'Things worth while in life are those that count for success, peace and happiness. Thinking good thoughts, speaking good words, doing good deeds, praying effectual prayers, forming good habits, set ting high aims, having gTeat and noble purposes, reading good books and a high class of literature, keep ing good company, . and honestly, earnestly traveling in the right di rection—this makes for the best, in life Anything short of this makes life a failure. If we look and hunt for the worth while things in life we can alwavs find them. Thev are with in us and all about ns. God pro vides tne best for us, and if we will accept it we can be assured of the best of consequences. It is true we shall have the forces and influences of evil to contend witb, as they are all about os also; but evil can be overcome with good. Where sin abounds, grace likewise abounds— even abounds more abundantly and powerfully. The power of God and good is stronger than that of the devil and sin. If this were not so then it wonld be impossible for any net son to live right and. over come sin. Things worth while are those that are worthy. Thev are worth more than diamonds and pearls, silver and gold, rubies and gems. God values them, as they are of God. And we may be assured of fact, that whatever God values and sets His approval aud seal upon, and whatever comes from Him, is worth while. The graces, virtues, noble characteristics and principals of heart, mind, soul and spirit are beyond all price. Richesin materi al things cannot buy them. They are heavenly gifts, not earthly. They are eternal possessions, not temporal, if we hold on and on to them. They go with ns through time and over into eternity. God has blessed us with things worth while—talents, gifts, abili ties, virtues, principals, traits, characteristics,, mental and spiri tual possessions and riches, along with the golden opportunities of using them to our good, the good of our fellow men, and to the glory of God. These are things worth while. Itisuptousastow hatw e do with them. We can undervalue them, waste them, throw them a- wav and thus blight and corse onr iives of mankind, and in the end lose our sools and cause others to be lost forever; or we can use them to our good, the good of humanity and to the glory of God forever, hence sharing the blessedness of God forever. Reader, how is it with you? Black Page. In a recent talk, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau said: "It would be folly to assume that we can continue to spend now as we did in normal times." Congress, unhappily, has indul. ged to the limit in that folly. It continues to appropriate Ullions for defense .without making a single important cut in useless, non de. fense spending. It continues to play politics. We have all been told that we must tighten our belts. What is true of individuals, is true a mil. lion times, over the government. The maintenance now of non-de fense government spending at de. pression peaks is one_of the black pages in American history.—Ex. Twenty thousand small businesses face a complete shutdown because they cannot obtain defense contracts or materials with which to carry on their normal activities. , The Federal Government h as twelve different. agencies charged with various phases of Govenunent housing. Little Stingers. From The Yellow Jacket Theodore Roosevelt’s motto was to "speak softly but carry a big stick;" FDR’s idea seems to be to “speak loud and stick out yonr neck big” "For a man who objects to poli tical agitation that arouses disuni ty,” FDR seems to get a lot of pleasure, picking the old scabs off political sores he made by purging the Senate and packing the Su preme Court. If you believe in upholding the national faith and credit, the main tenance of a sound currency and the upbuilding of American indus tries, then you are a good Repub lican, even if you are wearing a Democratic tag and a tin rooster in your hat. It’s "picking” time in the cot ton fields all right and it’s time right now to begin picking out 100. per cent America s for cong'ession- al candidates to be elected next year. We need Republicans to help audit the books of the New Deal. Cft course no patriotic American citizen is going to object to paying taxes to build up our national de fense but he has a right to feel sore over having to pay heavy taxes to take care of a huge debt that has been piled up by the New Deal in time of profound peace. The National Safety Council re ports that traffic deaths for the past eight months have reached an all- time high of 24,030—18 per cent higher than the same period of 1940. Statistically the auto Is life’s uglest joke. Its toll makes war seem !ike the work of ameteurs. Marshall Field, Jr., is quoted as saying in New York; “I happen to have been left a great deal of mon. ey. I don’t know wbat is going to happen to it and I do *’t give a damn.” Speaking of heirs of great fortunes, it mav be staled that this is by no means an original thought. At the American Legion meet the boys had fun with the "Pledge of Allegiance" which says: "I pledge subservience to the present administration, and to the public debt for which it stands; one fami ly insufferable, with divorces and captaincies for all. Plow-Under Program Needed? When the New Deal came into power the Department of Agricul ture had approximately 27,000 em ployees Thefarmers were raising too much food. In order to help them raise less food the personnel of the department has been raised to 91,000. Now that the farmer is asked for more food again, it will be interest ing to see whether any of these peo ple are turned off or even more add ed to help farmers do what they were already, doing when there were oniy 27j000 employees. With^the Government bringing thousands of new employees weekly into Washington, a city already crowded almost to indecency, and a shortage of desk space for defense offices, it would seem that the 64.000 increase in Department of Agricul ture employees might be reduced and the personnel turned over to de fense offices, and the desk space more useful y employed. With.farmers short of help, some of the empleyees in the office might do formers more good milking cows and slopping hogs, than by pushing pencils or waiting, for orders. But, looking them over, one would wonder just what a former would do with manv of them or what interest they would have in agriculture anyway.; The revised budget estimates for 1942 shows that the Government hopes to spend |18 ,000,00p,000 for national defense in the current fiscal year. The current fiscal year show ed that this Government planned to spend $10 ,811 ,000,000. The Record is only $1,00. A Pioneer Welsbman In Davie County On Mondav afternoon Mr. Co lumbus Chaffin and I, walking a- long the road east of Sheffield, saw In an open field a lonelv g ave mar. ked bv an old soapstone at its head. On it was found, "Joseph Jones, born Sept. i, 1772, died age .82 vears, 10 days.” . Byfais side an. other bearing simply, "Henrietta Jones, age 74.” Large box bush es cover the low stone at wife’s grave. Ap arently no other graves there. The small section on which graves are, Is at least a foot above the surrounding land, showing the effect of erosion. That morning, Mr Latta Ratledge had written the name of a Rev. Mr. Jones, a pioneer preacher a) Beal’s Meeting House, where was organized the first Methodist church in Western North Carolina, in 1780. Tradit ion savs almost 20 years prior, preaching bad beendone under an arbor by Beal and Jones. Eighty- seven years have passad since the remains of Joseph Jones were laid to rest. These silent sentinels of the dead called memory and imag ination into plav. First, the name Jones, a name interesting to me since two of mv great grandfath ers bore the name and both ot their fathers were Revolutionary soldiers, ono a Captain, the other a Major, and a captive of the notorious tv rant, David Fanning, the Captain an officer at the battle of Gulltord Court House. Specialists in ancient history say: The Welch race is traced to remote antiquity. When Abraham wrest ed with angels the direct ancestors of modern Welshmen were already among the ancients. Many thous ands of years before Abram these children of remote antiquity lived where many ages later Babylon was built; but a stronger .ace came in and drove the race in a northeast erly direction; they somewhat cir cled ihe Fertile Crescent, Mauy settled in Gan), where Julius Cae sar found them Some settled in what is now Italy; a smallee num ber crossed the English Channel and located on that island. The Romans called these paople Celts; the Greeks called them Kelts. Those who settled in England re mained there until about 550 A. D. By this time the Agles, Saxons and lutes, had become strong in- tbL Celtisb land, from the beginning of the Anglo-Saxon settlements be tween these races constant warfare raged. Earlier pioneers had ven. tured on inti Scotland; others had settled Ireland, leaving their kins men in England to fight the invad. ers alone, and the invaders proved the stronger. The great majority were pushed out into the wilds ot Wales. Here note the common au cesiry of the Scotch, the Irish and the Welsh, a common ancestry, the Celts. For 300 years constant war fare continued between the Welsh and the settlers of England; and tor hundreds of years longer the Welsh hated the English. In onr American Revolution to a man the Welsh fought the British Redcoats. One of our first U. S. Senators, Timothy Bloodwortb, was a native Welshman. Between Wales and Eogiand bitterness continued un til an English king decreed that ever afterwards the king's oldest son should be known nnd called the Prince of Wales, and this step was taken to appease the Welsh people. Perhaps the greatest living Welshman is Lloyd George, form, erly the Prime Minister and now a member of the House of Commons, in Parliament.' That movement in Western Eu rope known as the Crusaders, when religious frenzy seized the m-sses in a crazy attempt to wrest Jerusa lem and the Hoiy Land , from the Mohammedans, caused the Bible name John to become a popular name witb the Welsh Loter this simple natn: Tohn was slightly changed in spelling and became' Jones The name has sPo sp cial significeuce. Mr. Latta Ratledgesavs that in the early days in that section, giv. en names were never used. Beal was simply called Beal; if onlv one Jones, then he was simply Jones. But one wonders if Joseph Jones was the son of the pioneer preach er; and since Jones was a Welsh man and the Welsh were solidIv gainst the British, was the pioneer io.tbe American army? Perhaps in tbe Militia. No roster of mili tia soldiers has been found. Jones, Sr., could have fought under Co). Benjamin Cleveland at the battle of King’s Mountain, and be could have fought with General Green at Guiltord. Now we wish weknew, but we djn’t. The reason we don’t know is that their history was neg lected, forgotten, buried with them; and unless we gather tip tbe frag ments of religious history, preserve and transmit it to posterity, future generations will ask tbe same ques tions aia ask. Why did they let lbeit history perish witb the bodies of those who made history? CHAS. H. UTLEY. Hoover Gives 0. Ki To Price Control. Former President Herbert Hoo ver. appearing before the Senate BankiugCommittee at Washington, declared that wider government control ever all commodities to give added support to a selectiue system of price fixing to check inbationary movements and supplies of needed materials for tbe war effort has be come imperative with tbe entrace of the United Sta es into actual war efferts has become imperative with the- entrance of tbe United States into actual warfare. Testifying on tbe administra tion's price fixing bill in the light of bis experience as food administra. tor during the first world war. Mr Hoover submitted a six-point pro. gram to meet the problem of com modity supplies and prices which has been iaised by the shift of the nation from the limited area of pre paredness to tbe direct field of total emergency. Points in his program, some ot which are now in effort but need to be enlarged, he saic, were: t. Authority to make volnntarv agreements with trades and groups as to price, conservation and dis tribution 2. Authority to establish wise co-operative measures to bring a- bout tudustrial and civilian conser vation. 3. Authority to enforce regula tions against a minority who may not comply. 4. • Authority from time to time to fix floor and ceiling prices and margins in business transactions. 5. Authority fo r government buying and selling commodities. Authority in priorities and ra tioning. He declared, ' however, that be was opposed to the establishment of a licensing system over industry to carry out the orders of the de fense agencies, although he initiat ed such a system during the last war From his experience in this field, he said, he was convinced that it was “useless and vicious.” "The licensing powers I held dur ing the last war, covering only food and related commodities,” Mr. Hoover stated, "did not prove a useful thing. And the penalties were far too severe. It meant the death penalty for a man , and his family for stealing two dollars.” Land poster* for sale at Tha RacocdBfficfo $5 Anto Levy Plan Approved.

PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) ^ E W YORK.—Commentators and ^ war correspondents'are now re* calling the famous “Memorial to the Emperor,” supposedly written by r • v a B a r o n G i'Jap M em K am pf ichj Tanaka Recalled;Revealed in 1927, in A gsr. , .i„„ Step, was not a forgery, Japanese plans for world .conquest were formulated much in the manner of Adolf Hit ler’s blue print for homicide in “Mein Kampf.” Baron Tanaka died September 29, 1929, a few weeks after the fall of his cabinet, his premiership having lasted about two years. This department is supposed to deal only with the living, but breaks pace today to note the possibly his toric significance of the baron and his document—and the life story of the suave little man who died of high blood pressure, at 66, after many years of deep absorption in “sword romance," the Japanese equivalent of the blood and thunder pulp thrillers of our country. History may give him a nod in view of the fact that his do'cu- ment ticked off the later steps of Japanese aggression as neat ly as a pool-player calling his shots. The Japanese repeatedly have denounced it as a forgery. Whatever it was, it jumped the clock and told “the shape of things to come.” The first reference to the docu ment in this country, so far as this reporter could discover, was in pub- I lished quotations from the Russian • newspaper, Pravda, of November 5, ! 1931. Pravda did not reveal how it ■ had obtained its copy of the “Me- ■ morial,” but it flared it out as “a i startling revelation of the Japanese carefully prepared plan for world : conquest.” ! “Japan’s aggressive tendencies j will not end in China,” said the | Pravda article. “She has designs on the Philippines, the Malayan ar- i chipelago, Guam, Tahiti, Samoa and Australia. It presages a fight for a new division of the world, for it I is inseparably linked with conflict among imperialist nations for con- I trol of the Pacific.” The newspaper then quoted from ! the document: These Breda guns, captured from the Italians In Libya, are being reconditioned in Malaya for use against Jap invaders. During Wavell’s desert blitz a tremendous amount of Italian equipment was taken by the British. It has since been useful on other fronts, and will serve the allied cause again in Malaya. U. S.

INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT ■ True obesity is a constitutional disorder in which there is a com pulsory tendency to gain weight un less the intake of food and expendi ture of energy are kept under control aU of the time. In this condition, the body tissues have a greater tendency than normal to de posit fat. F o r t u n a te l y many people who 1 are overweight do not have this ab normal condition. During chUdhood, ; adolescence and early adult life, a high calorie, high vitamin, high pro tein diet containing adequate min erals is necessary for normal growth. At this period of life people are most active physically and need more calories. Thus they become accustomed to eating large amounts of food, are not satisfied with small er quantities. When they stop grow ing and go to work they are apt to be less active physically and require- less food. But they continue their usual high calorie diet and the Dr. Nathan S. Davis UI Fortify Hong Kong “If we intend to gain control over China, we must first erush the TTnited States. To capture China, we must also crush Man churia and Mongolia. In order to conquer the world, we must first conquer China. If we suc ceed in conquering China, the rest of the Asiatic countries and the South Sea countries will fear us and surrender to us.” | For understandable reasons, the Pravda story got scant attention in the Ameri- Press Discredited can press, TanakaMemorial; in v iew of Japs M arch O n! manSr Previ' ^ ous propa ganda stories issuing from this source and was, for the most part editorially dismissed as an effort to “cause dissension among friendly capitalistic nations.” But, American correspondents, digging into the story in the Far East, discovered that, in 1929, the “Memorial” had been examined by members of the American Council of the Institute of Pacific Relations, in Mukden. It was submitted to them by members of the entourage of the Chinese Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang. One of this delegation was reported to have said: “We pledge the full authen ticity of this document and we plead with you to understand that Japan has begun a pro gram of world aggression which inevitably must involve the United States.” So far as we can learn, news of Ihis incident was not published in this country until after the Pravda story. This, however, is not cer tain. It may have appeared in some American newspapers. This writer remembers a long article in a Brit ish newspaper of five or six years ago, the Manchester guardian, if memory serves, in which was cited documentary evidence of the validity of the document and pleaded for a re shaping of British policy in the Far East and the strengthening of the naval base at Singapore. On April 23, 1940, Rear Ad miral J. K. Taussig, retired, ap peared before the senate com mittee on naval affairs and in sisted on the validity of the Ta naka MemoriaL He begged for a consideration of Japanese re lations in this light, bnt the navy, however, repudiated his testimony. Pierre Van Paassen, in his recently published book, “This Day Alone,” reviews the history of the document, defends its authenticity and lannches In- • dignation against the civilized world for failing to heed it. I „ At a TJ. S. army airport, somewhere in the U. S., a ground crew is making adjustments to a string of 600-pound bombs before the missiles are loaded into a bombing plane for delivery at . . . ? Where U. S. Troops Are Meeting Japs Above is a view of the rice fields of Appart, on the northernmost tip of the island of Lnzon, which is the principal island of the. Philip pines. The Japanese were reported as succeeding in landing troops in this rough terrain, bnt met with stiff resistance from U. S. troops. Manila, on-this island, was the first major Jap objective.

Sometimes such a gain in weight does not come until the individual changes from hard manual labor to some less ardu ous type of work. Gains During Pregnancy. During pregnancy and while nurs ing their babies, women have to eat enough to nourish two and so eat much more than they did formerly. Then when the baby is weaned they continue on the high calorie diet. As they no' longer require the extra nourishment, they gain weight and lose their lovely girlish figures. The change of life in some 20 or 30 per cent of women so affects the balance between the various glands that their diet causes them to gain weight. It is relatively easy for those who are overweight because they eat mdre calories than they require, to reduce. Those who have the hered itary abnormal tendency to accumu late fat, water and salt find it much more difficult. Many believe that exercise, even violent exercise, is necessary if weight is to be lost.. Those who have never engaged in athletics or who are too old to en gage in them, consider passive ex ercise or massage indispensible. While exercise is good if started gradually and not carried to ex tremes weight can often be lost more easily and rapidly without it. Exer cise increases hunger and thirst and makes it more difficult to stick to a restricted diet and so harder to lose weight. Low Calorie Diet. A low calorie diet (1,000 to 1,200 calories) is absolutely necessary for weight reduction. Such a diet can often be best tolerated if a cracker, a glass of fruit juice, or of j skim milk is taken between meals. Thus low blood sugars that cause ravenous hunger are avoided. Any reducing diet must contain enough vitamins, minerals and proteins to satisfy the body requirements. It should contain one pint of skim milk, one egg, two ounces of fish, meat or fowl, three servings of vegetables (one of them raw) including pota toes, two servings of fruit (one of them raw) and one and one-half pat ties of butter. It should contain a minimum of fats, sugars, sweets and starches and the fluid intake should be decreased. To make it quantitively more satisfying, eat more meat, cheese and leafy vege tables may be taken. When you have thus lost enough, add to your reducing diet just enough to enable you to maintain the desired weight. If you go back to your old diet, you will again rap idly put on the pounds. “The constant drip will wear away the stone; the constant im perfection of nutrition, though this be relatively slight, will wear away the body.”—Sir Robert Mc- Carrison.

