PERSISTENT LEON

The Army doesn't seem to think that hitting Leon Henderson, price-fixing boss of the OPA, is |aethargic about wanting to put price ceilings on tanks, guns, trucks and other Army material for which it is now paying top prices.
 In a knock-down, drag-out ses- sion in the office of mild hammered Under Secretary of War Patterson, Henderson banged on the table, told Patterson the Army was pay ing too much, that he demanded the power to put price ceilings on Army supplies.
 I'm going to keep after you on this till I get it." Henderson stoned. When I was younger and I was courting a girl, I kept after her until l got her. And that's whats going to happen now"

If somebody in the WIPE doesn't make up its mind pretty quick, the nation may find itself in the same beat on hemp rope as it is now on rubber.
 With Manila hemp cut off from the Philippines and the Dutch Eas! Indies, the hemp situation will be- come desperate after 1943 = unless planting begins almost immediately.
 Some sisal already is being grown in Central America, thanks to the foresight of Karl Bickel, Tommy Corcoran and the United Fruit Company, and this, with present stores on hand, will last the Navy for more than another year. How ever in wartime an unusually large amount of hemp rope is needed,

 When senators asked Vice Ad- miral Frederick J. Horne why, he replied:
 The Navy can protect Dutch Harbor"
 This was in late September Two months later, after Pearl Harbor, the Navy frantically demanded an air base to protect Dutch Habor, but it had to be started during the snow and ice of an Alaskan winter Therefore the date of con- pletion was July, l942.
 Probably the Japs knew this date. They have had fishing ves- sels cruising through the Aleutians off and on for some time. At any rate it was the first week in June, one month before the Umnak air base was finished, that the Jao struck.
 And when they bombed Dutch Harbor, the Navy's flying patrol boats there were helpless. Heavy aud slow, they lacked protection from the Army's fast pursuit planes, so speedy Jap Zero fighters made mince- meat of them.
 Lack Of a nearby army base from which fighters and bomberS could protect the rest of the Aleutians undoubtedly contributed also to

NOTICE TO OUTSIDE
SUBSCRIBERS

On February 1, 1912, the sub.
scrlption price Of the Morgan Coun-
ty Democrat, outside of Morgan.
and adjoining counties, will be 50
per year. Subscriptions will be ac-
cepted up to that time at the pres
ent yearly rate of $3.50. Most pa
pers have been charging for a long
time, more for subscriptions outside
or the county, than locally. With
many papers, the subscription rate
outside of the state is double. We
send papers to practically every
state in the union, and in distant
states, the price we have been get
ting does not pay postage charges.
Already news print, and in fact ev-
erything that goes into the publish
ing of paper, has increased sharp
ly, and certain to go much higher.
Remember the new price does
not apply to subscriptions in this or
adjoining counties where the rate
VIII remain as at present, $3.50 per
year.

HISTORIC RESIDENCE OF MRS.
WOOLEY DESTROYED
BY FIRE

Early Sunday morning, Jan. 3,
the nine room residence belonging
TO Mrs. Ida Wooley, on route IS,
three and half miles south of
R1nggold, was destroyed by fire;
origin of the fire was thought to
have been from an over-heated
stove pipe on the heater in the liv-
ing room.
Mrs. Wooley and son, Archie, had
arisen early as was their custom,
and the son had gone to the barn
to do chores and Mrs. Wooley had
gone to the basement kitchen to
prepare breakfast, having first re-
plenished fuel in the living room
stove, before going down stairs.
Perhaps half hours time had
elapsed when Mrs. Wooleys atten-
tion was attracted by a sound of
undetermined origin but thinking
1T was something on the outside of
the house, gave it no heed; then
again in a few minutes, her atten-
tion was attracted, and this time
the sound apparently came from up
stairs. She Immediately fastened
to the living room and found the
CdtiIc q Walls d mass Oh UdIHoS, ana
her access to the telephone COM
pletly shut off. She hastened to
the yard and her frantic cry for
help awakened a nearby neighbor
and he in turn notified others but
due to the early hour, and men were
not out doing chores and no travel
on the highway, the fire had gain
ed such headway before help arriv-
ed that but few of the contents
were saved
The residence of Mrs. Wooley's
was an old landmark of Morgan
county and perhaps one of the old
est houses in Union township, hav-
ing been constructed in 1887 by
Isaac Murphey, grandfather of Mrs
Wooley, and the title for the farm
was issued by President Martin Van
Buren and recorded in GAINESVILLE,
August 3, 1897.
The writer has been told that at
the time Mr.. Murphey and his help
ers met to clear spot upon which
to build this home they encounter
ed much difficulty in falling the

