In this little city we, too, read with interest of the progress of the war, for there is not one of us that it does not greatly affect. Yet, because we are few, we feel that our opinions are unimportant. We operate our stores and carry on in our professions, too willing to let our national leaders take over completely In decisions which will affect us decidedly in future years., In electing these men to act for us I */PM* or two, then putting them we must choose them for their | face/ down on the coffee table, the ability and sincerity according to P»ano, the floor: after whitewashing past records.

The battle Jacket with the JOHNNY- MULFORD'S first ap- ** proach to the girl was direct. He went straight up to her in the subway station and said, "Gee, you're the most beautiful, thing I ever saw." The girl gave him a look that was (1) startled, x(2) contemptuous and (3) mad. She said, "On your way.** Perhaps if she had known Johnny's long build-up before he found the courage to do what he did she would have been a little more re* ceptive. It was like this: He had come back from the wqrs and gone to work for the Mulcahy Contracting Company on his old drawing boafd, after two months' loafing. He couldn't get through his red head that this building stuff was of the slightest moment. He couldn't, at first, get back to work. He couldn't get his mind on the beam. After wandering around the house, worrying Mom to death, picking books out of the bookcase and read MUDDLED ORATORY judgment. Sooner or later we must become wide awake enough to realise that we, are considered "easy marks" by, most of the other nations, especially by those who have benefitted most shoulder patch embroidered with the "1" and "Guadalcanal" hung in the closet. He had never worn it since the day he got home. He saw the girl the first day he went regularly to work. She boardfrom our "giving" ways. Many of J ed the bus at Poplar Street. She us realize now that our happy-go-1 carried herself with a quiet dignity lucky attitude toward the really im- that became her blonde beauty; she was alone always. The girl's eyes reminded Johnny of the deep blue of the Pacific, and it seemed as if this was the girl he had been waiting for all his life. But the girl appeared to know nothing about that. > After a few weeks of long-distance admiration Johnny met Kline Harkins and, wonder of wonders, Kline knew something about the girl! If Kline had only been acquainted, things might have been settled one way or another right then. But Kline only lived near the girl, and portant things, in contrast to our ex- ' ^txwne seriousness in matters that • are relatively unimportant, is bringing many a laugh behind our backs. These thoughts come to us especv ially after meetings such as the recent one of the Big Three at Potsdam. There are quite naturally many differences of opinion as to the merits and demerits of the conference provisions. The important thing is that the issues which are of greatest importance to us were hardly discussed--or if they were, decisions as to how they will be car- Tied out have been left with the Jeaderg alone, boundaries of Europe4 she wasn't given to distant rioddings. have been changed without con suiting more than a few men from a country which has, sent millions of men into the fight. Many of these now lie on foreign soil, with foreign diplomats designating, according to their own whims, boundary lines which will indicate the country in which those familiar white crosses will be located. • 'A few days ago--the most informed reports told us that the possibility of Russian entrance into the Japanese war had not even been discussed at Potsdam. On Wednesday, after our new atomic bomb threatened complete annihilation of Japan, w- hear that Russia will join the allied countries in speeding this victory. Naturally, the United States is happy over this new help, yet we cannot be so naive as not to surmise that at this late date Russia's sole interest in joining the allies was not purely from a humanitarian point of view, unless it would be strictly Russian humanitarianism. During the past few months, since the collapse of Europe, our soldiers and_ sailors have fought on in the Pacific, while those we aided have concentrated their efforts on making sure that they were not forgotten in the distribution of spoils of that war. Now that, this has been settled according to their satisfaction, they are ready to conquer new fields. If we are to continue to have pride in a democratic nation, we must soon begin to make certain demands. How can we hope to judge the future benefits to us of any