Don't Use ShOebOx
For Christmas Gifts

Don't mail your Christmas pack
ages to your boys overseas in shoe
box is the advice given by the post
office department. Some publicity
has been given the shoe-boX idea
but it was only to indicate the size
Of the package. And if you expect
your boys overseas to get your gifts
by Christmas, the package must be
mailed not later than the first of
November, the department urges.
Food and liquids or inflaanmabIe
stuff cannot be mailed.
In connection with air mail let
tiers for points outside continental
United States, government reports
show that the volume received great
ly exceeds the available space for
that purpose and that possibly the
military necessity may require that
only official air mail and V-Mail
may be transported by air to these
areas.
At present no letter weighing more
than two ounces may be sent via
V-Mail envelopes may be obtained
air mail to foreign countries and as
at the postoffice without charge, it
is suggested that patrons use these
to be sure of getting the quickest
service.

Urge Farmers to
|Underplant Wheat

Benton County wheat farmers
who have 1912 or 1871 "hot" wheat
stored may be interested in under
seeding their 1913 wheat acreage
allotment in order to release with
out penalty some of this excess
wheat, suggests Fred Wilson, chair
man of the Benton County AGA
Committee. 49,
Regulations require that wheat
farmer seed 90 per cent of his 1913
wheat acreage allotment in order
to get full credit on his wheat his
tory for the land he would ordinarily
have seeded to wheat and in order
TO get full 1913 AAA payments.
The 1913 regulations, however, also
provide that way crops including
soybeans for beans, flaxseed, dry
beans. dry peas, cover crop seeds,
sugar beets, hemp, peanuts for oil,
castor beans and barley can be
planted acre for acre for wheat
to meet the 80 per cent require
ment.
With supplies of wheat already
overtaxing storage facilities and
with continuing or expanding need
for war crops in 1913, it is desirable
that farmers underplant 1913 wheat
as much as practicable
and reserve this extra acreage for
such war crops as can be grown
and for feed grain
crops, points out Mr.. Wilson.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERS

E. L.: Would arthritis cause
ones teeth to become sensitive
to hot or cold drinks? What
should be done for sensitive
teeth?
Answer: Sensitive teeth OF
the kind you describe usually
mean some infection or derange-
ment of the teeth and instead
of arthritis causing this, il is
not unlikely that this causes the
arthritis. The only thing TO
be done for sensitive teeth is
to have a thorough dental ex-
animation, including X-rays,
and clear up the fundamental
trouble.
M. L.: Can diphtheria in child
hood cause physical weakness in
later life?
Answer: Yes, one Of the rare
but unfortunate sequelae OF
diphtheria is a form of paralysis
or semiparalysis which may
affect any muscle in the body.

MAX EASTMAN, the latest re-
4FI cruit to the ranks of civil
lied thought from the mental
concentration camp of interna-
tional communism, has written a
new book in his own cleaning,
epicurean and flip-flop style.
1t is Heroes l Have Known:
Twelve Who Lived Great Lives
(Simon & Schuster).
He also has an essay or two
on heroes, why we all must have
heroes and what heroes do to us.
Heroes are our lost, uncoura-
geous selves. We all have them
Il have about 100.
What Mr.. Eastman says about
heroes and hero-worship and
the profound effect that Thomas

a powerful light on Eastman
himself and why he worshipped
at the shrine of the three cham
pion butchers of modern times

GOULD it be possible that our

who are so constantly shouting
down with the rich, are really
sincere in their demands or do
they just like the sound Of their
voices?
If they ever give the subject
serious, intelligent thought they
will have to admit ii is wrong.
Who do you suppose pays the
taxes that keep up our state and
national institutions
Who pays the taxes that feed.
clothe and house our needy?
Who finances experimental
work that costs millions and
who pays for the research work
of our large colleges?
What incentive would the
youth OF today have if he knew
that no matter what he did TO
bring comfort and ease TO the
rest of mankind, he could never
have more than a set income?
And where, may 1 ask, will
the money come from to pay the

intended either to cancel all

ALL ROADS LEAD 70

The War Department mas announced that some
sort of road from the Continental United States to
Alaska will be ready for by the first of the year
This is evidently the roed which has been called
"a pioneer road couple of air bases in the wilder
ness by observer.
Commenting on this road Frederic A. Deano
chairman of the National Resources Planning Board
says in connection with the Alaska transportation
problem 1T is not our purpose to interfere in any
way with the construction of the highway northward
from Edmonton through the Peace River Valley,
which is principally designed to connect the series
of airports along that course"
We believe this is wise attitude to take. If the
highway now under construction did nothing more
than to provide a guide for flyers through the In
terror route and provided means of transportation
for salvasng planes which have crashed on
that route out of reach the wilderness this road
would be worthwhile
There is considerable discussion about
railroad, which may be built north from Prince
George There is no doubt but what railroad would
provide a better means OF transportation from
the States to Alaska at this time. and much less
pensive The rubber and gas shortage plus the long
by motor truck stacked up against the rail haul
should prove this.
There has also been much discussion of late about
utilization of a water route. This idea given
voice to by Arctic explorer Vilhalmur Stefansson
who claims that highway 300 miles long, connect
ing the Mackenzie River with the Yukon would solve
the transportation system In the warm months, says
Steansson, river boats could transport material, and
in the winter months the frozen rivers would make
natural highway for sedge-pulling tractors.
The more routes suggested and the more
which work is started The better We'll like it. We
haven't anything to against any of the proposed
routes The Army engineers apparently know what
they're doing They're building their road that it
will be of a military value More power to them
