FIGHTING FOR
LIBERTY FOR ALL
BIZ JESSE NIMMONS

Man was created with the fac
ulty for worship and mans Creator
has the first and sole claim to that
worship. Men must have the truth
in order to worship Him in the
right and acceptable way. For this
reason the Creator has sent forth
the Truth to free the people from
the bonds of ignorance, supersti-
tion and fear that they may walk
in the path of light and life.
Where the people are by their
rulers denied access to the Truth,
the nation, or nations forget God.
The declaration of the Freedom of
Speech and Worship were uttered
from God to Moses in Mount Sinai:
"On earth for all men, goodwill. !"
Jesus Christ taught His follow
ers to pray: "Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, in earth as it is
in heaven" Why work against
Him? His death was for all men
to become free. We cannot serve
Him and deny freedom to others.
The Freedom Of Speech to declare
the Truth cannot be separated from
the freedom to worship God. Mans
eternal life and future happiness
are wholly dependent upon God and
his relationship with man is to see
that all men are free.

further use by planting kale.

Cutting Lettuce

LEAF LETTUCE is one crop
that does not necessarily need
TO he Sown more than once a
season. If, instead of pulling the
plants for salads. they are cut
off, leaving perhaps an inch
above the ground surface, they
will continue 10 put out new
leaves which can be cut for A
second time. A little fertilizer
added when cutting Will increase
this second yield and extra
water will also help.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-09
Trench Holds Fertilizer

The second method is a bit
more work but wastes less fer
tilizer. A trench, Just a very
shallow one, perhaps two inches
deep. is made on one or both
sides of the row about four or
five inches from the stems of
the plants. not close enough 10
disturb their root systems.
The fertilizer, at the rate Of
a pound TO 30 feet of row, is
put in these trenches and either
watered in Immediately or COW
cred lightly to prevent loss to
the air.

Two Varieties Of KoIe
Grow We'll in Fall

When the leaves are large
enough 10 use. the outer ones
may be cut first and the inner
ones allowed 10 grow larger,
or the entire plant may be cut
for meal Most of the folks
who don't like kale don't know
how TO cook it. If you're look
ing for good recipe, drop me
a post card.

Can Food in q Unit

The state is recommending
that food be canned in a unit
rather than IN the home as this
is safer. Last year one city,
Sturgis. had a food bank. There.
under a committee set up by
the OCD, food was canned for
use by local institutions in
Guiding boys and girls camps.
The first necessity in setting
up a food bank is the central
clearing house whore folks hav-
Ing surplus vegetables or fruits

they have them. Next * a
central canning or storage place
10 preserve these crops.

FertIiziinq
By Rows

UNLESS an entire row or A
u large part of one has been
used, so that one can turn the
ground and fertiliZe il for a
second crop below the level Of
the ground, the only way fer
tilizer may be added TO keep
vegetables growing at full tilt

of the crop, by one of two
methods

NAVY WAVES COMPLETE TWO
YEARS OUTSTANDING SERVICE

Sunday, July 30th, markes the
Second Anniversary of the Women's
Reserve of the Navy, the WAVES.
This occasion presents an opportuni-
ty to pay tribute to these gallant
American women. In two years APP
proximately $4,000 of the country's
finest young women have volunteered
for the most important job of their
lives-serving their country in the
WAVES.
Service in the WAVES brings each
girl a change of scenery, new friend
ships, new and absorbing interests.
1t improves health, builds poise and
confidence, and gives the individual
that wonderful feel of belonging"
WAVES work hard at vital war tasks
but they keep their individuality
have plenty of chance for fun and
enjoyment with good companions.
Complete information concerning
the WAVES may be obtained, at no
obligation, at the U. S. Navy Recruit

YEAR ROUND CANNING

The Joseph Cathcart family lives
on California Mesa, near Olathe,
Colo. Last year when her canning
sugar supply was low, Mrs. Cathcart
substituted syrup and honey fol-
sweetening. During the canning sea-
son she put up 900 quarts of fruit
vegetables and meat. But she didn't
stop when the canning season ended.
Through the winter she continued to
refill jars with mincemeat, apples.
chickens and other meat. This year
Mrs. Cathcart plans to can as much
or more than last year Already she
has put up her asparagus and rhu-
barb. With so much variety in her
food storehouse, Mrs. Cathcart finds
the family health is better and there
is never any worry as to what to have
for the next meal. Through the
school year Mrs. Cathcart provides
canned food as her share of the hot
school lunches that are served at the
schoolhouse.

ROUND TWO-ON THE FOOD
FRONT

Many World War ii veterans are
now fighting the Axis a second round
on the food front this time-says
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
No longer able to serve in the armed
forces, young men have laid aside
uniforms and have doned blue den
i'm. The Farm Security Administra-
ton reports that FSA operating loans
have been made to sevearl hundred
returned servicemen who had no 9TH
er source of credit to finance food
production.
One of these is 25-year-old Daniel
Fitch of Amigo, Wis, who came
home from the South Pacific last
February, holder of the Purple Heart
the Good Conduct Medal and the
Foreign Service ribbon. Fitch served
in the Infantry exactly two years,
was promoted to corporal, survived
a transport sinking, and fought on
New Georgia Island, where he suffer
ed brain conclusion when a 155 nm
Japanese shell landed near his fox
HOI0. ne dlSO COuLTdCLeu udldTld
and was in several Army hospitals.
Army doctors recommended a CT
william occupation that would not be
too exciting, and one that would keep
Fitch outdoors. Because of noise,
they advised against any kind of fac
tory work. Fitch had done farm work
before induction, and decided to try
to rent farm. But with no capital
except his mastering out pay, he fac
ed a finance problem.
The Service officer at Amigo sug-
gested that he apply for Farm Sc
curity assistance. An FSA loan last
spring enabled him to buy Is cows,
team, harness, and seed, and Fitch
arranged to lease 70-acre farm and
a full line of machinery from his
landlord.
Besides taking care of his dairy
herd, Fitch raises oats, potatoes
corn and hay. His parents live with
him and help. Malaria is troubling
him less now, and as soon as he gets
more equity in his personal property
he proposes to start buying farm
About 80 other Wisconsin veter-
ans of the present war have received
similar FSA help.

MESSAGES TO CIVILIANS in
ENEMY-HELD LANDS HANDLED
NV RED GROSS
BY RED CROSS

More than 1000 messages per
work day between residents in Amer
lea and civilians in enemy or enemy
occupied countries were handled last
year by the Red Cross Home Service
Inquiry Unit. During the first three
months of this year 157,607 mes
sages were exchanged through the
Red Cross.
This message service and similar
service maintained by the Vatican
and the Roman Catholic Church are
the only recognized legal means of
communicating with civilians in en-
emy-held territory. Red Cross mes
sages originating in this country are
made out on forms available at all
Red Cross chapters. They are limited
to rs words and may not mention
politics, the war, business or finan-
cial matters. All messages go to Red
Cross National Headquarters, Wash
ington, ID. c., and are clea d
through the Office of Censorship.
They are then sent to the Interna-
tional Red Cross Committee in Ge-
neva, Switzerland, where they are
again censored. The International
Red Cross Committee then forwards
the messages to the Red Cross soci-
cites of the countries of destination
for delivery.
The average time required to get
an answer to q message to Europe
is nine months. Delivery is often de-
layed because of deportation, shift
ing population, and other upheavals
resulting from war, but every pos
sible effort is made to get the mes
sage through. AS already stated, this
service is available through all Red
Cross chapters and has been used by
many pesons in rural areas of the
United States who have relatives in
the old country.
