And how the local consumer groups StU and reported the code's effects and revealed that; the regional advisers to the code author! tv, whose reports, they contradicted, were In both cases found to be principal owners in the 'local monopoly.

A few'years ago' bakeries from other towns forced the Honey Grove bakery to close shop and leave. This probably caused three or four houses to be vacated and lost 'several customers previously cared" for by local merchants. Now outside bakeries are threatening to-run the Commerce bakery out of town.

The same principle, remember, will apply to dry goods, hardware men, printing houses and other lines of'business. Commerce situation-is outlined by the-Commerce Eagle in the following statement: The price-cutting bread war. if continued, may result in Commerce again having to do without a bakery, then "what will the quitters pay bread? You know what they'will pay, and everybody in Com- nicrce "knows what, they will pay. That's bsen tried again and again. good business for out of town bakery men to force the price down until your local baker can no longer make a living at it, closes up'his shop arid moves away, then what happens.

Bread immediately jufrips up to a high level and stays there until some other man is persuaded to open a shop in Commerce. It's a pity that those who are so ready to quit local bakers just as soon as oufc-of-town men undertake to-put them out of Commerce can't have the privilege and duty of having to support year in and year out the out-of-town baker who always raises the price of bread as soon-as tb.e local man is frozen out. would serve them, right. Here are -some figures: In August 1933, before Clark's Bakery opened here, you were paying these out-of-town bakers 7c wholesale. Flour was then selling for 'at least $2.50 cheaper than it is today, lard or bread shortening and other ingredients the same in' 4fae out-of-town baker offers you bread at'6c wholesale, and has sold it as low as 5c wholesale.

i Your local baker, Clark's Bakery, can not do that and he is being slowly but surely pushed to the wall. It's up to you, do you want a local bakery, or don't you? When this price cutting scheme started Clark's Bakery was employing twelve people regularly and time. Now, he is employing six people regularly and no extras at all. There's a reason. Think it out for Times.

any rate cannot leave a memory of bitterness and frustration. Opposition is generally not- onlj unwise but useless. Even "if the parents win, it' may well be at the' expense of the girl's whole future hap piness. Many of these early loves are very real and grow into beau marriages and opposition only the ideal more firmly in the minci.

Already there have' come many reliable indicationis' of the attitude of the national administration in the.se respects, and it may be that like as extensive a program will be carried on this year as during the last.

The-Fort Worth Star-Telegram prints an editorial headed' "Aiding the Grim "In the year closed, County ranked well among- the tophotchers in' the two biggest branches of what might be called the most distinctive American that. of killing people. During the 12 months there -were 33 homicides and 65 deaths caused by accidents in the operation of -motor, cars. It is somewhat of a commentary upon the prevalence in this country cf both these means of violently terminating human existence when it is pointed out that this county's 1934 record is an; improvement in one category over 1933. the year there were '44 homicides the counts'.

It will be seen from the figures that it was just twice as ous in 1934 to be in the -way of automobiles" as it was to be in the neighborhood of a person entertaining a homicidal urge." Life is held cheap in this country, and as much as most people fear death they exercise poor judgment 'in the matter of trying to preserve life. Carelessness accounts for an enormous toll each year, which is shown by th records of traffic accidents and other of others are ruthlessly slain by murderers, a large percentage of whom either escape punishment al- togethtr or are not" required to make anything like adequate retribution.

I "Maybe Rip found, he had gone so -far that it was safer for him to stop off somewhere for shelter" suggested Tppjtfotch. "He's a sensible, intelligent dog--and he probably, thought it would be 'foolish to try to make his way home through such a blizzard.

He. must have gone quite a distance before he realized it was a true storm and then, it was too late to come back with safety." "That's probably night," agreed Willy Nilly and the others nodded their heads. But in his heart he did not like the look of the great snow banks outside. If Rip had taken shelter and was remaining there, it wag all right. But if he had tried to come home and had lost his way and the snow had been too soft and deep for him to manage and had had to those- were the thoughts' that were worrying the little man.

Where shall we find him? Where shall we look for him?" cried Willy Nilly.

the doctors office and yet -in modern. times there is' a factor, common to both. This factor can. be expressed in terms of the animal and its environment resembling the native haunt. The modern physician in the words of one who ha.s devoted much study to the subject, must deal with "the being and his constitution, including all the gross and details of his environment." more pertinent is the ef feet which environment has upon man's behavior both in the gross, that is, in relation to the outer world, arid physiologically.

We know that man can consciously manipulate his so-called volun- tary musculature according to his own needs and demands, in reia- tinn to his environment. If the cir- cumstances call for movement or quiet, for running, jumping, man may through the agency of his riervous system and his voluntary muscles make the necessary adjustments. But man has another set of muscles, the so-called smooth or non-striated ariety. These are not under voluntary or conscious control. These are not the muscles that he employs in making conscious adjustmezUs to environment.

But this musculature carries on the vital processes supporting the life of inner existence. The musculature of the tract, the musculature of the circulatory system, fall into this Though the smooth musculature is riot under voluntary control, it is strongly influenced by emotions. arid it should be noted that the emotions which influence and affect the smooth muscalature need not be perceived in consciousness. Perhaps' the quality of this man- environment relation was appreciated by our remote ancestors, who coined the word disease, for in truth, disease is an expression of maladjustment; between the organism and its surroundings.
