QuickdeniaIofthereport that PresidentTcuman wouldn’t choose to run in 1048 was expected. Bro­ ther Hannegan, the national De­ mocratic'chairman, says it isn’tso. Mr. Truman will run. He has to run. If he shouldn’t it would be regarded as confess­ ion of party failure as an admin­ istration. Even if defeat should stare him in the face, along with the party’s control of the govern­ ment, he would have to run, have to go down fighting. Nominatioh of another Demo­ crat would be an admission that the party had failed for about three vears and that would never do. Mr. Truman probably ,would be glad to step out now if it were en­ tirely a personal matter. After a brief period of good feeling, the water became boiling hot and he has been having to jump from some frying pan into'some fire. Reconversion programs proved to be' the biggest flop in an econo­ mic way that the nation has ever seen. Labor troubles, distribution troubles and pronuction troubles have multiplied and there is now IfesS food, clothing, building ma­ terial and other things needed than the day the jap war ended. The President has broken with Congress and practically none of his program has beenfadopred. But no matter what happens, he can,t stop; he must sit on the lid and a very hot Ud it is. ; How pleasant it was in die. Senate!

Harry Closed Shop Abases While thare are vaid arguments for the closed shop, there are even more powerful ones against it, and it is always union abuses that fur. uishes them, as the following case reported by the Grand Rapids Her aid shows: A "3 9-vtar old Artny veteran/ with two years' service in, the Paci Ge, charged Thursday of last week that he bad been deprived of his job. at a local brewery, because union workers decided he worked too hard. ' The veteran, Charies F. Same- lot, told the director of the veter an’s counselling center, three nnion members told him his work permit card bad been suspended when he approached the time dock Tnurs day morning. The union has. a closed shop agreement with the union. The secretary,ot. the union's . Io cat, No. 25 4 . verified the charges, saying- Samelot was ' 'doing .two men's work. We wan’t to keep as many of out members working, he sai j; and>wben somebody does two men’s work he’ keeping some, bodv else out of a job ” Samelot was described as Very Mtisfactory by a . brewery spokes man who said the management would like to remain on the job. However,” he added, ’’The un ion lias canceled his card.’’" It is intolerable practices of this sort that make enemies for the la bor movement. No organization should bave the right to deny an individual the right to earn .’a liv. tug, and none should discourage an aifibitiotts worker who strives to get ahead by doing more; than his sbate.

He goes on to sav: The President himself in his boog-le gth message to Congress January 19 prodded the clinching evidence. In that message, the Pre sident combined tbe annual “S’ate of the Union” report and budget estimate for tbe next fiscal year. The legislative part of iha of tha message was not startling, though from tbe standpoint of Ihe nation's welfare it could well be deemed de pressing. It was a warning over of all of the vote catching proposals which be and bis predecessor have been trying to force through a re hellions Congress (Iominited by member* of their own purty) for months It was in the budget report that the President really showed bis jand. He proposed expenditures for the Peacetime fiscal year be­ ginning July I, aggregating ap­ proximately ,ThiHv Six Billion Dollars: That is just about fotfr times the amount of tbe prevtpus peacetime budget ‘fiscal year 1941) asked by the late President Roose­ velt. who was never accused of par­ simony with respect to spending oublic money. Furthermore, Ur. Truman ad­ mitted he sees no chance of spend­ ing less than 25 billion dollars per year during the remainder of his term. ■ But that is not all. budgetary affairs were qnick point out thit it the President has has his way the total of the 1947 budget will be tar moro than $3 6,- 0 0 0 ,0 0 0.0 0 0.

The Pattern Was clear. The Truman Administrationf seeks to re­ tain power by containing the hal­ lowed NewDeaI system of using the Federal Treasury' as a cam­ paign fund—thus following the course charted by other nations in which a descent to one form 0 an other of. totalitarianism was alwavs preceded‘by a disruption of the na­ tion's financial system. That the President's course was approved, by tbe left Ving was evident quickly On January ’17,. just two days be­ fore the President’s, message was delivered to Congress (b y after it had been written and printed) tbe Wbite-House calling list included the name of Sidney Hillman, Chair, tnan of tbe C- I. 0 .

Badly Overdone For More t han,.ten days now the ears of all American radio- listeners have been bombaided on almost every new broadcast with repeti tions material about the progress of several Catholic prelates from this country and one from China on their wav to Rome to he made car. dioals oi the Roman Catholic chnrsh.

STEEL CARTEL FILES WASHINGTON.—Dozens of G.I. investigators have been working since the shooting war stopped to help win another war. TWs is a war against international big busi­ ness. wWch recognized no national boundaries, which used countries only as market' divisions for its •products, and which at one time aid­ ed Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito just as much as it did France and Eng­ land. What the G.I. investigators have uncovered in Germany is a tribute to Nazi thoroughness and to the gullibility of American big business. For what it amounts to is a world plan by which Germany expanded its industrial capacity for war while simultaneously curbing the industri­ al capacity of this country and other potential enemies. And the names of the satne men who have been Wickering with Tru­ man over steel—Ben Fairless, Eu­ gene Grace, et al.—have turned up Si European files as part of the car­ tel wWch unwittingly played into the hands of the Nazis. It is a story which the leaders of the steel in­ dustry would like to forget. But the justice department hasn’t for­ gotten it. American participation in the steel cartel was decided upon ' as late as 1937—when there was no longer any doubt regarding Hit­ ler’s warlike intentions. By that time he had already invaded the Rhineland, showed his hand by sending arms to Franco, and boast­ ed openly in speech after speech that Germany would dominate Eu­ rope.The steel cartel hies, seized In Luxembourg, reveal that S. M. Bash of Bethlehem Steel and A. G. MundlevOf U. S. Steel took the initiative in binding their companies to the cartel. Four months later an' agree­ ment to divide up world mar­ kets was reached. ANTITRUST ACT The steel barons were careful about the Sherman antitrust act, however, and' the minutes of the June, 1937, meeting reveal that no written agreement regarding U. S. markets was concluded.In February, 1938,a delegation of European steel men came,, to the United States.“Our representatives," the Luxembmirg files showed, “ob­ tained a very clear declaration of responsibility for the agree­ ments from" Messrs. Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel, Ben Fairless of U. S. Steel, Rufus Wysor of Republic Steel, Frank FurneIl of Youngstown Sheet and Tube, M. Hackett of Jones and Laughlin Steel, Charles Hook of Armco International, William Holloway of Wheeling Steel, Robert Wolcott of Lukens Steel, and Ernest Weir of the NationalSteelcorporation (Weir- ton and Great Lakes steel). Also included in the American group were Inland Steel, Newport Rolling Mills, Pittsburgh Steel, Otis, and the Allan Wood company. RACE FOR WAR What the steel barons agreed to was not only a division of markets but arrangements for price-mainte- nance. Quotas -were set regarding the total production of each partici­ pating company, with fines levied against the firm if it exceeded its quota. However, here is the pay-off. The Germans always exceeded their quotas, after which they politely paid their fines and then kept on speeding their output of steel in the race for war. Meanwhile, Aiiierican and British firms stayed within their quotas and kept down their war ma­ chine. In contrast with the Germans, American firms, when they exceed­ ed their quotas, were contrite and apologetic. For instance, here is an item from the steel cartel minutes of April 18, 1939, which read: “In regard to a recent ship­ ment by the AmeHean group to Belgium, i.e., a home market, the American representative stated that he was taking this matter up with hist group in order to avoid a recurrence." How the cartel worked is also il­ lustrated by a cable sent by Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel to Sir Charles Wright in .London, dated January 12, 1938, which read: “Glad to have your message and talk with Elliot. I feel sure there will b% no question about perforih- ance of member companies. Our only difficulty will oome from out­ side and uncontrolled interests.' It will be our hope to protect prices and bring all influence possible on uncontrolled interests.

While the Veterans’ administration is still several weeks behind on va­rious phases of its work, it has made tremendous headway during the past two months towards keeping its business current, according to Gen. Omar N. Bfadey, director. This tremendous agency is now handling the insurance, job training, farm, home and business loans, pensions and other features of vet­ erans’ benefits for more than13 mil­ lion veterans and a potential busi­ ness of 20 millibn veterans. To do this job it is short of office help, in medical help and in staff­ ing its hospitals. Here are a few statistics as of February I showing how far behind schedule the admin­istration is on handling its business —out of 500,000 applications for training under servicemen’s read­ justment act, 91,176 are in training, 258,781 have been declared eligible and the balance are pending; on in­ surance, the department is about 20 days behind and is now handling direct premium payments on 1,073,- 712 policies with 10,357,788 policies being paid by allotment; there are itiore than 2 ,000,000 disability claims on file , with 1,567,000. adjudicated, 1,038,000 allowed and 458,000 pend- •fig. ; . This office has received scores of letters asking when they will re­ ceive pensions, when they will re­ceive subsistence checks. To all such inquiries we can only advise patience, since we believe the VA is.doing all it can underthe circum­ stances. ' >■ Questions and Answera Q. I have a brother in toe army to Italy, He has been overseas 13 months. His parents are 65 years of age and .have no one at home with them. W oulditbe possibie to get him discharged because of ms parents’ age and heatili? i Il so, where would I write for particn- ars?—A reader, East Lake, Minn. A. Application for -a “hardship" discharge must be .filed by the sol­dier with his commanding officer. It might help if the parents also filed all particulars with, their local Red Cross, since the army asks the Red Cross to' investigate the case eventually. Q. Where would a person find out the Retails as to where wives of servicemen overseas are able to make application for transporta­ tion to Japan when they are per­mitted to join their husbands?— Mrs. L. W., Omaha, Neb. A.. The war department says all such applications must originate with the soldier who files his appli­ cation with his commanding officer. Q. I 'would appreciate receiving- Information concerning civilian oc­ cupations which may be compara­ ble to assignments held by officers' while in service, particularly that of adjutant.—C. R. F„ Long Branch, N. J. A. Your nearest office of the Unit­ ed States Employment service will, have a list of occupations available.; Q. My husband- was a World War; I veteran. I filled outa blank for pension December ~ 14, 1945. Do you know how long before l will get it? Win I get $45? How much will my . two boys get, one 16, toe other 14 years old?—Mrs. P. S., Lilbourn, Mo. . > ■ Al You do not give sufficient in­formation. If your husband’s death was -service-connected, you might get $50, plus .$15 for the first child and $13 for each additional minor child: if not service-connected, $35 plus $10 for the first and $5 for each additional child.'. If you have filed your claim and given all particu­ lars, the Veterans’ bJministration will determine toe correct amount in due time. Q.- I am a disabled . veteran of Worid War I with a 15 per cent dis­ability rating. Due to this disabil­ ity and heaif ailment,, am unable to work. How can I get this rating raised? It was granted in 1928— W. J. E.,' Columbia City,; Iqd. - A. The VA says you should, make application to jh^ regional office where • your y original rating was granted for a i re-examination. If the rating board says you are en- titled to an increased disability rat­ ing, it will be granted. ; Q. I have a son Who has beenih. the ; army signal corps almost 33 months and my wife mid I are, all alone on a large farto, We would like to know if there is a 'possible chance of. him getting.; home tola ; spring, or if we eould-try to get him . home?—H.; S. B., Carlton, Minn. A .'I .would say there is a good chance for him to be' home this spring,, since Genera) Eisenhower has said ,all men with 30 months' service as of April 20, or with 45 points, will be home opon their way home by April 30 this year.

She had one more chance,' in the race which w'ould /olio® the_Greenway race that afternoon. TyBut certainly she Was nothing to count on now. ' “And,” .went on Bob, "remember the things you were going to do for the ranch. Wooden fences. Clear off the debts."

As much as his Wild life woidd be?”; '- ; Rob hedged. 4Well, Ken, you know how I fed about horses.

He said, suddenly, “He’ll.run. And he’ll win.” The words went through . Rob like the twang, of a string and caused him the.emotion he always frit when one of his boys took a stride toward manhood. . His band came down on Ken’s arm andsqueezedit. The other hand reached for his hat. “Come on, son! We’ll go out and see to getting Thun- derhead’s shoes changed.” They walked out to the stables to­gether,, and if anything more had been necessary to crystalize Ken’s determination, it was the remark his father made as they reached Thun- derhead’s stall. “Of course, Ken, if he doesn’t win, and if we have to take him. back, you realize I cah’t have him around .the ranch any more. I’ll have to sell him for any­thing I can get—and that means gelding him first.” - Ken came to a dead stop. “But dad! ' I’d get him off the ranch. He’d gd back to his valley!” “But he wouldn't stay," said Bob simply, “and sooner or later he’d 'get in a fight with Banner—and, well -ryou know what that means.

Free of his rider, ThuBderhead de­ cided to join in the race. Hefloated over the rail again—and the beau­ tiful easy leap drew a gasp from the grandstand—and -then he started to, overtake the field. Again it grew, like an orchestral crescendo—the roar of the grandstand—until the white horse closed the distance be­ tween himself and the rest of the field. ' Thuhderhead did nbt know when, to stop.- He floated on when-the race was over and the winner pro­ claimed and the other horses were walking back into the paddock.; At­ tendants ran out on the tiraok-asfl tried to stop-him.

Ylhen Thunderhead^ vanished be­ yond the grove of willows south- of the race track, Ken fought through the crowd' behind' himt under ' the grandstand- oiit- at thq back and around the west end ’of the track.

Seems that we are going to eat black bread in spite of the fact that we grew more wheat lastyear than die bam s would hold. England wants to borrow four billion dollars from us; France wants two billion, with Russia, Japan, Germany and Spain yet to be heard from. Democtats who were praising Trum an a few short months ago. are now declaring that he is not m an of presidential calibre. It : a for cry from the office of a Jus­ tice of die Peace to ,the Presiden­ cy. Harry may have made a gooc I J.P. _________ W e notice that a number, of ex-service men are filing for var­ ious county. State and Federal of­ fices, ranging from clerk of eourt to sheriff and Congress. T hem en who went across and risked their lives for their country should not be forgotten in the mad scramble for office.______________ According to the Gallop- Poll, President Truman’s popularity is on the decline. Seems like Har­ ry is getting in bad with a lot of New Deelers and Iekes Democrats. It is a far cry from Justice of die peace to die Presidency. Many Democratic papers think Truman is not a big enough man to fill the presidential chair. W e are still happy over the fact that Henry Wallace wasn’t Vice - President when Roosevelt died. Three of die original Big Four New Dealerr are now out of the picture. Roosevelt and Hopkins Jiave been called to their ,eternal regard; Harold lckes has called Truman a liar, or words to that effect, and has been relegated to die rear. Only Henry Wallace, die drowner of pigs and plower up of cotton, is left to tell of the glories of a fading fool’s paradise.

In YIiese United States ^ - Kaw Piiver Has StoSen 145 o f 175-A creFarm ST. MARYS,• KANS.—When Ferdinand!* Wild .renewed his, subscription recently to the St, Marys Star, he remarked wist­ fully that he would be a lucky fellow if fee could renew his land to easily. A retired farmer, nowin his mid-seventies, Mr. Wild.-is certain he' stands first in the busi­ness of surrendering high-priced soil to the Kaw river. Back in 1918, when he bought the farm where he lives south of the xiver, Mr. Wild held title to 170 acres of fertile bottom land on the Wabaunsee -county side of the riv­ er south of St. Marysi Since that time, however, the cave-ins and ero­ sion have frisked him of all but 25 acres of the farm. s ' Up and down the ungovernable stream he has neighbors who can iecall losing 20 acres here and 40 acres over yonder as the swollen Zjiw has taken its toll each spring and fall. But Ferdinand believes he is in a class by himself. His finest land has vftiished during the last quarter of a* century—land that observers valued at more than $20 ,000. Across the ri^er on this side, he-' stOl has a hundred acres of good sral that has rarefy been clipped by cave-ins. But the record was al­ most as disastrous.in 1945. Over­ flows that came often during the; high water last spring played an­ other trick on philosophical Ferdi­ nand. From the hundred good acres on the north side hS> raised a crop that looked like the fag-end of a drouth season in the mid-thirties —600 bushels of corn. r n / \ Ferdinand hag heard that ~the war years were great years for the farmer. ~%J- “Maybe so, maybe so," he mut­ ters, “but which year and- which' farmer?” Force Veti y +Are Organized WASHINGTON.—A new national veterans organization, for members of the air forces of World Wars I and Il. hasfbeen set ifypmilh former' Lt.

Doolittle fold reporters here that the organization is. non-profit and “fc no ax to grind of a _ com m ercial ria- DoohtUe ture.” It will be known as the AFA, the Air ForCe association- ■- • Key figures of the organization called on President Truman to in­ form him of the AFA and its -aims. The organizers include such former air force men as Col. Willis S. Fitch, its executive director; Sgt. Forest Vossler, Syracuse' university, hold­ er of the Congressional Medal of Honor; Lt. Col.

What a Day for Rancher In California! ■KERMAN, CALIF.i—Roy Bowers, Kerman rancher, will Iiever forget Januuy' 16, 1946, for oil that day: He had to get out of a warm bed very early. Ice formed on the windshield of his car. . The motor stopped .and wouldn’t start again. He lost a race with the stork. And his honse* caught fire while he was awsiy. “It all started when Bowers was farced to get up from a warm bed because the stork couldn't wait/* the Kerman News reported. “He had'to rushhis daughter, Mrs-Lola Stewart, to a Fresno hospital. ;• “All WjBnt well until^ce formed on the windshield of the car and Bowers had to get lout and start scraping. Then the motor refused to run. rAfter a few ^ grinds from the.starter Bowerswent to a near-; . by , farm house to . seek assist-’ taice: When he returhed to his car Bbwers found,. that. stork, had proven too much of a match and ha was now a proud grandfather; the bab& had , arrived.” „e in Kerman tEat day,' his rancfl house caught fire, with no one at hj&me to fight it.

