The Council chairman, Mrs.

Lloyd Blundell, appointed Mrs. G. L. Dugger, Mrs. I Emil Strnndtman nnd Mrs.

Louis' Van Horn as the committee to investigate the mutter and work with other committees. Another subject of discussion' that came up when the clubs were asked what they would like to see the council sponsor this year was a Council Library. The idea was! to have each council member to nate a book and the books be taken out at the monthly meetings. Much interest was shown in the matter and also for clubs to have such libraries. Action will be tak- 1 en at the March meeting of council.

Storey as chairman that would have for it3 object encouragemnt of the growing of sufficient food and feed necessary to supply ALL the people. Mr. Storey called a mass meeting at the Court House Saturday afternoon. lie called the meeting to order and explained its purpose. The County Council of Home Demonstration Clubs was in regular monthly meeting at the City Hall and being apprised of the meeting at the court house, adjourned and came as also did Miss Leta Bennett, home demonstration agent and T.

H. Royder, county agent. It was brought out in the discussions incident to the purpose of the gathering: tho there is a surplus of food and feed in the county and that such are practically unsalable on account of the abundance in the country, families who have been farm tenants and even some who own land come to the Red Cross and Comnvunity Charities begging for food. the object of the effort to have more food and feed grown is not to end the depression but that ALL may have a food supply during the depression. aid from Red Cross and Reconstruction Finance Corporation and other relief agencies is likely to be withheld from those counties that have not produced their own food and feed.

That the Red Cross representative here a few weeks ago went into the question of local food and feed supply rather thoroughly. was asserted by one of the speakers that we have not seen the worst of the depression and it met the approval of the large majority of those present. In which event the revenues of the government may not permit aid through the Red Cross and R. F. C.

and that communities should as far as possible be self sustaining. a surplus of and feed in the hands of a few does not meet the needs of the present crisis but each family in town and country must as near as and the movement was made more easy by the assistance of a number of the city employees in charge of City Commissioners Mohle and Carpenter, so do not park your car there. The new station is delightfully arranged and fills all the requirements of the business being done for the relief of the many. Thanks go to Mr. Frank Ohlendorf for a generous supply of black eyed peas, and Mr.

Henry Goetzel for some corn and Irish potatoes, they were very acceptable. Mr. and Mrs. Fortner gave the depot twenty five pounds of pinto beans and were needed. They were being handed out a few mom ents after their arrival.

A Mexican without beans is about as bad off as a small boy with a pocket full of rocks and nothing to throw at. His Honor the Mayor paid us a visit some days ago, and saw the hired help sweeping the floor with a broom evidently used as a means of cleaning house prior to the washout of which Mr. Noah and family took the leading part and his honor was so impressed that he ordered a new one to be delivered at once. The reason we know it was the Mayor and not the Editor was in the fact that he bought the broom and paid for it, and that is just what the editor could not do. The station had so important a session late Friday evening that many in the locality came by to see what is was all about.

It was just a bunch of Mexican school children from the classes of Miss- Dorothy Lipscomb, Mabelle Terry and Miss Annie Polk. Miss Polk, the principal of the school piloted them into the station and such a time was had fitting sweaters, shoes and other articles, such as we had. And that leads me to ask Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart, have you any old shoes, sox.

stockings, caps or trousers? Let us have them, and if we do not have some deserving Mexican child for each article, we miss our guess. They are the mon dilapidated lot of poorly food dressed chaps we ever saw and any thing you have, be it ever 80 terrible, is far better than many of them have on.

Clark. The ladies who came to the meeting from the County Council told of a yeaT round garden. If the garden does not grow in dry weather or freezes in cold weather, the pantry shelves should furnish a vegetable supply. These ladies have gone to the homes of others and taught the art of canning and preserving food. They have given from their pantry shelves to those who could at least have dried some boans and grown some meat.

These ladies say a number who can grow gnrd- ens have no pressure canners and not the money to buy cans. Some of the more provident of these are living on vegetables they dried such as beans. Not all varieties of vegetables thrive any year, hence a variety should be planted to secure a needed supply. The ladies also believe that some arrangement should be made by which those who grow gardens but are not able to procure cans ndr canners may have advantages of these adjuncts to home living. The men told of the difficulty of having Mexican tenants grow for the depot as we were given a bountiful supply of clothing for children and many shoes, and we are using them this week with school children.

Mrs. Edgar Smith proved to be a life saver with her 100 pounds of black eyed peas. If we do not have pinto's we give them peas, and all are satisfied. We had three overcoats on hand Monday morning and they were given away within an hour after opening. And by way of preface, the place in front of the depot has been U9ed by many for parking their cars during the day.

This interferes greatly with our work, and we hope that the practice will be discontinued. When we arrived at the station Monday morning a large car was parked in front of the door. IT. D. C.
