war news
BY Mrs. Chas. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

To win this war food will have to
follow the flag as new territories are
occupied.
It must be the right kinds of food
Protein foods, rich in vitamins and
minerals. Foods that ship easily and
keep well.
Claude Wickard, our food admin
istrator, has placed big order for
the amount necessary with our farm
ers for 1913.
Farmers are patriotic. They want
victory for the United Nations and
liberty assured for the common peo-
pie of the future.
The sum total of food needed is
beyond our comprehension, but when
broken down to county and farm
units it seems possible to meet that
challenge and the American farmer
will cooperate.
Whether the farmer is American
born, or American by choice, he loves
his freedom. He will fight for it as a
soldier of the soil. To know definitely
chow much" or "how many" his farm
should produce, eliminates guess
work.
Farmers have always worked hard.
They can hardly work longer or
harder, but they can use all their skill
and resources toward raising the food
our country needs.
A few reverberations are heard to
abolish AAA. If human nature were
perfect then we could as well abolish
all rationing-and drafting for mill
tary service.
Human nature being what it is we
can't be too sure that the farmer will
send all his boys and the hired man
to war, and that city men will give
up their career for $50 per month and
a 55-pound pack.
We can't be sure that housewives
won't hoard coffee, sugar, or canned
goods and that motorists haven't
boarded gas.
The AAA makes for unity and
teamwork. It means raising less of
the things we don't need, and more
of the food we do need.
It is not only an agency that helps
the farmers. The American consum-
er, our armed forces and our allies
are really the biggest benefactors.
Woe to them if the production of
crops were left to individual discrim-
ination.
Some politicians advocate removing
all restrictions and merely guarantee
the farmers cost of production plus a
fair profit. A beautiful theory, but
would it work? The farmer could
produce all he wanted of any COM
modify whether it's needed or not.
Business would want the same con-
sideration. So produce all you want,
boys, whether it's clothes pins or ouija
boards, wheat or tobacco. Uncle Sam
would pay cost of production plus a
fair profit.

Colonial Oyster Fishing

Throughout the Colonies the new
settlers took to oyster fishing with
such enthusiasm that conservation
measures were necessary even be-
fore the Revolution. In 1865 Rhode
Island enacted laws "for the preser-
walton Of the oyster" to keep the
coastal beds from being scraped
bare. Through conservation meas
ures the oyster industry has become
the nations third-ranking fishing in
dustry, with its production annually
valued at 81e million dollars. Now
surpassed by the salmon and the
tuna industries, oyster fishing once
ranked first.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW

CONTINUED from Page II
lingrad, and in the region north
west of Moscow have taken the
very important railroad center,
Veliki Luli.
Several other cities have been re-
captured from the Germans, and if
they really had-as had been told
any hope of entrenching themselves
somewhere in the western part of
the invaded country in an effort to
survive the winter and to intensity
their strength, they seem to be doomed
to dark disappointment, for the Rus
slams will not leave them in peace.
The slow German withdrawal is not
yet a retreat in the full and literal
sense of that word or, at least, it is
not called that, but in reality it is
nothing but that, since the enemy
marches backward all the time, the
Russians themselves are storming
ahead all the time.
According to Moscow tabulations,
German losses on the battlefields are
Enthusiastically immense, but there is
some reason to believe that the sta
tistics are not quite accurate, and
what arouses a bit of suspicion is
that you never hear Of any Russian
losses!
African Fronts.
There are still two fronts in North
Africa-the Libyan and the Tunisian.
From non-military viewpoints it
has appeared rather strange that the
United Nations did not sustain their
beginning offensive against Burma
and the Dutch East Indies, and it
likewise seems remarkable that they
have not yet succeeded in capturing
General Field Marshal Rommel and
his tired fugitives dragging them
selves through the Libyan desert
away from their humiliating disaster
in Egypt and eastern Libya. Reports
from this sector are rather monot-
onous, for they keep on repeating
that the British Eighth Army pur-
sues Rommel, and that the First
Army is waiting for him at the
Libyan-Tunisian frontier. But he
and his armies are still free to fight
if they have any fight left in them;
it can't be much.
Slow Motion.
In Tunisia Americans and British
are still making frantic attempts to
capture the cities of Bizerte and
Tunis, but so far without results.
They seem to be facing a Nazi
resistance here which is con-
siderably sitter than they had
expected, especially in view of
the ease with which they carried
out the initial invasion of North
and Northwest Africa.
Circumstances being what they are,
we may be told one of these days that
decisive things are about to happen
south of the Mediterranean. It's
merely matter of little time.

