ed as ranch hand. He is %, and
unmarried.
He worked a long time around
Twin Falls, Idaho, and then lat
err down in Nevada. Like so many
cowboys, he made the rodeos in
season. He was never a star or
anything. Usually he just rode the
nrencs out of the chute for pay
$3.50 a ride. Once he did win fine
saddle. He has ridden at Cheyenne
and the other big rodeos.
Like any cowboy, he loves ami
mails. Here in Italy one afternoon
Buck and some other boys were
pinned down inside a one-room
stone shed by terrific German
shellfire. AS they sat there,
frightened mule came charging
through the door. There simply
wasn't room inside for men and
mule both. so Buck got up and
shooed him out the door. Thirty
feet from the door a direct hit
killed the mule. Buck has always
felt guilty about it.
Another time Buck ran onto a
mule that was down and crying
in pain from bad shell wound.
Buck took his As and put bull
let through it's head. Il wouldn't
have shot him except he was

Buck Eversole has the Purple
Heart and two Silver Stars for
bravery. He is cold and deliberate
in battle. His commanders de-
pend more on him than any other
man. He has been wounded once,
and had countless narrow escapes.
He has killed many Germans.
He is the kind of man you in
stinctively feel safer with than
with other people. He is not help
less like most of us. He is practi-
cal. He can improvise, patch
things, fix things.
His grammar is the unschooled
grammar of the plains and the
soil. He uses profanity, but never
violently. Even in the familiarity
Of his own group his voice is al
ways low. He is such confirm

Liberty Street." by I. V. Morris

(Harpers; $3.50.
I think I. V. Morris Liberty
Street would have been almost a
perfect novel of it's kind if MIR.
Morris had been able to stand a
little farther away from the prob
lem he has taken for his text. This
is our treatment of refugees, and
the State Department attitude to-
ward them, which Mr., Morris
thinks is pretty scurvy.
The novel is set in an imaginary
Central American capital. There a
kind of refugee transfer station
has grown up, with the United
States Minister, one Mr.. Harring-
ton, coldly sticking by the letter
of the law not from respect for it,
but because he draws kind OF
sadistic pleasure from bullying
what he considers the wrong sort
- the sad, often hopeless men and
women who want only safety and
a little food. It is doubtless true
that there are many Harringtons
in the diplomatic services of the
world.
Still, it is possible to make the
good too deserving, and to ignore
the bad. With one exception, Mr.
Morris refugees are worth his
sympathy; he shows the reverse

Cost Of Rearing Children

Economists have long pointed out that in
creases in earnings often do not encourage
saving but on the contrary, merely create
greater spending. With the need for rigid
economy removed, many persons forget the
lessons in thrift they have been compelled
to learn in their years of small earnings
and often start wasting like sailor on shore
leave. It is bad habit but widely practiced
An example of the American tendancy to
spend money above the actual need is af-
forded in the difference in cost of rearing
children. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany has just issued bulletin, based on sur
veys carried out by its statisticians. Their
calculations stem from prewar income figures
They may not be accurate now in these days
of confiscatory taxes but point the argument
offered above.
The bulletin shows that in families with
annual incomes ranging from S. 900 to $40, coo
the average cost of rearing a child from birth
to the age of eighteen is $40, 7S5, or more than
double the corresponding figure of $9,862 in
families of the $500 income group.
Comparing some of the separate items in
the cost of raising children in the two income
classesa the statisticians show that the high
err costs actually start with a childs' birth,
for in families with $5,0OO-$10,0 900 incomes,
the average cost of bringing a baby into
the world is $3.50 as compared with $500 in the
lower income group. Some of the other aver
age costs of rearing child in the higher in
come group are food, $3,628; clothing and
shelter, $7,471; education, $283 medical care,
$846.
The statsticians point out that, in the high
er income group, smaller proportion of the
total expenditures is required to feed the
growing child. At the same time, the proper
ton spent on clothing and shelter increases
slightly, while the expenditures for education,
medical care, and transportation and recre-
alton show the largest relative increases
There is no reason to think that the child
in the first mentioned income group has any
fundamental, advantage over one in the Sec
ond, provided always the parents of the lat
ter exercise sound judgement, as well as econ
omy, in feeding, training, clothing and educat-
ing their offspring and at the same time exert
a wholesome kindly discipline in the home.
1nasnuch as the people of this country face
period of drastic readjustment after this
war, when thrift will have "a vital role in
the drama Of survival, it is important that
parents in all income brackets consider well
the expenditures they make upon the rearing
OF their children. If they are extravaganza if
they spend money needless,y upon this task,
they are very liable to encourage extravagant
habits in their children at time when thrift
will be most needed.

