Where Pet Cats
Hear the Coll
Of the Wild

- HARLIE DANA. an Indian
4 guide and trapper, who has
been running a trap line
along the upper Swift River this
Winter thinks about half the So
called wild cats in this section
are nothing more than house cats
gone native. He says
Il have always believed that
a cat is naturally a wild animal
OF course a domesticated cat in
the city doesn't have any chance
10 do much more than pounce
on some rat or mouse. but in the
country-well, that's a different
story.
But ask any farmer how
many cats he has lost. The ami
mails will stick around for months
and nobody would suspect that
they had the call Of the wild in
their veins Yet one day they
turn up missing and never come
back. They have taken to the
forest.
If you have ever watched a
cat in the field stalking some
small bird you know what a
clever operation it is. No wild
animal of the forest can move
more silently or spring on its
prey more uncrringly. once a
farm cat gets TO wandering in
the nearby wood lot and kills
a squirrel or a bird the chances
are the cat itself becomes wild
in due time providing it has a
natural bent in that direction
and many of them have.
There are a lot Of such ami
mails in the Big Woods and when
they took to the Tall Timber a
lot of hunting knowledge went
with them. Their experience at
stalking small birds in the fields
broadens as they tackle the
larger game. Gradually they null
tiply and become big and strong
like the real Canadian lynx.
Il have shot several of these
animals and I am prepared 60

nothing but ordinary house cats e

Japs, who was taken by a Jap
officer for his concubine. Dur

The laps are indeed paying
heavily for the folly Of having
overlooked the sturdy resistance
of Chinese women. In the height
of their invasion, one band Of

loaded certain bulky objects on

the boats took off.
When the boats were spotted
in waters inside Jap territory a
few days later, there was Moth

picion. Jap water-police, investi-
eating casually, saw only old
HtHks and river boats filled with
wood and rags and rotting food.
But the sampaus were not so
innocent as they lookcI.

that - they dropped overheard

was just that. AS the guerrilla was
being led away, an old Chinese
woman came up weeping loudly
and pulling at the Jap captors'
sleeves. She insisted the man
was her son and not the hunted
guerrilla chief. She followed the
prisoner and captors for three
miles, weeping, moaning, snivel-
ling. The enemy knew no way
TO cope with a bothersome old
woman. They concluded their
catch was poor one after all,
and turned their prisoner free
glad 10 be rid of the noisy woman.
One day last Summer an entire
company of the northwest guer-
rilla forces, dressed as farmers,
were operating west Of Peiping,
and rested for the night in a
village inside occupied land. A
Japanese garrison was tipped off
by an informer, and rushed the
entire company to the village
surprising it. But they could
find no Chinese soldiers.
The Jap commander then had
brillian. idea. He ordered his
men to rout out every man and
child in town and have all gather
in the public square. Then,
apishly grinning, he ordered each
child TO pick out his father and
relatives from the assembled
menfolks! One by one, each
Chinese child picked" his father,
uncle, brother. When they came
10 the end, all the townsmcn
were picked!
The children were smarter than
the Jap commander.
CONSERVATION struck a small
group OF Chinese villages one
day when they saw a group OF
Jap soldiers approaching across
the plains.
AS the Jap soldiers drew near,
they saw an old Chinese village
woman walking across the fields
her market basket full Of
squawking chickens. The Japs,
always hungry, were pleased 70
see this easy prey. The soldiers
broke ranks and ran towards the
woman. She pretended great
fright-ran towards the woods,
her chickens flying in all direc-
tions. And in all directions the
laps chased them-right into the
waiting guns of guerrilla sol
diers.
Inside occupied territory, old
Chinese men often pose as guides,
leading the Japs into ambush.
Often the brave old" darc-to-
dies" as they are called, die
with the Japs
Attractive young Chinese girls
often serve as dccoys. 4 bevy
of pretty young Chinese girls,
CARRIED in gay colors, are seen
disporting themselves in a field
just as an odd coincidence
regiment of Jap soldiers passes.
The Japs, enjoying rape as a
pastime, run after the girls, who
dash for the woods. Then the
Chinese guerrillas leap out, fire
in the faces of the amazed Japs.

Food is an important weapon of war.
All of us at home must get along with
less, and, through rationing, share the
civilian supply.
Before the war, the answers to ques-
tons like those on this page weren't so
important. That was when YOU could
buy all the food you wanted. When you
didn't think twice about driving to your
grocer's to get just pound of butter or
half dozen eggs. When many food stores
delivered every day and sometimes twice
a day. When anyone could buy new
refrigerator!
But now the answers to these questions
are uitdlly important to your family's
health and happiness-to your time and
peace of mind
Frigidaire's great new booklet,
WARTIME SUGGESTIONS, answers dozens
of today's perplexing food problems. 1t
gives you the benefit of Frigidaire's %

LABOR DAY 1913
By RUTH TAYLOR

Labor Day 1913 finds US all
workers - workers and fighters
In war against tyranny, against
despots who would make us ali
slaves. The wheels of production
are humming all over the land as
an answer to the challenge of
those who say that free men
cannot do as much voluntarily as
can ranks of regimented robots
who work or rest at the nod OF
a master.
Labor Day is a typically Amer
lean institution, bearing no re-
semblance to the labor days" OBJ
seved in Europe before the war.
1t is not a "class" day, drawing
distinctions between a downtrod-
den "lower class" and a thin up
percrust of leisured and privileg-
ed individuals. 1t is not a day of
protest against conditions as they
are. 1t is, instead, day when
the nation as whole dose honor
to those who labor. And that lin
cludes virtually every one of us,
regardless of class, creed or color.
This country was founded on
the theory that a nation could be
welded out of materials from all
over the world. The elder nations
owed their origins to grouping of
various peoples of the same stock
or tongue for protective purposes,
or to wars of conquest, where a
dominant group seized power and
assimilated or overloaded minor
ity factions.
Not so America. For the most
part this nation was founded on
hard work. For it took labor of
all kinds to carve nation out
of virgin wilderness, to make
roads through trackless forests,
to cross mighty rivers, to find
passes through the snow crown
ed mountain heights and to sub
jugate continent. 1t was labor
that cleared lands, and built
townships, clustering around
those forerunners of civilized life,
the church and the schoolhouse.
Our aristocracy has always
been made up from those whose
work was good, and who by their
labor of body and mind made cas-
Ter and better the paths of those
who followed. Our scorn has al
ways been for the idler, for the
man who took advantage of what
others had done, withous contrib
uting either of hand or brain to
the common welfare. The men
and women whom we have chosen |
to honor have been those - no
matter from what group they |
came who have worked hard |
and done most for the common
good.
For this reason Labor Day is
