At the recent Chicago Market Fat Stock Compe tition, the wartime edition of the world famous International Live Stock Exposition, they won all firsts in the hog carlot division, and the Grand Championship over all breeds with the 260 pound BerK shires shown above. The Hoffmans had twice previously won the International Carlot championship in 1939 and 1941, but never before had anyone won all firsts. The brothers’ farms near here look not irnllkp thousands of other farms of the state. No special hog raising equipment is used. All of the Hoffmans’ hogs are pure bred Berkshires. STOCK SALE AIDS RED CROSS SIOUX CITY. IA.—Indicative of the spirit of the nation’s stockmen in supporting the war effort is L. E. Crews, veteran Colorado breeder of purebred Shorthorns, who is shown giving a $1,130 check to Mrs. Edward L. Ryerson of the Chicago Red Cross Chapter on the occasion of Mr. Crews’ visit to Chicago to attend the Shorthorn Association's annual meeting and International Congress sale. The check represents 10 per cent of the gross receipts of the recent Crews Shorthorn sale at Sioux City, la., and the remaining 90 per cent, some $10,000, went into United States War Bonds.

First of all, be sure to warm plates ahead of time if hot food is served; and warm the coffee pot and cup ahead of time, too. It’s a good idea to serve a steaming hot cup of decaffeinated coffee to help your convalescent relax from wor ries and prepare for a good night's sleep. You can be sure the rest of the family will enjoy their share of the same brew; but if you brew decaffeinated coffee by the pot or percolator methods it’s important to allow a little extra brewing time to bring out the full, rich flavor. Remember that milk and egg des- j sens usually tempt the laggard ap- \ petite They're full of nourish-* ment, too. and are specially valu able on the building-up menu. For a glamour desseri that will lift your invalid’s spirits, serve a tapi- j oca cream pudding garnished with orange sections or jelly. This easy- j to-make treat will provide a happy dinner ending for the family, too. Remember that eating from a trey is sometimes a little awkward so be sure to spread a big. clean napkin under the tray over the bed spread. A tray on legs is useful not only for meals, but for holding books and magazines, writing ma terials and jigsaw puzzles. If you haven’t one, you can slip a card table with two legs folded over the bed and rest it on a pillow to beep it level. Convalescent’s Brew Use 1% heaping tablespoons regular grind, decaffeinated coffee to every cup (*£ pint) water. Make by boiled or percolated method. (If percolated, “perk” 18 to 20 minutes slowly and gently, or longer than ordinary coffee.) Have ready a pot of hot milk. Wbep serving, pour milk and coffee together into cap in equal amounts. If using decaf feinated coffee drip grind, use well rounded tablespoons instead of heaping tablespoons and mgke by the drip method. Honey Tapioca Cream 1 or 2 egg yolks 4 cups milk % cup quick-cooking tapioca % to S cup honey % teaspoon salt I or 2 egg whites Mix egg yolk with V, cup milk in saucepan. Add quick-cooking tapioca, honey, salt, and remaining milk. Bring mixture quickly to a full boil over direct heat, stirring constantly. Remove from fire. (Mix ture will be thin. Do not overcook.) Beat egg white until just stiff enough to hold shape. Fold hot ta pioca mixture gradually into egg white. Cool—mixture thickens as it cools. Chill. Garnish with cream, if desired, or with stars cut with a tiny cutter from slices of jelly. Serves 7 to 9. To make half thi* recipe, use 3 tablespoons quick cooking tapioca and V- other in gredients. Bring to a full boil over direct heat or cook 8 to 10 minutes in double boiler.

