As an inventor of hord metal tool* trhirh increasr the produc-
tivity of men in machine shops, mines, and construction work, and
as a man who founded and it now Preaidmt of Kenna-
mctal Inc in the emaH town of L Ait robe, Pennsylvania, I believe
fhat money u ;ii4»f another too' -a measuring tool Hmr trrll it
servos the needs of honest men depends upon the confidence ichich
ran bf placed upon it, not only as u lair measure of value in day to
Q(i]i transactions, b’.it also as a 4 i,rly i • iffrnf mev ire f honest
payment for work done or savings made, to he paid for ,n longer
periods of time
Fortunately. Americans can restore the faith in the currency of
our country by repealing promptly the laws prohibiting the use of
gold money as a measure of value by American citizens We hare
the necessary gold coverage to do it A bill intri>duced recently in
Congress by Howard Buffett, of Nebraska, H H $031 will do it
Otherwise, u?e face the prospect of constantly deteriorating money,
rniny prices, and eventual galloping inflation and loss of freedom
by arbitrary controls
Look in an arithmetic book used
before World War I and you'll find
the tables of measure* of weight,
of rapacity and of distance are as
valid now as they were 40 years
ago The pound avoirdupois is still
lt> ounces, the gallon contains 4
quarts, the yard is still 36 inches
The Bureau ol Standard* at Wash-
ington has faithfully preserved the
necessary measures tor us to use
But the arithmetic book of 40
years ago also had a table entitled
Measures of Value'' which has
been sadly distorted by p

The Board of Supervisors point-
ed cnit that native grass seed
harvest should begin about the
30th of September and with fax
orable weather continue until the
tenth ot twelfth of October. In
this short period ol time every
combine in the district should be
at work harvesting native grass
seed. It ts very seldom that nat-
ive grasses produce a good seed
crop and advantage should be
taken of th* unusually good crop
being produced this year.
Information received indicate?
that aII of the seed that can he
harvested will find a market at
a price of some 25 cent? to 35
• nt? ;>er pound An average mea-
dow cun be expected to produ< e

m money of very Idffe value to
them A hill H R 5031, has been
introduced in Ccngns.* by the
Hon. Howard Buffett of Nebraska
which would fix the value o» the
dollar at it* present fiieial rate
of $35 an ounce of gold. Wr can-
not rect.fv the wrong done to citi-
zen* in 1934 who were required
by a law to turn in all gold and
gold coins and receive $2'i in paper
money for each ounce turned in,
or for each 520 gold piece Shortly
thereafter, when the gold was in
the Tieasury it wa* advanced in
value to $35 an ounce But we can
Mop further devaluation by re-
turning to the redeemable fold
coin standard of money now rur-
tunatelv we have in the Treasury
23 6 billion* of dollars of gold
based upon $35 an ounce Our Fed-
eral Reserve Notes have over 50%
gold backing which u plenty to
support redeemable g >ld monev.
it i* now required to be 25% and
a proposed hill mav make it high-
er. say 40% It has been as low a*
30% in the 1920 s wrhcn gold was
freely exchanged for our paper
m m y on demand.
The teacher of ho'orv may teach
the truth in regard tn the expe-
rience that net once in the tr"u-
tilod history of the w orld has paper
succeeded a* a substitute for
money of mtrinsir value The
teacher may recount the experi-
ences under Roman Emperors in
calling in the money and issuing
i.ghter eo.ns stamped the same
va.ur or of debasing the coins by
adding more ha*e metal The
teacher may tell of the Mississippi
Bubble sponsored by John Iaw
tn 1720 in France: of monetary
quark* !n France before and dur-
mg the F’cnrh Revolution, of the
apparently reasonable paper
money inflation based upon the
v^lue of the land seized from the
Church and from the nolaiiity dur-
ing the Revolution but how. like
all paper money schemes, it re-
sulted in discs and eventual re-
pudiation ln American history
they may tell about the brave
stand against paper monev by
Andrew Jackson, who pointed out
that it defrauded the common
man. They may tell ef Sherman's
courageous words In the 1870's,
“the way to resume is to resume •*
They may note that in recent
v-rars the first moves of Mussihn:
ill,tier and I<rnin were to prohibit
the use of gold and geld coins by
, citizens They may show the close ,
j connection between human free- 1
dom and gold redeemable money.
T' cy may note Lenin's remark .
that the best way to take over a I
country is to encourage printing t
i press money in It first These and
other studies caused me to write j

A recommendation wa* made
• o th* state legislative council
committee this week that the
school children ef Oklahoma don
ate thetr present textbooks te th#
state This action, th# recom
mendation maid, would cut th#
cost 01 the free book ptogram
more than half a million dollartl
To me. this idea seems to - he
a most logical one For years
now. school children have piled
used school hooks In attics nnd
dote rooms and never look at
them again If such a plan had
been started year* ago. think of
the va«t amount of money that
could have been saved by the
ta«pa>ers of the state up to this
lime

school children whe would donate
their textbooks on such a plan

Kate Smith to borne eeon

should women save their Used
cooking fat?
Here are their answers and
three excellent reasons to con-
tinue and accelerate salvage of
kitchen grease
It la almost sinful. In a world
pitifully short of fats and oil* to
waste any tat Used kltghen fat
reprooeaaed for Industrial use re
Uevea pratsur# on edible fats
and makes more food fata avail
able for hangry people all over

Then the praetl'al beneht A
food editor pointed oul to roe
that saving used rooking fat and
selling It to your meat dealer.
»hile it does lake time, u actu-
ally the simplest way of disposal
Four kitchen giease down the
•ink and whal happens* V ou
have to pay s plumber to exca-
vate your drains.
Toss fst into the garbage can,
and first thing you know. It has
leaked through and left smelly
stains In the lining of your pad
Storing grease in a used fat con-
tainer and selling it to your meat
dealer is by far the easiest and
most efficient way, to dispose of
an otherwise odorous and worth-
less mess
5k hen you sell kitchen grease,
your meat dealer gives you pen-
nies for every pound Not enough
to buy a sirloin steak but cash
In the hand, which is more than
fou get for potato peelings,
orange skins, egg sheila or any
other kitchen waste product