of our Big Three conferences when important issues are decided without the opinions of at least the men who represent us in congress? Our boys were not asked their opinion back in 1942 when draft calls for more than a hundred men were issued in McHenry county each week. They were not asked their opinion on again going overseas to die in a ftaropean war. They were only told |°r P™ democracy was at stake, Shouldn t these be the men now to ®e consulted--these men who have so^ successfully carried out their . Nirw thft this phase of the war is finished, too many of us figure that someone else will take care of the readjustment period. Someone else will, but too late we will discover that we slackened our interest at the really important time of • the war. It is discouraging to# note that while in both WorldWars the loyalty, morale and'"fight" of the American people, botfi civilian and military, J" -P*rb' state department alter the war was sorely lacking in leadership. With due respect to the since renews ^of our war time presidents and state departments, the enthusiastic aggresiveness necessary to win the peace has nevertheless not been present. _Ifwe w i l l f i g h t as well in p o l i t i c a l matters during the post-war period 5L WJL ^i d.urin* the a^ual bat- ™ Si ^ a 8tron*er nation. ?hev» chW that P«»>oun lon?er wil1 p"de >n «#(|r democratic nation be justified? ; • Binaing Flax Grain binders will handle flax v ***ore easily if a smooth edged sickle ,jsj»ubstituted for the rough-edge As governor of New Yotk, A1 Smith once- addressed the inmates of Sing Sing prison.

But Kline had a lot of dope. Her name was Hermance Taylor, she was twenty-two and worked in the Great American Insurance Company's office; her father was a dispatcher for the bys company. There wai no Boy friend m sightT"" " Six weeks passed. Owe Johnny had the opportunity to give Her- .mance his seat in the bus. She said 'a cool "Thank you," and sat down. After that Johnny ceased to exist. After his rebuff in the subway station Johnny braced Kline Harkins to try to meet the girl through neighbors on Poplar Street, but Kline was too diffident and bashful himself for that. Anyway, Johnny calculated, Kline would like to meet the girl on his own account. This seemed a cockeyed reversal of the "Why don't you speak for yourself, John?" Pocahontas thing. , Johnny just subsided into eyeing the girl, drinking in every detail of her appearance, noting the sweetly grave expression in the deep blue eyes, the just-right details of her modest dress, the graceful walk and superlative carriage. Things at the office didn't go so well. He couldn't concentrate on the layout of the Kilmer Radio Company's machine shop at all. Mr. Mulcahy was swell; he reminded Johnny that Rome was neither built nor destroyed in a day. "Take your time," he said. "This stuff will seem trivial for a while yet. Work only when you feel like it, Johnny. We're with you--we know what you can do." "Wait till I meet Hermance," he said to himself. "Then I'll start to go to town. We'll see movies two nights a week, and we'll hold hands in the dark. On Saturday nights we'll go to the American Legion dancefc, and the boys will lpok at Hermance and gnash their teeth. After about a year I'll toilch Dad for a loan and we'll think about buying a house, and from then on it'll be bills and mortgages and maybe a little Hermance and Johnny. And will I love it!" Early on Johnny's Saturday off, Mr. Mulcahy called him up. "Johnny," he said, "Mr. Henderson is here from Milwaukee. He wants to go over the machine shop layout with us, and I don't know a thing about it. Will you come in?" Well, Mother had sent his only civvy overcoat to the cleaners, and it wouldn't be back until night--a. special concesision at that. Mother said, "Put On the battle Jacket, John. It's mild out. You ought to be proud of it." Johnny hated to wear any part of a uniform somehow, but there was nothing else to do. It was too cold for his suit, and as yet he possessed no topcoat. He sallied forth in the battle jacket HermanCe hopped on the bus at Poplar Street. Her eyes passed 'Johnny with their cool impersonality and looked out the window. Something brought them back again, and they settled on the shoulder patch of Johnny's jacket, on the "1" and thfe "Guadalcanal." In the subway station she came swiftly up to Johnny and said, "Pardon t me, but I always wanted to shake hands with a man from Guadalcanal. I hope you won't think I'm forward." Johnny grinned and said, "No. I don't think you're forwar<|. X think you're swell." \ Cashier--Pardon me, but what is your name?

