Cut the bread evenly, but not tco

tides so that the butter forms a coat
ing that prevents the filling from
soak'ng through. Don’t got the edges
smeared with batter. Butter should
be creamed before it is spread on
bread for sandwiches, but it should

Explaining his forecast, he sad:
“One million American made cars
will be shipped overseas and so'd in
the next few ^ears. Today there
are upwards of 29 505,475 motor ve
hicles in the world, and of this num
ber 23 mill'on aie in use in the
United States. I feel that this is al
together out cf proportion. The Unit
ed States has only about l-20th of
the world's population and only a
fiaction of its habitable land. Yet
it owns 80 per cent of all the motor
vehicles in the wcrld.

make the wcnld motor minded. F-1
instance. Chevrolet cars and truckr

“During the first six months o
this year General Motors Export re
ports the sale of 57,808 CL vrole J
passenger cars and 59 542 (rucks as
compared with 38,594 passenger cam
and 32,799 t: ueks for the f rst six
months of 1927. This increase in th:
export trade has been reflected gen
erally. Figures for the first eight
months covering the entire American
export field show an increase of 3C
per cent over 1927.
“The home market will always re
main the backbone of the industry.
The prospect of a rapidly expanding
volumn of foreign trade supporting
the excellent outlook for domestic
business seems to indicate that the
automobile industry is entering the
greatest period of its history.”

In selecting corn for seed or breed
ing, farmers in the Southern States
are advised to choose ears having
husks that are at least long enough
to cover the tip of the ears and that
close tightly around the silks. Veiy
long, tight husks are an aid in pre
venting injury from th e corn ear-
worm and the weevil and also from
birds.
“The first and best victory is to
conquer self,” said Plato. “To be con
quered by self is, of all things, the
most shameful and vile.”
The first step in thrift is “to con
quer self.” Until this self-conquesi
has been made we will never change
our habits for the better.
We may realize the folly of waste
fulness and extravagance. We may
wish that we might get cut of the
way of always being behind finan
cially. We may realize in the hon
esty of our own hearts that we arc
doing ourselves a grave injustice by
th e neglect of our physical well be
ing. We may know that we are al
lowing golden opportunities for self-
improvement and advancement td be
neglected. We may have a clear
viewpoint of all of these attitudes.
But until we apply the Platcoian
test to our rules on conduct, we are
“conquered by self” which is “of all
things, the most shameful and rile.”
Perhaps we have not thought all
the way through these personal
problems. In neglecting to save
money or practice other phases of
thrift, we have not realized, possibly
the great harm being done to our
selves mentally and spiritually. We
have thought only of the material
phases.
It is well for us in th's fast and
fascinating era to listen across the
ages to the voice c«f Plato, remind
ing us of the glory of victory over
self and the shame of a conquest won
by our own follies.
Those who practice thrift may rest
assured that not all the values ac
cruing to them can b e measured in
teims c'f dollars. They may find in
spiration in the concept that they aie

gold—a strong character, a sturdy
