THAT'S ABOUT THE WAY oul
| forefathers did it. Maybe a large
part of what is wrong with this
country is that we're afraid to "suf
fer the cold" for a little while
We'd rather be warm now and suf
fer later. Or let some sucker who
has suffered and saved, take care
of us.
SPRING HAS OFFICIALLY AR
RIVED, according to tie calen-
dar and also signs rigEt here in
Coolidge. The ants and the cock
reaches are here now, always a
certain indication that warm wealth
er is at hand. That goes for the
flies, too, which are congregating.
These are better signs that winter
is over than are any calendar dates.

ANT: Waiter-Pardon me, but
I've forgotten what you ordered
Would you mind telling me again
Patron: I've forgotten too-it was
so long ago that l told you.
WE HEARD A PERSON SAY in
rather triumphant voice the other
day that he never meddled in poll
tics, that he didn't care how the
matter of incorporation came out
that he never voted, that whatever
happened was all right with him.
Yet, in five minutes, we listened
to more complaints about how
things are managed than we could
have thought up ourselves. Some
how, we don't have great deal OF
use for that type of thought pro-
cess. That kind of person is al
ways the one who sits back and
lets the other fellow do the fight

benefits.
THE DOG IN THE MANGER
thought came to us the other day
as we watched our terrier refuse
to eat the food in its dish. We
walked to the door, called in the
cat and Immediately the dog fell
to with great gusto. Now, when
ever the pooch refuses to eat, al
we have to do is call the cat and
tie dish is as good as emptied
The stuff may kill the dog, but
darned if she'll let the cat have it

National Milk Goal
In 1914 Increased
Because Of Demands

Due to demands from all con-
sumers-soldiers civilians, Allies
for dairy products, the national
goal for milk in 1914 has been in
creased two per cent, according to
]. R. Storey, chairman of the Pinal
county AAA committee.
1t takes one and one-half quarts
of milk a day to supply the daily
ration of the average man in uni
form for butter, cheese, evaporat-
ed and fluid milk. Over a years
time, this demand requires approx
imately the full-tfme production of
one cow for every four men. Mill
tary requirements for evaporated
milk in 1914 are &c per cent above
1943.
Civilians are consuming one
fourth again as much as they did
before the war. With greater pur-
chasing power and with shortages
of many other popular foods, their
demands for milk are greater than
the supply which can be fairly al
located to them. However, there
will be enough milk for civilians in
1914 to take care of their essen
tial dietary needs.
For our Allies, dried milk and
Cheddar cheese carry more bal
anced food value per unit of ship
ping space than any other food.
In Russian cities, milk is given only
to children under six years of age.
Less than one-twentieth of our to-
tai butter supply is scheduled for
Lend-Lease shipments this year.
The minimum needs for U. S. dairy
products in liberated areas cannot
be estimated, but it is safe to as
sumo that the needs Of these peo-
pie will be increasing.
Mr. Storey stated that milk pro-
duction is an all-out job for every
county in every state and that the
announced policy Of the War Food
Administration is to give prefer
ence in the use of feed to the pro-
duction of milk and eggs

American Cities
Urged to Act
Housing Problems
Call for Attention

American cities, as centers of
democracy, should start moving
to clear the ground for a broad
attack on their housing problems
in the postwar era Administrators
John B. Blandford Jr. of the Ma
tional Housing Agency, told the
annual convention of the Ameri-
can Municipal Association in
Chicago.
Housing holds a central place
in almost all plans for building a
better and more productive Amer
lea after the war, Blandford de-
clared in putting forward pro-
gram of action for housing"
Such a program. he stressed, is
fundamentally one to be carried
out by cities with only supplement
tary federal help to the extent
that cities need it and want it."
While he said federal action is
called for in "unwinding' the war
housing program and aiding re-
conversion to peacetime home
building, Blandford defined sew
eral fields in which local commit
mites can and must act on their
own initiative if successful
postwar housing effort is to be
achieved.
The closest possible co-opera'
ton between cities and the MIA
will be needed in working out the
disposition of federally-owned war

NOT DETRIMENTAL

Coke trees are not detrimental
to the heating plant; they are not
a sign of bad coal or a poorly
designed stoker, but are a normal
part of stoker operation.
We recommend not disturbing
the stoker fire, except 10 remove
clinkers, and doing this only when
the depth of the fuel bed indicates
that there is a considerable ac-
emulation.
The average stoker owner can
learn to Judge this for himself.

COKE OR CLINKERse

Every new stoker owner should
learn 10 distinguish between coke,
which is light, porous and usually
grayish in color with a silvery
sheen when broken open, and
clinkers which ar heavy talmost
iron-like in composition) and
dark.
Some clinkers may have small
pieces of light ash or bone" fused
in them.
Coke or loose ashes never
should be taken out of the stoker
fireboX.
Remove only the larger pieces
of clinker.
Coke trees will sometimes form
and fall out of the hot part Of
the fire.
, These pieces of coke should be
left alone and eventually when
the demand for heat is high
enough they will be ignited and
burn.
