NEXT GAME WILL BE ON FRIDAY EVE

Cullom High Team Will Meet Locals On Home Floor

The high school basketeers will go into action again Friday night against Cullom on the local floor after, a three weeks’ layoff during the holidays. About half of the squad found time for some practice during Christinas week and the rest are working to get into trim this week. Cullom took part in the Onarga Military school four team tourney last week and has many games under its belt. Cullom has a new team this year but from all accounts Coach Roll has one of his old time close-guarding combinations and on the local small floor that may make for an exciting game.V. V. Tourney Soon

There will be three games Friday night as the Cullom grades will play the local grades starting a t 6:80, promptly, so that the entire evening program should not be much later than usual. T ie next home game will be on January 28th, so a capacity crowd is expected for the Cullom games. Next week the team goes to Kempton and to Saunemin, the following week being devoted to V. V. tourney play at Cullom with the Bluebirds tangling with their old friends from Piper City in their opening tussle.State Games

Soldier subscribers to The Plalndealer may not get a chance to keep up on Illinois basketball, so will add a brief summary of recent events. Taylorville, with three 8'3" lads, won the Centralia tourney to remain undefeated this year, trimming Champaign in the finals to give Champaign its second defeat of the year. Paris won its own 16 team tourney but took

■ a 66-40 trimming Saturday from 'a strong Canton team. Pinkn^y- ville won the Mt. Vernon tourney from a strong field to remain undefeated for the season.

Kankakee won the DeKalb tournament as expected but was defeated about 16 points by Watseka the previous week. Sheldon defeated Cabery one point to take the St. Anne meet after Cabery had won an eight team tourney of eastern Illinois schools by trimming Buckley earlier in December. Buckley showed its class by winning the Sibley tourney just before the holidays. Gibson City, Fairbury and Pontiac have teams much above average this year while Onarga and Heracher seem to dominate the Vermilion Valley eight. Rankin nosed out Cl Sana Park in the Hoopeston classic as its height overpowered Clssna's usual classy ball handling. As usual teams with exceptionally tall fellows are dominating the play altho some small, fast and clever teams have excellent records. Practically all of the teams named above are well above average size.

CLOSED WHILE MOVINGWe expect to move to our own

building first door west of present location next week and the restaurant will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 10 and 11. Will reopen in new location Jan. 12th.—Chatsworth Restaurant.

’4 4 FARM PRICE OUHOORI APPEARS FAVORABLE DEMAND TO CONTINUE FOR 2 YEARS AFTER WAR

/ • --------------- • ---------------------- J -----------------------------------------------------------------

The STORY of COOPERATION....

Says G. L. Jordan U. of I. Economist In Year End Review

The farm price outlook is not only good for 1944, but nrospecis for the continuance of favorable farm prices are also bright 1 >r the two years after the war is over, according to G. L. Jorda », University of Illinois farm ecuii- nomics expert in this year-end review of the farm outlook.

In summarizing the outlook f > 1944, Jordan points out that fan.t incomes are expected to rema i a t a very high level. He fee s that the prices of farm produce and subsidies to producers in lie j of higher market prices are no. likely to change greatly during1944. There probably will be an acceleration of the movement which is now getting under way In industry to change over from the production of war goods to peace goods, but industrial production will remain at about the 1943 level.Ho Serious Inflation

He believes that the cost of living is likely to increase gradually but indications are that we shall not have a further serious inflation of prices. Farm real estate prices are likely to continue upward, In spite of the fact that fanners In general are following the constructive and conservative policy of paying their debts and saving the money instead of speculating! Jordan adds that some city people are not so conservative

The transportation system Is not expected to improve during 1944 The trucking industry is faced with many troubles Including the wearing out of trucks and the scarcity of new trucks, scarcities of repair parts, tires and manpower.Wrong Postwar Demand

Jordan feels that the post-war demand for farm products will remain strong because of the large backlog of savings, the need to rehabilitate Rurope, and the great deficit in this country of houses, and Industrial equipment, autos, radios, and a host of other consumer goods. Parity prices may fall but farm income will be protected by the government's promise of commodity loans ranging from Ti per cent to 90 per cent of parity on most farm products except cattle and sheep.

It Is doubtful If we can maintain any considerable volume of agricultural experts, but If industrial workers are kept employed s t satisfactory wnges, the domestic demand should absorb about all the foodstuffs that we can economically produce.

Waldo Unit MeetsWaldo Unit annual Christmas

Party was held December 22nd in the spacious home of the R. R. Kirkton family. The members assembled in the morning and were served an appetizing pot luck luncheon at 12:30. An Interesting detail was that the delirious plum pudding which Mrs. Kirkton served was made from the recipe Grandmother Kirkton brought with her from England many years ago, the serving of which has become a family holiday tradition.

The roll call "If you could be a child again for a day, how would you spend It T" was answered by everyone present. Including MIm Campbell and the three guests, one of whom. Mrs. Walter Rapp, later signed a membership card. The other guests, Mrs. Lloyd Pfls- te r and Mrs. Donald Kirkton, of ES Paso, were former members of the Unit.

After singing of Christmas Carols the regular business meeting *nok place followed by Miss Campbell's Tenon, "Use and Preparation of Glandular Meats," and the minor lesson "What About Vitamins in Bottles?" Several con- teat type games reflecting the holiday season were enjoyed during the recreation period and the meeting ended with a Christmas gift exchange.

’Major Farm (Groups Unite on Program To Stop Inflation

Leaders of the foiir major farm organizations have united on what they term *’a definite, practical program that will prevent inflation without the use of subsidies in lieu of fair prices,” according to an item in the Dec. 28 issue of the American Farm Bureau Federeton news letter.

