HARSH NECESSITY

The campaign, led by the principal
marketing cooperotves, to obtain
equitable treatment for the farmer, is
bosed on harsh necessity. In many
oreos, the farmers plight is close to
desperate. Wages are high. So ore feed

markets have disappeared. Toxes ore

often hear about the benefac-

or drive lethal bugs out of poor

about a studio makeup man, a
former jugglsr and circus clown
named Don Cash.
He makes rubber noses. Or

Here is one case:
Three yesrs ago, Joe x was a
thrifty and respected paint con-
tractor. A year ago-broke, be-
wildered and masked by q band
age-he stumbled out of a hospi-
tai. While removing a cancer,
surgeons necessarily had taken
off part of his face.
He was too old for extensive
plastic surgery. He was so shock
ing in appearance that there was
no use even thinking about try
ing to resume his business. He
suffered under the avoidance of
direct glanccs from his family.
Joe x wasn't a coward. but he
began thinking about suicide.
1t seemed a better way to go
than crazy.
HAPPY ENDING
One day after Joe x had gone
to a free clinic for a routine
check-up, young doctor re-
called a newspaper account Of
how Don Cash made some un-
believably lifelike facial addi-
tions to change the appearance Of
actors. The doctor telephoned.
The makeup expert said sure,
send him around. The charge?
Don't be silly; glad to help.
The end Of the story comes
from a letter written by hard
boiled official of q hospital: Joe

An ARMY TO De PROUD OF

The summer moneuvers OF the
various American Army units give
every reason for Americans to be proud
OF their army.
Some Of the conditions Of the prob
lens worked out have come about as
close to octuoI warfare as that can be
done in time Of peace, and some Of the
hdrdships undergone have Approximate
ed those Of on actual war; War Secre-
tory Stimson is probably right when he
said that troops participating in the ma
neuvers are far, far ahead Of the d.
visions sent to France during World
War l. Yet those divisions, thrown in
against crack German divisions with
four years Of experience back Of them,
did very we'll indeed. They broke the
German lines, at cost greoter than
they would have had to poy had their
experience been greater, but they broke
them.
So today. There is no reason to be
discouraged. The armies in training
todoy are good soldiers, and, given q
little more specialized training for the
specialized warfare of today, they will
be quite capable Of meeting any ener-
gency the country may have to meet.

LINGO

Words ore like people. Some Of
them get bad names, some good. Some
deserve the bod and some the good,
but all are effected by the reputation
they bear.
"Jinqo" has become bad word. 1t
hos come to mean an irresponsible
wor-moneer.
The name comes, if recollection
serves, from an old verse reading in
part, We don't want to fight, but by
lingo if we do, we've got the men, we've
got the ships, we've got the money,
foow
People remember the catchy word
lingo" They forget the I'VE don't
want to fight"
The United Stotes, whether we like
it or not, is getting into position just
little like that today. We, too, don't
want to fight. For two years we have
resoIuteIy stayed clear Of fighting We
have given up rights to ship our goods
by SEQ which we always claimed before.
No American ship was gone into Eu-
ropeon port which was bIockoded or in
the actual war zone, though we always
previously claimed the right to send
them there.
Why did we give up those rights?
Because insisting on them q years ago
got us into fight, and today we don't
want to fight.
What is the best assurance today of
keeping out of q fight?
Why, q clear demonstration to the
world that we've got the ships, we've
got the men, we've got the money,
too!-ond further, the clear demon
strotion that, if necessary, we propose
to use them.
The United Stotes hos nothing very

Especially since those signs ore ex-

their post performance.
There is chance to avoid war if the
United Stotes will pile up sufficient
force that no party Of World War ! will
wish to offend U.s.. There is chance to
avoid war if enough surplus war sup
plies are produced and sent to those re-
sisting aggression SO that they may win
out. There is q chance to avoid war if
u. S. power is so great thot feor Of it
forces decent peace.
But those are the only chances.
Otherwise the United Stotes faces war
whether it wants to fight or not In
either case, the ships, the men, and the
money are as necessary to the national

very well made by Miss Lupino in

He is happy man over that, not
merely because 1t aids the excel

1t justifles a judgment with which
every one concerned did not con-

for the role. Other, but not quite
so interested, persons thought sew
eral assorted bigger draw actresses
should get the part. The assorted
other actresses wanted the role, too.
