two Mary Crews said to Lucy, He'll
be al right, as soon as he rests a
bit. I'll have to run along now :"
Her voice sounded choked. He must
have given her a terrible fright, he
thought, guiltily.
Mary Crews was half running,
half stumbling along the path, her
eyes all but blinded with tears of
relief Il wish he'd never come
to the farm!" she sobbed to herself.
Il might have forgotten all about
him! But to have him right under

Sible. 1t would be better to treat
him with contempt than to let him
know I care anything about himl
Why does he dislike me so?"
Presently Court and Lucy also
started up the path.
DO you like Mary Crews?" Lucy
asked him once as she trotted be-
side him.
"Of course" he said. "She Just
saved my life, didn't she?"
But did you before that"
"Oh. Lucy, cut it out" he NUT
tered Grossly. Lets don't talk
about her" He couldn't make up
his own mind as to how he felt
toward Mary Crews, whether he
diSliked her or liked her, without
having to go into a lengthy ex-
PLANTATION to Lucy.

Cour laughed when he read the
note. He felt humble and touched
though, in spite of the laughter. No
one had ever shown him such pure

Yes. MACHINES ARE GOOD
Wall Street JOurnaD

wv all street JOurnal)
Mr.. Paul Garrett, a vice president OF
General Motors Corp, did useful thlng
the other day in pointing out how labor
saving machinery was the essential OF the
war effort. The war will be won on the
assembly line.
Only short time ago we were hearing
from many people-WhO at least thought
they should be taken seriously-that the
labor-saving machine was an evil. lhey
said it caused unemployment and in some
way it ought to be bridled. OF course
that never was so. Carried to its logical
conclusion, that philosophy would have
condemned men forever to a life OF back
breaking toll for the necessities OF exist
ence.
Mr.. Garrett poses the question where
we might be without the machine and the
question answers itself. And we think
he did a useful thing, for some day this
silly, false theory of the evil of the ma
chine may be revived.
In a business symposium which TINS
newspaper printed some time ago 1t was
shown that industry now is looking ahead
to the period after the war, looking ahead
to better Methods more labor SAVING,
cheaper production. 1t is almost certain
that we will again hear how the machine
is creating unemployment When we
hear that, let us remember what our tate
would have been if war had found us
without these things. Yes, we must keep
the machine-until we get still better
one. Our task is to find out how those
who want the things that the machine
produces can be enabled to buy and con-
sumo them

Hidden around this country in private

more than S6,000,0 100000" writes Paul
Mallon. Much of it is in mattresses,
socks and private safes. The evidence
Is clear that a boarding era =. has reach
ed suspicious proportions since the first
Of this year.
Many of these hoarderS believe that
they are protecting themselves against
either initiation or government fiscal
policy which might force them to invest
their money. But, as Paul +. Cadman,
economist of the American Banking AsSo-
citation, points out, they have small chance
of success. "Hoarded currency is prac-
tically useless method of protecting the
holders of property against the arbitrary
acts of government says DR.. Cadman.
Early attempts to hoard money in con-
tinental Europe to avoid governmental
levieS during and after the first World
War were met by blocking bank accounts
and SuSpending transactions on the eX-
changes. Outstanding currency ceased
to be legal tender or to have any validity
unless it was presented to a government
agency and stamped TO indicate that a
tax had been paid or imposed conditions
had been met The holders of currency
found themselves in exactly the same
position as the owners of bank deposits .
The boarding of currency is about 100
per cent futile-and, on top of that hid
den currency is always in danger OF be-
ing burned, stolen, or otherwise lost to
the owner. Put your money IN the bank
or invest it. You will sink or swim with
the rest.

An economy program to slash So

The report was made public only

recommended a cut Of $1,301 ,O75,-

connected with the war program
The Institution report recon-
mended these specific economies:

The TRUTH

Can we take it as we'll as the people
of Great Britain?
That remains to be seen, but Prime
Minister Winston Churchill pays us the
tribute Of thinking that we can.
Our peoples would rather know the
truth, sombre though it be-" he told
Joint session Of congress, and added:
". after all, when we are doing the
most blessed work in the world, not only
defending our hearths and homes but the
cause of freedom in every land, the ques-
ton of whether deliverance comes in 1912
or 1943 or 1914 falls into its proper place
in the grand proportions Of human his
tory"
Our peoples would rather know
the truth :.
Churchill after all, seems to under
stand the American mind better than
some others. But. even beyond that he
knows the thing which prepares people,
any people, for whatever may come. 1t
is trust and understanding between the
leaders and the people.
Americans want the truth, whether It
be gloomy or cheerful. They ask nothing
more-except the opportunity TO serve.

VICIOUS RUMORS
TRAVEL RAPIDLY

Despite every sort of warning i'm every
medium of public communication there
is, the rumor monperS are still at il. Some
Of them work viciouSly, with intended
malice. They are the Sabotours. Most Of
them, however, simply have not Yet con
ditioned themselves to resist rumOrs, and
the repetition of rumors. They are the
ones the saboteurs count upon to spread
the poison.
Imperial Valley has had its share Of
examples. Most of them do not deserve
the dignity of print. (NOr the risk in
Cured that someday. reading them, will
misunderstood, and forthwith proceed to
spread the evil even farther) There is
one type of rumor, however, that does
deserve mention. because it is 50 wide
Spread-and SO cruel.
1t is the rumor that this man or that,
in foreign service has been killed.
Strangely enough, such rumors are
among the most popular weapons of the
enemy. Why? Because they are intended
to contribute to a weakening Of public
morale They are part Of the war of
nerves which go along with the war oil
guns. The person who repeats such
rumor, giving It wider circulation. is un-
Willingly aiding the cause Of the enemy.
There have been several instances here
already of this particular type Of rumor.
More than one family has been touched
unnecessarily with anxiety and grief be-
cause of false reports that q son had been
killed in action. When possible. this
newspaper has, in such cases made the
thoroughest possible inquiry and publish
ed-not denial for that would be dig
nifying the rumor-but short account
of the supposed victims latest reported
activities of messages to his family
Here is something to remember in res
pect to such rumors. The immediate fam
ily-the next of kin-iS always the first
to be notified if a son has been killed in
action. The notification comes by tele
gram from the war or navy department
in Washington-there is no likelihood that
anybody else. even in an official capac-
ity outside Of Washington, would have
prior authentic news. The family is the
first to know. If the family has not re-
ceived the tragic notification, it is as
much a certainty as anything can be that
the person who repeated the rumor to you
was, Willingly or unWittingly lending his
tongue to the service of Hitler and the
japanese. If you repeat the rumor to
somebody else. you are as guilty as the
person who told it to you.
Write it in your mind stamp it on
your heart, keep it in the forefront of
your resolutions: DON'T SPREAD RI
MORS.
