MOSCOW, July IA - R -
Three powerful German COL
umns, driving into the Don
River bend toward Stalingrad
on the Volga, gained further
ground today south of Goguchar
where the Red Army fell back
fighting to prevent being flank
ed.
Axis reports reaching Lon
don through Stockholm said the
German drive had carri e d
through Kazansk, 30 miles be-
yond Boguchar, and Migulinsk,
10 more miles southeast - to
about 160 miles from Stain
grady
Stalingrad also was menaced
by second trust eastward from
Lisichansk, some 40 m e S
southwest of Boguchar.
Red Star said that along the
whole Don front the Germans
had thrown great superiority
in men and machines" into their
offensive.
The army organ, expressing
the Russian desire for a second
front, said:
HINT SECOND FRONT
"The Germans want to defeat
us before our allies can land
on the continent"
There was no specific infor-
nation as to how far the Rus
slams fell back south of Bogu-
char, but dispatches said several
kilometers.

Timely Hints

During the hot summer days
there is nothing more refreshing
than a tall glass of ice-cold, thirst
quenching lemonade. Now add
ed to that, the food experts say
lemon juice is very rich in Wit
amin c that is so important for
good health.
A recent talk by DR.. D. B. Mil
EN-, of the State Board of Health,
the fact that one of
the greatest food needs of the peo-
pie of North Carolina is Vitamin
c. This vitamin cannot be stor-
ed in the body as some other
foods, but should be supplied in
the diet every day.

Rabbit was one of stark tragedy?
We meant well. We thought
farming was really a cinch and
most of us went about it in very
modest way. Some of us really
did a pretty good job for begin
ners, but in many, many cases the
japanese bellies and their allies
proved more imposing enemy
than the little yellow men who are
infesting the Pacific Islands.
LESSON 1913
Undoubtedly the Victory gar
den program of 1912 has done
some good in supplementing the
worlds food supply. With ap-
proximately 100000 families
having planted gardens, no mat
how poorly some of them turned
out, there must certainly have
been many extra tons Of edible
food added to the dread basket
of the world"
But probably the greatest good
done by the Victory gardens this
year was in teaching millions of
people that they must learn the
facts of farm life before they do
their next spring planting.
Plans are now being made to
give gardening courses this Win
ter in towns and cities all over
the nation. The disappointed
gardeners of 1912, having learned
the need for such education the
hard way, will undoubtedly flock
to such courses and, in 1943,
there is a good chance that the
back-year gardens will furnish
millions of families with good,
healthful food.
Most of us are willing to try
again, but we are through think
ing that the raising of vegetables
is an easy task. Next year We'll
60 into the fields with spades un-
der one arm and textbooks under
the other-and we'll take every
word in the books seriously.
Meanwhile, we take our hats
off to the real farmers of America
who this year have produced rec
ord crops and made it unneces-
sary for us to depend upon our
own feeble efforts to have food
on our tables.

FARMERS
gardens

There is no doubt that a sue
cessful truck farmer is super
man.
Millions of Victory garden anna
teurs are ready to testify to that
fact after spending a summer dig
ging, hoeing, wedding, watering
and weeping over the results.
To city folks the farmer has al
ways been looked upon as a lucky
individual who spent hours out
in the open leaning on a hoe or
sitting behind a pillow lazily drawn
through his fields by well-trained
horses. They have envied him that
easy life in the open as compared
with their own hectic, nine to
five set-to with telephones, type
writer's and rush-hour crowds.
But they envy him no longer.
They have learned a bitter lesson
in their short battle with the soil
and many a city family's desire
to "break away from it all'' and
seek peace and comfort on a little
farm in the country has disap-
peared forever.
PAINS mysteries
It all seemed so easy at first.
Oh, they got a few pains in the
back and a few blisters on their
hands from that first spring dig
ging, but that was more than
compensated for by the feeling
that they were strengthening their
seldom-used muscles and renew
ing their neglected health.