I s COMMERCIAL fertilizer s nat- *• ural resource which should be controlled and conserved by the gov­ernment from the Taw materials to. thefinisheti' product? . '' V / . ’ •Your Home Town Reporter can go along %a*t' way on the answer to that question, which is now a source of hot controversy in Wash­ ington. As a matter of fact, the government already went pirt way as a-matter of policy, when congress authorized the Muscle Shoals plant in northern Alabama.. Commercial fertilizer is .taken from the soil in the form of raw phosphate, potash, nitrate, Hme and other ingredients and, as a finished product, jiut back Atto worn-ont soil which hfs been divested ot’these minerals by decades of firming and natUral soil erosion. Hence, in­ sofar as^ conservation of soil:is con­ cerned, it Is as much a natnral re­ source as water or the top 96il upon which we are spending millions of doll^rs in conservation: practices. Without sufficient fertilizer, . we can’t grow good crops and there is widespread opinion- here that the government as a' national; policy should do something about reserves of phosphate and potassic minerals to insure maintenance of .the na­ tion’s soil resources. But whether or not the government should go into khe fertilizer business 'on a , large, scale is another and a very much debated question, ^!though there are three bills now before congress "which provide that it shall.' Foundation I* Neutral This writeKhas told you about the formation and some of the opera­ tions and objectives of the founda­ tion for American Agriculture^ ,An­ other objective covers this questioa- of commercial -fertilizer. The foun­ dation already has a committee, of experts at work going into this question of mineral fertilizer re­ serves and is .considering on a' non­ partisan and non-prejudicitd-i basis, all phases of need,.manufacture and distribution jof commercial fertili­ zer. As,to the' three bills, the founda­ tion is neutral, and is acting merely as a fact-finding and research or­ ganization. • Not so the American Plant Food council which, by a strange coinci­ dence, occupies offices' adjacent to the same suite‘as the. foundation in the: National. Grange Biulding here. The APFC is headed'by Clifton A. Woodrum of Virginia; who resigned his 23-year-old seat ,as a congress­ man to take the jqb. The ,APFC represents private manufacturers of fertilizer,, although it doesThave some farmer cooperatives in ' its membership. "Mr. -Woodrum says the whole fertilizer industry is dead against the three bills in question. The farm bureau and the formers union are backing the bills? un­ reservedly. The grange is mpre or less on the fence and the National CouncU of Farmer Co-operatives has tokeh'.iiOi action, adopting a-sort Of tongue-in-cheek la^tit^de, . although some of its eastern. and gulf 'terri­ tory members'-ate’ opposed; Many ProvUiona in Bill . ^ , One of. these fertilizer , bills was introduced in the, senate by 'Sena- tors IdSter Hill and John^-fiank- head of Al&Bama.-rAn identical bill was put. &to 11>e,'house hopper by Rep.

Then, just enough water is added to make the'mix hold together.-. - Some women are. so afraid, to use water in. pie crust, that , they haye a : crumbly instead: of a flaky criist. The ideal way is to use just enough, and to work that in thoroughly; It is not necessary to use more than one-third cup of fat to one cup of flour. Salt and water are the only other Ingredients’. If desired, the fat caiube worked into the flour which has been salted, and the mix­ ture'allowed to stand in the refrig-* erator until it’s time to' make the pie. . To blend fat and flour together, a pastry blender is a great help. This should nbt'be attempted by hand as the hands are always warm, and this will cause the shortening to melt and give I less flaky result. ' No definite guide can be given'as to the' watir which must be added.

Why Not Grow Better Sweet Com? -CbMo Ooortesr Fsrry-Uorm aood 0» Whtfy your favorite garden vegetable? ‘^toutin' ears!” you can bear whole fnmilins ihouting in the Southern “Com-on-the-cob!” exclaim the Northern folks. Irs the same every. Sweet com is even more American than “hot dogs’. StiHng the war many Victory Gardeners discovered the real flavor of sweet B for the first time. They found+ that all the luscious sweetness is pre­ served Iqr cooking the ears as soon as tfcay are picked. When they are al­ lowed to lie around half a day before boiling or roasting, much of the sugar turn to starch, and there’s a flat, un- qpetlzlng taste. Because garden-fresh sweet com is bouod to be a “must” for many peace­ time homes, here are a few tips on how to enjoy even better results than ]> the past. ; B you have been growing white com op to now, why not adventure with •taie of the yellow types? Many think Ifae flavor richer, and most experts agree that yellow com is superior in vitamins. Some of the new yellow hy­ brids have certain advantages over the ’elder types. The ears are large, the ;W d unusually heavy for the space ; occupied, and most hybrids are resist- i mi to certain plant diseases. Golden I Cnm Bantam does well almost every- : where; loana is a favorite in southern ! anas; Marcross is especially adapted to I Mcthem gardens. i Vhete com diseases are not common, j State of the regular varieties still take I Incidence, | Many gardeners think surpasses the flavor of true Golden Bantam. And fortunate folks who have had a chance to idnk their teeth into the deep milky kernels of Ferry’s Golden want nothing else in their sweet com patch. 'Whatever the variety, several short rows should be planted to form a oom- pact plot, rather than one or two long rows. This is to make sure that the wind will carry pollen to every silk on every ear for only in that way can all the kernels develop. Whether Iqrbrids or regular types of com are grown, be sure to put in sev­ eral plantings ten days to two weeks apart instead of sowing all the seed at once. Extend your sweet corn eating time over as long a season as possible. Take courage if you have been a Idt discouraged because of the com borer or ear worm.. There are more preven­ tives this year and fairly simple ways to combat the pests. Begin early if you suspect a com borer attack. Apply rotenone dust liberally on the plant just before the ears form.. Do this four more times, five days apart. To out­ smart the com ear worm, wait until the ear has formed and Uie silk has dried. Snip off the dried silk dose to the husk, or apply mineral oil at the ear tips. Let’s Grow VegetabIfes of Finer Flavor —Photo Oonrtny Terrj-MoTM Swd Co.

That’s the way to get true cerrot flavor. Put in a row or two ef Nantes this season alongside the varieties you usually plant. Compare fee flavors. Nantes is the one with blunt rounded ends which - many gardeners especially like, snap .beans vary enough so Aat choice of varieties can affect your oajoyment in eating them. The del- Ioate flavor of brittle, golden yellow Ptndl Pod is unsurpassed. Or, per- hapi you prefer, green beans.

JritiUf Initiatire Tht n o ol a drainage engineer, who bad don* a great deal of super­ visory work with and for Us fatter, was inducted into the United States Atroy during the war. Before he had grown familiar with -discipline he found himself digging a ditch to divert surface water from camp. His instructions had been verbal and reasonably plain but were not pre­ cise in every detail. - ■«The youth had some knowledge of soil drainage and a real interest in it, so he set about to distinguish him­ self with good workmanship.- When he was nearly half finished, his ser­ geant appeared, ruddy with indigna­ tion. Firmly the sergeant denounced the breach of discipline, going be­yond orders. The recruit was con­ fused and made a second mistake, speaking in his own defense. Central Plamdnc “But,-Sergeant, I thought. . ” "Oh, you thought!” scornfully echoed Us superior. “What right have you got to think? Are you drawing a thinking man’s payt” Sudi is regimentation) The young man was not In school, where su- Ssrior work yields superior grades, a was not In business, where better work means better pay. He was In the army. This is not a criticism of military discipline or army efficiency. I am no military expert. I use this story to illustrate how regimentation kills initiative. By the very nature of its workings, it is destructive of progress in peaceful pursuits. In despot-ruled countries, things hap­ pen to all thinking civilians very much like what the young recruit experienced. Competttfam a Remedy - In lands where authority is com­ pletely centralized, strict obedience to orders is matter of gravest importance to private Individuals. However wise and kind the dictator, when power-hungry henchmen reach into what we Americans call private business (as invariably they do) progress is paralyzed. Farmers and all other workers learn from unhap* Dy experience to do as they are told, period. - Admittedly, parallel things happen occasionally in private enterprise' but competition corrects them. Sometimes owners of businesses be­ come indifferent, Uve apart from their interests and try to run live industries by dictum, as if methods they worked out years ago were eter­ nally right. These cases develop their own cure quickly. Bvny of­ fice and every shop of sueh a pro­ prietor becomes a hatchery of p*. tential competitors. Efflcieney Bewarded American business in general la operated with an aim to get mask mum yield per hour ef work. Ex­ ecutives and supervisors exist for as other purpose. More yield per hour means better wages' for workers, more profit for management and IoWte prices tor buyers who con­ sume what is produced. Tbs newest recruit on any Job can get paid tor an Idea that improves production. Amcrica is famous as the beat place on earth to live. Many peo­ ple know tt who don’t know why, ta t here's why: In America, ideas count. No matter who originates them, thty have. value. AnyboAr with an idea is free to use H and, if it's good, we all benefit. Thus, Americans live better than people under centrally planned systems ^hare only the few think who are appointed to think. King Customer Catering to the customer has been America’s most profitable and high­ ly diversified craft for several gen­ erations, and it must never stop if this country is to stay great'and free. Catering to the customer is an hon­ orable and interesting activity, and there is nothing to stop it but man- made laws. May they aww .be enacted! Certainly. 1946 is no time to experiment with silly ideas. Take the automotive industry for an example. It is probably the *«*» example. Automobile men have ;gone to great lengths to please the Amerfoan buyer. . His wish for Speed has been served, seasoned with safety. H isneedasto seating cawiatr. hie taste in„ desien, .l)is whfin Hf color, and (most impottant) his buying power, have been taken into account. • Result: A car fo ra king. Primitive Notions Perhaps the first time a car manu­ facturer decided suddenly to rip the Jnsides Oui of his plant and' put in new machinery to give EJng Customn a better dollar’s worth, the stockholders winced. Maybe, in that long-gone day, stockholders con­sidered such expenses wasteful, bAt they learned better. Catering to the cuiiomer is exactly what makes dividends grow bigger each year. We may imagine also that, bade in the early days of the horseless carriage, some factory workers wor­ ried about their Jobs for a while aft­ er lower prices were, announced. Probably , some good workmen asked,"How long can the big boss keep paying us after he starts giv­ ing his profits to the consumer?” Thesa doubters are wiser now too, same as the old-style stockholders. Imitating Nobody Yearly better machines, more handsome and less costly, have built big industries and created thousands of good jobs. Wage earners and stockholders prospered together while shrewd management studied King Customer’s needs and met them. When the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor the United States had one automobile for every four people —one for each 159 people In the rest of the, world. American manufacturers know the route that leads to national pros­ perity. Just the same, they are be­ ing urged to turn aside and try a course completely strange to west­ ern industry^ It’s an old jungle road that has lost many great races in poverty. It means business servile to power. It means opening private records to be thumbed at will by partisan fact-finding committees. Looking for WhatT Sudi a committee will be con­ cerned with wages — only with wages. It will have small interest in prices of cars to the user; less In returns to investors. Its job will- be to say what wages an employer is able to pay. Rightly, wages are de­ termined by a workman's ability to produce. Tiie new concept seems to be that an employer’s savings have a bearing on wage levels. Such a scheme would ear-mark for wages all but a paltry share of a firm’s earnings and investors would turn away. Oownwouldcome cash reserves, plant equipment and output. Quality would suffer, prices would advance and sales drop off. Paying men, not by what they pro­ duce but according to the employ­ er’s ability to pay, is the surest (if not the fastest) way to hopelessly low wages and a dog's life for us all.

Isenbour. Hiddenite. N. G. Several years ago I helped a lit. He preacher in a revival, whom I fell in love with. He was a fine little man, though not highly edti Pa ted. Ipreached|both regenera, tion and sanctifiction, straight and clean living, and he stood right with me all through the meetine: God blessed in the revival of which this brother wa<i pastor, did’t like him. He stood against sin and wickedness, and for righteousness, and holiness, and was a good pray­ er. We held some praver meetings nnril midnight and he was right there praying and palling for the salvation of souls, while his accu­ sers or some of them were not at home in bed, I suppose. We clos­ ed tbe?meeting. and I. have never met this brother since then THe other day ,I had a letter from him • He is serving, a splen. did •■hurch in a distant state. The denomination to which he belonged st the time we were together let him down. Not bec-use he wasn't a good man, .but because he was> disliked by some of the people. He united with another denomination, and they didn’t like him because he stood for Snnday schools and yonng people’s work. They also let him ^own. Theti ke united with a denomination that has stood by him in his work. He has held some fine pastorates,' Also he has traveled and preached as an evangelist. He stands for old time religion, and strongly against mod­ ernism, formalism, dead types and worthless creeds. At present be is one of a staff of writers for bis denominational paner. Although he has been in poor health part ^of the titiie, and has been disabled. so he conld not preach at times per. bans, but he said: “ I get to where I can hardly go, but He goes on for good. When I received, this brother’s letter’s letter I was uplifted. Jusl to think how God can take a little fellew that is clean, upright, prav erful, and stands for the right and against wrong though with mea gre learning, and with opportune ties quite limited, and place him in high plac s, and make him a real soul.winner, a writer of truth, and a leader of men in the right direc tion, is enough to uplift us. When a man is for God and truth, prays much, and stands for all that istip- lifting ns. When a man is for God and troth, pr ys much, and stands for all that is uplifting and ennob. ling and purifying, why can’t he accomplish great things for Godf Hallelujabl Near the c'ose of this brother's letter he said: ‘ I am preaching salvatiod by grace, and clean Christian living . . . I have read some of your poetLS along. Thev foed’ my soul. I am ftending you jne dollar for the two hooks, Lost Game Of The American People” and ""Our Refnge Atid Fortress" wbich vou have brought out. The State association met with our church in July.

Jesus; is coming soon. Praise Hisname Now I am - thinking of what might he accomplished by tens ot thousands of oeople if they had a vision, had high aims, sublime pur. poses and great, uplifting a n d wotthwhile plans. The vast multi­ tudes of people go through ’ life without anything good, great, no hie, uplifting and subliue in ' view. Thevplan for nothing worth-while, consequently accomplish nothing. Tbfe Vast* majority don' t see higher than their ,com fields, cotton Glelds,' tobacco .fields, or tbelt jobs, or a mere living, or having^ a big time serving the devil .. They have low aims, and of couse rise no higher than their aims,, and of course he never leads anyone itpward and heavenward. His purpose is al­ ways to lead downward and hell, ward. Many people have great minds, but the'y let the devil use them.' They have great privileges and golden opportunities, but they turn them over to the devil and he uses them to curse their own lives and souls, also the lives and souls of others Many, many people with great learning never use it to ativ great and worth-while Jadvantage. They oftentimes curse themselves and their country with it. Learned politicians today have helped curse and practically damn our nation with lixuor ard various other kinds of vice. Learned men were lead­ ers in the mosj horrible war of all history wbich has just closen. If they bad been for God and peace,, and for the salvation of mankind ra^harlban their destruction, (I’m speaking of the different nations), how different it would have been I How sad to see men with no aim higher than tb serve the devil and eke out a mere existence, regard­ less of the-fact that they have -a soul that is precious- and pricelets in the sight of God, and that soul will be doomed and damned forev­ er in a devil’s belli Wbat mfght be accomplished, let me ask you, if men would give, themselves as completela unto God as they do to the devil?

The Better Way Althongb the strike of the Erwin Cotton Mills employees at Durham, Cooleemee and Erwin had lasted for several months, it was settled in three days after Governor Chenry stepped in as mediator. In view of the ecomic harm that has been done by long suspension of production at these large textile plants.'the question is just why the procedure resorted to in the last place could not have been followed in the first. Admittedly, the strike serves as a powerful club in band for the union workers. B u tisit not pos­ sible to negotiate with tbe factory wheels still turning and allowing the club simhly to throw its shadow against tbe walls of tbe conference or arbitration room? Would it not be better this way for the. workers, the wives and cbiidren who too often feel the pinch of hunger when strik-s are prolonged and pay - checks no' longer show up at the end of the work-day week? Men bave a great capacity for taking punishment. We note this during wartime in the behavior of th e people of bombed cities as well as among soldiers on the firing line. We see it em D hasiz-d in the box­ ing arena,on the football field, in the life of western lumbir jacks, in th^stout uncomplaining. labor of men who mine the Nation’s coal, and In many other occupations and activities.

