At the door a ROTC boy will form
you in line and ask if you have
your ration book No. 1. If you
do not, it is useless to get in line.
Next, you will go to the reception
clerk who will hand you declara.
ton form. Then to the clerk who
will assist you in filling out this
blank. After this is completed you
will go to the coffee clerk. Then
you will go to the following clerks
in the order named: declaration,
recording, document, validating,
and exit.
All the clerks positions will be
plainly marked with signs. When
leaving the building be sure your

It will be wise to have your dec
laration form completely filled out

such a handicap" the representa-
tive further quoted Captain Will
iams.
According to Rep. Kermon, the
measure has been found constitu-
tional in a test case arising in
Alabama. He said the provision
was backed by the state depart
ment of revenue.
The revenue bill, including the
amendment, passed its n d
reading in the House, Friday aft
ernoon. Should it pass the House,
it will still have to be approved
by the Senate.
If adopted, it would become ef-
fective April 1, 1943.
In addition to cutting war con-
Z; struction here, Representative Ker-
mon said the measure would have
the effect of curtailing Federal ap-
preparations for projects over the
state.
He said, however, that the meas
ure would not affect municipal and
county sponsored projects such as
the city's waterworks program
here.
Representative John Umpstead,
of Orange, spoke in favor of re.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90 R -
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
tonight directed the rationing of
dry edible beans, dried peas, len
ills and dehydrated and dried
soups along with the processe and
canned vegetables and fruits to
be rationed beginning March l.
These foods were added to the
ration list, Wickard said, because
of "extremely heavy demands, by
the American armed forces and
the Russian army

Wickard, the food administrator,
said supplies of beans, peas, len
ills and dried soups had dwindled
considerably in recent weeks be-
cause of short supplies of meats
and other high protein foods. Con-
sumers turned to these vegetables
as meat substitutes.
These commodities will be ra-
toned under the new point-system
ration books to be distributed next
week. The point values will be

Victory Gardeners Urged to Prepare Plots
On Dry-Furming Busis Due to Water Needs

Washington Is likely to expert
ence water shortage this summer
if Victory gardeners depend upon
irrigation to keep their gardens
going, Humphrey Beckett, superin-
tendent of water supply. said today.
1t may be necessary to issue
orders curtailing use of water for
lawns and gardens. he said. and
gardeners should prepare their plots
on dry-farming basis
This is the best method of garden
ing in any case, according to Wilbur
H. Youngman, garden editor Of The
Star. There is no great trick to it.
All it calls for is proper preparation
Of the plot and constant cultivation,
or ground breaking during the grow
ing season.
Water flows off unbroken ground
and most of the benefit of rain is
lost. Plots should be plowed deep
enough to allow the water to soak
down below the depth where it Is
quickly evaporated by sunshine. If
the plot is prepared with a spade,
tne eartn ShOuld be removed and
then broken below with a spading
fork. Most -the-wool gar
deners are proud of their double
spading technique.
Sufficient plant food in the form
OF humus or fertilizer is another
necessity in "dry-farming Vege-
tation in enriched soil will not
wither in short dry spell.
The District water situation Is
this. Mr.. Beckett explained: While
Washington has an unlimited supply
Of raw material" water from the
Potomac at Great Falls. the clear,
steriliZed drinkable water that flows
from every tap is a manufactured
product, and there are limitations to
the city's manufacturing capacity in
this respect.

Sound Doctrine

The recent week-long visit of MIR. William
Pickens representing the United States Treas
ury Department. to Fort Huachuca, merits at
tention and comment Because of his long as
sociation with what may be called the more
militant group in Negro leadership, his words
are usually listened to with more than casual in
terest, particularly when he uses as his general
topic The Negro Stake in the War. as he
did here in his talks to soldiers and civilians
at the Service Clubs, in the theatres, and in
company messes.
Speaking particularly in the interest of the
sale of War Bonds to Negroes. Mr.. Pickens en-
deavoEs primarily, in his own words, to sell
America" And the doctrine that he pro-
pounds is sound, irrespective of the group to
which it is addressed This is our country"
he breaches. 1t is by no means a perfect
country; but the very fact that | can stand here
and say, openly and without fear, that it is i'm
perfect is an indication of its greatness. 1t
needs to be improved in many respects, some
of which touch our lives closely. But in order
to improve it must help to keep it, as we
have, gloriously, in the past whenever it was
threatened. 1t is worth living in, investing in,
fighting for and dying for, so that the struggle
of the individual, in free United States, may
go and until the last indignity is lifted
from the back of the last man..
Sound doctrine.
