kinds of temporary pasture. ~ d.
In fact, use Of harvested crops
for' midsummer feed actually PROV
ed less expensive than such annual
pastures as soy beans and Sudan
grass in comparative tests at the
Beltsville Research Center Of the
Department. Because crop yield,
cost. Of production, and returns
over cost depend so much upon the
soil and climate, evidence at Belts
willie favoring harvested crops over
annual pastures as midsummer feed
cannot be taken as a general in
dictment Of annual pastures in ev-

Rather, these data indicate that
under some conditions It may be
profitable to feed cows harvested
feeds in midsummer, If pasturage is
unavailable. '

with the need for keeping dairy

PROFIT NECESSARY
s n no SURVIVAL

The Mohaye County Miner of
Kingman, Artzo4 4a; accurately de-
scribed the retail price situation
when it said = "fhe fixing of prices
upon the essentials of everyday
living has protected the consumer
against any fiagrant imitation of
living cost. AS long as the mer-
chant, can continue to purchase
stocks for his store at prices which
will leave him a. reasonable profit
for the handling Of these goods, so
long will the consumer, be the re-
cipient of the benefits, but when
the merchant cannot purchase at a
price that will permit him to make
a profit, he will cease to restock
and the result is that the consumer
will be unable torpurchase.'"
In short, "profitless price CELL
ings" would eventually work to the
detriment, not to the benefit, of the
consumer say pothing of the
ruin, they, would cause within the
great retail merchandising indus

recent rulings permitting higher
ceiling prices on a limited number
of commodities. II merchant and
consumer are both to be protected
and fairly treated, 1t is certain that
additional feadjustments will be
necessary. ~ r.
There is a great difference of
opinion as to whether subsidies
should be used instead of permit
ting price increases. There is con-
siderable to be said for the tenn
porary subsidy plaT-but it is not
likely to receive early approval Of
Congress. 30 higher prices, where
they can be proven necessary, are
inescapable ~;
The record of retail merchandis-
ing, chain and independent, during
this emergency is extremely en-
couraging to the consumer. Stores
of all kinds have effectively and
continuously done allfin their pow
er to oppose imitation. And retail
merchandising can be trusted to
continue that sound policy ~

diseases. Correlative from the
Textbook, "Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy: The understanding
that the Ego is Mind, and that
there is but one Mind or intelli-
gence, begins at once to destroy
the errors of mortal sense and to
supply the truth of immortal sense.
This understanding makes the body
harmonious; it makes the nerves,

of masters. If man is governed by
the law of divine Mind, his body is
in submission to everlasting Life

FOREST FIRE WARNING
Most Serious Problem War Has
Brought TO Farmer

Increased danger from forest
fires is one of the most serious
problems that war has brought Del
aware farmers and forest landown-
ers, says G. l.. Schuster, director of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service. He urges farmers,
forest landowners and all who visit
the forest to follow the following
forest fire prevention creed: I will
smoke in the woods only while
halted in safe place, completely
cleared of dry or infiammable ma
terial; I will break all burned
matches in two before I throw
them away and will never throw
pipe tobacco, cigar butts, nor Gig
arctic stubs into brush, leaves or
pine needles; 1 will never burn
brush in windy weather nor with
out plenty of help! will put out
any small fires I find or report
them at once to the nearest fire
warden; / will remember that a
burning match, glowing cigarette,
or a smouldering brush pile can be
just as dangerous as an incendiary
bomb and that careless matches aid
the Axis.

Radiant Living
OTHERS BUT NOT
HIMSELF
By
Rev. Charles Milton Griffith

Before me comes a picture of
three tall crosses rising high above
the heads of a noisy milling mob.
Uponeachcross is impaled the quiv-
ering body of a man agony.
Below that center cross there
struts back and forth in seeming
triumph a group of naughty, shay
gybearded Pharisees. One of them.
addressing the blood streaked body
of the Saviour, as it sagged so
heavilyf rom those cruel spikes by
which it was pivoted upon the
cross, shouted with utmost con-
tempt eff thou be the Son of God,
come down from the cross!"
But the pale man on the cross
answered not a word.
Turning to the curious crowd the
jeering Pharisee in a loud voice
scorned: "He saved others; Him
self He cannot have!"
No truer words were ever spok-
en-.
Jesus could have saved Himself.
But had He done so, He would
never have saved us! To save us,
He must sacrifice Himself.
Is this not what He Himself de-
clared: verify, verify, 1 say unto
you, except corn of what fall into
the ground and die, it abideth
alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth
much fruit"
To save others. Chris must not
come down from the cross. 1t is
only through the sacrifice of self
that one can render an effective
service to others. This is why
Jesus stayed on the cross. 1t was
not the spikes that kept Him there.
1t was His love for you.
Do not think that you can really
help others without any cost to
yourself. The candle that in the
night gives its light to others is it.
self consumed.
The first service which we can
render to others is to overcome our
own selfishness.
They who would serve must first
learn to give.

POULTRY BUSINESS GOOD
In Demand as Meat Substitute
Prices Are High


The Delaware poultry industry is
doing a big business at present as
many persons are turning toward
poultry as a substitution for meat,
Dean George L. Shuster of the
School of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Delaware, said. Poultry
raisers are receiving As to so cents
a pound for dressed fowl, the high
est prices received in a number of
years and the demand is great, he
said. Some easing of the demand
and some drop in prices are expect
ed when fall pork and other live
stock reach the markets next
month, he said. However, there is
every indication that turkeys for
the traditional Thanksgiving dinner
will bring much higher prices than
in the past. While it is still too
early to make any predictions,
Dean Shuster pointed out that even
if the meat shortage should be cor
rected by that tine, which is doubt
full, the general rise in prices will
force turkey prices above the aver
age paid for many years.
