For Pay in Own Fake Money

ITO keep the payroll straight, it
was necessary to give the Japs Eng
lish names. They were given such
titles as Joe Doakes, Willie the
Weeper. Hamstrung Harry and Ivan
Awfuhtch. On paydays, without
smile, the Japs answered to their
names in pidgin English as they
stepped out of line to receive their
pay.
"Spurred by the double raise idea,
they were willing to work on a "a
hour basis. They ran around the
camp washing clothes, mending
shoes, scrubbing tents and even
weaving camouf1age nets for our
guns.
That Capt Davidovich had

Japs, their pockets bulging with
phoney currency, felt that dying for

WORK WHEN DRY
When the time comes to Guilt
vate, try to get the job done when
the plant leaves are not wet with
dew or rain. Spreading the water
has a tendency to spread disease.
There is a rather widespread
belief that colored dry beans. as
produced by garden snap vines,
are inferior to white dry beans
not only in flavor but also in nu-
tritive value. and are therefore
not worth saving. But the depart
ment of agriculture says this is
not true, and all beans too old for
immediate use should be allowed
to ripen on the vine for winter
eating. We must save every ounce
of food this year
