Wheal Growers Will Vole On Marketing Quotas On Saturday Practically All of Wheat Grown In This County Used At Home Enough wheat on hand to supply the nation's normal domestic needs and exports for two years is the pros pect wheat growers are facing as they prepare to vote on marketing quotas for 1942 on Saturday, according to County Agent W. V. Hays. There were 225 acres grown last year in Washington Caunty, and it is believed that about the same amount of acres will be planted this year. Practically all of het wheat grown in this county was used for home con sumption. Four farms engaged about 50 persons in wheat growing last year in this county, and it is blieved that about this number will be eligible to vote in the referendum on Satur day. Mr. Hays said that the nation's wheat supply on hand July 1. 1942, is estimated at 1,432,000,000 bushels. Quotas must be approved by at least two-thirds majority in a nation al referendum to become effective. All wheat growers planting more than 15 acres of wheat and whose normal production is 200 bushels or more are eligible to vote. The voting place will be at the agriculture building in Plymouth.

The Quartermaster General wires the superintendent the verifica tion and permission for the burial. A lot is then assigned and arrange ments made for the interment, in cluding the date and hour of the fun eral. This procedure usually requires about 24 hours.

They will ar range to handle expenses covering all services such as embalming, cloth ing, casket, shipping box, hearse, transportation. The government bears the expense of opening and closing the grave. However, after burial, the responsible parties, meaning those obligated for the expense of the funeral services rendered, may apply to the Veterans' Administration, with the properly endorsed invoices for services, and will be reimbursed to the extent of $100. Provision is also made for burial of the veteran's wife there, but when the wife dies first and is buried in a National Cemetery, the veteran must sign an agreement that he, too, will be buried there. At the time either is thus buried, reservation is made for an adjoining grave site for the other. Tire burial of minor children and unmarried adult daughters is per mitted, under certain conditions, pro vided there is room in the lot assign ed to the individual veteran, but the wife only can be interred prior to the interment of the veteran. Lots are not assigned in all cemeteries. In case a member of any branch of the armed services dies while on ac tive duty, burial may be made in a National Cemetery if the family so desires, and the government will bear all expenses up to a certain figure, and is handled by the Quartermaster Corps at the post where the deceased was assigned. This expense usually runs $85, but may exceed that amount in exceptional cases upon authority of the Quartermaster General. If death is by accident, such as drown ing, an airplane accident, etc., the government will pay expense incurred in the recovery of the body in addi tion to embalming, clothing, casket, shipping box, hearse, transportation, pall bearers and an escort.

Services Sunday At Saints Delight Rev. CAYTON PRESTON, Pastor Church services at Saints Delight Christian Church Sunday. Bible school at 11. Eastern War Time: W. A. Swain, superintendent. Church service at 12, Preston Cay ton, pastor. Subject: “The Palm Tree Christian,” The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.—Ps. 92.12.1 The palm tree is useful. The Chris tian, too, can be useful in the church and community where they live. Tire palm tree is beautiful. And what is more beautiful than the life of a Christian. The palm tree roots it self in the purest soil. We, too, must root ourselves that when the storms of life come, we may be able to stand. The palm tree grows in clumps. No palm tree will grow by itself, it will die. No Christian can grow by himself: he, too, will die. The palm tree thrives when weighted down. The palm tree is the emblem of vic tory. In olden days the branches of the palm tree were spread before the conqueror on his return from battle. The palm tree flourishes because it is obedient to the laws of God. The Christian will grow, too, when he is obedient to the laws of God. I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree: A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth’s sweet, flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day. And lifts her leafy arms to pray: A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair: Upon whose bosom snow has lain, Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Service Sunday evening at 8:30; "Jesus, the Marvelous Man." You are invited to attend all these services. Come and bring the fam ily. No better place than church can we spend the day of rest, the day of worship. I was glad when they said, Let us go to the House of the Lord. You are welcome at Saints Delight Christian church. Tire place where old friends meet; meet to pray, sing, to hear the word of God preached.
