DOWN MEMORY LANE
By Ye Editor

4 4SAs@A
When this Washington Newspa-
per Syndicate was young and in its
prime we wrote about politics most
of the time-all because a. young
country editor from a Lake Super
ior county seat village was learn
ing the ropes
The project +, called the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway be-
came an issue between the hills of
Duluth and the. villages in new
I Northern Wisconsin and most Of
the people wondered what it was
all abOut-and where they were at.
But we got into the game when the
scheme went into action at Cleve-
land, Ohio. Our curious 5000 peo-
pie in the town of Washburn, Wis
cOnsin, received invitations from
Cleveland to send delegates from
four Cheqnamegon communities to
a convention that was being ar
ranged. We all whoOped-er-up and
the whole town turned out for a
big meeting and Captain O'Neil,
head of one of the political factions
Of the county and ]. E. Jones, ac-
cused of being the boss" of an
other group were duly elected as
delegates to the Cleveland conven-
ton. Money was appropriated by
the local government to pay all ex-
penses of these happy local politi-
cal heroes. The two delegates were
SO enthused over the new honors
! that had been. thrust upon them
that they forgot all their home
town political battles and were
chummy before they got ten miles
away on the train headed for Clev-
eland. AS matter of fact they liv-
ed happily ever afterwards.
On their arrival at the Cleveland
convention they slowly absorbed
why, and what for, the st. Law
renee River was to be channeled
into the Great Lakes. They were
dead sure" that with that great
stream tipped on it's side" SO that
1t would flow into Lake Superior
and Lake Michigan that boom times
were ahead, just around the bend.
O'Neil asked Jones what it was all
about and Jones being a pretty good
| newspaper reporter told his friend
that all he could make out of it
was that they should vote with the
political fixers who had invented
the plan.
When they returned to Washburn
they made enthusiastic reports to
the effect that the Chequamegon
Bay was going to be introduced to
the wOTld-and become favorably
known all the way from Minnesota
to Michigan-and to far away
ports. AS time moved on the st.

KEEPING THE WHEELS
GOING ROUND

Fighting imitation is one of the
activities of big business-and at
the same time the same forces are
using every effort to adjust price
control. The merchants of the
country are. also doing their best to
escape Government curbs that up
set many kinds of business i'm
World War III. Besides that. the
stock market has been rather err
ratio in recent weeks. High taxes
and new controls seem to be bob
bing up at very frequent intervals
with the White House calling for
billions of dollars for all kinds of
purposes. We find one of the big
steel companies making a success
OF borrowing from another great
corporation-in order to keep their
head above water. The old adage
Borrowing from Peter to pay
Paul." still holds good.
Even the shopkeepers and mer-
chants are having a degree of sue
cess in borrowing Government mon
ey-and these lucky boys are maxi
ing every effort to show their ap-
probation of Government price
control. In short, the businesses
of the country, little and big, do
not hesitate to get all the help they
can from Uncle Sam. Meanwhile
small bankers as we'll as big ones
are watching which way the wind
blows so that they may get all the
advantages that they might receive
from Uncle Sam.
However, the Government is do
ing the best it can to protect all
kinds of business institutions, big
and small; while at the same time
the National Government is trying
to help the people-the poor espe-
cially. No matter what you may
say about the Government, the fact
remains that practically all banking
institutions throughout the United
States are Okay.

BUSINESS VERY DIFFERENT TODAY

Conditions are very different nowI than in 1910
There are now 100000 more people in the United
States This means not only 100000 potential
customers but your chance of being drafted is
proportionately less The national income is now
almost double what it was at the beginning of World
War II. People have better health, better edu-
cation and better wages Don't look back to what
happened before World War H. Forget those days
and recognize you living in entirely different
age
Although manufacturing is passing into bigger
units this is not true of merchandising and service
businesses There are more successful independent
merchants today than ever while attempts to
make chains of dry cleansing, beauty, and specially
shops have failed Therefore, don't get panicky and
sell out your business just because of war threats
labor troubles competition. Remember that for
every one who gets scared and sells out there is
much more opportunity for those who stick Only
don't borrow money to do So Keep out of debt
FINAL ADVICE
Whatever you do or don't do take up some
systematic study to enable you 10 DO better work
for yourself or your employer, Write tonight to
your State University for a list of its Extension
Courses. Some Of these courses are truly gold
mines." Pick out one more and "dig in" at once
They will not only help you in forging ahead here at
home but will go long way to prevent you from
being used as cannon fodder abroad.

