There is a question that every hui
man being must answer. Jesus
asked it (Matt. 22;42), and each of
US makes some kind of reply.
It is the tOuchstone that tries men,
and churches, organizations and
movements. The answer to it is of
deep importance, for it determines
character, condition, and destiny for
time and eternity.
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the
living God, is the center of the en-
tire lesson.

British Wives Coming

The United States and England will emerge
from this war with closer association and, it
may be believed, deeper mutual affection than
have always existed in the past. The bonds
are being forged, not be diplomatic negotia-
tons, not by the friendship of Roosevelt and
Churchill, not even wholly by combat with a
common enemy. These may have something
to do with it, but the chief agency Of amity is

The Growing South

The South has had few pats on the shoulder
by the North in times past.
Ignored by northern capital until the tex
tile industry awoke to its folly and moved
its mills to Dixie, enjoying favorable freight
rates, and denouncing southern political soil
darity, the North generally has looked upon
the South as a back-country cousin, or even
an unwelcome step-child.
It is refreshing, therefore, to note a chang
ing attitude there toward the region which
only few years ago former President Roose-
welt declared the nations No. problem, as
reflected by the Boston Herald.
In recent editorial, the Herald says:
Looking over the latest figures of the fed
eral Census Bureau, a Southerner may sur
mise that law of compensation is operating
in kindly way The Civil War inflicted
deep. visible and invisible wounds on the
South, and the northern agents Of Reconstruct
ton harassed it cruelty The best of the
young men were killed off and the best fami-
lies were the heaviest sufferers during and
after the war; The New South, as the elo-
quent Henry Woodfn Grady of Atlanta called
it, emerged painfully and slowly, but even
today the effects of the struggle on the in
dividual, the region and the whole civiliza
ton of the South are discernible.
1.-The present war has been helpful to the
South in accelerating the progress which was
beginning in Grady's lifetime. Industry and
agriculture are prospecting. The South is
building ships. The growth Of population in
the last four years has been larger than in
the North While the northeastern states show
a decline of 46 percent, the South has reg
istered an increase of 3.3 percent. Most Of
this may be due to new and expanding war
plants and the establishment of large mill
tary centers, but many of them will remain.
The South has discovered that it has advan-
tages which it had overlooked for years and
it will retain substantial share of
what has come to it.
THE North will look over the figures with
an envious but not begrudging eye. There is
a better realization here nowadays that the
South has struggled manfully against adversi-
ties without losing that courage which her
sons showed throughout the Civil war. She
richly merits the benefits the world war has
bestowed on her. The New South is now,
at last, taking the very form which the far
seeing Grady visIalized."

There are many rumors of changes in the
administrative family under President Tru-
man. Stettnus might be succeeded by James

than, Perkins, Biddle might disappear from
the Cabinet and Harry Hopkins from the
White House.
AS far as known it is all rumor. Mr.. Tru-
man has said nothing, which is natural and

him and Mr.. Byrnes has denied he will re-
turn to Washington except in consultative
role.
How it will turn out cannot be forecast.

Two Fronts In Germany

Before Hitler sent his forces into Poland,
he made treaty Of amity with Soviet Russia
to avoid fighting on two fronts. Drunk with
success and convinced he was destined to con-
quer the world he tore up the treaty and COM
mitted one of the major blunders OF his ca
reer by invading Russia. That two front
fighting prepared the way for his overthrow.
Russia with unlimited manpower and Amer
lean equipment and supplies turned the Ger
mans back before Moscow and at Stalingrad
and are engaged in an offensive battle which
has brought them within some thirty miles
of Berlin on the Oder, have captured Vienna,
capital from two directions.
Hitler had no more ability to fight success
fully on two fronts than any leader preceding
him. So completely has he failed that with
the Third American Army at the Czeehoslo-
yak border and Germany split in two he,
or whoever is at the top of German resistance,
must now fight on two fronts within Germany
itself. Patton's march across the waist OF
Germany, with juncture of American and
Russian forces probable, offers the single al
Tentative of another two front battle of
unconditional surrender.
AS this is not foreseen, since the Nazis still
appear to dominate Germany, it is obvious
that German armed forces, to the north and
the south of Patton's dissection, must do battle
as separate forces Interdependence and mu.
tual aid on both sides of the Patton line are
now impossible.
1t is not only this that brings final Allied
victory closer. 1t will make it difficult, II no
actually impossible, for Hitler. his top asso
ciates and the fanatical element in the Army
to flee into the Bavarian mountains Tor large

Heavy Rainfall Aids
Crops Throughout Area

A torrential downpour which fell
over the county generally Tuesday
night was reported to have brought
crop and soil conditions back to
normal, r. w. Galphin, county
farm agent, reported.
A few farmers reported damage
to vines and small plants, but in
general, relief from drought con-
ditions made the crop outlook
favorable, he added.
Weatherman Paul Hess said the
rain totaled .88 of an inch, the
heaviest since February 6.
At times visibility along high
ways became so poor from what
appeared to be a cloudburst that
drivers were forced to halt.
