the Industrial and military fronts,
and farmers need the implements
of agriculture. Along with other
similar plants, it is the business OF
this company to give them these
implements.
Officials Of the company are
frankly worried about their ma
terials for production-so much
steel is needed for armaments-but
OPM has granted the firm a priority
rating which Rufus Brown, treasur-
er and general manager, describes
as pretty good"
Most of the company's produc-
tion consists of repair parts. OPM
recognizes the vital role of repair
parts in farming and allows the
company a generous quota in this
classification. But production of
new implements has been ordered
slashed.

workers in the last year-are

anti-aircraft parts.
Since use of it's agricultural
products is seasonal, the plant does

Seventy-six years of experience In

M. & M. BIG REDS WALLOP
CROOKSVILLE 1920

The M. & NJ Big Reds remained
on the heels of New Concord in the
chase for the championship bunting
in the MVL when they defeated the
Ceramics of Crooksville by point
score of SO to 20, Friday night at
the local hardwood.
Paul Price spanked the Big Reds
scoring as he rang up six field goals
and five free throws for total OF
II points. The Fighting Five from
M. & M. played fine brand of bas-
ketball as they scored their fifth
victory against one defeat.

BIG REDS TROUNCE ST.
THOMAS SO TO 20

Tuesday night the Big Reds of NJ.
& M. met the Fighting Irish of st.
Thomas, GAINESVILLE, 9 on the local
court and handed them a Sc to %
setback as Jerry Rudolph paced the
attack with "a markers. This was
the 28th consecutive victories on
the home floor without defeat. The
Big Reds have not been defeated on
their home floor sincer Coach Rich
came here. The Big Reds have lost
only six games in regular season
play in that time.
The Big Reds drew first blood
when Francis Bingham sank re-
bound from under the basket. The
Big Reds continued to score con-
sistently throughout the first pc
riod and amassed II points in the
first canto. In the second quarter
the Big Reds added nine points to
their total. The first half saw the
Fighting Irish resorting to long
range bombardment which was far
more picturesque than effective.
The St. Thomas lads tailed only one
field goal in the first half, as they
were trailing 20 to 7 at half time.
In the third period the Big Reds
started their scoring machine to
rolling with Jerry Rudolph leading
the attack. Even though the Big
Reds tailed 10 points they allowed
the Fighting Irish to score IA so
they did not increase their lead to
any great extent. The M. & Nj.
hoopsters continued to pour them
in from all angles in the final quar-
ter while they tightened their de-
fense against the Irish. The score
board showed that the Big Reds
had garnered II markers in the
last canto with the Irish getting
eight points.
The Big Reds continue to i'm
prove as the season goes along.
Jerry Rudolph hit the hoop with
such consistency that whenever he
took shot the scorekeeper would
automatically mark down two
points. 1t seemed that every time
someone secured a rebound that
someone" would be Francis Bing-
man. Don Smith proved that he
was a very capable running mate
| for Bingham as he was all over the
court, racking up eight points. Paul
Price and Junior Wilson at for
| wards were guarding the Irish SO
| close that sometimes it seemed as
| though they were part of them.
! 1t was perhaps the best game the
Big Reds have played this year.

Hedin twice braved the choppy wat

a cracked oar, to pick up the five
soldiers.
He saw two others sink as he
tried to reach them and one died
when he lost his grip on the rope
tossed him by the trapper.
Hedin said he observed the scow-

he was making breakfast and when
he looked again few minutes later
he could see nothing at first, then
made out the heads bobbing among

MEXICO IS
T0DE(LARE
WAR, AXIS
Declaration 10 Fight Will
Come al Special Ses-
sion of Congress

MEXICO CITY, May % - The
Mexican Cabinet decided late last
night to call a special session of
Congress to declare war on the
Axis as a reprisal measure for the
sinking of two Mexican ships.
The announcement yesterday that
a second Mexican tanker had been
sent down by an Axis sub off Cuba
with the loss of 10 lives served TO
heighten the indignation that was
aroused throughout Mexico at the
sinking of the first ship earlier in
the week.
Yesterday, the Mexican govern
ment was undecided as to whether
to declare war outright or state
that a national emergency existed.
Either course spoke i'll for the Axis
since the latter would have meant
drastic measures of government
control over all Axis properties.
Commanders of military zones and
state governors came to the Mexi-
can capital yesterday for confer
ences and received word from
Mexican Consul Salvador Aguayo
at Miami. Florida, that the Mexican
tanker Fajadeoro had been fired on
by a U-boat off the coast of Cuba
and sent to the bottom.
After celebrating this latest blow,
the Mexican Cabinet decided that
it could take no other course but
to call a special session to declare
war ON the Axis powers.

Weekends Are Funny in

WASHINGTON, May 23-Week-
ends are funny in Washington. For
the thousands of civilian govern

urday is the signal to get out OF
town. Trains and busses for Balti-
more. Philadelphia and New York
are jammed.
But for the soldiers at Fl. Bel

Fl Meade in Maryland, and for
the sailors at Norfolk, Va, and
the marines at Quantico, the week
end is the time to come to Wash
ington. They pour out of the buses
like peas out of pod.
The sad part of the story is
that Washington, the nations cap
ital, doesn't have room for them
to sleep. The lucky ones get in AT
the Y.MCA. or one of the service
mems clubs But Saturday night
always finds the uncomfortable
benches of Union Station lined with
woe-begone young men in khaki,