In a recent telegram sent to state, county and regional farm leaders, Edw. A. O’Neal, A.F.B.F. president; Albert S. Goss, National Grange Master; C. C. Teague, National Farm Cooperative president, and John Brandt, National Milk Producers Cooperative president, presented a strong statement which Included the foljow- ing nine points opposing a general food subsidy program:

1. The continuation of support prices to farmers to secure necessary production is not aa Issue In this controversy.

2. Hubs! die* mean a larger national debt and higher taxes.

3. Consumers are better able to pay their entire food trill today than ever before In history.

4. The system of consumer subsidies is more Inflationary than the system of "jpey-ae-yon-go.”

5. Subsidies create an unfair burden which will be imposed upon our returning soldiers.

6. Consumer subsidies lead to the socialization of agriculture aad the undermining of democratic government.

7. If the Stabilisation Act of Oct. 2, 1943, were properly carried out, prices and wages would be stabilized without consumer subsidies.

8. Subsidy proponents attempt to blame farmers for inflation. The farmer Is NOT to blame.

9. Subsidies will lead to postwar chaos.

After some discussion the 4-H member representatives present at this meeting unanimously voted In favor of a plan to set up such a proposed county council. I t was decided that this council should be composed of one repre sentative from each local 4-H club in the county and that the local club president should be the official delegate with the vice-president as alternate.

A committee of 2 girls and 2 boys was appointed to draw up a tentative set of rules to be presented to the regular council members at their first official meeting February 23. Beulah Kimber. Esmen 4-H; Mary Deg- man, Eppards Point 4-H; Glen Thomas, Dwight 4-H; and John Derr, Chatsworth 4-H were chosen for this committee.

CEILING BOOST MERELY BRINGS CORN PRICE TO PARITY—NORTON

“Although much p u b lic ity h a s been given the recent In c re a s e by OPA of 9 cents a bushel on c o rn , It merely raises the m a x im u m price to the full parity," s a y s L . J. Norton, chief in m a r k e t in g . University of Illinois C o lleg e of Agriculture. “This b r in g s i t to the lowest point at which a c e ilin g may be established on a f a r m c o m modity under the p r ic e c o n tro l act"

This price increase w ill lower the ratio between hog and corn prices and may cause some further decrease in hog production, but It Is doubtful whether It will stimulate movement of enough corn to satisfy all demands, Norton states. Interviews with elevator managers in eastern Illinois indicate they do not anticipate any substantial movement of corn until after January 1. Then they expect a heavy movement.

It will pay farmers to hold corn to dry down to 20 per cent, unless serious damage devclopes because the loss In moisture is more than offset by the increase In price. Discounts provided in the new order include a half c e n t for each .5 per cent moisture from 15.5 up to 17.5 per cent; three-fourths cent for each .6 per c e n t moisture over 20 per cent.

Why Do You Need this Farmer-Own^ Service N O W ?

In this second year of war, S E R V IC E has been maintained. There has been a huge Job of locating, transporting, allocating, and delivering 115 million gallons of motor and burner fuels; 2 million gallons of luhricatlng oil; 2% million pounds of greases; one million bags of protein feeds; and thousands of dollars' worth of othfr essential farm supplies. There has been plenty to complain abouL with rationing, price regulations, truck mileage reductions aim shortages of feed, tires and containers. Notwithstanding, member co-operation has been a t the highest level In our history.

QUALITY has been maintained. Critical material Hhortageu, transport delays, and manpower turnover, plus heavy demands naa forced attention on quality. We can proudly declare, however, th i t we have remained steadfast to our quality standards.

$896,830.24 In Patronage Dividends were paid to member companies. This money ultimately lands in the pockets of their F a n Bureau member patrons. In $7 years ot purchasing and dlstribiA- ion experience, the Illinois Farm Supply Company has returned 86,462,068.00 in total dividends,

Surely—if quality, sendee, and savings Justified our adsfc In periods of depression and peace,—what better Justification then be lo r our continued existence in times of prosperity and

“We have,” Abner replied. E v eryone looked surprised, because you wouldn’t think of a p la c e way up here In the country having a dial system. “It’s just for The Weirs though," be added. “You can only dial folks in The Weirs, and there are comparatively few.” The Weirs, nearest settlement to Abner's camp, is part of the city of Laconia.

Dry son, Abner’e house man, came out and aald: *Tt was the Elton camp, Mr. Bascom. Mr. Elton hlrr • ■elf was on tha phon . He asked for help. He seemed quite desperate.”

Abner scowled. “Elton asking for he lp ? Did he say what was wrong?"

“No, sir. He was sort of gasping. He said: ‘Send help, quick. Elton camp.* Then his voice trailed off and I couldn't rouse him again."

"Seems funny he wouldn't call the police U he needed help that badly,” Abner remarked, still hesitating.

During the drive over Abner told me a little about Elton. It seems he was a queer old duck, a retired lawyer who owned a camp on a point of land on Dockham Shore. He spent most of his time alone, fishing. He wasn't especially well liked. |

ROUNDS M ;

Now, show-windows are going on war-time.

In compliance with the Government’s request to conserve critical materials and fuel, through restricted use of electricity, your neighborhood retail stores are adopting a policy of not lighting their display windows at any time on Sundays, or legal holidays, or after 10:00 PM on business days. Nor will electric signs be lighted when the store is closed.

They are taking these fheasores voluntarily, to further war production by conserving coal, transportation, manpower, and critical materials through curtailed use of electricity. War-time for show-windows means less window-shopping, but it means quicker victory. So salute your retail merchant for his additional sacrifice.
