CCH0Ot LUNCH
Chicken in the lunch basket? Yes,
and eggs too!
September ushers in that season of the
year when many households must con-
Germ themselves with the preparation of
school lunches, or perhaps 1t is lnch for
a defense worker. In either case, we
always have the old problem Of what
to fix and how to fix it to make an
appetizing meal.
The chicken may go in a sandwich,
salad, small individual pie, loaf, friend,
or as sliced baked chicken. II an extra
thermos jug is to be had. hot chicken
soup with crisp crackers would be a
treat to any defense worker or school
child.
Eggs are SO versatile they can never
be left at home, says Miss Eva Lebett,
Of the extension department, State Col
lege.
They may be in the form of hard
cooked (boiled) eggs, deviled eggs, in
sandwiches, cakes or cookies. What
could be a more appetizing dessert than

The Place of Sweet Potatoes
In A Dietary

In A Dietary
Sweet potatoes probably rank next to
b~readstuffs in Mississippi as a starchy
food. Their popularity is due to: ()
Their mild flavor Of which ever the
capricious appetite does not tire easily;
(2) Their wbolesomness; (3) The ease
with which they can be prepared for
the table and the variety Of ways in
which they can be served; az The ease
with which they are grown; (5) Their
low cost.

drying clothes, but there will come a
winter when the weather will not be so
good for drying clothes. There will
come a time when it may not be pos
sible to dry the clothes out of doors at
all.
Now may be a good time to get the

about 10 minutes. Add the butter and
salt, and pour over the potatoes. Put
in a moderate oven, and bake until the
potatoes are clear and somewhat gummy.
These may be made on casserole with
the additions of a few raisins. Marsh
mallows may be added a few minutes be-
fore taking from the oven. More syrup
may be added, if necessary, so that the
potatoes when finished will not be dry.
Good can or sorghum syrup may be
substituted for sugar in the above re-
cipes.

Better erode Cotton Needed

, The War Food Administration, Extension Service,
and National Cotton Council have inaugurated an nten-
sive drive to assure a high-grade l943 cotton crop. Inls
has been done at the request of Marvin Jones, who fur
nishes these startling figures on crop grades since 1928:
The supply of Strict Middling and better grades
amounted to 37.7 percent of the total OF all grades Tor the
S years 1882. For the 5 years 1933-37 it fell to 26.I:
By 1939-40 it was III. In 19404l IL dropped to lSs
and the next year to 11.6. Last year it fell to 80.
In Mississippi, so percent of the 1882 crop was
Strict Midding and better. In 1912, it was IL percent. In
Arkansas, as percent of the 1882 crop was Strict Mid
ding and better; in 1912, only seven percent. Louisiana,
Sc percent in 1882; seven percent in 1912. Similar de-
clines were evident in all cotton-producing states.
Now as never before a high grade of cotton is need
ed in order to assure the war machine of cotton which
will rapidly and efficiently produce high grade war ma
terial. At the same time the better grades will assure
the producers a much higher net income.

Do Your Xmas Shopping

How often have we heard the warning, DO your
Xmas shopping early And how often have we not need
ed that warning and been caught in the usual mad scram-
BILE of last minute shoppers.
However, there are Some for whom we will shop
this year in September. Our loved ones on the battlefieids
of the world will receive their Christmas remembrances
this year only if we mail them NOW. The ~postoff1ce is
asking us to mail as early as September 10 and no later
than October 18th. Parcels must not exceed five pounds
in weight. Other requirements for Christmas packages
rs listed by the ~postoffice are carried in another column
of this newspaper.
The commanding generals of the forces in the Pacific
made a survey of the service mems preferences for pres
ents from relatives and friends: Listed in order were
watches, pen and pencil sets, toilet kits or sets, hunting
knives, pocket-size books, candy or cakes in metal con-
tanners, radios, billfolds, wallets, cigarette lighters, sta
tionary, sun glasses, house and bath slippers, photo
graphs, identification bracelets, rings.
Also listed as popular among the serv1cemen are

PuIpwood Cutting Essential

War Manpower Commissioner Paul v. McNutt today
clarified the attitude of the War Manpower Commission as
to the essentially of pulpwood production in a state
ment to the Newspaper PulpwoOd Committee. A nation
wide campaign is now in progress to increase the v1taAy
needed war product.
"Pnlpwood is an essential war MATERIAL" he SAID,
fused among other things for making rayon paracnutes'
shipping containers and smokeless powder.
ats many wartime uses have created a shortage
which is rapidly becoming acute. With these conditions IN
mind. the War Manpower Commission has recently classl-
fled pulpwood cutting and production OF pulp as essen
tal war occupations.
"May | urge every man engaged in this ESSENTIAL work
either part or full time, to give it the best ne has IN MN.
Let him remember he is welding his axe and saw IN the
same struggle and to the same end that Otner men are
welding bayonets and machine guns. -
II know that the men in the forests and pulp mills
and the farmers who cut pulpwood from their Wooolots
are lust as patriotic and loyal as any other group Oh
Americans. Now that they realize the Importance OF their
part in the war, / am sure they will respond with the ex-
ira DAYS and extra effort that is the only possible ans
wer to this dangerous shortage"
Pulpwood cutting is now on a revised list OF essen
tial activities and has been so specified in a bulletin on
forestry, logging and numbering sent to the local seiec,ive
ing pulpwood, also is included among the essential farm
products listed by the ~selective service as a guide TO iocai
