over the counter sale to persons
who live in small towns and rural
areas and who usually purchase
such goods for use in making gar

OUR FLAG

Symbol of power
And protector of right,
Made of common fabric
But signifies more than a wind blown kite
A challenger of wrong
When set to the breeze
All beneath its shadows
May live and go as they please.
Not to count wealth with Midas,
Nor to dance with Old King Cole
But to inspire us onward,
With mirth in the soul
The red says danger
The blue says pure
The white says mercy @
The staff says endure
Emblem of security
SteadfaSt and true,
All live in peace under the canopy
Of the red white and blue.
Enshrined with glory
By martyred sons above,
For its great acts of mercy
And little deeds of love.
Sailing the mighty seas
With colors all unfurled,
Echoes of liberty and freedom
It heralds to the world
Born of virtues eternal
That vie with the sun,
Garnished with victories
That brave patriots won.
The bulwark of freedom
Established by our fathers of yore,
Proclaim its purpose to the world,
Let all know we are sound to the core.
Indomitable, efficient
With power and might,
Honor it as a Babe
Of the Nazerene type.

Farm Investments
When the farmer invests his hard
earned money he should be careful
to invest it where he is certain
that his principal will be safe, is
the advice of M. L. Predmore
chief of the agricultural section
of Treasurys War Finance division
He recalls how many farmers, lur-
ed by high interest, invested to
their sorrow in speculative stocks
and bonds during the last war per-
iod. For this reason" he declares
"War Bonds are a first choice for
the investment of farm savings
They have all the resources of
America back of them. In addi-
ton, the series E War Bond pays
the highest interest rate of any
government security now avail
able"

Aboard Admiral Mitscher'S Flag ship off Tokyo, Feb. 23.--tUP) Vice Admiral March A. MitSchers carrier pilots fought through "a skyful of falling planes" today to shoot up Japanese air fields and to knock out the huge Keizuma air. craft assembly plant ill another lightning stab at the Tokyo area.
 American fighter planes met stiff air opposition east of Tokyo and south of ChOchi. In that area they hit most of the 42 enemy planes which were shot down and the lO7 destroyed on the ground.
 The ratio of planes shot out of the sky was 2 to in favor of the Americans.
 Avengers and Helldivers dropped hundreds of tons of bombs into the center of the snow W-coyered Keizuma plant, 40 miles northwest Of Tokyo. The plant turns out sub stantial percentage of the total pro- duction of Japanese combat planes.
 Pictures taken concurrently Of ti~s nearby Ota assembly plant showed that the first carrier attack on Feb. IT left the plant 90 per cent destroyed or damaged and incapable Of further production, at least for the present.

Food Stocks Plan Played

Washington, Feb. 27-UP) - Long standing Congressional grum- bling at the governments handling of food stocks erupted today into charges of scandal" and sloppy management"
 War Food Administrator Marvin Jones, while expressing doubt that there was any widespread waste or spoilage due to negligence, an- nounced that he had nevertheless asked the House Appropriations committee to ask the Federal Bu- reau oS Investigation to look into the matter.
 His announcement came after Rep John Taber, R., N. Y, charged he had evidence that the WFA was guilty of mismanagement so fla grant that it would make the Tea pot Dome scandal look like piker.
 Taber said "unsavory" evidence about the management of the Ag- riculture Department and COmmod- ity Credit Corp. AS well as the WFA was uncovered by Congressional in- VestigatorS during routine spots checks of departmental requests for appropriations.
 Taber, the ranking Republican member of the appropriations com mittee, contended that Jones was at fault because he knew some of the things which were going on and did nothing about it.
 Taber also placed some of the blame on Henry A. Wallace, forme.' Vice-president and one time Secre- tary of Agriculture, and Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard for their selection O. personnel.

Guam, Feb. 27-UP)-American carrier aircraft struck a heavy blow at Japanese aircraft production Sunday and Monday. destroying or damaging 233 aircraft and 3l ves- sels and small craft in attacks on the Tokyo area. Armiral Chester w. Nimitz reported today.
 He reported that the great Ota aircraft plant 40 miles northwest Of Tokyo now has been about 75 per cent destroyed as the result of this second raid in series of carrier- based attacks against the factory. It also has been raided by Super- fortresseS.
 Tn addition to the Ota raid, the Koizuni airplane and assembly plant was heavily damaged.
 The communique did not report damage done by the more than 200 superforts which hit Tokyo in conjunction with the carrier strike Sunday, but it was believed that their bombs which were dumped on the industrial heart of Tokyo wrought heavily destruction also.
 The carriers hit new target Monday-.the Island of HachlJo. an important warning station and air~ base ITO miles south of Tokyo.

