EGGS AND POULTRY

Recent statements emanat I'm G
from Washington that price ceilings
on eggs and poultry were too high
has caused much concern among
poultrymen throughout this section"
l.. j. Graham, Richmond, Va, gener-
al manager of Southern States Mar
keting Cooperative, said
prices being received by poultry
men today are barely above the re-
cent floors established by the Food
Distribution Administration, and pre-
miums for finer quality eggs have
been reduced to a point where many
of the better poultrymen are begin
ming to wonder whether it is worth
their while to 60 to the trouble neees-
sary to produce such eggs. When pro-
duction is at low ebb next fall, the
Army, Navy, and civilian consumer
alike will be dependent to consid-
cradle extent upon top quality eggs
stored this spring to supply their
needs. Unless more encouragement
is given to the farmer to maintain the
fine quality which every egg has upon
being laid, the supply of these eggs
will be woefully short of require
ments.
Although the egg-feed ratio is
relatively favorable as compared
with past years, expenses other than
for feed have risen so rapidly that
the farmer, when compared with
wage Garner, is in an unfavorable
position. Farmers are not particular
ly interested in comparing their net
income this year with that of one,
two, or three years ago, but they are
interested in obtaining sufficient in
come to meet their increased ex-
penses and to allow them to main
tain a standard of living comparable
to other gainfully employed people
who are not working nearly such long
hours as they" Mr.. Graham ex-
planned.

destructible, but as the son Of God; as
the divine idea, forever existing, full,
free, untouched by any human sense,
dwelling securely within "the city
consciousness Of the living God"
Mans true selfhood abides in this city
-unassailable, never invaded, never
bombed.
The speaker declared that explo-
sions are only apparent in q world
Of three dimensions, in a mental realm
Of limitation. Understanding the uni
verse as it really, divinely is, here and
now, one prevents evil and it's destruc-
ton. In this way Gods law operates
as the law of protection and pre-
clusion of evil in whatever form it
may attempt to project itself.
Evil is Basically Mental
Christian Science shows the para
mount necessity Of reducing evil
things and conditions to false sugges-
tions. Thus they come within the
scope of the Christian Science treat
ment-a spiritual activity. The reali-
cation of the presence and power of
divine good confronts the evil sugges-
ton, whereby the latter cannot main
tain it's self-deception. Hereby it
necessarily fades out.
The international peace movement
signally failed, according to DR.. de
LANCE, not because of lack of good
will and Christian endeavor. It failed
because it was fighting war as a for
midable reality. Of course, such an
attitude is unavoidable, until Christian
Science, by reasoning from primal
cause to effect, reveals the unreality
Of evil on the basis Of the allness Of
God, good. This is the point which
seems to be most reluctantly admitted
the fact of the unreality of evil. All
merely human efforts fail for lack of
divine insight. They are made in the
wrong direction. Every human at
tempt to accomplish good, however
noble and praiseworthy, is vitiated by
the misconception that one is dealing
with an outward material reality.
Dictators Usurp Principle
Wherever mans divine origin is not
acknowledged, liberty is not under
stood and cannot prosper. The Chris
tian Science textbook Up. 94) points
out that tyranny, intolerance, and
bloodshed, wherever found, arise from
the belief that the infinite is formed
after the pattern of mortal person.
atty, passion, and impulse" Consider
man merely as cog in the machine of
material production, and you have
slavery. No theology, however clever
ly and mesmerically advocated, can
change that! In relationships, at
tempting to usurp the place Of inn
perative Principle, there is no liberat-
ing revolution; there is enslaving re-
action. Where these two clash is total
war. Christian Science brings the
antidote for total war with total
revolution.
How to Meet Total War
Total war has come to this age.
How to meet it is the question. And
the answer it: in exactly the same
attitude as the Christian Scientist has
met successfully other forms of evil
such as disease.

