Stop Erosion At It's Start
NEARLY every intelligent tiller

N EARLY every intelligent tiller
of the soil appreciates the inn
portance of the fight against
erosion. 1t is gratifying that a
number of our farmers have taken
progressive measures to prevent
surface water from washing away
the valuable top-soil upon which
fertility depends.
Nevertheless, there are many
signs of damage from erosion and
it is perhaps well to urge all those
connected with agriculture in this
county to be alert in the battle
against the forces of nature,
whether they arise from surface
drainage on the farm itself or
from flood waters Of surrounding
streams.
1t would be a good idea for
every agriculturist to make care
full inspection Of his holdings for
the purpose of spotting the small
washes that will become gulTies
and in time rob the land of its
strength. A little precaution, at
the right time, will save heavy
loss in fertile soil and avoid more
extensive efforts later on.

Ten Years Or More
THE OCCUPATION of German

THE OCCUPATION of Germany
win probably last ten years
or more, according to General JOS
eph G. McNarney, now command
ing American forces in Europe.
General McNarney thinks that
there is the probability that the
occupation will be much longer in
order to give the Germans time
to establish themselves along
democratic lines and to perfect a
self-supporting economic program.
He also favors a plan to permit
families to join those in the forces
Of occupation as soon as possible
but he frankly admits that this
can hardly be done during the
present winter, ea as,
In the meantime, he continues
the denazification policy set up by
General Eisenhower, emphasizing
that "the German people must
realize that they are responsible
and that their debt has not been
paid.

Golden Wedding Advice
TN THIS DAY Of increasing ii

In THIS DAY Of increasing di-
vorce, it is interesting to read
. news story from Long Beach,
California; telling of the three
Bork sisters, Loretta, Ida and
Lucy, who married in triple cere-
mony fifty years ago.
The three couples got together
Tor the first time in forty-five
years recently to celebrate their
triple golden wedding.
This item may be encouraging
70 some of the young couples who
have recently undertaken the Jour
ney Of life. If, at the end of fifty
years they are fortunate enough
20 be together, enjoying mutual
respect, esteem, and love, life will
have presented them with one of
its greatest gifts.
To attain this goal, however, ii
is necessary for husbands and
wives to recognize the right Of in
dividuals to develop distinctive
personalities and to refrain from
petty encroachments, that, in time,
make life disagreeable, whether in
the home of elsewhere.

Courage Explains Empire


"A
the war premier of France,
gives testimony to the courage Of
Winston Churchill and largely ex-
plains why the British Empire has
been able to endure for so long.
It the latter part of May, 1910,
when "the position of our encir-
cied armies was already very seri-
GUS" the entry Of Italy into the
war was expected and military adj
visers thought it would be fatal.
Under the circumstances, the
French thought it advisable to con-
slider making certain concessions
ito, satisfy Italian vanity" and keep
Italy out>of the war. Mr.. Church
i'll, according to Premier Reynaud,
was hostile ito any concessions"
and subsequently telegraphed to
Paris: II am convinced that our
real security rests on our fighting
capacity,
Subsequently, when conditions
became more threatening to the
armies Of France, the French Gov
eminent again considered conces-
sions to Rome. The proposal was
telegraphed to London and, in re-
ply, the British Government re-
vealed that it would not oppose
submission of the proposal to
Italy if the French felt they had
come to such a pass, but the Brit
ish Government refused ito be
associated with it in any shape or
form" and expressed the opinion
that the offer would only stimulate
the italian Government by reveal
ing allied distress.
Thereupon, the plan was aban-
doned.