To know the mighty works of
God; to comprehend His wisdom
and majesty and power; to appre-
ciate, in degree, the wonderful
working of His laws, surely all
this must be a pleasing and &C
ceptable mode of worship to the
Most High, to whom ignorance
can not be more grateful than
knowledge.

SPIRIT VI al
DEFE N S E
OUR ATTITUDE

"The Lord will perfect that
which concerneth me: thy mercy,
o Lord, endureth forever: for
sake not the work of thine own
hands," Psa. 1888.
Since God has created the
earth, living creatures therein,
and we, ourselves, in His likeness
and image, we may approach life
with absolute faith and divine
wisdom and justice. Such faith
is humble. What is man, that
thou art mindful of him and the
son of man, that thou visiteth
him?" Psa. ga. After seeing the
mighty power and wisdom OF
God and his own unworthiness, in
remorseful repentance, Job says,
Wherefore I abhor myself, and
repent in dust and ashes" Job
1876. In lowly submission, we
may leave in His hands the per-
plexities arising out of the nature
of human life. 20 the depths OF
the riches both of the wisdom
and knowledge of God! How un-
searchable are His judgments,
and His ways past finding OUT"
Rom. 1888.
Life is a great adventure even
when it goes against us. May we
not look back and grieve for the
good old days. May we jam all
we can into each new one. After
a bit, we shall discover that they
will be the good old days of the
future. Keeping our chins up, we
will overcome the world. Then
we will have the interesting ex-
perience that it isn't life that mat
tiers, but it's the spirit we bring
into it that counts.
Happiness is mental and spirit
ual adjustment to the circumstance
es that surround us. May we
make each day richer and fuller
than the one before. May we
feed the mind and the soul on the
best. Whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, what
soever things are lovely, whatso-
ever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if
there be any praise, think on
these things. Phil. 4:8. MAN
iveth not by bread alone but by
every word that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God"
Let us worship God who Great
ed us and has given His Son out
of His love to redeem us. Love
Him with all the energies of our
being. Israel failed to worship
God, but worshipped idols instead.
Consequently, she weakened her
defense, and met national disaster
through inner decay. Tune the
heart with God. Count your
many blessings, but not with JAZZ
" praise. Then one will learn
with Paul, For I have learned
in whatsoever state I am, there
with to be content"
Our greatest peril is neglect,
the greatest enemy of Christian
ity and security. How shall we
escape, if we neglect so great sal
vation?" Heb. 2:3. If religion

Just digging, hoeing, raking, and
planting-and then waiting cou-
pie of months to pick those deli
aious fresh vegetables pictured
on the seed envelopes, made keep
ing the wolf from the door appear
as simple as could be.
At first everything went ahead
on schedule for most of the vic
tory gardeners. A week or two
after planting, the carrot tops,
the radishes, the corn shoots and
the beans broke into full view.
But after the vegetables got to
the point where picking was in
the offing, mysterious things be-
gan to happen. The bean leaves
began turning yellow or got full
of little holes. The tomato plants
began to wilt, the lima bean
plants looked thin and emaciated
and the peas were blitzkrieged by
rabbits or rain.
Check-ups showed that the
beans needed an emergency spray
ing, the limas probably wouldn't
get anywhere because they hadn't
been fertilized properly before
planting, too much rich fertilizer
had been put in the corn patch
the lettuce should have been
thinned out and a fence needed to
be built Immediately if they hop
ed to save the peas.
DISCOURAGEMENT bugs
Of course the first radish was
a real thrill-very much like that
of becoming a parent for the
first time. And Victory garden
ers boosted among each other a.
bout the string of beans fresh
from their own back yards which
were "the most delicious you ever
tasted"
But to most of us who this year
planted our first garden, the ag-
ricultural life proved full of dis
enlargement. How were we to
know that Mexican beetles must
be dealt. with Immediately or they
will ruin beans? Why didn't
somebody tell us that fertilizer
was really important if we want
ed the pods to have big green
peas in them? And why hadn't

dies, if the virtues of national life
and civilization vanish, it will be

gaps and build a wall of defense
through Divine help around the
soul.

