John Dreymiller and Jake Stc^el went hunting rabits one fine afternoon not long ago. John showed extreme caution all afternon on how to handle a loaded gun. Crawling thrcueh fences, he was especially careful. Well, they tramped around afternoon without seeing anything to shoot --or shcot at--so returned hme with only a lot of good exercise.

Second Helping At Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Private Edward A. Caesar had his mind set on a few days leave. His record as a soldier was*excellent. But he had been toeing the mark iately so that nothing would prevent his getting time off. Finally the d.iy came when he planned tcf request the leave. So he went to the n tess hall with this on his mind. And instead of asking the soldier next to him for the salt as he intended to do, h« said qu(ts seriously: "Pass ttie fur* lough, please!" No Water, No Eggs ^hen laying hens don't drink tnough water, egg production will drop as fast, or faster, than when they fall off in eating, says George P. McCarthy, poultry husbandman of the Texas A. and M. college extension service. The drop in consumption of water in summer most often is traceable to the drinking fountain being left in the open exposed to the afternoon sun. Normally, hens drink more liquids in hot weather than at other times of year, but if the water in the fountain gets too hot the birds won't drink enough. A decline in consumption of water also results in a reduction in the size of the eggs. Placing the water fountain inside the chicken house, or under shade nearby, will induce the ^hiriraW |~ drink more freely.

Tbo Seven Pleiades If a person with ordinary vision on a dim night looks directly at the well-known group of stars known as the Pleiades he will see four or five. But if he looks at them out of the corner of his eye he will see two or three more stars, says the Better Vision institute. The seventh star in the group, known by the ancient Greeks as the "weak sister," has such weak light that it is difficult to distinguish even with excellent eyes under the most lavorable conditions. The Pleiades, according to Greek mythology, are the seven daughters. of Atlas transformed into stars. One of the girls, Merope, had an affair with a mortal man, which was forbidden to goddesses. As punishment sh# was made into the "weak sister" star. She oonceals herself out of shame for having loved a mortal. „ FOOD IS ESSENTIAL IN WINNING THE WAR HERE IS A LITTLE PICTURE of wartime as at least two elements in America play the game. A patriotic' old citizen of my acimaintance, wishing to do his part Dot too old to get into the armed services and with no opportunity for employment ih a war industry plant, proposed to help in the production of that first war essential--food. He planted nine acres of tomatoes. With long hours of labor, he cultivated and cared for them up to the picking stage, but alone, he could not pick the hundred tons of tomatoes, and farm help was not available. He applied to the boy students in the high school for assistance after school hours. Not one single boy of that school responded. I watched this patriotic individual--he is nearly 60 years old--as he worked long hours, picking such of his crop as was possible that it might augment the food supply of the nation at a time when food is desperately needed. Across the road, less than 200 feet distant, I also watched some 75 of the boy students of the town high school practicing football. They were the boys who had refused to help pick tomatoes, although offered liberal pay for their assistance. Something is wrong with our schools when they fail to impress upon our young men, those of 16, 17 and 18 years of age, a sense of their obligation to the nation, especially in time of stress. Defeat for the nation would mean fkr more to those boys than to the man who was picking the tomatoes. It would mean far more to them than to their grandfathers or their fathers. Defeat to them would mean a lifetime of toil and sweat and tears. They would not devote a few hours of playtime to doing a bit for the nation that gave them birth, that provided education and opportunity, a nation that will be their legacy within but a few years. Yes, something is wrong, radically Wrong, with a school system that produces such conditions among our high school students. If our teachers cannot or will not instill a sense of the obligation of citizenship in the minds of the students, government should draft the boys of 16 to 19 years of age for service in the fields Where help is needed. • • * NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING AND A FREE PRESS WHEN THE MERCHANT buys newspaper advertising he buys something more than space and circulation coverage. Along with these tangibles, he pays also for that intangible protection for his business, a free press. A free press is the first essential to the maintenance of a republic; a controlled press the first essential of fdictator. In America we must ve a free press if we are to preserve our American system of private enterprise. A free press can, and does, serve as the medium for the distribution of such factual information as will provide a background for sane thinking. It is the distribution of such information that will pres4We the business of each coitimunity, and of the nation as a whole, as private enterprise. To adequately serve, the newspaper must be financially successful. Patronage of its advertising columns is warranted, not alone for the tangible values offered, but also for the intangibles, that it may serve in preserving our American system of free enterprise. That intangible is one of the values the advertiser buys. • • • FINANCIAL STATEMENT THAT GIVES FACTS THE DU PONT COMPANY issues once each year the most illuminating financial statement I have ever ; seen. That statement shows the 1 gross total revenue of the company | for a year. It shows the distribution j of that revenue in totals and per- | centages going to each element in- j volved in its production. It shows i how much and what percentage of the total goes to factory labor; how | much and what percentage goes to office and sales employees; how much and what proportion to taxes --local, state and federal--to management, to purchases, to capital. If the financial editors of the metropolitan newspapers receiving that statement would but see it, they would find the material for one of | the really big news stories of each : year--a story that would do much toward eliminating the labor rack- j eteer and one that would be a ! human-interest document for all America. • • • - MEDALS FOR FARMERf A LACK OF FOOD can cause us Co lose the war as quickly as a lack of munitions. If we are going to make heroes of those who produce ships, tanks, guns and planes, we must also reserve some medals for the American farmer. The only real hero is the man on the battle front, stopping the enemy. It does not take that of whicn heroism is made to work 40 hours a week in a munitions plant at exceptional# wages. --Bur War Bonds • - How to Here is the way to names of the three best sian leaders: Mwrim Max-eem (accent slightly on the last syllable), Lit-vee-noff -(accent on vee).
