tack on the Dutch East Indies which has oil.
 The IckeS- Stimson -Morgen- thau group has claimed first that the Dutch East Indies were pretty well defended, that it would take Japan four months to seize them, and that Japan did not have enough oil to operate her fleet that long.
 Also the British fleet then was better able to defend the Dutch and Singapore. Now it isn't. Also we had far more ships in the Pacific at that time. Now some are at Ice land.
 So it looks as if we appeased Japan until she got ready to pick her own sweet time as to the best moment to head toward the Dutch Indies.

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Politicos of both parties are watch ing with keen interest the attempted comeback campaign of former Rep resentative Tom Amlie of Wis, run ming for the seat of the late Rep resentative Bolles. Reason for their interest is that Amlie, a fighting Progressive, is making the race as a Democrat, an experiment that if successful will be followed in next years regular primary by number of other Progressive Party leaders who are fed up with the isolation ist-appeasement stand of the LaFol- lette brothers. This bolt is being warmly encouraged by Wisconsin Democratic leaders. While Army brasshats were arguing over the merit of gliders, group of National Youth Administration students near Chelsea, Michigan, built two latest model gliders and have begun the construction of several more.

A week later that same merchant

Ray Z. Cameron, state club leader at

His report shows that 1.704 club

and each Of the four projects-beef
calves. dairy calves. sheep and swine
has shown a steady growth during the
last four years with 1910 proving an
all-time high for all but one Of the

Cameron points out that the In
creased interest in the livestock work
reflects to some extent the continued
improvement In financial returns and
better livestock conditions. Another
factor in stimulating the work to a
considerable degree during the last
three years has been the regional
junior fat stock show and sale held
at Billings where good marketing IA
cilities are provided This event Is the
goal Of most Of the Junior feeders and
climaxes the years activities.
Giving excellent support TO the All
livestock program are such organiza-

A BOMBER STATION IN ENG
LAND.-They're cranking up the
Bremen bus-that's what they call
1t now.
The night is warm, the moon a
bright crescent. Young flyers dress
outside the billets and lie around
on the grass, talking and laughing.
When all are ready they climb into
the bus, which once took vacationers
over these country roads.
The bus winds through the VII
lage, past the old parish church.
The villagers wave and the bomber
crews wave back.
At the airdrome the nights flying
rations are handed out. Some one
discovers some oranges in his pack
and whoops for joy. An ambulance
rolls up. The flyers show no notice
More buses roll in.
The crews pile into the bombing
planes. They take off Systematically,
the engines roar making the ground
shake.
When all have gone the night is
strangely quiet. Back in the mess
hall the radio blares A blues singer
means, but finally the broadcasting
ends. With the radio silent there
is no sound at all.
Then the engines of the first
returning bombers roar in the dis
tance.
One by one they land. The crews
filter into the Interrogation room.
Sandwiches, coffee and cigarettes
are handed out. Every one talks
freely, as though commenting on
a cricket match. The reports start:
Bremen hit hard many big
fires saw lots of bombs burst
lots of light flax (anti-aircraft
guns heavy ones, too q.
plenty of searchlightS
Lucky we got good patch .
we could see everything we
