The old proyerb has 1t that, in the
shaving Of a pig, there is little wool
and much squeal. Something of that
sort is becoming daily more evident
in the handling and making of storage
bins for the coming crop. There is
much squeal about getting the bins,
but little wool In actual delivery or
even financing of their purchase. The
bottleneck in this is mainly shortage
of lumber. In spite of that, the CCC
has prescribed drop siding as the re-
quired material for the construction
of acceptable storage bins on the
farm. The joke-if you see any humor
in it's that there practically is no
drop siding. AS fast as it is turned
out In the big mills of the west coast
states, the Army and the Navy and
other government activities drag If
off for their use. Right now there is
about 25 per cent of drop siding on
hand in the lumber yards of the
wheat states, of the 100 per cent de-
mand Every day of delay makes i'm
possible the building of needed bins
and insures the loss of $4,000 bushels
of storage space.
why don't they?" = yeah, that's
what plenty of folk are asking-why
don't they use some other material?
Is drop siding the only stuff that the
CCC knows, in the way of lumber
The point of this query is that, if
the northwest's grain is to be saved
from complete loss or if any large
quantity is to become eligible for
loan, and there is no drop siding, some
substitute will have to be accepted
and used. Every day of delay holds
up the building or manufacture of
these bins, which should be sped up
now, today. Then when it is all but |
too late will come the concession and |
there will be a Wild last minute |
scramble for the bins, which have |
to be built on order of the govern
ment, in large lots and which, in turn,
must be financed by the government |
and sold to the producer on a future
payment basis-from the cents a
pushed storage he gets ON the loan.

Now that the reality exists, and
most Of US are just a little confused
and beWildered, but unafraid, it's diff
ficult to say anything that would be
of interest, since all that would be
apparent to talk about, you already
know. The excitement and confusion
and immediate danger necessitates
staying in and around the War Col
lege at all times. Only on special per-
mission may we leave here and stay
away for any length of time.
Now that we are all in this thing
up to the hilt, we can feel 4 pride in
doing all that we are asked to do.
For the first time in my enlistment,
| feel like a soldier. You and all the
rest OF the American people can feel as
do, if you will conduct yourselves
in an orderly and confident manner,
and do as you are told at all times in
regard to the defense Of your country
and yourselves. There is no doubt
that you will be one of the assets in
any home defenses that you are called
on to do, and you would probably get
a great deal Of satisfaction and pride
in doing something in the way of
helping us win this war with the
least bit of confusion among our
families at home, which is so i'm
portant when we are absent and can't
help them ourselves. The air raid
warnings and the sighting of planes
off the Atlantic Coast, certainly
leaves no doubt in our minds that we
are in great danger of attack, and
must be prepared fully at all times.
You need feel no longer that your
job isn't an important one. You are
doing a job to help speed up, in what
ever small way it may be, the
modifying of troops and supplies to
enable us to win with the least delay
and the smallest number of lives lost.
You are in the Army in another
capacity, and can hold your head high
with the thought that YOU too are a
part of the defense of our Nation.

makes me want to leave Immediately

Importance of Good
Posture Is Stressed
Heads Up and Deep Breathing
Are a Help in Resisting Disease

Stressing the Importance Of good
posture as an aid in keeping fit, Dr.
R. H. Riley, Director Of the State De
partment of Health, said that though
the advice often given by President
Roosevelt to keep your chin up is
usually intended to strengthen indi-
vidual morale, it is equally applicable
to physical well-being.
"Heads up and deep breathing" could
very appropriately lead the list, DR..
Riley said, of personal habits that are
a special help in strengthening ones
resistance to disease.
"The human mechanism requires a
constant supply Of clean, fresh air"
he continued, "to keep functioning
properly. We all know when we are
food hungry, but we don't realize
what is the matter with US when we
are droopy or drowsy OF below par
physically, because we are air hun

"To take the necessary supply Of
air into the lungs you have to learn
to breathe deeply. You can't breathe
deeply when you slump and SLOUGH.
To get deep, satisfying breath Of
fresh air-whether indoors or out-of-
doors-you have to hold your head up.
psychologists explain that good
posture and good breathing habits
bring the whole framework Of the
body into better alignment and help
to tone-up the entire system and
make it more resistant to disease.
with heads up, chest out-not mar
rowed and contracted-a abdomen
fiat, there is greater room for eX-
pansion of the lungs, free action Of
the heart, and better circulation Of tie
blood. The digestion is benefited, in
turn, through the tonihg-up of the
muscles supporting the whole diges-
tive apparatus.
"But the toning-up does not end with
physical fitness. Heads up, shoulders
squared and good breathing habits,
help to strengthen the moral muscles
also. There is certain self-respect
that comes with heads up; and cour-
age, too, to face whatever comes. Try
it, and see for yourself"

To The Editor Of The Republican:

