CHANGING FOOD HABITS IMPROVE FOOD SELECTION Protein from GRAIN PRODUCTS doum.M^Y* Protein from DAIRY PRODUCTS Ufx 18-5^ Protein from MEATS I Source: U S Dept of Agriculturt Protein from VEGETABLES + FRUITS Ufl 4-37o Milk and its products are gain ing steadily in favor as a source of protein in the American diet. United States Department of Agriculture statistics analyzed by the National Dairy Council show that the amount of protein supplied by dairy prod ucts for human consumption in creased 18.5 per cent from 1920 to 3941. Intake of protein from meats increased 8.6 per cent and from all vegetables and fruits only 4.3 per cent. Most of these gains were made at the expense of grain products. Pro tein consumed in the form of grain decreased 17.6 per cent. Since the protein of milk, ice cream and cheese is of the highest quality, these changes are of particular im portance in this wartime period. An adequate amount of high quality protein is essential in the forma tion and repair of all living tissues —muscles, skin and blood. An in adequate supply of such protein may result in a breakdown in hu man tissues more serious than ordi narily caused by vitamin deficien cies. Dairy products contribute to maximum health and efficiency and become increasingly important when other important sources of protein are less available for civ ilian consumption. AAA News Notes The War Production Board has made available for use in Nebras ka 17.900,000 board feet of soft lumber for specific farm needs. County USD A War Boards have been authorized to assign to farm ers AA-2 preference ratings for the purchase of such lumber dur ing the months of July, August and September. War Boards can issue these preference ratings only for main tenance and repair of agricultural buildings or equipment, new con struction essential to the food pro duction program and the recon struction of essential buildings destroyed by fire. Lumber cannot be qbtained by farmers through this special rating for dwellings. The lumber made available through this allocation is only to supplement the lumber regular ly obtained by farmers through AA-3 and AA-4 ratings. Only af ter failure to obtain lumber by giving a statement on intended use to his dealer, should a farmer make application to his War Board for an AA-2 rating. Deal ers may extend these ratings for the purpose of obtaining supplies or replacing inventories. Harry E. Ressel, Chairman, Holt Co. AAA Committee. First Presbyterian Church Kenneth J.

PHONE 74 ■ O’NEILL, NEBR. - I Views of Congress By Dr. A. L. Mill#r. M. C. »»■ It is estimated the public debt will be close to 350 billion dollars in another year. Nebraska has something over a billion dollar assessed valuation. Our share of the public debt would be approxi mately three billion dollars. This means every man, woman and child living in Nebraska will owe $3,000 to the United States Gov The bill pertaining to the Office of Price Administration is still being discussed in the Senate. The House reduced the appropria ! tion. It prohibited the Use of any funds for the payment of any sub ! sidies or roll back prices and | made it mandatory that every in 1 dividual in a price policy position ; must have at least five years ex | perience in the problem under his ! control. Many of the present ex j ecutives who direct price policies | have had no business experience. ! There have been entirely too many impractical directiyes from these bureaucratic theorists who seem to be more concerned with the complete regimentation of the American people than they are with the proper and reasonable administration of an Act of Con gress. Some of their policies are causing failures of small business. It is felt that the subsidy program will cause a serious threat to our food supply. It causes inflation. The OPA was designed to assist the war effort and keep dowm in flation, but it seems to be having the opposite effect. With the United States trying to carry half of the world on its shoulders, it will be a miracle if shortages and hardships do not become worse. A telegram received today from the conference of the Midwest Farm Bureau reads in part as fol low's: “The subsidy and price roll back on foods proposed by the administration is a subtrafuge for increasing wages and other con sumer incomes already at infla tionary levels. It will be expens | ive to administer. Benefits will be I small in proportion to total costs. ; It will continue the already exist ing ruinous confusion. It contrib I utes to rather than controls in ! flation. It will impose further I regimentation of production and distribution and will aggravate I our post war price and income ; problem.” The Midwest Farm Bureaus represent 12 states with : 300.000 members. They are beg | ging their representatives to in sist that administrative authori ties cease their efforts to inflict this program upon them. The National Grange set a let ter to Franklin Roosevelt with some of the following quotations: “Price ceilings as a remedy for in flation have been tried hundreds of times during the past two thousand years; not once have they succeeded over an extended period. They have resulted in cre ating food shortages, black mar kets and inflation. We have an annual income of approximately 40 billion dollars in excess of con sumers goods available. It is im possible to dam this rapidly in creasing sumlus income by price ceilings. This surplus is increas ing at a rate of a billion and a half to two billion dollars each month. Ceiling prices cut off pro duction just as they have always done wherever tried.” A wire from the North Platte Valley Lamb Feeders Association states in part: “The meat subsidy and price roll back program has al ready demonstrated that it will add nothing but confusion to live stock conditions which are al ready chaotic. We are definitely against any subsidy and any other unnecessary government interfer ence.” The Nebraska Stock Grow ers Association meeting in Gor don passed resolutions which said in part: ‘‘Ceilings on fresh beef creates in practice a ceiling on the live animal. The imposition of price ceilings on cattle would be clearly impossible and would only add to the present confusion.” They further stated that ‘‘Subsi dies to the producers of livestock is an effort to regiment all the people in American agriculture." The Nebraska congressmen have consistently tried to impress up on the Office of Price Administra tion that it should follow the con sidered judgment and advice of the men on the firing line at home who are practical and know the problems of food production. The rural mail carriers will re ceive an additional one cent a mile for the duration of the war, under a bill passed by the House last week. DO THEY REALLY? "SHE GAVE HER ONLY SON" In the window of that little white bungalow down on the cor ner waves a little white flag. On thal) flag is a Gold Star. Yes Mrs. Murphy has given her only son in the service of his country. Bill is ‘‘missing in action”! Often as she glances at the Star, Mrs. Murphy thinks of her boy,—of the many kind words he spoke,—of the many kind acts he had done. Over 1900 years ago. another Mother stood, thinking of all the kind deeds her Son had done. She stood there, looking up at her Son as He was dying on the Cross. Yes, soldiers were involved in His death too, yet He was entirely in nocent of any fault. She recalled all the kind words that He had spoke,— the tender lovingness of His actions. He had harmed no j one; now He was suffering, taunt ed by His executioners and the mob ’ as He was dying. He was i dying that others might live,— ! live eternally with Him. Every i moment of His agony seemed an ★ ★ What you Hutf, hJitU WAR RUNDS Wigwag Frequently the Navy, the Coeat Guard and the Signal Corps finds it expedient to relay messages without benefit of telephone, telegraph or radio.

Treaturv Department ererlasting period of grief for His Mother. Is it any wonder that Catholics refer to the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Mother of Sorrows? Who could know greater sorrow than was hers now? And yet, she made this sacrifice willingly for she knew it was the will of God. Since it was the will of God, she united her grief to the sufferings of her Son. To whom could mothers better turn today as their sons leave for battle? In whom could they find more comfort and solace than in the Blessed Virgin Mary— the Mother of Sorrows? Who could better understand a mother’s grief and anguish? This is the reason, dear neigh bor, that you see so many mothers attending devotions to our Lady, begging her protection for their beloved sons. This is the reason so many repeat the words of St. Bernard of Clarivaux: Remember, O most gracious Vir gin Mary, that never was it known, That anyone who fled to try pro tection, implored thy help, Or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee O Virgin or virgins, my mother! To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowing O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition. But in thy mercy, hear and ans wer me. Amen.
