news service any time after their
planting has been completed, but
not later than August l, according
to announcement this week by Z. II.
White. director Of the State Exten.
sion Service.
"The requirement as to earliest
date of filing applications" Direc-
tor White said, "means that no or.
ganized group can file its applica-
ton until all it's members have their
cotton in the ground. The require.
ment as to the final date upon which
any application will be accepted is
to enable groups to obtain supplies
and instructions in time to obtain
classification of their early-ginned
cotton. Last year." he added, "some
groups failed to get free CHASING
because they waited too long to ask
for it. The safest way is to apply
as soon as possible after the cotton
is planted"
A total of 1873 organized cot
ton improvement groups were APP
proved for the free CHASING and
market news service during the 1910
al ginning season. OF this number,
124 were Mississippi groups, with
reported cotton paintings of 229,,
772 acres These figures, compared
with the 1939-40 season, represent
a material increase in both number:
Of groups and acreage grown BY
approved groups.

LYNN SAYS:

Do your menus meet nutritive
requirements, and appetite APP
peal, too? Careful, now. Here
are 10 points on which to check
your meals for appetite appeal:
/. Avoid repeating the same
food in one meal.
z. Avoid serving more than one
strongly favored or highly sea-
soned food In meal.
3. Avoid using too much Of one
type Of food In a meal-such as
spaghetti as q main dish and rice
pudding for dessert.
4. Use as much texture con-
trast as possible-have some soft,
some solid, and some crisp food
in each meal.
5. Get flavor balance in your
menus by serving some sweet,
some bland, and some acid foods
each meal.
8. Serve some hot and some
cold foods each meal.
7.Serve foods whose colors look
wen together and avoid serving
colorless foods in one meal.
8. Try to get contrast in size
and shape in the foods served.
Q. Serve leftovers In q new
form.
10. Avoid serving the same food
combinations too often. Serve
some other tart fruit with your
pork, instead Of the standby ap-
plesauce.

they're different-they've been vita

"How?" you ask. Through the
use of enriched four-a wheat -four
which contains added vitamins and
minerals.
It was the Bureau Of Home Eco
nomics of the United States depart
ment OF agriculture which suggest
ed, when -four standards here were
under discussion, that fortified flour
should contain a specified amount
Of vitamin 81 and of iron, and that
NICOTINE acid, ribofavin and calci-
um should be added.
Because American dietaries lack
chiefly B-vitamins and iron, the ac-
cent was placed here. The law is
that each pound Of Enriched Flour
must contain at least 1856 milli-
grams of thiamin (Bl); els milli-
grams Of NICOTINE acid (pellagra-
preventing vitamin); and 6.15 MILL
grams Of iron.
So, now in addition to being the
most versatile and economical en-
ergy-yielding food, bread also pro-
vides, in economical form, addition
al nutrients essential to health.
And, since bread is the one food
that probably appears more often
than any other on the family menu,

Bread Buttercups.
Remove the crusts from a loaf of
uncut bread. Cut lengthwise slices
from the loaf. Trim the slices SO
that they are about 1h inches wide
and the ends pointed. Brush with
an egg and milk mixture and ar
range in baking cups. It is best to
brush the tips with a little melted
butter so that they will brown more
readily. Bake the bread buttercups
in a moderate oven until they are

Pinwheel Sandwiches.
Trim the crusts from whole loaf
of uncut bread; cut in lengthwise
slices. Spread the slices with any
desired spread Of creamy consis-
tency. Roll the bread firmly the
narrow way. Small stuffed olives,
nut meats or hard cooked eggs
make an attractive center for the
roll. The rolls should be tightly
wrapped in waxed paper and chilled
in the refrigerator before slicing.

slices Of bread, making even-size
squares. Remove the centexs from
all but one slice. Dip in melted

GIVE AMERICANS
THE FACTS
,Released by Western Newspaper Union

GIVE AMERICANS
THE FACTS
WE TALK ABOUT BILLIONS as
we formerly talked about millions or
even thousands, and not one Of US,
including the most intelligent of our
public men, has any idea of what a
billion really is. We talk about s.
billion dollar debt, and none of US
can visualize such sum, or apply
it to ourselves.
In an interview short time ago,
Joseph w. Martin, publisher of a
small daily newspaper in Massachu-
sets, leader of the Republican
minority in the house Of representa-
tives and national Republican chair
man, interpreted that debt for us
as individuals. He said it meant
the individuals share in that debt
men, women and children-amount-
ed to $493. For each family Of five,
the amount is $2,465. The annual
interest charge each individual pays
is $12.75, and for each family OF
five it is $63.75.
It is certainly time that govern
mental operations be interpreted so
we average Northumberland that is
practically all of the American peo-
ple-can understand just what is
going on.
Give the American people the
facts so they can understand them,
and the American philosophy Of
government will be maintained.

Roger Baldwin
Speaks in Mpls.
on November IL

Roger Baldwin, Director of the
American Civil Liberties Union,
will speak in Minneapolis on Nov.
Is at 8 p. m. in the East Room of
the Curtis hotel on the Federal
prosecution of twenty-eight persons
charged with "seditious conspir-
acy." His subject will be "The
New Alien and Sedition Act"
The meeting is sponsored by the
Twin Cities Branch of the Work
ers' Defense League which is act
ing locally, with the American Civil
Liberties Union and the Civil
Rights Defense Committee in the
defense of these people.
Mr.. Baldwin is eminently quail
fled to speak about the trials. He
has twice carried the American
Civil Liberties Union protests
against the prosecution to Wash
ington to Attorney General Biddle.
Recently the ACLU addressed a
letter to Attorney General Biddle,
protesting the prosecution and de-
handing that the indictments be
lifted. The letter pointed out that
"the charges clearly raise the issue
of civil liberties in attacking utter
ances and publications in the alb
sence of any overt acts or even of
any clear and present danger with
the sole exception of the charge
concerning the organization of
workers defense corps :. that the
facts in regard to the workers de-
tense corps show that there was no
intent =. to do more than protect
union property against threats Of
vigilante violence. It's activities
were entirely public and covered
only the few months when appre-
hension of attack was acute"
Mrs. Woodland Colby, prominent
in the Women's International
League for Peace and Freedom,
will be chairman of the meeting.
Among the other speakers will be
Joseph Gilbert, who was, himself,
a victim of prosecution during the
last war.

Minnesota Negroes read with
much wonder and some amazement
articles in the Pittsburgh Courier
and other nationally circulated
newspapers authored by Emmett j.
Scott which pictured Governor
Harold E. Stassen as a courageous
opponent of race discrimination in
industry, labor and government.
Some of the wonder ceased when
it was revealed that Mr.. Scott is
the paid publicity man of the Re-
publican national committee with
offices in Washington, D. C..
Scott made Stassen's remarks at
the recent state conference of Ne
gro Employment and Training in
Defense as the basis for his decla-
ration that Stassen's remarks were
the most courageous word .
spoken during this whole period of
defense production by a responsible
state or national government Of

Negro citizens of this state
pointed out that so far Stassen's
words have not matched his deeds
and that no Minnesota defense
plant with which Stassen is cred
tied with having any influence has
employed any Negroes before or
since his statement.
