CHAPMAN M O R T I C I AN LIVE AND LEARN I t ’s been a long time since most of us were getting a title hila ious ab out the depression and swapping sto ries about who suffered the most. But that’s about the way a lot of us acted when the ‘29 prosperity bubble broke and took all our pretty paper profits away. We’ve learned plenty since then. We’ve learned that if we ever get another chance we’ll save. Boy, how we’ll save! No more stocks oon mar gin. No more automobiles for every one in the family. If the kids can’t use poppa’s car they can do without. We”ll buy no more houses in the hope of paying for them when our truckload of money pulls up to the door next week. We’ll go easy on fur coats and diamond rings and all the little trinkets we brot home as a little “before supper” surprise for ma. »> We’re all going to save for that rainy day that’s going to come. For if we haven’t learned anything else, we’ve learned the rainy day stret ches into a long monotonous driz zle with mighty few clouds breaking thru. The clouds are scattering now. Ev ery time a new defense order barges out of Washington another cloud breaks and lets a little more slip thru. There’s a boom on its way and it’s going to hit here any day. Al ready some of the industrial towns have the look of a good healthy gold rush on the loose, and the boom is spreading. Well when it gets here we’ll wel come the little stranger, welcome him with a few minor reservations. We’ve seen his kind before. He’s nice com pany, very entertaining, the life of i'KBRi a KY. 7, l'.Ul the party. But when fie goes hi leaves the world’s worst hangover. We’re ready for this boom fellow. We’ve been toughened by two many long bitter years not to know what to do when he gets here. They call us “Scrooge” or "Midas”, "Miser” or “Stingy” but when this fellow leuve.- we’re going to be sitting pretty. We’ll save every extra cent that comes along because we know that a dollar in the sock is worth ten on paper. And how we know it. But while we’re waiting we’vO been looking around. And there are a few little things we want to buy. And “Consolidated Mazuma” looks like it’s due for a rise, we might take a flier in that. And nia’s been talking about a couple of new dresses. And maybe the kids do need a car of their own, why everybody used to have 9 home. But after that we’ll put our foot down. We’re going to save, save, save. There’s just a few little things we want to buy first, just a few. Get the BEST in Cleaning There is only a few cents difference between Inferior Cleaning and the Best. Why don’t you treat Your Clothes to the BEST. We come to the front again with Flex Form,, an instrument that measures your garments precision fit com bined with Lusterize. You really get something for your money. GOOD NEWS Farm prices ac -ording to the lut- est information issued by the United States department of agriculture in mid-December averaged 101 percent of the 1910-1914 level further de creasing the spread between prices paid and prices received by the far mer. Also farm pioduct prices were relatively stable during 1940. That is good for agriculture. The Ameri can farmers has steadily improved his position in spite of chaotic conditions over most of the world. A large share of the credit for this must go to the farmer himself. He has not let government farm aid deaden his resourcefulness. Fed eral money has not blinded him to the fact that in the long run he will sink or swim,, depending upon his own initiative. He has steadily sought to improve production and marketing techniques. In the latter respect the farmer- owned marketing cooperatives arc becoming a national instiution. They have demonstrated their strength and, soundness over many years. The far mer would be lost without them in the business world of today.

E s t e c e d a 97*3 causes of fire. Your town has an ex pel t mechanic who can examine yours and make certain if is safe and effi cient. Exposed electric wiring is still another major hazard, and again an expert mechanic, thru periodic check ups can make it safe. Improper stor age of paints, cleaning fluids and ot her inflamables is a thiid great ha zard, a hazaid which will disappeai if you see to it that the liquids are kept in air-tight containers. Accumu lations of papers, magazines, old clothes and similar junk is a fourth hazard, all you have to do is call the rags.bottles-and-sacks vendor. If you live in the desert far from other habitation in a mud house and depend upon the sun for heat, don’t worry about fire. But if you live elsewhere start to work banishing the hazards now.