TBiE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSV1LLE, N. C. WALLGREN AND LUMBER WASHINGTON. — Lumber price ceilings topped the agenda of the President’s conference the other day with his old friend Gov. Mon Wallgren at Washington.However, Wallgren also took/oc­ casion to invite Truman to spend a vacation this summer in the north­ west aboard the presidential yacht, “The people of my state would be delighted to have you as a guest, and you can also take a trip up to Alaska on the Williamsburg,” Wallgren told him. / Truman accepted tentatively, saying he would go if he could possibly make it. Wallgren’s main business, how­ ever, was to strongly urge an in­ crease in the price ceilings on lum­ ber. He maintained that this was necessary in order to increase lum­ ber output for the housing program. “We are facing a serious job crisis in our lumber mills, Harry,” said the Washington governor. “We have a model unemployment compensa­ tion law. in my state, but many un­ employed workmen are swiftly us­ ing up the 26 weeks they are.en­ titled to draw as compensation. Both from the labor standpoint and the housing shortage, inventories in our mills must be built up as quickly as possible.” IDLE WAR PLANTS Governor WaIlgren also urged the sale of government-owned light metal plants, now idle in his area, to private operators as another means of increasing employment. Two idle plants in question are the Aluminum Rolling mill and the Aluminum Ingot companies at Spo­ kane, operated by Alcoa during the war. Henry Kaiser wants to buy the former for the. production of aluminum-built automobiles and pre­ fabricated housing. Wallgren told Truman that the lumber situation has been aggra­ vated by a neat little device of certain big timber outfits, including the Weyerhauser interests, which, calculatedly or otherwise, has been stifling competition. Under the Washington constitution, the state government must sell timber to the highest bidder, but some big out­ fits have been bidding over the price ceilings. This causes all bids to be thrown out. The President said he would talk to the RFC about the plants, but suggested that Wailgren thrash out his lumber price problems with price control boss Chester Bowles. BUTTER BLACK MARKET The office of international trade, now under the commerce depart­ ment, is planning to ask U- S. cus­ toms officials to investigate some strange shenanigans in the re-sale of butter this country has been ex­ porting to Mexico. Despite the serious butter shortage, which has caused the American housewife to turn to substitutes and jam for her table, we sent S1SOO pounds of butter to Mexico in the last quar­ ter of 1945. Some of this is now winding up at Tiajuana, the Mexican resort town across the border from ,San Diego, where the butter is being sold to American tourists for the fabulous price of $1.25 a pound. Under export price ceilings, en­ forced by the OPA and the depart­ ment of commerce, this same but­ ter was sold to Mexican dealers at from 47 to 49 cents a pound. >The price varies a. couple of cents a pound, depending- on the typd of packaging. In other words, we are now buy­ing back American-made butter from Mexico for triple the price Mexican dairy dealers are paying us for it. Commerce department of­ ficials can only guess how much smuggled butter may be involved in this, cross-border black market, but the customs office will be. asked to make a thorough probe. C NOTE-Mexiee is also one of our biggest purchasers of ex­ ported nylon stockings. Out of a total of 9,110 dozen pairs of nylons exported in November —the last monthly figures avaii- ble—Mekico bought 5,010 dozen pairs. Cuba received 2,603 doz­ en pairs. CAPITAL CHAFF One reason for the current inter­ national food shortage is that Leo Crowley, when FEA boss, refused to heed the warning of Secretary of Agriculture Anderson last summer, when Anderson argued that FEA should help increase plantings of winter wheat, cereals and proteins in South America. The South Ameri­ can crop was hit by drouth, or it might have been larger. Sen. Tommy Hart, the only ad­ miral on the senate military affairs committee,. recently asked commit­ tee 'members if there were a.dicta­ phone in the walls. He complained -: that the .Washington Meriy - Go- Round had quoted him all too ac­ curately when, at a secret session, he defended the war department re­ garding demobilization. . . Rep. Clare Hoffman 'of Michigan, who considers himself an expert at anti­ labor legislation, was miffed be­ cause he was not consulted in the writing of the harsh Case bill passed by the house recently. UNITED STATES DELEGATES TO UNO -RETURN. . .

Square miles of surplus war goods, ranging- from spools of thread to giant road scrapers and derricks, are being readied at the Port Hueneme navy depot,'California, for what will probably be the biggest surplus goods sale in the nation. Shown in photograph are some of the tractors which will be sold to the civilian market. Only one kind of goods will be offered for sale in one day. JAPANESE SILK TO THE RESCUE . I .

IA’S BEST FRIEND . . . Often referred to as China's best friend, Lt. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer has been active as chief of staff to Gen­ eralissimo Cldang Kai-shek, and fac­ tor >la Industrial development of TpHE I alwa Dizzy Dean J rJk best pitched ball game isn’t always a matter of what the pitcher figures, but-what the oppos­ ing batter knows. For example, Joe DiMaggio has faced more than his share of great pitchers, including Bob Feller, Bob Grove, Tex Hugh- son and the'pick of the'National, league.When I asked Joe the best pitched game he had ever seen, DiMaggio hesitated about one-fifth of a sec­ ond. “That's easy,” he said. “It was the game. Dizzy Dean pitched a g a i n s t th e Yankees in the 1938 World Se­ ries. Pitching consists of four important details — an arm, a head, a - h eart and control. The- arm is supposed to be the most ^ im p o rta n t. I guesfi - maybe it is—if you have an arm like Wal­te r Jo h n so n , Lefty Grove or Bob Feller. But in this World Se­ ries game Dizzy had no arm. It was gone. We watched him warm up and he could just about get the ball up to his warm-up catcher. This was to be-our day. We figured we ought to get about three hits apiece from that daffy-dill Diz was pushing over. It was something pitiful. “Well, anyway,” DiMaggio con­ tinued, "here was our pushover. And we all knew that. Dizzy Dean' had been one of the great pitchers of all time. Chie of the tops. But h'e was a crippled duck now. He had no arm. Just ‘Head and Heart* “So what happens? Here come these dinky-dinks floating up to the plate. No speed at all; Not much of a curve. Just a shot put. But they would, come at tough spots. Low and inside—around your shoul­ ders—just balls you don’t like. Balls that are hard to bit solidly. And we swing and pop up or go out— and there’s Diz grinning at us and getting by with only a' head and a heart. No stuff at all. “And if those two Cub infielders hadn’t collided early in the game to give us two runs on a weak, drib­ bling infield roller, Diz wonld have had us shut out 3 to 0 up to the 8 th and I think would have beaten us. “This game- convinced me that Dizzy Dean was one of the great­ est of all time. Think what he must have been when he had his arm. I’m glad he was in the other league when he was right.” More About Pitching At this point DiMaggio and your correspondent became, involved In a discussion. . “What do you figure the toughest ball to hit?” I asked. “What’s your answer?” Joe said. “A low curve ball over the in­ side comer,” was my reply. “Any low curve ball,” Joe said, inside or outside. I hit on a level plane. So did Hornsby, Bill Dickey and Babe Ruth. But when you get one of those low ones around-your knees, you have to swing ,in a dif­ ferent way. It’s a great thing for the hitters that only a few hurlers can handle this type of pitch. For it takes perfect control to make this low throw. Here’s a funny thing! A low curve breaks much faster and sharper than a. high curve. Why? I don’t know. But it does. After all-we have to deal with facts, not with ideas. You know, Grant, from the pitching distance, that ball comes up to you in less than 'half a second. Johnson’s speed was 130 feet-a second. You don’t have time to do much figuring in half a second. It’s different with just a fast ball. You can time that. But you can’t time a fast breaking curve around your knees.”• • _ » * Strong Hands Needed You read in various gazettes the number of earnest and enterprising athletes who are now working to build up their legs and ,arms. Such men as Louis, Conn,' Greenberg, Dickey, DiMaggio, Ted Williams, etc. But too many of these, and a great deal too many of the youthful competitors just getting under way, overlook a section of the body just as important. This happens to be the two bands. Hand strength and hand action play a big part in base­ ball, football, boxing, golf, tennis, riding, basketball, fishing and other sports. Especially in .baseball, box­ ing, horse racing and golf. A pair of big, powerful hands was Hans Wagner’s crowning . glory. Jack Dempsey’s two iron fists, al­ most never injnred, were a Mg help. Two of the strongest looking pair of hands-I ever saw. belong to Tommy Armour, the golf star, and BiH Dickey, the Yankee catcher. It isn’t everybody who happens to be bora with Wagner, Dempsey, Ar­ mour or Dickey hands. But'this defect can at least be partially cured by the right sort of hand exercise. One of the best methods is to use rather small, hard- rubber balls, squeezing one in each hand. CLASSIFIED DEPAR TMENT HQMT. FURNISHINGS S c APPM.. UFBTHaS .CLOTHES PINS. Hold la. stronsesfc wind.

Finally they set­ tled down to the real business of life, which was grazing. Ken watched it all with a smile on bis face. At ’last Jhq picked iip the equipment he had dropped on the ground and went back through the keyhole to finish the business. He had spent hours with drill and sledge hammer working on the rock around and underneath that monster boul­ der which formed the roof of the keyhole. 'He had studied where each Stick1Vjf dynamite should go. He did pot intend that there should be a single one of those snail slips or miscalculations which' brought so marijr- of his1 good intentions to nought. The dynamite was tamped into the holes, the fuses attached. Now h # lit the fuses, turned and ran. - He-jdidn’t atop running, until he’reachel, the place where he had picketed ETicka.- He slipped his arm up underneath her head and held it against him so she would not be startled, and^ standing so, waited for.'tiie explosion.

There -Wewa' nightened chattering of birds, and small animals scurried out of the rocks: A cloud of dust floated up from thepassage. And as earth and rocks settled . Imck again, the valley was filled with detonations caroming back from the hills. Last of all- came a deep rumble from the Thunderer. ■ • ;• ' After some minutes Ken entered the passage to see exactly what had happened to the keyhole. It no long­ er existed. Just as he had planned, the support for the boulder had been blasted away ,1 and with its fall, all ,the other bouiders had found a new ^position. There wej-e some crannies a. cat or. a small , dog could have ctawled through, biit for Thunder- head the passage was closed for all time. Ken retraced his steps, ran along the' rampart until he came to the place ^Thunderhead had made the trail ttefhe summit, and climbed up. Therd was excitement amongst, the mates over the blasting. Thun­ derhead was' nowhere to be - seen. Ken lay down, hanging his head over the .edge,.cerlain that the horse was below mere, pawing at those stones, investigating every cranny, discow - ering Ahat there would be no more gomg. in and out-of the .valley..

And the friendly1 words, “If you think you can do it, son. I’U leave it to you. I don’t want , to shoot your' horse or geld him."

Not only had her husbatd fiied bit. also her^-two sons! who had married Gentile women, -leaving three wid­ ows in one family to mourn togeth­ er.'Nacimi craved the -feUowship of her own people in her hour of trial, and she arose to-return to her own land. Her departure brought out in tiie two daughters-in-law .the expression ,pf kindness, and loyalty which should exist in every family, but which is aU too often lacking. Her own testi­ mony concerning these girls of Moab is that they dealt kindly with her and with the dead. That word speaks !volumes. There is so Uttle genuine -Hndness in the wprld. - I' .'Both Orpah ’and 1Ruth1 went .’with- oer on -the way, ,protesting their loyal purpose to go with her all tiie way, -.- Naonti met their kind offer , with the only sensible answer. There was no point in leaving their homes and loved ones and going with her to another country.~ 1Loigic is so conclusive and so final. JYesj and sometimes it reaches the 'WKJfigi conclusion.' -LbVe has some: tiling to say about the matter: Let us listen to its yoice. "II. Love (v. 14). >• Grpeh loved: .her mdther-in-laiw. evident.-. Sie wept'at the thought of parting, and was affec­ tionate in her final farewell. We must not be too quick to censure her..,.She did what Naonti-told her to Bher responded to her- love for JhcSrie arid' kinfolk. She- gave up reluctantly, but she did give up and turn bade. .

Lord Tennyson said fl! the book of Ruth that “no art can improve on it.” And of these verses another said, “V(e cannot hope to contribute to .literature a sentence so exquisite and thrilling as that , into Whirii Ruth poured the full measure of a noble heart, but we can imitate her devotion" (WiI- Uam-Jennings- Bryan): " The conclusion of the story finds Ruth married to Boaz, her kinsman- redeemer, an d ‘‘living.happily-ever after,” as a true romance should end. God gives happy endings. Here we- find the right attitude toward marriage, 'something which needs emphasis- in our day.

IN ADVANOF SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE StflO S SO W hat has happened to our old friend Henry Wallace, the fellow who drowned the pigs and plow­ ed up the cotton? W hen you see.a Democrat hug­ ging a Republican, it is a sure sign that there is a "nigger concealed somewhere in the woodpile.” Only a little more than three months until the luscious black­ berry will be ripe. Get busy and loosen up on the sugar, you OPA officials. Well, Russia has been heard from. She only wants to borrow one billion dollars from us at this tim e.. A very modest sum in the eyes of the New Dealers. W e wonder what business the Hou. W inston Churchill has in this country? Don’t suppose he ih ere trying to help -put overthe four billion loan Britain is trying to get from us? The groundhog’s reign of forty days will be over tomorrow. The hog treated us pretty well this year. U p to this time we have had eight snows. Here’s hoping the worst is over. W hen a Democrat once gets to the pie counter it is hard to drag: him away. Uncle Fob Dough ton, , Major Eulwinkle and Zeb Weaver have all been in Congress since the memory of m an-runneth not to the contrary, but they all want to go back. W hy not retire them on a pension and elect a Hunch of younger men to represent this great State in the halls of Congress? RspubSicans Met Satur­ day and Eietted Officers Republicans fromi all sections of the county met at die court house Saturday afternoon t o elect county officers and name delegates, to various conventions. The convention was presided over by Chairman E. C. Morris with G. G. Daniel, Secretary. T h i follow­ ing delegates were named to the State, Judicial and Smatorial Con ventions. A. T. Grant, B. C, Brock, AIex Tucker, W . T. Myers. S. B. Cook, Anderson Potts, L. M. Tutterow, H . G. Sheets, L. S. Shelton, C. C. Smoot, H v R. Eaton, Miss Inez Naylor, Mrs.. Beulah Apperson, Mrs. W . E. Kennen, Mrs. T. F. Bailey, Mrs. Clay Tutterow, Mrs. Harvey Gobble. The convention unanimously re­ elected E. C. Morris as Coitiity Chairman, and G. G. Daniel as Secretary. An adjourned meeting will be held at the court house here on Saturday, April 6th, at 3 o’clock, to take up the matter of naming candidates for the various county offices. More Sufar In Prospect Pre-School CUuks The Pre-school Clinics for the MocksviIle elementary school on M uch dth, got off with a nice start as scheduled. Approximate­ ly 55 children were expected, bas­ ed upon an estimate of the teach­ ers. Presm t for examination were 31, which is Considered a fair re­ sponse only. The Healtii CMScer states that it is possible that the parm ts of die children who did not show up probably preferred o consult their fomlly physicians, which Js petfecdy all right. -If their absence was due to indiffer­ ence, however, that is not good, for as pointed out by die Healdi Officer; it is very desirable that all children who are to enter school next foil be checked now. If de­ fects are present, which can be corrected, it is wise to know in advance and endeavor to have the corrections made early. likewise, die immunizations. If children have not been vaccinated against smallpox and immunized against diphtheria and whooping cough, now is the time to accomplish that, before die onset of hot weather. The Health Officer announces that clinks will be held only scheduled. T herew illbenotim e to revisit the schools for this pur­ pose. H e further advises-that the present supply of combined vac­ cine for diphtheria and whooping cough which is purchased from county funds is limited. W hm die Dawe allotment of this vac­ cine is .exhausted it will be neces­ sary to switch to die State sup­ plies uncombined stocks, which is excellent vaccine, but which re­ quires more injections. O f die children who were ex­ amined at die initial clinic, some six or eight were found in need of some treatment for such defects as impairment of vision, bad I tonsils and adenoids, and one was found to have rheumatic heart disease. It is hoped that these children will receive attention this summer ! and be in good shape for school jj n e ti b i - ALFRED MORDECAI, M. D. : C-’;? ■ Health Officer. V. F. W. Dects Officers FredR.