To The Editor Of The Republican:
Basing our Judgment on the Jap
attempt to effect subjugation in
China, we Americans have usually re-
garded the collective status of Jap
anese intelligence as something far
below world standards, an aggrega-
ton of brain-pOwer unable to direct
successful aggression. But this Is a
dangerous mistake.
The |. G. of the average Jap
citizen perhaps isn't enjoying uncom-
Portable elevation, but these yellow
race members are cunning, daring
rapid thinkers-as well as PREACHER
Gus.
High officials at the German en-
bassy in Tokyo fear the Japs' crafti-
ness, but they refuse to recognize or
respect them as superiors. Many a
Jap lower-rung official has vehement
ly complained Of German arrogance.
But, naughty as the Aryan "blue-
blood" may be, he, if pressed, readily
admits that the shrewdness of the
Japanese is uncanny. This is not con-
sistent with Teutonic policy to fear
anyOne-eXcept of course, a Russian
for fear and the NaZi regime has
never blended well.
The Japanese people are incapable,
to a great extent, of creating any
thing original. They copy from other
countries everything from designs on
dishes to the construction of bombers
and tanks. Right now very large
portion Of their war equipment is to

COMMON SENSE FOR
VICTORY

Today the United States is at war,
We are saving rags, paper, rubber,
aluminium, tin and everything that
goes into equipping a modern army
Every family head knows the i'm
portance of prudent spending. This
care is doubly important in times of
emergency. If a member of the family
is taken sick, stinting on medical care
is out of the question. But to meet
the doctors bill we watch other eX-
penses and cut corners wherever pos
sible.
This is just as important in gov
eminent spending as it is for the
family. And in an all out war it is
vital to victory
The cost of war is tremendous, and
we all agree that Victory must be at
tanned no matter what the price.
However, this does not mean that
we can with safety continue tc
squander billions for what during the
war are non essentials.
The Byrd Joint Congressional Com
mittee has submitted a report tc
Congress which clearly shows how
over $1,300,0OO,OO0 can be diverted
from unnecessary governmental serv-
ices and turned over to the war effort
This would be no small contribution
to victory. 1t is more than enough tc
pay for 165 destroyers or buy equip
ment for over 100000 soldiers.
This war is to preserve Democracy
The soul of Democracy is the right
Of citizen to govern himself through
his elected representatives In these
times citizens should be worthy OF
that right, and should exercise it-ir
this instance by instructing THEN
representatives at Washington to sup
port the recommendations Of the Byrt
Committee and see to it that nor
essentials do not divert one dollar
away from the war effort.

More and Better
Gardens Campaign
Planned in State

4 statewide campaign to encour-
age home production Of vegetables
and fruits is being planned by the
University Of Maryland extension
service, in cooperation with special
lists in other departments Of the in
stituton.
In line with a national garden cor-
ference held in Washington recently,
it will be the aim to reinforce the eff
fort to greatly increase production Of
food products and to improve health
through encouraging better food
habits and the use Of high-vitamin
and mineral foods.
The campaign is being organized
under the direction of Miss Venia NJ.
Keilar, assistant director of the eX-
of home demonstration work. Work
inc with her are specialists in vege-
tables and fruits and in nutrition.
The home demonstration and agricul-
tural AGENTS in the respective coun-
ties will arrange for meetings and
take the leadership in the campaign
directly with the people. They Will
have the assistance and advice OF
SPECIALISTS and will be furnished ma
terial of various kinds which will aid
in securing satisfactory production of
garden products.
1t is not considered necessary to
utilize lawns, parks, or other orna-
mental and recreational areas, Miss
Kellar emphasizes, but it is hoped
that every farm will have a family
garden and that a large percentage
Of the families living in towns can
/ also arrange to produce at least con-
4 siderable portion Of their needs in the
way of vegetables.
Two main detectives in the cam
paign will be the widest possible dis
semination of clear understanding
of what the program is and OF ways
and means for its accomplishment.
/ The support and assistance will be
4 enlisted Of all who are in any way
interested, including members of the
seed and nursery industry, teachers,
boys and girls, and others. In line with
the national designation, the program
in this State will be known as the
"Maryland Victory Garden Program"

the current rate of production. OPM
experts are hopeful that, with the
aviation and automobile industries
cooperating, the desired rate can be
reached.
Another illustration is the alumni
mum industry In 1897, this industry
was concentrating on needs for pots
and pans, railroad trains and auto
mobiles. From q production of less
than 900 million pounds that year, its
output jumped to 600 million pounds
in 1911, with airplane producers the
bis customer. This year, it is expected
that production will top 800 million
pounds.

It makes us feel not so bad that:
The Library Of Congress has already
removed to a place Of greater secar-

mente: The Magma Carta, the Guten-

pendence and the Constitution Of the
United States.
Plans are afoot to triple Americas

This will be undertaken if enough
materials can be provided for the
construction and operation Of the new
plants
More than $500 million worth of
strategic war materials owned by
foreigners was uncovered by the
. Treasury's census Of alien-owned
property. This property has been
turned over to the SPAB, which plans
to use it in the Allied war effort
Some OF the property had been hid
den in warehouses and factories by
AXIS agents, and consisted of alumni
mum, brass, automobile parts, tools
and machinery .. all of which
Treasury officials point out, can be
used by the United States to good
advantage.
