From a Disciple of the S. P. c. A. .... Now that the world is at peace and the suffering of war IS past let not forget that each day in our city many dumb animals suffering from want and cruelty and they need to help them because they can not help themselves. Homes are being broken mp and factory workers are returning to other towns and cities and who has been so faithful friend and protector or their kitten who has been such good company and kept their home free from rodents is left home Iess These abandoned animals wander from house to house trying to find friend who will take them m from the cold and feed them, but notices the
 little dogs friendly wag of his tail or the pussys Purr Most of have own pets but we can show little kindness by sheItering these fOrsaken little animals until home has been found for them until we notify the humane society. Let make this a better world for animals as we'll as for Man.

 twice day. it depends where you live but left no glad news from the agency in charge of paying the benefits We pass this complaint for what it is worth If the facts are wrong The Tower will be informed. If the facts correct The Tower will or less expect a deluge of letters confirming the original complaint and also an investigation by state officials to the cause of the delay which has caused hardship in number of cases

Aid Farm Program

If our boys at the front are to be
adequately fed and clothed, American
farmers must produce more (even than
last years record crops) with less help,
and with fewer requirements of farm
machinery.
The supply of farm labor is shorter
than ever. Agricultural deferments are
being cancelled. Machinery requirements
are harder to get. This means that
tractors, farm trucks and equipment
old and overtaxed though they may be
must be kept working every possible
minute, if farm production quotas are
to be reached.

of farm machinery. Tractor operators