The beautiful fabrics and Interesting weaves of men’s shirts make'excellent material for spright- Ij little pinafores and blouses. Most-of’you mothers know the Ugh cosijDf those frilly blouses for sister to wear with her jumpers. Or you know how quickly she grows out of pinafores. Yet the cost of converting Dad’s old shirt into one’ of these items is frequently only the nice-of a spool or two of threacLto match. ' ‘ r- ’■ If the shirts are worn or torn around the armholes, this need- be. so problem in making the .pinafore, because this material is not neces­sary: -Only the back and front of fbe shirt need be in good condi­ tion. Worn sleeves will not spoil the plans at hand. Catting the Pinafore. The back of the shirt is used for the front part of the pinafore, as this , takes the greatest amount gp solid material. Since the pinafore' Is open in the back, the front part qI the shirt may be used for tfcat. To get the most material from a 3hirt, wash'it carefully, then press and . Tip, being careful'’ not tgr tear anv of. the fabric.. If You Bave a Man’s Shirt ... If the sleeves are in fairly usable condition, cut tie-strings from them, and perhaps a ruffle to substitute Sat sleeves and a pocket or two. A belt is desirable, too, and there Aould be a big, perky bow in the tad : to make the pinafore look «*isp and dainty. - If, however, the aoaterial ‘is short, use a' slim belt (bat ties in the front. Trimming Is important. One of the little touches that rakes a pinafore is, very often, the trimming. This may be as simple as ric rac around the sleeves or yockets, or a thin edging of lace around the neckline or bow.. The delicate shirt fabrics are best Jor the frilly, dressy pinafores. White Oarts can ,be made gay with red (ouches oftrimming/or navyblue;or Playtime Togs I « m al dress that is ideal for or casual datings Is this one of Vaw silk. Its new fea- are the cap sl&yes, slash sockets and leather - lined belt. Boiniaed shoulders give freedom o£ movement. \ . .. . Make a Pretty Pinafore. gray can be brightened with green, red- .or. whiter •For the more sturdy pinafores, use a minimum of trimming and de­ pend upon tailoring and detail to put the pinafore across. A feather stitch around the pockets may be all that you will need,, provided this i$ in an attractive, contrasting color thread. Making a Blouse. -H your daughter is a little too tall for a pinafore made from Daddy’s -Jihirt, try > a blouse. Blouses can be made short for the youngsters and there will be ample material in the. shirt for such a project.As in the cas'e of the pinafore, the back of the shirt is used for the front, if the blouse is buttoned all the way down the back. Ifc however, you are making a shirtwaist style, use Uie bade of the shirt for the blouse and the two front pieces of the shirt cut down to make the front. Very, often the tiny buttons onthe_ shirt willgo very weU WiQi the biouse. The sleeves of the shirt will pro­ vide ample material for a little round collar and puffed sleeves. These may be trimmed with lace or crocheting, or even bright-colored piping. • -Whenever you .are working with this type of remodeling, it’s best to keep ironing board and iron handy. Seams should be pressed often to- make them easier to stitch. Basting lakes time, .too, but the more exact work resulting from it is a gratify­ ing reward. Both of these precau­ tions- are essential in making small- sized Slouses and pinafores. PatchingPointers For tears in children’s play clothes, ipse a double-stitched patch forlts durability. If you have a perfect figure, settle on. ,satin . for your best dr^ss. Its shiny surface reflects light in such a way as to point up your beet qualities. The goof portions of a worn- out dress may be used to line a wearable- jacket, for making a blouse or jerkin, or cutting off the bodice and making a sepa­ rate skirt. ijftn darning fabrics with a dis­ tinct . pattern, study the pattern- carefully, and match as closely when darning...This ,is known as reweaving, and wlien carefully done, the dam can lie almost in­ visible. If a skirt is too short to hem, a facing may be placed in it. Stitch thie facing, which should be of material fairly similar to the skirt, to the bottom. Fress the seam ,.before turning facing to wrong side, and baste. Turn up material and hem to place. Before you wear a dress even once, protect the underarms from fading or wearing out with a pair of dress shields. Sew or pin them in, and remember, they must be wasfied' frequently. -Siields such as these will save cleaner’s bills and .often prevent the dress from beaming /ruined.' -&plain, drab dress can often be mode wearable and even quite gay by an applique around the shoulder, on the pockets, around the le lt'o r even to the side on the skirt. Choose a simple flower design and trace the outline on. contrasting;: fabric or cut the' de-- sign from a scrap of gay print. Or, use old,' leftover yam to em­ broider a bouquet You can completely disguise an unsightly tear 4>r bum by cover­ ing, it with a decorative patch. These patches are especially suit­ able for - youngster’s clothing,, sports clothes !and casual lingerie. Use an applique iriade of con­ trasting colored' material ’from an illustration', or a transfer pat tern. Be sure that the design is large enough to'cover thehdam- aged place. Felt appliques are ef­ fective on many rayon "'fabrics; cotton prints are good against cotton; and .silks may be used for silk or woojeh material. Hem dose to the edge, using a fine needle- and -matching, thread._ F a shion N o tes It you are making a .dark'suit : with a plaid trim, it’s smart to have Biree -. quarter dolman sleeves, cuffed in the plaid trim 'used for the rest of the ensemble.

What type of dependents must a hospitalized veteran who is rated 100 per cent or more disabled! have in order to draw more than the $20 monthly iostitnticsia) .award? — E. G. B., Milwaoltte,; Wls. A.

The :war department says that for the record, men in the. service- are still earning points for each month of service, but for the pur­ poses of diSSharge, points earned as of Septggsb^r' 2, 1945, are counts ed. !For the army, according to Gen­ eral Eisenhower, men with 40 points as • September 2, except- volun­ teers, or with two years service, will, be home by June 30; men'with 45 points or 30 months’ servicfe will be home by AprU '30. . ti Q.—To a lonely wife andmother ft Vienna, Mo.; and Mrs.'I,'Cf.,:of Carterton, Va., each of whom have three'children.

J r ittttf —ISute Otrartmy Fgtiy-MoiM Baod Oa VMdt for destructive Jnsecto as soon ss the first UtUe leaves poke Uiroughi the soil In your garden. They are unusually ravenous for tender young foliage, Aaot*, and buds, and the smart gardener VrfH be on hand with the proper eontral even before the pests show up. Thro types of insect are well known nulsanoea—those that suck Uie juices «r sap of the plant, as aphids or plants Hoe, and Uiose that chew or Ute off bits of the plant The work of the first is seen in general droopiness and un­ healthy appearance of the plant; the work of foe second shows up in actual riddling of foe leaves and other !plant parts. Eor sucking insect3 foe spray or dust must hit and cover the insect actually smothering it Stomach poisons are re­ quired for destroying chewing insects, libs material is dusted or sprayed thoroughly on all surfaces of the plant so as to make a deposit When the in­ sect sterto to eat the plant, it also takes In some of the poison and is killed. Xlthar dusting or spraying can be affective if properly done with a good insecticide. Now foat foe war is over, of foe old lirands and various ones will be plentiful. You may to adventure with some of foe new ones, but always follow directions. !Ar small gardens dusting is' perhaps oven easier than spraying. Here’s a simple apparatus for applying insecti­ cide dust which you yourself can eas­ ily prepare: Tuw a square of cheesecloth, a stooog string, and a slender stick. Rpread foe cheesecloth on a flat sur­ face and pile foe insecticide dust in the center. Gather the cloth by the four comers and tie the string se­ curely around it, leaving the contents resting loosely inside. Hold the bag with one hand directly over the plant and strike it gently on one Mde with foe stick (see illustra­ tion). Part of an old broom handle will do nicely. Ihe dust should cover all parts of the plant It will stick better if put on when the plants are moist with dew, rain, or water from foe hose. Do not put it on just be­ fore a shower or your work will be useless. By taking a little extra care, the dust will reach the undo: side of the leaves as well as the upper sur­ faces. It is important to choose a day when no wind is stirring. If you spray instead of dust, see that the leaves and other parte of foe plant are dry so that the solution will not be diluted as it strikes the surface. A hand spray with a glass jar attached is simple to use. The glass can be readily cleaned after using, and strong solutions cannot corrode it as they might a metal container. In using a spray, foe same as with a dust, be sun to reach the underside of foe foliagt where insects are even more likely te be feeding than on top. W hy N o t G row B e tte r S w eet C o m ?

Itoastin’ ears!” you can hear whole families shouting far the Southern Stotts. 1Tiom-On-Iifo-Cobr exclaim the Northern folks. Ifo the every­ where. Sweet com is even more American tin™ foot dogs’. Diving foe war many Wctory Garckners discovered the real flavor of sweet oosn for the' first time. They found+ that all the luscious sweetness is pre­ served by cooking the ears as soon as they are picked. When they are al­ lowed to lie .around half a day before boiling or Boasting, much of the sugar toms to starch, and there’s a fiat, un- SgpetMng taste.. • Because garden-fresh sweet com is bound to be a aUiustn for many peace­ time homes, here are a few tips on how to enjoy even better results than Inliwpast S you have been growing white com up to now, why not adventure with acme of the yellow types? Many think the flavor richer, and most experts that yellow corn is superior in ins. Some of foe new yellow hy- i have certain advantages over the elder types. The ears are large, the yield unusually heavy for foe space occupied, and most hybrids are resist­ ant to certain plant diseases. Golden : Cboas Bantam does well almost every- re; Ioana is a favorite in southern a; Miarcross is especially adapted to Andfortunatefolks who have had a chance to sfab their teeth into the deep milky kernels of Ferry’s Golden want nothing „l<a, In their sweet com patch. Whatever the variety, several short rows should be planted to form a com­ pact plot, rather than one or two long rows. This Js to make sure that the wind will carry pollen to every gtilr on every ear for only in that way can all the kernels develop. Whetiker hybrids or regular types of com are grown, be sure to put in sev­ eral plantings ten days to two weeks apart instead of sowing tdl the seed at once. Extend your sweet corn eating time over as long a season as possible. Take courage if you have bCen a bit discouraged because of foe cam borer or ear worm. There are more preven­ tives this year aqd fairly simple ways to combat the pests. Begin early U you1 suspect a com borer attack Amply rotenone dust liberally on the pfonf just before the ears form. Do this four more times; five days apart. To out­ smart the com ear worm, wait until the ear has formed and the silk has dried. Snip off the dried silk close to the husk, or apply mineral oil at the ear Kps, P lunder •s Wan are wasteful and everybody knows it. An emotional plea ,for national defense is all it takes to raise money from patriotic people. > Men and women will sacrifice, will I give until it hurts when their sons! are at war. A young man, far from , home, litrfng (?) under conditions! new to him and unknown to Us par- j ents, is foe unfailing combination to! foe family’s treasure chest. ; , Whether parents be rich or poor,; they will buy their son’s passage! home from a foreign war every day! until he comes, so long as they can , find foe money, and nobody blames them. They will do It, even if they; fear that foe money they offer is imprudently spent, or that part of it is diverted into selfish channels. But hostilities have 1 ceased now. Things are different. Frugality Revives People of foe United States have begun watching where their tax money goes and wondering if it is' being wisely spent. It is small won­der Vhat Cmgress bristles at every suggestion to continue commodity price controls until foe middle of 1948. Holdfog'foe price line costs! something, and does not seem half as important to a war-weary people as it did before foe last foreign beachhead was taken.Evidences keep coming to light that taxpayers’ money has been wasted by men in positions of trust. A recent public statement for Sena­ tor Harry F. Byrd of Virginia said more than 3% million civilians were on federal payrolls last November I, compared with less than one million in August, 1939; or 917,769 when foe shooting stopped at foe end of World War I. Needless Expense There is an element in government today, seeking not merely to con­ tinue the life of the OPA but to ex­ pand its functions. Already our government’s price-fixing “mechan­ ics” have started making arbitrary adjustments in margins to be earned by wholesalers and distrib­ uting agencies, an activity not even thought about for the OFA at the time it was created. It would be unfair to allege that this enormous bureau’s entire war­ time activity was useless. Price controls have done some good, as arbitrary shields against abnormal dangers. They have also done harm, A retail merchant, whom I have known since ,I was a boy, told me recently that he made more net gain selling under war-time price ceil­ ings than he had made during his previous 35 years in business; . CiwtroIUiig Prices Questioned for more detail, my retailer Jriend acknowledged to me that price controls placed on him fay government during foe war were much more lenimt than price con­ trols placed on him by competitors all his business life. A ndIam sura it is no more true in Itis case than H would be with such institutions as Ford, Chrysler and General Motors. Competition is the correct .brake on prices. Risgsrdleas of what name it may wear: Price Control, Federal Aid to Education or Socialised Medicine, centralization of power is undemo­ cratic. It is paying a power-hungry ruler for doing something that would happen naturally if he would only step aside. It -is someone Ctimbtag to power by learning whal people want and devising a way to keep them from getting it, while making them think he is trying to get it for them. K ing C ustom er Catering to the customer has Been America’s most profitable and high­ ly diversified craft for several gen­ erations, and it must never stop if this country is to stay great and free. Catering to foe Customer is an hon­ orable and interesting activity, and there is nothing to stop it but man- made laws. May they tv e r be enacted! Certainly 1946 is no time to experiment with silly ideas. TSke the automotive industry, for an example. It is probably the tort example. Automobile men have gone to great lengths to please the American buyer. His wish tor speed has been served, seasoned with safety. His need as to seating CU Dari tv. hie taste In. desisn, .fais whiin iiTcoIor, and (most important? his buying power, have been taken into account. Result: A car for a king. Frfanittve NetfonsPerhaps the first time a car manu­ facturer decided suddenly to rip foe insides out of his plant and put In new machinery to give King Customer a better dollar’s worth, the stockholders winced. Maybe, in that long-gone day, stockholders con­ sidered such expenses wasteful,; but foey leamed better. - Catering to the ‘customer is exactly what makes dividends grow bigger each year. We may imagine also that, back fat the early days of the horseless carriage, some factory workers wor­ ried about their jobs for a while aft­ er lower prices were announced. Probably some, good workmen asked, “How lirng can foe big boss keep paying us after he starts giv­ ing his profits to the consumer?” These doubters are wiser now too, same as foe old-style stockholders. Imltatfog Nobody Yearfar better machines, more handsome and less costly, have built big industries and created thousands of good jobs. Wage earners and stockholders prospered together while shrewd management studied King Customer’s needs and met them. When the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor the United States had one automobile for every four people —one for each 139 people in the rest of the world. American manufacturers know the route that leads to national pros­ perity. Just foe same, they are be­ ing urged to turn aside and try a course completely strange to west­ ern industry. Itisanoldjungleroad that has lost many great races in poverty. It means business servile to power. It means opening private records to be thumbed at will by partisan fact-finding committees. LoiMng for Whatt Suoh a committee will be con­ cerned with wages — only with wages. It will have small interest In prices of cars to foe user: less In returns to investors. Its job will be to say what wages an employer is able to pay. Rightly, wages are de­ termined by a workman’s ability to produce. Die new concept seems to be that an employer’s savings have a bearing on wage levels. Such a scheme would ear-mark for wages all but a paltry share of a firm’s earnings and investors would turn away. Down wouldcome cash reserves, plant equipment and output. ..Qualifar would suffer, prices would advance and sales drop off. Paying men, not by what they pro: dues but according to the employ­ er’s ability to pay, is' foe surest (if not the fastest) way to hopelessly low wages and a dog’s life for us all.

It is claimed that if food suhsidi. es.are eliminated tbe <ost . f living would rise three per cent, and food costs would advance eight pei cent.

Before one crop is "laid by” He is beset with problems concerning the next. For example, he has most re­ cently sold his tobacco crop and swept out die dust of last year’s harvest from the packhouse. Now he is being warned 10 obtain spraping equipment, for a defen­ sive move against'bltie mold. It seems that there has been an out­ break of the disease in several sec­ tions of Georgia and since it rides the wind, it is expected that germs will be blown into Nordi Caro­ lina. According to the experts, tobac­ co plants in this State are in great- est danger of becoming diseased by blue mold when prevailing temperatures are between 65 and 70 degrees and when sides are cloudy. Thus far in die 1946 plant raising season, temperatures have been sufficiently low and no infection has been reported. But temperatures at3 on die- rise and there is danger that the disease will strike at any time. If this should happen, .it would mean a scarcity of tobacco plants for the ensuing tobacco crop in North Carolina. Less plants means less money in die formers’ pocket.

And “no mattet-how much a former plants, or how much the crop is worth in .the market, the only way to be sure of an income is'to protect his crop with Federal Crop Insurance,” Mr. Smoot pointed out. Taking out Federyl Crop in­ surance was. described as “only setting aside so much .each year to take icare of a loss that is al­ most sure to come some time, in die future;” And if a crop is lost; die indemnity‘received by an in­ sured former gives hinft a return for what he has invested in the crop in die way of seed costs and labor. ■ Farmers are urged to drop in at die AAA office if they have ques­ tions about the program.

Davie Farm News The Dairy Production Payment Program will be continued thru June 30, and .rates for the April- June period will be the same as these for the corresponding period for last year, J. N. Smoot, chair- in, County AAA Committee, announced today. The AAA Chairman pointed out that the pavments will be subject to termination or revision in the event of any general in­ crease in price ceilings for milk and its products. According to the Stabalization Director’s announcement of Jan. 29, the general level of returns for milk producers will be maintain­ ed during 1946 at the 1945 level, either by subsidy payment or In­ crease in price ceilings should the subsidy be eliminated. The Dairy Production Payment Program was designed to make payments to formers on die milk and butterfot they produce and sell to offset increased dairy pro­ duction costs and to encourage a contiuued high rate of milk pro­ duction. Republicans Confident ■■ ReDabHcan strategists have start­ ed calling tbeir shots in telling bow they'say they will win control of the House of Representative this November. According to the way they figure it ont privately and - passed th e word along to reoorters, the GOP will have a dear majority of at least nine sears in tbe House when the 8 oth Congress convenes next fanuafv. To do that, they most pick up 35 seats while retaining the 191 they now have. After a careful survey of possibi­ lities, they claim they will gain a minimum- of 35—and perhaps as many as 47—seats now held bv De­ mocrats and won’t lose any of their own. Here’s where they expected to make, their gains: Connecticut, 4 years; New York, 5; Pennsylvania. 6; Delaware, 1; Maryland, 1; West Virginia, 2 or 3 ; Michigan, 1 or 2 ; Wisconsin, 2 , Montana, 1; Washington, I or 2 ; California; 4 to 6 ; Utah, 1; New Mexico. 1; Illinois, 3 or 4; Mis. souri, 2 or 3 . - In additii n, they are - hopeful of winning one seat in each in Ken­ tucky, Indiana,’. Oklahoma, and Rhode Island, but they aren’t counting on them. Tbe present House lineup 238 Democrats, 191 Republicans, one American-Labor and one progres. sive, w<th four vacancite. An ac­ tual numerical majority is 218. AU four vacancies are in districts that have been represented most recent Iy by Democrats and one of them already has elected a Democrat who has not yet taken office. THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE. N. C. U WASHINGTON. — Some people are wondering whether the fact­ finding board for the meat packing ' industry took the trouble to read the newspapers. If so, they might hot have recommended that the house­wife bear the main burden of the cost of increased wages in the meat packing industry. The fact-finding board, which in­ cluded Dr. Edwin E. Witte of Wis­ consin university, Chief Justice Raymond W. Starr of the Michigan Supreme court, and Clark Kerr, former chairman of the meat pack­ ing branch of the war labor board —three able men—decided that a 16-cent pay increase was fair and equitable for meat packing work­ ers. But they added that only five cents of this was "absorbable by the meat industry without price, or subsidy relief." In other words, the fact finders recommended that the big meat packers could pay only 5 cents of the 16-cent wage increase out of their own pockets. The rest would have to be passed on to the consum­ er or the government. Their report was filed February 7. However, early in December, long before the fact-finding board was appointed, a number of smaller meat packing plants had already signed contracts with the CIO and AFL for 15 cents an hour pay increase with­ out any strings attached re­ garding increased meat prices. The small packers who signed such agreements included Hygrade Food Products of New York, George A, Hormel of Austin, Minn., and others in the Chicago area. Apparently, the fact finders did not take this into considera­ tion. Apparently also, they ig­ nored the fact that Swift and company previously had agreed to a pay boost of 10 cents an hour withont any strings at­tached > regarding' increased meat prices to the housewife. For, despite Swift’s offer of 10 cents an hour and the smaller com­ panies’ increase of 15 cents, the fact - finders recommended that only 5 cents of the 16-cent increase could be paid for by meat packers. The remaining 11 cents will be passed on to the housewife—unless the gov-; emment votes a subsidy. BREAD WASTE SCANDAL. Department of agriculture sleuths have been doing some quiet check­ ing of unscrupulous bakeries which .violate bread sales regulations in order to kill off competition. • Despite the fact that the nation has been forced on a "dark bread” diet to hplp feed war-starved peo­ ples of the world, thousands of loaves of good bread are still go­ ing to waste, or being fed to hogs and chickens. It works like this: ... If a big bakery is trying to grab business away from a competing bakery, it will begin supplying gro­ cery stores on a "consignment, basis,” which means that grocers’ shelves are loaded up with supplies of bread in excess of what they can sell. The following day—sometimes the same day—drivers pick up the un­ sold loaves and replace them with fresh stock, charging the grocer only for the bread actually sold. Idea is to promote sales of a particu­ lar brand of bread because of its “freshness.” This is a violation of war food order No. I, but it hasn’t stopped certain bakeries in Houston, Texas, Richmond, Va., San Francisco,! Cleveland, Kansas City and St. Louis from carrying on the prac­ tice on a huge scale. Instead of making their re­ turned stocks of one-day-old bread available at a reduced price to poor families, the loaves frequently wind up in garbage bins. One Texas farm­ er who. tipped off the depart­ ment of agriculture abont condi­ tions in Houston said he had been buying wagon-loads. of bread “fresh enough to eat” to feed his hogs and chickens, ATOM VS.