J. - Advisory Master John A. Matthews agreed with a lawyer who was describing the high cost of domestics. "You don't have to tell me a thing about that," Matthews said. "Why laft night I did the wash at home and before coming to town thia morning I put up the clothes-line." j, Beds Down in Tar; 25 Cops Save Him Wli^Oirt of Sticky Couth Like Bad Tooth. • JERSEY CITY.--It took 25 caps, equipped w(th all the ingenious devices with which police emergency squada are armed, 40 minutes to get Ignatz C. Banikonis out of bed. Ignatz, being a bit overcome by the rigors of pay day night, had gone to bed in a 15-inch deep patch of tar, which aided perhaps by his supercharged body heat became a pallet so soft that it well nigh engulfed him. Banikonia, 58, of Brooklyn, a track laborer for the Lehigh Valley railroad in Jersey City, was discovered deep in his gummy resting place at 8:45 a. m. by a pair of passers-by. Inst Half a Mustache. Crossing a lot where an asphalt plant formerly was located they came upon what appeared to be the right half of a man lying on a shiny patch of black stuff. Fearing they had come upon the body of a weird murder case victim, they stirred the "corpse," which opened its right eye and yelled. There was a left half of the body, too, they discovered--immersed to the center of the body line, including the left half of a luxuriant mustache. They tugged and tugged, and Banikonis yelled with half his mouth. The tar held the buried half of him fast. * ' Lieut. Arthur Schultz and hid emergency squad came and went to work on the half entombed Banikonis With gasoline, shovels and even longshoremen's hooks, and knives. "I've been 13 years on this squad, and I've seen some honeys," panted Schultz, mopping his brow." But this is the one I'll always remember." Finally they cut away Banikonis' clothes and the left half of his mustache, sheared off the tarry side of his hair aos} pulled him out like an Selling tooth. • " - • They rushed him, wrapped in a blanket, to Jersey City medical center and went to work on him with gasoline, kerosene and alcohol.' Hospital attaches said his condition was not serious--just messy.

As most repair work is done in the-Winter during lulls in other work, a stove should be part of the shop. Pljuie Wins Race With Death, Child Is Saved LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- Little Jimmy Crowell, 3%, was breathing easily after a race against death was won for him by an airplane pilot and medical science. A chocolate coated peanut became lodged in Jimmy's windpipe at his' home in Henderson, Nev., recently. He was takeq to the Boulder City (Nev.) airport, where three passengers gave up their afr liner seats so that the boy, his father, J. M. Crowell, the family physician, Dr. Donald McCormack, and an oxygen tank could ride. Pilot Rudy Tuesdale made the 258 mile trip'to Bui bank, Calif., in 1. hour and 22 minutes, 18 minutes less than regular time. The plane was met by an ambulance and Jimmy was sped to Children's hospital in Hollywood, where the instruments needed for the operation were available. The father said that only 2 hours and 15 minutes elapsed from the time the peanut was swallowed until it was removed. Indigo, of which 8,500,000 pounds had' bee» imported ft^lOH, depends on aniline as one of its raw materials. Indigo appeared -on the market in 191? and the following yfcar its production rose to 3,000,000 pounds. It should be noted that progress In the manufacture became so pronounced that in a few yeara American indigo displaced the foreign material to a large extent in the Orient. V Bla(l Musis When birds twifler away, they are not singing just any old song. They are actually composing music. This is the conclusion of Dr. Wallace Craig of the New York state museum following a study of the wood peewee. Dr. Craig discovered that this bird had three songs in its repertoire, and sang them at different times. The early morning song was different from that sung at mid-day, and entirely unlike the one warbled at twilight. The scientist found that the evening song consisted of three different phrases repeated hundreds of times in varying order. Aided by 22 other observers, he made out a chart showing the order of the phrases. This showed, he said, that there was a definite musical composition to the songs.