TASK FOR CECIL COUNTY HENS
Is 8.7% GREATER

Cecil County poultrymen are asked
by the government to produce APP
proximately 1889, 900 dozen eggs
this year, 3.7% more than in 1912,
as their share in the Food,for Victory
program, the Northeastern Poultry
Producers Council estimated.
Leon Todd, managing director of
NEPPCO, declared that. farmers can
reach this county goal, which is based
on the percentage increase suggested
for Maryland by the U. s. Department
of Agriculture, If adequate supplies of
labor and feed are available.
Poultry farmers are now working
harder than ever in ail7out war pro-
duction," Todd said, tcontinuing
the magnificent job they did last year
by producing 100000. dozen eggs
in this county to help supply civilian,
military and lend-lease needs. Also,
two developments during the last
year have resulted in larger laying
flocks on most farms today:
First, egg prices as shown by rec
ords of one of the larger purchasers
of Maryland eggs, the A & p Tea Co.,
which last year paid 1851 SAL In this
state for 1,O90,05O dozen, we're SO
favorable that farmers saved an, un-
usually large proportion of: poten-
tial layers.
Second, conditions in 1912 were
good for raising pullets; Fall wealth
err was generally mild and the aver
age Matching date was early.
'Those factors point to increased
production" Todd explained, '.if an
improvement can be made in the
farm skilled labor situation and If
farmers can get enough protein foods.
There are critical shortages of protein
ingredients because imports have
been cut drastically. Even soybean
oil meal is not being processed fast
enough to meet demands. These are
major problems facing the industry"
Maryland poultrymen, who pro-
duced a total of 33,333,00O dozen
eggs in 1912, are asked for 34,596,-
900 dozen eggs this year as their
share of the national egg goal of
4, 780,000,000 dozen.

How to think of your soldier son,
how to experience divine protection
against war and accidents, were points
elucidated in lecture on Christian
Science. The lecture, entitled "Chris-
tan Science: The Science of Divine
Completeness" was delivered at the
Emerson Hotel in Baltimore on March
80, 1943, under the auspices of First
Church of Christ, Scientist, in this
city by DR.. Hendrix j. de LANCE,
C.S.B., of New York City. DR.. de
LANCE is a member of the Board of
Lectureship of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, Massachusetts.
The lecturer explained that upon the
basis of one infinite, eternal, and
thereby perfect, primal cause, or God,
the universe as it really, or divinely,
exists, must be in strict accordance
with it's source; hence, infinite, eter-
nal, and perfect. The limiting, har-
assing, and destructive experiences
mankind is subjected to are inevitably
to be found in a misconception of ex-
istence. 1t is the result of a wrong
approach to existence by accepting the
testimony of the material senses as
real and reliable.
The Blue Glass
This may be compared with looking
through blue glass, whereby every
thing and everybody appears blue. In
order to get rid of the blue, one has
to remove the glass; one does not have
to clean the objects appearing blue.
Consequently, one must behold exis-
tence in terms of divine Truth, where
by one recognizes man not as fallen,
incomplete, and destructible, but as
the spiritual, infinite, perfect, COM
plete, and indestructible manifestation
of Truth, called in the Bible Gods
image and likeness.
Mary Baker Eddy, the divinely in
spired Discoverer and Founder of
Christian Science, gave this counsel,
which is even more important now
adays than ever before, in her "Mis-
cellaneous Writings" Opp. 3OS, 3O9):
81 earnestly advise all Christian Sci
entists to remove from their observa-
ton or study the personal sense of
any one, and not to dwell in thought
upon their own or others corporeality,
either as good or evil"

In Mr.. Gifford's telephone CONVERSE
ton he revealed the fact that the main
reason why the company decided in
1889 to build an underground cable
across the west was the possibility OF
q war with Japan.
The new line runs underground for
1000 miles from Omaha, Nebraska, to
Sacramento, California, connecting at
these points with existing cable net

For most of its length the twin cables
used were buried in the soil by giant

alton.
eve have had transcontinental tele-
phone service ever since 1916" Mr..
Clifford said during his conversation
with Mr.. Powley, "and four trans
continental telephone lines already
cross the western half Of the United
States by four different routes. But
on all of these lines the wire is strung
overhead. Now, for the first time in
history, a telephone conversation can
be carried all the way from coast-to-
coast over a telephone cable, instead
of going part Of the way over open
wires strung on crossarms on poles"
Mr.. Clifford pointed out that under
ground construction of the new line is
proof against wind, sleet, and the for
nation of ice and adds greatly to the
dependability of transcontinental tele-
phone service, which is especially i'm
portant in time of war.
Construction work began late in the
autumn of 1910. To speed the job,
pillow trains worked many nights under
searchlights to further their daytime
progress across farm lands, swamps,
desert sands, the rocky declivities Of
mountain passes, and the salt plains
of Utah.

Where Will Money
Come From?

People ask: ''Where will the
money come from?" to reach
the thirteen-biIlion dollar OBJ
jective of the Second War
Loan. The answer is simple.
The people HAVE the income.
When we produce munitions
or peacetime goods, or any
thing else, we likewise produce
income. For every dollar Of
production, there is a dollar Of
income.
The problem of war finance
boils down to this--if individu-
ais and businesses receive more
income after taxes than there
are things produced for them
to buy, then excess funds arise.
The government deficit is
matched by the combined sur
rlus OF everybody else. This
surplus should be put into Gov
eminent securities to wipe out
that deficit.
