The Allied troops are continuing
to advance in North Africa. Lee
by powerful mechanized units an6
thousands of 'ehutists they have
seized several important Tunisian
airports, assuring the troops to
follow. a protecting umbrella OF
bomber and fighter planes to cover
the advance. All of this is causing
Herr Hitler no end of worry. He
has had every general in the Nazi
army on the carpet, hoping to
scare out of one of them a solution
to the new worry that is driving
him to again eat the rugs and
drapes in the chancellory in Ber-
lin. Just how much the campaign
in North Africa has upset Hitler is
disclosed by his actions of the past
two or three days. He has ordered
the Eighth German Air Corps to
Italy to harry the Allied lines of
communication. This crack air feet
regarded as the best in the entire
Nazi army, has been on duty on
the Russian front and its members
who thought they would winter in
southern Rumania, while waiting
for their planes to be repaired, etc.
before resuming the attack in Rus
sia next spring, will instead have to
fight all winter. Hitler has also
commanded Admiral Raeder to
bring the German feet out of the
fjords of Norway to meet the Allied
offensive. Perhaps we should say
what is left of the German fleet.
All of this, however, is not going
to do Hitler any good; the Allies
are going to have a tough fight, but
as the English would say. they all
have their tails up and are ready
to blast the foe on land, on the
sea and in the air. We still admon-
ish our readers to watch Italy; the
r. A. F., using two-ton block
busters" are paying Turin, Milan
and Genoa nightly visits. The
Italians, who have never thought
any too well of Mussolini's tie-up
with the Germans, are getting a
"belly-full" of war; they are ready
to quit-all they need is help to
hurl their Nazi comrades-in-arms
out. We are willing to wager that
when the Allies smash the last bit
of German resistance in North
Africa, and push across to Sicily,
the Italians will greet them with
open arms and will fight to rid the
country of Germans harder than
they ever fought against any other
foe.

The Japs, on their side of the
world. are also having their wor-
ries. and reports are out that they
are running short of hari-kari
knives. since the American South
Pacific fleet, under the command of
admiral Halsey. sent the Nip ar
mazda reeling back to Truk Island
after the great engagement off the
SolomOns. In New Guinea. the
Japs are also getting a pasting and
there is talk that they might evacu-
ate Buna. Another myth has been
exploded. the Japs are not invin-
cible-they are not even clever;
they are just run-of-the-mill fight
ers who when they come up against
forces half as strong as their own.
haven't a chance to do a thing.

An outstanding characteristic of
American industry is efficient Or
ganization. The same characteris-
tic is apparent in our farmer
owned marketing cooperatives.
They are business organizations
created to get job done quickly
and efficiently. In the present ag-
ricultural crisis they are rendering
the fullest possible aid. Through
his marketing coop the farmer can
dispose of his produce at the high
est equitable price. Thus the farm
er is able to concentrate on farm
ing. The coop takes care of his
selling. The value of this service
to millions of farmers and con-
sumeFs in every corner of the land
cannot be measured in dollars and
cents. Anything that contributes
to steady food supply in wartime.
may mean the difference between
victory and defeat.

From the Canadian border,
To Texas vast state.
Miles and miles of endless beauty,

That forever will end future strife,
That we all may continue to live

OF the legacy handed down to us
To keep it sacred. fight we must!
Taking in this vast domain,
You will find it all the same;