T HANKS to the war, Errol Flynn lost his chance to be Prince Charming at a huge debutante party in New York. Picture the scene as it was planned. A ccording to an nouncements, he was to be seated in a silver coach, which at midnight would rise from the orchestra pit. But the debutante can celled the party, feeling that it was not fitting to go through with it in war time. Hollywood’s station wagon bat talion, formed a few weeks ago to meet emergencies in time of war, is now being put through its paces, ac cording to the King’s men, the quartet of the Fibber McGee and Molly program. They are listed among the 200 members of the bat talion. Ginger Rogers will star in “The Major and the Minor,” a romantic comedy, as her first picture under her recently signed agreement with Paramount. It ought to be a swell GINGER ROGERS picture; its authors wrote “Hold Back the Dawn,” “Ninotchka” and “Ball of Fire.” Incidentally, Ginger has spent six years attempting to gain six pounds, and has finally achieved that goal. With practically all the other girls In Hollywood going in for very short hair, Claudette Colbert, who has worn, hers fairly short, will have the longest bob she’s ever worn in “The Palm Beach Story.” Her hair will fall to her shoulders, but she’ll keep her famous bangs. It’s a Preston Sturges picture, this new one, and Joel McCrea plays opposite her. — *— Once again Director Norman Taurog is looking for a baby. He’s the man who, eight years ago, con ducted the search for an infant who could mimic Maurice Cheva lier’s out-thrust lower lip—a search that brought Baby Le Roy to the screen. Later he was responsible for the casting of Jackie Cooper in “Skippy.” Now he seeks a year- old child who resembles Ray Mil- land, for “Mr. and Mrs. Cugat.” — * — As soon as the first word of Japan’s attack on Hawaii reached the United States the March of Time began preparing as its next release a comprehensive film story of how this country, in the last war, came through to final victory. Titled "Our America at War,” it ends by show ing that, as America won the last war through co-ordinated effort, so she will win this one. One night not so long ago Mickey Rooney was called to Hie telephone. It was Carmen Miranda — she’d heard that he was going to do an impersonation of her In “Babes on Broadway.” To make sure that it would be a good one, she arranged to coach him, and the result is the very funny burlesque of her that he does in the picture. — * — Cary Grant’s main idea, when he finished working in “Suspicion,” with Joan Fontaine, was to catch up on sleep. Said he hadn’t had a day or evening to himself since he started work in “My Favorite Wife,” more than a year ago; “Sus picion” was bis fifth picture in a row without a good long vacation. Maybe all those extra-curricular activities that we heard about were just rumors. Joan Blaine, who soon starts doubling between two air serials for a total of three broadcasts a day, vastly prefers radio to any other branch of show business. “Stage and film stars are so visibly beau tiful,” says she. “Their waists are thin, their eyelashes sweep alarm ingly.

Whitman—WWU Service.) Cleaning Bugs and Upholstery COILED carpets, rugs and uphol- story cap be cleaned by sham* pooing with soap jelly. Ordinary; soiling will come out easily, but oth er methods should be used for obsti nate and unusual, stains. These may call for professional work. Fur ther, shampooing should be applied only to fabrics of which the colors1 are fast. The jelly is made of chips or flakes of pure and mild soap; the kind of soap that is used for fine launder ing. Four cups are put in a bowl or wide-mouthed jar, and one cup of water is added. The jelly will form within an hour. A portion of the jelly is put into a mixing bowl and beaten with an egg-beater, which will raise suds as stiff as whipped cream. Using a soft brush, jelly is worked on the fabric in a space 12 inches or so across. After a few minutes for the loosening of the dirt, the space is wiped wifi) a cloth damp with clear water, and with a stiffer brush, the nap is brushed in its proper direction. An adjoin ing space should then be cleaned.- The suds are so dry that, upholstery! fabric will not be soaked, as would be the case with soapsuds as usually; used. After cleaning, the fabric should be quickly dried. A rug can; be supported on boxes and chairs,' so that air can iget at the back as1 well as the front. Mounting Maps There have been few times when maps have been studied to the ex-; tent that they now are; maps of Eu rope, Africa, the Near and Far East, as well as the parts of the world not at present involved in war. For a map to be useful, it should be. mounted on a stiff support. One- eighth plywood, is excellent. The first step in mounting is to lay the map on the plywood, and to mark the positions of the four corners. The plywood is then given a ^oat of shellac on both sides and on the edges. When this is dry, another coat of shellac is applied, the map is rolled up, and one of its ends is laid down with the comers on the marks. With the worker leaning over the board, the rest of the map is then thrown over the head, to be supported by it. The rest of the map is then quickly laid on the damp shellac, and smoothed with the two hands, which are free. As soon as the map is down, it should be gone over with a stiff brush, working from the center toward the edges, to push out air bubbles that may have been caught. Should any remain, they can be disposed of through a pin hole in the paper in the center of the bulge. Room Decoration Question: A study used by four people has a white ceiling; walls are light blue, and window frames are light yellow. Walls and ceiling are dirty and should be done over. The room is 11 feet square. In re decorating, what colors would make the room appear larger? Answer: A light room will seem larger than if finished in dark col ors. Had I your problem I should use one single light color for every thing; ceiling and woodwork as well as walls. My choice would be light ivory or a pastel shade. Colors to relieve the monotony could be in curtains and upholstery. Floor Cleaning Question: Good oak floors are dis colored and revamished. How can I clean them and make them light? How can I clean stair treads? Sand ing would be expensive. Answer: At a hardware store you can get an alkali powder to be mixed with water that will take off the varnish Imd the discolorations. Directions on the label of the box should be carefully followed. Floor Finish Question: What would make a good finish for a newly sanded oak floor? We dislike varnish. Answer: Use a treatment called a seal, which soaks into the wood and becomes part of the surface, rather than lying on it. Any good paint, store should have a sealing liquid. If you want to, you can finish it with wax. White Paint on Red Question: How can I give a white finish to "a red seat without the red coming through? Answer: Take off all present fin ish with paint remover, which will also take out much of the red. The remainder can be sealed in with one or two coats of aluminum paint, to be finished with white enamel. Alcohol Stain Question: What will remove white spots left on my ^walnut bed bn spilled alcohol?Answer: Rub with camphorated oil, or use scratchless cleaning port - der moistened with household- oil, rubbed on with your finger tip. Removing Verdigris \ ' Question: What will remove verdi gris from brass pipes and bathroom fixtures?Answer: Verdigris can be taken off with household ammonia or by applying a paste ^nade with sal am moniac and water. Green stains on enameled plumbing fixtures can be removed Iqr rubbing with scratch- less cleaning powder moistened with kerosene, or with a powder for cleaning porcelain that can be had at dime store; Be sure to obtain a “scratchless” type of cleaning pow der, Learn to Sew if Your Budget \ Is limited—It’s Fun, Toojl By CHEBIE NICHOLAS ’ I 'tuS year the fashion picture is literally packed with drama. What with a whirl of midwinter fes tivities and gala occasions in full swing one is almost sure to yearn for more than the usual amount of clothes glamour. The good news is that, by making sewing your hob by, you can easily manage to have an enchanting array without suffer ing a single budget twinge. Simply pick the pattern that measures up to your idea of a dream dress, get your material in hand and then dash off to your nearest local sewing center where expert help is cheerfully given in sewing short cuts and fashion tricks, at little or no expense. ' Fabric counters are literally bub bling over with an endless display of smart, inexpensive rayon jerseys, tweedy weaves that tailor beauti fully, gorgeous taffetas and moires that look twice as expensive as they really are; velveteens in alluring pastel and brilliant jewel-toned col ors; handsome laces of every type from sheer to the new linen effects, which, for the most part, can be had for under a dollar a yard. This year a merry war is going on between traditional black-and-white and lush, ravishing colors like fuchsia, tur quoise, black plum, alarm red, to paz, gold and beige, Kelly green and seafoam tones and tints. For the twilight hour and its flat tering candlelight, there’s romantic elegance needed, and ,you will be equal to the occasion if you make a dinner dress which combines a long- sleeved, front-buttoned, long-torso basque top- of black cotton lace' with a shirred wide-spreading rayon moire skirt which repeats the black lace in a hip border inset after the manner of the gown which the fig ure seated in (he foreground is wearing. { And again your evening splendor^ will be definitely established in a, mist-blue jersey dress that moldsi and tapers to your form in draped! and flowing lines like those of the- gown shown to the right in the trio of evening modes pictured above.1 Drapery treatments are very im portant and are outstanding this’ season. They are ever so easy to manipulate, even for the inexperi-: enced, with the aid of a new molded', to-you thermo-plastic dress forauj With an exact reproduction of you*| figure before you, it requires no: special gift to drape the folds of d| material in a way that will most ef*1 fectively dramatize your silhouette,; Gay and inexpensive materials make the luxurious looking dinner dress centered in the group above. There is style distinction reflected in the chrome yellow velveteen jacket that hangs with easy grace from broad-looking shoulders encrusted with importantly new embroidered motifs that are repeated on the pock ets. This jacket would be lovely with a candle-slim- forest green crepe floor-length skirt. Believe it or not, the embroidered motifs that so defi nitely enhance this jacket were, stitched up in practically no time on a modem sewing machine, and the finished job loolm for all the world like fine handwork. The fashion suggestions above are destined to turn your “date” into! a successful drama, and they will inspire repeat performances in the1 future. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) White Fur I Rain Now Calls for Gay Fashion Parade Away with somber attire on a rainy day! No longer are Ieaden-' cast skies, downpours of rain' and' muddy streets a sign that one must; match the somberness of the scene with clothes equally depressing. Ac cording to the new theory, a rainy day is just the time to come out in bright array. In fact, rainy days are turning into cheerful events. There are gay new capes, fitted coats and trench model coats, some in white, some in blue and, most ex citing of all, those in bright red rainproof transparencies or proc essed cloth, if you prefer. You can get red or white boots to match. There’s style and charm, too, in the new processed black satin rain coats that are fashioned with smart details and given a glamour touch, in that the newest out are fashioned with jeweled buttons. In keeping with the vogue for “winter white,” this season, comes the prediction from furriers that snow white lamb will prove one of the most popular furs of the season. The young set is “rushing" the idea. It’s a treat to the eye to see young girls wearing coats like the one pictured.' These coats are strik ingly new, and they top the now-so- modish white jersey “date” dresses to perfection. Magazine Tells What the College Girl Is Wearing According to a new women’s mag-: azine: CoRege co-eds are braiding their hair in “country cousin” style. Earrings are being worn with the braids. Sxfy inch pearls worn on “Sloppy Joe” cardigans are “tops” every where. Cowboy boots, plaid sweaters, lime yellow shirts, corduroy jack ets, the “V” neck sweater and knee length argyle, plaid socks also storm the American campus scene. For the Young ' Take yards and yards of bright red net. Fashion this into a IuU skirt. Top this with a snug-fitting' bodice made of jersey in matching red.

For the first time in a number ot vears we didn’t see a drunken man on the streets during the holiday season. To all those who subscribed for or renewed their subscriptions to The Record during the holidays, we wish to extend our thanks. To those who failed to do so, will say that we have many receipts left and trust that they will call or send us their renewals as early as possible.

She is unwilling to inform her CIiildren1 now pursuing careers in other cities, for fear the news will disturb them. Bow. ever, she plans a last family reunion and invites edcb of her four children * * Installment 3 Dan, as usual, had written a long and rambling letter. AU the town gossip was listed. “Old Lady Cilden died. Ninety-two she was. Se had a big funeral and the Gazette ran a swell editorial on the front page. And Hannah CantweU finally married that traveling man she’s been sniping for these last ten years. Mom is going to miss handling their letters. It used to give her some thing to talk about for days. Greg Henderson and MoUy have busted up again. She’s talking about a di vorce, but nobody takes it seriously. Mountain Creek’s idea of marriage is to stick together and fight it out. And speaking of marriage, if you happen to get tired of HoUywood one of these days, you stiU have that op tion on me.” SaUy mopped her eyes, shame facedly, like a child, on the back of her hand. Odd that Dan’s casuaUy affectionate letter could move her so deeply, could pierce her with such IoneUness and discontent. She read her mother’s letter wist- fuUy. It would be nice to go home for Christmas, she thought, suddenly weary of HoUywood’s perpetual trop ic charm. Christmas in Mountain Creek would be white, she remem bered. The pine needles would be glazed with ice. There would be skating on HaUam Lake, bobsled ding on Ganby HiU. Christmas in Mountain Credc would be brisk and neighborly and intimate. The desk clerk shriUed across the lobby. “Phone for you, Miss Shan non.” It was a man’s voice. “SaUy Shan non? This is Mort Meyers.” “Yes, Mr. Meyers?” Mort Mey ers, of Super Pictures. “We’re starting work on ‘Small Town’ next week. There might be a bit for you there. Not just ordina ry extra stuff. If you’U drop around tomorrow—” Breathlessly, “Oh, yes, Mr. Mey ers!”A voice behind her rasped the si lence with steel-edged accents. “Got a caU, kid?” It was Moma Dunlap, another em bryo box-office attraction. SaUy nod ded with rapture. “That was Mort Meyers,” she babbled. “They’re testing for ‘SmaU Town’ and he thinks there might be a bit for me.” Moma’s smile chilled. “Watch that bird,” she cautioned. SaUy became immediately defen sive. “It was wonderful of him to remember and caU me." “Now look here, kid,” Moma’s sharp face was anxious. “It’s none of my business, and therefore I can discuss it largely. That guy’s a wolf. He eats Uttle girls up. Espe- ciaUy Uttle girls from hick towns. If he’s got a bit for you, there’U be plenty of twine attached.• * • The next day SaUy kept remem bering Mor.ia’s vehement tirade. “Look here,” he was saying per suasively, “a guy like me could do a lot for a Uttle gal like you—” But what were Moma’s words— "plenty of twine attached” ? “What are you doing this week end?” Before she could reply he went on: “Maybe we could take a Uttle drive through the country. We could have dinner at the Prairie Dog and maybe dance later on?” . She heard herself saying, “Why, that’d be lovely.”“Pity we haven’t time to motor to Palm Springs. But maybe over Christmas — ever been to Palm Springs?” She turned upon him a smfle daz zling in its radiance. “I’ve never been to Palm Springs,” she admit ted. “But I’d love to go—some time.”“Would Christmas do?” SaUy did not look at his mouth.“Christmas,” she said calmly, “would be deUghtful.”• * * Sally did not answer her letters that night. She could not face her mother or Dan, even by so remote a medium as notepaper. She tossed in restless dreams where a man with sHppery eyes was inviting her home to Mountain Creek for. Christ mas and a taU boy with freckles was offering her the best ingenue part of the season. And aU she could say in reply was, “Maybe next Christ mas—”« • • “And,” said Ma Shannon firmly, “I want a Star of Bethlehem. For the top of the tree.”Dan Davis fished into, a large box of electrical ornaments. “Looks like this is going to be a big Christmas.” "Biggest in my life,”- said Ma proudly. “Just the way it used to be when the Big Do.c was aUve. AU the youngsters home—turkey with chestnut filling—sweet potatoes and corn and mashed potatoes and giblet gravy and hot mince pie with hard sauce. A Christmas tree with candy canes and tinsel and popcorn and a star.” Ma’s eyes grew moist and she blundered into ber handbag, to cover her aching tenderness. “Hey!

