IDA GROVE, IOWA — George and Karl Hoffman (left to right

raising champions. 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

It's Winning Strategy To Make An
Art of Sery ing Meals on a Tray
WHEN* you’re catering to con
valescents. it’s winning strategy
to remember that you can double
the appetite appeal of each menu
if you make an art of serving meals
on a tray.
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.

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. Of course the judge

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

of Negroes living in the north w-re
born there. Where can the Negro
[ go to escape being made a scape

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.

though they have secured ade

fighting men here and abroad at

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

sources. Considerable meat is
sent into the illegal market by un

from farmers at prices higher than
legitimate buyers can possibly pay.
Another source of supply is the
