SOYBEANS RIPEN LATE
IN NORTHERN COUNTIES
Extensive tests of soybeans, a crop
that is in wide demand because of
a multipicity of uses both in peace
and war, indicate that few if any of
the better seed varieties will ‘ripen |
early enough In central or northern
Pennsylvania to combine before Oc-
tober 15.
This date is too late for seeding |
the ground to wheat, according to
C. J. Irvin, of the department of ag- |
ronomy at the Pennsylvania State |
College: hence, soybeans do not fit |
into the customary crop rotations.

y in Beautiful Brush Valley
The observance of the annual Thanksgiving day;
Orie of the outstanding days, faithfully to pray
Young and old;
for bountiful blessings received,
Knowing well, that God has never deceived
It is the day, when friends and families meet,
when one another very warmly and happily greet:
And renew the blessed and happy social fellowship,
Life is destined, to indulge in a warm friendship.
Sometimes it appears, which makes {t much feared,
If prayer for all things, in the heart, is revered
To feast on turkey, only, and God forget,
Will cause later, some people, shamefully to regret
The main objective is, first, God to thank:
For all needed blessings—all in one rank.
Secondly, to enjoy the real bountiful feast;
And renew the social spirit which is not least
Evidently, at home, many
And enjoy dear home life,
soldier boys will be,
in sweet glee.
Dear home life, none will ever forget;
The affectionate home life, none wants to neglect.
Dear soldier boys, who, at
home, cannot be,
Uncle 8am, with turkey will serve, each one free,
He has an exceptionally big and kind heart,
And from the dear soldier
boys, will not depart.
Our free country, the source of Thanksgiving day,
In appreciation of it, none should forget to pray;
So all hearts become leavened with God's Bpirit,
And continually have the experience, of its revisit.
HOME is the sweetest word; and Oh, so dear,
To everyone, because, parents wiped many a tear.
True, that death, broke many a sweet home up,
But we are all destined: to partake of bitter cup.

(HARBOR DEFENSE AND ANTIAIRCRAFT)
e How would you like to shoot the wing off a Junkers
bomber — or watch a Zero come tumbling down in flames
under your fire? Thousands of red-blooded young Ameri
cans are joining the Army's Coast Artillery Corps for
that kind of thrilling action.
eo Mobile antiaircraft batteries of the Coast Artillery not
only guard our own country but go to every part of the
world where the fighting is toughest. Armed with the
deadliest guns, the most modern detecting and range-find-
ing devices, their exciting job is to knock Axis planes
out of the sky. Their slogan is “We keep "em falling!” And

they're equipped to move fast, wherever attack threatens.

down the night raiders. They use automatic weapons, so
startling and so effective that they've made Hitler shake
in his boots. They handle the big barrage balloons that form
a spider web of defense about our vital areas.
