Uncle Rays Corner

One summer I rented q cottage
from a farmer who lived near the
shore OF Lake Michigan. Shortly
after I moved into the cottage, the
farmers wife pointed out a dog,
and said, There's an interesting
story about that dog"
I'D like to hear about It," re-
piled
Well" she went on, that dog
took care Of baby rabbit! We
found the rabbit under the cottage
which you have rented. 1t was
cold day, and the little thing
seemed to have hardly any life in it.
Taking it into our home, we
placed it in box behind the stove
and thawed it out. Soon 1t was
feeling much better and hoped out
Of the box.
THE dog happened to be in the
kitchen at the time, and shifted
the baby rabbit. Instead of hurt
ing 1t, however, she picked it up
with her teeth, holding gently
by the back of its neck and car
ried 1t back to the box.
After that, the dog acted as a
mother to the rabbit. She gave it
the heat of her body, and watched
over 1t from day to day. guess
1t was because she had no puppies
OF her own. Whenever the puppv
would get out Of the box, she would
go after it and bring it back"
BY the time I heard this story,
the rabbit was gone. Cared for bv
the dog, it had grown to a point
where it was old enough to be set
Tree. Living its own life out in
the woods, I wonder how well it
remembered its dog mother"
Dogs, as rule, are enemies of
rabbits, but there have been
number of special cases of much
the same kind. Dogs and other
ANIMALS have been known to moth
err baby animals of different kinds.
FIVE years ago the London ZOO
oought three of the rare animals
known as giant pandas." The price
paid for them was $4,000.
w va VIC grant pdnCaS were
well grown, but the third was
baby named Ming. During her
youth, Ming lived in a cage with a
police dog. The dog was much
stronger, but it was understood that
Its duty was to play with the pam
da. not to hurt it.
Growing to be good-sized ami
NAL, Ming perhaps missed having
child of her own. At length. how
ever, someone gave her toy panda
OF the kind which small boys and
girls often keep as playthings.
Ming liked the toy panda. which
was made in her own image, and
fell into the habit of holding il in
her arms when she went to sleep
each night.

Pressure on Germany
lNew York Timesl

New York Times,
 Though German morale on the military front appears to be still high all reports from inside many agree that the German people are war-weary and disllusioned. They know that the war is lost They realize that the millions of dead including 100000 of their own with which Hitler promised to fertilize conquered land for their blows have been sacrificed in vain. They know this from the ap- preaching thunder of the Russian guns along the Dneper they told by the roar of Allied cannon on the Italian front and they feel it in their own bodies as they did not feel it in 1913, because of the Allied bombings of their cities. 1a-h{ se55
 There is one important difference, however be- tween 1918 and 1943. As, compared with the regime of terror established by Himmer, not only in the conquered areas but also in Germany itself, the Kaiser's regime even in wartime was one of liberty and free speech. The German people still had party organizations through which they could express them seves-and act They also had Wilson's Fourteen Points to fall back upon to cushion defeat ana 10 provide hope for the future. Today even ocular remark which some Gestapo agent can interpret as defeatism makes heads roll and instead of any four teen pointed cushion there is only the desperate pros pec of vengeance by the nations they have tortured
 Fear-fear of the axeman and terrible tomorrow is therefore the last moral resource from which the Germans must draw the strength to continue the fight And that fear is the dominant role of Nazl propaganda now. But how long can fear whip up flagging energies when it is wthuot hope? When Britain and Russia and the United States and the other Allies suffered their at the beginning o the war they knew that if they could only hold out long enough mobilize their resources and those of their friends they would not only themselves but also crush the Hope enabled them to take bad news without breaking, The Germans are con fronted with their reyerses after they have shot their bolt and when they know that their resources are shrinking. f.M
 tl,o If he there will be hard fighting. The end may still be long and costly. But each days news from Russia and the Italian front must seal the fate of Htlers Reich in the eyes of the German people.

Alaskans have much to be thankful for this year. Although the is still far from won, Aaskans can feel much safer than last year at this time when the Japs encamped in the Aleutians. And with the evicting of the Japs comes welcome relaxation in certain regulations the lifting of dimouts and travel restrictions.

CORN-PRICE WAR

The corn war IS on again-to de- termine whether to let the price rise above present ceilings. Last summers battle on the same issue was settled by holding the ceiling, but the pressure for rise is now stronger than ever.
 Basic problem is the growing shortage of feed grains in dairy and poultry sections, especially in the East. That shortage is not acute now, because farmers are using their homegrown grains, but these will run out soon, and the great stocks of Midwest grain will have to move East if flocks and herds are to be kept alive.
 As usual, Agriculture officials are lined up on one side, OPA on the other. Here is the lineup:
 Howard R. Tolley, Chief of the Bureau of Agricultural Economies, says flatly that the price of corn must go up, so that corn-hog farm CTS will find it more profitable to sell their corn than to feed it to hogs.
 J. B. Hutson, Assistant Director of the Food Production Admins tration, takes the same view as Tolley, and has more to say about the decision as head of an action agency.
 Richard Gilbert OPA economist says, "The price of corn will go up over my dead body. He con- tends price increase would let down the bars to a boost in the price of living all along the line.
 Economic Stabilizer Vinson has made no commitment, but is known to be opposed. He fears that ar increase for. corn would increase prices of chicken feed and dairy feed and make things tough for al except corn farmers.
 Note Real trouble, according t( many officials. is that hog farmer Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard, long delayed in helping to put a ceiling price on hogs, ano that even now the ceiling price or hogs is so profitable that hog farm CTS feed their corn at home rathel than sell it.

..5 FRIDAY, II NOVEMBER 4.

This is an unimportart day in planetary rule. A benefic aspect dominates after the morning hours HEART AND HOME: Women should be poised and serene under this configuration. It is day for rest and recreation, for pleasant memories and heart-warming hopes Girls may expect romance of the love-at-first-sight brand. The day is suspicious for the informal social affairs that the men of the house hold enjoy. Fathers may expect added responsibilities as citizens They will carry many public bur. dens in the next few weeks.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS; ExpanSioii of purchasing power. as result of high wages and substantial returns from agriculture will assure great volume of holiday trade. Retail merchants will profit greatly. Deal- CTS in foodstuffs,. having had help iful lessons from tile Thanksgiving trade, will provide generously for Christmas feaSts. Government ef- forts to reduce living costs will avail in a limited way because of plane tary influences that impart reck- less point of view The average householder will celebrate today without thought of the morrow.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Household CTS, anxious about fuel problems, will grow restless under the heavy burden of coal prices. Consumers must practice extreme economies, but astrologers remind the public that the fault is not confined to producers. or distributors. Fore sight and wise cooperation have not been noticeable in the programs of those most concerned. Consumers have been indifferent-until they began to. shiver, the seers point out. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Evil portents of intense fighting. in which the British forces will bel handicapped, are seen in aspects of Mars and Uranus In London. there may be, sabotage on a large scale. Death will close two historic careers when persons of royalty pass on within the next few. weeks. Tine coming Winter is to be perilous to the health of number of celebrit- les, especially men who are direct ing, the war.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have l.the augury of a year of unexpected nappenings. Many will gain in un- usual ways.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be, desirous of adventure.
 They should be talented and orig
 nal but careful education will be
 necessary for balapced development.