The Sergeant wore brown
stocking cap on the back of his
mead. His eyes were piercing kind.
I noticed his hands-they were
outdoor hands, strong and rough.
Later in the afternoon I came
past his foxhole again, and we sat
and talked a little while alone.
We didn't talk about the war, but
mainly about our West, and Just

ground with sticks as we talked.
We got started that way, and in

will be candidate for a fourth term. Does
he speak with authority from the White House

England's high wartime taxes He says they re
making poor man of him, and asks that

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Robert l.. Doughton, Congressman from
North Carolina, recently celebrated his
Soth birthday. An extract from letter re-
corded on that happy occasion: ''What an
example of Christian living you have set
for the world in the Nations Capital. You
have been often in the limelight, but YOU
have held up the Light of the world and
never let it flicker. While many have used
profanity, desecrated the Sabbath, drunk
their scotch. you are still the good, old
fashion, plain sweet Christian gentleman
that you were in the mountains from
whence you came.'' g.

Plan Gardens Now

The day is approaching when shoppers will
than they can buy.
A deputy director of the Office of Distri-
button, Mr. C. W. Kitchen, told delegates at the
Food Professors convention in Chicago that
cut of 43 per cent in canned fruits and 10
per cent in canned vegetables is expected to
come before this year ends. He revealed that
a new order has already been signed which
alos for civilian use 1900, 900 cases of twelve
canned fruit items, against 3o,0O0,00o last year,
and 104 900 900 cases of fourteen kinds of
vegetables as compared with 1928. OO0 900 in the
preceding year.
The projected vegetable supply for civil
liam distribution in the coming season.
he said, will be nearly 100000 cases
less than the quantity consumed in 1941-
AZ, and nearly $4,000, 900 cases less than
the supply available during the current
season.
And increase in the 1914 pack above
the average of the past two seasons would
mean larger quantity for civilian use.
Likewise if the packs falls below average,
civilian supplies would be further re-
duced"
The new order requires Gamers to set ASIDE
for military and Lend-Lease distribution about
70 per cent of their 1942-43 average annual
production of fruits and so per cent Of the
vegetables.
Gamers will be told to set aside quota OF
Is per cent of the base pack Of canned apples,
70 per cent of peaches, 10 per cent OF fruit
cocktail, 10 per cent of pears, Sc per cent OF
lima beans, 81 per cent of corn, Al per cent OF
peas 81 per cent of tomoatoes and Ga per cent
Of tomato juice
With the war rapidly approaching its fast
est tempo and more and still more troops
leaving the country for combat service, to-
seher with the necessity of providing food for
the starving millions of Europe, that they may
recover enough strength ultimately to become
selfsupporting, the drain on the civilian popu-
lation is bound to be heavier than in any pre-
Vous emergency from any cause. The need,
then, is for the civilian population to take care
OF It's own needs for food as completely as
possible This means that every foot OF avail
able soil that can produce a crop must be
brought under cultivation, and the millions OF
people who have lived out of tin cans Tor
years must become gardeners in very earn
est.
Victory gardens will have to be increased
and scientifically tended this spring and sum-
Mer if the American people are not to 60
hungry. There is no satisfactory excuse for
putting off garden planning any longer.
