Sudden Drive

PARIS, Jan. 19 (UP) - Three
Allied armies were driving the
Germans back into the Siegfried
Line along a 100-mile stretch of
the northwestern front today, but
in Alsace a German attack opened
corridor from the bridgehead
north of Strasbourg TO the NaZis'
main front.
1t. Gen. Hodges First Army
made a general advance ranging
up to nearly two miles, forcing the
Germans in the north side of the
flattened Ardennes salient to
backtrack with indications they
were abandoning the st. With

1t. Gen. Patton's Third Army

the German lines in Luxembourg

Diekirch, the right wing of which
already was jabbing at the fore

At the other end of the western
front, however, the sudden Ger

counter-balanced the Allied gains

Public Opinion
Editor Herald:

EUltOI Herald,
Inquiry has frequently been
made OF me lately why this coun
ty does not receive a supply of
trout yearly for spring fishing,
such as some of the other coun-
ties receive.
/ had this matter up with Mr..
C. w. Butler, the man who has
in charge the state fish hatcher
les and the distribution of fish,
three or four years ago, and he
advised me that none of h e
streams in Buchanan, Dickinson
and Lee were considered suitable
for trout.
/ recently mentioned this mat
ter to him again and he replied
under date Of April %, as fol-
lows:
"This is to reply to your letter
of April Is in regard to trout for
streams in Dickinson county. We
are very sorry that Dickinson
county does not have any waters
that are suitable for stocking
with trout. The commission adj
heres strictly to the policy of not
stocking any fish in waters that
are not suitable for them.
sit is not fair for a warden to
be criticised for not receiving
fish for streams in his respective
county. The warden has to be
guided by the Commissions pol
icies."
The above communication
from Mr.. Butler explains itself. /
would be as glad as anyone else
if we had streams the game COM
mission considered suitable for
trout. Buchanan and Lee do not
receive any trout either.

not which they buy and cash in.
There are certain less obvious
but equally valid reasons why
farmers should strive to keep the
Bonds they buy until the date of
their maturity. For example,
there is the question of prices.
Present indications are that prices
will continue relatively high DUR
ing the early years of the post.
war period and may even in.
crease. A flood of postwar buy
ing, especially if it is supported
by individual sales of War Bonds,
might generate serious imitation
airy movement which could easily
absorb a large proportion of war;
time savings. In spite of all that
can be done to prevent it, there
will likely be a tendency in this
direction. This is especially true
since the availability Of many
items will be limited for at least
few years after the war. The
probability is that those who keep
their Bonds will be able to cash
them in after prices have de-
clined rather than when they are
at their peak.
There is, of course, the posi-
bility that we shall experience a
postwar depression instead of
postwar boom. In the one in
stance farmers would see prices
of things they sell decline more
rapidly than prices of things they
buy; in the other, wages and nom
agricultural prices would rise
more rapidly than prices of farm
products. In either case the re-
suit would be bad and I am GER
tain that farmers will wish to do
everything in their power to pre-
vent it.
Aside from these more or less
theoretical reasons why farmers
Gas well as all others) should be
exceedingly slow about cashing
in their War Bonds, there is an
other intensely practical reason.
1t might be stated in the negative:
why shouldn't farmers keep their
w al oOA1QS. UlOSL ia t11ElIA A1dfG
purchased Bonds out Of surplus
earnings resulting from wartime
governmental expenditures. IF his
tory repeats itself these earnings
will continue high for few years
after the war and ordinary farm
needs presumably may be financed
from current operations. It is to
be hoped at least that farmers
will not need to dispose of their
accumulated savings in order TO
meet post war needs and-until
War Bonds mature-their interest
yield will doubtless compare fa-
with that from any other
Farmers, of course,
should not neglect their resources
nor permit their operating eff
cheney to decrease merely for the
sake of holding on to their Bonds.
They should, however, be certain
of a real need for the money be-
fore they cash them in pre-
maturely.

Why a Farmer Should
Buy and Keep War Bonds
by G.. Ell. Aull
Head, Dept. Of Agricultural Economics
and Rural Sociology
Clemson College, S. C.
by G.. Ell. Aull

FARMERS in my section of the
4 country do not need to be told
why they should buy War Bonds.
Many of them have sons or broth
ers in one or the other branches
of the service and they have a
direct and personal interest in pro-
viding them with the supplies and
materials of War. They know,
also, that so long as they assume
this responsibility and use their
own funds for this purpose it
will not be necessary for Uncle
Sam to create new and infationary
dollars in order to do the job.
think, too, that farmers look
upon their purchases of War Bonds
as actually serving a threefoid
purpose, either one of which is suf-
icient to justify whatever tempo
rary inconvenience this might ne
cessitate. In the first place, by
buying War Bonds farmers make
another direct and vital contribu-
ton to the winning of the war;
secondly, they help keep prices
within reasonable bounds; and
finally, they build up a highly i'm
portant reserve supply of funds
which may be drawn upon after.
the war. This reserve may be
applied to the purchase of needed
items of equipment and supply
which either are not available
now, or, if available, more ex-
pensive than normally would be
the case. Meanwhile, of course,
their investments in War Bonds
will draw interest and If allowed
to mature will return four dollars
for three.
Most farmers T know can teach
the rest of us a great deal when
it comes to reasons for buying
War Bonds. They have been ac-
customed to small income in the
past and have been quick to see
that recent increases are due to
large scale government spending
and, therefore, not likely to con-
tinue indefinitely. Since goods for
civilian consumption are both
scarce and expensive, and since
further demands could serve only
to push prices still higher, 1t has
appeared both logical and patriotic
for farmers to use surplus funds
to finance the purchase Of essen
tial military equipment. o
My impression is that a great
many War Bond purchasers are
not fully informed as to the ne
cessity for keeping them until they
mature. reference Of course, is
primarily to purchasers Of ''E''
bonds which return $500 for each
SIS invested if held for ten years..
However, I believe this is less
true in the case of farmers than
of other groups. The reason is
obvious: farmers just naturally do
not sell a hog until it has reached
optimum weight. Even so, farm
ers need to be reminded that the
war must be fought and won with.
Bonds which they buy and keep,
