The phrase is dinned into every
Marines ears from the day he gets
his rifle until the day he turns it
in.
1t means, translated, hold your
sights steady and squeeze-don't

The results of such training
shows up in expert qualification on
the rifle range and in deadly ac-
curaey on the battlefield.
Classic example of Marine
craftsmanship was in the battle of
Belleau Wood in World war 1. The
Germans were advancing in waves
through the woods and wheat fields.
Marines of the Second Division
were in position, their rifles loaded
and locked. The Germans drew
closer-rif1e fire had never account
ed for more than one death in a
hundred.
Then the Germans got within
range and the Marines started
changing the percentage of rifle fire
effectiveness. A Marine would fire
and a German would drop. Ma
chine guns and artillery pounded
the Leathernecks. They kept on
calmly adjusting their sights and
squeezing 'em off, and the Ger
mans kept dropping. Finally the
waves of Germans faltered, turned
back-and significant part of the
last big enemy drive was broken.
That's why Marines are never al

ORDER LEGUME,
GRASS SEED NOW
Increased Food Production
Means Use of More Home
Grown Foods
SEEDS TO BE SCARCE

Delaware farmers will use more
homegrown feeds in 1912 as they
increase their production of foods
needed by this country. To be
sure of an abundance of forage
crops, attention should be given
now to procuring legume and grass
seeds which must be planted. Ac-
cording to c. E. Phillips, forage
crop specialist for the University
of Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, everything points to a
ycHscitX, Of seed daring nag the
coming year, especially those of
legumes and grasses. 'The 1941
seed crop of some legumes and
grasses was way under normal"
Phillips adds. ALSO much seed has
been purchased for shipment out of
this country. The full extent to
which war is affecting seed mar
kets is not yet generally under
stood When it is realized, there
may come a rush of orders. Time
will tell, but it seems very likely
that orders placed early for most
any kind of seed may prove to be
wise precautionary measure.
Since the National Government has
asked for an increase in the pro-
duction of milk and eggs, this will
mean more feed will be needed, y
Phillips continues. Additional
feed means that more and better
tseeds will have to be purchased
In some cases, certain of these
seeds are going to be scarce OF
higher in price. Thus there may
be a tendency to buy less seed OF
cheaper seed. Should it become
necessary to make a choice be.
tween these two possibilities, lit.
tie less seed per acre of a well.
adapted, productive strain SHOULD
be used. The best seed of the right
variety is more important than the
price. A slightly lower seeding
rate in many cases may help tt
offset higher prices the farmer ha!
to pay. However, when the seeC
ing rate is reduced, extra car,
should be taken in preparing tht

will be important in overcoming tn,
effects of a reduced seeding rate"

To make it easier for taxpayers
to meet the increased taxes requir-
ed by the National Defense Pro-
gram, the Treasury Department is
offering for sale two series of notes,
both dated August L, 1941, and ma
turing August 1, 1943.
In January of each year tW new
series will be provided so a
taxpayer can always purchase
notes during the entire year in
which he is receiving his income
for use in payment of taxes due the
following year. The reason for the
two-year note is to permit tax
payer, if he so desires, to begin saw
ing in January of one year and con-
tinue through that year to save for
his taxes due the following year.
All notes are sold at par and ac-
crued interest. When presented in
payment of income taxes they will
be received at par and accrued in
terest up to and including the
month in which such taxes are paid

maturity of the notes. If r@f pre-

STATE

Set into motion by an explosively funny opening scene Louisiana Purchase" technicolor film version of the noted Broadway comedy music success, whirled into high gear and stayed there throughout, to the enthusiastic satisfaction of delight ed audiences which witnessed it's arrival yesterday at Warmers State theater.
 Starring Bob Hope, Vera zorina and Victor Moore and featuring Lynda Grey, Waterbury girl, as one of the F Louisiana lovelies, Louis jana Purchase" proved to be joy ful compound of swift gags, the loveliest bevy of girls the screen has yet exhibited, a compendium of Irving Berlin melodies and Zorina $ spectacular dancing all unfolded against a background of eye-pleas- ing color and pageantry.
 Yesterdays audiences obviously liked it so much that there were audible expressions of disappoint- ment when the film came to it's end To these onlookers, let 1t be said that Louisiana Purchase" can be seen a second time, probably with just as much profit as the first. The gags come so fast with the laughter crowding in that it's likely some of it vase lost Leading the lis tof hit Irving Berlin tunes are Tomorrow Is Lovely Day." You're Lonely and I'm Lonely and Louisiana Purchase"
 The female portion of the au- dience yesterday particularly seemed to be thrilled with one scene in the picture which reveals dezens of fashion forecasts. Needless to say, there was some sharp interest dis played by the male contingent in coming bathing suit modes. These modes are shown of by thes 12 much -publicized Louisiana lovelies, who are as dazzling as they're cracked up to be, just to answer a question that must have been on your mind. ;.
 The picture is told against the background of rich, lavish settings, interspersed with such eye-filling spectacles as the New Orleans Mardi Gras and the famed .Beaux Arts ball, which come to life in a swirl of swiftly changing colors.
 Pacific Blackout" with Robert Preston, Martha ODriscoll and Philip Merivale is the second hit of the program and is a treat not to be missed by anyone.
