America, the highest standard of living the world has ever known. Advertising is an important, integral part of this system, for without it the system could not have funeioned so efficiently for the benefit ot all classes of American society. As the System made larger and larger distributions to American workers of what they produced, and goods were produced in increased quantities, advertising was largely responsible for the marketing of the increased production. As was inevitable, • comparatively few avaricious or over-zealous manufacturers made false claims in their advertising. These short - sighted, stupid individuals were willing to sacrifice permanent success for temporary gains. You can't fool any of the people all of the time and the consuming public soon caught up with these cheaters and put them out of business. Had these charlatans constituted anything but a very small minority, advertising would have died completely, for the genral public would have lost all confidence in it. However, most manufacturers knew that the making of false claims is suicidal and wisely refrained from doing so. Further, the advertising industry policed itself. No governmental agency was needed to suggest, enact or enforce regulations to force "truth" in advertising. This policing was voluntary because the vast majority of advertisers, being honest themselves, were anxious to eliminate the few dishonest ones. Thus, for their own protection, as well as for that of the consuming pub. Ik, they helped expedite the removal of these fakers from the business arena. Today, a large number of eonsumer organizations and numerous governmental agencies are impugning the honesty of all advertising. Many bills have been proposed in Congress, de'- signed to put a curb on advertising. The promoters of these bills claim that advertising increases the cost of products to the consuming public. This is absurd--the very opposite is true because advertising creates increases demand, which in turn creates increas. ed production, and which in turn results in lower cost to the consumer. The most disturbing of these bills are the Price Control Bills now pending in Congress which would give the President the possible authority to forbid advertising of any kind. If such legislation is'passed and the President should exercise his prerogative, it would be an unwarranted, senseless assault upon an honorable business, which has played a major role in making the United States the outstanding and most efficient producing country in the world, with the highest standard of living. Let your Congressman know Immediately that you want the Congress to keep its hands off advertising--the life-blood of American business. Act now before it is too late.

Walter H. Brandenburg Ingleside. IHiaeis • Waft MeHenry State Bank, Clerkiag Finger Painting ' Aid in Paralysis New World of Action, Color for Physically "Handicapped Tote. . DURHAM, N. C.--The medium of finger painting is opening up a new world of action and color for physically handicapped children who are unable to co-ordinate muscular control because of spastic paralysis. Children in the spastic dormitory of Duke hospital for the first time in their lives are able to express themselves without muscular tension-- tension that sometimes can bring on a chaos of writhing movements. The finger painting technique was originated by Miss Ruth Faison Shaw, famous painter, teacher and designer. The technique is simple --children dip their fingers into colored paint and "daub" the cobra onto si board. Remarkable, pictures sometimes are created by the children, who are unable to hold drawing pencils or brushes in their hands. Occasionally vivid and original designs are formed. The designs, adaptable to textile prints, may be a means of some of the "spastics" earning a living. Brashes Fail Hands. Miss Isobel Moore, who proposed a project in rhythmic drawing in color for relaxation, ran into difficulties when she found the patients could not hold brushes or crayons very well, and Miss Shaw suggested finger painting. There are no set rules in finger painting, and the child is left to create as he will. His senses are stimulated by the pleasant texture of the paint, and pupils who could not remain interested in one subject more than a few minutes were engrossed for hours in finger painting. One child who has been unable to articulate an individual word saw the other children working and pulled the hem of Miss Shaw's skirt to attract her attention. She turned and he asked: "Let me do it." Often, Miss Shaw says, the realization of physieal shortcomings in a child "builds up an emotional conflict that aggravates his condition. In our experimental classes here we find that the birth-injured child tactfully but unremittingly trained to a determination to surmount his handicaps, encouraged to a sense of accomplishment by work especially adapted to his individual needs, gradually acquires greater confidence and assurance. This in turn helps him to be more oblivious of his condition." Teeludfaa Developed. Miss Shaw developed the technique while abroad, opening her first school in 1923 in Rome. In 1932 she was called to Paris to give a public demonstration. She lectured at the Sorbonne, instructed at the Trocadero school and arranged for six exhibitions of the work of her pupils. Later she came to America and demonstrated finger painting at the Daltqp school in New York. Patients rartge in age from 4 to 14. Older girls, she said, produced patterns that have suggested a possible vocational aptitude in the field ot textile design. Dr. Earl R. Carlson, himself a spastic child, and author of a recent book, "Born That Way," said when he was not afraid, self-conscious or overanxious about what he was doing he was able to move his muscles successfully, although usually such an attempt--such as moving a finger-- was enough to cause writhing. He said the "best medicine" for th^ spastic would be to become financially self-dependent and that it was to be hoped finger painting might open a way. „r- _ FARM TOPICS SOIL ELEMENTS ^ VITAL FACTOR For Fertile Farm Lands and Future Yield. ; • If DR.

