tro will devote no time in the future
to organizations which bring forth
nothing but talk. have no concrete

he announced from his pulpit Sun

IN the past I've wasted hours

Gus organizations, clubs and groups
talk endlessly of schemes tC make

of making a better world. The world
Is already made. God made it. 1t Is
beautiful and wonderful.
What We need is genuinely bet

Many individuals hide themselves

EXPECT RECOVERY
OF MUCH CAS-, "A
OPA TO Enforce. Rule For Re-
turn Of Unused Coupons
When Car Is Sold

Recovery of 100000 gallons of
gasoline a year to the benefit of
Montana citizens is anticipated by
the state office of price admiristra-
ton through enforcement of the
regulations requiring the return Of
outstanding gasoline rations at the
time of transfer OF motor vehicles.
Since Jan. l, 1914, persons SELL
ing new Cr usei vehicles, whether
a dealer or a private individual,
must return to the WPR board all
unused ration coupons issued for
vehicles. The office of the regis
trar of mOtcr vehicles has informed
the OPA that in Montana 100 vrh-
icles are transferred daily.
OPA officials estimate the aver
age vehicle has 100 gallons Of
coupons outstanding at the time Of
transfer so that 100000 gallons
of gasoline are involved in trans
fers during a yea. In spite of the
provisions of the rations, the major
ity of the outstanding coupons has
not been returned to boards, OPA
This week all MPR boards and
%treasurers of the state are
comforting to discuss enforcement
Of the regulations. The regulations
provide that upon receipt of unused
ration coupons, WPR board issue in
duplicate a "receipt for surrend-
cred gasoline rations," which the
seller gives to the purchaser, along
with the tire inspection record. The
ouyer must have this receipt in
order to accompany his application

ion for transfer of title to the

Stamped Air Mail
Envelopes May Be
Scarce For While

Employees at the Laurel post
office say that in the Postal Bulle-
tin of Nov. 80, postmasters were
advised of a critical condition exist
ing with respect to securing suf-
ficient quantities of 7-cent air mail
embossed, stamped envelopes to
meet the requirements of armed
forces overseas.
GAS a result" the Bulletin said,
"there will be a considerable delay
in filling postmasters' acquisitions,
which cannot be given attention
until after army postoffices have
been supplied.
"In the meantime, patrons should
be encouraged to cooperate by using
lightweight air mail envelopes"
Overseas air mail requires 6 cents
per half ounce or fraction thereof.
Mail to army or navy personnel
cannot be sent postage due, but
must be returned to the sender for
more postage. The postoffice says,
eff your letters seem heavy, be sure
to weigh them so they will not be
delayed"

Agricultural Relics A eIntereSting

In early American history it was
often necessary for the Yankees to
use materials at hand for fashioning
many of the implements of agricul-
ture. An example is displayed this
week at the Laurel Trading com.
pany by Carl Perry, who returned
to Laurel recently from Pennsyl-
vania where he had spent several
years. The implement is a hay
fork made entirely of wood that has
been in use more than 100 years.
Perry brought it from the farm
he occupied in Pennsylvania, and
with it a fail that once was COM
monty used in threshing grain.
After seeing the awkward imple-
ment in action, one concludes that
the figurative use of the noun fail
means a terrific beating.

SPEAKS ON
FOOD AND PEACE
Koch, Machinery Company
Manager, Addresses ROtarians
On BIOtting Out Of Want

Food in War and Peace" was
the topic discussed Tuesday by w.
F. Koch, Billings manager for In
ternational Harvester company, at
a meeting of the Laurel Rotary
club. Scarcity Of food was regard
ed by the speaker as the cause of
many political and social ills.
1t has been only in comparative
ly recent years thai man has escap-
ed starvation, Koch said. During
nearly all his time on earth he has
been constantly threatened by food
shortages and famines. Until re-
Gently every individual had to pro-
vide for himself as a game hunter
or raiser of hand-cultivated crops.
Mechanics turned the tide. James
Watt, a Scotch inventor who was
born in 1876 and died i'm 1919, tink-
cred with a crude ~cOntraptiOn and
gave the world the steam engine.
That was the beginning Of mobile
IS well as stationary power from
artificial means. Others contribut-
ed, a notable being Cyrus McCor-
mick, a southern farm boy who
built and operated the first reaper
more than 100 years ago. The era
of the cotton gin, steamboat and
railroad which freed mar from the
bondage of locality was turned to
free him from hunger. Refinements
on the original inventors ideas came
to the place a few generations ago
when the question was no longer
whether enough food could be pro-
duced, but rather how much is
wanted?
Koch expressed the opinion that
maladjustment of food supplies here
and abroad had contributed to the
worlds unrest and unhappiness. He
viewed the problem as one requiring
the most careful attention in the
postwar period. And while food
and full stomachs alone are no
guarantee of world peace, Koch said
a world that is no longer hungry
has a better chance to become a
peaceful world.
His address was in harmony with
a general theme pertaining to con-
ditions prevailing after: the close
of the war, which the club has been
considering in its programs of the
past month.
The speaker was introduced by
Paul Void, January program COM
nitteeman.
