ton it is TO all of us. whether we
live off the main line" or not.
Supposing there isn't another
potato left in the bag or bin,
and four hungry folks are COM
ing TO dinner in an hour. Why
not turn to such equivalent
foods" as rice. or noodles. or
canned lima beans-tried and
true starches all. Or. supposing
there's not an egg in the house
why not be supplied with a can
of dried eggs--nothtng better;
or in case it happened to be mot
a drop of milk in the house,
turn TO condensed or evaporated
milk or dried milk powder-and
not notice the loss.
Or it may be there's no bread
and the bread wagon has mys-
teriously failed TO arrive. What
of it? Grandmother surely did
not have the services of even a
bread-delivery wagon, but tossed
up her own mullins, or corn
pone. or flapjacks-and who in
her family missed the usual loaf
bread? Better still, she might
have baked her own bread of
good nutritious flour, and been
self-reliant, self dependent of
any wagon, or gas, or service.
Grandmother could and did
take it."
But what if the perishable
vegetable supply fails-just sup
posing, though why it should
with any kind of good cool stor-
age. is another mystery. How
ever, enter the dried vegetable to
save the situation. For dried
vegetables and dried soups are
sprouting all over the place to
I take their stand in Victory
efforts.
The dried vegetable. often in
convenient shredded form. takes
little storage space, wastes and
willis not, and can be dexterously
added to last-minute saving of
any meal disaster. Dried carrots
and dried tomato paste. dried
turnips. and, of course. excellent
dried shredded potatoes, are
vaila bic everywhere. Soak
about Is minutes, or follow
special directions. and presto.

across his musical wing his love
songs fill the air. And they are
not melodious TO human ears.
The cricket. whose notes are
pitched lower, can make more
noise with his instrument than
most of the other players put
together. Entomofogists have
reported that, sometimes, he can
be heard a mile away.
One melody by day and an
other by night is on the musical
program of the cricket. He has
even been known to change his
tune if the sun temporarily goes
under a cloud. Usually. when
anyone approaches, he bashfully
goes into hiding and stops his
song.
The katydid, another fiddler
of the fields, has two sets of
wings-an outer set for flying
and an inner one for making
music. Near the base of these
inner wings is a set of strong
veins. But rubbing these veins
together, the katydid produces
his rasping tune.
The fiddle isn't the only instru-
ment on which musical insects
beat out their boogie-woogie. The
17-year-locust. for example, has
two abdominal drums to each of
which is attached a strong mus
Gle, which the insect can tighten
or relax at Will To make the
drum thump, all the locust has TO
do is pull up on this muscle.

Citizens To
Mail Early
Dept. Asks Public
To Make Certain
OF Addresses

The Post Office Department now
is starting the most gigantic task IN
| its history-the movement Of q de-
luge of Christmas parcels, cards and
letters while maintaining the regu-
lar flow of millions of pieces of mail
daily to and from our armed forces
all over the world.
Indications are that the volume Of
Christmas mail will be the largest
on record. Already in September.
latest month for which figures are
available, retail sales had reached .
level second only to the record month
of December, 194l, according to the
Department Of Commerce. And sales
are rising. Such heavy purchases
always presage heavy mailings.
If thousands Of our soldiers, sail
ors, marines and civilian friends are
not to be disappointed at Christmas
time, the public must cooperate by
mailing earlier than ever before and
by addressing letters and parcels
properly. The best efforts of the
Post Office Department alone can
not be enough, in view of wartime
difficulties faced by the postal sys-
TEN. The public must assist.
About $4,000 experienced postal
workers already have been taken by
the war services. Arrangements are
under way to add thousands of tenn
porary personnel to postal stats, put

is inexperienced. Facilities of rail-
roads and air lines are heavily tax
ed by movements OF huge quantl-
ties OF war materials and personnel.
Extra trucks are almost impossible
to obtain. Winter weather, hamp-
ering transportation, is beginning
The free-maiing privilege grant
ed to members of the armed forces
has raised their mailings some 80
per cent, it is estimated. Expan-
sion of those forces also is adding
rapidly to the postal burden.
The deadline already is past for
mailing gifts to Army and Navy
personnel overseas with assurance
that the parcels will arrive by Christ
mas. The New York post office re-
ports that in late October, 100000
such parcels were handled daily IN
that office alone.
The Post Office Department is
making strenuous efforts to avoid
such terrific jam as it faced in
1918 under similar conditions, dur
ing the First World War. 1t can sue

many heartaches for its patrons-it
the public will cooperate by mailing
early.

After the war, you will need this
money and you can cash your stamps

Mrs. Carson Heads
County TB Drive
Public Asked To
Buy Seals To
Fight Disease

By intensive efforts in Army and
Navy tuberculosis is being kept out
of our armed forces, according to
Mrs. |. w. Carson, president o. che
local tuberculosis association, who
said:
"Of every million men examined
for military service, approximately
10000 have been found to have tu-
berculosis. Knowing that this disease
is even more prevalent among young
women, the estimate of 500, 600
cases existing in the country today
seems conservative. Also, it ex-
plains why public health and military
authorities are urging on all-out
fight against TB in the civilian pop
ulation as a necessary war measure.
with funds provided by the
Christmas Seal Sale which begins
next Monday, your tuberculosis as
sociation will work harder than ever
in programs designed to locate the
the unknown spreaders of disease,
to educate them in preventing infec-
ton of others and for direct aid to
needy sufferers.
Nothing home-folks can do will
help to win the war more than what
they do to protect the health of the
home community, and Christmas
Seals give all of us the opportunity
in a big way to help Army, Navy
and health departments in their eff
forts against preventable causes Of
unfitness to fight"

"BH" Instead of n. B. "
Clements Leaves

Last week We reported that -. B."
Clements left Sunday for Camp
Shelby where he had volunteered for
duty in the army when We should

The only reason We made that
mistake was the fact that ever since

we've received notice that he has
been promoted again and we are so
used to writing about ]. B. that we
did it automatically. He is now a

said last week, is now at Shelby
and will go to officers training
school at the end of his first three
months training.