American Mobile Forces Charge Into Rim Of Ruhr Valley Today While German Defenses Stagger
BY BOYD D. LEWIS

Paris, February 27,-UPN - Speedy American Mobile Forces charged into the rim of the Ruhr valley and the outposts of Cologne today in advances up to nine miles through the staggering Ger man defenses of the Rhine land.
 Front dispatches said the entire German battlefront west of the Rhine had broken open under the impact of 8 bold onrush by the American First and Ninth armies.
 The troops of It. Gen. Courtney H. Hodges and It. Gen. William H. Simpson were storming the Erft river line less than eight miles from Cologne. The momentum Of tho drive appeared to be swamping that last natural barrier before the Rhine.
 From Simpsons headquarters United Press Correspondent James McGlincy reported that Ninth Army pace settlers raced forward nine miles to the area northwest OF Muenchen-G Gladbach, westernmose factory city of the Ruhr, and clamped an assault arc against that stronghold with simultaneous ad. vances southeast of it.
 Shock troops were fighting 1n Rheindahhen, five miles southwest of Muenchen- -Gladbach, while thG wings of an enveloping maneuver swept around the larger city.
 Maj. Gen. L. s. Hobbs 3Cth "Old Hickory" division on the right flank of the Ninth Army overran Koen. igshoven, nine miles southeast of Muenchen- -Gladbach and 16 miles northwest of Cologne. The village is only few hundred yards from the Erft river.
 Supreme headquarters reported that the clements of the Ninth and 11th German Panzer divisions re- informed the five divisions manning the Roer river line when the Al" lies struck last Friday.
 Nazis Panicky
 The Germans show signs Of disor" ganization and panic despite the achievements, Shaef sources said.
 Capt. Ludwig Sertorius, German military commentator, admitted that the Allies had driven to the Erft river, and said the river val- ley north of Elsdorf, due west of Cologne, was scene oS an "em- bittered struggle

$50,000 For
 Curfew Lobby
lBY United Pressl

The entertainment industry rang down the curtain on after midnight drinking and amusement last night but there were still campaigns afoot today for modification of the nation wide curfeW.
 Compliance with the curfeW, which became effective last mid- night, appeared complete from coast to coast despite an overtone of grumblng from New York, Chicago and other large centers of Wee-hour gayety.
 Nightclub owners in New York met in secret session after Chi cago operators reported they would ask War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes to modify the cur few so that they can stay open un- til 2 a. m. one night week.
 No announcement was made after the New York meeting, but 1t was rumored that Diamond Horseshoe Owner Billy Rose and other owners discussed raising 8 $50,000 fund for Washington lobby.
 Representative Clare Boothe Luce R, Conn.,, joined the modification line with two suggestions. She asked that all nightclubs be allowed to open an hour later than usual and tsay open until a. m. instead of midnight.
 If that wasn't feasible, Mrs. Luce said; large cities such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Fran cisco and Detroit should be allowed

Leipzig Hit

London, Feb. 28-Lt. Gen. James H. Doolittle sent nearly 2,000 planes of his Eighth Air Force against the great rail hubs Of Leipzig and Halle ill central Germany today.
 More than HOO Flying Fortresses and Liberators crashed about 5000 southwest of Berlin, and the tons of bombs on Leipzig, 85 miles neighboring town of Halle. The rail networks of these two cities control the transport of most of central Germany.
 Upwards or 700 Mustang and Thunderbolt fighters accompanied the heavy bombers on the 18th straight day of bombing Germany in record winter offensive. The Nazi transport system has been un- der assault ever since last week when it was crippled as prelim- mary to the Allied offensive in the west.
 The record offensive against Ger many continued through the night. British Mosquito bombers crashed blockbusterS into Berlin, StokIng the fires kindled by nearly 2,000 American planes yesterday.
 Striking at the Nazi capital for the seventh straight night, swift British Mosquito bombers dropped their tWo-ton demolition bombs in- to the heart of fires still burning from the daylight attack.
 The clandeStine radio Atlantic said the highest fires ever seen in any German city" guided the night raiders to their objective. More than 5000 tons of bombs were dropped on Berlin yesterday in the heaviest daylight attack ever made on a German city.
 The Stockholm newspaper Morg- ontidningen said the American raid lasted an hour and half. Great damage" was caused to "cer- tain quarters" the dispatch said.
 The attack was aimed primarily at the north, Alexander Platz and Schheisischer stations, all within two miles of the center of Berlin and among the main bottlenecks on the supply route to the Oder river front to the east.
 Morgontidningen said the Allied raids on Germany already had so disrupted communications that the government had decreed a general reduction in bread, fat and vege- atbeI rations. The new restrictions were said to be forcing an ever-in- creasing part of the population to depend on public soup kitchens for food.
 Besides Berlin, RAF Mosquitoes last night also attacked Nuremberg, an important industrial ard rail- way city in southwest Germany.