10 BE REPAID IN FIILL

War is hateful job. It calls for about
attention, singleness of purpose. an inten-
slty OF effort. It cannot tolerate the discus
sion and debate of democracy at peace. It
demands-and gets-the subordination of
the individual citizen to the state. This is
the antithesis Of our concept of government
which subordinates the state to the individ-
ual citizen. War demands at the start broad
powers for the state which soon finds that
to make any control effective it must reach
down and regiment the simplest activities
o. the citizen. Remember bread-slicing Of

fact is that these gas stations are selling at
three or four times what those panic-stricken G. l.
men sold them for ten years ago. The same applied
to other businesses which could we'll have been
carried on by relative friend So don't do
something foolish now.
But then there was real war on; but no World
War III exists today. 1t may be many years before
such war comes; and much could happen in the
meantime. Congress has not even passed the Com
pulsory Military Training Bill. Because President
Conant of Harvard has written scary article on
Military Training for ALL 1920 years old in a
national magazine is reason why young man
should suddenly change his life plans by giving up
college a good job. Besides even if he is inducted
for two years. these years will go very quickly If
you doubt this, just look back two years

RECIPE FOR MILITARY POWER

What does military power consist ofP
FIRST Oh all, there are the fighting forces
the ground troops, the airmen, the combat
ships wy 1O-''"'''
Back of that is huge and intricate sys-
tenn of military organization and supply,
which trains, feeds, and equips the men in
uniform.
Back of that is American productive pow
erLthe factories, shipyards and enterprises
which provide the military forces with the
tens of thousands of things they must have.
from oil to bullets, from cans of beans to
combat boots
Back of all this is one more vital factor
and that is transportation. The troops and
the supplies must be moVed-sWiftly, surely.
as economically as possible, and in all wea-
theirs and under all conditions. Without that
kind of transportation, the supplies would
overflow the depotS and the warehouses. they
could not be taken to where they are needed,
and the military machine would grind to a
standstill
Here is the field where the railroads are
preeminent. In the last war, they carried
more than 80 per cent of all military freight,
and more than 81 per cent of all organized
military travel. They did it with minimum
of dislocation to their other services. The
iron horse shouldered the load and saw it
through to the end.
Since that war the railroads have spent
some $4,000, 100000 on improvements. Spen-
ding is continuing at billion-a-year-rate
The iron horse is ready once more for what
ever demands may be placed upon him.

ly are not considered harmful, but
DR.. Gordon H. Ball, zoolOgist at the
University of California declares
that his researches show the tiny

When they gather around the
small ducts in the crabs body, the
parasites completely close the duct
opening and destroy certain cells,
Dr. Ball states. He added that the
parasites are harmless to humans

YOUNG MEN AT WAR

Predictions in Washington are
that military service will be con-
tinued for two years or more.
Schooling will be interrupted be-
cause the youths will be called
into service. And that condition
may exist for the next 8 or 10 years.
Strangely enough thousands of
young men wEO are free to do as
they like are drifting into military
service of a kind for which we find
a pattern in Europe. Universal mil
itary service in some form seems
10 be on the way. The pattern starts
with young men 10 years of age
and the length of time that they
will serve will be 21 months.

SURVIVAL
We are fighting for survival as a nation

prudently, we shall win. We should quickly
adopt means to organize other anti Conmun-
lst manpoWer, such as Germans and Japan
ese, under our leadership. We should stinu-
late counter-eforts wherever possible within
CHINA and other countries, even with Russia
especially within Russia. At home, we
should insist that Congress squeeze everv
possible waste out of government. Let's
pound the lofty nonsense out of the State
Department, and put common sense Ameri-
canlsm in command. Nor should we permit
government to forget that the greatest asset
we have, the one which no enemy possesses
IS the free American. Let us not weaken
him by a set of second rate totalitarian con-
trolls and restrictions. Yes, the United States
is rlch and strong; but not rich enough nor

ALONG THE HOME FRONT

The big question across the coun-
try is: What next?" Continued
war signs seem to make it neees-
sary to step-up the defense pro-
gram to get the United States ready
for anything that may happen. AS
matter of fact most of our people
don't know what the wars are all
abOut-Or WHY.
One reaction to all this monkey
shining, and numbering of Ameri-
can men and boys, is the rise of
grocery prices-which right, now
are higher than hey ever have been
before in U. S. history. That's the
reason that in Washington there is
excitable talk of price controls,
wage controls, consumer rationing
and a host of other things that will
make 1851 look like a year of sac
rifice. A lot of people are guessing
at what's going to happen next.
