Howard County Goes
Us One Better!

During the past year or two
we have really had some tall
tales about eggs, and we usually
ended by saying "Can you beat
this?" Here is a story we read
in the ElIicOtt City Times last
week which sounds unbeatable:
"Mrs. John Bearth of Lisbon
writes: Il have a pullet hatched
March IL. She started to lay
on August 7 and her first egg
was a double yolk. She lays
every day and every other day
the egg has two yolks, then on
Saturday, August 10 the egg
contained three yolks.
"The best part about all this" "
Mrs. Bearth continues, is that
the hen doesn't eat 81 laying
mash, but only corn, a little
wheat, green grass and plenty
of water"

/ Might Be
Wrong
P. G. STROMBERG

IN THE MOOD of exhiliration
= in which we find ourselves
today as a result of the breath
taking news from France it is
next to impossible to keep ones
thoughts riveted on any partic-
ular event. Official news IS
almost too good to be true and
yet we know that our news is
several days be-
Reversed hind the actual
Blitzkrieg events. 1t can't
In France help but lead us
to wonder where
our forces might be now. Still
there is no question but that
the enemy might be served If
our official news gave him more
information than he can secure
for himself.
One fact about the reversed
blitzkrieg in France is the amaz-
ing Job of supply. This display
Of efficiency is even more I'M
pressive than the fast pace set
by the troops. Keeping arms
and ammunition, food and sup
plies of all kinds, replacements,
first aid and medical attention
constantly within reach OF this
fastsmoving army is almost in
conceivable. And it all had
to be planned and provided for
well in advance. It is almost
miracle. We have marveled at
the efficiency displayed by the
Russian fighting machine but
our own accomplishment even
outshadows theirs.
Another thought which enters
the minds of all who have given
it any consideration is about the
strength of the Siegfried Line.
Have we or will we be able to pass
through or around the German
protective setup
Our Troops as we h "a We
Are Heading through France!
For Berlin And if General
Patton has led
his army through the Siegfried
Line how much resistance will
be offered in Germany? If re-
sistance within German borders
is no greater than in the final
advances in France how long be-
fore our troops will enter Ber-
lin?
With conditions as they are
in Germany who is there-other
than Hitler-who can ask for an
armistice on the unconditional
terms? 1t looks as though the
American, British and Russian
armies will have to occupy all OF
Germany and set up a form OF
government just as will be the
case in the satellite countries.
It also begins to appear as
though the Nazis (who must
recognize imminent defeat) are
doing their utmost to hold back
the Russians while retreating
before the American and Brit
ish at a record-breaking pace.
It seems reasonable to assume,
as has been pointed out in this
column before, that Hitler and
his associates as well as the
German people themselves would
much prefer to
Day OF avoid being over

that the Russians are bent on

BY the Associated Press,
WITH AMERICAN FORCES IN
CHERBOURG, June a. Nobody
paid any attention to Louis, a
sharp-eyed French youngster, q
years old, as he walked along the
streets of Cherbourg yesterday
while his countrymen and the
doughboys were celebrating the fall
of the city.
The story of Louis was one of the
little tragedies smothered under the
jubilation Of thousands who saw the
invaders driven from their city. And
his heart was one great ache while
the others cheered and waved flags.
Louis is q patriot. He Joined an
American unit several days ago and
led them across fields and hedge
rows where he knew no Germans
lurked. He guided them across
country he knew and he and his
doughboy friends were among the
first into Cherbourg.
That made Louis very happy. And
then he hurried to his home to tell
his mother what he had done. But
he found his mother had died few
hours before - struck by = shel
fragment.