Historian Urges Letters ~ Of Trainees Be Saved MONTGOMERY, ALA.--Save letters from the boys at camp. That's the advice of David L. Darden of the Alabama department of archives and history, who «aid they may have great historical value 100 years from now. "Among the most interesting papers in our files, and the ones that tell the true story of the Civil warl 'are th# letters from private fa »ut Confederate army," he said. Of Uiitouri.) If we Americans paid as much attention to our soils as we do to our cars or radios, the matter of soil fertility would not be the mystic business we often think it is. It is high time we learned a little about soil chemistry -- at least enough so that chemical terms such as calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus and potash ar£ no more difficult to comprehend than other terms like carburetor, differential, superhetrodyne, static, radio beam. There is nothing really mysterious about the elements which combine to promote soil fertility. Calcium, or lime, that serves as part of the growing plant's proteinmaking activity and is needed so badly by most soils before legumes can be grown, is so common it ought to be a household word on every American farm. Nitrogen, the distinguishing element in protein tor which all forms of life struggle, is getting scarcer in our soils and should be more fully appreciated for its elusiveness. Phospho us, which enters into combination with nitrogen to make protein, the secret stuff of life, growth and reproduction, must likewise be added to other items about which we must familiarize ourselver further. Phosphorus is likewise becoming more deficient in our soils, in spite of the fact that this country has more and larger deposits of phosphatic material than any other in the world. We must learn more, too, about potash which is the balance wheel that promotes healthy growth, enables the - growing plant better to use the nitrogen supply and develop resistance to disease. Like the others, potash has been steadily drained out of our soils. It is fitting that all of us should make closer acquaintance with the foundations of our farm crops and, in turn, the foundation of our very bodies--namely, the soil itself and the elements which make it productive. • * >• US DA Purchases Cheeat On Wisconsin Exchange Purchases of cheese under the Food-for-Defense program are in the future to be made on the exchange at Plymouth, Wis., according 10 an announcement by the department of agriculture. The new method follows the invitation of the Wisconsin Cheese exchange to use its facilities. The present method of buying cheese through the acceptance of bids from manufacturers and others will be continued in addition to purchasing on the exchange, Department, officials said that by buying cheese on the exchange to supplement tfce present bid method, purchase operations should be more directly reflected in cheese market prices with increased benefits to milk producers. Exchange officials have indicated that trading rules would be modified to permit buying in accordance with the department's usual specifications. Between March 15, when buying operations under the Food-for-Defense program began, and July 16 the department bought over 46,700,- 000 pounds of cheese. Most of the purchases have been of large styles of cheese (Cheddars and twins) which are preferred forexport Recent prices paid at nrfldwestern points have been between 22 and 23 bents per pound, including differentials of age of cheese and kind of pack. Some daisies, or small styles of cheese, have been bought previously, with the usual trade price differentia] of one-half cent per pound over large styles, in order to make it possible for the industry to utilize all of its cheese-making facilities. Manufacturers are now urged by the department of agriculture to shift from the manufacture of daisies to large styles of cheese in border to meet export requirements more adequately. Cheese buying operations of the department will continue to be concentrated on the large styles. Cheese and other foodstuffs bought in the department's program can be used for domestic distribu tion -to public aid families and foi school lunches, to meet require ments for the Red Cross for ship ment to war refugee areas, foi transfer to other countries under the terms of the Lend-Lease act.

The candidate for the police force had passed all except his final examination and now stood with others lined up for the last few questions. The captain stepped forward and the applicant jerked to attention. "What," barked the examining officer, "would you do if you were alone on a dark lonely country road, late at night and were being pursued by a desperate gang of criminals driving sixty miles per hour?" The about-to-be policeman threw out his chest, flicked an imaginary speck from his coat and drew a deep breath. He spoke slowly and distinctly, looking his captain-aboutto- be in the eye.
