PLAIN VEGETABLES FIRST

Just about the time men were
taken out of the gold mines to dig
more valuable metals, like copper
and lead, the Agriculture Depart
ment called for more of the honey,
common and solid vegetables and
less Of the fancy kind.
Onions, potatoes, spinach, toma-
toes, carrots, lima beans, snap
beans-these are now the aristo-
Gratis Of the truck farms. They are
In demand.
Most things which milady loves to
arrange into pretty and tempting
salad dishes are ON the black list.
The Department asks for increas-
es Of from Is to 80 per cent in the
essential vegetables in the winter
production goals, and correspond
ing decrease in the fancy sort. There
are some in between, like green
peas. cabbage, beets and fresh to-
matoes, which are O.K.'d.
ut Is essential that maximum eff
fort be placed on producing winter
vegetables that add most to the Ma
tion's wartime diet, stated Secre-
tary wickard. The big problem, he
declared, is not the price the farmer
can get for his produce but the lack
OF labor, of machinery and other
things necessary for production. Such
handicaps are affecting production
OF that most essential food, milk.
The Department wanted to increase
the 125 billion-pound production by
10 billions. but many of the smaller
dairy firms are quitting and selling
their cows because OF lack of help.
The hope now Is that an increase of
s billion pounds may be obtained.

dreds of bombings, Cummings tele-
phone system is still intact. All vital
equipment has been installed in caves
drilled deep into the city's solid rock
cliffs. Telephone wires are SO per cent
underground. AS result losses and
damage from bombings to telephone
equipment amounted to less than 0.9

nerve center Of perhaps the most vital
service Of the English capital. 1t is
the control center Of the London fire
brigade. Huge maps cover the walls,
pin-pointed to locate fire-fighting APP
paratus available at any given
moment. Along one side is q large
telephone switchboard through which
contact is maintained with hundreds

Limiting Salaries

If you are one of those fortunae,
rare-receivers of salary of $4,000
year after paying your Federal
taxes you will have to comply with
a new Government order and take
CUT But if you qualify for $4,000
year then the Government order
Just freezes" you.
The sweeping order is issued by
new Economic Sterilization Direc-
Tor, James S. Byrnes, recent Assoc
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court.
Officially, the War Labor Board
and the Bureau Of Internal Revenue
will continue to function as hereto
fore. Unofficially the situation of
abor leaders with reference to
wages and hours remains the same
as it was before salaries were order
ed slashed.

Farm Labor Frozen

The War Manpower Commission
has ordered all necessary dairy,
livestock, and poultry farm hands
deferred from the draft as long as
they continue to do farm work. The
order does not interfere with those
workers moving from farm to farm
but it des not exempt them from the
draft if they change their occupa-
lions and give up agriculture en-
ployment.
Thus, your Government recog-
nizes the necessity of keeping work
srs on the farm to insure food sup
plies for our people and our Allies.
Great Year For Scrap
A scrap may be a private af-
fair that is being settled with fists
by couple of citizens. Or it may be
a scrap of paper in the form of a
treaty between nations. Again it
may be a war between nations; an
old flat-iron, or an obsolete battle
ship like the Oregon.
Donald M Nelson, chairman of
the War Production Board is putting
up fine scrap throughout the ma
ton to dig deep and then even
deeper" for vital scrap materials,
asserting that these sources must be
depended on for supplying the MAJOR
part of the supplies required for the
balance of this year.

HOW LONG WILL THE
WAR LAST?
BY ]. E. Jones

"This war probably will be long.
1t will be the toughest, hardest,
most merciless war we ever have
| fought" is the opinion of Admiral
Leahy, wso is accepted in Washing
ton as one of the Nations most de-
pendable authorities on the Euro
pean situation, due to his exper-
fences as American Ambassador to
Vichy, France.
Apparently Admiral Leahy has
very small hope that the United
Nations will inflict decisive blows
on our enemies in 1912.
No one knows what lays ahead.
But the die has been cast, and we
are, at last, very heavily involved in
the Pacific and doing very we'll.
There is no drawing back no mat
ter how great the cost, or how long
the struggle.
Troubles That Trouble You
The spirit of war sacrifice runs in
high throughout the United States
Nevertheless, a lot of folks are
troubled about troubles which they
seem to think are pushing them
around.
The election season put Congress
on the spot and one leading peer
iodical flew-off- the-handle with an
article, "Who Killed Congress?"
That was weak typewriter strategy
against the constitutional legisla-
tive branch of the Government. OF
course Congress is troubled over
war conditions-which is perfectly
consistent inasmuch as Congress
never has been wounded, to say
nothing about being killed. Congress
has been patient, and has supported
Roosevelt, because he is President
and Commander-in-Chie of every
Department of Government.
All wars have been full of troub-
les, and differences of opinion over
systems and methods about the
troubles of licking the enemy.
