THE JOURNAL 8 COMMITEES CHOSEN BY LIONS GROUP Maybank Tells How Inflation Ruined Overseas Investment If you ask Senator Burnet R. real value of the Carolina what he thinks about the perils of inflation in America hell grimly refer you to two letters in his files dealing with an investment he made in Germany back in 1920 shortly before that nation went bankrupt. Mr. Maybank had 100,000 marks on deposit in a Bremen, Germany bank, representing $20,000 in U.S. money. In 1923 he took steps to draw it out for conversion into U.S. money. . He got two letters in reply to his request for the withdrawal. The first letter, dated Dec. 8, 1923, said : My Dear Mr. Maybank:' Maybank three Ways With Blueberries By ALICE DENHOFF milk, one well beaten egg and 3 A REAL American fruit, thats tbsp. melted butter or margarine.

A recent development in the food Mixture, field, an Ascorbic-Citri- c and economically proeffectively tects tiie fruit against the effects of oxidation. It is a scientific balance of two natural food ingredients, ascorbic and citric acids. The ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) retards the browning while the citric slows down the action of the enzymes so destructive to ascorbic. In the preparation of fruits for freezing, this antioxidant is mixed with sugar or sugar syrup. One teaspoonful protects a pound of fruit at a cost of abiut a penny a pound. No change in freezing methods is required. The fruit will be protected before and during freezing and, later, while it is being thawed for use. ' Fresh fruits for desserts, salads or fruit cocktail can be prepared in advance, and served with their natural color and flavor hours later by using this ascorbic citric mixture. light-color- ed - COLD PACK Combine 1A c. sifted flour, 2 y2 tsp. baking powder, 2 tbsp. granulated sugar and tsp. salt.

I am exceedingly sorry that your speculation has turned out unprofitable this time and I sincerely wish that your future enterprises in this line will turn out more lucky. Enclosed I beg to return the 100.000 marks with compound interest and perhaps it will be a pleasure to you to have a souvenir of your first speculation in the shape of an enclosed bill of 1,000,000,000 marks. This amount sounds like a tremendous profit on an investment of 100,000 marks, but even the billions do not count much in our country any more, which is already seen by the poor paper that is used for the bill. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I am with kindest regards, 19,-1923- , Treasury Secretary Snyder, asking that Congressional consideration be given to a problem relative to the tax treatment of expenses of raising livestock held for draft, breeding, or dairy purposes, as dealt with in section 117 (j) (1) of the Internal Revenue code. The letter advises the Congress that farmers and ranchers who make returns on a cash basis are receiving windfalls which not only wipe out their capital gains but also a part of their income from other while those using the accrual basis are now paying tax on the true amounts of their capital gains. The Treasury Secretary asserts that the problem arises out of (1) the sources, long-continu- ed qjer-mitti- ng to be denied, because of a statement in a report of a congressional tax committee that gains from sales of livestock should be computed in accordance with the method of livestock accounting used by the taxpayer and presently recognized by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. ' Thus, the letter concludes, It is clear that this matter Clarence R. FARMINGTON elected Sorenson, newly president of Farmington Lions announces the appointment of committees for the coming year.

In a letter to Brannan, AFBF pointed out that the 2,930,000 ton goal set by the Defense Production- Administration for nitrogen production by 1955 would be insufficient to meet both defense and farm require- ments. At first glance, the letter said, it appears that DPA's goal would take care of the future needs of agriculture for nitrogen fertilizer. However, on the basis of an analysis of the trends of fertilizer use, and with consideration to the fact that agriculture is a residual user of nitrogen after the needs of industry and defense have been met, it is believed the expansion of capacity beyond that planned will be needed. tow tosaiu. requires legislative CHERRIES Wash, stem and pit cherries or 10 minutes.
