORE COOKWARE
Majestic Credit Card Plan Ends
September 18th, Manager Reports

Local housewives will be inter
ested to know about the discontin-
uance of the Majestic Cookware
credit card plan in the local Amer
lean Stores on September 18th. For
the past twenty-four weeks the
American Stores Company has
sponsored this amazing promotion
so that their customers and friends
could obtain this lifetime cookware
at about one-fourth of the former
home demonstration prices, and so
that they would have greater" Food
Satisfaction" because food cooked
the waterless way in Majestic
Cookware tastes better, and re-
tains the natural f1avors, vitamins
and juices. Mr.. Horace Clifton,
Manager of the local American
Stores, would like to announce
that the plan will not be extended
after September 18th. He advises
that everyone who has not secured
all Of he pieces they intend to get
had better place their order now as
it will be impossible to fill any or
ders after September 18th Ma
jestic Cookware, as you know, is
made from pure nodded virgin
aluminium and is so constructed as
to permit the cooking Of all fresh
fruits and vegetables without the
addition Of any water BY using
this ware it is also possible to do
all baking and roasting on top of
the stove, thereby making for cool
er kitchens and lower fuel bills.
Mr. Clifton invites all housewives
and their husbands to visit his
store before the closing date'of the
plan on September 18th and to see
for themselves the marvellous op-
portunity that is theirs in being
able to acquire this famous cook
ware. He states that the plan will
not be continued after September
18th, and that the offer will prob
ably never be made again

Midsummer weather promotes
food poisoning by providing warm
