This year's contracts indicate the success experienced with the plan last year. An increase of 100 per cent is noted this year over last Under the financing plan sponsored spon-sored by the Producers Service Corporation, Cor-poration, which is being handled through the local poultry plant and dressing plant, producers will be furnished the chicks at three cents each, laid in, and the feed will be financed for them. They will be guaranteed 14 cents a pound, and if the market goes beyond that point, the producers will get the benefit of the higher price. The project is a short term one, bringing in ready cash during the spring season when poultrymen are faced with the problem of financing financ-ing spring chicks and pullets until they come into production. Other benefits locally will be a longer run at the dressing plant, providing additional ad-ditional employment here. Although most of the producers participating in Ui2 " n already have signed up, others are expected to come in on it in the near future. fu-ture.

As time went on other rooms were added until the home was completed as it now stands today. Mrs. Jones gave birth to eleven children, three of which died in infancy. Two boys, one at the age of two and the other four years old died with diphtheria, their deaths occurring one day apart.

She was always ambitious am-bitious and conscientious in the management of her family affairs. She was a real companion to her husband and children. Her main interest was in her home and family, fam-ily, rather than in social or public life. She loved books and spent a small part of each day reading, Even up until the last few weeks she kept up with aE current events. She could discuss intelligently any subject. It was a treat to her grandsons to talk with her about current sporting events. Mrs. Jones' main hobby was flowers. flow-ers. Her garden and house plants were a delight to behold. "THOUGHTS OF MOTHER" God sent his choicest spirit upon the earth to dwell That she might teach his children and His love would telL Her heart was full of goodness, so loving and so kind. And I could meet with millions, bat never would I find A pal, that I could talk with, and trust from day to day For in my hours of sorrow she made my heart feel gay, And never could I hope to find or feel there is another, For: God has blessed me most of all He made that soul my mother Now that God's called her back to Him I pray my reward will be A place beside my mother in the Sweet Eternity.
