FIRST new WHEAT
NOW COMING IN

The 1916 wheat crop is begin
ming to come in, and a bumper crop
it is going to be, too, from all in
dicationS.
Excellent quality, testing from
So to 60 pounds per bushel," Ed
gar Erwin, local manager of the
Ohio Grain Company, reported this
morning.
First wheat was brought in last
Wednesday by Bob Glendenning. 1t
tested SO pounds and Mr.. Glenden-
ming got an average yield of 30
bushels per acre.
"While we haven't had a lot of
opportunity to discuss yields so
far, some think the average will
run 30 bushels" Mr.. Erwin said.
This is exceptionally high"
About 5000 pounds of the gold
en- grain" has come in so far, Mr.,
Erwin reported. All of it is COM
bined grain, and he expects it to be
another week before threshed
wheat begins to roll in.
So far, shipping facilities have
been all right here.
There are plenty of cars so far,
Mr.. Erwin said, "but it may tight
en- up later on. We expect, how
ever, to move it all to the market
but if we have to, we can store
$4,000 bushels here until cars are
available"

ABOARD THE BATTLESHIP
USS NEW YORK, In the Pacific
l.. II. Warner, seaman, second
class, Claiborne, came through the
battle for Okinawa aboard this
battleship without a scratch, help
ing fire more than five million
pounds of shells at enemy targets
This tonnage exceeds that fired by
all ships combined during the in
vasion bombardmentS of TaraWa
or Maxim, Roi-Namur or Eniwetok
One of the grand old ladies OF
the fleet, the New York celebrated
her 31st birthday during the bat
tie. The only capital ship to stay
on the job without relief, she kept
her 14-inch and 5-inch guns firing
salvos at island targets steadily.
The men spent the equivalent
and two solid weeks at their all
defense stations during more than
200 air raid alerts. One Jap plane
made an unsuccessful suicide run
through a hail of anti-aircraft fire
but crashed harmlessly into the
sea. Not one Jap bomb torpedo OF
artillery shell found its mark or
the ship, although all were tried
Credit for much of the effective
ness of the ships firing goes to the
ships spotting planes which flew
an estimated $4,000 miles or
missions over the island, searching
out targets.
The history of the New York
dates from her commissioning on
April, Is, 1914 and spans two
world wars. In World War / she
served as the flagship of a battle
ship squadron sent to reinforce the
British Grand Fleet in the North
Sea in the fall of 1917, and she re-
manned there until the German
fleet surrendered.
During the present war she par
ticipated in the invasion of North
Africa, saw convoy duty in the At
lantic, and took part in the 1--we
Jina campaign.

FLYERS OF THE FUTURE WANT
COLLEGE

Flyers of the future are not going
to be satisfied with being just good
flyers. They want to be well-educat-
ed, well-grounded with an all-around
background and experience. This
trend was strongly indicated in an
announcement released by Lieuten-
ant Commander F. j. Barnes, II,
Director of Office of Naval Officer
Procurement, 1920 G Street, N. w.,
Washington, ID. c., giving the results
of nation wide poll recently con-
Quoted by TIE Navy among the II, Is
and 10 year old young men who are
eligible for the Naval Aviation Pre-
paratory Program (V-5).
AS anticipated ,66% of the appli-
cants selected Flying" in answer to
the question What part of the VS.
Program appeals to you most strong
ly?" However, the significant factor
is that out of designated "A
chance to get college education" in
answering What is the next strong
est appeal?"
Among parents, 75% we're most
impressed by the chance for their
sons to receive college education.
Under Navy's vs. officer pilot
training program, young men IT, 18
or 10 are eligible for selection for
the March /, 1916, class If they will
have graduated from high school by
February rs, 1946. One of the
unique aspects Of the progra mis- that
cadets receive four terms at an out
standing college prior to beginning
their flight training. Not only are all
expenses and maintenance paid for
by the Navy, but the student receives
salary of $50 month as well. This
is in line with Nays policy of de-
veloping officers with well-rounded
education.
Results of the poll, as well as
mounting enlistments for the March
class have told the Navy what it is
interested in knowing: that it's VS.
Program has the enthusiastic en-
dorsement and support Of the public.

HUNTING's LIKE THAT

Persons with sensitive nerves and
itomachs look upon hunters with a
certain repugnance because they
ant understand how anyone could
kill anything or get satisfaction out
If game pocket SO stiff with old
blood that it makes hunting coat

This Is addressed to such non-un-
lerstanding individuals and is not SO
much an apology as 1t Is a rebuttal.
n the first place, killing is only a
)art of hunting. Sometimes we do so
title actual killing that we think the
Commandment "Thou shalt not kill
vas written especially for us and we
must Ooey 1t whether we want to or
not.
There Is q certain pleasure in

falls. THE rabbit snaps like an I'M

shot. Cleaning and caring for it can
be quite chore.
A love for hunting has deeper
roots than those i'm human nature
which nourish and encourage liking
Tor the chase and blood-letting
There 10 companionship for example.
Men hunt togetherin groups or with

smoke after working through a hard

DR.. Toyohiko Kagawa, Japan's
world-renowned Christian leader, is
quoted by DR.. Walter Van Kirk, on
his return from a flying trip to Japan
as having said, Japanese morality
and culture had fallen so low that if
Japan had won the war it would
have been a catastrophe for the
world" Dr. Van Kirk reports that
Kagawa is carrying on an intensive
schedule of evangelistic meetings.
When the war first broke out, Ka-
gawa was arrested by the thought
police" and subjected to nine days
and nights of questioning. But he
was released and during the years
has been holding Christian meetings,
organizing relief, and promoting his
welfare institutions and the coopera-

THINGS you MAY
NOT HAVE Known
TILL NOW

Because of tradition, usage, or cor.
poreal pleasures, but because of fun
damental and demonstrable truth,
because of the heaven within lis.
The basis of Christmas is love loving
its enemies, returning good for evil,
love that 'suffereth long, and is
kind"
The Christmas season is rightly a
joyous one, and there can be no
greater Joy than to bring some mea-
sure of hope and comfort to those
who are in need, to forget self in
ministering to others. The never
failing love of God can touch every
lonely heart and fill 1t with the real
ization that in infinite Life and Love
there is no loss or pain, no separa-
ton from loved ones, no aching grief.
Because God is mans life, man is in
destructible. This is the message of
the joyous Christmastide; this is the
message we can carry in our hearts
and give of its overflow generously
to all in need Of its healing consola-
ton.
The world has celebrated Christ
mas Day for hundreds of years. Are
we ready and willing to seek better
understanding of its message? When
we raise our voices in the well-loved
carols, can we not have more faith
in their practical import, that the liv-
ing Christ is here today and.available
to all? Such faith-inspired rejoicing
can bring comfort and peace. In the
words of Phillips Brooks beautiful
hymn, 20 little town of Bethlehem:
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory
breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.
