And loneliness, because even heroes get

often" 80. "Say hello to the boys l used to
work with. There are times when one
gets lonesome, but then on second thought
it's better to be in action on foreign soil
than on our own. -. "To feel that we are
still part of the Company is the best pos
sible boost to our morale"
These letters make us proud At the same
time they greatly increase our sense of
obligation and gratitude. We owe the Har-
vester men in our Country's service the
very best we are capable of in our war
production.
But we owe them much more than that!

Men cannot live by material things alone.
In time of war, especially, we must reckon
with the things of the spirit. Our boys need
our letters, our interest, our devotion.
They do not ask much One letter speaks
for ALL ''To know that those we left behind
have not forgotten, is all we ask" We can
not give them less.
Whoever you are, you have a loved one
or friend fighting your fight somewhere
on a far-away front. Write him today
write him often-write him cheerful, en-
courdging letters to let him know that you
are keeping the home front ready for his
victorious return In the truest, fullest
sense your letters will be Victory mail.

DOMESTIC DICTATORS

1t is possible for various types
Of Ueak-minded husbands and
,Uiues to rule their households in
the same fashion that dictators
rule nations-by brute force. A
small man, ,Uho is weak physi-
calIy, ,Urites Kathleen Norris
that his ,Oife occasionally beats
him despite the fact that once she
saved his life. 4 young rUite re-
lates the old story of ho,O her
husband beats her. These do
mestic dictators should be sub
jected to mental examinations,
and sometimes just the suggestion
of such action ,UiH calm their
brutal outbursts.

on mans bootheel and the clean
ing process would have to be repeat
ed all over again.
Under such conditions it looked
as though these prairie lands, rich
as they were, could never be farmed
satisfactorily. Then, in 1887, a
Yankee blacksmith changed all that.
He gave them a plow that would
"scour" itself. His name was John
Deere and he was the "Father of
the Steel Plow," the man that cen
quered the prairie sod.
The Ely miner., 1943-09-23

Woman Tells of Spankings.

One letter I had recently came
from "Humiliated Wife" Her hus-
band gives her old-fashioned spank
ings for extravaganza, sauciness
and using the car without his per-
mission. She is much younger than
he. She is a humiliated wife, for
he takes no pains to conceal from
the neighbors that he Furnishes her
in his way, and lawyer they con-
suited, possibly one of his lodge
friends, assured her that the hus-
band was quite within his rights.
Of course, this young creature
must know that she could claim a
divorce and alimony in these cir
cumstances. Even "incompatibility"
and mental cruelty" score up their
thousands of legal separations every
year. But there may be good rea-
son why she doesn't want a divorce,
such as a religious law, death-bed
promise, or just 10-year-old girls
reluctance to confess failure, and
give up the dream of being a loyal,
respected wife.
So my advice would be that she
get her husband to talk to a doctor.
Sometimes chronic dyspepsia or
stomach ulcers drive man mad.
Then see psychopath or even an
alienist. No sane man marries a
woman for whom he has so little
affection or respect that he can
make her life a burden.
If he won't consent to either of
these steps, and he probably will OBJ
ject, for it is probable such a man
thinks himself infallible, then the
wife must go away, leave him for the
sake of children she may have if
she stays in his home. Such ma
lures as his won't change, and "Hu-
INFLATED Wife" may live to see in
nocent confident children similarly
bullied and abused, and then she
will be helpless. The effect of brutal
cruelty on children is deep-reaching.
I have known many men and women
who have never recovered from the
horrors of a brutalized childhood.
Asylums are full of them.
Grandmother Punished Children.
One lovely woman that I knew
would never leave her five beautiful
children alone with her own mother;
no, not for an instant.
"She used to enjoy Furnishing us,
too, when was child" the woman
told me. "She is a wonderful, bril-
liant, popular figure in certain cir
cles. But she worked off all her
nervous energies on us as children.
Sobbing, pleading, and crying con-
stituted my childhood. When father
sent my sister and I to boarding
school it was heaven, except for the
thought of the other two little sisters
who were being whipped at home.
One of them is a nervous wreck to
this day."
So don't risk that, "Humiliated
Wife," You haven't been able to
save yourself from disillusionpent,
and heartbreak but you can save
your children.
Men who feel themselves unimpor-
tant and frustrated in business am
bitions frequently take their satis-
faction in hurting any innocent help
less thing who comes their way.
But there are plenty of jobs for
women now. So slip away and find
work, and don't come home until
your husbands eyes are opened to
the true beauty, dignity, companion
ship and equality of marriage. Un-
less the man is either mentally un-
balanced or he must know that he is
as faulty as you and as all of us. And
it isn't for any one to take the atti-
tude of domestic dictator.

UNEXPENDED WAR FUNDS
MUST BE WATCHED
Released by Western Newspaper Union

MUST BE WAIChED
THAT CONGRESS has fully pro-
vided funds for war purposes IS
demonstrated by the fact that OF
the money appropriated for expendi-
ture up to July l of this year, 2O3
billion dollars had not been used
but was still subject to the call OF
the administrative departments. II
means the departments had In their
hands sum equivalent to an aver
age of 81, SCI for each man, woman
and child in the nation. That IS
nearly twice the amount that has
actually been expended for war pur-
poses during the years of 1941, ~
and '43. From July l, 1910, to
July l, 1941, expenditures for war
purposes amounted to S6,30l ,043,-
165. For the next year, ending July
/, 1912, the expenditures amounted
to $26, oil ,065, 5,089, and for the last
year, ending July l, 1943, the total
was 1928, 400, ,244.
In addition to the 203 billions Of
unexpended balances, congress has
provided well over 100 billion for
war purposes for the current fiscal
year, ending July l, 1914.
Senator Byrd is asking the "why"
of these tremendous unexpended
balances. He sees In them dan
ger to American institutions In plac-
ing so much, evidently unneeded
money, in the hands of government
departments. Congress could, and
possibly may, recall such balances
as have not been expended, or for
which contracts have not been let.
Congress has voted money like the
proverbial drunken sailor. II it Is
not needed it would be well to re-
ieve the taxpayers of as much or
the war burden as is possible or
saving. That 1861 is quite a sum
for each one of us to meet. That,
plus the individual portion of the
appropriations for this year, means
an average of better than 81, 500 for
each man, woman and child, or
mortgage for each family Of five
of $12, 500.

Yankee Blacksmith Won Fame the Father of the Steel Pow

Although it may be true, as the
author of "Plowman's Folly" de-
clares, that today ''the moldboard

the iron-shod moldboard of the plow.
So the pioneer plowman always
had to carry a wooden paddle with
him. Then, when his straining oxen
couldn't pull forward another step,
he'd have to jerk the plow out of
the ground and clean it off with his
paddle. But it was only few min
utes until the sticky muck had rolled
up on the plowshare like balled snow
