No matter how the battle turns know they have had opposition in Russi We are not fighting to create a perfect world. We are at war to save what we have and it is actually in danger We are sorry for Mr. Gandhi, who thinks he could talk the Japanese out of their aggression. The Tokyo gents would steal his loin cloth is plentiful during the war effort but it the post-war Money might be scarce before we get through adjustment era. Better save some Dow Millions of Americans, serving nation with- out compensation, in connection with the war emer- gency, deserve the appreciative thanks of their fel- low citizens. the We like the idea of transporting supplies to Eu- rope by air but the construction of flying freighters to beat the U-boats would mean bigger pickings for Nazi fighter-planes The government is depending largely upon the women of the nation to make the salvage campaign A success and housewife of Centre county can assist her country by actively co-operating in the process. Of course, nobody expects the good ladies to get out and rummage over the country for old metals, but they will be asked to go over their homes thor- oughly and at some inconvenience collect fats, and where collection facilities are available, save other desired scrap, such as tin cans, We understand that 500.000 copies of an official plan have been distributed throughout the nation by the Women's Division of the WPB's salvage section, Children, as well as adults, are asked to join in the “no waste” cam- paign. every Isn't there something wrong with our economic balance when many of our farmers have to beg for help to harvest their crops while a half-hundred orf more able-bodied available men are being housed and fed at no expense to themselves, at the Con- selentious Objectors’ Camp right in our Own coun- ty? It may be true, as we are told, that these men are engaged in Nursery work at the recently aban- doned CCC Camp at Mt Eagle, but it is equally certain that it was the only place the Government cottld send them aside from a detention camp. Wouldn't it have been a matter of helping the war effort to have sent these men out each day in small groups from the camp to the various farms where help was sorely needed. Many farmers have had their source of help taken from them through mili- tary and industrial demands, and have been sorely pressed in harvesting their vitally-needed food pro- duets. The men at these camps show every evidence of being trustworthy, and some have had exper-~ fence in farming, It would seem, then, a patriotic Proprietors | I gesture, as well ns common sense, to have offered this Inexpensive help at this eritieal time, U. 8. diplomats returning from Italy report that life there Is getting tougher and tougher, Italians normally eat a loaf of bread apiece. They dunk It in soup, wine, eat it with spaghetti and cheese, eat It at all meals. Today the bread ration allows them only three tiny cornmeal biscuits a cay. Meat is al- most non-existent, U, 8, diplomats stayed at the best hotel In Rome, and looked forward to the one day a week, Saturday, when meat (not fish or game) was served. A ham costs 4.000 lira, or about $200, a chick. en 150 lira, or $7.50. Leather shoes cannot be bought at any price, and suits no longer contain wool. In spite of all this privation, Germany is berating the Itallan government for not sending greater supplies of food, and the Germans are withholding coal ship- ments until the Italians come across NE - —— " A newspaperman recently hired out as a ‘arm hand, to find out what really happened on a farm, He found out. Milking sounded easy, but without prac tice It wasn't. He plowed, and liked it. He sawed wood and lived to tell the tale He pitched hay. He fed stock. He helped cut grain. Helped the hired man epalr the binder and found out that a farmer has to be a mechanic as well as everything else, He per- isted for two or three weeks and liked it fine. But when asked what part he liked best, he sald "eat- ing.” Everybody on the farm.” so to speak, but some people do their eating a long way off, and the flavor is different.

These prices have been attained under a restricted acreage program. When they can be main- tained on the basis of full production by the agricul- tural plant of the nation the farmer will be getting his share of the national] income We have consistently advocated government as- sistance to agriculture because of the undoubted dis- advantage that farmers suffered in selling their crops on a world market while buying what they needed in a protected market. Two wrongs do not make a right, perhaps, but they tend to balance the economic scales It is to be hoped that intelligent farmers will study and understand the economy of world prices If they do, they will readily support a policy, after the present war, that will increase the flow of goods between nations and thus augment the wealth of all peoples. Our farmers must learn not to judge their income entirely by the prices received when there are other important factors to be considered. SAYS STALIN UNDERSTANDS Constantine Brown, who writes a column on for. eign affairs for various newspapers, says that the Soviet Government seems to be reconciled to the idea that the United States and Oreat Britain will not open a Second Front in Western Europe until they feel strong enough to exploit whatever initial vic- tortes they may win. He adds that Premier Stalin Is said to agree with the viewpoint of American and British strate- gists, that, considering the amount of aviation and shipping now at the Allies’ disposal, an adventure in France which would require the use of the bulk of our reduced shipping, might accomplish little of practical value and would also render us helpless to aid Marshal Gregory Stern's Siberian forces if they are attacked. We do not know where Mr. Brown gets his in- formation, but it is probably right, if for no other reason than the fact that Stalin is no idiot. Whether such views have been conveyed to London and Wash. ington by the Boviet Government remains a matter of speculation. Some of the news that comes from the nation’s capital is based upon table conversa tion and the active imagination of various writers, o3 ei This is the time for every lot owner to cut down the weeds that give other people hay fever, SUPERMEN OF THE U.