General Hill­ dring served as director of war de­ partment civil affairs. o r G fiM lA N D fi/C E CPQRT has an odd way of hook- ing up time and space. On one night lately we ran across an Aus­ tralian sportsman: in New York, who felt fairly confident that Jack Brom­ wich and Dinny Fails could take JireVy good care , of the Davis cup next December. Next we had lunch with Beals Wright, the - famous U. S. tennis star. W right defeated bo th N orm an Brookes and- Tony Vtilding on Aus­ tralian turf In Da­vis cup play back in 1908, when they w e re considered unbeatable, al­ though Australia retained the cup 3-2.GrantlsndBice Here wag a gap of 38 years in time and 12,000 miles in space with the Davis cup the main item of conversation. "I think we have an excellent chance to hold the cup,” our Aus­ tralian friend said. “Bromwich is good but in my opinion 19-year-old Dinny PaiIs is even better. Or he will be better with the 9 or 10 months of play and training he has left before next. December. Some good advice from Sir Norman Brookes won’t hurt. Bromwich is still in good form, an excellent player and a stout competitor. And we may have others by the cup date. “ A g a in st th is s tro n g - A u s tra lia n pair the U. S. must bank largely oh Frank Parker, Billy Talbot and possibly Kramer and Schrodder if they can get out of service in time to reach former form. You will dis­ cover no Big Bill or Littie Bill in this group—the pair who brought the cup home in 1920 after World War I. But it will be an experienced team that can at least put up a good front.". Beals Wright— and 1908 “Australia and 1908 are a long way and a long time back,” Beals Wright remarked. “We took a fool­ ish gamble'because only Fred Alex­ ander and myself made the trip. I kept wondering what would hap­ pen if either of us should get sick or injured. We had no substitute. I had two great matches with Nor­ man Brookes and Tony Wilding and was lucky to be at my best in both contests. “Unless conditions have changed the U. S. team, must be ready to face two important factors. One is the intense heat in December. When we played the- temperature was 115 degrees. While it. was a dry heat, still 115 is what you might, call a bit warm. I recall an intense desire to take a ' drink of water through the matches, which, oi course, I couldn't do. You shouldn’t drink any water or anything else while the play is on. "The second factor is the turf, Australian turf is quite different from ours and England’s/ where the grass has a much lighter or thin­ ner texture. Anstoalian turf Is much stronger, much more ragged. This means yonr spikes are likely to stick, affecting your ankles and your leg muscles. I don’t think my legs were ever qnite as sore. I had to go in for rabber-soled shoes.” Beals Wright is. the son of the late George Wright, who played shortstop on the unbeaten Reds of 1869, a team that won 55 games, lost none and was tied once. George Wright played profession­ al.ball until he retired in 1876, the year that gave birth to the National league. He was also a brilliant cricketer and a good golfer late in life. V Calls THden Greatest I asked Beals to name the great­ est tennis player he had- ever seen In his 40-odd. years of competition find observation. Tve seen many great ones,” he said "The Doherty brothers — Brookes and Wilding — Lamed — McLoughlin — Billy Johnston — the French stars, especially Cochet — the best that have come along-since 1900. But the top man is still Bill Tilden in my opinion. Tilden bad both speed and power-on the court. As far as I could see. he had no weakness in' his championship years. He had amazing stamina. In addition to this Tilden had unusual court generalship. He was one of the few men I’ve seen in' sport why. could let down and then pull him­ self back. He had: the art of keep­ ing his opponent off balance, both mentally, and physically- No one ever knew what was coming next” *•' Honesty Pays Off Several years ago Hurry-Up Yost, Michigan’s famous football - coach, made over 200 addresses in one sea- son to high school and university gatherings.

Then, lifting her eyes . t o ,the darkening out­ line of the distant cliff, she saw a sudden glow of light and, the next instant, the headlights of a big high- power-.touring car •• emerged. Ilie girl recognized'itwith a start of sur­ prise; it was Filin’s car, and Jim was not at the wheel. Urging her horse, she galloped down the trail to intercept this caf before if reached the bridge. A nearer view Showed her old MacDowell in it, and a stranger at the wheel. , . As she rode up they stopped the car. ’ “Mac,” - she -Ranted, “where’s. Jim?” “He’s all right; don’t you get scared, Jane,” the old ; man re­ assured her, trying to get out of the 'car. Jane stopped him. “You’ve hurt your arm—what’s wrong, Mac?’’ - The headlights of ' the car il­ lumined her as she leaned from the •addle to ,question ..him,: but it left fiie'maii at-the Wheel' in the shad­ ow. Jane felt his eyes; they made her. move uneasily and cast a quick glance at him. “It’s this way; Jane,” the old foreman explained'soberly, “Jim’s stayed behind; He’s 'gpt th’ sheriff an’ a party out.

Jane, too, if she stands in his way; he’s just as vindictive as a rattler. Git me, young man?” The. younger, man'kept his eyes steadily on the unfamiliar road,'but he uttered an exclamation of sur­ prise. “You don’t mean that the rascal would try to hurt that young girl?” “If he thought ,he could get her an’ hold her over Jim’s head for ransom, he’d* do it. Jane’s in just as much danger as Jim, that’s why I had to come back.” “By Jove, I wish I'd known that today—when he bolted past me—be­ fore you an’ Keller came up!" Old Mac chuckled. “Seen Jane Keller, eh? . That’s how all th’ cow- punchers, feel! Well, you Imow now, son, an’ you’ve got' an all-fired good, chance to make good,” he drawled. “To make good!” The words struck the other man like a blow; his face burned in the darkness, his steel-gray eyes shone strangely, but he said nothing. “There’s the house, we’re goin’. to the men’s quarters.

Mac. heard a smothered exclama­ tion at his side and. sensed the sud- den swerving of the big car. “Strike .a. stone? Here, shut her off; there’s one of tb' men—Sandy I” MacDowell reared as the cat stopped, ;“you come an’ take th’ ‘mail in—where’s Pete Rpopey? He can run this car to th’ gturage.

Half way he stood still; the lights from, the windows flowed across the short turf in long pools of radiance, reach­ ing nearly- to . his feet. He caught the sound Of dishes Jii the kitchen, anil an open door gave him a glimpse' of. the Chinese cook busy at his task. - In the distance some­ where a man was singing lustily in Spanish; far off He heard the scarce­ ly. distinguishable sounds of cattle in the corrals. ' He moved' swiftly under Ihe lighted windows, trying to count them, then, suddenly, he heard Stenhart’s voice! After all these years he knew it instantly, aind his hands clenched at his sides un­ til the nails bit cTeep into the flesh. Something tightened in his throat, he could scarcely breathe. Then camd a feeling of savage triumph; he had won out, he . was here and .Stenhart . was here! ? ^Slowly and cautiously, be took a sftep nearer;' he was in the deep shadow of the,house and the window ledge was on' a level with his eyes. There was no curtain, and he had a clear view of the low-ceiled room. A trained nurse stood at a table be­ side the bed, dropping some medi­ cine slowly into a glass, and the lamplight was focused on her white uniform; but - beyond her, in the shadowed four-poster, lay the inval­ id. He had raised himself on his elbow- and was talking to her, a slight flush deepening the color of his handsome face. The man at the window caught the sharp dean outline of his profile, the fevered brilliance of his dark eyes, the hol­ lows in his cheeks. There was a look of mental conflict, of unrest. “It’s bitten in,” the’ outsider thought, with a kind of bitter satis­ faction; “after all, it’s bitten in!” - Then something, the daredevil in him, made, him lean forward and speak slowly, distinctly, loudly, one word: “Sherwin!" Stenhart heard it. He sprang up in bed with a cry, his hands shak­ ing at his throat, his eyes staring at the darkness of the window. His tormentor, seeing it, laughed grim­ ly, but he saw the nurse turn and come toward him. She must not find him there! Softly, swiftly, he dropped back into the. night and made his way to the front door. “MacDowell has just 'phoned from the garage how kind you were when he sprained his am), and I want to thank you. We, my brother and I, both think a lot of old Mac!” The girl had risen from her. seat at Jim’s old desk as she spoke, and she faced him. He saw the fine curve of' her chin and throat, and the black-lashed blue eyes. She was an upstanding girl; she could run the' ranch alone in Jim’s absence. The men all looked up to her, held her in high esteem. The newcomer did not speak and she went on quickly: “Mac says you’d like something to do about tha ranch'and . we need men, anyway. “What—” she smiled frankly— “please tell me what you can do best?” The man reddened. Of course he had to expect something like this, but he was not one to whom false* hood came easily, and to lie to a fine, frank girl like this! But, after all, it wasn’t altogether a lie! “My last job was bookkeeping," he said, and then, as he saw the swift change in her expression, he added: “Not just the thing for a ranch, I’m afraid, but if Iifcan turn my hand to something out-of-doors, I’d Iilte it.” “You’re from the East?” her blue eyes considered him gravely, imper­ sonally, and then she smiled; “I’m. not sure but that you’re a godsend! I’ve been trying to .straighten up Jim’s accounts and it’s perfectly hopeless, he’s so splashy with ink and so bad .at figures! I’d be glad if you’d try-your .hand at ,these -tomor­ row.” As she spoke she Swept a bunch of dog-eared old books with her fingers. He came nearer and began to, turn them over, snatching at this.strange opportunity to’ get into the house, the house where Stenhart was! He ran his index finger along under the name—written in Jiin Keller’s big sprawling handwriting. “ 1EI Hancho de las Palomas '— you ding to the Spanish down here,' eh?” She laughed:.. " ‘Las Palomas’ sounds so much better than just plain English. 'Besides, there used to be .many’.do^es here—there are' still. Can you untangle those fig- 'ures, do you think?’.’. “Surely I can—they’re quite sim­ ple.” "Simple? I was all snarled up!" she- laughed softly again. “Then you’ll do this until Jim comes?-.. I—” she hesitate^ blushing unac­ countably; “I can’t make any terms—of course you understand that? My brother’s the boss, but if you can wait— . “Oh, that’s all right, you’ll be feeding and lodging me, you see!” For- the first time, he laughed and his. fafce lighted up. -.“Money isn’t the only thing I caih«’West fot!’’;. ■ The girl gave him a quick, quea> tioning glance,. but'his face was in the shadow and die made nothing of it.“Oh, I knowr-adventure!” ' sh» said, watching him. He nodded-grimly.- “The great a4>^ venture!” he said, in an odd tone.'(TO BK CONTINUED) - ' IMPROVED’ — UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S U N D A y C H O O L esson By'HABO& ll. LtmDQUiSt. b. D.Of The.

The most powerful movement for national prosperity is a revival of spiritual Oiristian living. Israel had come to the place where the people recognized, that they, were on the brink of national disaster. One of the scriptures on revival is II Chronides 7:14: “H'my peo-' pie, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from -heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will Heal their land.” This is the way of revival and prosperity for America, too.

Factors That Determina Veteran’s Pension Bate Where veterans of World War II have a disability incurred in or ag­ gravated by service in the armed forces, there is no set disability pen sion he may receive, the amount being determined by the degree of disability upon examination by the Veterans’ administration. The rates of pension range- from $11.50 per month for a disability of a degree of. 10 per cent to $115 a month for total disability and where certain specific disabilities occur, such as a loss of hands or legs, or blindness, or combinations of dis­ abilities, the amount payable may be as high as $265 per month. These rates are determined, as near as possible upon the average impair­ ment of earning capacity. It must be remembered, and particularly in cases of World War I veterans, where application is made for disability pension, not service-connected, that these pen­ sions are not payable if the dis­ ability is the result of the veteran’s own willful misconduct or vicious habits. Also where total disability is not service-connected, pension is not, payable' to the veteran where fte annual income is $1,000 if un­ married, or if it exceeds $2,500 if be is married. . Many times, the experience shows, according to the Veterans’ administration, World War I veter­ ans applying for pensions years after World War I for non-servioe- connected disability are turned down because the Veterans' admin­ istration decides the disability is due to foe “willful misconduct or vicious habits” of the veterans. Questions and Answers Q. My son has been In the army for -22 months and spent 16 months in England, France, Belgium and is now in Germany. He is. with the 2262 quartermaster truck company. Does the war department have any word when this company will be shipped home?—Mrs. H. N., Plank- iagton, N. D. A. As" of February 15 this outfit was in Ausbach, Germany, and the war department has no word on when it will be. returned to this country. .. " Q- My son, wbo is In Japan, made ant his lnifflranee papers to me be­ fore he went overseas. I have been married since that time. Do I have to have my name changed on the - policy?—Mrs. J. W., Fort Bragg, C tlii. A. The Veterans’ administration says it would not make much dif­ ference, but would probably save some time in the event the insur- • ance became payable. The veteran must make application to his com­ manding officer to change the name of the beneficiary. <5- Is a widow of a World War I w te tu who is elderly and in poor health, eligible for a pension if she has an income of $100 a month?— M n.' W. Mc., ArHngton, Mass. A. 11 death was service-connect­ ed, yes, she is entitled to a pension. B not service-connected, she is not entitled if her income is $1,000 or more annually, if she has no chil­ dren. I would ask your nearest Vet­ erans’ administration office, how­ ever, because the law says that <fflrtain items are not considered in­ come and determination - as to whether the claimant’s income ex­ ceeds ■ the respective amount is made by the. Veterans’ administra­tion. Q. My son was given an honor­ able, discharge in May 1945. I wish to know if he should draw a pension as he was wounded in Bel- gium. He was with Patton’s 3rd army. He is a member of the Amer- Ieaa legion at Fayette, Ala., Post Ne. N1$T, but as yet has not even been examined for a pension. No one. knows about the nervous dis­ position he has except his parents; —Mrs. IE. M., Fayette, Ala. A. From your letter, I would say your son most certainly is entitled to a disability rating, but he must apply to the Veterans’ administra-f tion tor. an examination for deter­ mination of the amount. Apply im­ mediately to your nearest office of ' the Veterans’ administration for this examination. Q. My boy died in the army in France. I want to know how I can get the large flag they put over the casket to bury. them. I know of SMtte mothers who have received them. I would thank you if you can teD me. — Broken-hearted mother, Brownsville, Teiiin- A. Briatives or , next of kin of de­ ceased veterans,-,who died in serv­ ice, may receive a United States flag'by' application to.;the postmas­ ter at any county seat post office. Application may be made on Vet­ erans’ administration form - 2008 available at local office. H O U S i H O L P * Serve a Salad. . . Save the Vitamins (See Recipes Bdow) Spring Salads One of the best ways of fulfilling the vitamin and mineral require­ ment in the diet is to have a heap­ ing bowl of fresh salad at-luncheon or dinner. If tasty combinations of fruit and vegetable are used, the' family will' enjoy nibbling’ these precious morsels , of health. Salad' greens should be washed thoroughly and examined carefully to insure the re­ moval of all for­ eign substances. Then they are placed in a towel or a vegetable h y d ra to r and chilled before be­ ing fo ld ed to ­ gether. lThe bowl in which the in- gredients are mixed and the plates on which the salad is served should also be chiilefo .When salad materials are cut in pieces, they should be uniform and well-defined'enough so that they will not lose their shape in the folding process. A marinade is often used to add flavor to salad materials. This is made by mixing oil, salt, lemon juice or vinegar. Vegetables, fish or meat may stand an hour or so in the marinade before using. When several vegetables are used, each one should be marinated separately. I have chosen several orisp spring salads which I know you will enjoy using. They wiU be particu­ larly. welcome with fish dinners or meais' made up of .’casseroles or other heartjr foods. v JeIlled Vegetable Salad. (Serves 4 to 6) 1 envelope .

