Impressively he said, "Fear is a very healthy thing." A voice from the rear ranks spoke up. "Captain," it said, "you're looking at the healthiest soldier in the United States army." Who's the Target? The, sentry on duty at the camp gate was a rookie, who had never done sentry duty , before. He had strict orders not to admit any car unless it bore a special three-cornered tag. Along came a^staff car, bearing a high-ranking officer, and it had no tag. He challenged it. lie heard the brass hat order the driver to go riglit through. Whereupon the young sentry said, calmly: "I'm sorry, sir, but I'm new at this. Whom do I shoot--you or the driver?" Ravages of Time ~4n front of the barrack-room mirror,, a young soldier was critically examining his face. "This army life is beginning to tell on me," he remarked to his buddy, who was standing nearby, waiting his turn. "How so?" asked the buddy. "Every day I look more like my identification photo."

"Ilie peanut goal is down slightly,' but emphasis is being placed on increasing acre yield to offset the smaller plantings. Final goal for peanuts picked and tlireshed is 3,230,000 acres. . Harvest of 10,757,000 acres of soybeans is sought, and planting of the needed 5,000,000 acres of flaxseed -is already well under way. ' Demand for fats and oils is e%f pected to continue strong in 1945, while the total available supply will be considerably reduced. Production of some 9.8 billion pounds from domestic materials is anticipated, over 1 billion pouhds less than the 10.9 billion pounds produced! in 1944. Chief cause given is lower lard production. Domestic edible oils -- cottonseed, soybean, corn and peanut--may reach a total production 100 to 200 million pounds more this year than last, largely due to an increased harvest of cottonseed from the 1944 crop. Military demands for fats and oils, including butter and lard, are heavy, both for the expanded mili: tary program and for relief distribution in areas under military jurisdiction. Preliminary estimates made by United States department of agriculture experts indicate a domestic disappearance of fat and oil products in 1944 totalling more than 10.3 billion pounds (in terms of fat content), for an increase of about 400 million pounds over 1943. Expanded production of soap for the military, with some increase for civilians, is believed to have been the major factor. Domestic disappearance of cottonseed oil declined 172 million pounds last year, reflecting the reduction in output, but the effect on supplies of food fats was partly offset by an increase of 101 million pounds in the use of soybean oil for this purpose.

' White Oak The oaks are among the most important hardwood species in the United States, due to large quantity of oak available and its .strength and beauty. There are 80 different species of oak, scattered over nearly all parts of the country. The wood of the white oaks generally lacks the reddish tinge common in the red oaks. It grows slowly, so is not as profitable for1 timber planting as red oak. In planting, best results are obtained from acorns, instead of transplanting the deep taproot young ireesi The tree is valuable for or-' namental planting, furniture, flooring, motor vehicle parts, railroad cars, general millwork, boxes and cratesr.caskets and coffins, ship and boat building, agricultural - implements, railroad ties, fuel, cooperage and mine timbers. ' 'T'HE day waa sunless. Everyx where, in aU the cities and hamlets, bells had been removed from all the churches In Belgium. In the city square of Antwerp, the people were gathered, saddened, tens* The children, close-lipped, faces drawn and serious, spoke in whiipers if at all. They were strewing flowers and leaves over the bronze bells which the Germans had demanded from the populace. No one paid any attention to tenyear- old Anton Beyden. Anton was not very bright. Long ago, the Germans had looted homes -- stores and shops were robbed--brass, iron and bronze were confiscated and now they had-called for a thousand more tons of bronze. "But we have no more to give," the officer was informed. "You have the church bells," tie snapped. "Give us those." Within the hour the enemy would come. The bells were already stacked in the square. Never again would they call the people to prayer at eventide. Little Anton turned away, pulling. his wagon behind him, his wooden shoes clumping on the cobbles. His wind-blown hair lay in thick blond curls on his forehead, his blue denim blouse open at the neck, his pants long, shabby but clean. He was the son of Pierre Beyden who had been killed by a German officer's car shortly after the occupation. Ever since, Anton's "Anton,*' she whispered. mother had taken ixi washing to earn a living. Before her marriage she had lived at the rectory, a true and trusted servant. Among her many customers was Mme. Phillipe, wife of the rector. Mme. Phillipe helped Anton lift the large basket into his wagon. She raised the lid for him to peer inside, then carefully closed it again, holding him by the arm. "Anton," she whispered, determined to impress him with the importance of what She was about to say. "Here is a precious treasure. Tell your mother to hide it until the war is over." The boy started off, subconsciously aware of Mme. Phillipe's warning. At the end of the road he stopped. Always about this time the Angelus bell rang. He paused to pray--prayer and the bell went together. He clasped his hands and ! bowed his head. And then he thought ] of Hans Mueller, the thirteen-year- !

Mahogany has suffered the move when poorly finished, says this authority, which continues: "The thick reddish hue and hard high lustre of much late 19th century mahogany is an example. The red was a stain. Used first as a perfectly legitimate means of obtaining uniformity of color, it gradually became a disguise for Inferior wood substitutes, growing darker and thicker for the purpose, until it all but concealed the natural grain. The lustre was several coats of gloss varnish. "The finest mahogany finishes are those which do the most to bring out the natural beauty and color of the wood.

Something within him cautioned him to guard "this precious treasure"' with his life. Instinctively he knew the boy would run off with it. With a shriek of rage he threw himself on his tormentor and knocked Hans down, trampling him with his wooden clogs. A strange new light shone in Anton's eyes. They were dark-blue pools row. He felt like a great soldier who had suddenly overcome a whole army by himself. In the square the'precious bells were already being loaded on trucks and vehicles of every size and kind. Anton trudged on, his head high, pretending not to see what was taking place in his beloved city. But the next day he had almost forgotten again as he went to his customary place to pray.
