You must procure medical
certificates before YOU can OBJ
tain license To marry. 4 Justice

Many more Jap planes were
again shot down.
Only casualty we had was one
plane cracked up on the take-off.
He tried to take off so fast he
misjudged the runway, hit a hole,
couldn't gain enough altitude and
ran into a clump of jungle sidewise.
The plane was a total wreck,
and the pilot was seriously injured.
Hope he pulls through.
The plane went down only few
yards from me, as my gun en-

Home Garden Can Add to
b. Rationed Food Supply

The family that has been growing
Hts own garden can continue to pro-
vide good share of its own food
without regard to the rationing OF
canned goods and other products.
The family that has not grown a
garden but has the spare time, the
land and the desire to grow some
of its own food can also contribute
to its own food supply in 1913.
! Winter is a good time to plan the
garden to be ready for the first days
of spring planting, to get seeds and
tools, and to get plans for blowing
ready well ahead of time.
A plan on paper saves time when
the grower is ready to plant. The
plan may be detailed map of the
garden drawn to scale, or it may
be merely list of the crops that
are to be grown, the number of feet
of row Of each one, and the prob
able planting date for each.
! ,Small-growing crops such as car
riots, beets, lettuce and radishes
should be grouped on one side OF
the garden away from the large
growing crops such as cabbage, corn
and tomatoes. Perennial crops such
as asparagus, rhubarb and berries
should be at one side of the garden
also, where they will not be disturbed
by blowing.

Argentine Oil Output
Grows: Aids Industries

Argentina's growing oil production
now provides bulwark OF economic
strength, helping to sustain It's IN
dustries and transportation system
In the face of wartime difficulties
Of importing fuel from overseas
sources.
The nation is now filling almost
half Of its present petroleum require
ments from its own wells. The value
of this oil to Argentine industry has
increased because Of the shrinkage
in imports Of coal.
Like other countries OF South
America, Argentina has been de-
pendent on outside sources for coal
and some of its oil. Unlike Brazil,
however, Argentina has an oil pro-
duction that has been increasing
steadily for more than 20 years.
Argentina, second in area and pop
ulation and first in per capita
wealth among the 10 South American
republics, stands ninth among the
oil-producing nations Of the world.
The countries exceeding Argentina
in the order of volume Of production
are the United States, Venezuela, the
Soviet Union, Iran, the Netherlands
East Indies (prior to Japanese IN
vasion, Rumania, Mexico and
Colombia.
