them might make some Of US
appreciate our lot better.
Missionary Catherine Funk
explains that the Christmas
packages took four months to
arrive at Yuanling, in Human
Province (which was very good
time considering that air mail
letters take two months :.
She writes: 1--WE are deeply
grateful for the nice variety of
useful and pretty articles
hankies, soap and ribbons, en-
broidery thread and darning
cotton, etc, and especially our
country's flag and the hair bows,
which were Immediately used to
put on a display. The flag and
the hair bows touched our
hearts. -. they were just like
home"
Missionary Katherine Zierdt
writes: THE cake of Palm
olive soap was much appreci-
ated. You might be interested
to know that the Palmolive
soap, made by a Chinese firm
and sold here in Yuanling,
costs the equivalent of $40
American money per cake. 1t
staggers one to think of the
cost of taking a bath! We use
inferior, cheaper SOAP"
Elsewhere in her letter, Mis-
sionary Zierdt writes: Recent
ly we have been sent some
wounded Chinese soldiers from
the battle lines around Tung
Ting Lake and the Yangtze riv-
er. Some are quite pitiful. One
boy had only one leg, one arm,
and the foot missing from his
good leg. When he was told that
he would be raised to a higher
rank he just said 4 don't want
to be promoted. l just want my
arm and leg and feet. He
died anyway"
1--WE have another interest
ing patient just now. A
Chinese woman gave birth to
a child which died and al
most lost her own life in the
childbirth. The mother fran
tically asked to see the baby
and was in no condition to be
told the child was dead. So
her sister-in-law hunted all
over town till she found a ba-
by boy that could be bought
at high price and
1t was presented to the mother
as her own. The chief draw
back was the baby was three
or four months old and to
most persons did not look like
a newborn infant. But
the parents are both very
happy about 1t and believe the
child is theirs"
The missionary concludes her
missive. "We trust the Jap
anese will be too busy else
where to drive further into
Human Province than they are at
present

have been. Think Of the sacrifice he made:
Can y@ in all decency, say thatyou cant afford:
an extra War Bond nov-when your country calls
on you to do your all to help hasten the knockout
blow?
Weknow you won't fail America now. We know
you'll come through-as you have in every other
War Loan Drive-and INVEST IN AT LEAST ONE
EXTRA HUNDRED DOLLAR BOND today. That's
the least you can do. You should do more, if you
can. Invest 5000, $500, $4oo-as much as pos
sible. Remember, hundred dollar Series War
Bond costs only seventy-hve dollars. You get back
$500 at mamritwfor every $500 you put up.
So.: let's do it the American way! Let's invest
proudly of our own free will to put this 18th War
Loan Drive over the top. Get that extra hundred
dollar Bond today at your bank. Or tell your en-
ployer take it out of your salary. Help the COM

And You say you Can't Afford
an Extra War Bond I?

HEY say that after while we become callous
to death and suffering.
They say that in wartime people cannot under
stand the little hearaches and tragedies that touch
individual lives. For when death and destruction
occur on mass scale, what happened to this one
American soldier may not mean so much to you.
But to his parents and to girl back home, his
death means the end of everything
1t means the end of bis dreams of a happy home,
family, future...
That's war the damnable hell of war; Still,
there's a job to be done, and it IS being done by
heroes like this boy. Heroes who fight and die that
we, who still enjoy safety and plenty, may look
to Victory with greater assurance today than ever
before.
Think Of this boy for just moment, please.
Think of him .. . of his family -. of what might

WALLACE URGES
 AID FOR CHINA
Vice.President Asks for New DeaI' No Comment
 on Future Plans
BY WILLARD D. EBERHART limited Preaa Staff COPresnOndent


 Seattle, Wash, July l0- (UP)-- Vice President Henry A. Wallace told the nation of his wonderful trip to China in c 20-minute radio address yesterday, but remained as silent as his chief in the White House on the possibility of his re- nomination at the Democratic na- tional convention at Chicago next week.
 The Vice President recommended Q new deal" for China in his talk and then hopped off for Washing ton in an army transport to make a factual report of his trip to Presi- dent Roosevelt. He was scheduled to see the President tomorrow.
 Obviously tired from his Journey, Wallace, who arrived here from Great Falls, Mont, hatless and wearing a rumpled blue suit, merely smiled when reporters asked him if he would seek the vice. presidential nominaton.
 However, 1t was learned reliably that he has made no plans to at- tend the Democratic conclave, thus leaving the matter of his renomina- ton up to President Roosevelt.
 Wallace predicted in his address that the United States was entering into the "era of the Pacific, dur ing which there will be closer col- Liberation between this country and the new world of the northern Pacific and eastern Asia" and said that China, lacking the materials and training to enter the machine age, needed "a break-a new deal"
 Those who say that the east is east and the west Is west and that the two shall never meet are wrong,' he said, adding that the east of Asia lis on the move in a way which is easy for any American to under stand who sees these great areas at first hand for himself"
 Wallace said he was convinced that China and Russia would take the necessary steps to ensure con- tiIiuing peace and to promote cul- tural and commercial exchanges among the nations of the Pacific to the benefit of all"
 He sad he found the leaders of both Soviet Asia and China anxious flor the most friendly relationship with the United States and express ing the utmost confidence in the leadership of President Roosevelt"
 Any naturalization of China must be based on agricultural re- construction-'Agrarian reform-be- cause China is predominantly na- ton of farmers he added.
 Wallace painted vivid picture of the expansion of industry and agri- culture in China and Soviet Asia, with the aid of U. s. lend-lease, and said that everywhere he went in eastern Asia he found rapid changes.
