just grinned at the thermometer
today when he suggested that pa
triotic citizens might be doing some
thing right now about their home
victory gardens.
Now is the time, Beyschlag says,
to apply barnyard manure so that
it will have time to decay before
the crop is planted. The garden plot
should be thoroughly irrigated ir
order to hasten this process and to
redistribute any salts that may have
accumulated.
For the really ambitious, now is
the time to plant corn for fall roast
ing ears. Several types of beans
should go in now, Stringless green
pods, Hopi Sc limas, and black eyed
beans.

 From the results of contests held with widely diff ferng weapons it is clear that the traditional keen ness of eye and steadiness of hand that have made good shots of Americans since the days of Daniel Boone are still with These qualities coupled with exceptional coordination and stability of nerves are necessary to bring about such scoes marked the recent national skeet tournament, in which Dr. Le- roy W. Childs broke 250 straight targets with a twelve-gauge shotgun and young private now in Air Force training in Texas made overall score of 543 out of possible $50 Although the weapon shown at the international police pistol tournament at Teaneck. There Patroman Arthur Pagan of the New York City Police Department shot perfect 3OO while he and his teammates made winning score of 1196 out of possible 12OO to equal the worlds record. In both events women also made notably high scores, as they doing with rifles as well as handguns in various groups of the American Wo- mems Voluntary Services from Port Washington to Arizona.
 There is something very comforting during state of total war about the evidence that piles up in shooting matches of all sorts not merely of high in- dividua skils but of remarkably fine averages by amateurs and civilians training for defense as well as by police officers and others whose duties nor mally include the ability to shoot straight Reports available from the military services in training also indicate gratifying skill with firearms.

MANPOWER RESERVOIR

It is bad that the nation already is so pnched for fighting manpower that it will have to call up men with dependents by Christmas-a policy definitely forecast by Major General Lewis B. Her shey National Selective Service Director But in a roundabout way. it is good news it indicates the tremendous pace at which this country is building an army for victory.
 There have been all too many false alarms and con- fusing statements from seectve service headquarters in the course of two years But for several months now the policy has been more coherent. And all draft boards have for their guidance today clear cut definition of dependency This gives the typical young man at least an approximate idea of when his turn will come
 It is impossible of course to determine with com plete logic how far to go into the reservoir of men with dependents before calling up with skills useful in wartime It is likewise impossible to make entirely logical choice between married men 20 and single men now under the age of mili- tary service
 Public opinion generally appears to favor taking single men from industries before taking men with wives and children Public opinion also seems to oppose taking men any younger than now conscrpted But public opinion cannot be the final determining factor. Public opinion, as a matter of fact did not favor the conscription law in the first place But it was necessary, events confirmed
 The government no longer issues any figures to reveal the size of army This is wise. But the chances that if the average citizen knew the dimensions of the flow of fighting men from civilian life to camps and then overseas, he would be pro- foundly impressed with the job the army is doing The drain manpower indicated by the warn- ing to men with dependents is clear proof of the stupendous force being amassed in the army of the United States

Civilian Supply
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

Far-reaching changes in the lives and habits of every citizen during the next few months were fore cast recently by Joseph L.. Wener, deputy director of the Division of Civilian Supply
 Food clothing, transportation and housing he pointed out, the four principal fields in which changes have developed and in which even greater changes may be expected.
 America should be proud to find that although we are converting a huge amount of our resources and industry to war, the American people still have not had to suffer to any great extent, make any great sacrifices
 Americans still have plenty to eat with much variety Weiner says that there is no danger that this country will lack sufficient supply of staples, that the American diet will lack any of its vital elements. We may have to cut down little on sugar, tea, coffee bananas. But these commodities have yet reached no serious state of scarcity.
 As far as clothes go, Weiner states that it now appears that ratoning of clothing will not be essary this year We may have to more cot ton account of the military demand for wool.
 We feeling the gasoline and rubber shortage to extent, but not as severely as shortages of these vital materials are felt in other coun- tries Rubber is the most serious and it may be necessary to make gasoline ratoning strict in order to conserve rubber. If the American people turn in sufficient amount of scrap rubber in the current campaign, may still be able to get enable amount of this fuel for civilian use
 Housing restrictions have become necessary due to the demand for lumber by the military and industry. The building of non-essential homes is curtaed
 This, according to Weiner. represents general picture of what the future holds for us. And it's rosy compared to the future other nations face We haven't begun to feel the pinch yet.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not c0mpe"
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day. The stars smile upon persons in authority. The President of the United States comes under favor able planetary influences.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration the young will be inclined to listen to the advice of parents and instructor The stars stimulate unity of feeling in the family circle where blood ties will be especially strong. Among wage earners prosperity will be enjoyed through the combined earnings of young and old. Despite warnings, generous spending will be wide spread and imitation may be un- avoidable. Definite increase in the cost of living will be evident.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Labor to- day is under, good planetary direc- ton. Few disputes or difficulties are forecast as Americans break 
 all records in quantity production of war materials. Since 1922 is dominated by the cycle caused by the spring conjunction of Saturn and Uranus, there is little danger in our banking system. Buying power will be slightly reduced at this time as prices rise.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Use of automobiles, restricted only to a limited extent, will become a sub ject of intense concern this Aut- umn when the need of transporta- tion extends under war -emergen- cies. Those who read the stars predict that substitutes for rubber will relieve the situation which each week becomes more alarming. In the West, where long distances must be traversed, it will be dem onstrated that it is impossible to do without timesaving methods of | travel.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: In subjugated countries revolts against authority will smolder as rebellion spreads secretly, despite brutal methods of enforcing power. gained through aggression. The seers counsel patience among the vic- tins of Nazis and Japanese, since it is prophesied that deliverance will not be delayed beyond 1943 or 1914 While world peace may not be attained until 1947, certain nations will be freed by early vic- tories of the United Nations. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fin ancial gain. Deals with the Army, real estate interests and engineer ing enterprises should be success 1 full.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be successful all through their careers. Keen minds and strong characters will assure rapid progress for girls and boys. Copyright, 1942)

SUBMARINE END FRONT

How badly we need Kaiser's car- go planes and how successful Hit Ter has been in establishing a sec- ond front at our front door is attested by 20 Latin-Amercan dip lcmats who every day beat a well- worn path to the doors of the State Department asking for more war cooperation.
 Most of these countries have broken relations or even declared war on the Axis, but as a result of war and the submarine they too find the second front now at their front door.
 Here are some of the effects which the submarine campaign and lack of shipping and/or cargo planes have had on American war prosecution:

Cunning for Daniels is Frances Knight, one of the lovely IT-girls of the OCD, who has influence with OCDadministrator Jim Landis Chief point of contention has been whether minority groups should be
 represented on civilian defense councils in various localities. Dan- iels has contended that minority
 groups should be represented, but so far Landis has opposed.