Meat Cooking' Hints: Grinding less tender cuts’fflf meat breaks down tough connective tissue and makes them, tender. Use ground meat for patties, meat loaves and meat pies. , Canned meats and ready-to-eat meats' may be heated or served with -vegetables^, and a starchy food. - There ; is , little waste in them, making IhCm economical.

With this message from the soldier’s Bed Cross chapter verifying the illness, the field director called on the com­ manding officer ■ who arranged an emergency furlough. While a courier aped up the line to fetch the soldier, the Bed Cross man was busy arrang­ ing transportation. Within a few hours the boy was at the Bed Criiss field office where fur­ lough papers and a ticket awaited him. The field director droye him to the airport, and the boy arrived home Jn time—not to see his mother die, but to save her life with a blood transfusion. Today, six months after V-J Day, some 17,000 Red Cross workers are . still with the GIs at home and abroad. Hundreds of clubs and rest homes overseas are In operation where men meet on leave, get home-cooked food, and that prime American favorite— doughnuts and coffee. Music and en­ tertainment, books, magazines, and home-town newspapers, lounge' and writing rooms—all are1 popular. For men staying overnight there are com­ fortable beds, dean sheets, and hot showers. More important than Bed Cross services to the able-bodied are those for the wounded and ill. In army and navy hospitals the country over, pro­ fessional and, volunteer Bed Cross workers serve in man; ways. To the hospitalized a financial or family problem may prey upon the mind and dull the will to recovery. Hnder guidance of Bed Cross medical social workers many a problem is dis­ solved, and difficult obstacles are smoothed, while programs directed by trained recreation workers help patients forget their troubles. Bed Cross volunteers supplement these workers with every conceivable service. For example* there was the blinded soldier whose lace was horribly scar­ red, who was expecting a visit from his wife and five-year-old daughter. It would be the first meeting in two yean, he told the Bed Cross girl who was teaching him rummy with Braille cards. "My littie girl knows I’m blind and she’s planning bow she’ll do things for me,” he said. . But what she did not know, what had been kept from him so that, it might not retard his readjustment, was the way he was scarred and dis­ figured. The Bed Cross girl caught her breath. "That’s fine,” she said. ‘I ’ll meet them at the train.” Her heart sank upon seeing the tiny girl. It would be & job to pre­ pare her for the shock, to make sure she did not let her father suspect there was anything wrong. .Gently she told the child about her daddy’s face, how it would get better, how much he loved her, and that she mustn’t be afraid. Then, with' a prayer in her heart, she led mother and child to the blinded soldier. The crucial moment had come. Now, upon the actions of a little girl, the, future of this family would depend. For a moment the tot stood in the doorway, looking at her father across the room. Then, without hesitation, came the patter of little feet, and die threw her arms around her father’s neck. “Daddy,” she cried, “Daddy, it’s me—we’re so glad to have you back!” A simple service, yes; But it .de­ termined Ihe happiness of three people. Without the understanding heart, and the many who daily give of their minds and souls, the adjust­ ment of thousands of servicemen might be seriously retarded. The American Red Cross needs $100,000,000 to carry on during the next fiscal year. That sum is small when stacked against the heartaches stilled, suffering eased, misery. re­ lieved, new hope infused—day in, day out—because of Bed Cross ministra­tions. Because farm families have a big stake in the Red Cross they-consis­ tently support the organization. The Bed Cross is confident that families in agricultural areas* the backbone of the nation, will generously support the 1946 Fund Campaign. J a n u a r y D is a s te r s B rin g Q u ic k R e d C r o s s A c tio n .Destructive floods and tornadoes be­ ginning in early January were grim reminders that more Americans died in home-front accidents and disasters during Worid War H than as war casualties. By mid-month the siege, brought on unseasonably early by warm weather and heavy, rains, had claimed 54 dead and upwards of 160 hospitalized, Mcords indicate. Thousands of fami­ lies in rural areas of Il midwestern and southern states were affected. Red Cross chapter workers who last year helped their communities through 260 disasters have again worked ’round the clock. Assisting them haye been doctors, nurses, and Otiiern rushed by tile Bed Cross to Qtricken areas. Surveys for the re- foxnishing, rebuilding, Bnd repairing Qf damaged or destroyed homes, bams, ami other buildings began im­ mediately. Rehabilitation will be com­ pleted In. March. ■ Undoubtedly, new disasters will strike during the spring months and will keep the organization wozkiug at top speed in this humani­ tarian parade which never ends. In providing food, clothing, shelter,' medical and nursing care, varying problems confront the Red Cross, par­ ticularly in ruipl sections. In flooded Mississippi valley areas, Bed Cross has obtained a priority re­ lease' of house trailers to supplement fonts used in sheltering farmers res­ cued from flooded areas. .When evacu­ ation of farm, families and livestock has been necessary, coast guard and - Pavy boats have assisted. Recent coal shortages to djsaster areas weze'-m-. Uausd when Rmi Cross action resulted hi diversion of fuel to critical sections. An- hour after surveys have been completed, the Red Cross has obtained priority release of lumber and other building materials. Included has been Qtosen wire to help prevent the spread Os disease in malaria affected areas. In floods and hurricanes, local Red Cross disaster units, through advance weather bureau advisories, have warned residents to time for safe evacuation; fo remote sections, they have effected rescues. In all disas­ ters* tornadoes, fires, floods, hurri­ canes; train wrecks, they have quickly sought out injured, given first aid, and arranged hospital care. Hundreds of thousands of homeless have been sheltered, clothed, and fed. - In Paterson, New Jersey, a new chapter disaster chairman successfully tackled problems of the worst flood in .that city’s history. Two days after a Red' Cross disaster conference in Montgomery, Alabama, a tornado ripped through the city. Outstanding earn given the injured wrote a bright page to- the year's disaster history. In states where polio outbreaks oc­ curred, Bed Cross chapter volunteers hurriedly improvised hospital articles. In Salt Lake City, Disaster Service supplied face masks, children’s night­ gowns, hospital shirts, surgical gowns for nurses* blankets, and sheets. When flannelette could hot be found for hot packs, Bed . Cross supplied 1,000 diap­ers for the purpose. ' . But whether disaster or any Ot many other Bed Cross services, all are available to people to rural communi­ ties no less than to large cities, Home nursing, farm accident prevention, as­ sistance .to families of men to uniform mid to veterans—these services con­ tinue year-fa, year-out. Durtog lforiih the Red Cross is appealing for $100,- 900,000. ’ It needs- every bit of that amonnt to meet obligations to' tile armed forces and civilian population. "We all -have a share to the Ameri­ can Red Cross,” said Baril O’Connor, Bed Cross Chairman, ’ when UmoUnc- tog the appeal “ Let’s all matotofa that share by contributing generously to the 1946 Fnnd Campaign and keep­ ing our Bed Cross society the strong­est in the world.” I M ud-D aubers Down here to the Mississippi Val­ ley we are all acquainted -with a species of wasps called mud-daub- ers. They are relatively harmless, build little adobe huts to high, pro­ tected spots and look out for their own interests. Bytostinct theyare > engineers and diplomats but, like so ; many insects, they know very little. ; about modern industry. Some of I their mistakes are costly. An aristocratic family' named Sceliphron Cementarius (common mud-daubers) got busy one summer and built a fort inside the vent pipe cm top of a big steel tank of heating oil. The tank had been filled in the Spring for Fall marketing and stood quiet tor months. Finally came an order for a barge load of heating oil. and the plant owner started -pumping it out of storage. Sudden­ ly the big tank collapsed. Too Much Authority The ' oil man’s motor-powered pump silentjy pulled out the liquid and built up vacuum inside the tank. .Being to a position to. plug up a vent-line and call down the forces of nature, to destroy property and waste merchandise is too much authority for a mud-dauber. To be perfectly frank, the more I observe the workings of the OPA1 the surer I am that such authority is too much foe anybody. Right now our governmental price fixers have the vent-line closed on some exceptionally tight structures and the pump has already started. “People who buy machines shall not pay more for them,” says govern­ ment, but (with government consent) people who manufacture machines must pay more, much more, for ev­ ery hour of effective labor, and for every pound of processed material Strong for Service I am in favor of workers getting high wages. The more take-home pay America's factory workers earn and get, the more food and-feed stuff our farmers will sell. It means -prosperity. Just the same, nature’s laws are inexorable. If wages keep going up, somebody’d better uncork that price line or business is sure to collapse. Some firms already have folded up and more are in jeopardy. America’s big manufacturing con­cerns have some strength; of course they have. They' need financial strength to navigate economic storms, race with competition and meet payrolls on schedule. The more strength they have the more useful they are. That oil man’s tank had a great deal of strength too; was useful because it was strong, but it buckled because a mud-daub­er asked it to hold a vacuum. Sublime VandalismBig corporations hove to be ef­ ficient. . If they grow extravagant, a lot of small concerns with lower overhead stand ready to undersell them. and take their trade. Ac­ cordingly, big firms must operate on thin margins of profit. Figurative­ ly, they are tight. They can be “pumped down” by hdldtog their prices and boosting their costs. FOrd declares a $27 net loss on ev­ ery new car sold at.prlces fixed by government. Kearly everybody knows that America’s advantage over foreign lands is based-on mass production and volume sales, things wd have that they don’t have.. We have noth­ ing to gain and much to lose' by wrecking big industries. Theodore Boosevelt said, “I t . ... ought to be evident to everybody that business has to prosper before anybody can 'get any benefit from it.” . C reative S park Invention is declining in the United States. Between 1930 and 1943 patent applications went down about half , at the Patent Office in ’Washington. iTo be very techifical, •the drop was 54%-"per 100,000 of the country's. population. If the total number of-patents applied for annu­ ally had varied a great deal in for­ mer years, this would not be so sur­ prising, but it had not. From 1900 to 1930 our number of patents, increased each year, about like the population grew. Mamr people played at being inventors. 'Some.original gadget to make Iiv-. .tog earier could be found in process of develoDteent at nearly any wav- side wagon "shop. Maiiy a Jiouse- wife cherished what she hoped was a secret recipe. Boys and girls 'dreamed of wealth from something they might “think up.” . All to -the Good Onhr few of these formulas or .mechanical devices ever reached -the Patent Office* but the youngsters .who worked with them gained val­ uable knowledge. And out of this wave of creative energy came use­ ful things.- . Patent applications reached an all-time high between 1925 and 1930, and (population con­ sidered) patents actually granted broke a 50-year record, only a few months later. Invention is the spark of creative thought It was during America’s era of invention that the people of the United States rose up industri­ ally and climbed to the top of the ,world, to wealth, in education, to health and to living standards. In­ ventions increase employment, boost wages -and shorten working hours. Inventions create infinitely more jobs than they destroy. Historieal Sketch’ F. O. Richey of Cleveland, Ohio, -one of the nation’s distinguished patent attorneys, ,informed me re­ cently that toe history of invention divides naturally into four periods; * (I) Before toe 17th Centuiy when there were no patent laws and few inventions; (2) The 17th and 18th Centuries . with poor patent laws poorly administered; (3) From ear- . Iy to the 19th Century to 1933, and (4) since. America’s era of invention cov­ered more than a century back' of 1933, a period with Ben Franklin at . one end and Thomas Edison at the other, to which Chief Justice John Marshall stood out. for fair use of the patent system. Those were toe years when inventions and their sci­ entific development were profitable to 'meh of intellect—schools of en­ gineering and chemistry flourished. Spril of Hostility The Latin, who called Necessity the mother of Invention was wrong. Necessity makes people improvise; Invention springs from love of . achievement and hope of reward for good ideas. Among Europeans, the Swiss have the most freedom and lead to inventions. The Chi­ nese, having no hope of reward, invent little. In America, our Pat­ ent Office safeguarded the reward to toe 19th Century. In toe last dozen years, however, tUb U. S. patent system has been toe target of much verbal attack. Hold­ ers of patents are pointed at as if they had stolen something. More­ over the rewards, that come (by nature suddenly) to inventors, are twisted from them by taxation. What is the result? Inventors are , not inventing. Must America’s cre­ ative spark be quenched, or may her. inventors be rewarded?

Ander­ son caught the ex-President at Key West, Fla., where he was'fishing. “I’ve promised my family for sev­ en years to take them fishing,” Hoover told the secretary of agri­ culture, "and now at last here, I am.”Anderson, however, emphasized the urgency of the food crisis.“We need your experience and ad­ vice, Mr. President,” he said. “You can go back to your fishing imme­ diately afterward. But this is a time when your country needs you.” Hoover finally consented to come. BRICKBATS WIN ELECTIONS Two of the bitterest opponents on the house floor and in the inter­ state commerce committee are Rep­ resentatives Clarence Brown, con- servative Republican of Blanches- ter, Ohio, and Vito Marcantonio, American Laborite of New York City. Off the floor, however, the two respect each other’s ability and get along well. Sitting in the house lobby the other day they smilingly concluded an agreement which will probably never be carried out. They were talking about campaign expenses, when Brown proposed: “Vito, I’ve got a suggestion. Why don’t we both cut our campaign ex- penses to the bone? Here’s how to do it: “Yod go into my district and make three speeches against me. Call me a reactionary Hooverite, an isolationist, an economic royalist — and any­ thing else you can think of. That’ll elect me. “Then I’ll go into your district 1 and make three speeches. I’ll call you a Red, a Dago, a new dealer and an anti-Rankinite. “With the proper literature about you in my district and the groper literature about me in your district, botlf-of us are a cinch for re-elec­ tion when we do that.” Marcantonio agreed that the idea had merit, and they shook hands On it. NAZIS REMAIN IN GERMAN! A secret report on failure to de- Nazify Germany has been made to the war department, but is consid­ ered so shocking that it probably will be destroyed. It is now in the . office of Brig. Gen. Frank A. Meade. The report shows complete failure to clean ont high-rank­ ing Nazis. It also shows a sur­ prising number of so-called Ger­ man “laborers" who have secre­ taries and stenographers as­ signed to them. This Ts one of the latest dodges to get around the employment of Nazis by the American army. According to army rules, no former Nazi can be employed in any job more im­ portant than that of a “laborer.” Result is that many Nazis are used in important jobs, but listed on the books as “laborers.” That is why they are assigned secretaries and stenographers. These “common laborers” are then put in charge of important manufacturing plants. The report now in the hands of the war depart­ ment was made by the public safety and inspection division of military government. It may never see the light of day. HOW WYATT DID IT If there were more men like Hous­ ing Expediter Wilson Wyatt around, President XrUinnn would have eas-. ier sailing. The other day in Chi­ cago, Wyatt was guest. speaker at a banquet' of the National Associ­ ation of home builders, 3,200 strong, all hostile, all prepared to boo at the man who proposed revolutionary building reforms in order to com­ plete 3,000,000 homes in two years.! As Wyatt arose, the atmosphere was charged with hostility. How­ever, he told stories, explained his program, made no antagonistic statements, “If you gentlemen are against this program, then you don’t understand it,” Wyatt said. “It’s my fault for not making it clear.” After 45 minutes, having won over a considerable part of the audience, he stopped. Then for 45 minutes more he answered questions. Every inch of the way he fought for his program of low-cost housing for vet­ erans. Finally, when he finished, ev­ ery builder in the huge dining room rose Io his feet and cheered. NOW WHITE SPAGHETTI Some of the strongest opposition to the President’s .“dark bread” or­ der is coming from an unexpected quarter — spaghetti manufacturers. - Spaghetti, macaroni and noodles are made from semolina, a gritty flour made, in, turn, from durum wheat. Semolina millers, as well as spaghetti makers, are up in arms about the "dark bread” order, de­ claring it will drive them out of business. A -number of semolina mill* have filed an exception.

EGYPTIAN STUDENTS RIOT IN CAIRO . . . TOth demands that the British leave Egypt, students and sympathizers take possession of part of the city of Cairo without opposition from police. The .rioters ter­ rorized the capital, many fires were started and considerable damage resulted. Similar riots later broke out in Alexandria, rite of a great British naval base.