In case —well—just in case—” “My grandmother was Irish,” Dan said soberly, “and she always did that. Said it was to welcome the Christ Child.” “It’s more than that,” Ma snapped. “It’s to welcome anybody that’s got no place to go on Christ mas Eve. Many’s the night the Big Doc and me put up tramps for Christmas Eve. There’s still lots of people can’t find room at the inn.” Dan said he’d cut a Christmas tree for her in the next few days. “You’re a good boy, Danny,” Ma reached up and.ruffled the untidy sandy hair. “I’d make a good son-in-law,” he grinned shamelessly. “If only Sally had the sense she was bom with.” Ma’s mouth was grim. “What does she expect to find in Hollywood that she won’t find here in Mountain Creek — except money, of course?” Dan’s eagerness excused Sally. “She’s so pretty, Ma,” he said wist fully. “And she’s always wanted to be an actress, ever since she got that swell write-up for being in the high school play.” “We’ve got to be patient with Sal ly,” said Ma. “She’s like her fa ther. She gets notions and she’s got to find her way out of them. One of these days she’ll get good and tired of Hollywood, of hanging on and being lonesome and away from home. “I wrote to her,” Dan smiled qui etly, “about coming home for Christ mas, I mean. I thought maybe— maybe this time she wouldn’t go back again if I—if I—” “Maybe she won’t!” Ma’s tones were hopeful. "Sally’s not like Lyd ia, you know. Lydia’s smart and sharp and, well, a little hard. Ken neth is like that, too. But Robert, he was always a frightened little boy. And Sally—Sally’s the same. They’re babies. They’re weaker than the others. We have to be pa tient with weak people. * * • Ma Shannon surveyed her shabby house with pardonable pride. It throbbed with the spirit of Christ mas.Every curtain had been washed, -ironed and rehung at windows that sparkled like crystal. Ma had raced her grudging heart in a superhuman effort to make the little house as lovely and as welcoming as it could be. Dan was coming to trim the Christmas tree and to help move some of the heavy furniture upstairs. Each of the rooms would be as the children remembered it. Ma had all her Christmas pres-, ents wrapped and ready. She had thought with great care on the prob lem of dividing, her meager little treasures among her four children.^ ' The mahogany highboy for Ken neth, of course. Kenneth knew all about antiques and periods and de signers. So the highboy stood in his mother’s room, gaudily ribboned and tagged-. The family silver for Lydia; what there was Irft of it; the heavy water pitcher, the graceful bread tray, the quaint old butter dish, all wrapped in bright tissur to be placed 'under the tree. His father’s beloved library for Robert, to whom the printed word was a song sweeter than the angels sing. Many treasured old favorites and a few really good first edi tions.The patchwork quilt, of course, for Sally. And some chipped china, fragile and transparent. And the little willow rocker she had always . loved. Ma added, as an after- i thought, the faded old sampler of the Lord’s Prayer in its dull mr.ple frame. 'Where could Dan be? Ma glared at the hoarse-voiced old clock and fretted with impatience. Up the steep hill below the house floated the sound of a motor in dire distress. Heedless of her pounding heart, Ma rushed to the door, u Dan was late because he had brought someone up from town— The engine coughed pitifully, wheezed to a stop and subsided with strange clankings and grunts. But Dan was alone. Dan piled package after package on the scrubbed kitchen table. “From Mom, and Aimt Millie, and the butcher, and some of the folks down town. And these”—pointing to two bulky manila-swathed boxes —“these came in the mail.” "New York and Baltimore,” mused Ma. “I guess maybe Lydia and Robert didn’t want to be both ered carting them here by train.” Dan’s face was wooden as he tossed three letters on the table. “These came in, too.” He turned away awkwardly. Ma’s lips thinned to a sharp blue line. One by one she ripped open the envelopes. Then her wide, pan ic-haunted eyes turned .to Dan. “They can’t make it,” she said flatly. “Lydia, Robert, Kenneth. Not this Christmas, anyway. They say,” she laughed sharply, an ugly, mirth less laugh,, “they say maybe next Christmas. But Danny,” her voice shrilled suddenly, . “maybe next Christmas might be too late.” “There’s always Sally,” Dan re minded. Ma beamed through hurt tears. “Why, of course,” , she said. “There’s always Sally I”* * * Christmas Eve had finally come CO Mountain Creek, not in the bright unseasonable guise that had adorned December for the last .few weeks, but unexpectedly chill. A discour aged sun intermittently pried through heavy clouds, and the air was still with that leaden silence that walks before a storm. “Going to have a white Christ mas after all,” Ma Shannon confided to the Big Doc’s picture hanging on the wall. Ma found herself talking to that picture a lot these lonely days. The picture returned a wise, un derstanding stare. , Ma took the three 'worn letters from her apron pocket and reread them for the hundredth time. “They’d all be home for Christ mas,” she explained once more to her husband’s photograph, “oniy, well, you see how things are. Lydia says her boss went and invited scads of people to the house for the holi days. His wife’s an invalid, not ex pected to last long, either. So Lyd ia’s got to take care of things.” Ma was pathetically anxious that the Doc understand. “He depends on Lydia a lot, you know.” Ma brushed off a tear. “We all get lonely at Christmas, don’t we? And we' can’t expect Lydia to drop a good job like that just to run home for a. few days. “And Kenneth’s tied up at that clinic. We all have to pay for suc cess one way or another, Kit. Re member how we couldn’t go on a honeymoon because Mrs. Berger was going to have a baby and you were afraid to leave her? That’s the way it is with doctors, I guess. Though it would have been nice to have Kenneth home, and the baby, too. She’s a sweet little thing, Kit. Spoiled, of cou’rse, but I guess all only children get spoiled. I-don’t like Ken’s wife much. She’s sort of standoffish and snobby, but that’f because they have so much money And they seem happy togetl er.” TO BE CONTlNUtC IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S U N D A Y I C H O O L L esson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for January 11 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE INFANCY AND BOYHOOD OF JESUS LESSON TEXT—Luke 2:23-35. 39. 40. COIDEN TEXT—Jesus increased In wisdom and Stature, and In favor with God and man.—Luke 2:52. '4Nobody knows wbat a boy is worth.And the world must wait to see;For every man In an honored placeIs a boy that used to be." Jesus was “only a boy” as He grew through infancy and childhood, but in that baby and that boy rest ed all the hopes of mankind. While He was not just like any other boy, yet His growth and development were normal, and we may learn much that will enable us to help the boy in our home, in our block, or in our church. The mother of Jesus, in fulfill ment of the law . of her people, on the eighth day identified Him with the nation (Luke 2:21), and then at the end of 40 days brought Him, with her humble sacrifice, to pre sent Him to the Lord. There a beautiful and prophetic scene took place as the Holy Spirit revealed to godly old Simeon His L Complete Salvation—in a Baby (w . 25-35). The Holy Spirit (not yet come as the indwelling presence in believers’ hearts) had come upon Simeon, a man right with God and with a deep longing in his heart for the coming of the Messiah—“the consolation of Israel.” He was assured of living until that day, and now as he waited in the temple the babe who fulfilled that promise was laid in his arms. He blessed God as he broke forth in praise and prophetic utterance. Note the full conception of the work of the Redeemer—deliverance from bondage and fear of death, light to the Gentiles and glory to Israel, a stone of stumbling but also of rising again. A revealer of the hearts of men—yes, and One whose sacrifi cial death would pierce the heart of His mother. One is glad that Simeon and Anna (v. 36) and “them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem” saw in Mary’s infant son the Son of God incarnate, for round about was un belief (John 1:11), hatred (Matt. 2:16), and indifference (Matt. 2:4, 5). Is it not so today? Christmas has just been celebrated. How many saw the babe in the manger as Je sus the Saviour? The scene changes—the little fam ily is back in Nazareth in the hum ble home—and there we see H- Perfect Development in a Boy (w . 39, 40). The period from infancy to ac countability (12 years) is summed up in the full-orbed growth of 'the boy Jesus described in verse 40. The one business of every child from birth to 12, or somewhere around there, until the period of ado lescence, is to grow without any sense of responsibility except obedi ence to authority; and obedience in the case of a child is always in or der to give the child perfect free dom from’everything else, without any sense of responsibility. That is the story of Jesus: He grew!” (G. Campbell Morgan). Growth is, first of all, physical. Jesus stands by the side of every boy and girl as the body grows from babyhood to maturity, for He too knew that experience. We may talk to Him as an understanding friend about the physical needs and prob lems of our children. Let us re member that here, as elsewhere in Scripture, the physical body is rec ognized as important. Mentally, He experienced growth. The strange, apocryphal tales about the child Jesus, representing Him as a man of mature wisdom in a child’s* body, do not compare even remote ly with-the beautiful naturalness of a keen-minded boy asking questions, observing, always learning.* Boys and girls, you may talk with confi dence to Him about your lessons, your growing interest in this excit ing world of ours, of your need for guidance in learning. Be sure that He will understand. ’ The crowning touch upon the growing personality of the child is ffie spiritual. We read of Jesus that “the grace of God was upon him.” “Grace,” says Dr. Morgan, “is first, that which delights and charms. Grace, secondly, is desire to impart to others the things that make them happy. .Grace, finally, is the ac tivity that does this at all costs.” A gracious child is an altogether de Ughtful being; and when that gra ciousness is the result of the “grace of God” upon him, it is surpassingly lovely, for it makes him ChristUke,. even in the days' of childhood. GVeat and grave has been the neglect of the spiritual life of chil dren for whom much has been done physically and mentaUy. Christian parents must not make that mistake —and they, need not, for the Lord Jesus here too stands ready to coun sel, guide, encourage, and strength en them in every good purpose and deed.

THE DAVIE RECORD, i* “Yesterday’s Wife” A serious national problem, pecu liar to this post-repeal age, is that of drinking mothers, wives, and- daughters.Alcoholism among women was never a problem in former days. . ThroughoutAmericanhistory-until 1933—women were more like the fol lowers of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Un ion ; th e y a b stained them selves and they tried by persua sion, religion, and legislation to keep alcohol away from their'menfolk. Even today, the W. C. T. U., the g reat w om en’s organizations, the churches are proof that most women still are not drinkers. Yet, these groups are concerned over the increase in women drink ers, such as that reported in a Chi cago newspaper in mid-1941. The secretary of the .Illinois Hu mane Society reported more drink ing among women than for 40 years. The director said: ‘‘We’ve more trouble than we ever had with wom en neglecting their families.” This one society reported seven out of IS court cases where mothers preferred drinking to looking after their families, four were alcoholics and were placed in institutions. Another report, from a widely- known alcoholism institute, says that addiction is more prevalent among house wives and mothers than among career women. The average age of the feminine alcoholic was given as a little over forty years. The report reads: ‘‘The women in business or a profession can not af ford to drink to excess . . . Soon er or later their economic loss re sults. On the oth er hand Uie fam ily of the married woman who drinks usually conspire to con ceal her weak ness from the outside world. At first her alcoholic habits are not ap parent, as she drinks during the day when her husband is at work, her children at school. Eventually, as she is no longer able to hide the aft er effect of intoxication behind her plea of headache or illness, her fam ily is ashamed and guards her se cret more closely than ever."

To aid the victims of warfare being waged upon America and her island possessions, the American Red Cross has issued an appeal tor a $50,'000.000 war fund, Chairman Norman H. Davis announced from the national headquar ters in Washington. Mr. Davis urged men, women and children to give to this mercy fund through their local Red Cross Chap ters. These funds will support the Chapter’s war work with the families of men in the military services, as well as the broad relief program of the national Red Cross. President Roosevelt, who is presi dent of the American Red Cross, is sued a proclamation urging all citizens to give to the Red Cross war fund. In launching the appeal, OhnIsnM Davis said: "There are millions of our cMsona who desire today to demonstrate their will to vietory over the enemy. Not all can be In the armed forces, and net all can volunteer their services for IinmsnitaHan work; hut all c m volun teer their dollars to arm the Bed Croaa to be their representative at the scene of battle and distress: "Today is the day to demonstrate our high morale, our unity, otir deter mination not alone to support our President and our fighting men at the front, but also to insure to our wound ed, homeless and suffering fellow citi zens In our Pacific Islands that we stand one hundred per cent ready to aid them through the Red Cross."

Jonas, Lincolnton1 national committeeman o f th e North Carolina Republicans, one of the most po ular men in western Carolina in either partv, is being talked as the most likely candidate of the Republicans to represent the new iotb district in Congress. The elections will be he'd in 1942. Jonas has served ip Congress and knows the way around Washing ton. He is one of the most capable men in that entire section and even though the new 10th district was ffi gerrymandered by the Democrats to make sure that a Democrat would be elected, things may go awrv for them—especially should Jonas be the G O. P. candidate Cam Morrison, of Charlotte, who served a term as governor, and went to the United States Senate by virtue of appointment at the hands of Governor O. Max Gard ner of Shelby, has annonnced he is ItibLndidate for the Democratic no mination It will be recalled that Gardner was defeated for the Dem ocratic nomination for governor in 1920 by Morrison by around 300 votes. Gardner then waited eight years and ran again, winning with- OUt serious opposition. With Morrison in the Senate and Gardner in the governor’s office, things began to shape up political ly with Gardner, Morrison and Clyde Hoey forming a triumvirate that became the directing bead of the Democratic Dartv in North Ca rolina. They made and unmade governors, congressmen and the like. The three men became fast personal and political friends Now Morrison wants the seat in Congress from the new 10th dis trict The Hoey and Gardner in fluence may win the nomination for him. The new district is composed of Mecklenburg. Lincoln, Catawba, Burke, Mitchell and Avery coun ties. The sage of Mecklenburg be. came 72 years of age on October 5. So, things are shaping once again inside the Democratic ranks. Mor rison is to seek the totb district seat and CIydeHoey is expected , to go after the seat in the United States Senate held (by Reynolds in the 1942 elections. Two members of that old triumvirate will be once a gain candidates and they are hoping the influence of each will help both to win. But they are not taking Charley Jonas into consideration. The Lin- colnton dynamo would win over Cam Morrison, is the opinion of party leaders of both Democratic and Republican ranks from that section. They are fearing be will become the Republican nominee. Hamilton Jones, another Charlotte politico-Iawver, may upset the Mor rison apple cart for he wants to go to Congress, too. He hopes to beat Morrison in the primary. No matter who wins the Demo cratic nomination, he will be facing the greatest fight of his life in the general election if Charley Jonas decides to make the race. Jonas is a seasoned campaigner; he is popu. Iar with everybody; he has never made any political enemies—nor any other kind so far as we know —and would make an ideal con gressman. So stick a pin right here. If Jouas runs tLe Tar Heel congressional family will not be 100 per cent Democratic—they say. Church Burns.

I picture in my mind today Reveals a read so dear. Where as a Child I used to play Withoat a sigh or fear. And makes me long to taka a walk Down to the old home place. And with departed loved talk. And with mi playmates race. I’ve traveled down the old road home So many, many times. And often think I’d like to roam ., . Back to those sunny climes, Arid see the dogwood and the pine. The flowers gay and bright. And walk beside the friends of mine That time has hid from sight" Along this dear old country road The farmers came aud went. And underneath a heavy load Their backs were often bent: Bot still they whistled some gay tune Or sang an old time song While resting ’neatb shade at noon,. Or as they walked alond. And lovers, too. went side by side Along this pieasant road. Where they no longer had to hide The iove they then bestowed; And here, perhaps, it was they chose Each for a mate in life, Which brought their courtship to a close And they were man and wife. But many changes bave been made As years bave come and gone; The placei where we children played In road or field, or lawn Don’t look today as they did then. The old road isn’t there; The boys are gone, likewise the men. Whose joys I used to share. Eh Is of Drunkenness. Benjamin Franklin said some thing many years ago that is still just as true and vital as the day he said it He said: “Some of the do mestic evils of drunkenness are houses without windows, gardens without fences, fields without til Iage, barns without roofs, children without clothing, principle, morals, or manners. Temperance puts wood on the fire, meals iu the bar- rels, flour in the tub, money in the purse, credit in the country, con tentment in the house, clothes on the children, vigor in the body, in telligence in the brain, and spirit in tbe whole constitution.” —Ex: Bessie And The Draftee (Chicago Sun) The Selective Service Act has brought to light Wisconsin’s fine concern over tbe cattle within her borders. We learn that desertion of a milk cow is punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both. And so James Montgom.ry of the IndIewiId Inn, near Sawyer, is up against it; he has no one with whom to leave Bessie, a cow. A canvass of neighbors brings out tbe regrettable fact that nobody seems to want. Bessie. True, she gives milk, but, as the poet puts it, she is “uncertain, coy and bard to please.” And it appears that in still other ways Bessie falls short of tbe Tigid standards of good society among miicb cows. In farm parlance, she is an ornery critter; she doesn’t like to be milk ed, she invariably kicks over tbe bucket when it is about. filled, she uses her tail with effect as a whip, she definitely has B. 0 . and hali tosis. Now James cannot, under 'the law, take Bessie out of the state and unload her vices on a stranger. He is not even permitted to pay Bessie a sort of alimony during the dura tion of the war by boarding her ont. -Looks as though the Army will have take Bessie, too. Sugar Crop Bought.

Maybe Robert’s got something neither you nor I could ever , see, Kit. .I’m glad I sent him that money. He said he was down to his last penny. That’s the trouble with children, Kit, they grow up and we lose track of them. I don’t know anything about the youngsters, what they think, what they do, whether they’re sick or well, or anything.

But—Ma’s heart stopped—save for Sim in his moth- eaten bearskin coat and worn beav er earmuffs—the taxi was empty. Sim erupted from the driver’s seat and lumbered up the front steps. “Got a telegram for you, Ma,” he bellowed at the top of his powerful lungs. “M’wife made me tote it * right up in case it’s important.’ The telegram burned Ma’s fingers like a sharp flame.

The first few flakes were great, white, leisurely things, floating carelessly through the heavy air, beautiful isolated stars of frozen loveliness. Ma stood at her parlor window and watched the winding road dis appear under the assault of the bliz zard. . Darkness swooped down from the hills on a heavy wing. Soon the road was a smoky blur in the shad ows, and the trees were gaunt ghosts wrestling with invisible giants. Ma turned from the window and care fully tended the fire. “Wonder if the road’ll be closed oft? ” she thought bitterly. “Not that it much matters. Only Dan DID say he’d’ come up on Christmas. It would be nice to have somebody in on Christmas.” She plodded into the kitchen for a lonely meal. The icebox was piled with food, and Ma made a wry face at it. “Waste,” she sniffed, “and: with hungry people walking’ the streets!” She made a cheerless supper, of odds and ends of leftovers, washed down tastelessly with a cup.ofaturdy- tea. The clock in the parlor coughed apologetically, then, spat out nine wheezing strokes. Ma turned out-the lamp and crept into the big, thread-. bare chair before the fireplace, racked in an abandonment of grief and loneliness. How long she. sat there she did not know, could never have told. Suddenly Ma sat upright. Was that a step on the porch? Was that a knocking at the door? She Iis- • tened again. Yes, it was. Maybe— maybe toe Children had changed their minds after all. Maybe it was Man. Maybe— f • She raced across the room, franti cally wrenched toe knob and flung open toe door. The candles flared suddenly in the rush of cold wind, until toe doirway was haloed with light. A man stood apologetically on the threshold, a complete stranger. He was a young man. And he was shabby and pitiful in the swirling of . SYNOPSIS cles of her rival. In Chicago, Kenneth, successful doctor, permits his-spoiled wife to dissuade him from making the trip. In Baltimore, Robert, penniless writer, has Christmas plans which may make the publication of his book possible.

Ma faces Ow prospect of her last Christmas alone * # , ’ The woman-sobbed. “A baby is coming,’' he told Ma. snowflakes out there in toe dark.- In one swift second, Ma noted that his coat was a thin and sleazy Spring model, utterly unsuited to turning the edge of .such .bitter cold. He twisted a ragged hgt in his glove- less hands. “I saw your lights. Ma’am,” he said hurriedly. “Is there—is there a man in toe house?” “I’m alone,” Ma admitted rashly. “But come in, man. You’ll freeze out there in that miserable coat. Come in, I say.” “I’ve got to have help. Tve got to have help right away.” His face was gray with cold and terror. 4Ts there another bouse .up the road? My wife—” “This is toe only house on the mountain side,” Ma snapped. _ “But I’ve got to have help. My wife—” . “Your fwife? Out in a night like this? Good heavens, man, you must be out of your mind. Where is she?” . “She’s—down the road.” The man was frantic with anxiety. “She’s sick. I’ve got to get help. Haveyou a phone,?”- Ma was sqftirming into her shabby coat, jamming her shapeless old hat down over her eyes, drawing on; a darned Woolen scarf and-mittens. “I haven’t got a phone. We’ll just have to go out and bring her in our selves, that’s all. Where is she?” “In the barn at the first torn down toe road. We’ve got to hurry, I tell you.” “Here!” Ma thrust a lantern into his blue, cracked hands. She opened toe door and they flung themselves out into the swirling snow. “What’s the matter with-her? ” The : .wind snatched i the answer from his lips. Ma clutched at his’ arm and together they plunged for ward into toe storm. They stumbled through foe - dark ness, foe lantern casting only a dim thread Of JigHt' before them.

Our car broke, down and we fried to get to a house. It’s—” , Ma cut him short. “Time to tell me that later on.” She turned to the woman. 44The. house is less than a quarter, of a ihiie, off.

Wouldn’t be the first time a baby was bora In a stable—and on Christmas Eve at that. But no use staying here if we can make the house. Get her on toe other side,” she commanded. The journey back to toe house was endless. The wind had grown stronger, and the snow swirled in a suffocating blanket about the slow- moving trio. At every few feet they would stop to give the women a breathing spell, then they would plunge forward once more. . When foe old familiar pain had taken permanent lodging in Ma’s breast, and it did not seem that she could stagger forward a single step more, the low flicking candles in the window shot a dim light through toe storm. “Last lap,” Ma gasped. The shabby little parlor had never reached out such welcoming arms. 44Pat Her on the sofa,” Ma or dered, “and get her out of those clothes. Better not try to get her upstairs. Warmer, and more con venient here.” She smiled wryly. “This is a stylish baby. It’s going to be born in a parlor.” Hot water — sheets — antiseptic —Ma was everywhere, frantically checking toe necessary supplies. In toe kitchen, .alone for a moment, she leaned against foe wall, her hand to her heart, and saw the homely kitchen furnishings reel before her blurred eyes. 44Oh, dear Lord,” she prayed, “not -yet. ,I’m not ready. There’s a baby coming—” - The agonizing vise about her chest slowly eased, foe room snapped back into focus, - Ma brushed the back of her hand across her blue lips, blinked furiously and muttered, 44Thanks." Then she snatched foe kettle from foe stove and plodded parlorward. The woman on foe sofa smiled -wanly; In fop. firelight her face was thin and pinched but young and lovely and unafraid.