sus. Luke 2:25-40; 2:39-4O, for
Sunday, January IL:
Little is recorded of the baby
hood of Jesus; this may be so that
the more significant facts of his life
might gain prominence in our
thinking. We must remember that
some of these significant facts are
his divinity, his mission, his love
for all, his living an ideal life, his
resurrection, the right way of liv-
ing demonstrated.
v. 25. "And, behold, there was
a man in Jerusalem, whose name
was Simeon; and the same man
was just and devout, waiting for
the consolation Of Israel; and the
Holy Ghost was upon him." Be-
cause Simeon was just and devout,
he could interpret the sacrificial
system of the old covenant and the
spiritual teaching of the prophets
as true preparation for Christ.
Simeon's eyes had been turned to-
ward the Messianic dawn. After
conservation comes the work of the
Holy Ghost.
V. 26. And it was revealed un-
to him by the Holy Ghost, that he
should not see death, before he had
seen the Lords Christ" Such rev.
elations were made by a dream, or
by voice or by a silent suggestion
however, the "how" is not so i'm
portant as the fact that God spoke
to man. Christ will always be
found by those who truly seek him.

stone in the onward spiritual prog
ress.
v. 27. "And he came by the
Spirit into the temple; and when
the parents brought in the child Je-
sus, to do for him after the GUS
tom of the law" Ceremonies, rit-
uals and sacraments have an i'm
portant place in the life of the
church and it's members; they are
means Of grace and not ends in
themselves.
VS.. %, 29. 'Then took he him
up in his arms, and blessed God and
said Lord, now, lettest thou thy
servant depart in peace, according
to thy word" Since Simeon's one
desire had been satisfied, he was
willing to close his days on earth.
When all is we'll with the soul, one
can face death in peace.
v. 80, 81. "For mine eyes have
seen thy invitation which thou hast
prepared before the face Of all peo-
ple." To see Jesus truly is to see
salvation for he works out the pro-
eyro m for oil who will Sarvo him
To accept Jesus is to accept the pro-
gram. Today we are seeing de-
struction of man because that is
the program of the evil one.

V. 33. ''And Joseph and his
mother marvelled at those things
which were spoken of him." Not
even Joseph and Mary really under
stood Jesus fully. To be his dis
ciple is to learn about him daily;
every one ought to enroll in the
church school to learn more of the
Way of Life and to grow spiritually
in faithful attendance in the SER
vices of public worship.
V. 34 "And Simeon blessed
them, and said unto Mary his moth
er, Behold this child is set for the
fall and rising again of many in
Israel; and for a sign that shall be
spoken against" Simeon like all
Gods children was filled with
praise. Christ is the testify faith
in Him men shall rise or fall by
unbelief.
V. 35. "Yea, a sword shall pierce
through thy own soul also that the
thoughts of many hearts may be re-
vealed." Mary's soul was pierced
when Christ died on the cross
When Christ is presented today
the thoughts of men are seen in ac-
cepting or rejecting him.
V. 80. And when they had per-
formed all things according to the
law of the Lord, they returned into
Galilee, to their own city Nazar-
eth" After attending the services
of worship each one needs to return
to his home to express himself in
Christian service.
V. 40. "And the child grew, and
waxed strong in spirit, filled with
wisdom; and the grace of God was
upon him." Although Christ was
divine he developed physically, men
tally and spiritually as did other
children.
