There are Ill defense factories

AS soon as tree was down he
would cut it into short lengths.
and if he should just eat the bark
that he can reach from the ground
it would take such a lot of trees to
keep him filed up that he would
soon spoil the Green Forest. You
know when the bark is taken off a
I tree all the way around the tree
dies. That is because all the things
that a tree draws out of the ground
to make it grow and keep it alive
are carried up from the roots in the
sap, and the sap cannot 60 up the
tree trunks and into the branches
when the bark is taken off because
it is up the inside of the bark that
it travels.
Now, Paddy the Beaver loves the
Green Forest as dearly as you and
! do, and perhaps ever little more
dearly. You see it is his home. Be-
sides, Paddy is never wasteful. So
he cuts down a tree so that he can
get all the bark instead of killing
whole lot Of trees for very little
bark, as he might do if he were
lazy. There isn't a lazy bone in
him-not one. The bark he likes
best is from the aspen. When he
cannot get that he will eat the bark
from the poplar, the alder, the will
low, and even the birch. But he
likes the aspen so much better that
he will work very hard to get it.
Perhaps it tastes better because he
does have to work so hard for it.
There were some aspen trees
growing right on the edge of the
pond Paddy had made in the Green
Forest. These he cut just as he
had cut the trees for his dam. AS
soon as tree was down he would
cut it into short lengths and with
these swim out to where the water
was deep, close to his new house.
He took them one by one and car
ried the first ones to the bottom,

fast as he brought more he piled
them on the first ones. And so the
pile grew and grew.
Jerry Muskrat, Peter Rabbit,
Bobby Coon, and other little people
of the Green Forest watched him
with the greatest interest and Curl
osity. They couldn't quite make out
what he was doing. It was almost
as if he was building the foundation
for another house.

manded Peter when he could keep
still no longer.

Jerry. HE said that he was going
to lay in supply of food for the
winter, just as told you. and

lSalinas California;

lSalinas California;
We're sorry, and no doubt most of the
American people are sorry, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt didn't come out point
blank with his anti-inflation program
and get it done now instead of awaiting
congressional action by October l. AS
usual, in this war there's too much pussy
footing around.
Initiation already is here. Each month
makes it worse Price ceilings will pro-
tect us for time, but we notice our
money is losing its power to buy goods.
Short-sighted are those who think price
ceilings are more than hypodermic seda-
tives It's like sitting on a powder keg
and saying there's no danger because the
fuse hasn't reached the powder
Initiation itself is very simple. Its eff
fects, once felt, can not be misunderstood.
But the masks which initiation wears, as
it creeps up on us, are so various as to
confuse the layman.
Initiation can come from the existence
of too much actual money, in the form
of coin and paper. 1t can come from too
much credit. which for buying purposes
is Just as effective as actual money 1t
can come from too few commodities avail
able for purchase.
Usually several of these factors enter
into the making of initiation, none SEEM
ing important enough to worry US, but
all together proving too much for us to
withstand.
Today we have at work all of the
principal factors which can contribute to
initiation.
More men and women are employed
than ever in our history, and their wages
are at an all-time high, so there is more
money circulating.
The government is having to borrow
more than any government before ever
borrowed, so credit is at an all-time peak.
Virtually all of the factories which
used to make heavy consumer goods, and
many which used to make expendable
commodities have turned to armament
and munitions. SO the supply of goods
is approaching an all-time low for the
modern era.
More money more credit. less purchas

behind? The creaKing Of the price control

Nevada State JournaD


There is a certain harangue of Hitler S
that has become an annual feature. For
the fourth successive time he has told the
German people that they have one more
winter of war ahead of them and that
they had better make sacrifices for the
sake of their boys at the front.
Each year he makes this plea in be-
half of winter relief Each year he prom
ises his subjects an Axis victory. The
regimented and rationed populace of Ber-
lin should know it oy neart by now. Sure
ly it must be dawning on some of them
that Hitler will never win the war.
In one respect, Hitler has changed his
text. He no longer tries to lure his people
by promises of great territorial gains for
the Reich. He tries to scare them into
still more sacrifice by visions of slavery
in the event of a victory by the United
Nations The sorry part is that he seems
to be as successful as a scarer as he was
as a promiser.
The only way to defeat Hitler will be
to smash him at home and on every front.
If it requires a hundred million bombs
dropped from the air to convince him
that his number is up, a method will be
found to provide them.

BURNED BRIDGES

The remark we so often repeat so
lightly-about burning our bridges behind
us-has a terrible significance today to
the defenders of Stalingrad, because the
bridges were burned before they were
crossed
Burning their own bridges, cutting off
their own exits, the defenders of Stalin-
grad wrote new passage into the history
of gallantry when they chose to face only
two lternatives-victory or death. For
them, there is no escape noW-and the
choice is their own. If they do not defend
their city, they will die. Perhaps they
will die in the defense of it, but to their
mind that death will be better than re-
treat
The heroic story of Stalingrad does not
stand alone in this war, however. 1t is
somewhat in the nature of another in
cident in chain which began with War
saw and ran down a tragic but honor
able list Heroism has been plentiful in
this war-not merely heroism of individ-
uals, which is to be expected, but herolsm
of whole villages, cities and peoples.
Against such strength and devotion, the
Axis cannot win. If it were not strongly
opposed, it might annihilate the rest of
the world, but that in itself would be de-
feat. The strength of its opposition is
growing, however, and that strength,
coupled with such mass heroism as that
of the defenders of Stalingrad, cannot
help but bring complete victory in the
end.

There may be heatless days this
winter householders are warned.
Presumably that applies mostly to
the eastern seaboard, where an
extended oil shortage is threatened
because of transportation difficult
ties. But, conceivably, it could at
feet all sections which do not have
fuel supplies in their own back
yards.
If fasteners are slow about con-
verting from oil to coal, where they
can do SO, then there will be a
railroad and barge bottleneck when
an effort is made to rush coal to
them next winter.
To relieve that bottleneck and
prevent dangerous exposure, coal
cars will be diverted from their
runs elsewhere, and the normal
flow of fuel in more westerly areas
may be disrupted.
So the entire country has a per-
sonal stake in insisting that all
fasteners, who can, shall convert
from oil to coal at once and shall
order their new fuel in advance, so
as to utilize available transporta-
ton facilities most efficiently.
Heating experts suggest other eX-
pedients to keep houses warmer
with less fuel. An added advantage
of these is that they will help to
save money after the emergency
situation has passed.
Here are few ideas worth act
ing upon at once. For them the
Federal Reserve System will be
extra lenient about necessary credit.
Install storm doors and win
dows, if you do not have them yet.
Insulate ceilings and walls. This
helps to keep the house cool in
summer, SO it is appropriate to dog
days.
Install weather stripping around
doors and windows if they are not
thoroughly tight.
Put a coat of ordinary oil paint
en- your radiators. 1t will improve