Between the Lines LINES (BY DEAN GORDON B. HANCOCK FOR ANP) SCAPE GOATS OR SCOUNDRELS SOUTHERN NEGRO VS. NORTHERN? Hapless Harlem is stirred once more by what appears to be an in cipient crime wave. A few months ago a controversy of some propor tions was waged between those who felt that Harlem was a citime center and those who bitterly de- 1 nied it. OUr easily explained sen- j sitiveness and our robust race pride make is difficult for us to admit even the most casual scien tific proposition that people of a lower economic bracket are pre disposed to crime and disease and the evil concomitants thereof. Ex plaining crime does not remove it. An dso Harlem like the rest of the underprivileged world is wrestling with principalities and powers that will not he denied. These muggings that are giving Harlem some adverse publicity are not confined to this center of Ne gro life alone. Even here in staid old Richmond these muggings are going apace with 11 for an ordin ary week-end. Naturally enougn I Negro muggers by no means have i a monopoly" on this at* times dis tressing practice. Whites are well represented which shows that crime Hs not racial nor are the ten dencies thereof. In arraigning two Negroes Judge Peter -T. Brancato of the Kings County Court, New York City, re ; cently said “It is a crying shame {that such as you come up from the : south to go on relief and bring dis ! grace upon your people. Colored people bom and brought up in New York are law abiding. It is j because of your kind that they ars condemned.” The two Negroes were called “disgrace to their race” While the judge's words seemed I weighted with wisdom calculated to flatter the pride of the northern Negro, they do not carry convic tion. To make it appear that all the crime originates in the soutn is to dismiss without consideration the great ‘ murder trusts" and racketeering and gangsterism that have flourished so long above the Mason- and Dixon line. It so hap pened that one of these Negroes was from North Carolina and the other from South Carolina and the pudge concludes that the trouble in Harlem hinges about the south ern Negroes, a generalization that will not stand close inspection. The judge's conclusion may be popular but it does not do justice ; to a critical situation and certain- , 1 ly I* does not do justice to the Ne groes involved. _ The Negro of the South is what the South made him. Both the south and the Negro are what this nation has made them. The Negro is the creature while the south and the natoin are the creators. The real blame for the criminal pro pensities cannot be laid at the door of the southern Negro but charged rather to the system that produc ed him. It is true that the south ern Negro migrates in search of succour but this should not be held against him. All races do j this at some time or other in the-r j | history. That the Negro manifests ; j certain anti-social tendencies m ! | his new habitat is to be expected: ; hut the blame is not on him but on the section or the system that produced him.

He was playing up the southern Ne gro as a scoundrel whereas he was merely a scape-goat. It may be easy to blame the child for his de linquency but deeper considerat ions implicate ttis parents. — The Prodigal Son was what the J father made him and nobody un derstood this better than the Prod igal's father who so gladly welcom ed back home his erring son. To blame southern Negroes for their crime 'in the north is worse than blaming th^m for their crimes in the south. They are too often the victims of an iniquitous system and the system, not they, are to blame. Good Judge Branca to threw a ■tweet morsel to the white south and to the Negro north but he trussed a great Opportunity to point out the whys and wherefores of Segro crime the country over. In the first place why would the Negro have to leave the south for the north in search of relief? Gf times he must migrate Or starve but migration under such circutn I stances is not to be charges a gainst the Negro. He deserves commendatjm for going in search of a better land.

On the rela tively remote grazing lands of nor thern Arizona, illegal slaughter was responsible for a five percent rise in cattle thefts during the first two months of 1943, accord jing to a spokesman for the ranc. ers. In addition to the meat lost by the legal trade to the black mar; Ietos. great quantities of strategi - cally important by-products have al ! so been lost. Potentai surgcal sutu^ps adrenalin, insulin, gelt tin for milflary films, and bone meal for feeds are disregarded by 1 the men who salughter livesto-,. illegally. They keep the primal j cuts and throw away the remaind ! ed. In some cases, they keep the hides if these can be easily- chan neied into legal outlets. The recent drop Sn the number I of animals slaughtered under Fed eral inspection indicates the ex tent to which animals are being ' diverted from regular market chan nels.