The old dock cleared its throat and struck. At toe second stroke, a -bitter cry. pierced toe room.

JOHN THE BAPTIST AND JESUS LESSON TEXT—Luke 3:1-4, 15-17, 21. 22. COLDEN TEXT-Thou art my beloved Son; In thee I am well pleased.—Luke 3:22. V (TOBECONTlNVtD) 44A reed shaken with foe wind?” No. 44A man clothed in soft rai ment?” No. “A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my mes senger before toy face. . . . Verily I say Unto you, Among them that are bom of women-there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.” Such was foe testimony of Jesus (Matt. 11:7-11) about foe man who in our lesson of today bears his tes timony concerning Jesus. I. John: the Preacher of Repent ance (w . 1-3). The times in which a man lives will often make or break him. If times are dark and difficult most men submit to foe burden of foe day without protest or effort. But not so with John. The period in which he lived is graphically brought before us as we consider foe names of civil and religious leaders mentioned in verses I and 2. Tiberius Caesar, foe emperor, was virtual dictator, “talented, ambitious, cruel, licen tious, infamous, inhuman” (Van Doren). Pilate was foe governor of Judea, who later condemned Jesus to foe cross. Herod was a seducer and murderer. Annas and Caiaphas shared the infamy into which the priesthood had fallen. God needed a man with a flam ing message of judgment, and He had him ready out in foe wilder ness, far from decadent Rome and spiritually dead Jerusalem. Upon this man John-came toe message, a word from God—44R epent"-which stirred the whole countryside. But he had even a greater mission. H- John—foe Forerunner of Jesus (w . 4-6). He humbly identifies himself as toe voice in the wilderness prophe sied by Isaiah. His was foe impor tant duty of preparing the way for toe coming of the Lord Jesus. The picture is that of the prep aration for the coming of an orien tal-monarch. When he 44Was about to make a journey, a servant was sent before him to prepare foe high way. Valleys needed to be filled, hills lowered, crooked places made straight, rough ways made smooth. Thus, before men would be ready to receive Christ, moral obstacles must be removed, men must repent of their sins and turn from them” (Erdman). Isaiah says that “all flesh shall see foe salvation of God,” some thing which God <has made possi ble, but which we have not even yet fully carried out. The gospel is uni versal in its character—for all man kind. This prophetic word will, of course, have its complete fulfillment when foe King comes to reign. Then “they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them” (Jer. 31:34). HI. John—foe Follower of Jesus (w . 15-17). . The humility of toe man, his rec ognition of true greatness in Christ, his willingness to efface self, is seen in toe words of these verses and in such other passages as John 1:29- 30, where he directed his disciples to Jesus, whom they followed, and John 3:26-30, where in response to the effort to make him jealous of Jesus because his (John’s) disci ples followed Him, John replied, 44He must increase, but I must de crease.” He was glad to be foe friend .of foe Bridegroom who re joiced when the bridegroom came (John 3:29). He declared himself unworthy to loose foe latchet of Christ’s shoe (Luke 3:16). The Christian virtue of humility is evil spoken of by a world of force and hatred, but it is still precious in foe sight of God, and foe orna ment par excellence of Christian character. “Be clothed with humil ity: for God resisteth the proud and giveth grace to foe humble” (I Pet. 5:5).As he put himself in. foe back ground, John put Christ forward as foe one whose baptism would not be a material element; water, indicat ing toe inward change of repent* ance, but would be with Hoty Ghost fire, cleansing and transforming life. However, the. Christ who comes as a Saviour to the repentant one, comes also as "the flaming fire of judgment upon the impenitent. There is wheat and chaff In the world of men, and the fan of Christ will soon separate toe wheat which goes into His eternal garner from foe chaff which. He will burn with unquenchable fire. . - Our God is a God of unfathom able grace, but He is also a God of .severest judgment upon those “that obey not foe gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.” -Read foe solemn words of H Thessalonians 1:7-9. It is an awful thing to. reject foe Sa viour, and thus to make' Him our Judge. fr - v- r*fc * * ' ' 5 ' -. Y.

Farm Machinery Repair Week This week, January 12-17 , has been set aside in Davie county as farm machinery repair week. There exists in this country today a very definite shortage of certain metals, while the demand for these metals has been greatly increased by the war. In fact, it is definitely un derstood that the amount of new faim machinery will be materi .lly decreased. This-means that the old machines must be fixed up, ad justed and oiled, in order to last longer, and do a more efficient job. W ith this in mind, farmers of the county are asked during this week to get tbeir farm implements out of the sheds; go over them for worn and broken parts, and get these parts now, or place orders tor them in order to avoid delay during the busy season of spring. We cannot emphasize the impor. tance of this too much, since the shortage of metals will, no doubt, become more acute as-time goes on D. C. RANKIN. County Agent. Dave County. Letter From Soldier Boy.

'«k - I!-'? runiversity, newly commissioned en- sign in the navy, was.sent to Lisboa to dig weather reports for the wob bly crow-hop of the NC-4 across the ocean. Thereafter, joining the aero- logical service, he was the weather consultant of polar fliers, gave Lind bergh the gun for his historic flight to Paris, cleared or held Dr. Ecke- ner’s blimps, served from 1922 to 1928 as head of the aerological serv ice, and became head of the weath er bureau on January 16, 1939. IN ANOTHER, and possibly more enjoyable, century, Cadet Charles M. Wesson, known as “The Bull,” was a famous line-bucker. at West Ordnance Chief Point- Fof Comet Up With S Billion in Hand 34 years in the ordnance departm ent of the army, he has been bucking congress, try ing to break through the line for an appropriation touchdown, and al most always thrown for a loss. But now, as Major General Wesson, chief of ordnance since 1938, he finds his appropriation upped about 1,600 per cent to around $5,000,000,000. General Wesson, bulky, mus cular and appropriately beetle- browed at 63, has been a glutton for punishment, trying to get goods and gear for the armed forces. But he stands lip well under it, with no come-back oth er than an occasional wry wise crack. Away back in 1920, he made an earnest plea for anti aircraft guns, insisting that the bombing effectiveness of planes was increasing rapidly and we would be in a bad way if we didn’t keep ahead of it. The general might just, as well have asked for caviar and champagne for the daily army ration. It was pretty much that way for the next 20 years. And now, all at once the man who blew in Brew ster’s Millions is a skin-flint, compared to the general. He was born in St. Louis, Mo., and was graduated from West Point in 1800. In 1907, he joined the ordnance department, made good on his job as a hard-working, and competent technician and passed quite a few miracles in keeping the U. S. arse nal at Watertown, Mass., kicking out fighting equipment during the World war, with or without congressional appropriations. As commandant ol the Aberdeen proving grounds in Maryland, he spent much time ex plaining to congress why the arm; found it difficult to patch up old Springfield rifles, or get its shoes half-soled. In some manner or othel he gets along with congress. |f Jap Subs on Galifomia ■■ f lbsaroka, hit by a Jap torpedo off the California coast, is shown;" with: deck I One crew member was killed.

Whitman—'WNU Service.) Oil Burner Success MANY of my correspondents are planning to equip their house heaters with oil burners, and ask my opinion of the various makes that are offered to them. As a matter of fact, all oil burners can give good service. The choice is. not among the different makes, but among the local oil burner installers. lDie best oil burner made will not work well if it is not properly installed, nor will a burner continue to give sat isfaction unless it is under the super vision of a competent service man. The first step in buying an- oil burn er should be to inquire among oil burning friends for their opinions of the local installers, with the idea of selecting an installer who is compe tent, skillful, likely to stay in busi ness, and will give quick and good service in times of need. A man of that type will have the agency for a reliable burner and can be de pended on to recommend the type and size of burner best adapted to the heating plant. I have often spo ken of the false economy of buying at cut prices, for it is likely to lead to poor service and dissatisfaction. This is especially true of oil burn ers; for if one is offered at a suspi ciously low price, there is reason to believe that the manufacturer may be going out of business, in which case there will be no source for spare parts. A good burner is worth paying for. Linoleum on Bough Floor Linoleum that is laid on a rough, worn and uneven floor will not last, for the roughnesses will quickly wear it through. When linoleum is to be laid on a floor in that condi tion the wood should be smoothed by scraping, or better yet, by sand ing with a heavy floor machine. An other method is to cover the floor with plywood. This can be one-half inch thick, and for convenience in laying, should be in pieces not more than four feet square, with the edges making tight joints. This forms a smooth and excellent surface, and Unoleiun cemented down over it fhould last almost indefinitely. The newly laid plywood will look so well that the home owner may well won der about covering it with linoleum. He should do so, however, for if not protected by a floor covering, the surface will quickly chafe and splin ter. Squeaky Bedspring Question: Several months ago the coil spring of a bed was soaked with rain coming through an open window. Ever since, there has been - a terrible squeak. Oiling does not help. What can we do? Answer: You probably did not get the oil where it would do the most good. Using an oil can, put a drop of oil at every point where one piece of metal touches another. Then jounce the spring several times, so that the oil will work into the joint. Streaked Lampshade Question: I washed a silk lamp shade with soapy water and a sponge but when it dried the result was streaky. How can I dean it? Answer: Fill your bathtub with tepid water, with a few handfuls of soap flakes dissolved in it. Draw the lampshade through this slowly sev eral times, and then rinse with clear water. Pat with a bath towel and hang up to dry. Braid and orna ments that may come off can be stuck back with glue. Kitchen Wall Finish Question: Walls of an old kitchen are uneven, being partly plastered and partly wallboard. Would plastic paint hide the roughness? Answer: Plastic paint made of gypsum will adhere to both plaster and wallboard, but you should give it a smooth finish. You can Sien enamel it, or use washable wall paper or wallcloth. Bnsted Tools Question: What is the best way to remove rust from household tools? Could I use some kind of acid? Answer: Rub with emery cloth, wet with kerosene. You can also get rust-removing liquids at an automobile supply store. I do not recommend an acid. Crarabling Mortar Question: Brick mortar in house walls has been crumbling and wash ing away until part of the brickwork is bare. Why? What is the remedy? Answer: The mortar is porous, possibly because too much blade coloring was used in proportion to the cement. Have it replaced by a competent mason. Finish for Stucco Question: Cement stucco over brick and stone must be repainted. What paint should we use? Answer: You can get a cement paint intended for that work. Any good paint store has it. FIonr Worms Question: -M ykilchencabinet has a sifter type flour bin, which tilts forward slightly to fill,.and is diffi cult to reach into. I have several times found white worms' in the flour. How can I get rid of them? Answer: Although the flour bin I: is built in, there is undoubtedly a method for releasing it and tak ing it out for cleaning. Scourt well with strong soap, and give it a good sunning and airing. For surest re sults, abandon the bin and' keep your flour in a tight canister. This is the real answer.

New Club U a WOW A DD to the list of unusual Ameri- can clubs a new one that’s def initely a WOW! - It’s the Wheelers of the World club and it’s made up of people named Wheeler—that is, those Wheelers who are “agin’ Burton K. and for ’Fighting Joe.’ ” Its purpose, say its sponsors, is "to revive the spirit of Fighting Joe and save the faces pf all present-day Wheelers” (at least, those who don’t approve of the Montana senator’s isolationism), and its aim is “to raise enough money to buy a bomber for Britain and name it the ‘Fighting Joe’ Wheeler.” The man whom they thus prp- #ose to honor was one of the most colorful characters in American mil itary history. Graduated from West Point in |859, Wheeler was appointed a lieu tenant in the United States army but resigned his commission when Georgia seceded from the Union. When he entered the Confederate army he was first made colonel of an infantry regiment and command ed a brigade at the Battle of Shiloh. ‘FIGHTING JOE’ WHEELER But the next year he was trans ferred to the cavalry and made a brigadier general. Promoted to major-general when he was only 26 years old, Wheeler was given command of the cavalry attached to the Army of Tennessee and in that position rendered invalu able service to its inept and inde cisive commander, Braxton Bragg. One of Wheeler’s political opponents later said of him that he “had never won a battle.” More important is the fact that he often saved the Anny ot Tennessee from defeat. For Wheeler proved that he under stood the true function of the cav alry, that of being the “eyes of the army,” and his right to fame rests upon the fact that, he was an “army cavalryman,” not an “independent cavalryman.” Other Southern lead ers IUce Forrest, Stuart and Mor gan might perform spectacular feats as raiders, but all too often they were away on some dashing foray when they';were most needed as the “eyes of the army” and it is doubtful if: they were ever as valu able to their commanding generals as was “Fighting Joe.” . , That, was .the affectionate nick name his men gave him soon after he was transferred to the. cavalry and he proved, his right to it during the remainder of the war. By the time it was over, he had taken part in 400 engagements,' been wounded three times suid had, 16 horses shot under him. “The gamest little banty I ever knew” was the tribute one of his friends paid him—he was only Sve feet five inches in height and weighed only 120 pounds. After the war he quickly adjusted himself to . peace-time pursuits, studied law and was repeatedly elected to congress. At the. outbreak of the Spanish- American war, although 62 years old, he immediately applied for a commission and was made a ma jor-general ot volunteers. Thus he became the only corps commander to wear both the gray and the blue. In Cuba the little “Georgia Gamecock” defied his commanding officer, General Shatter, who was as huge as Wheeler was small, and led 1,000 men in a wholly unauthorized but successful fight' at Guasimas, the first battle of the Santiago' cam paign. It was in the fury of this engagement that “Fighting Joe” is said to have forgotten that he wasn’t wearing a gray unifbrtn and to have shouted “Come on, boys,, give the Yankees hell!” He died’in 1906 and was buried in Arlington. The prime mover ii the organiza tion of the new dub.-to- “revive the spirit of ‘Fighting Joe’ .Wheeler” is Elmer' (“Sizzle”) Wheeler of Dal las, Texas, a nationally known sales consultant and author of the book “Tested Sentences TOat Sell.” He. is also president of the Tested Selling Institute of New York, founded .12 years ago to test .words and phrases for their relative value in making people buy things. He tells sales men “Don’t ask if—ask which.” It was his famous slogan “Don’t fell the steak—sell the sizzle” that gave him his nickname. ~ P A T T E R N S SE W IN G CIRCLE • • • • V \ /I A NlAPRON ,which pleases for its efficiency as well a£ for its bright gay appearance, easily achieyjed with a few rows ot ric rac, is presented here in a pat tern -which is no trouble at all to follow!

DefenseDrive Boosts Mining Output of Mercury, Chrome, Manganese and Tungsten Doubles In Two Years. Here s tl The liquor traffic is a national headache, and there is only one real cure: abolition of liquor mak ing, of liquor selling, and of liquor drinking! That W.C.T.U. diagnosis is backed by common citizen and studious leader, by a del uge of newspaper stories telling of liquor’s connec tion with rotten politics, with vice, with adult and juvenile crime, with the spread of disease, with wrecked homes, with in sanity. The “cup that cheers” strangely enough leaves only unhappiness in its ,wake. Yes, the liquor traffic causes split ting pains in the nation’s head. The cure is backed by hundreds .... nf years of mankind’s efforts to rSttBjfce the liquor problem. It’s like the womalFs-Uhristi&H-Tempvihuee' Union says: “You can’t cure can- cer with soft soap; you have to cut 4 1 }' it out!” Social workers, temperance . groups, many of the biggest Protes tant churches have recently re affirmed their belief that temper ance education plus prohibitory leg islation are the only effective solu tions. The ideal solution, temperance leaders say, would be for all people to “swear off” drinking alcohol. Temperance education and the sound common sense of the majority will eventually achieve abstinence of the “thinking ,individual,” they believe. BUT, they declare, as long as the multi-million-dollar liquor traffic is in existence it “makes addicts out of the weak and unthinking, and particularly out of inexperi enced youth; it will continue to gain victims be cause it is a nar cotic and because it is easily avail able.” That is why, from the view point of a common sense appraisal of history, they say that complete prohibition is the only eventual so lution. Every sign indicates, they con tinue, that a rapidly growing num ber of voters agree with them. Not today, not tomorrow, but eventually —they are confident—the padlock of abolition will stop the headache! "Cut It OoV' MAYBE fou G d Make Sg* ADVERTISINe- N OTI C E!

But the old boom camps of the roaring' forties have vanished into the shad owy past along with the bearded prospector and his burro. Stimulated by the defense pro gram, the mines of 'Califonua and Oregon are producing as never be fore even in the halcyon goldrush days. But their operation has fallen into a streamlined, modem design. Demand for metals needed in the manufacture of guns and arma ments, shells and explosives has more than doubled production of manganese, mercury, tungsten, chromite and antimony diming the past two years, Charles White Mer rill, chief engineer of the United States bureau of mines in San Fran cisco revealed. Contrast With Fast. But in place of the wide open camps of the famous forties which !grew up around the mines here 60 !years ago, the plants are now manned by sober farm boys, clerks |and mechanics from nearby coun try and small towns, who drive to [work in the family “jallopy.” At the booming new “Bonanza” mercury mine near Roseburg, Ore., ia survey shows that Ihe men drive jfrom 10 to 70 miles a day to their !jobs. At several big plants in Cali fornia and Nevada there isn’t even a store or a bunk house. The Bonanza mine now ranks with the New Idria and the New Almaden mines of central California as the three largest mercury mines in America. Production of the fluid quicksilver has doubled here in the past two years. West coast mines now yield 3,000 flasks a month. Incidentally the price has jumped from $75 a flask in 1938 to $192 a flask today, department records show. Source of M etals. Manganese chromite and anti mony in North America, are found almost exclusively in the coast and Sierra Nevada foothills of the west ern slope. Increased production of these metals has been stimulated recent ly, Merrill pointed out, by construc tion of two large smelters in Ta coma, Wash., and Portland, Ove., to reduce the ore to ferro-alloys. Due to the high shipping cost of the raw ore to eastern steel mills and importation of cheap Oriental minerals, the western source of sup ply has remained practically untapped, until the present emer gency. Operation of the new furnaces make reduction of the bulky ore to concentrates possible with corre sponding economy of shipment to the East coast. Government reports show a 50 per cent boost in produc tion here already with Merrill pre dicting even greater expansion dur ing 1942.

