Think on these things" Phil. IA.
A few years ago, was on my way
to the WaShwoman's house after tho
clothes. On the road going over
there l met colored woman COM
ing down the road with a handful
OF dry shucks from the ears of corn.
Behind her came running poor old
COW, she was tooling her to the pen.
On my way back ! stopped and
spoke to her and said, "Auntie you
remind me of the devil" She said.
how is that Reverend?" I said.
Satan is fooling the people of this
world like you were fooling that
old cow. Just shaking a handful Of
dry shucks, and here they come.
leading them right on down to hell. ~
The old colored woman laughted and
went on.
Yes, so it is the devil has his-
hands full of shucks and shakes
them before the eyes of the people
as he goes along. He knows how to.
suit his temptation to each one 50
as to lead them astray.
The broad ways today are strewns
with his allurements, the theater
with its bright lights, and lustful
pictures, the dance halls with the
lights turned down low, the saloons
with its repeal liquor ETC., are lead
ing multitudes from the blessed
way of holiness, down to perdition.
Shame on America when we have
all OF the great events celebrated
with a big dance or show or some
thing. Last year when the news
came of Germans defeat, many got
drunk, and danced and carried on
as they do in heather land when
victory was won. And many will do
the same today. It is time for all
God loving, God fearing people to
take their stand against these things
and not participate in them. And
come out and let the world know
which side you are on.
Sunday is Mothers Day. we well
come all the mothers of d. ant to
come and worship with us at the
Church of the Nazarene Sunday
school at 10 a m, Worship at II ar.

Vets Given Preference
On Ford Automobiles

Memphis, Tenn.,--Almost one of
every three new 1916 cars delivered
tnrougn Marcn ~ by Ford Nlotor
Company dealers in the. Memphis
Drancn area nave gone TO veterans
OF World War II, III. Y. Ingram,
branch Manager, disclosed today.
The Memphis Branch area con-
sists of all of the State Of Arkansas,
with the exception of two north
western counties; Dunklin and Prem
iscot counries, MIssourI; ruiton coun-
", kentucky; II counties in the
western seciion Of Tennessee; IA
counties in northwestern portion of
State of Alabama; and the Northern
half of Mississippi, excluding Jack
son.
Contrary to persistent rumors
that veterans are experiencing diff
ficulty in obtaining new cars un-
less they have trade-ins" MIR. In
gram said, I'VE find almost three
fourths of all the cars sold have
been delivered without q trade-in.
This is very high percentage, con-
sidering the circumstances"
The percentage of veterans re-
ceiving cars was determined from
detailed reports submitted by deal
ers.
Delivery to veterans represent
1920 of total car sales, Mr.. Ingram
pointed out.
In a recent radio talk. J. r. Davis.
director of sales and advertising for
the company, described the policy
as follows:
1T is first come, first served.
There are only two exceptions. Peo-
pie who must have cars to perform
public services will receive
priority. And returning veterans who
need a car will receive
preference wherever possible. This
is as close as we can come to a
policy Of absolute fair play"
Mr.. Ingram pointed out that the
policy of giving veterans preference
does not imply an early delivery on
orders recently placed. Many veter-
ans have orders on file which were
placed with dealers some time ago,
and which the dealers have not been
able to deliver because of product
ion Interruptions due to causes be-
yond the company's control. Never
theless, Mr.. Ingram emphasized,
almost one of every three cars have
been delivered to a veterans.

New List On Meet Prices

New List On Meet Prices
New meat retail price lists, the
strongest weapon of retailers and
housewives in fighting the meat
black market, are now posted in all
Mississippi butcher shops, OPA
Director W T.. Holcomh said today.
These price lists, already familiar
to millions OF housewives, are print
ed in green ink for easy identificat-
ion, Major Holcomb said. They show
the new increased retail prices for
every cut and grade of meat, he
added.
Major Holcomb pointed out that
through effective use Of these price
lists by shoppers, black market over
charges can be eliminated.
He listed three methods of which
effective use" of the list can be
made:
/. Look for the lists when you buy
meat.
2. II you don't see them. ask your
meat dealer to display them where
you can see them.
3. Check the prices you pay with
those shown on the price lists.
IF the consumer win help COM
ply with ceiling prices at the retail
given, he will help keep prices stable
along the entire line of distribution"
Major Holcolmb said.
New Controls For Sloughtere1s
Glass II slaughterers who may
have lost or misplaced the slaughter
permits issued them by OPA were
reminded today by OPA district
director that they have until May
is % apply for a duplicate from
their district office. After this date
such slaughterers are not permitted
to continue operations without a
permit showing their quotas, he
added.
Under the joint slaughter control
program by the Department Of Agri-
culture and OPA now in effect,
slaughterers are permitted to kill as
many cattle and calves during any
monthly period as they did for the
same time in 1914, Major Holcomb
explained, but will be restricted to
80 per cent of the 1914 hog salugh-
ter.
Major Holcomb pointed out that
all classes of slsughterers subject to
quota resrictions are required to
keep c. lplete records of their
slaughtering operations. Federally
inspected plants are required to re-
port to the Department of Agricul-
ture, while every non-federally in
spected plant Sther than farm
slaughterers must, within 10 days
after the end of each quota period,
file a report with the CcA district
office.
Glass II slaughterers were defined
by Major Holcomb as those who
slaughter, or have custom slaughter
ed, calves, cattle, or hogs in non
federally inspected plants. Class III
slaughterers, farmers who sell OF
transfer no more than 5000 pounds
Of meat per year from their own
livestock.