I da belle Yeiser. former cur riculum consultant for the public schools of Philadelphia, has arriv ed in New Orleans to take up h -r new duties as Professor of Educa tion and director o fthe newly pro posed teacher training program of , j Dillard University. Dr. Yeiser brings to the unlverr,- . ity a rich and varied education U j background. She studied at the University of Pennsylvania for her bachelor's degree and at teacher s College of Columbia where her Doc tor of Education degree was earn ed in 1940. Her European study includes a year at the University of Toulouse, France, and several summers at the University of Par is and Cursos Para Entraheros. Madrid. Further post doctoral work has been done at Columbia and the University of Chicago. The new professor’s teaching ex perience is broad.

She is a member of Kappa Delta Pi and Pi Lambda Theta, national Honor Societies in Education. is not bis fault for in this he is not different from the European who must have his ups and downs unjil he becomes adjusted to his new social climate. Then too the question arises, . just what is a northern Negro as against a southern Negro? How long does a Negro have to live north to become a “northern Ne gro"” A relatively small number of Negroes living in the north w-re born there. Where can the Negro [ go to escape being made a scape goat’ or a scoundrel? To Hasten Victory No American wants this war to go one minute beyond the time we can bring it to a vic torious end. To hasten that victory—to save possibly the lives at millions of our boys on our far flung front*—it is imperative that every Ameri can do his part in the Second War Loan. There is an in vestment to fit every purse. The most you can do is little enough compared with the sac rifice offered by our boys in service. They ?ive their lives —you lend your money. The consumer is the key person in the fight against black markets in meat, the Department of Agri culture announced. If the con sumer guards against buying meats at prices above the ceiling, it was {pointed out the black market op erator win have little reason to stay in business. | t There are several reasons why ins timers should not purchase food-stuff particularly meats, in black markets. I. It skyrockets the cost of liv ing. A survey of the prices of meats in New York City reveal-id rates lo to 35 percent above auth orised ceilings. These Operations were so profitable that, according to a Cleveland packer, one man who identified himself as a whole sale meat dealer from New York offered a -bonus" of *75.000 for a quantity of prime beef. Later the OP A filed 100 actions in Feder. i Court in New York against 430 firms and individuals acuased of price violations. Throughout the nation, 783 similar court actions were brought against 1035 individ u-±is during the Drat two “months of 1043. In the criminal cases dis posed of during this period, the courts imposed Jail sentences rang ing up to seven months, twelve fines of up to *5,000, and seven suspended sentences. No defend ant wag acquitted. 2. If civilians go outside the le gal market to satisfy their demand for meat, they will upset the gov ernment meat rationing program and in addition, get infer! >r meat. f-Iueh of the meat sold on black market during 1942 was sufficient b tainted to Cause illness. Accord ing to the American Meat Institute a very large part of the meat ‘.hat cornea into the black market is from so-called cutter and carmer cattle, the lowest giade of beef. To meet this situation, the Depart ment of Agriculture has ordered all slaughterers to get a slaught ering permit an dto stamp the a cm ter of this permit on every piece of meat shipped to retail outlets -No retailer may sell meat from uu stamped wholesale cuts. These steps were taken as part of the total control program launched by the eDpartment of Vgriculture and the Office of Price Administration btif-er this program each conS"mer will be assured his fair share of meat through rationing, and meat production will be closely s”per v ised from the time animals are • eady for slaughter until it is sold to the consumer. 3 Black market operation is a form of “bootlegging” and will help to bring back the typc of t-angster rule” that Prevailed during the days of prohibition. Al ready. illegal *rade .n mea-~ ha teen so great that even bujers f-r the Army have nad difficulties, though they have secured ade quate meat supplies for America’s fighting men here and abroad at ceiling prices. The illegal trade has expanded as shortages in meat have increased. In many areas growing black market stocks have caused shortages. The black market in meats is be ing supplied from a number of sources. Considerable meat is sent into the illegal market by un scrupulous buyers who travel farm land highways buying live animals from farmers at prices higher than legitimate buyers can possibly pay. Another source of supply is the rustler who rides the range at night, shooting animals where he finds them, dressing them on the spot and driving away with the