Hiddenite, N. C. We never regret loving God and mankind. However, there is a re gret, sooner or later, to every heart and soul that does not love God and his fellowmeo. It is as sure to' come as night follows day, and as day follows night. A -d regret Is something that is unpleasant. Some times it burns and stings the very heart, conscience and soul until one cannot rest day and night. God’s way is the way of love. Thedevil’s way is the way of bate. God^s way always works right and brings the best results. The devil’s way always works wrong, and brings the wrong results. It is a thousand times better to love a man than to bate him. “ Well,” yod say, ‘‘some people are so mean I can’t love them.” That is true from the standpoint of the human, but it isn't true from the standpoint of the Divine. God can give us such love for Himself- until we can love wicked men. Ies- us loves them. He died for them. He even tells us to love' our ene mies, pray for them and do; good for evil. This is His way, bat the devil’s wav is to bate onr enemies and do evil for evil. Tbe reason why the world is in snch a dread ful condition tod y, ient and torn with war, is. because men bate men and return evil for evil. We admitthatittakes the love of God shed abroad, in tbe heart to enable us to love one another. Nothing short of tbis will do. Es pecially is tbis true when it comes to loving our enemies, praying for them.and returning good for evil However, this is God’s plan and way for us to live by It is a glo rious plan and way. It brings a. bout wonderful results. We fee so much better when we love men than when we hate them. Life to us is far sweeter and happier. It is far sweeter and happier to otb ers alsb. Praise the Lord. It is true we may have enemies regardless of how much we love God and man, but we. don’t have to be an enemv to anyone. There is such blessedness in loving God and-.bumanity until we can say in tbe language.of the Psalmist: “My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of tbe Lord forever.” Tbis makes life happv, and the outlook on the future bright, beau tiful and wonderful.

Motorist Curbing Speed To Save Tires. Government ban on sale of tires and new automobiles' to the "aver age motorist” has done what law en- fo-cement has done what law en forcement agencies and the" courts have not been able to do—practical ly eliminated speed on the highways. That was the opinion voted by many who. observed week-end: traffic on highways over this-section of the state. Motoristsweretakingiteasy —putting^ less strain and wear on their automobiles and particularly on tires. And the opinion was also freelv' expressed here by officers and others that the reduced speed would save a majority of lives which would other' wise have been lost on the highways in accidents. Numerous people who had been ac customed to ' Step on it” at spee of sixty to' eighty miles per hour are now determined to keep under 60 while an equally large number place 40 as their maximum unless in case of emergency. They know that lower speed will mean longer life for the precious, tires. in addition to less general wear on automobiles and far greater gasoline mileage than at high speed. - V: , Automobile dealers here have very small stock of new cars frozen by government order but are well supplied with used cars ranging from old to almost new.- Dealers are featuring the import ance of their service and garage de partments to keep' he present care in first class condition to prolong their life and serviceability through- the national emergency. AU agencies dealing witb automobile service have found, that automobile owners are more willing to take their advice and obtain regular lubrication agjlre pair service to keep the machine capable of maximum performance withMkfwlaMnrnmm anAnn S1minimum wear.—Ex.

However, the folks up that way both Demhcfats and Repubiicans growing awful tired of the kind of representation Bulwinkle has been giving them are talking of sending Jonas,to Washington.

S. Holbrook, well. known hearVspecialist, member of tlie staff at Davis Hospital at Statesville for the past eight years, has gone to join the U. S. army. He will be station ed for-the time at Fort Blandmg, Fla. j- ' Announcement of Dr Holbrook’s leaving was made by Dr. James W. Davis at a dinner meeting at the hos pital; attended by members of the hospital staff and guests. Dr'. Holbrook a first lieutenant in the Reserve Officers Association, has been promoted to the office of cap tain and his promotion is to be for mally bestowed when he enters upon bis duties in the armv camp. He was in the medical corps of the army for two years before he went to the Davis hospital eight years ago. , In announcing Dr. Holbook’s an swered the call to serve this nation for tfae duration of the present emer gency; Dr. Davis expressed emer gency,- Dr Davis expressed regret at giving him up, but stated that a place in the hospital staff will be dplen for him when the war' is oyer Hr.

Mrs. FDR is the First Lady of which we have any record who ad mits in the public prints that she both smokes and drinks. But of course this a New Deal. New Deal “statesmen” can't nn derstand that when tax capital out of existence they bring national progress to a standstill. Industry needs nourishment, not New Deal nostrums. Quite a discussion was recently held as to whether angels are men or women.

More Deception. Shortly after signing the second Lend-Leaseappropriation bill, Pre sident Roosevelt announced that at least a billion dollars of air was to be extended to Soviet Russia from Lend- Lease funds. Thereon bangs a. tale of further Administration deception. Ig bearinge on tbe bHI before the House and Senate ' Appropriations Committees various Administration spokesmen assured tbe Congresmen that it was not- the intention of the Administration to extend aid to Rus sia under the Lend Lease Act. Mr. Stettlnius. the Administrator of the Lend-Lease program told both Representative Lambertson and Re presentative Ditterthat there was no intention to use Lend-Lesse funds for aid to Russia—that it was no' in cluded in the appropriation Like wise, Mr Oscar Cox general counsel of the Lend-Lease Administration, and Secretary of War Stimson both assured th e Senate Appropriated under tbe Lend Lease Act would not be used for Russia and that Russia had not been included in computing the amount of money that was need' ed under the Lend-Lease Act Regardless of the necessity of ex tending tbis aid to the Communist, there can be no possible accuse for the apparently deliberate deception employed by the Administration in getting tbe second appropriation passed. Public confidence in the Ad ministration, never at a high pitch, can only be lowered by this latest trickery. ; Falsehoods may come easier to the Administration than the hard truth, but the steady use of falsehoods bardly rendering a service to demo cracy hero at home, Therearemany aspects of infla tion we can’t understand.

Mirade May Save “Kin*’ Practical people have known for a long time that only a miracle could save King Cotton, former sovereign of the Sooth, - Now, it looks like a miracle is ac tually posiible according to Dr. Frank Kenneth Cameron, professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina, who believes be has brought to successful termination eleven yeare of research work con cerning the processing of “whole cotton” fo r cellulose from which hundreds of different products can be manufactured. Among the many possible products;' are listed such important items as. tenite, photographic acetate films, cellepbane, celluloid, explosives, pa. per. rayons and staples. J A host of IeBS important products ^include drapery, fabrics, viscose sponges, ornamentel braid for ladies’ hats and shoes, washable accessories, soda straws, costume jewelry, gowns of rich coltstar velvet, pnd a large number of commodities from cellu lose acetates, nitratdj^etc. Under Dr. GSjMerori’s plan, cotton is sowedviike wheat, grown close-packed, and-harvested like hay with a machine that takes up the whole plant—boll, stalk, everything oicept the roots, bales it and. con veys it to a traijer without it having touched the ground. The “whole cotton” then passes through a grinding process, the col. oring matter is removed,and the oil recovered. Thedrier^Bfbund “whole cotton” is pulped and aipba-cellulose obtained. Thus, if Dr. Cameron is correct in bis contention that cellulose can be extracted from cotton as cheaply as from wood, and an adequate market thereby erected to absorb the crop, present ills would largely disappear. Under conditions how existing the future outlook is exceedingly dark for tbe old “King” who has beat given a temporary “shot in tbe arm” by artifical stimulants calculated to carry him through the war penod.It will be Sumiracle of tbe fint or der, if and wheo eomething inter-: venes to restorecbtton to anything Uke the pristine position of a once proud and mighty monarch,—Hickory Record} THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N.

I “He’s a beautiful baby,” Ma de fended angrily. “Look at those lit tle hands. Why, they’re beautiful. The idea, little and red!” “I don’t know much about ba bies,” he confessed. “I never met any so close before.” Ma’s anger changed to amuse ment. “You’ll learn.” She grinned. “Now suppose we put this young man down and let him get some sleep. He’s had a ipard night, too.” She eased the baby gently into an old wicker wash basket swathed in worn blankets, turned down the light and led the way to ,the Big Doc’s old study. , Across a heartening cup of tea, Ma demanded, “That story you were ' tt-ling me down in the stable. We’ve got time for it now.” “It’s an old story,” he admitted. “Nothing new about it. Me and Mary—my wife—we always wanted \ farm of our own. A IitSe place, not too big, where you could wake up and see something green in the morning. Me and Mary both were city kids—Chicago—but my dad was a farm boy and he talked about the land a lot. Me and Mary were never satisfied in Chicago. Then her grandmother died. Left us a IitQe money. Not much, but a little. And she said to me, ‘Joe, let’s get sway from the city. Let’s go some place where there’s -trees.’ She hated the city.” Ma nodded in understanding. Who could know better than she how a heart can wither and die in. the dark gray walls of a city? “We bought a farm through a friend of Mary’s Dad.” The man went on. “Maybe we were stung. It was in California, and we took it sight unseen. We had hard luck. It rained when it shouldn't, and some of oiu crop was beaten down. Then it didn’t rain when it should’ve, and a lot of our stufi burned up.” “No water on your land?” “Had been. But some big shot on the other side of the hill tied it up In court. Smoked us out. Wanted our little hunk of land to add to his. We were little people—and he wasn’t. We didn’t have money to fight him, and when he dammed up the headwaters of our creek we were through.” Ma growled sympathetically. “We finally had to sell for almost nothing. Me and Mary went to Se attle and I got a job there. Just when we knew the Little Fella was coming, there was a strike. We lived on what we had and I worked when I could, but you know how things are. Easier, to spend money than make it. When the time got close me and Mary decided we’d better get back to Chicago to her people. I hate charity, but it’s better than starving. - Mary thinks so, ariy- tvay.” Ma bit her lip. “So we started out in our car. It was a good car—once. It broke down outside that last village.” “Mountain Creek!” “We ought’ve had gone back then, I guess, but we thought we saw a light and we kept on. After a while, Mary couldn’t make it and I left her in the stable and started for help. I saw your candles. My mother was Irish. We always had lights in our windows on Christmas Eve, too, in case—in case people had no place to go.” Ma smiled. “My husband—that’s his picture over there—he used to say, 1Ma sends out engraved invi tations to every tramp in the coun ty on Christmas Eve.’ But I noticed he was always ready to give them old clothes and a dollar now afnd then, even when he couldn’t spare the dollar. He was—” Ma’s voice was reverent—“a wonderful man and the finest doctor in-the world.” She went on definitely, “I have four children. My oldest boy’s a big-shot doctor in Chicago,” the slang rolled from her lips expertly. He’s a good doctor, I guess, but not like his father. Kit was a doctor /because he couldn’t help it, because tele loved it more than anything else in the world, people have to do what they want in the world—like you living on a farm—or they’re not happy, not a bit.” The stranger’s face was sober. “I know. Something inside you just won’t let you have any peace.” “My oldest daughter’s a nurse and companion. That’s what she want ed to be. And my youngest son’s a writer, forthesam ereason, I sup pose. My daughter, Sally—’’ Ma’s voice softened, “she’s so pretty there’s no place in the world for. her but Hollywood.” She stopped suddenly, noting the ■trsngeT’a- tired face and dark- SVNOPSIS time.

And then Ma is called by a stranger to help his wife who is about to have a baby in a barn, where they took refuge from the snowstorm. Ihey bring the woman to Ma’s home—just in time. Ma looked up at the picture of Big Doe. “I, being of sound m ind/’ she wrote, “do bequeath . . ringed eyes, his politely stifled yawn. “It’s late,1” she mourned, “and I sit here babbling. You sleep down here on the couch, and if she wakes, call me. I don’t think she will. Good nighy* she said gently, “and Merry Christmas.” ttNo** he said, stubbornly, “it’s thanks—and Merry Christmas!” * • ' • Christmas morning burst white and beautiful across the hills. Ma stood at the window and marveled at the gentle froth of snow clinging to the pine trees, the soft feathery snowbanks leaning gracefully against the porch. Breakfast in the parlor was a mer ry meal, broken only by the occa sional whimpering of the new baby. As the last crumb disappeared, the girl said diffidently, “Joe and I’ve been talking and we—” Her husband came to her assist ance. “We haven’t a dime, Mary and me. And we’re under a terrible obligation to you.” Mary’s smile was wistful. “If you’ll be so kind as to put us up till we can move along—” “Move along where?” Ma de manded. “To Chicago. I can get a factory job in Chicago.” Joe’s smile was bleak. “You’ll stay where you are.” Ma chipped off the words without cere mony, “a ci work for your board and keep till Spring. How can you move a baby in Winter, in a ram shackle car and with no money? I’m a lonely old woman and you can stay until Spring or—” Or until when, her invalid heart mocked. Mary’s eyes filled with tears. “You’re kind,” she murmured. At a loss for words, Ma merely snorted vehemently. The girl went on, “We can’t ever repay you.” “Nobody expects any pay for do ing what they ought to do,” Ma re torted. “But we’d like to,” Mary persist ed. “So if you'wouldn’t mind too much. I mean, Joe and I—we thought—maybe you’d let us name the baby after your husband. He must have been a pretty wonderful person, or you’d never have mar ried him.” “He was—a wonderful person,” Ma said simply. “So, if you don’t mind, we think it’d be nice. We’d be proud if you’d let us. Wbat did you say his name was?” - “Christopher.” Ma was deeply touched. Christopher Shannon.” “Christopher would be a beautiful name,” Mary said gently, “for a baby born on Christmas.” Ma bent suddenly and kissed the girl’s pinched white face. “Bless your heart,” she choked on the words, “he’d be so pleased he’d—” The baby wailed. “Stop -your nonsense, Christo pher,” Ma commanded, “you’re a big boy now.*’ Mary laughed, young, happy laughter. Ma looked at her wonderingly. “It’s been a long time since a girl laughed like that in this house.” “It’s an awful easy house to laugh, in,” Mary replied. So there was company for Christ mas after all. The turkey .would not be wasted. The Christmas cook ies 'were not to blush unseen. And all the fulfillments of the Nativity were present for Ma, even though she shared them with strangers and not her own flesh. She left Joe and Mary to them selves, and wandered into the Big Doc’s study. Ma leaned back against the closed door and her lame old heart sang bravely, as she addressed her hus band’s portrait. “Well, Kit,” she said, “you’ve gone and got yourself a namesake, even if I did have to practically fish it out of a snow drift.” She sat down at the scratched desk. “They’re nice kids,” she con fided, “and they’ve had a rough deal. Funny, isn’t it? Here’s a house and farm and none of our own want it, and yet it would be a blessing to those poor waifs out there. Doesn’t seem right, does it?” The picture eyed her calmly. “It doesn’t, does it?” Ma was startled at her own passionate in tensity. “Would it matter much to you, Kit, to have strangers living here? I mean, if they were nice strangers? And if they had a little boy named after you? “Kenneth doesn’t need the old place, Kit,”'she pleaded. “He|d only sell it. You’d hate that. So would I. And Lydia wouldn’t live here on a bet. She loathes Mountain Creek. And Robert, he’d let it go to ruin. And Sally—Sally’ll make a success in Hollywood and she’ll be ashamed of the place where she was bom. I couldn’t bear to have any of them ashamed of the house we were so happy in. We were happy here, weren’t we, Kit?” She looked loving ly about the shabby room. “These youngsters haven’t got anything, Kit, except a baby and a lot of gumption. What do you think?” „ Outside the door she heard a mur mur of voices. “Look, Kit,” she said hastily,-“I’ve got some money in the bank. Our kids can have that. But the house —and the land—” She picked up the pen on the desk, dipped it into the old inkwell, began to write. “Don’t be mad at me when you see me, Kit,” she pleaded. “I’m only trying to do what’s right.” What was it she heard about last wills and testaments? They must be witnessed by disinterested parties? Well, wasn’t Danny coming up that afternoon, to pay a call on Sally— Sally who wasn’t coming home for, Christmas? Danny, would satisfy the most captious court of law. The pen marched across the page, trailed by Ma’s customary little inky splashes. “I, Margaret Heath Shan non, being of sound mind, do hereby bequeath to—” Ma snickered. “Who to?” She Ieh the desk and plodded to the door. Joe was saying earnestly, “I know it’s hard to live on charity, Mary but it won’t last forever. Maybe next Christmas—” Ma interrupted rudely. “You’ve spent th'e night here, had a baby, eaten breakfast, and swapped life histories with me, but I still don’t know your name. What is it?” Joe looked up, startled. “Carpen ter,” he said. “Joseph Carpenter.” . “Thanks,” Ma closed the door on his surprise.' “Carpenter. She picked up the pen again. “To Joseph and Mary Carpenter the farm and prop erty—” ' ''' The nagging pain was back, but Ma smiled. “It won’t be long now, Kit,” she said happily. “Maybe next Christmas—”____ [THEEND] \ ASK MS ?? ??

The age limit for enlistment In Class V 5 of the Naval Reserve, (a- vintion) has been lowered from 20 to 19 years, it was announced bv the Salisbury Navy Recruiters today. This class only pertains to aviation pilot training. Also, it is no longer necessary to be a high school gra duate in order to qualify for en trance to any of the Navv’s several aviation mechanical trade schools. The trades taught are aviation ma chinist. aviation metalsmith, avia tion ordnanceman. and aviation ra dioman. After five months training in these fine schools the graduates are assigned to duty with a fighter or bomber squadron The cost of this education to the Navv Depart ment is $1500 per man. Young men between the ages of 17 and 28 whp have a fair elementary education and a flair for serial adventures are ad vised to contact the Salisbury Navy Recruiters. In order to efficiently man our -fast-growing two ocean Navy, more than 10.000 enlisted men are sent to Navy trade schools each month where 45 different trades are taught. It should be noted, the recruiters pointed out, that prospective .selec tees are also eligible for enlistment in the Naval Reserve, (duration of the war) and may profit bv the vast trade training,>program instituted by the vast trade’ training program in stituted by the Navy for our Ameri can boys.

PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNV Service.) EW YORK.—People who' send ^ questions to radio quiz pro grams have been missing a chance to collect on “Who is the president China’s President °fhf ^ Revered as Fount answ er, as OfAncient Wisdom we try out the question, is Chiang Kai-shek—the generalissi mo and not the president. Lin Sen, serene and venerated pa triarch, has been president of China for 10 years. He could be called doctor, and he has many honorary titles, but he likes to be called Mr. Lin Sen. Just now, he is casually and obscurely in the news, with word of powerful generals making pilgrimages to his peaceful retreat, not to talk war, but to visit him as they might a priest or physician. He is a benign old gentleman, bespectacled, with a snow-white goatee, a scholar and an artist, wise and humorous and, above all, serene. He is one of the most famous chirographers of China and, so that he may quiet ly practice his art, he made a studio in a ruined garrison, with walls 10 feet thick. There, on bamboo paper, faced with silk, he copies tbe classics in swift, beautiful brush strokes, school ing himself in their wisdom. Son Fo, president of the executive yuan, takes care of the merely temporal and practical details of the presidency. Mr. Lin Sen Is free to practice wisdom and virtue and impart it to his people in beautiful characters. Mr. Lin Sen was a missionary stu dent in San Francisco’s Chinatown, studied western civilization diligent ly and, returning to China, preached a careful distinction between a civi lization and a culture. He said Chi na must be modernized, and joined Dr. Sun Yat Sen, to that end, but insisted that China would lose its soul if it took only guns and ma chines from the west—that force alone always failed, even when it' seemed to be triumphant. He main tained that true morality would in the end prevail even over bombs and bullets. But the latter, he be lieved, were all right in their place and in 1931 he became president, as the advocate of vigorous resistance against the Japanese aggression. His gods have generously answered for him an ancient Chinese prayer: “May your writing wrist be as lim ber as a willow-wythe.” •--- JOSEPH B. EASTMAN used to be “ a social settlement worker in his young days. It has been apparent that in this he experienced a cer- JoeB. Eastman a tain dif Uu- sionment as ''Natural* as New to the grand Transport B os. years he has been a pragmatic lib eral and it is as such that he tackles one of the most important jobs of the war, as chairman of the new office of defense transportation. AU he will have to do will be to gear all transport into a working unit, to keep things moving on railroads, air lines, truck lines, inland water ways, coastwise and inter-coastwise shipping lines and pipelines. It was a much simpler job when William G. McAdoo took it over in the first'World war, with plane and motor transport negligible. . Mr. Eastman, through his long service as chairman of the Interstate Com merce commission and as former co-ordinator of the railroads, has grown into it. Socially minded from his Am- herst and Phi Beta Kappa days, he became a hard - working “good neighbor” at the South End bouse of Boston, then coun sel for the Boston Street Rail way employees and later a member of the Massachusetts Public Service commission. When Woodrow Wilson named him to the ICC, he wrote a re gretful letter saying he would like to serve, but there was a bar sinister in his career—he was a Republican. Mr. Wilson laughed that off and Mt East man has served under five Pres idents. Supreme Court Justice Brandeis had recommended his original appointment. Railroad moguls like him personally and denounce his ideas. He threw a switch on the first Van Sweringen merger proposal in 1927, later on on L. F. Loree’s proposed merger of the Katy and the Cotton Belt with his own Kansas City Southern, and in valuation, rate rise cases, receiverships, recaptures, mergers and the like he has been sharply at odds with the rail barons and definitely aligned with the drive toward firmer governmental control. Senate Progressives got themselves into a great lather in 1929, prepar ing to fight aind die for their demand that he be reappointed. But Presi dent Hoover fooled them by doing just that. A Couple of Qood Cracks at Herr Hitler From Germany comes a photograph (left) passed by the propaganda bureau containing the following ad mission: “A German motorized unit stalled by snow on the Eastern front." Thus did Old King Winter take a crack at Adolf. And here is Jacques Soustelle (right), representative of the Free French, taking a crack at Hitler in Mexico City, at ceremony known as the breaking of the “pinata.” As the pinata in this case was an effigy of Hitler, Jacques found new strength in his arm. \ Singapore, Gibraltar of East, Is Rich Prize v r Mz&z >■ ^ / y \ Cf ii Ak < f* Ew OAOtIAtiS I ''I■ - ~ — sat w / n t } * s ", V N 1 ^ t'1Ht ^ * Ull * * * f . . „ L i £------j t lit# "C 1 5w#» TT t r TOWN OF I SINGAPORE^;-SSt-A „ SINGAPORE CENTRAL PAftK The defenses of Singapore, the Gibraltar of the East, are, naturally, military secrets, but this map. of the British island fortress gives some idea of the city’s size, its resources and harbor'facilities. Raid-free in the first days of the Pacific war, Singapore was attacked repeatedly by Jap bombers but valiantly defended. Martial law was declared in (he Singapore area shortly after the first attack by Japanese invaders. Putting Extra Stretch in Rubber We will all have to do without new automobile tires for the present. Next best thing is a retreading job on your old ones, if they are too smooth for safety. At left you see a re-treading operation in progress. A “camel back,” or new rubber top, is vulcanized to the old casing to give a new gripping tread. ' At the right is shown how a worn-out tire compares with one that has just been given a face lift, or a new tread. The recapped tire is at left; the old “smoothy’ beside it.

THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS/ IDSSON TEXT-Mattllew 4:1-11. GOLDEN, TEXT—For we have an high UrieEt . . . (who) was In all points tempted Uke as we are, yet without sin.—Hebrews 4:15. “We have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are; yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15, R.T.). We recognize that Jesus was tempted'as the Messiah (see Matt. 4:3, 6) and as One who Imd no sin, and yet He was tempted in all points as we are; and we may learn from His temptation how to meet tempta tion and be victorious over it. I. Temptation. It is the common lot of all man kind to be tempted (I Cor. 10:13). The strongest and most noble of men are subject to it; angels were tempted — yes, even Jesus was tempted. We need to know about temptation, so we note 1. What It Is (v. I). Temptation is of the devil. It is, as Principal Fairbairn expressed it, “seduction to evil, solicitation' to wrong. It stands distinguished from trial thus: trial tests, seeks to discover the man’s moral qualities or character; but temptation persuades to evil, de ludes that it may ruin.' God tries. Satan tempts.” Note that temptation is not sin, but yielding to the temptation is sin. We are told by James (Jas. 1:13- 15) that man is tempted by his own lusts. He also tells us that God may permit temptations or trials to test our faith (Jas. 1:2, 3), but His pur pose is only to prove us able to stand. God does not suffer us to be tempted beyond endurance, but pro vides a way of escape (I-Cor. 10:13). 2. How It Works (w . 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 , 9). Satan has only three tempta tions, although he is a master at giving 'them different .appearances. The temptation of Jesus followed the same threefold line as that of Adam and Eve (Gen. 3:6), whichis described in I John 2:16 as the gen eral temptation of all men, namely, “the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.” Observe how Satan worked on Jesus: (a) By appealing to the flesh (w.. 2, 3). Jesus had fasted 40 days, and Satan took advantage of that fast to sug gest that He use His divine power of creation to satisfy His hunger. To do so would have been to deny His very mission on earth. Satan observes in man the normal appetites of his body, excites them to a high degree, and then tempts him to satisfy them in an improper way. (b) By appealing to pride (w . 5, 6). God had promised to keep Jesus “in all his ways” (Ps. 91: 11), but casting Himself from the temple was not one of God’s “ways” for H im .' The devil wants us to be presump tuous and call it faith, and this is his pitfall for one who really wants to believe—cause him to become a fanatic and substitute foolish pre sumption for frith, (c) By appeal ing to the eyes (vv. 8 , 9). By show ing Christ the kingdoms of the earth in some kind of striking panorama, or moving picture, he offered a short cut to their rule by a brief act of worship of him, rather than by way of the cross. The devil showed his real purpose here. He wants wor ship—he wants us to bow to him in stead of to. God. H. Our Lord Was Victorious Ovei Satan. We, too, can triumph in His bless ed name. Todosow eneedtostudy the way of victory. I. How to Gain It (w . 4, 7, 10). Three steps appear: (a) By the right use of Scripture. If our Lord needed and used that weapon, how can we possibly do without it? How can we use it if we do not study it, and hide it in our hearts (Ps. 119: 11)? (b) By complete dependence upon God. Every Scripture used by Jesus against Satan honored God the Father. We cannot fight-Satan in our own strength. Luther was right— “Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving- would be losing.” The real victory for- the Christian is to bring Satan to the foot of the cross. Christ defeated him complete ly there, and we may plead that victory. (c) By denouncing'Satan. Jesus sent him on his way. We may do the same, in Jesus’ name. It is always a serious error to argue with Satan, or even to ffiscuss mat ters with him. He is not divine, but he is a supernatural being with knowledge and cunning which are too much for us. Meet him with- Scripture, honor God by your faith hi. Christ, then “resist the devil. and he will flee from you” (Jas. 4:7). 2, What It Brings (v. 11). When the defeated devil left Christ; an gels came and ministered to Him. The overcoming of temptation brings victory, peace, and blessed rest. Tliis is ever true in the life of the believer. Temptations victoriously met make one stronger in meeting the next temptation. There is. al ways a next one, for we read (Luke 4:13) that the devil left Christ only “for a season.” “ CITUATIONS” are what these two pups seem to get into every day of the week.

DE TllBK(Professor of Soil ForiilHy, College oi Agriculture, University of Illinois.) Legumes, like other crops, fly unmistakable distress signals when their diet lacks important plant food elements, observations made in the past cropping season indicate. Yet they frequently show these nutri tional deficiencies by slow growth, rather than by any specific abnor malities of form or color. They are likeljr to produce undersized plants which are normal in appearance otherwise. Ordinarily the early symptoms of plant food hunger take the form of changes in color. The most com mon color symptom results from chlorosis—o* loss of the green color. This may be followed by the death of the affected area. The chlorosis may consist of paling of the ordi nary green color, or the appearance of various shades of yellow or even white dots and patches. In general the lack of one' or more of the three major plant food dements—nitrogen, phosphorus and potash—will result in ill health for the crop. Nitrogen deficiency results in slow growth of the legumes, a decrease In fiie branching of the plants and smaller plants at maturity. These may occur without the appearance at specific symptoms and have lit tle value to the farmer or agrono m ist attempting a diagnosis. Se vere nitrogen deficiency often causes mild chlorosis in which the leaves gradually become pale green with a yellowish tinge rattier than distinct ly yellow. The chlorosis usually spreads evenly over the entire Iedf surface. A lack of phosphorus manifests it self in slow growth. The legume jilants remain small and undeveloped. Flowering and seed produc tion tend to be delayed and a bluish- green tinge may develop in the leaves. But there are no specific symptoms that can be used with as surance for purposes of detecting Idiosiihonis deficiency. Of all the symptoms observable in legumes, those of potash hunger are probably the most outstanding and easily recognized. Broad-leaved legumes such as the soybean show evidence of insuffi cient potash by irregular yellow mottling around the edges of the leaflets. The discolored areas soon merge, forming a continuous yellow border around the tip and along the ■ides, but rarely around the base.. Death of the chlorotic area that first became mottled follows promptly ■long wifii a downward cupping of tbe leaf edges. Then the dead tis sue falls out, giving the leaflet a ragged appearance. Dairy Production The “all-out” dairy production program for defense needs and higher returns to .the dairymen should be tempered with careful feeding and management practices, believes C. S. Rhode, extension dairy -specialist of the University of IUinois college, of agriculture. Overfeeding on high protein'' ra tions, short dry periods and failure to supply adequate amounts of min erals are some of the-things to be avoided. Balancing the grain mix ture to fit the kind and quality of available roughage, the use of bone meal In the ration when needed and a dry period of a month to six weeks are some of the points that should receive attention.

PITTSBURGH--The presence of fifth columnists 90 years ago is hint ed in a' letter written by Louis Kos suth, Hungarian patriot of the last century. The letter has been willed to the University of Pittsburgh. It was written on September 27, 1851, aboard the United States bat tleship Mississippi at Marseille, France. In it Kossuth described a trip to England and America to win sympathy for his.unsuccessful fight for Hungary’s liberation, and ex pressed confidence the traitors from within would be overcome. “When the day arrives on which we shall break the yoke of tyrants forever the nation shall not be afraid that ambitious traitors will be able to frustrate our historic struggles,” the Hungarian pa triot wrote. He wrote the letter just after he had been rescued from a Turkish prison by a United States gunboat that steamed through the Darda nelles and demaixicd his release. “I was prevented temporarily by force from the execution of my gu bernatorial powers, but the legality of the source from which this office has its origin cannot be weakened," Kossuth wrote in support of his the ory of “government in exile,” prev alent today among nations that have been conquered by Germany. “I will continue to exercise the rights of my office until I am defi nitely convinced that die nation is in a position to determine her fu ture herself.” The letter will be presented offi cially to the university early next year during a nation-wide celebra tion of the ninetieth anniversary of Kossuth’s visit to America. Hints of Weapons That Will ‘Surprise’ Hitler PHILADELPHIA—American sci entists have developed new “un pleasant surprises” for Hitler, if this country should become involved in war with tile Axis, Dr. Thomas S. Gates, president of the Univer sity of Pennsylvania and district co ordinator of the United States divi sion of contract distribution, said. New measures of protecting our cities from bombing and for safe guarding shipping were promised by Dr. Gates in an address before the Philadelphia section of the Amer ican Institute of Electrical Engi neers. “I am not hinting at some fantas tic ‘super-weapon’ that will an nihilate armies and the population of cities,” he said, “but I am speaking of new and improved'devices that will protect us from raiding bomb ers, that will place additional safe guards about our shipping and that will add to our power of offensive warfare. “You can depend upon it that American science and ingenuity have some surprises to spring upon surprises,” Dr. Gates said. He said that, because of the secret nature of the new weapons, he was unable to give any details. Medical Students Help. Girl Return to College ’ WALTHAM, MASS.—Miss Louisa Kun Sil Chung of Honolulu, T. H., Middlesex university’s favorite girl student, will return to college be cause the sophomore class of medi cal students dug into their pockets to bring her back. The boys had elected Miss Chung, an honor student, as class secre tary, but she failed to register this fall, so they investigated and found that illness in her family made it impossible for her to get the nec essary funds. So they voted to raise her tuition by assessing each sophomore med ical student. The university joined the campaign by. offering her an NYA position and a $100 scholar ship. Miss. Chung, a graduate of the University of Hawaii who received a master of science degree from the University of Pittsburgh, wired her thanks and said she was en route.

E, SCOTT (UahrtrtityoiMwradmXxttmdmSuriet,) Successful farmer-poultrymen pay inearly as much attention to the way; !they feed their pullets and layine !hens as they do to the kinds ofj feeds they provida. 1 ■ For one thing, abrupt changes In the diet may cause the birds to go "off feed” and result in lower egg. Iiroduction and. slower growth, as will the use of stale feed.If a change in diet must be made, H is suggested that it be giedual and extended over a period of at least a week or ten days. Important too, is sufficient hopper space, lest the more timid birds in the flock go hungry. At least 10 linear feet of hopper, with hens eat ing from both sides, should be pro vided per 100 laying hens, and a suf ficient length of watering trough or number of containers to prevent crowding. When there are enough separate pens a good idea is to separate the timid hens from their more aggres sive companions, making a small pen of tiiis group. They will soon forget their timidity. Oie practice followed by many poultrymen is to provide only a lit tle more feed each day than the lords clean up. The left-overs, if dean and dry, can be mixed thoroughly with the fresh feed in the hoppers, and in this way, there will be no accumu lation of stale feed- at the bottom of tbe hoppers, reducing likelihood of mold. Feed mixtures containing fish oil, as sources of vitamin A or D, should be bought or mixed in small quanti ties so that they can be used within 10 days or two weeks. High Egg Production Hs Government Goal Three billion seven hundred dozen eggs are expected from American Iiiyng in 1942 to provide an adequate, supply t o home needs and for the British. m is increase of 11 per cent over the expected 1941 production has been called for by the government be cause of the vital part eggs play in the nation’s diet, according to C. F. Parrish of North Carolina State col lege. During the next six to eight months, there will be a special need for good feeding and care to get increased production from each hen. After that time, greatly increased numbers of pullets win come into production. Hie number of layers on farms at the beginning of 1942 is expected to be 10 per cent greater than during the early part of this year. This is one time when fanners should really use all their skill in getting more eggs from their hens.' Csrefbl feeding and management, essentials of any good poultry pro gram at any time, should be brought into use by everyone during this emergency. Favorable egg prices, together with the government pledge to put' a floor under prices, provide a strong incentive to boost production.' Farm Work Clothes Under Price. Control The government’s interest in the farm working man has ex tended as far as his working clothes. .Pointing out that the wholesale price of overalls has gone up 35 per cent and the wholesale price of work trousers 37 per cent in the past two years, the Office of Price Administration now is act ing to keep the cost of this wear ing apparel from getting further out of line. Chambray, cotton coverts and denims, 1 widely used materials for working clothes, have been added to the list of cotton goods now under a definite price sched ule. Forestalling of advances in price on the fabric is expected to head off tbe inevitable increase which comes when the work ninthing crosses the retail coun ter. The OPA, of which Miss Har riett Elliott, consumer consultant, is assistant administrator, acted last spring to put standard print doth and other higher grade cot ton goods' under a “ceiling.” Since then fabrics for work clothes have increased in price until they are out of line with the established ceiling. Profitable Pastures Pasture land promises to be one of the most profitable sources of larm income in the next year or two in view of the. steadily increasing defense demands for meat and dairy products. In order to obtain the most profitable results from pasture, a program of good soil management including the application of fertilizer Js essentiaL Such a program not only will produce grasses richer in needed vitamins and minerals, but - will promote more rapid growth.

Mr. Dodd has been called to . the pastorate of the PnIIen Memo, rial church at Raleigh, but he says : think of accepting|it Bosiness And Salvation Rev. Walter E. Iaenhour. Hiddenite1 N. C. Business and salvation should go together Why not? We realize that we are in a business world, and In order to live we must tran sact business. Everybody must have a living. God expects us to have an occupation, and to leal one with another. There is indeed a business side of life as well as a spiritual side. Both should go to. getber. Absolutely. No man should engage in busi. ness that is wrong; that is out of keeping with God’s holy Word and will; that gives him a guilty con science; that would keep him out of heaven, and that would hurt his fellowmen, .jjjaysically, mentallyt morally, financially and spiritually, and keep them from seryidg and worshipping God acceptably, and rob them of heaven. If men everywhere would take salvation into their business, and business into their salvation, which is reasonable and right, this would be a far different world to what it is today. Everybody would treat each other fair and square. There would be no lying, cheating and peftanding. In laboring one for another, and in dealing with eajb other in business, it would be plea sant. Men would not mistreat each other. Every man would give a hundred cents to the dollar and six teen ounces to the pound. Thev would be absolutely honest with each other. That is how it ought to be. Hdwever,-since the vast multi tudes leave God out of their busi ness, and won’t live to do His holy will, it is up to those of us who blend business and salvation' to be true and faithful. Let's do ' our best to be straightforward and hon est in the business, world, and to serve and worship God acceptably. It is wonderful to owe no man any thing but to love him;-: ,to realize that we ate not beating our way through life by dishonest means and methods; that we are doing God's will by the occupation we follow, the work we do, the way we deal with our fellowmen, and meanwhile have our affection set on things heavenly Yes, every man's bnsiness should be in harmony with salvation—with God and His will. No one can be dishonest and un. fair in his business, or follow the wrong business, and in the mean time have salvation, rich, full and free. Amen. Lincob Day Dinner Will Be Held Soon. John A. Wilkinson, of Washing ton, N. C., president of the North Carolina Young Republicans, an nounces the annual Lincoln Day dinner will definitely be held in Greensboro this year as usual. »Decision on whether to go ahead with the session in Iigbtof war con ditions held the plans up for quite a while and it had been regarded generally over the state that the session would be conceled. The event will be held as near as possible to February 12, depending on the availability of a speaker. No speaker has yet been contact, ed for the event as far as is known by two Greensboro Republicans ac tive in State work, Edwin M. Stan, ley, past state Young Republicans president, and Worth D. Hender. son, chairman. of 'the count y exe cutive committee. ' Wilkinson said the decision to bold the meeting was made after conferences with various party leaders throughout the state. ,. It’s a “lob’’ if the fellow who holds it is working by the week at $10 a day; it’s a “ position" if the holder draws down $70 a month.— Exchange. 100 Hens Equal 7 Bales Atlanta Journal. When too bens will bring in the net income of seven bales of cotton', why did South Carolini^lmport last year more than 1,000 tdUErof eggs and Geo gia twice, that amount ?