CT. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Vari- ety is supposed to be the spice of life, but so are arguments in a baseball training camp. The argu­ ment this time, including members of the Cardinals and the Yankees, had something,to do with brains on and off the ball field. '“Why is it?” one Cardinal want­ ed to know, “that a fellow can be sm art in _ many w ays, but dumb when he gets into football .or base­ ball? Or why he .can be p re tty dumb until be gets into some athletic competition, when he .may be smarter than almost any­ body?” ' . ----.--------- This is a fairGrantlandBice question. Does any­ one recall the most intelligent mem­ ber of the old Giant team from 1908 through 1913? I can give you, his name. He is- better known as -Bone- head Merkle — the Giant who for­ got to touch second base in 1908. Yet Fred Merkle was the best edu­ cated member of the Giant squad. But his reflexes on the ball field failed to operate as quickly as some others who would have been baffled by McGuffey’s second reader. Fred had to take time to think things out. You can’t do that when split second co-ordination or intuition must rule. For example, Rube Waddell was a mental eccentric. But there were few smarter, once the gangling. Rube reached the mound with a baseball in his left hand. There were two famous ball players who, as far as I know, never made a mental mistake oh the field. One was Babe Ruth who eame along from an industrial school. The other was Nap. Lajoie who was lifted from a cab driver’s seat -in Woonsocket, R. I., and a trifle later was surrounded and cap­ tured by Uncle Egbert Barrow. Neither needed any college degree to be smart on. a ball field. They were born that way. I n s tin c t a n d I n tu itio n The athlete who is naturally smart in competition must have a high degree of instinct, intuition and concentration. I know Eddie Arcaro figures it that way in racing. “You haven’t time to think in a split second,” he told me once. “There’s an opening or there isn’t an opening, and you have to make. up your mind in a flash. Which means largely instinct for. ,the right things to do.” : ' Ty Cobb had this natural instinct, this ability to concentrate, but Cobb also worked on these natural gifts. “I used to lay in bed at night for hours thinking up plays,” he said once. “I planned some pt these plays weeks ahead against - certain teams.” . ’ Old time ball players had no mo­ tor cars, movies, night clubs or oth­ er distractions to kill time. So many of them thought only about baseball. I mean such men as King Mike Kelly, Kid Nichols, John Mont-, gomery Ward, Charlie Comiskey,, Hughey Jennings, 1 Clark Griffith, John McGraw and most of the old1 Orioles. The main mental asset in any game is concentration. Many have, this needed ingredient more than1 others. But the art or knack of con­ centration can also be developed.' Concentration means keeping ycur mind on the. job from start to fin­ ish. As Knute Rockne used to tell his squad—“Keep physically relaxed — but mentally alert.” - B o r o w y tS P r e d ic tio n s We caught Hank Borowy on the fly just as he was heading for the Cub camp and Catalina island. “How about Cub prospects?” we queried. “We’U need all the'.pitehing we can get this season,” the Cub star said. “By that I mean most of the other clubs will be. stronger where we win have about the same east We got little back from Uie service. The Cardinals, Giants and Dodgers will all be stronger, So will the Pirates, Braves and PhiUies. ‘ “We’ll be pitching to better hit­ ting strength all along.the line, while at the plate we face improved pitch­ ing alto. That means tough -going. A flock of dangerous^ hitters have been added to the league since last fall. “Hitting in the two leagues? I can’t see much difference. I had a better record in the. National than I had in the American. But my arm was in much better shape .when I joined the Cubs.” . I asked Borowy how the. National league race looked from his angle. “The Cardinals are the team to beat,” tie said, “with so much strength at every point. But they can be beaten. I’m sure we’ll be up there. The Giants have aU the pow­ er any team needs at bat, Imt their pitching' is still uncertain. What pitcher can Mri Ott depend on for as many as 18 games? “The Dodgers will be better and they , were tough enough at times last season. The Pirates will be im­ proved and the Braves will probably be bothering everybody. fU iu d iL P M , The reason a dog has so many friends is that his tail wags in­ stead of his tongue.

D O A Iti PILLS THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. xI U e e ffo m e in WASHINGTON By Walter* Shead WNOO w iIpmM VHU Wtahinrtm A m u, . UU E n St.. H. W. Powerful Lobby Fighting Missouri .Valley Project VIGOROUS freshman Congress* '•m an Charles Reymon Savaghof the state of Washington’s third dis­ trict, former official of both CIO and AFL unions, former grange master and 4-H club leader, and Wmself a construction engineer, touched the match which may se^ off a congressional investigation into' the lobbying activities of power’and •other interests seeking to defeat the regional authority measures for public control of the Missouri, lGplumbia and other river basins. CThe young Washington congress^ man minced no words when he chUed upon the congress to insti­ tute an investigation “of the ex­ penditures and of the corrupt prac­ tices’’ of the organizations lobbyiog against passage of these measures seeking to harness the rivers under •congressional grants of regional au­ thorities. Last fall this writer told you of the formation of one of the most powerful lobbies hr Washington’s legislative history to defeat the Mur­ ray ldissouri Valley authority bill -and companion bills, which include the Columbia River Valley authority- measure..Now the lobby has been dragged -onto the floor of congress and un­ cloaked for all . to see as -"the largest lobby of its kind In all pow­ er history . . . spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in­ fluencing legislation. . . . ” 1 !Congressman Savage declares the lpbby consists of a “small group of nfen, led by a former Insifll com­ pany official, spearheading the or­ ganization, '-financing the- operation of these .three high-sounding organ­ izations: the Reclamation associa­ tion, the-.. National. Association <4 Electric companies, and the natural resources committee of the U. S. chamber of commerce. O af fo R o o k People “They are tied together as tit Iy as peas in a pod. in'their p: to rook the American people,” Con­ gressman Savage said. , He charged’these organizations are seeking to prevent the'construc­ tion of power dams by government in the nation’s rivers. Failing in that,, they are seeking to>buy the .power at the bus bar "to repeat •their Muscle Shoals steal by pay­ ing the government a fifth of a .-cent a kilowatt and force the peo­ ple to pay 10 cents.. . . 50 times as ’much as it cost them.” ! The gentleman from WasbiiMton state charged that the lobbies have entered into “a definite conspiracy to break the Holding Company act” ; that they are seeking to cripple the •Rural Eflectric administration, to 'discredit TVA, to block the Colum­ bia River Valley authority bill and ,'to thwart other public power pro­ grams. ! He declared that the lobby was •headed by Purcell L. Smith and Kinsey W. Robinson. Smith, he Said, is former treasurer of Illinois Power & Light, jointly owned by the late Sam Insull and Norffi ,American company. Also he was a former president of the InsuR hold­ing company, the Mid-West corpora­ tion, and then, an officer of the Commonwealth Edison company of •Chicago.“He (Smifh) Isnow receiving $65,- 000 a year for his lebbying efforts,” Mr, Savage said. Mr. Robinson, the congressman charged, is leader of the resource committee of-the D. S. chamber of commerce and presi­ dent of Washington Watdr Power company and “has been lobbying against Colombia river legislation since 1937.” He charged that the lobby through referendum 81 of the U. S. C. ofjC., attempted to get support for legis­ lation placing Columbia river pow­ er into their hands ai'the bus-bar in the recent Rivers and' Harbors biti, but failed. G ift to S lic k P rom oter* “If that provision had gone into the bill, we would have deeded over all of our great streams, lock, stock and barrel, to a group of slide east- en and midwestem promoters,” Savage said He charged that power com­ panies were supporting the Wash­ ington office of the Reclamathm'as­sociation, “a lobby much. larger than the lobby which was ereatedi to defeat the WaIsh resolution cov­ ering an Investigation into power- trust financing and propaganda in 1986." He - cited evidence intending to show that the efforts of the Mbby had postponed indefinitely further hearings on the Missouri valley authority bill and the same attempt was being made before the house rivers and harbors committee on the Columbia river, authority bill. Referring to the activities of Pur-, cell Smith, Savage\said: “This for- 1 mer InsuU associate recently stated that 95 power companies are sup­ porting his office here in Washing­ ton. We will find their, handiwork in every bureau and department, and in much of our legislation,” TURNING POINT By M a ry Im la y T a y lo r W.N.U.

Another question was on her lips, but a door opened suddenly and the trained :. nurse came down the long corridor toward them. Jane turned quickly. “Anything wrong, Fanny?" The nurse shook her head. “He’s gaining all the time.” "Fine!” ■ Jane turned in an ex­ planatory way to the stranger: “A friend of my brother’s, Mr. Sten- hart, was taken suddenly ill with pneumonia here; we couldn’t let him be moved and he’s been having a hard time. Miss Sewell, this is the friend in need who helped old Mac. Mr.—?” she looked around. “Actu­ ally, I-,don't know your name!” “John—” he began, and stopped, momentarily confined. “But there’s more to it than that!” she laughed. His face .burned; he was trying to rememtier what name he had giv­en old MacDowell; unaccountably it seemed to evade him, and again he hated to lie}to this girl. “Hazlett,'^he said at last. Her eyes met his for an instant and he thought there was a ques­ tioning look in them, but she wrote his name dojvn mechanically on a slip of paper on foe desk. “John Hazlett.’’ ,It had a bizarre effect; he knew that it would be hard to get used to it. He stared at-it oddly himself, then suddenly aware that his look might bC a self-betrayal, he avert­ ed his eyes, conscious that he had lost the thread of the talk between Jane Keller and the nurse; but Jane was sorting the mail for her. • “Here are yours, Fanny, and some for Max.” She held them out, and the nurse, gathering them all up, departed hastily toward the sick­room. “ ’John Hazlett,* ” she repeated quietly; then lifting her honest eyes to his, she added: "that’s not your name.” Her look threw him a challenge even more forceful than her words. Again he felt the hot blood rush to his face, but-he straightened him­ self. H ^ eyes seemed-to reach to something deep down in his con- “You’re right,” he admitted harshly,' “it’s not my name.” She stood a moment silent, the wind from the open window beside them stirring her dark’ soft hair, then she bent down and lit a small lamp .on- the. desk. ,“Isn’t that an unusual thing for 'a stranger to admit so easily?” she askfed. “I scarcely know what I ought to do about it—but,” she hesi­ tated, “I don’t believe you’ve come here wjffi any thought of harming us, and-t-well, it’s this way, Jim and I have often talked it over, so many men come west to get a new start, to retrieve mistakes—if they can! We’ve felt-they ought to have a fair chance, that - a man must have a chance to come backt I—” she gave him a frank1 smile—“you won’t tail me, wiU you, if I ask no questions but give you fairly your chanfee her*-* to make good?” She saw his gray eyes darken and there Werqfhard lines about his lips; he seemed suddenly oldef than she had thought him. Theb he puffed IffinseIf together and met her look squarely. "You may trust me so far—I came here with no foAight of harm to you or your brothe/S I can affirm that on my soul!” he declared hoarsely. . She nodded. ‘Tm Htte of it, and, because. J’m^Egffe of it. I’m going to give you ybiir fairehsfice. I’m not even asking your true name, but—” she-smiled again and held out her hand—“I ask you to make good.’’ He had a confused consciousness of the touch'd! her soft, cool fingers qnd an overbalancing impulse to Speak out, to tell her all, swept him. i paled under his tan and their eybs held each other. It seemed as if'Be must speak, then there was a flash in the night outside the win- dow,-a sharp report and something ripped through his sleeve and spat on the wall behind them. Ja& gave a startled cry, but be­ fore, me could move, almost before she could think, the man.beside her had put. .out' the lights; he seethed to tkgit with one sweep of his arm. TitenjShe felt herself lifted and put back beyond the window. “Keep still—I’ll get him!” His voice was in her ear; She had felt his strong arms as he swept her out of danger, and she made out hisfigure as he leaped through'ffie window. There was another Bharp report and then the sound of a struggle out­ side. The girl fled , lightly to the kitchen to give the. alarm; she must rouse the men, who she knew were at supper. It must be Jordan, and Jordan was a hard man to handle. Suddenly she felt a thrill of fear for the man who-had leaped out in the dark; he mustn’t' be hurt, he mustn’t! It did not seem to her at the moment that he was a stranger. He was a brave man; she had seen his face when he swept out the lights. .Sbe ran, panting, to get help ter him.- At the moment he needed it. He had leaped out on a crouching fig­ ure, there had been a struggle for the pistol, and then the two rolled over on the turf, fighting silently,, desperately, each man trying to get the other’s throat In the dark, Jor­ dan had the advantage; he knew the ground, knew where the slope would set his adversary rolling down over a ledge of rock'. Struggling and curs­ ing, he dragged that way. He had long arms and an iron grip, but he had met his match; this man whom he had never seen before had been I m <9 “ ‘ John Hazlett,* ” she repeated quietly; then, lifting-her honest eyes to his, she added: “that's not your name.” trained in a hard school. He rolled Jordan over and got his hand almost on his throat, then suddenly they both went over the ledge. Below it, Jane had planted poppies. The two men fell together, struck and un­clenched. Jordan leaped up and ran. His antagonist had struck his head on a stone, and there was an instant in which he saw stars and heard the shouts from the house; Jane had roused the vacqueros! He rose dizzily to his feet, brushed his hand across his eyes, and fried to discern the fleeing figure. ;The moon was just rising behind the mountains; -the sky was Silver with it, but the earth was dark, lilte the bottom of a cup. He ran forward, stumbling now and then on strange ground, but, as the sky brightened, he made out the dark figure ahead of him, still running. He did not know where they were going. Behind them -was a confusion of sounds, in front he began to hear the. cattle in tbs corrals, but he kept on,' A flame shot out ahead of him. He made out the stooping figure of a man; something like a torch shot up in the air, hurtled forward and fell blazing. As it fell he saw that- the gates were open and tilings were moving. He heard bellows of terror, saw horns flash in the’light of a blazing torch, and the -very earth shook under his feet VA flood of dark, seething, writhing shapes poured out. Another torch- blazed on the other side, another herd broke loose, the gates caught fire, the night was ablaze with flame -and smoke, and bellowing animals Were rushing together in a great stampede. One herd rushed at the- blaze, another trampled < over it, with pounding hoofs and whirling horns; bellowing with terror, the cattle stampeded. In the nick of time, the young man sprang behind a. huge old free trunk and the red stream! parted and flowed past him. Dust blinded him, but he heard the trampling of horses and the shouts of the vacqueros; they were riding down from the house and he caught ft wild cry from the man whom Mac had called “Pete.” £ “By gosh, he’s let loose the year­ lings; the gates are afire!" Not only the gates, but some piled brushwood had caught. The flames leaped up ten feet in the wind and sent wit long, black streamers over the bellowing herd and thewild fig. ures of the riders. The vacqueros shouted and whirled their quirts, fry­ ing to stem the tide, but the year­ lings were wild. Som^of them were splashing and floundering in the creek, some headed straight for -the canyons, but a tew.plunged into the flames and came but smoking and mad. Bellowing with pate and fury, they charged at the shouting herd­ ers. Here a horse was gored, there a rider went down and the horse , bolted tor ,the stables.T he brightening sky was streaked with black smoke clouds, pandemonium; reigned. The man who had called himself “Hazlett” straightened against bis tree; he saw a riderless horse com-; tag, his bridle flying loose. With a leap he reached the frightened ani­ mal’s head, caught the reins and clung by main,force. There was an instant of intense;action, the-horse plungingand ’kicking, then the man conquered and scrambled to the saddle. The flames seemed to have gained new fuel; when they died down in one place, they leaped up in another. Everything that could burn; was afire.. The wind carried burn­ ing brands and tossed them on mad­ ly, whirling horns, bulls gored each other in sheer terror; the distant ranch-house shone white in the re­ flection, the mountains loomed black against a silver sky. The young man who had never, seen the like of this before, held in the frightened1 horse and thrilled with a new emotion; he tasted free­ dom, adventure, the joy of living. He knew nothing of herding these, wild things, but he longed to ride into the midst of it, though he felt, his horse trembling under him,. Then, in a flash, he saw a big car speeding toward him; the moonlight showed it clearly, when it stopped and a man leaped out and came run­ ning into the thick of it; As he came he recognized him ; it was Jim Kd*. IerI \Back before he was expected. A moment before he would have' been safe, but the herd had broken, some of the yearlings had turned be­ fore the shouts of the vacqueros. With a riish they came straight for. the single figure in front of them; in half a second it would be too Iatel Hazlett had no spurs, but he struck his heels into his horse’s sides. Frightened, the animal shot forward in front of the oncoming rush, in front of Jim. “Keep behind my horse—quick!” The young man felt in his pocket as he saw Jim stop and reel with surprise. He rode his horse across the space and turned to face the danger. Flame and moonlight outlined the black forms and white horns, fifty- sixty—he could not count them. The earth seemed to shake under them, his horse plunged and he swung in his seat. They were coming, they were almost on him, they would trample horse and rider) Then he did the one thing he could think of, be fired point blank at the front row. There was a terrible plunge and bel­ low, and a big steer crumpled and fell to its knees. Its mates fled from it, parting In two streams and flow­ ing on either'side. In the center the horse and rider whirled in a wild semi-circle, shielding the man on foot. Again and again he fired, and, when he hit, they gave way, bellow­ ing. Flames were behind them, the vacqueros were shouting on their right; they hurtled themselves at the bridge, jammed it, toppled over and went into the water. As the stream of maddened beasts parted and swept past and left them, the young man dismounted. "Take my horse, Mr. Keller,” he said. • Jim looked up at him, dazed. “Who are you? My God, I was a fool;'you saved my life!" The dawn was breaking behind the, mountains when Hazlett limped up toward the house. HeJiad been with the other men in the saddle all. night. As the day broke the vac­ queros had been able- to ;count the damage—the burning gate's and brush, ffid stampeded yearlings, two horses gored to death and a heavy toll of cattle. Meanwhile, Jordan :and bis confederates had made good their escape; that hit the enraged cowpunchers more sharply than Kel­ ler’s losses. Hariett could hear them swearing in a queer, medley of Span­ ish and English. By this'time they all knew of Jim’s narrow escape and made room for the. newcomer more readily, but they drifted past him now to storm Ah Ling’s kitchen. Hazlett came slowly, his eyes on those windows into which he had looked the night before. Stenh art’s stricken face seemed to rise , before him again. He laughed bitterly to himself, then old Mac, coming out of the house, saw.him mid stopped to slap him on the shoulder with his well hand. “Gosh, you’re a trump, Hariett!" he said heartily. "You sure saved 'the boss. He wants to see you; I reckon you can get any place you want round Las Palomas now!” Hazlett stared down at the mud and dust that covered him from head to foot. . "He nearly broke my head; the honors are Ms,” retorted the young- er man grimly. Old Mac nodded. “That’s like .him, the fox! Come on over to breakfast after you’ve seen Jim.”Mac.pointed toward the front door and the young man, still reluctant, crossed the wide veranda and : en­ tered the hall. There was no one. in’ sight; the sun had not yet topped the mountains and that long corri­ dor was shadowed by day-gloom. Far down was-a door that shut in Stenhartt Involuntarily the new­ comer took a step toward it, then he heard a quick movement across the hall, a door opened and Jane came to him, both hands outstretched. "You’ve made good,” sue said, her eyes shining, "you’ve more thai made good; Jim told me!”(TO-BE CONTlNUEro IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SU N D A Y I c H o o L L e s s o n By HAROLD L. UTNDQOTST.