Must Present Trucks
For Tire Inspection

The Pine county ration board an
nounces that all truck owners must
present their trucks for tire inspec-
ton before January Is, 1943, in line
with the certificate of war necessity
program. A commercial motor vehi-
Gle cannot be operated lawfully after
that date without an endorsement by
an approved tire inspector.
After January Is, trucks must be
presented for tire inspection at 60-day
or 5000 mile intervals, whichever
occurs first.
The purpose of these periodic tire
inspections, ODT points out, is to in
sure proper tire conservation to keep
America rolling on wheels for the
duration.

Clean Fighters

Soldiers and sailors not only look
cleaner than most civilians, they
really are cleaner. According to the

they use approximately twice as
much soap as the average man out

ments for military personnel at 2k

Ford Name

SPRINGFIELD, H., May 7 -
fPl-- The arrest Of farm wife
and search for a second woman
alleged to have taken part In
100000 swindle through the
use Of Henry Fords name were
disclosed here yesterday.
Attorney General George F.
Barrett said residents of Full
ton County had been induced to
invest in fantastic confidence
game and that he believed sim
liar sWindle was going on In
Missouri, iowa and California.
Barrett said that Mrs Edna
Woodcock, AZ, farm wife OF
near Canton, had been arrested
on confidence game charges and
released on bond. He said Mrs.
Catherine BoWcott of st. Davis
was sought on a similar charge.
The women, Barrett said, told
prospects that Henry Ford had
named them as his agents TO dis
tribute funds in the community
so he could give away ID per
cent of his income for charitable
purposes.

quarter.
Those August and December
drives will top off the effort.
All the while the government
will be selling those f, F and
G. bonds, the small ones which
the average investor can handle,
plus tax notes which attract big
money people although anyone
can buy them.
The notes are designed for
federal tax payments and short
term investment. Funds invested
in them will enable the owners
TO reduce their future tax loads,
earn a return for them as long
as the money remains invested
- up to maturity - and supply
the treasury with funds TO meet
current war costs.
Robbins spoke as he did be-
cause.
All through the war and
the bond sales will last through
the war - the treasury wants
Americans to invest in govern
ment securities so they will get
their surplus cash out Of circu-
lation at time when the goods
they can buy are scarce.
In that l3-billion dollar April
drive the treasury limited the
amount banks could purchase 10
five billion. The rest was 10 be
absorbed by business organiza-
tons, like insurance companies,
and individuals, partnerships
and personal trusts

BY JAMES MARROW and
GEORGE ZIELKE


WASHINGTON, May 7-(P)
Uncle Sam is telling you-the
average citizen-to take your
hands out of your pockets. You
may as we'll get used TO hearing
that He'll keep 1t up.
Why? Because there are
some things TO think about be-
fore getting chcsty over the sue
cess--and it was a success-of
the April War Bond drive which
nettcd him l8 billion dollars,
five billion more than the goal
he set.
That drive reaped more re-
wards than any government
campai gn-in the history of this
country--to raise money for
war. But
William NJ Robbins, chair
man of the Treasury'S War Fin
ance committee, said that, even
though the drive was a success,
financial mobilization in the ma
/, ton is tagging.
He pointed out that only 7 per
cent-Sl $50 600 ,000-of that 10
billion came out Of the pockets
of the average citizen in pur-
chase Of "E bonds, called the
Peoples Bonds because they
are the cheapest.
Treasury Secretary Morgcn-
than said that even the April
performance must be better
cd. .
This is what lies ahead for the
remainder of the year, accord
ing TO Treasury officials:
A continuous effort TO sell
bonds between now and August,
and, in that month, another
drive. probably greater and with
larger goal than April's. Then
more continuous effort between
September and December. In
that final month Of 1943-an-
other drive.
Both during tie drives and
in the intervals, Morgcnthau
said, II is important that all
who have regular incomes or &C
cumulated funds make steady
purchases Of the several issues
Of savings bonds. "
The goals in the government
drives have been going up. In
Dec. 1912, the first great drive
Of this war, the goal was nine
billion dollars but Sl2, 0,000,-
900 was raised.
O. that total individuals, part
ncrships, and personal trusts
purchased only Sl,014,000, 900
In the April drivc-when tho
goal was IL billion-individuals
bought 50 ,880000.000, including
the e bonds.
The costs Of war. meanwhile,
are going up. For the calendar
year of 1912 the government
spent about So billions. OF this
10 billion came from taxes and
81 billion was borrowed.
In the calendar year Of 1913
the government Will spend about
100 billion. OF that total, 30 bill
! lion will be raised by taxes. Tho
remainder 49, 20 billion 49, will
be obtained through sale of gov
