MORE FUN

There seems to be n new game
in Troy. 1t must be fun, 30 many
people are taking part in it, or at
least the same ones do it SO often.
It's very simple--all you need is
a car and few empty bo.les. Just
ride around and throw the bottles
at the curbs. OF course .onetim $
you miss, but most of the time they
break with a fine shower of glass.
right on the curb where so ne one is
sure to park car, and if you man
age to find spot in the middle Of
the block where there are no street
lights SO much the better.
The men that have to 60 to work
early, first must inspect the street
to be sure they don't cut tire, then
get out the broom and sweep b
broken glass. This will no doubt
make our city cleaner, no matter If
they are late for work. The lost
hour or SO can't be too important,
and soon lots Of tires will be ruined,
and most of the cars will nave to he
stored Then think of the gas we
will save It's a fine patriotic game
yes indeed!

90 Horrible
For Belief

French headquarters ii London
are responsible for a story that is
so sordid and frightful il is diff
cult to believe. The story. as told
by Time magazine, says that the cit
liens OF the town of Grad lur-sflr-
Glane, in central France, were or
dered to congregate at the fair
grounds. Every man, woman and
child, the sick, the aged and infirm,
We're forced to gather there. Where
upon the women and children were
marched into church and large
box was carried into the center oil
the church and left there. The men
were marched to a nearby barn and
shot, IN squads of twenty.
The weeping women and children
in the church did not have long tc
wait. The box in the center of the
room was a~time bomb. 1t exploded
Of some 300 women and children
eight survived. The village was COM
pletely burned. The reason given
for such barbarism was that some
German solder had been killed
while in the village The destruction
OF the village and its people was in
punishment therefor.
Later is was said the nazis were
very sorry. They had made mis-
take and had destroyed the wrong
village. The village that should have
been destroyed was Oradour sur
Varyes, Is miles away.
II this and similar stories that are
coming out of Europe are true, nc
punishment is too severe to mete out
to the guilty ones. If that is Their
conception Of warfare, nothing toe
drastic can be done if it will insure
that those responsible for such out
RACES shall never again have power
to wage war. But one wonders a
these atrocity stories. They're jus
too horrible to be believed.

No Excuse
For Wasting

While in Libby Friday Congress-
man Mansfield said that if q sound
dollar is to be maintained the huge
spending by the government must
eventually stop. But, he added, it is
almost impossible to eurtail that
spending during war time.
There is not much difference of
opinion on that point Everyone
agrees that wars are expensive and
that they must be Won But there
is great difference between the
wise use and the unWise use Of
money, between efficient and in
efficient handling of government af-
fairs. Just because the nation is at
war Is no good reason why dollars
should be scattered around as reck-
lessly as drunken sailor souanders
his earnings.
As an example.
A man who had held govern
ment position but who had given
it up was recently in Libby. He
said he'd wager the government had
spent at least $40 in kilograms to
him trying to get him to recall his
resignation. And there IS not the
slightest reason why should re-
main on that job he said. Those
who are left in the office can easily
do all the work did, he explained.
Just another example of over stated
bureaucratic set-ups.
No, there is no desire to curtail
needed war expenditures. But war
is no excuse for wasting Of the
peoples money.

Wheat Dollars
For War Bonds

For the third successive season
wheat farmers Of the Great Plains
are reaping bumper crop and
more dollars are pouring from the
combine spouts than ever before
in history
From the high plains Of the Tex
as Panhandle northward through
Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and
on into the Dakotas and Montana
the golden harvest, this miracle
wheat crop, will siphon Jackpot
OF a billion and a half dollars into
the pockets of the growers. This
amazing billion-bushel crop is bring
ing an average of $1.45 per bushel
far cry from the big yield of 1881
when the price went as low as Is
cents.
Wheat farmers will use this mon
ey for four things:
l.. Pay debts.
2. Buy more land.
3. Make investments.
4. Purchase consumer goods.
After two record crops at top
prices, however, the farmers have
just about liquidated their indebt-
edness. Land is hard to get and land
speculation Is boosting land prices.
That leaves investments, and the
best Investment in the world today
is War Bonds. This huge wheat crop
is going to be 6 big factor in win
ming the war, for after all food is a

The Wake Of
Democracy

Alter having reported HepuDllcan
and Democratic national conven-
tons for "a years, Paul Mallon, not
ed columnist. has finally become
discouraged. He voiced that dis
couragement in his column in re-
porting the late Democratic conven-
ton in Chicago
Mallon said that during those "a
years he had watched the farce and
conniving. the crookedness, the sell
fishness and trading that 60 on at
the average national party conven-
ton but had heretofore believed that
out of all that turmoil and sad mix
ture of contending forces there
eventually emerged a true express
sion of the will of the people. But
he is now beginning to think other
wise.
One thing that discouraged NAL
Ion was to see the convention con-
trolled SO completely by such men
as Boss Hague of New Jersey, Boss
Kelly Of Chicago, communistically
tainted Sidney Hillman of the c. l.
O., and other men of that ilk. The
convention gives voice to high and
noble ideals and it is controlled by
men whose record is largely one Of
political graft and corruption. All
this led the discouraged Mallon to
remark-after sitting and watching
the Democratic convention-that he
could not help but feel he had been
present at the wake of democracy
We hope Mallon is wrong. But
there IS much to sober one who
watches dispassionately the present
trend of events Democracy as VIZ
have known it is largely deae
throughout the world. Here il
America it is beginning to figh
for its life. Capitalization of power
in the hands of powerful fedora
government is taking place rapidly
More and more power is being
seized by the federal government
More and more the common citizen:
are being told what they shall do
where they shall work, what they
shall be paid, what the business mar
can buy and sell, how much thu
employer shall pay those who work
for him, how much profit he shall
make, the farmer what he shall
sow and reap and what he shall
be paid for what he produces. A
vast bureaucracy of men doing use
less things are running over the
country eating up the substance Of
the men and women who do work
And the end is not yet.

most vital weapon and this wheat
crop is big break for the United
Nations war effort. So the wheat
farmer is already helping to win
the war.
Why not, however, help more, and
at the same time help yourself by
taking advantage Of War Bonds as
the best investment in the world.
War Bonds are the one big OPP
portunity for wheat farmers today.

The proposed law would pro-

Wayne County and its muni-
