ceived a letter from a company stating
that many vitamin pills do not contain
sufficient quantity of each essential
vitamin. I am advised to examine any

quately included, as well as the more

Ed Begley is a radio actor who plays
mean parts. The other day he got a let
ter from his son in the army asking his
father If he ever supposed he would
play the part of a mice guy" Apparent.
ly trying to increase his reputation as
an old enemy, Ed replied by sending his
son a picture Of himself in a recent
Broadway play wearing a Nazi uniform
and a mean sneer. He also described
another role he is now playing, that of
a man whose hobby is stealing allotment
checks from soldiers wives and
mothers.
/ read in the papers the other day
that L.. Colonel Serge Obolensky was
Forces to land in Sardinia This was of
much interest to me because I knew
Obolensky when he was a quiet,
moustached, mild-mannered civilian at
tending parties for the Russian nobility
in New York. Then he was known as
"Prince Obolensky" and is said to be
i one of the few former Russian Czarist
officers who are still alive and active.
Seeing him then, l would never lave
pictured him as one who would make q
bold and daring parachute jump into
the midst Of the enemy. It just goes to
show you that one can't always Judge
by appearances.
Joe Doctor tells me that everyone
should have a will, no matter what his
or her age. I was somewhat surprised
ut this because il had always seemed
to me that there was no necessity for
and decrepit people who just about had
one foot in the grave. However, Joe,
who is a financial wizard. says that
anyone can 60 to . stationery store and
for a few cents buy a legal form Of a
will. Then II the buyer will have this
document properly witnessed and put
away in his home or office, it consti-
tutes a legal will and testament in case
of death. This, Joe says, prevents srst-
while disinterested relatives from step

which the spouse or close family of the
deceased may be entitled to.
One of the most interesting persons
I nave met lately is Mrs. Wayne Clark,
wife of the General who is now leading
our Fifth Army in Italy. She was IN a
visit to New York recently and l had the
opportunity to chat with her about what
she is doing in the absence Of her IA
nous husband. She is a rather small,
vivacious lady with an infectious smile
that breaks through at the slightest
provocation. At the present time she

do programs for the Armed Services.
She says one of the things General
Clark misses most is his dog Pal, a
cocker spaniel, who spends many hours
looking at the Generals picture. Mrs.
Clark used to live in Texas and one of
the things she misses most is enchila-
dos, the ~well-known Mexican dish.
1t is estimated that the Army will
consume 1888, 442 turkey drumsticks on
Thanksgiving Day of this year No mat
ter where the fighting man is, whether
in Italy or in the South Pacific, he will
have his turkey or this day. Over ten
million pounds of the great American
bird will be needed to give every Amer
lean serviceman a sufficient supply for
his capacious stomach. Turkeys are in
teresting things. l remember when I
lived on a farm that we raised a num-
Der of them, and it was always a job
trying to keep the young turkeys alive.
For some reason or other, they would
wander into a creek and be drowned or
get too close to a hungry pig or dog or
just naturally fold up and pass away.
So I have a great deal of sympathic re-
gard for people who raise turkeys. Prob
ably few people realize how much care
and patience is required to bring the
luscious bird to the table for a quick
consumption.

Increase PuIpwood Production

Millions of home front soldiers have laid by their crops
and started cutting pulpwood in an effort to meet Uncle
Sans demand for an extra two and one-haf million cords
to fill the wartime needs of our country. Every farmer and
landowner in Holmes county is urged to use selective cutting
in cutting timber on lands so that the land will provide an
income in the years to come and at the same time guard
against erosion.
Pulpwood has been called a miracle" product which can
now be converted into powder for bullets, hospital wadding,
vests for aviators, containers for blood plasma, cargo para
chutes, shipping containers for food, boxes for individual
first-aid kits and a hundred other items essential in the daily
lives Of our fighting men.
Remember one stroke of the axe or saw means powder
for one Garand rifle bullet; one tree, $500 bullets; one cord,
10000 bullets. One cut of the saw means part of a box for
precious blood plasma that will save the life of some fighting
man on the front he may be your neighbours son or
your own.
Holmes county citizens can increase their incomes by
cutting pulpwood and at the same time render a valuable and
necessary service to our country on the home front.

Urgers Farmers To Cut Trees

Harvest of war-needed lumber and
other wood products from the 10000. 900
acres of productive woodland on farms
can be sharply increased without danger
to the future supply, according to the
Department Of Agriculture. II farmers
would consider farm woodlands and
farm forests as crop land, and every
year carefully cut selected trees that
are ripe for harvest, they would be SUR
prised at their returns and "They would
certainly aid the war effort" H. H,

Consumers who have any coal are

recently. Retail coal dealers have been
asked to check the fuel supply Of their
customers to discover where the need
for coal is most acute. Dealers in COM
munities where coal has been short and
where the weather has turned cold have
been directed to get in touch with the

most needed.
