TROOPS TFRONG INTO THEATER

I made polite conversation with G1e USO-man who was taking me down to camp, but I privately wished I had just read the USO data that had been placed at my disposal instead of insisting on Seeing the real thing in camp.
 The show, thought, as stared drearily out of the winodw, will be just about what I expect, and the boys will sit through it be- cause it's free and there's nothing better to do, and why did offer b write piece about O-Camp Shows, anyway, and I wish were 8 good solid insurance agent like that man opposite instead of a writer sticking his nose into everything.
 couldn't, as it turned out, have been more wrong.
 The rain, by the time we reached camp, had changed from a fine drizzle to something that Jon Hall battles through at the end of a Sam Goldwyn picture, but the boys were piling into the theater in a way that I could imagine no other audience on earth doing.

The suggestion that farm labor he
subsidized as means of keeping it
on the farm and meeting the compe-
tition of the high wages paid in de-
Tense industries is matter that ap-
pears to have some merit. 1t is OBJ
vious that unless something like this
is done the farms are going to be
stripped of their labor and real
food shortage will result. Food is
going to be every bit as important
in the war during the next year as
planes and guns and ships. An extra
force can be put on in plant and
extra planes and guns be rushed
to completion, but the production OF
food has to deal with the orderly
processes of nature and man must
arrange to work with these processes.

solve the problem of aid to Russia.
Alaska is separated from Russia by
the Boring Straits which are only Sc
miles wide. This means that sup

thousands of miles through sub
marine infested waters of the north
Atlantic to reach Russia, may be
transported to Alaska, from which
point there would be only Sc miles

The ''kraut barrel" once again is
expected to return to favor in the
grocery store. You see, none OF the
1912 production of Sauerkraut can
be canned for civilian consumption,
so the wooden barrels will roll into
the grocer's for bulk sales. At the
same time, the supply of canned
sauerkraut carried over from the
1871 pack has been frozen. So all
signs point to the kraut barrel. In
cidentally, kraut is low priced food
rich in vitamins A, B and G as well
as valuable minerals necessary in
building body structure. And here's
a suggestion to use for menu plan
ming. Pigs knuckles, often COM
bined with sauerkraut, are expected
to be plentiful because of the huge
hog slaughter. i.-.
Put on the skillet and some IL
other items of cast iron Kitchen
ware and that will be all of this type
of household equipment for the
duration. The different sizes and
styles of cast iron kitchenware will
be reduced from some 200 to II, and
also the amount of iron for these
articles has been decreased. But
there will still be dutch ovens, grid
dies, muffin pans and pans for corn
bread or corn sticks. And the CLAM
our product of the pot and pan
corner enameled kitchenware-also
is facing reduction, both as to con-
sumption of iron and steel and as
to the variety of articles which may
be made. But there will be enough