A*ter Scrap Metal. ,It was only a few short years ago that farms and towns and cities ot our/'h^yied country were being Rtripp^Sof all scrap metal. We watehed;day after day long trains loaded , with metal of all kinds as they passed Kinston on their way to Morehead City where the metal coiij^he. placed on ships and car- ;tjj^Jp|>Japao. Other American ” 'rts were full of boats loading the stuff for transports across the Pa. clfic to be made into guns and other implements of war by the Japs. The irony of this thing lies in the fact that some of the metal that went out of North Carolina may have actually wouoded Tar Heels in Hawaii and 0 -r other island pos sessions when the Japs made that murderous attack upon them. How short-sighted were we in those days in making these shipments Some one said the other day “ We sold the Japs scrap metal and now they are giving It back to us.” But today we know where -the scrap metal is going and wc urge full co-operation of all citizens on farms, in-towns and in cities..to' Irally to their government in an hour when it needs them most. Yes find , all the scrap metal you possibly can—that you did not send to Ja pan—and give to America Today w.e are malting th . guns and other war equipment. Ex. Stripped Of Elegance. Something. over a year ago we were in New York and had the good fortune to pass by the pier where were docked the Queen Mary and the Normandie, twpof the greatest and largest IinerSrihaY cross the At !antic. The Queen Mary was a British liner while .the Normandie w as French The latter, a 83 ,423-ton luxury liner, of‘which the French were so proud in peace time, is to day In the news. It has been suized by the American government and is being stripped of all its resplendent fittings and made into a grim' and aseful unit of ohr fighting forces. Under the above heading the States ville Landmark says “We have seized the ship, but und'-r international rules will pay for if at the proper time and pay plenty, so the French have.no kick coming. .-WMore than two million dollars Worth of luxiirious ft tings and fur nishings have been removed by work men who probably wondered at the fabulous interior of the vessel which was meant to cater mainly to those with money who spent more for a single trip than the workmen, could possibly earn in a year. They 'pro bably looked withmuch concern on Ihe .huge stock of French wines and liquor which was meant to be turn- ed into good -American dollars hand- ^d OyeKby tourists who didn’t have to stay at home and work with their hands. V “The elegant cabinets and panels and bronze doors have been stripped from the setting and carted off for salvage, Just As^mericanS and their assets are beiiigjltripped'for action, andYhe ship itself will become a car- riedbf strong men and stout hearts witba deeper purpose than to go forth--to see the sights of the world. ; WhenYbis warring is over will we again hegin the building of great luxurious vessels to carry the favored few to their favprite playgrouds? We doubt it. This warring is going to do a lot of things to a lot of peo ple, not the least of which will be the social and economic leveling it will bring. We may be content to ride the waves in more humbly ap pointed vessels .add take our incon veniences in stride. For what was going on the minds of those work men when they stripped .the Norman- die^of its glitter,- will continue to concern the rest of us when the fight ing is over.

Where do we go from here?’’ — Farmer’s le tte r in Indianapolis Times. “It is bad enough to have for. President in time of peace a man who is overconfident, incautious, self willed, uncertained- and unre liable; in time of war it would be disastrous!”—Sec. of N-vy Frank Knox prior to his appoint to a Ca. binet post They keep on saying that this is a mechauized war. Very well, now that we have gotten into it, lets mechanize it from hell to break fast. Let's make it a flush-riveted, double powered, turbo super charg ed one. And'the way to do it to tell the Lewises and the Hillmans to get the hell out of here. Those who are supporting FDR’s foreign policy have a perfect right to demand that he straighten out the domestic situation. It ought to be plain to a man with only one eye and half blind in that, that it is impossible effectively to operate our foreign policy if onr domestic affairs are in a mess. Alt Landon savs that the New Dealers are seeking to establish a collective state. Anyway we know they are t ying out that collective bnsiness on the taxpayers. It is a world of imitators. Men im'-tate monkeys nd mules, and some of them can’t help it. But why a man wants to be a Democrat because his father was passes com prehension.

You’ll !receive your next two weeks’ salary, Cf course, but you need not finish out the month.” ■ “You mean this is my last day?” ! “Yes! That’s all, Joan!” The late October sunshine flowed In pale golden streams across the busy streets of San Francisco as •Joan left the office for the apartment she shared with her sister. Fired! There was something almost sinister about this abrupt dismissal. After two years on the job! “Thank heaven, Sybil has a job!” Joan thought. The apartment boasted a fireplace end long floor-length windows. It was part of one of the old mansions for which San Francisco is famous. A regal building that had housed one of the great families of the city, now cast off by their grandchildren and subdivided into studio apartments. True, there was seldom enough heat and the cooking facilities were inadequate, but the old house reflected the charm and gra ciousness of the past.Joan glanced lovingly about the room, file girls had used their fur niture left to them by their parents. It was heavy, and rather old- fashioned, but it suited the high- ceilinged room.A voice from the bedroom hailed her. "Joan? That you?” i “Why, Syb! What are you doing home so early? I thought the beauty shop was staying open until seven this month.” . —'■ Sybii appeared in - the doorway clad in dressing gown and slippers, cigarette in hand. Her blonde hair curled meticulously; her blue eyes were a trifle hard. The two girls seemed to have little in common in appearance or temperament. Joan, brunette, twenty, restless, impulsive. Sybil, seven years older, gold en-haired, inclined to caution, espe cially where men were concerned. Sybil had been married and di- 'voiced when she was twenty-one. !Since then she had been determined [to save Joan from making the same 'mistake. “Never trust any man,” was Sybil’s motto, but Joan did not !take it too seriously, suspecting that her sister’s cynicism was covering 'a broken heart. ., “What a day!” Sybfl said, dreari- Iy throwing herself upon the couch. i"I have some news for you, Sis.”‘.‘I have something to tell you, ■too,” Joan said grimly. “I’ve lost jmy job! Mr. Mulford gave me two weeks’ salary and told me not to 'come back!”I Sybil sat up wide-eyed. . “Oh, !Joan! No!”“He wouldn’t even give me a rea- son,” Joan continued heatedly. “I 'can’t understand it. I’m sure there !isn’t anything wrong with my work. There’s something very strange jabout this, Syb! Mr. Mulford seemed !positively anxious to get rid of me.” “But, Joan,” Sybil interrupted, “I lost my job today too!”The girls stared at each other in alarm. ."The beauty shop is closing,” Sybil said, breaking the- silence. “This is my last week?’“Well, of course we’ll find something else,” Joan said, but her voice carried no conviction. “After all, we’re both experienced. I’m sure Mr. Mulford will give Ae a refer ence.”"Jobs aren’t easy to get . ... “Don’t be a pessimist, darling!” Joan advised.She tied a colored apron around her waist and went into the. kitchen. “There’s nothing to worry about tonight. We’ve got enough money in our account to last almost a month.” Sybil’s blue eyes were troubled. “Joan, that’s just it! I checked that money out yesterday to pay for a new coat. I thought we didn’t need it and I was'going to pay it back a little each month. Therd1U. hot a cent left in that account.” Night had fallen with a ’suddenness which filled Ae apartment with a strange new silence.“How. much money, haye you in yOur purse?” Joan inquired, frown- Agf"Two or three dollars. ,And,you?” <<I have this check from'’MT. Mul- ford. That will pay Ae rent for anoAer monA.”Sybil shivered and drew her quilt ed satin robe closer. “What are we going to do-Aen?” •“You couldn’t return Ae coat?” “No. It’s been altered.”“I’ll start lookmg tomorrow, Joan said resolutely. “Mr. MidfOrd’s UBHPiiy at Ae store until Ate. Fm going to telephone him and tell him “After all, Aere’s no harm A applyAg for Ae job. If somet&Ag I* wrong wiA it, I can teU when I go down there.” I’ll stop by Ae momAg to get a ref erence. I forgot all about it this afternoon. I was so upset.” Sybil watched A silence as Joan dialed Ae number. “This is Joan Leland. May I speak to Mr. Mulford?” There was a pause before a strange feminAe voice replied, “I’m sorry. That will be impossible. Mr. Mulford left town an hour ago.” Jqan gasped, “Left town? To night?” "That’s right.” “Who A this speaking, please?” Joan Aquired hotly. “I- am his secretary,” Ae voice informed her and the receiver clicked. “He’s left town! And he’s already hired a new secretary!” “I told you Aere was somethAg funny about this! Aiid how can you get a reference if he’s not here? You’ve never worked for anyone else.” “That’s what worries me!” “Let’s eat,” Sybil suggested. “I can’t think when I’m hungry.” “Cheerful night,” Sybil commented, as Aey ate. “I know!” Joan cried suddenly. “I’U took for a job A Ae want ads. Where’s Ae paper?” Sybil Adicated Ae small coffee table. Joan seized Ae paper and turned to Ae classified section. “I need a job and I need it right now! Listen to this. “Joan’s voice rang wiA excitement as she read, “ ‘Competent secretary wanted. WillAg to work nights. ,Apply after 9 p. m.’ ” “Wait,” Sybil said seriously, “Why do Aey want you to work nights? And why apply after 9 p. m.T” “What does it matter? A job’s a job.” Sybil stared at her A disapproval. “You’re not serious?” Joan jumped up and ran Ato Ae bedroom. “I certainly am! I’m go- Ag to apply for Aat job right now!” Sybil followed her. “You’ll do nothing of Ae kAd, Joan Leland! We’re not Aat hard up. Even if we were, L don’t want you to work nights.”Joan Aughed recklessly as she ran a comb through Ae raven-black haA and touched a powder puff to A e'white skA. “You take every- AAg too seriously, Syb! After all, Aere’s no. harm A applyAg for Ae job. If someAAg is wrong wiA it, I can tell when I go down Aere.” Sybil Was 'unconvAced. “I don’t like the sound of it,” she insisted stubbornly."'“What’s Ae address?” “North Beach,” Sybil said care lessly. .“North Beach? That’s certainly not a very good place for a girl to be working nights!’*.' “How do I look?” Joan asked. Exasperated, Sybil stared at her. Joan looked sophisticated, too so phisticated, Sybil Aought, because at-heart Joan .was just a kid. Sie didn’t know anything about life, or, about men.“Be careful, Joan! And come right home afterwards, will you?” “Of course! Stop AeatAg me like a child! I’ll call you after Ae interview,'if that will make you feel any better.” “I still don’t understand why Mul- ford fired you wiAouit notice or rea son,” Sybil pondered. “And why did he leave town, if Aat girl A tell- Ag Ae truA? By Ae way, ,What-A she doAg at Ae office at night?”“I don’t know. Of course I worked at night once A a while. Ifs strange that he should start a new girl at night. Lut an importing shop A a little different from a regular of fice.” “I don’t understand why he would hAe another secretary so quickly. Maybe she was lyAg.” “But why should she? And why should Mr. Mulford try to avoid me?” “I wouldn’t know,” Sybil admit- ted. “But I want you to be careful tonight.” • Joan, however, was not eyen thinkAg of her sAter’s waraAg as : she stepped from Ae street car Ato Ae damp, foggy streets of NorA Beach. WiA mountAg curiosity, she walked to Ae address given A the paper. “Why it’s a night club!” she said aloud as she paused under Ae long canopy that led to Ae street. A sign on Ae door informed, the passerby Aat Ae Ciub Elite would be open for business Ae following Saturday night. Joan pushed open Ae heavy door and went A.' She paused a mo ment to accustom her eyes to the dim light. To Ae right she could see a large room filled wiA gilded tables and chairs and a band stand which seemed to crowd a small dance .floor. A man appeared suddenly out of Ae shadows and surveyed her from head to foot before he said. “Well, what do you want?” Joan said uneasily, “I came about an ad Aat was A the paper for a secretary.” He seemed relieved. “Okay. Down Ae hall. Second door to Ae left. The boss will talk to you.” Joan, followAg instructions,, opened Ae door Ato a Arge mod ernistic office. A powerful built, blond man stood before a filing cab- Aet. He turned quickly as she entered. “I came about-Ae job advertised A the paper,” she. faltered. . He flashed her a quicksmilefrom steel-blue eyes. ' “Won’t you sit down?” His voice was tinged wiA. an accent.. Joan saw - a hard' face, almost grim, yet amusement hovered A As eyes. HA lips seemed not to move as he spoke. The hand Aat Adicated a chair was beautifully shaped, Ae . fingers taper- Ag and artistic. There was somethAg strangely magnetic about Ais man. “I am Karl Miller. And you?” “Joan Leland A my name. Until today I have been employed by an importing firm owned by Arthur Mulford.” “Ah?” He opened a large silver box and took out a cigarette. “I was A Ae importmg busAess myself, but Ae war stopped that. I am now openAg thA night dub. I need a secretary to take care of Ae office work.”“I’m sure you’ll find me satisfao tory, Mr. Miller.” “You have references, of course?” She hesitated. “No, Mt. Mulfqrd was called out Cf town and I have been unable to reach him.” “If you are able to do Ae work, that wjU be sufficient. I want you to be here at Aght, but you won’t have to come until early afternoon. Two hours off for dinner. The. salary A fifty dollars a week.” Her eyes widened. “Fifty dollars a week?” - ^ . HA expression did not change as he s Ad, “ConsiderAg Ae unusual , hours, I feel that a smaller salary - would not be fair recompense.’’ “I understand. When do you want me to start?” “Two o’clock tomorrow.”Joan rose to go. (TO BE CONTlNUIiDi r HE peacock—Ae symbol of pride! And you’ll be proud of miir herisnread if von embroider * pride!

