RATION POINTS

the sale of rationed foods, local ra
tioning boards are mailing farmers

structions. Farmers who either sell
or transfer rationed foods, such as
fresh or smoked meat, all types of
sausage, lard, butter, and cheese, are
required to collect ration points from
purchasers The full cooperation OF
farmers is essential for the success
of the food rationing programs, OPA
said.

Crops and Stock Thrive
On Most Northerly Farm

The Norilsk State farm, Soviet
agricultural enterprise, stands on
the 10th parallel in the midst of a
desert region, in the zone of eter-
nal frost. There the Arctic night
lasts for nearly two months. There
are frequent heavy billiards, when
the thermometer drops to so de-
grees below zero centigrade.
Potatoes, cabbages, onions, car
rots and sugar beets are grown
successfully in the open fields of
this Arctic farm. Tomatoes, GU
cunbers and spinach are raised in
% lighthouses. An experimental
sowing of melons has yielded en-
couraging results.
Livestock thrives on the farm,
and is rapidly increasing in num-
Der. There are 1873 cows, all born
in this Arctic region. A subsidiary
farm houses 200 pigs Of pure York
shire breed.
Last year the possibility of grow
ing oats for fodder was DEM
onstrated by the yield from an ex-
perimental planting of so acres.
Orchard trees bloom during the
short Arctic summer. They are
still very young and bear no fruit
at present. $50

If your family considers squash
tasteless vegetable, try serving
it with white sauce with melted
cheese in it. They will change
their minds.
Here is a good tip for making
wooden jumpers fit properly at the
waist. Knitters know how some
times the rubbing, even although
done on smaller needles, will
stretch round the waist, and the
jumper will tend to ride up at
the back. To prevent this, sew
narrow piece of elastic, waist
measurement, round the inside of
the jumper, at the top Of the rib
bling. The elastic should be sewn
loosely SO that it will not show on
the right side.
Put a sponge in the bottom of
your potted plants and you won't
have to water them so often.
If too much salt is put in the
soup, a few slices of potato will
remove it. A raw potato in the
refrigerator will absorb unpleasant
odors.
Vinegar eliminates odors. Don't
put away frying pan that smells
of onions, fish or some other
strong-favored food. Put some
vinegar in the pan and bring to
boil. Then wash as usual.
II you find fruit Jars difficult to
get clean after cold packing corn
or meat, rub the jar with salt and
wash in the usual way.
To mend small holes in window
screen, put a piece of mosquito
netting over the hole and coat it
with varnish. When dry, apply an
other coat or two.
Wooden garments will retain
their f1uffiness and will not shrink
if teaspoonful of glycerine is add
ed to the warm water in which
they are washed and rinsed.

Save worn-out garden hose to be
cut into pieces for looping up vines
or holding young trees in posi-
ton. Thread a piece OF wire about
six inches. longer through cut
piece. After looping about the
branch or small tree, draw ends OF
wire firmly together and fasten by
bending over each other in oppo-
site directions. Slip the fastened
wire ends forward into the hose
and adjust so that the opening is
out Of sight.
When making berry pies, mix
with the fruit measurement for
one pie about two tablespoons fine
quick-cooking tapioca to make a
clear thick juice that should not
run out during baking and that will
serve neatly. s's;. - s4'4a'
Baking materials are precious
these days, and burning cake is
little short of tragedy. When
putting cake into the oven set an
alarm clock for the time the cake
should, be finished baking. This is
a big help, especially when visi-
tors drop in, and one is apt to
forget all about the cake in the
oven.
Buttons on a wooden or knitted

Fight the Forgery Racket!
BY FRANK ]. WILSON
Chief, United States Secret Service

XX/E HAVE learned that check
w thieves steal other mail to
help them establish Identification
when they try to cash forged
checks. This article is intended
for storekeepers who pay out
money for government checks.
Before you accept any govern
ment check, ask yourself this ques-
ton: eff this check is returned
because of a forged endorsement,
can I locate the forger and rec0v-
er my loss?"
A government check is good only
when it is properly endorsed by
the person to whom it is issued.
If you pay your good money for a
government check which bears a
forged endorsement, you are the
loser.
Remember = don't hesitate to
question a stranger who asks you
to cash a government check. It's
YOUR money that's at stake, and
most forgers are usually in hur-
ry. Questions make them nervous,
