You save money at the NC.

The past few years when prices were advancing we priced all foods at regular N. C. markups this based on our actual cost. At no time did we take advantage of rising prices. In many instances our prices low lower than Seattle prices. This meant a substantial savings to our customers. The past week prices few items have taken decline our prices are being adj justed accord ingly. Some of the declines very small, others are noticeable but regardless of how small the saving =. it is being passed on to our cus- toner's
 We are merely carrying out the N C. policy, which has been in effect, for half century, throughout Alaska .. of offering quality merchandise at low est possible prices.

THE QUEEN OF THE NORTH

THE QUEEN OF THE NORTH Oh l know a marvellous maiden, Whose beauty is wondrous to see; She lives away up in the North land,
 On the shores of a wild raving sea. Her coffers are full of rich treas ureS,
 And she reigns from a pure golden throne. One wonders as they look at her riches, If their value will ever be known. She calls for real men to woo her, Men who are square through and through. Men who will woo her and wed her,
 Who will love her enough to be true. For she has a great many children, This Queen of the North; at her call; She is anxious that they share her bounty, AS her wealth is sufficient for all. She asks, Do not woo me and leave me, AS others have done here before, And take of my own precious treasures To spend on some far distant shore" But be fair, keep my wealth near me,
 And develop my land and you'll see; AS the days and years pass before you,
 That you'll never regret loving me-" This queen has the most won- drous beauty, And her heart is as warm as a hearth. Did I tell you her name? :. It's Alaska; She's the beautiful Queen of the North. So to you when she opens her coffers, And gives you pot full of gold Just use it here in her empire, And to you other wealth will unfold.

County Agents Column
By c. WEBSTER. Acting County Extension Agent
By c. r WEBSTER. ]

Benton County has many things
to be proud of. One of these that
has just been brought to my atten-
ton is the contribution that Ben
ton County wheat farmers have
mace for European relief.
Benton county scored first bulls
eye among Northwest counties
in wheat donations to the Wash
inpton and Northern Idaho CROP
train, with $1,000 worth Of
wheat. Reverend John Coan,
CROP chairman for KenneWick
and Reverend Chester Morgan,
Prosser CROP chairman, both re-
port that Benton County is still
working for a higher record.
PLAN FOR ls4s
ince most of the crops have
bean harvested for 1948, it is now
tire to plan your crop program
fer ls49. / think all farmers should
sit back and make summary of
what has been good and what has
been bad during the past few years
and then try to plan crop pro-
gram which will yield as much
return as possible and at the same
time maintain the soil In the
! lest state of productivity.
Here are some of the things
which you might consider. Aneri-
GAYS in every walk of life cam
hail the news Of the big grain
crops and corresponding drop I'M
prices as the biggest and best
news.of this year, 1948. The price
o. meat is going TO come down as|
fast as farmers can transform this
grain into livestock. Well inform
ed farmers will have more retail|
buying power because grain wilt
be cheaper and more abundant.
Grain, you see, is to the farmers]
what steel is to the automobiles
manufacturer, or rubber to, the
tire manufactN .er. It is a raw mas
terial. Most people don't buy grain
as grain, but buy II In the form
of meat, milk, poultry, eggs ofj
some other concentrated product.
Another thing you should knowj
In planning your 1919 program isl
the availability of equipment withA
which to farm. Indications at thisi
time are that more equipment will
be available unless unsettled conf
ditions in Europe tend toward al
more serious state. High consumer
expenditures will continue. Privatel
investments will increase. The
United States will export more
than she imports and there isl
no question but what there will
be continued Government spend
ing, perhaps in defense or in for
eign aid programs as well as ia
more construction of schools,
streets, highways and other dol
rlestic services.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Your Farm Yard
Have you ever walked around
your farm yard or your buildings
to see what hazards might bel
there for your children? Such
things as a blocked up box which
might fall on them, or a sickle
bar from the mower, or some ma
chinery which is braced up inse-
curely. It will pay well, when
you see one of these, to stop and
repair it or fix it Immediately. It
may take week, or it may take
day, or only few minutes.
Whatever it takes, it will be well
worth it. Protection to you, your
hired help and your children, Is
something to be considered. Now,
don't say you haven't any OF
these hazards in your farm yard.
Just 60 out and look around. Don't
just think about it, actually RENE
dy the situation.

| Count All Things Lost

Howbeit what things were gain
to me, these have | counted loss
for Christ. Yea verify, and
count all things TO be loss for
the exeeIleney of the knowledge
of Christ Jesus my Lord; for
whom ! suffered the loss Of all

a Righteousness of mine own, even
that which Is of the law, but that
which is through faith in Christ,
the Righteousness which is from
God by faith. Philippians 1919.
Wouldn't it be a tragedy to APP
proach the end of this life on
earth and, looking over all the
decade and find that we had spent
almost all of our efforts in merely
maintaining our physical lives?
God put US upon earth to do more
than stay alive physically. Paul
seemed to have completely re-
nounced material things in order
to gain Christ but we know that
he did receive gifts and he work
ed at tent making in order to
purchase the bare necessities.
However, 1t was evident that he
majored upon worship, character
and service to others.
America is dominated by a pag-
an spirit which glorifies material
things. Even the best preacher or
Sunday school teacher or church
officer is in danger OF being en-
quilted by the swirling waters of
material things. 1t viii take a
supreme effort of remuneration
even to place material possessions
in the secondary position where
they belonged. Then it will require
a daily reconsacration through
prayer to keep them there and
to put first things first.