FARMER PATENTS
WAXING MACHINE

Herman Slowing Jr. 3d. Valley
county farmer who has been tinkering
with things mechanical since he was
a youngster, has received a federal
patent on vegetable waxing machine
which is expected to prove a great
timesaver in a section of agriculture
where labor is especially scarce.
The first machine already is in use
on the Herman Slowing Sr. ranch near
Glasgow. At one end of the machine
wire baskets are filled with vegetables.
The baskets. mounted on an endless
motor-driven chain, are pulled
through a wax bath and dumped at
the other end. Waxing preserves vege-
tables and improves their market
ability. The new outfit is especially
valuable in the treatment of ruta-
bagas, carrots and parsnips, which
may be handled by the ton, instead Of
in small lots.
His father recalls that Slowing had
lively interest in mechanics at an
early age. When a grade school boy
he acquired an old motorcycle motor
work" BY in the morning he had 1t
firing perfectly. When he was IL. he
built a washing machine for his
mother that lasted for many years.
The senior Slowing some years ago
bought a planting machine, horse
operated, warranted to plant onion or
cabbage sets. On the strength Of
claims, he bought a whole truckload
of onion sets in Texas. But the planter
didn't work right with horses. Rows
were crooked and the motion was
cratic.
Young Slowing tinkered with it. He
abandoned the idea of horsepower and
attached a motor. He soon had it
working and in 10 hours planted 10000
onion sets.
Another achievement is a home
made combination seeder, cultivator
and onion litter. A motor was bought
for it, but all the other parts were
converted from junk around the farm.
It still is in operation.
Truck farming, especially these days
when labor is scarce, doesn't allow
much time to draw plans or build
machinery. But Slowing is now think
ing seriously about an improved sugar
beet litter and loader. It would be well
coined by many farmers in Montana.

GOVERNOR WANTS
SURPLUS SAVED

Gov. Sam C. Ford said that so far
as he was concerned, Montana,s
100000 to 100000 surplus at the
beginning Of the l943-45 biennium
would be saved to meet postwar ex-
penses.
The governor announced he in
tended to scrutinize closely every ap-
preparation bill passed by the 1913 leg
islature. and would recommend re-
duction Of those he believed were too
large or for purposes not absolutely
essential to maintenance of the state
government.
There may be, at the end of the
war" he said, "a severe depression. 1t
is only common sense to recognize this
and to save money to meet it. II We
foolishly spend the surplus which has
been built up in the state treasury as
a result Of excellent business and en-
ployment conditions now, We shall
have no funds with which to meet
emergencies later.
I'VE must have money to finance our
part OF the huge postwar public works
program which will be initiated, re-
gardless of whether there is depres-
sion We may have to do extensive
repair work on our public buildings be-
cause we now cannot get the materials
or labor to keep them in top condition.
1t may be that there vii be serious
unemployment. At this time we don't
know
'All of these things take money. And
for that reason, 1 am very unwilling
that cent Of the states surplus
should be spent except for the most
necessary purposes. If the state gov
eminent could function at only the
cost of the past two years, that would
be even better, for We could add that
amount to the bankroll we shall need
for after the war;
The estimated 100000 to 5000 900
surplus at the beginning of the fiscal
biennium July l. 1913, is the result of
heavy tax payments, including scores
of thousands Of dollars of delinquent
cies; an unexpected windfall of
81 400 900 in taxes on the estate of the
late Mrs Marcus DAILY of Hamilton, an
unexpected s50l, 900 of Greater Uni
versity mileage funds. and revenues
from the state liquor monopoly, along
with reduced expenses for unemploy-
ment compensation and direct relief.
