Once upon a time it was cheaper
and more convenient to distill
wheat and corn and thus transport
it as whisky than to ship it as grain.
There were more whisky distilleries
in the average grain-raising county
of any of the % States than there
are today in any three of the 48
States. Whisky was sold every
where. The most general dispensary
was the grocery store. There. you
could buy tin cup full for cents
or flask of the fiery beverage for a
dime. BY 1885 the TASKS were no
longer dubious green things of no
particular interest They began to
go decorative. BY 1840 this fancy
bottle became a vogue. George
Washington" or Lafayette" or
Success to the Railroad" were en-
bossed on the sides of fat TASKS
that just fit hip pocket or slid into
the tail pocket of the long coats
then in style.

Read The Fine Print

At different times Meigs correspondent who mas
had considerable experience in leasing land for OIL ana
gas purposes has suggested that before signing a
lease the parties should read it over carefully anu
make sure they understand the contents. That sug-
gestion only good advice concerning leases but
contracts and other articles of agreement as Well 100
often people sign legal thinking it just mat
ter of form About all they read of it is the larger
type-just enough to what sort OF paper IL IS,
but not what it contains 1t happens sometimes that
sleeper such papers printed in very fine type,
and is not read understood by the signing it,
and yet it might the most damaging part of the con-
tract lease.
Recently one of the "short subjects shown in the
local Opera House. which based facts was con-

At Junk prices they would acquire old autos which
had been in wrecks and badly damaged-ht only for

When the purchaser returned to the dealer where
the machine bought and made complaint, the

words that the purchaser took the machine "as is

Good Argument For Selective Training

splendid argument for selective service training,
such have and for making the training sys-
tenn permanent thing in nation, comes out of a
recent meeting at Baldwin, Kan, of Youth Fellow
ship organization that aims to enroll about g.,
100000 young people between the of Is and 23.
This body of young people starts out by demanding
repeal of the selectve service act 1t wants complete
speech in the army CORPS including the right to
agitate for anything the young think up. It
wants conscientious objectors exemped from all kinds
Of service the semicvilian training such the
CCC, that they be given, instead of direct
army duty That is in substance what they demand.
Whether they were inspired to make such demands by
older heads, we do not know, and it matters not
But here we have large body of young people
meeting under the guaranteed freedom of America
saying what it pleases, but yet unwilling to turn
hand to aid America in maintaining that freedom
which their forefathers have handed down to them
through war, privation and hardship. In fact they
want to make the task of those who willing to de-
fend America harder, by agtatng among trainees
among conscientious objectors, and among those who
trying to split the country wide open foreign
policies.
These young people can't help from knowing that
they living in world of aggressor nations where
youth is being regimented If they but stop and think
they can see that in Germany, Italy and Japan all
freedom is taken away from the young people-the
very thing that young America enjoys-and yet they
would undercut the efforts of the freest nation
world to maintain it's position. If they had their way
they would break up the army and send the young
men in training camp back home. Pending that they
would break the discipline of the army-to sum it
all such program they agitate would leave our
country defenseess and those misguided young
people would be saluting Hitler.
While we dislike to young people go to army
training, and deprived of certain freedom, yet we
think of the freedom they and their children and chill
drens children would be deprived should the die
tators win this When it is all said and DONE it

anything else is the discipline that seectve training
gives youths

farm home, which with it's surround

Floating from pure white house;
nestled cozily behind towering pines,
came music never heard by kings.
Perhaps it was only Aunt Mary play
ing the auto-harp or the striking OF
grandfather's clock; but to my ear
it was as angels strumming their
harps. Best of all the melodious
tones, waited on the air, was that
of the dinner bell rung by Aunt
Sara, knowing as / did what was in
store.
Last Sunday I, again, went to the
home where John Garrett and his
wife Prudence lived and reared
their family of five and where their
son George now resides. The old
place still held much of it's former
enchantment; but, blended with it
all, was the merry laughter and
talking of grandfather's descend

and friends. A total of So gathered