BriIIiont
Dead at 81

ROME. Aug. . --(P1--- Pietro
Mascagni. 80, famous composer
of Cavalleria Rusticana and 9TH
or operas, died at us a. m,
today OF bronchial pneumonia
and hardening Of the arteries.
@ Mascagni died at the Plaza
Hotel where he had made his
home recently. He leaves an 81
year-old widow.
The composer had long and
brilliant career. and had reaped
a large fortune in royalties from
his operas. particularly "Caval-
leria Rusticana." which out
shone all the others in popular
ity. His most recent opera was
"Nerone, which had its pre-
miere in 1885.
He had been hit hard by the
war. however. His home was
seized by the Socialists after the
Germans were driven from
Rome. He said the Socialists had
accused him OF having been a
Fascist. When the end OF the
war came for Italy, his fortune
had vanished
Although he had conducted
operas during Mussolinis re-
gipns a few years before the
war, he said he had no interest
in politics and declared the Fas-
cists simply exploited his name.
He lost one of his sons in
Mussolini's Ethiopian war. The
other, Domenico. he said, got
tangled up with the Fascists,
and left Rome for northern It
ally before the Allied entry.
At Mascagni's bedside when
he died were his wife and daugh-
ter. Emmy, and the latter's son.
His daughter said the present
whereabouts Of his surviving
son were no known.
Mascagni achieved fame at
the age of 26, when "Cavalleria
Rusticana' won a prize compe-
tition. "Amico Fritz" and Girls"
are the best known Of his other
operas. most of which have been
virtually forgotten.
"Nerone," which he published
privately with the aid Of friends
after one Of his frequent battles
with publishers, was not sue
cess. Mascagni also quarreled
often with impressarios render
Ing his work.
The composer liked to conduct
his own operas. During the last
years of his life, weakened by
old age. he would remain seated
while conducting.

Businessmen
in France Face
Many Problems

PARIS - Wp - American
businessmen are free TO try 10
open up businesses they operat-
ed here before the war, but they
face a few major difficulties and
lot of minor annoyances -
like no place TO sleep and very
little 10 eat - commercial at
taches and American Chamber
of Commerce officials told the
United Press recently.
Business representatives re-
ceive little note from the State
Department with their passports,
warning them about life in
France. Most of them find the
warning all too we'll borne out,
according 10 William Wallace lr-
vim, chamber of commerce gem
eral secretary.
"They can't find place to
live, they have hard time get
ting a ration card so they can
eat, and then they have hard
or time finding anything good to
cat" Irwin said of the dozens of
business men who have brought
their big and little woes to him
since liberation They can t
make travel reservations and
when they do the schedules are
not kept. The logged, sturdy
ones hold out, The impatient,
hungry ones go home.
All business men coming here
are asked to check in with COM
mercial attaches at the Embassy.
Most of them do, grlnning with
triumph at having managed a
place to eat and sleep, or storm
ing with Illustration, according
to the attaches.
Sometimes they rejoice that
so-and- sos cousin gave them a
hall ROOM" one weary attache
said. Sometimes they just say
smugly that they have managed .,
Most of them have plenty OF
money and that helps anyone
manage. But the going is rough
for all of them
The Chamber OF Commerce
asked the Embassy to petition
the French for one hotel where
American businessmen could be
billeted and messed. No definite
decision has been reached on
this. Meantime the French are
demanding return of hotels al
ready used exclusively by Amer
leans.
Irwin and attaches agreed that
nobody knows exactly h o w
many men have tried 10 reopen
postwar businesses here. The
Chamber of Commerce Is cir
culating a QUESTIONABLE TO get
more detailed information.
From personal interviews, at
taches said they learned some
men have returned TO find stocks
stolen, while others have had
the GOOD luck to find every
thing almost as they left ii in
1910. One bookseller reported 30
per cent of his stock looted by
the Germans. Many banks are
dispensing service at loss just
TO keep their names before the
public.
Attaches pointed out that
among major difficulties is the
fact that there is no free trade
between France and the United
States, the French government
doing all the purchasing of inn
ports. Irwin pointed out the
French need a lot of things
America could sell, but thought
il unlikely trade would be brisk
for some time to come.

There have been many usets in

Levin attributes his success to
lucky token, copper cent, which
his mother had sewed in his trunks
in his first amateur match. 1t
was after victory in his initial bout
that she told him what she had
done-and ever since, including the
night he defeated Ali Bahia, he has

the good-luck charm has served
it's purpose and he intends to have
it made into a ring, which he will

That the advocates of basketball

That, judging by the way play

service, the guy who said team
would wind up in the first division
but didn't know whether it was
the Army or the National League
wasn't fooling.
That Joe Louis has crowned his
