Additional losses are from actual

For better nutrition, all income

Building materials r expected

Lower prices r forecast for

Clothing prices rest in the
future of raw fiber prices. To a
considerable extent cotton, wool,
and rayon r in competition
with each other so that an appre-

cotton may cause many fabric

shift to a greater use of the cheap

The health outlook for Missis-

A small transparent plastic case
for sewing-machine bobblns

What farm families can expect
to pay in 1949 for items which
add to better living, and the pro-

tributed by the Mississippi Ex-
tension service
Net income to farmers in l949
is expected to be lower than this
year, with higher production costs
on lower farm prices Still net IN

before 1916 and about three times
prewar. the outlook report states
Continued spending for all
family living items is expected in
1949, according to Miss Lorraine
Ford, Extension home manage
ment specialist.
Prices paid by farmers for
family living items continued to
climb during the past year, but
at a slower rate than the year be-
fore. From all reports, farm
families since 1947 are spening
three times as many for all family
living expenditures except hous-
ing and automobiles.
Nutritious foods should be OBJ
tainable in Mississippi in l949
with careful planning and wise
spending.
While there is a slightly smaller
supply of most nutrients, there is
a greater demand for milk, eggs,
meat, citrus fruits and green and
yellow vegetables. This means that
the price will continue high in
1949.
Avoiding waste is one of the
first steps in developing good
diets. This waste may be from
,over-eating and resulting over
weight, or may be due to over
filed garbage pals.

GIFTS FOR THE sEAMsTREss
by Joyce williams,
Home Demonstration Agent

GIFTS FOR THE SEAMSTRESS
Many small devices for saving
| time and effort in sewing, now
selling at stores generally, would
| make welcome Christmas gifts
for any home seamstress. Margaret
Smith, clothing specialist of the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture,
lists some Of which she has found
practical in her experimental
work in clothing construction.
SheGrs and Scissors:
For accurate, economical cut
ting the efficient seastress uses
three types. Some stores sell
these by the kit. Dressmaking or
| cutting shears, eight or nine inches
long, with handles fitted to thumb
and finger and ono flat blade to
slide parallel to the fabric makes
it easy to cut out patterns and do
other large cutting jobs. Small
sewing scissors with thin, sharp
pointed blades permit rapid work
in shipping, trimming, or clipping
into points of fabric. Pinking
shears finish seams professionally,
saving tedious overcasting with
thread as well as saving fabric.
Sewing Attachments:
I A zigzagger saves time in sew
ing on lace, applique work and
other jobs requiring back-and-
forth stitching. A button-holer
saves the long process of making
button holes by hand, especially
on children clothes.
Markers:
A new skirt marker makes it
possible to "hang" ones own skirt
evenly instead of calling on hus-
band or neighbor to measure from
the floor and put in pins. Another
skirt-marker guards the pins as
they 60 in the material. A new
device marks pattern perfora-
tons on fabric.
Pins:
Silk pins, size 16, which sell
in half-pound boxes are fine,
smooth and sharp SO leave no
mark in fine fabric as common
pins do.
Needle Threader:
A new automatic needle thread
err save both time. and eye-strain.

better with long-eyed than with
round-eyed needles.

ANCHORAGE FAIR IS STYMIED BY RAIN

Weeping skies put a damper on the enthusiasm of Anchorage fair-goers during the three-day session of the Western Alaska Fair, held in Anchorage on Aug. 13, IA, and 15. The fairs man. agement labored desperately to offer attractions that would coun- teract the black mark chalked up by the elements, but it appeared likely by Saturday evening that this years fair would be finan- cially unsuccessful.
 Exhibits included a home eco- monies section, displays of agri- cultural products, Army and in- dustrial exhibits of the latest de- velopments in mechanical equip ment, a block-long midway and a flower show.
 The flower show was easily the highlight of the three-day fair. Opening at 2 o'clock Satur- day evening, crowds already were ohh-ing and aah-ing over the size and perfection of Alas kan pansies, gladioli and roses a half-hour after the doors were unlocked. The exhibits had been judged and prizes awarded be- fore the show was opened to the public.
 The show occupied two large classrooms in quonset-hut quar- ters on the school grounds. In addition to all types of class dis plays for flowers and plants, there were classes of exhibits in flower arrangements, miniature displays, stylized oriental dis plays, experiments in color and design and bouquets made up of common Alaskan weeds and grasses.
 Crowds found one exhibit of pussy-WilloWs, the boughs of which were tied with dozens of tiny yarn boWknots in pastel col ors, an amusing sidelight.
 Of particular interest in the home economics display was an arrangement of Alaskan berries native to this area. Plant branches, complete with ripen- ing fruits, had been potted and labelled. Both poisonous and edi- ble berries were on display.
 The needlework and arts and crafts sections were crowded with all types of fancy work, but baking and preserving exhibits were sparse.
 The Extension Service, which sponsored a home-freezing dem- onstration by Miss Marilyn John son and an Alaskan Wild-food products demonstration by Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Hansen, also pre- pared a display of pamphlets and bulletins. The Alaska Crippled Children's Association and the American Red Cross were rep resented by special displays.

38l Hunting
Permits Sold
Squirrel Season
Draws To Close

As squirrel season draws to a
close in Noble county, it was
learned that total of 38l hunt
ing permits have been sold in
Caldwell by the two local regis
trars. Of the total, 351 were sold
by Violet Morgareidge, village
clerk, and 80 have been pur-
chased at the office of George
L. Thompson, county clerk of
courts The difference of sales in
the two offices, can be traced, to
some extent, to the number of
steps one must climb to reach
te Clerk of Courts office.
The conservation commission in
Columbus made public Saturday,
the laws that will govern the
hunter this fall as he takes to
the field. Pheasant season will
open November Is and close on

two cock birds and a possession
limit of two, Hunting hours will

Rabbit season will also open on
November Is and will run for one
month and three days, coming to
a close on December 18. The
daily bag limit will be four with
a possession limit of four. The
unpopular hunting hours of 600

In loving memory of Bell
Archer, who passed away, Sept.
80, 1945.
Beside your grave we often
stand,
With hearts both crushed and
sore.
But in the gloom the sweet
words come,
Not lost, but gone before.
God knows how much we miss
He counts the tears we shed.
And whispers "He only sleeps"
Your loved one is not dead"
So we'll be brave dear Dad,
And pray to God each day,
And when He calls us home to
you,
Your smile will guide our way.
Sadly Missed by
His Wife and Daughter,
