1941 Traffic Toll
Greatest In History
tcontinuea from First Page,

CONTINUED from First Page
New Hampshire led with a IA per
cent drop. Three of the six states
were in the Mountain region. The
six states were: New Hampshire
14% reduction; Colorado, 1870 re-
duction; Idaho, go reduction; Del
aware, SO reduction; North Dako-
ia, SO reduction, and Wyoming,
40 reduction.
The reductions in traffic fatali-
ties in these states are enViable by
other states, that is true, but the
tremendous increase in fatalities,
injuries, and property damage ac-
cidents is certainly discouraging
when the United States is consid-
cred as a whole.
This is not a war of guns, alone,
ii is a war of every citizen of this
country. We must do our part by
preventing accidents in the home,
in the plant and most of all, you
truck drivers must prevent acci-.
dents on the highway, thereby
whole-heartedly backing-up the
boys on the front lines. Production
must be increased to help win this
war and it cannot be done to its
greatest magnitude if it is to be
hindered by increasing numbers of
accidents.
Truck drivers-let's do our part

"TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI"
AT REESE THEATRE

In the course of five assorted
years as screen star a fellow as
handsome as John Payne kisses a
lot of girls in lot of roles, and the
book of his osculatOry experience
starts and ends thusly:
TITS harder to kiss a nurse and
keep your mind on your business" 3"
No matter how warm the en-
brace you see on the screen, a kiss
to an actor is just another thespian
motion, carefully calculated, timed
and weighed to produce in an audi
ence the desired effect.
lisa kiss and its got grease paint
on, it and it doesn't touch him.
That's the way Payne has it fig
ured and he's an expert. His theory
of actor-kisses never got a jolt
until time came for "bussing" Maui
reen O'Hara in goth Century-Fox's
"To the Shores of Tripoli" which
Daryl F. zanuck produced and is
scheduled to play the Reese Theatre
Harrington on Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, May 81 and June l and 2.
II still can't figure out what hap
pened," he ruminated, but I'm sure
of one thing: the effect of a pretty
girl in a nurses uniform does some
thing to a love scene that is posi-
lively revolutionary
''Kissing a pretty girl is one
thing; kissing a pretty. girl in
nurses uniform is a distinct shock.
You cant keep your mind on your
business"

Farmers Must Prepare
To Store 1912 Wheat
CONTINUED from First Page,


cars to be loaded with wheat unless
these cars can be unloaded imme-
diately at the terminal elevators
and warehouses. Ore boats ON the
Great Lakes which formerly car
ried wheat on the last trip in the
fall and were used for temporary
storage will be transporting ore OH
their last trip this year because of
the war situation.
Not only will wheat stocks and
the new wheat crop be large this
year, but wheat will also have to
compete with large supplies of
corn, rye, barley, oats, fiaxseed,
soybeans, grain sorghums and dry
beans. Another factor which enters
into this grain storage problem is
the shortage of sacks which may
make it necessary to provide bulk
storage for much of the grain that
ordinarily is stored in bags. The
1912 wheat crop is expected to total
790 million bushels, and operators
of warehouses and terminal elevat-
ors reported that on February 16
they had only 41O million bushels
of unOccupied storage space, all of
which makes it very essential that
farmers plan to store their 1912
wheat this year on their
farms on which government loans
may be obtained under approved
storage conditions.

There are not as many varieties Of
