Form Leaders Discuss 1954 Cotton Quotas Chicago, Dec. 8—Representatives of farm bureaus in cOtton-growing states today discussed next year’s cotton acreage allotments. Suggestions for increasing the acreage were made, but there was no agreement on just how it should be done. Secretary of Agriculture Benson has set the acreage ,for 1954 at 17,- 910,000 acres. This would be a substantial reduction from the 2,- 600,000 this ( year. Benson suggested that a larger acreage be permitted, but said the final figure must be fixed by Con gress. Senators Eastland (D-Miss and Anderson (D-NM) have worked out a 21,315,000 acre compromise to be submitted to Congress. LOCAL POST OFFICE OPEN SATURDAY P. M.

McGee Santa Claus Can't Miss Gay Stocking (By DOROTHY ROE) The night before Christmas—and what Santa could resist filling this gay felt stocking, decorated with holiday touches? No chance of a mixup either, with the owner’s name written on the cuff in glitter ing sequins. i For a wonderful pre-Christmas gift, which will do duty each Yule- tide for years to come, make a spec ial stocking for each child on your list, following these directions from your local sewing center: You will need 3-8 yards of red felt, mercerized thread to match, felt for the cuff. Scraps of colored and a 10 by 12 inch piece of white felt for appliques and assorted beads and sequins will provide the bais for the decorations. First cut a pattern marking meas urements as shown on brown paper. Use your pinking shears to cut the felt and cut two strips, 1 by 5 inch es, for a loop at the top. Make the pattern for the cuff and use pinking shears to cut. Then let your imagination go— using your scraps of felt, cut trees, stars, angels, jingle bells, candy canes and horns. Make your own designs or use magazine pictures for patterns. Stitch down,, or attach with beads and sequins. It is nec essary to complete the decorations before putting the stocking togeth er. Fill in spaces between with star-shaped sequins. Use a continuous row of sequins to make the name on the cuff. Now stitch together the edges of the stocking, leaving the top open. Join the edges of the two strips, fold to make a loop and pin to out- s de of stocking back. Sow the side edges of the cuff together and slip over the stocking, shorted side up. Matching the edges, pin and stitch to stocking to catching the loop in the back. Then hang on a nail over your fireplace and let Santa take care Of the rest Oliver Templeton Claimed By Death, Last Rites Here —— Oliver M.
