Dear Sir
It seems to me that there has
been entirely too much "blah"
on the part of the Detroit Free
Press in regards to Macomb
county and our officials.
I still think that Macomb
county is capable Of taking care

led paper going off the deep

We've seen papers try the
same thing before, but they usu-
ally end up with big headlines
about their own governments.
Detroit Is full Of vice and graft.
1t always has been and most
likely always will be.
Macomb county has some
vice, little graft and no desire
to poke its nose into other peo-
pies business.

The editors replied to this piece

m n t, apparently remained
doubtful about the bill. Rep
Kilday (D.-Tex.) said in COM
menting on the need for it that
they will have to show u.s."
and Rep. Thomson (D.-Tex.)
declared it would take special
message from the President ia
get the bill passed.
One indication of dwindling
senate opposition was seen by
some legislators in a statement
by Senator'S Taft (R.-Ohio) that
he was willing to vote for ad-
ditional service for the draftees,
reservists and guardsmen pro-
vided proper safeguards were
included in the interest of the
men.
Taft, who has been critical of
many administration foreign
policy moves, disagreed with a
request set forth in the Patter-
son letter for removal of the
present limitation of 900, 900
selectees under arms at any one
time, but he said 1t would be
necessary to keep a substantial
number of trained men on active
duty to preserve the efficiency
of the army.
"We ought not extend the SER
vice period beyond the time
that actual necessity requires"
he said, land arrangements
ought to be made 50 that 100,-
600 or some such number of
men who have served q year
or more could be discharged
each MONTH"
Elimination of the 100000
limit on selectees would permit
the war department to order in
duction of any number of men
and raise the size of the army
to any figure believes necessary
for defense, provided congress
furnished the money.
This would permit the army
to be increased to 100000 or
100000 men Or even more as
equipment and training facili-
ties become available, but so
far there has been no announce
ment of intention to 60 beyond
the 1,725, 000-man force current
ly in the making.
In apparent reply to one of
the arguments which has been
advanced against requiring selec-
tees to serve longer than the
period now prescribed, the Pres
ident told reporters 1t would not
be breaking faith with the men
to extend their military duty so
long as the nation had need for
them.

act he said, provided that if it
was necessary draftees could
be retained either through de-
claration of q national emer-
gency by congress or through

es for the enemy"
The Soviet high command,
acknowledging that the Germans
had scored a temporary advance
on the northern front, gave this
detailed picture of the battle:
I'm the Pskov- Porkhov sector
(15O to ITS miles southwest of
Leningrad), our troops surround
ed enemy motorized and mech
anized troops and destroyed
them section by section, seizing
a large number of tanks, guns
and arms of all kinds.
The remainder of the enc
my troops have been hurled

Porkhov lies 40 miles east of
Pskov, the scene of last week s
fighting.
Premier Stains high COM
mand said heavy fighting con-
tinued all night also in the
Polotsk- Vitebsk sector, just
north of the strategic Minsk-to-
Moscow motor highway.
Elsewhere on the 2,000-mile
front, the Soviet high command
declared, mo large scale fight
ing took place during the night
and no significant changes in
the position of troops occurred"
This would indicate that the
Germans were making little if
any progress in their drive to-
ward Kiev, the Ukraine capital.

ed last Saturday that Nazi troops
were directly before Kiev," but
q German spokesman today ack-
nowledged that it would be "pre-

chew, 80 miles west of Kiev,

stated.

blow to Macomb county which
would have received the most
benefit from the parkway due
to the fact that It would be To-

confessed that they were pug

Wheat Cards
Now Ready
Will indicate
lesaI Limits

OWheat marketing cards will be
available to all Macomb County
wheat farmers, according to Cas-
sius w. Thorington, chairman of
the Macomb County Triple-A
committee. Every farmer that
expects to sell wheat will need
q wheat marketing card.
Marketing cards are made
available to wheat farmers - .
means of showing that their
wheat Is eligible to be sold with
out penalty. II excess wheat Is
sold. the person purchasing the
wheat must pay the 40 cent pen
atty. Elevator operators and
other buyers of wheat are CO.
operating with farmers in the
administration Of the marketing
quota law by requesting that Ill
farmers have q wheat market
ing card before selling their
wheat. This not only protects
them against buying excess
wheat on which the penalty has
not been paid, but also protects
wheat growers from price de-
preston resulting from whole
sale marketing of excess wheat.
Wheat marketing cards are es-
sential to the orderly marketing
of wheat, Thorington declared.
THREE COURSES
Farmers who have excess
wheat may do one of three
things with the excess, Thoring-
ton pointed out: (1) The excess
wheat may be stored on the
farm or In an elevator in accord
ance with regulations; (2) Excess
wheat may be delivered to the
Secretary of Agriculture for use
in distribution to relief; or 81
A penalty Of 40 cents per BUSH
ell may be paid on the excess.
Stored excess wheat is eligible
for q loan of 6 percent of the
regular loan rate. A wheat
marketing card will not be issu-
ed to q farmer with excess wheat
until the excess wheat is taken
care Of.
The intent of marketing quo
tas is not to force farmers to
pay a penalty of 40 cents per
bushel on the wheat they pro-
duced in excess of their farm
quota, but rather to hold excess
wheat off the market until it is
needed, Thorington added, and
marketing cards are necessary
to provide a check on this ex-
cess wheat.
The penalty on the farm mark
citing excess may be avoided by
one of four ways: (1) The farm
marketing excess may be de-
livered to the Secretary Of Agri-
culture for distribution to re-
lief; (2) The 1912 wheat acreage
may be reduced below the allot-
ment in the amount Of excess
acres in 1871; (3) If the actual
wheat production in 1912 10 less
than the normal yield, the differ
ence may be made up by excess
wheat; or az The excess wheat
may be stored until . marketing
year in which wheat marketing
quotas are not applicable.
Marketing cards can be obtain
ed at the county office on the
9th Floor, Of the County Build
ing in Mount Clemens.