Observations

Perfect weather balmy
spring day that was Easter
this year in Portland. Activities.
religious and social. on that day
are now history; most of which
we will long remember. Dress
parade ON the avenue, and to and
from churches, surpassed former
records. The traditional Easter
egg symbolic of new life were
distributed to large Sunday school
attendances. Easter egg hunts was
novelty pass-time for many child
rem; churches over-flowed; many
of the worshipers hadn't attend
ed since last Easter = they heard
repeat the story of the risen
Christ. Special music, cantatas
etc, by choirs amid floral decked
affairs bespoke the spirit of the
day.

Christian living is like garden.
First of all comes the will to be
a Christian. - the dedication and
consacretion of life: time and
money and talents. The selection.
so to speak, OF a space where
the flowers of Christianity are
to be grown. Then comes study,
prayer and meditation = the pre-
paration period. it is then that the
stones of old habits are eradicated
and the noxious weeds of sin are
uprooted and cast away. This is
the time when the beds of good
deeds are laid out aid planted,
and the trellises of prayer climb
heaven-ward.
The water and the sunshine of
Gods word soften the seeds of
truth. Sorrow and Joy cultivate
the soil of environment faith
flowers freely. The flowers of
faith are, hope, charity and love.
The garden of a Christian life is
indeed a garden of Eden. where
God walks amif the beauty. Pre-
pare ye the way of the Lord;
every valley shall be exalted, and
the crooked shall be made straight.
The grass withered, the flower
fadeth. but the word OF God shall
stand fore er.
Prayer
Dear Master, walk Thou In the
garden of our lives. Bless, we
beseech Thee, the flowers bloom
ing there. Cause the radiant sun-
shine of Thy love to strengthen
US and the gentle rain of Thy
tender mercies to quence our spir-
tual thirst.

THE FREEDOM TRAIN

Last Wednesday. March 81. at
4 a. m. there were some on their
way to see the Freedom Train
from early in the morning until
late into the night there were peo
pie trying to get chance to get
on the Freedom Train to see the
documents, Bill of Rights and all
the important letters of George
Washington n Abraham Lin
coins Gettysburg Address and
Emancipation and Reconciliation.
The different flags were shown,
too.
The program at 9:45; the mas
ter Of ceremony called on DR.. d.
w. Berry to give the invocation.
Then the mayor. N. K. Buck, was
called on. He said he thanked
everybody who helped to make 1t
possible for the Freedom Train
to come to Yakima and thanked
the newspapers, radios and each
Individual for adertising the
Freedom Train. The mayor in
troduced Mr.. Walter H. S.
O'Brien, who was the Freedom
Train director. and who was in
charge of the train. He said that
the train had come to Yakima
that the people of Yakima might
see the documents of their gov
eminent a nd "rededicate their
lives to Them" America, the
| greatest nation of the world. He
also said to participate in the
projects of your community, the
PIT. A. and any other organiza-
ton that is for the welfare of
all. He closed his address by
saying let us think we'll of our
forefathers and our documents,
regardless of race, creed or color.
Then he read the Freedom Train
Pledge:

can.
Free to speak without fear.
Free to worship God in my own
way,
Free to stand for what thinl

Another way of escape from
reality is for people to withdraw
into their inner selves by way
of day-dreams. Here the people
conceal the harshness of present
problems with fantasies. Instead
of bluntly homes self-appraisal of
their disappointment, defeats,
weaknesses, and Illustrations, they
turn away from them and let
their inner world of fantasy carry
them away from the struggle with
inescapable reality. This is COM
monty known as flight into fan
tasy. This may take various forms
= the conquering here, the suf-
fering there. and the debate here
Iday-drams. To participate in day
dreams is a far more pleasant ex-
lperience than to wrestle with real.
Finally, the mechanism of escape
from reality which is the past
was almost exclusively used by
men in getting drunk" or drink
ing alcoholic beverages excessive
ily. By means of drink, narcotics,
and various forms of anti-social
behavior. men evade coping with
reality. Rarely do we find people
using one mechanism exclusively
of the other. Sickness, "spel and
fantasy" are usually compined, and
lit is not unusual to find drink
along with complaints of sickness
and attempts at suicide. What one
selects as means of escape from
reality varies, to be sure, from
one individual to another, but the
mechanism one chooses is con-
doned by the culture of the group.
The problems of life must be
faced with utmost realism. There
must be no escape, no failure to
make the most of every opportun-