JANUARY 28. 1942. THE DAYIE RECORD, C. FRANK STROUD - - Editor, TELEPHONE Entered attbe Postoffiee in Mocks- vllle, N. C.. as Second-class Mall matter. .March 3.1903 . 'SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE • $ I OO SIX MONTHS. FN ADVANCE - $ It is said the president has come out in favor of night baseball games. Politics is warming up in Forsy th cou ty, despite the war and high taxes. Two men have announced for Congress and one lady wants to go to Raleigh as r. legislator. The coal and wood dealers are anxiously awaiting groundhog day so they will know whether to put in extra large supplies of fuel. Here’s hoping the hog will come out of his winter quarters and stay out. ._______ If it was a good idea to cut out the legal manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages daring the days of the first world war, seems that it would be a good idea to do the same thing today. We never heard of liquor winning a war. With this country billed to spend a billinn dollars a week for the next tweive months, it seems that re trenchment is needed along many' lines. It Is time to cut out unneces sary and foolish spending of the taxpayers money. Tbe clocks throughout the coun. try are being turned up one Lour on Monday morning, Feb. 9th. The idea is to save electricity. If this is really true, why not cut out night baseball this year? It takes mnch electricity to light up the hundreds of ball fields throughout the coun' try for two or three hours every night. It will not be long until the poli ticians will be out shaking bands with the dear people and pleading with them for their votes. Despite the fact that this country is in war the various offices have to be filled. It is not long until these officers will have to be nominated. Good men should be chosen for all the offices— from township constable to United States Senator. Daylight Time Next Month. The House on Thursday com. pleted congressional action on day light saving time legislation to ad vance the nation’s clocks one hour on Monday, February 9th, at o’clock, a. m. To Decide On Time Since there are several viewpoints about what the schools should do about the matter of observing day* light saving time the county board of education desires to sound .'out sentiment a little further before- deciding what action will be taken;' The board wants to do what the'mo- jority of the people want. According to the county superintendent. sentiment seems to be in favor of opening schools one hour later, in other words open at nine- thirty davlight saving time, at least until the latter part of March. On the other hand, some feel that since there is a shortage of farm labor, the schools should observe daylight saving time now so that the blder boys can be released earlier for form work. The board of education will' pass upontbe matter Monday. In the meantime, the county superintend ent and principals wou d like to have expressions from patrons in- the va rious communities. Famed Male Dies In 44th Year. A 44-yearxtld mule that has been owned by Mrs Mary F. Carter of R. No. 4 for the last 39 years died last week. Named -‘'Roadie,” this mule could and'did .plow gardens and'truck patches when she was 42. Mrs. Car* ter said tbit* faithful mule helped to raise eight children, which are now all married and most with families. “Roadie” was bought when she was five years old. Biack and fat. she got sick in the barn lot. Neighbors and a son-in-law took a bed quilt, rolled "Roadie”' upon it and carried her inside the barn where she died a peaceful, comfortable death. Insofar as is kncwn “Roadie" was by far the oldest mule known in this section. Appoint Groundhog Committee. Next Monday, Feb. 2nd being grouodtlog day, we feel it our duty to appoint a committee of true and tried men from the Sheffield com munity, to assemble at the Wade Smith store in the town on Shef field, early next Monday morning to meet the said groundhog when he emerges from bis winter notne in the environs of Sheffield. The committee is urged to greet the said hog witb due solemnity, and beg that he will be merciful to us during the next forty days The committee is composed of the fol. lowing gentlemen: D. P. Dyson, R. N Smith, Tohn Black welder, H. G. I atnes, W. L. Gaither, D. L. Dyson, T. A. Gaith er, J. T. Smith, W. L Reeves, W. C. Parks, W. C. Richardson. D. S. Beck, Hugh Edwards, Dorsett Smith and Charlie Reeves. The committee will please send in tbeir report next week. Tobacco Canvas Short. Davie county tobacco farmers may have some difficulty In secnr ing enough canvas this winier to cover their plant bedi. The short age is said to be caused on account of the amount of the amount of canvas shipped to European coun tries to be used for bandages, gauze and other war purposes Much of this canvas is needed in Red Cross work, and for the United States army. The shortage may amount to one.third or one-fourth of the normal amount of this goods sold last year. Only Few Days Left. If you want any fresh rabbit, quail or ’possum you will have to get bufy, as there are but a few days left in which to hunt. The rabbit and bird open season expires next Saturday, Jan. 31st, and the ’possum law expires Feb. 16th. It is said that there are but few quail left in Davie county. Letter From Ft.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK Ready for Another Crack at Hitler’s Huns Studying SkiUar Ignoring Skutta By LEMUEL F. PARTON , (Consolidated Features-WNU Service.) TsJ EW YORK.—Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, ’ the anthropologist, once had a plan to measure the skulls of all congressmen, in his studies Bruinlndexera of head-size and contour in their rela tion to intel ligence. The congressmen didn’t like the idea and nothing came of it. Studying skills, rather than skulls, Dr. Leonard Carmichael, president of Tufts college, gets better co-operation. In August, 1940, the government put him at the head of a committee of sav- . ants to work up a national brain index. They have compiled an , index of _severa! hundred thousand good Brain?'. —=-•-•■ ThE committee was known as the Rational Roster of Scientific and Specialized Personnel, and now there has Eeen added to it a special committee on wartime requirements for specialized personnel, with Dr. Carmichael as chairman. The ob vious function of the committee is to find good brains and recruit them. Since the Srst World war, the clas sical Binet-Simon intelligence quotient has gained by sundry repairs and betterments. The inquiry now covers not only the question of whether we know much of anything but whether we have any sense. In 1920, we saw an experi ment in a progressive school in San Francisco which now seems pertinent to what Dr. Carmich ael and his committee are trying to do. They picked-a group of high I.Q. boys, of superior heredity and cultural background, and then, they picked some less'favored lads, of low I.Q. from the North Beach for eign section. They gave each child a certain amount of mon ey, told him to buy some thing,1 start trading and report gains or losses in two months. When the bell rang, most of the silk- stocking lads had lost their shirts and the North Beach mob had fanned its holdings up to sizeable juvenile fortunes. From this, the 'pedagogs figured something like survival intelligence as distinguished from merely superimposed and possibly non-converti ble cultural intelligence. It is un questionably survival intelligence that Dr. Carmichael and his brain- indexers are looking for, as their study has to do with particularized, specialized, useful, workable skills. Dr. Carmichael, one of the most distinguished of modern psycholo gists, was born in Philadelphia in 1898 , and was educated at Tufts and Harvard, and taught at Princeton and Brown before becoming presi dent of Tufts in 1938 . I") OWN near Windy Gap, on the KA edge of Death Valley, we knew a big, dead-pan cow-puncher who doubled in dancing and fighting, -fends k ' PreaidentQuezon w^10 couId Blenda Dancing, Ptditica Perfectly parts. Elsewhere, we have found this unique blend of talents only in Manuel Quezon, recently ' inducted into Ius second term as president of the Philippines. Sr. Quezon negotiated for Philip pine independence in the New York studio of Arthur Murray, the danc ing master. Dancing- is his art, his recreation and his driving passion. Four hours a day went to dancing when he was cutting the islands adrift—with second thoughts later. The first dancing shift was from 10 o’clock until noon. The hours from one to three went to Philippine independence, and then the dancing picked up from three to five. The bright-eyed, coffee-colored little man with the dazzling smile so captivated Woodrow _ Wilson that the President put a - declaration for Philippine inde pendence slap-bang into the Democratic platform. Bnt In the Hawes-Cutting bill, enacted in 1933, Senor Quezon found a oneway tariff squeeze, unsatisfac tory guarantees as to the atti tude of Pacific powers, and other defects, and started dancing and negotiating his way around these obstacles. He is said to be just about the Snartest politician in the business, e is university trained. His father Was a Filipino and his mother half Spanish. He smokes cigarettes in an endless chain, dancing or sit ting still, gesticulates. fluently and- turas the sharp spotlight of a keen, agile, realistic mind on matter in hand. He was wounded in the Philippine war for independence and for years strung with the jungle die- hards, somewhat embarrassed in his later career by the rampant and bellicose Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo*." President Quezon is 59. Picture at left shows Polish volunteers who recently arrived in Britain from’South America to join their : free Polish compatriots against the Nazis.

While in warmer weather, the family could raid the ice box, now the problem is slightly different, as hot food, satisfying but still simple, is in demand.Here’s a dish-that just seems to fit the bill: the broiled wienies and hot potato salad pictured above. Qf course', hot potato salad with wienies is an old favorite but there’s a touch of something new in the wienies broiled with cheese and the green beans around the potato salad to add a touch of color. *Broiled Wienies.Select two to three skinless frank furters for each person to be served, two will do nicely for the girls and women but better count three, for the men and boys. Split the frank furter and insert a strip of American, cheese. When almost ready to serve, pop into the broiler and cook until cheese melts and browns.Hot Potato Salad.

JESUS .CALLS FOUR DISCIPLES LESSON TEXT—Ltike 5:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT—Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers ol men. -M aik 1:17. Followers of Christ are those who have, not counted their goods nor their persons their own, but have willingly yielded, all to Him. Obvi ously many who profess to follow Him have only done so in that measure which will riot. interfere with their own plans arid interests. They need to study this lesson with caTe. The call of Christ is one which demands willing and wholehearted obedience. I. Yielded Possessions (w. 1 -3). These disciples had already re sponded to the ministry of Jesus and had followed Him for a time (see John 1 :35-4:54), but they ad not yet Imow the fullness of surrender to Christ and had now gone back to their old work of fishing. May they not be typical of many in our day who know the Lord and have for a time followed Him closely, but have again become en grossed in their daily vocation, per haps just making money? Jesus was now ready to call them out into a lifetime of service, and the first thing He did was to ask the use of their chief possession, their boat. That was first yielded to Him. It was not by chance that it was Peter’s boat which was just at hand when the Master needed it. Such things do not “just happen.” The destinies of men. are in the hands of GHTd1 and with His children the simplest happening is known to and controlled by Him. He who num bers the hairs on our heads, He who observes the fall of the sparrow, knows about everything that hap pens to us. n. Yielded Service (w .'4-7 ). Having completed His teaching by Word, Jesus had a special object lesson for Peter and the others con cerning the fruitlessness of service apart from His guidance and control, and the blessed results which come from obedience to Him. Taking them where he found them, He showed the disciples that He was the Master even of their secular vocation of fishing. He is the One who knows more about your business than you do, who can give or withhold His blessing. AU that we have has come to us from His hand, and it is all within His con trol. This Almighty One was. ready to call these fishermen out into the greater business of fishing for men by revealing to them His mighty power to bless and prosper the fish erman—who becomes a fisher of men. In. Yielded Lives (w. 8 -11 ). The giving of their possessions, the yielding of their work into His hands in obedience, led up to His call for the yielding of their lives. ' Often we speak of God’s claims upon the life of the Christian as though it were the fiat of an autocrat, one who demands his rights. God might well do so, for He has full authority and power over all of us, but He is a gracious God and gently leads His children along to the place where they make their own-decision -to leave all and-fol low Him. The work of God in the world is carried on by men. The joy of pro claiming the gospel was not given to the angels, but to redeemed men and women. Knowing the regener ating grace of God in their own lives, they have been called during all this Christian era to go out to tell others. In preparation for that ministry our Lord needed yielded lives, which He sought and found in these humble fishermen. Ttiey were “not visionaries or dreamers/ but were practical men with common sense. They had been disciplined in the school of common toil . . . Though unlearned so far as formal theolog ical training was concerned, these men were teachable. Under the tutelage of the Son of God Him- self they received -matchless infor mal training . . . . leading to a rec ord of service'which the world will never. forget. It is that sort: of teaching; that counts^ We,'too, may Ieam in the school of Christ, through a study of His Word, assisted by His Spirit, and through the yielding of otir lives to His control” (B. L. Ohhstead):"' Christ no longer walks this earth to seek' and cail out disciples as He did' these men; but the blessed suc cession of those of whom it may b£ said, .“They forsook all and fol io wedHim” (v. 11 ), continues to this day. We repeat, what we have said be fore, that one of the thrilling things about teaching Sunday school is that somewhere, in some class this next Sunday, God is going to touch the heart of some boy or girl who will be a leader for Him for the next generation.

MOCKSVILLE. H. C.. JANUARY 28.1942. Old Tribe Paint Helps U. S. Arm Black Earth Indians Used Contains Element That Toughens Steel. LAKE PLACID, N. Y.-Centuries ago the St. Francis Indians would bathe in the magical waters oi a lake deep in the Adirondack forests and then rub their bodies with the peculiar black soil near by to make them invincible to the fierce Ito - quois.Now the white men are chopping roads to the spot at Tahawus, near the headwaters of the Hudson river, to scoop up the same soil to make their “fire sticks” and “war birds'' strong against another enemy. The National Lead company will spend $5,000,000 reopening the long abandoned Tahawus iron mine to extract titanium, an element valu able for toughening steel. And the name given to the new mining settlement is “Elijah,” for the Iadian who guided pioneers to the place in 1826 for “a dollar and a half and tobacco.” Mountains Are Rugged. Once again the white man will try to whip Sie rugged mountains that reduced the earlier venture to a ghost town and since have protected the sacred waters of Lake San ford-believed by the Indians to give everlasting life—from all but a few hunters.Spurred likewise by the defense program, other large companies are pouring out several more millions of dollars reopening iron mines at Clifton, near Canton; at Port Henryt on the southwest shore of Lake Champlain, and at Benson mines, west of Tupper lake.The region of the developments is historic territory. In 1907 , Vice Pres ident Theodore Roosevelt whipped a. team of horses over the bumpy roads at night to get to Buffalo, where President McKinley had been shot by an assassin. Roosevelt had been vacationing at a hunting lodge near Tahawus. This also was the section traveled by flie abolitionist, John Brown, who proposed to transport slaves through the forests in a scheme to establish a free colony for Negroes.The titanium, used also for whit ening paint, is combined with the iron deposits that blacken the ground at Tahawus. It was estimated that 20,000,000 tons of ore lie be neath these outcroppings on the slopes of Mount Marcy, the highest peak in the Adirondack*. Indians Showed Them. The first miners in the area were skeptical when the Indian, Louis Elijah, entered their camp with a chunk of the rich ore and assured them, “Find ’m where water run over iron dam." But they followed him and the truth of the guide’s story may be seen today in a natural dam of iron, five-feet high, in one of the streams. Furthermore, according to records of the first par ty, whole sections of the upper Hud son river bed were found to be nearly pure iron. Archibald MacIntyre and his associates UL the party hurriedly staked claim to the land and finally acquired 105,000 acres, about two .townships, for 10 cents an acre. Their mine prospered and Tahawus ore won gold medals at the Phila delphia Centennial exposition in 1876 . MacIntyre grew, wealthy and served as state comptroller for several years. But transportation was difficult in the mountainous country, and when more accessible deposits were de veloped and operated more cheaply In Minnesota, Tahawus lost money. The mine closed in the Invents Tiny Black Box That Grades Diamonds ST. LOUIS.—A small black box that detects minute graduations o& color in diamonds was exhibited here. The tiny mechanism was developed after seven years of work. It instantly grades the color quality of diamonds, much more accurately, than the human eye. Another new development viewed by jewefers was a magnifying device that can instantly distinguish between real and synthetic emeralds. Private Boots. Sergeant In die Pants Just Once CAMP WOLTERS, TEXAS.—At least this is the story:When Harry D. Brunner, Brook lyn, N. Y., was promoted to be sergeant, a private barracks-mate, said: “All my life I’ve wanted to boot a sergeant in the seat of the pants. Now you and I are pretty good friends, so I’m asking you to grant me my wish.” And—it’s reported—the sergeant graciously complied. - NOTICE! HavingqaaIified as AdmlnUtratrix of the estate of W.

The best way to “cream the profits” from a home milk business is to skim off the lazy practices of not properly caring for your product— the milk. Farmers who keep a cow or several cows might tack on the wall of the barn following list of rules to be observed in managing cows and milk: Milk clean, healthy cows in a clean, well-ventilated place. Use a partly covered, small-top milk bucket. No rough edges or rusty spots. Milk with clean, dry hands.Take the milk from the stable or cow shed as soon as you’ve finished, strain and cool the milk.Set the fresh milk in a cool, airy place. Set pans or cans of milk in cold fresh water to cool it quickly and thoroughly.Stir water often—about every 10 minutes at first—less later on. Keep milk and cream in a well- ventilated place free from insects, rats, dirt, dust and odors.Don’t add warm milk or cream to cold milk or cream, unless you want to speed up souring. Rinse utensils, wash, scald with boiling water, diy, sun and air them promptly.- Scrub them in warm water with a brush—not a dish rag. Don’t dry them with a towel.H you sell cream, deliver it twice a week in winter. A G R IC U LTU R E IN IN D U STR Y >By Florance C. Weed ' (T his i t one of a series of articles shewing how farm products axa Ondiag an importAnt markat in industry.) • Tobacco—Many Uses An additional income of $7.50 an acre will be available to American tobacco growers if tobacco seed can be utilized in this country. In India, Bulgaria and Jugoslavia, an oil is extracted from tobacco seed which resembles sesame seed in taste and smell. Since it is not thick and penetrates tissues easily, it may prove useful in the manu facture of hair oils, glycerine, paints, varnishes and soap. In India, the cake left after the oil is ex tracted, is fed to sheep and goats. Still another possible use of the cake is in fertilizer. All of these new uses of seed would not interfere with cultivation or harvest of the tobacco leaf. In the United States, the 1 ,848 ,652,- 000>pound crop is grown primarily for cigars, cigarettes, chewing and smoking tobacco and snuff. About 10 per cent is cigar leaf and the rest is “manufacturing tobacco.” North Carolina produces the most, fol lowed by Kentucky, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee.- Some of the crop goes into insecticides in which the nicotine is ex tracted, combined with oil and used as a spray for moths and garden pests. Other new applications to farm pests are being sought by-re search workers. Experiments are being made to produce a new nonsmoking tobacco, specifically for in dustrial uses. Recsnt discoveries show that it will be used effectively in the field of medicine. The United States grows about one- fourth of the world’s tobacco crop, uses more than any other country, and imports more. The greatest area extends from Kentucky to Maryland and from central Ohio to North Carolina. Cigar tobacco is produced in Connecticut, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio. ~ A G R IC U LTU R E IN IN D U STR Y IBy Hogenoe O. Weed Improve Manure Value With Superphosphate Farm manure’s value as a fall <arid winter fertilizer is greatly in creased by the addition of superphosphate. The superphosphate not only prevents nitrogen loss in the manure, but adds another important plant food element—phosphorus—an element that is IacMng in all ma nures. “Methods of applying it may vary according to farm conditions,” says a statement.of the Middle West Soil Improvement Cc-mmittee, “but perhaps the simplest way is to scatter one or two pounds of super phosphate per animal per' day in the gutter or trough -where manure is collected. By this means the su perphosphate is evenly distributed through the mixture.” A g ric u ltu ra l N otes Grain for dairy cattle should be' ground, but fine grinding may be harmful because such feed has too little bulk to be used most efficiently by cows. Hogs to, be butchered should not be fed for 24 hours /before killing but should get all/ the water they, want. Fasted hogs bleed'out better and dress more easily.

Peanuts are used com mercially in more than 300 products including shaving lotions, dyes, lino* leum, axle grease and wood stains. Every part of the plant may be used to advantage. When properly cured, the peanut vines make edible hay for stock which compares favorably with clover and alfalfa. The shells have been crushed into insulating boards.Co-operative Marketing .associa tions of the peanut-growing states, have banded together in a National Peanut council which aims to in crease the use of peanuts. About 200,000,000 pounds are made into peanut butter annually. Salted pea nuts appeared first in 1887 .At the New Orleans region’s re search laboratory of the U. S. department of agriculture, scientists are working on the processes.of extracting peanut oil and its use as a lubricant in the textile industry to replace imported olive and linseed oil. Shelled peanuts contain 40 to 50 per cent oil and fills is often substituted for olive oil in food. Largest Rural Network What is believed to be the world’s largest rural electrification network connects areas in the adjoining states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa, according to Rural Electrification News. The generating plant of the Tri-State Power Cooperative— largest yet constructed in the REA program—is located near Genoa, Wis. It is serving 11 farmer-owned distribution co-operatives, and has an installed capacity of 8,000 kilowatts. .Two additional turbo-gener ators, each with a capacity of 5,000 kilowatts, are to be installed. Ife 400 miles of transmission lines, distributing electricity at 34,500 volts, branch out in aU directions to large areas in. the three states. 127 Midget Ships Added to Program PUmned to Meet Shortage In Cargo Vessels. ' WASHINGTON.—Confronted with an immediate shortage of merchant shipping, pending delivery of mass tonnage of Liberty ships and other cargo vessels now on the ways, the United States maritime commission announced that it plans to build 127 smaller special-type vessels which can be constructed without interfer ing with the larger shipbuilding program. Some are alrer / under construction. The new program will consist of 16 small Diesel coastal-type tankers, 25 seagoing geared-Diesel tugs, 26 Diesel harbor tugs, 45 small cargo ships of a/British design known as coasters, and 15 concrete barges for transport of bulk cargo. The small Diesel tankers are based on existing design. The Diesel-geared tugs will be 185 feet long and, except for horsepower, among the largest ever built. The design is new. The latest type of such tugs afloat are Dutch models of from j},000 to 4,000 horsepow er, but this has been cut to 2,250 horsepower by maritime commis sion specifications. If necessary, these tugs could tow across any oceaiv but they are primarily intended for use in Gulf and AmericSn coastal waters. The navy useS a somewhat similar tug to tow targets. :?• ■' The harbor tugs are to have 1,000 horsepower delivered by direct-drive Diesels. They are to be 100 feet in length, equipped with towing machinery. There are no set specifications for the harbor tugs and they may be designed either by the commission or privately. IAiesf Bending Swinging round the circle to see where soil conservation is working and where farmers are still losing too much of the soil that they might be saving, Dr. H. H. Bennett of the U. S. department of agriculture found that out in “the region of straight' line plowing,” the contour method is making progress. More than half the com in the typical Com Belt county of Montgomery, in Iowa, was planted on contour this year. None was continued in 1937 . America’s War Victims Appeal for Your Help First war poster of the new World War, painted by the distinguished artist James Montgomery Rlagg, carries an appeal ISr a WMMXMMO war fund to aid the victims of aggression upon the United IutW and Its Island possessions.
