Selected Poem
INVERSION

MARTIN Chesley in The New York SUM
I thought the world was upside down
And I hung on parlous toe
Above sea Of billowy cloud
Where the sky gaped below
I thought the elrns and willows swung
Suspended from the ground,
The sheep like flies upon q roof
Slowly moving round.
The great sun cast Its rays aloft,
And upward moved to set,
When looked down on azure space
From earths parapet.
The daisies pointed down at stars
Who came ere 1t was night -.
The supper bell then broke the spell
And the world turned right.

JAPAN HAS TROUBLE IN
PHILIPPINES

While Japan has accorded the sym
boil of independence" to the occupied
Philippines as part of her campaign
to pose as the "liberator" of East
Asia, the Japanese-controlled Manila
radio indicated in a recent broadcast
that Japan had not yet been able to
pacify the archipelago.
Upon inspection of the events of
the past year CT occupation the do
nestle broadcast said, many of your
people could not break the spell of
Imperialism, liberalism, and i. ideas
of American colonization. These peo-
pie secretly prayed for the return of
the American, refused to cooperate
with the Japanese, spread false in
formation for the purpose of alienat-
ing the Filipinos and the Japanese,
and furthermore Joined guerrilla
bands to fight against the Japanese.
Various forms of resistance must
be admitted, and it must be confessed
that they were disorderly. Although
it has been the policy of the Empire
of Japan to show condescension and
understanding to the people of an &C.

REPORT OF WORK
IN SUPREME
COURT FOR week

DECISIONS:
October 2eth-State ex rel. Elmo
McCracken v. The Montana Liquor
Control Board. Appealed from the
district court of Lewis and Clark
county. Unanimous opinion of the
court prepared by Justice Left Erick-
son.
Facts: McCracken operates retail
liquor establishment at a place near
Billings called "McCracken" or Lake
Elmo" He was required to pay
5000 license fee and he brought an ac-
ton in mandamus to recover the diff
ference between a 5000 fee and a 5000
fee on the theory that Lake Elmo was
a town and that in town of Lake
Elmo's size the law requires only
5000 fee.
Held: That "McCracken" or Lake
Elmo" was not a town within the
of the liquor license statutes
and that since McCracken's place was
located within five miles of Billings
and not in a town he must pay the
same fee as required of establish
ments similar to his operating in Bill
lings, or 100000.

'STEADIED BY
LOWER SUPPLY

Trend in grain markets was mixed
during the week ended October 49,
according to the war food administra-
ton, as wheat rye and flax advanced
while oats and barley were somewhat
lower. Wheat was steadied by lack
of selling pressure and statistics
which showed continued heavy disap-
pearance of supplies. Along with the
announcement OF planned ceilings for
soft wheat came the statement that
no ceilings for hard wheat would be
set below parity levels since such
procedure would be contrary to exist
| ing legislation. Mills seemed to do a
little flour business despite the ap-
parently unavoidable spread between
wheat costs and flour ceilings. Bar
ley and oats declined as demand
slackened and talk of ceilings kept
speculative buying in check. Flax
prices gained sharply as demand
broadened and country offerings d.
minished.
PARITY and FARM PRICES: Both
parity and farm prices advanced dur
ing the period September Is to Octo-
prices were calculated as follows:
wheat lat, corn 107, oats 662, barley
1903, rye 120, and flax 2S1, all in cents
per bushel. Farm prices showed
good advances and on October Is
were: wheat 1876, corn 1O7, oats 74.4,
barley 103, and rye 101.

NAzI PROPAGANDA BAcKFIREs

A Nazi propaganda pamphlet that
recently reached this country, when
matched against events that have
taken place since it's issuance, Illus
trates how Nazi defensive propaganda
strategy has backfired on its origina-
tors.
Some time ago, as means of COM
batting the inscription of the defeat
symbol 1913" by patriots on the
walls Of Europe, the German propa-
ganda ministry put out a booklet en-
titled "1918-1943?" to refute the valid
ity of juxtaposing these two dates
The booklet contrasted photographs
of conditions in 1918 with photographs
and drawings of conditions today.
In an attempt to show the German
people how much better off they were
now, one part of the pamphlet ex-
plotted the Nazi occupation of the
Ukraine as an instrument Of obtain
ing abundant foodstuffs.
A photograph inscribed 1913"
showed haggard-looking German sol
diers, lined up for food, with the cap
ton reading: "Hungry-'The German
troops in the Ukraine are on the
point of starving Statement of a
German general in June 1882. On
the opposite page, by contrast, was a
drawing and photograph with the in
scription "1943." The drawing showed
numerous trains speeding westward
from the Ukraine, while the photo
graph depicted the departure of the
first train from the Ukraine with food
stuffs for Germany.
Underneath was the caption:
Planned Economy = Since 1912,
more than 1000 freight trains with
foodstuffs came from the Ukraine into
the Reich and into Allied countries
and occupied territories"
Now that the Russians are driving |
the Germans out of the Ukraine, this |
booklet of DR.. Joseph |
Goebbels is working against itself.

NAILS OPEN ATTACK
ON SWISS PRESS

The Nazi press, which on several
occasions has denounced Swedish
newspapers for their anti-Nazi atti-
tude, is now criticizing the Swiss
press for its tendency to devote more
space to Allied news than to German
developments, the Stockholm Svenska
Dagbladet reported recently.
The Dagbladet said the Nazi-con-
trolled Alsatian newspaper Strass-
burger Neueste Nachrichten had
launched an especially caustic attack
on the Swiss, saying that while Swift

center with the right to "give every
body advice" she actually wasn't "the
world navel, but Europe's appendix"

mean death in our time, but if it be-
