ROBERT H HARPER t The Kingdom Strongly Established. f.esson for September 17: 11 Samuel 2:17; 5:1.10. Colden Text: Psalm 125:1. It was tragic that, though Samuel had anointed David and, following the death of Samuel, the people of Judah had made him their king, years of civil jvar passed before David became the ruler of all Is< rael. After twb years Ishbosheth, a son of Saul, whom Abner had set up over the northern tribes, offended the man who had made him king and Abner vowed he would turn the people to David. Soon after ward two conspirators went into the house of the repudiated king and as sassinated him. In due time Abner made a league with David at Heb ron. Hearing.of this, Joab went aft er Abner and slew him—to avenge his brother Asahel and perhaps to remove a dangerous rival. At the close of this turbulent period of sev en years and six months, the north ern tribes came to Hebron and made David king over all IsraeL David soon strengthened himself and the kingdom by gaining a strong capital—Jerusalem. This an cient stronghold of the Jebusites had never been completely occu pied by the Israelites. David, with nearly 300,000 men, quickly pos sessed the city and began the work of extending its walls and of strengthening its defenses. Tidings of the capture of the city traveled far—Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing of it, sent workmen to build David a great palace of cedar. Thus be-' 'gan a friendship between the. king of Tyre and the house of David Which extended into the reign of Solomon. Ancient Salem, city of Melchize- dek, may have been Jerusalem; we cannot tell. Already existing in the days of the conquest, Jerusalem, apart from its religious significance, - has had a long and interesting his tory. The words of the Golden Text indicate the strength of the city. -X— Ration Calendar For Week of Sept. 11 .PROCESSED POODS; Blue A8 through L5 (Book 4) now valid at 10 points each for use with tokens.

'Always Fresh at Your Grocer’s ClauSSenS Bread V E R expected to save more than a mil lion dollars annually as the result of a broad campaign against up grading of butter now being waged by the Office of Price Adminis tration. The savings are expected to re sult in various decreases in retail prices of creamery butter. OPA explained that almost all cream ery butter sales in the Southeast since wartime shortages developed has been sold at top-grade or “pemium”. prices. Such quantity of top-grade creamery butter sim ply does not exist, OPA asserted in saying that investigators are checking all creamery butter sold throughout the United States and bringing prices within the proper grade. The action does not affect “country” butter generally sold ungraded, OPA said. September. Housewives of the Southeast are i To effect unfavorable weather conditions, the Office of Price Ad ministration has allowed Irish po tato growers in a group of States including Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Vir ginia an increase for the peroid of Sept. 1-Sept. 16 of 90 cents per hundred pounds over originally established shipping point ceiling prices for the month of Septem ber. From September 17 through September 30 country shippers in the same area may add 45 cents per hundred pounds to the same established maximum prices for Removal of several processed foods from rationing September 17 does not mean that these items will be removed from price con trol, E. H. Talbert, district direct or of the Office of Price Adminis tration, said today. Maximum price regulations af fect all the items to be removed from rationing and are not likely to be lifted soon, he emphasized. Processed foods to be removed from rationing include jams and jellies, fruit butters and the fol lowing canned vegetables and re lated products: asparagus, fresh lima beans, corn, peas, pumpkin or squash, mixed vegetables, baked beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste or puree, soups and baby foods. Commenting on the action Dis trict OPA Director Talbert said: “The decision to take these foods off rationing was a decision of the War Food Administration which has the responsibility of determin ing when there are adequate sup plies of food to allow removal from rationing. The action has been taken quickly and there may be some inconvenience to the trade and the consumer at first but we are doing everything we can to see that this move is put into ef fect in as orderly a manner as possible.” ber 15, E. H. Talbert, district OPA director, said today. Oil and gas stoves, however, v;i?I continue to be rationed. Local War Price and Rationing Boards will continue to issue ra tioning certificates to eligible ap plicants until that date, but quota restriction will be removed imme diately. Dealers and distributors may continue to use certificates with orders placed up until No vember 1. OPA said civilian supplies of the specified types of stoves are now ample enough to allow lifting of rationing restrictions. Coal and wood heating and cooking stoves will be removed from rationing to consumers Octo- Period 4 and 5 Fuel Oil Coupons which were scheduled to expire September 30 will remain valid throughout the coming heating year, E. H. Talbert, OPA district director, announced. Period 1 coupons for next season are now valid also. Mr. Talbert urged ration holders to fill their fuel oil tanks at once in order to relieve a national shortage of oil storage space and to make sure they will have oil when cold weather begins. The Ra tion Calendar is to be corrected accordingly, said Mr. Talbert. X WANT ADV. WANT — Small grain seeds to clean and separate. Am equipped to take vetch, cockle, etc., from different grains. J.