A NATION DEMANDS A KING LBSStni TEOT-I Smnnri 8:10«.MEMORY SELECTION — Blesswl b the niUon wbue God I* Uu LonL-Pulm 33:11. A major crisis.has come In the life of riA' nation when it is ready, to change ,-its fqrm of government. That was especially true in the case of Israel; for they were about to throw off the direct rule of God and de­ mand V; king. There, were-good reasons for their desire. Samuri was old. His sons who wgre to succeed him Wpte not honestd Sam.. 8:3). But thtfe iYtfe other. motives not so good; tat'-ex­ ample, ' their desire. .to have - the pomp of a kingly .ruler and a wish to be like.other peoples (v. 20 ). Their request was made known to Samuel (I Sam. 8 :6). He was grieved, but the Lord showed him that it was not His rule they were rejecting, but God’s rule (v.'7). The matter came to a crisis as Samuel was sent to reason with them (v. 9). I. Prophetie Words (w . 10-18). There is always a. price to pay if we are eager to follow the styles of this world. Israel wanted to have a king with an attractive court and a mighty army Iffie their neighbors, the other nations, but they had not realized that such things are not provided out of the king’s pocket. A word of warning may be in place here for Christians who have fallen for the temptation to keep pace with their ungodly neighbors— to “keep up with the Joneses,” as it is sometimes put. Government has a right to call on the governed for its support, but who will deny that the tremendous military establishments which the rulers of the earth have maintained have been both burdensome and provocative of war. We* live in a sinful world, and we may as well face the necessity of protecting ourselves and ^ policing the unruly, but think how much bet­ ter would be our lot if we like Is­ rael could have been under the direct rule of God. They did hot want it Are men any better today when they reject the beneficent rule of-the Son of God over their lives? H. Persistent Wills (w . 19, 20). The people refused to hearken. Their stubborn reply was, "Nay, but we will have a lting over us,” and one can almost , hear the emphasis on the word will.. . One might have expected that the leaders of the people would have sensed the IoIlylOf their plan and asked God to continue (6 rule over them forever, but the stubbornness of the willful human heart is al­ most beyond belief. When its deter­ mination is coupled with pride and unbelief it becomes an even more appalling bagrier to the blessing: of God. ’ : Therein lies the outstanding lesson' of these verses. Let us beware that we do not sin like.Isfael; yes, sin even worse than they did.. Joseph Parker in the People’s Bible (vol.: 6, p. 287) makes this'-acute applica- tion of the truth: “Do we condemn them? Let us not be ready with re­ proach; nor urgent iri- condemna­ tion. We are doing a deadlier .^ffiihg' it may be than the elders .of Israel did in this case. We am-fold that God isiangry with the wicked every; day ; that the wicked shall be driven! into hell, and all the nations that; forget God. We are fold that the liar shall have bis. portion, in' the lake which burnetii with fire and brimstone, that no drutikard shall enter,'.the ,kingdom of heaven, that; anything unclean, defiled or corrupt' shall not pass into the'city of God’s light; we are fold that) nothing re- maineth tor the sinner but a fear­ ful Iookingi for of judgment and; fiery indignation. ‘... - •■•; “What is the result? .Men can go immediately from the* hearing or readingof the. most terrific state­ ments concerning the future of the Wickedi and can throw themselves with unbridled license' into all the diabolical ,enjoyments which stimu­ late but never satisfy;'the corrupt soul." .' . m . Providentinl Willingness (w . 21. 22 ). \ Reluctantly, but inevitably, comes the divine expression of willingness to let man go, the way he wants to go. Israel shall have a king, says God. In faict.He had prophesied this day long before (see Deut 17: 14- 20 ). .■ So it is troe (to quote Parker again) that “we can force our way thrbughailsotemnwarnihg.aUpatb-etic entreaty, all earnest, persuasive­ ness . . . We can gq to hell if we will. . ..There ffi nothihg'before you but tevp, 'grace,' Wiercj1j 'tenderness, God. That is' alt There Ss a cross— hew it down! There is h&ay around it, a way through it a jway over it —you can. get tifere!" .., May we, neither as individuals nor as a nation, thus thwart God’s love and reject His warnings, and go on our own stubborn way into sin and sorrow. .

If you do not want to use the re­ mainder of the striped ykirt materi­ al in another skirt or blouse, -it. will make beautiful accessories such as a hat or gioves. The accesso­ ries will then pick up their ciie from the costume itself and. add a smart, finishing touch to the outfit.Should you be making a bolero sis topping for the skirt, then ,try the rounded shoulder effect. Pads can be purchased or made from muslin in a large , enough size to give the desired rounded effect! They should be fitted carefully to the wearer. - For making the pads, you will find that featherbone in two or three ply makes an ideal support for these pads. - They are easy to stitch to position with a long machine stitch. Making a Circular Skirt For the Suit The main thing to remember in making a circular skirt is to let the garment hang on a garment hanger overnight. This is done to let the fabric -sag—it it will—and let you make adjustments before you really turn the hem .and stitch it. Thm may be done after the garment is oh its way toward finishing. When you are ready to sew the hem, take the garment off the hanger and try it on with the shoes you plan to wear. The hem is then marked with a skirt-marker just as you would for any other type of skirt Now the dress is removed. Lay the skirt on the: table, folded at center-front and center-back lines and measure evenly all the way across the skirt Mark with chalk for length. Trim little off at the sides because of the sagging' bias seams and then measure the depth you want them finished in.. A circular skirt re­ quires a narrower hem than does a lengthwise skirt Turn, ..the raw edge under 'a generous one-half inch and clean-stitch it. Use a long, stitch to draw up the fullness of the hem With a bobbin thread. Whenthehem is- basted and the lower- edge pressed, try the skirt on again for fit. Then slip-stitch the hem into position, doing this with the skirt spread out on , a table so the hem will lie perfectly in position. Long slip stitches are best—and be care­ ful so that they do not show through. S e w in g fo r Y o u n g s te r s - You’ll find these tips worthwhile when sewing for youngsters just past the bib and tucker stage: .' I. Choqsing materials for, chil­ dren should center on the follow­ ing points: washability, wearabil­ ity, ease of making, warmth or protection, and attractiveness. / 2. The length of skirts, trousers and sleeves are important. Chil­dren’s clothing should look smart if you want them to be happy and Whrappreciatioft from their play­ mates.. 3.

They Like It! That’s Why Farmers Stay on the Farm KUTZTOWN, PA.—It was men’s night at the Kutztown grange,, and each man was asked by Mrs. Howatd Baldwin, lec­ turer, why he became a farm er. There Were I? responses, with 16 men replying that they were bom on a farm , Iikdid it, and in­ tended to stay. Some of the replies, as' recorded In the Kutztown Patriot, follow: 'T was raised on a farm,’’; said, Henry Babenold. “I had ‘10 years in the city, but was glad to get back to the .farm.” “You are your own boss,*' Ray Kiilp pointed.put. "You’re independ­ ent, and' the farm is . the ideal place to raise children. Personally, I like livestock, especially the old cows.” "At the end of a year you have something to show for your work- straw, hay, grain, your cattle,” added Thomas MprkeL “I like to see things grow.' To the farmer, Iarmjpg; means more than any btoeri oocupation can ’Mean to any­ one else.”- "I like- the outdoor life,” volun­ teered Wilfiam !Schulz, who spent 30 years in jpanufarturjng- “It means your own roof, 'Plantyl of food, and time to look around, riritch the sky and the clouds.” '“I was away frqm it tor seven years,” said George Schaeffer, “but bad to. gsek.out in the-open, so start- ed,4t again.” 1 " And so it was with all the rest, from the. soldier, just discharged to tiie youth still waiting his draft call. As Clarence Johnson put it: ’’The farm is the |>est place, for. it gives you toe chance to make something out ' of it, not only tor yourself but for other people.” SEA CALF . . .

State Wishes It Mad Bought Land From Mte Indians DENVER, COLO- - Rangely oil field, to northwestern Colorado, is the most sensational oil find to years but the state of Colorado isn’t hap­ py, about it.

But when it came to the Ute lands, it became necessary for the state tb put up $1.25 an acre. “The state officials objected and bargained for other sections. As a result, the state was granted addi­ tional land to Rio Blanco, Garfield and Mesa counties. That’s y/hy we own so much land to those Counties and none in the Rangely field. “H the-state owned the usual sec­ tions- in Rangely, our school finance problems would be solved for years to come.” , Moreover, another question has come up: Who owns the land under­ lying the bed of the WMte river? ,There are 170 acres of land, poten­ tially worth millions of-dollars, to be considered. Qil men and state officials would like to know who owns it.' Black Setter Pulls M aster from Creek DAWSON, G A - A black setter nam edSm okyis credited by Ms master, T. J.

MARCH 27. 1946 More Flowers In Postwar Gardens a I -Bheto Ooortesy Perry-Morae Beti Ca. IUs year many a home dooryard will take on ,gayer colors than for some years past. Victory Gardeners who concentrated on vegetable growing during foe war can now afford to give more attention and space to flowers while con­ tinuing to raise enough vegetables for the table. From now bn, seed of a greater range of flowers will be available, too. Certain kinds which were produced to a lintited extent or not at all during ♦ the war are coming back. Vou can And annual flowers suitable for almost any location on your home grounds. Is the soil sandy and inclined to be poor? Nasturtiums often like it better and bear more abundant bloom than when the seed is sown in more fertile ground. The same is true of poppies, portulaca, and zinnias. Do you have a hot spot’ where the soil is likely to dry out rapidly? Orna­ mental sunflowers, petunias, annual gaUIardia, calliopsis, sweet alyssum, four o’docfcs, and cosmos can endure quite a lot of heat and drought. No annual flowers will thrive in all shade, but in a place where they get sunshine only part of each day you can enjoy the modest beauty of pansies, violas, bachelor buttons, and mignon­ ette. Flan for a border of annuals that will furnish cut flowers over a long season with plenty left on the plants for door- yard charm. Most flowers do well in tile same kind of soil that will grow good vegetables. No annual flower in the world is more attractive, graceful, and longer lasting than the aster. Be sure to select wilt-resistant strains in their lovely pastel tints and shades. Other easily grown annuals with long stems for cutting are tall marigolds, giant zinnias, calendula, Fink Queen deome, and cosmos in white, pink, orange, and the newer yellow tints. With shorter stems, though still ideal for bowls and vases and effective in the foreground of a border, are lilliput zinnias, the brave array of newly developed dwarf mari­ golds, annual pinks and chrysanthe­ mums, snapdragons, and bachelor but­ tons in white, rose, red, and the popu­ lar blue. Somewhere near a porch where you sit after the day’s work is done, raise a dump arrow of nicotians or "flow­ ering tobacco.’’ The plants with their long trumpet blossoms are attractive, and a breath of the heavenly fragrance as night foils will well repay you for giving nicotians a spot in which to grow. , Buy Victory Bonds Regularly Hold Them; Here's What Happens I Weekly ■ Saving* SAVINGS AND INTEREST ACCUMULATED In 1 Year In 5 Yean In 10 Years j $3.75 I 6.25 19.50 18.75 $195.00 325.00 650.00 975.00 ' $1,004.20 1,674.16 3,348.95 5,024.24 $2,163.45 3,607.54 7,217.20 10,828.74 WASHINGTON^ D, C.—War Finance officials said here that weekly savings invested in Victory Bonds—$3.75 per week—for one year will total enough to make a down payment on a home.

They are relatively harmless,; build little adobe huts in high, pro- < tected spots and look out for their j own Interests. By instinct they are j engineers and diplomats but, like so j many insects, they know very little; about modern industry. Some of their mistakes are costly. An aristocratic family named Bceliphron Cementarius (common. ; mud-daubers) got busy one summer ' and built a fort inside the vent pipe on top of a big steel tank of heating oiL The tank had been filled in the Spring for Fall marketing and stood quiet for months. Finally came an order for a barge load of heating oil and the plant owner started pumping it out of storage. Sudden­ ly the big tank collapsed. Too Much Anthority The oil man’s motor-powered pump silently pulled out the liquid and built up vacuum inside the tank. Being in a position to plug up a vent-line and call down, the forces of nature to destroy property and waste merchandise is too much authority for a mud-dauber. To be perfectly frank, the more I observe the workings of the OPA, the surer I am that such authority is too much fat anybody.Right now our governmental price fixers have the vent-line closed on gome exceptionally tight structures and the pump has already started. "People who buy machines shall not pay more for them,” says govern­ ment, biit (with government consent) people who manufacture machines must pay more, much more, for ev­ ery hour of effective labor, and for* every pound of processed material. Strong for Serviee I am in favor of workers getting high wages. The more take-home pay America’s factory workers earn and get, the more food and feed stuff our fanners will sell. It means prosperity. Just the same, nature’s laws are inexorable. If wages keep ■ going up, somebody’d better uncork that price line or business is sure to collapse. Some firms already have folded up and more are in' Jeopardy. America’s big manufacturing con­ cerns have some strength; of course they have. They ' need financial strength to navigate economic storms, race with competition and meet payrolls on schedule. The more strength, they have the more useful they are. Tiuit oil man’s tank had a great deal of strength too; was useful because it was strong, but it buckled because a mud-daub­ er asked it to hold a vacuum.Sublime Vandalism Big corporations Asm to be ef- ttotont. B they grow extravagant, • lot of small concerns with lower overhead stand ready to undersell them and take their trade. Ao cordingly, Mg firms must operate on thin margins of profit. Figurativte- ly, they are tight. They can be . “pumped down” by holding their prices and boosting their costs. Fncd declares a $27 net loss on ev­ ery new car sold’at prices fixed by government. Nearly everybody knows that America's advantage over foreign lands is based on mass production and volume sales, things we have that they don’t have. WehavenotM Jng to gain and much to lose by wrecking Mg industries. Theodore Roosevelt said, ‘T t. . . ought to be evident to everybody that business has to prosper before anybody can ’get any benefit from It.” C reative S park Invention is declining in the United States. Between 1930 and 1943 patent applications went down about half at the Patent Office in Washington. To 'be very technical, the drop was 54% per 100,000 of the country’s population. If the total number of patents applied for annu­ ally had varied a great deal in for­ mer years, this would not be so sur­ prising, but it had not. From 1900 to 1930 our number of patents increased each year, about like the population grew. Many people played at being inventors; Some original gadget to make liv­ ing easier could be found in process ttt davdooment atmearlv any wav- side wagoii *shop. Bfhny a 'house­ wife cherished what she hoped was a secret recipe. Boys and girls dreamed of wealth from something 'they might “think up.” AU to the GoodOnly few of these formulas or mechanical devices ever reached the Patent Oflfice,. but the youngsters who worked with them gained val­ uable knowledge. And out of this wave of creative energy came use­ ful things. ' Patent applications ' reached an all-time Mgh between 1925 and 1930, and (population con­ sidered) patents actually granted broke a 50-year record, only a few months later. Invention is the spark of creative thought. It was during America’s era of invention that the people of the United States rose up industri- Ially and climbed to the top of the .world, in wealth, in education, in health and in Uvmg standards. In­ ventions increase employment, boost wages and shorten working hours. Inventions create infinitely more Jobs than they destroy. Historical Sketch F. 0. Richey of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the nation’s distinguished patent attorneys, informed me re­ cently that the history of invention divides naturally into four periods: (I) Before the 17th Century when there were no patent laws and few inventions; (2) The 17th and 18th Centuries with poor patent laws poorly administered; (3) From ear­ ly in the 19th Centiury to 1933, and (4) since. America’s era of invention cov­ ered more than a century back of 1933, a period with Ben Franklin at one end and Thomas Edison at the other, in which Chief Justice John Marshall stood out for fair use of the patent system. Those were the years when inventions and their sci­ entific development were profitable to men of intellect—schools of en­gineering and chemistry flourished. SpoB of HostiUty The Latin who called Necessity the mother of Invention was wrong. Necessify makes people improvise; Invention springs from love of achievement and hope of reward for good ideas. Among Europeans, the Swiss have the most freedom and lead in inventions. The Chi­ nese, having no hope of reward, invent little. In America, our Pat­ ent Oflfice safeguarded the reward in the 19th Century. Bi the last dozen years, however, the U. S. patent system has been the target of much verbal attack. Hold­ ers of patents are pointed at as if they had stolen something. More­ over the rewards, that come (by nature suddenly) to inventors, are twisted . from them by taxation. 'Wbat is the result? Inventors are not inventing. Must America’s cre­ative spark be quenched, or may her inventors be rewarded? U n c le S a m S a y s Down in Broad Street and Nassau Street, New Fork, I talked with big finance men. They conld buy big,long term bonds but they buy Savings Bonds like Joe, the miner, and Hal, the bus driver.
