'FREEDOM TO WOW BIRTH OF AN IDEA WHAT AMERICA is fighting for is presumed to be enunciated in the Atlantic Charter Snd expressed in President Roosevelt's Four Freedoms. The day following the first announcement of the four freedoms, W. O. Hart, then the editor of the Orange (Calif.) Daily News, 'wrote and printed an editorial in which he insisted that to the four should be added a fifth, the freedom to work. The Orange Daily News is a small rural newspaper. It does hot have a wide circulation. Comparatively few editors of other newspapers see it. The editor of a newspaper trade publication, Editor & Publisher, did see* that editorial and reprinted it with credit to the Orange Daily News. That reprinting brought the editorial to the attention of thou* sands of newpaper editors in , all sections of the United States. Hundreds of them reprinted it, some with credit to the News and some without. That little editorial in a rural newpaper had started an" American crusade. ,v W. O. Hart's pen is stilled now. He died in an airplane crash last December, but the idea he so promptly inaugurated goes marching on.

ECONOMIC PLANNERS OUR WASHINGTON PLANNERS attempt to tell us that our free enterprise system has reached the end of its virility. They prophesy dire consequences unless the government takes over the direction of production and distribution. They may be --arid I believe they are--mistaken, as was another economist of an earlier day. He was Robert Thomas Malthus, a Cambridge university economist of 1880. He alarmed peo- * pie of England by his insistence ^hat the British Isles could not support any greater population than they had. English "planners" proposed methods of regulating the birth rate in order that the population might not outgrow the number of jobs. A century later the British Isles had five times the population of 1800, living on a much higher standard. That is proof that economists can be wrong, and oui economic planners may be of that kind. I think they are. No Nicknames Please Teacher--What's your name? First Boy--Si. Teacher--Why don't you say Silas? And what's yours? Second Boy--Tom. Teacher--Why don't you say Thomas?

A PROPOS of nothing, except the ** fact that two young friends of his had just patched up a minor lovers' quarrel, A1 Cooper told me this story the other day about Alec Blake and Elinor Chase. . They met (A1 began) at a summer resort out in the Middle West. Alec had been out of college two years and was working for the telephone company. Doing pretty well at it, Elinor came from Peoria, and was staying at one of the resort hotels with her mother. She worked as a stenographer in. a lawyer's office, and this was her annual vacation. She didn't have much of an ancestral background, and she hadn't had the benefit of a college education. But even though Alets had known, it wouldn't have influenced him. For ancestral background and college education don't affect a girl's beauty or her sweet disposition. Alec met her one day when he came up to her hotel to talk with the manager about installing a new phone service. She was standing near the desk and the manager introduced them. Alee went back to the office that morning and told his boss that if be (the boss) didn't care, he'd like to take the first week of his annual fortnight vacation then. The boss said that was O. K., and Alee stepped into a phone booth, called Elinor Chase and asked her how she'd like to go swimming. They spent the rest of the day in the hotel pool, and that night Alec took Elinor and her mother to din- Corer Drop Provides ' Good Food for Plant* Vegetable growers will* find the month of August a favorable time to sow oover crops, either aft«r an early market crop has been removed or just before the last cultivation of a late market crop.4 Being a nitrogen gatherer, hairy vetch is one of the best of the winter cover crops, proVi led its requirements are met. A good crap of vetch will return to the soil, when plowed down next spring, the equivalent of several hundred pounds per acre of nitrate of soda. The seed of hairy vetch should be inoculated if neither vetch nor peas have been successfully grown on the field in recent years. Vet^h will not tolerate excessive soil actiity. and it makes a better stand with a moderate amount of seed if it is drilled rather than broadcast by hand and scratched in. Where conditions are believed to be quite favorable to vetch, it may be seeded alone at the rate of 25 to 30 pounds per acre. It is usually best, however, to sow vetch with some other cover crop. Ten pounds of the clovers -- crimson, sweet, mammoth, red or alsike--and 15 or 20 pounds of vetch per acre are a good combination for sowing in- August on well limed soil. Domestic rye-grass mixed vfith vetch Or one of the clovers, about 10 pouhds Of rye-grass with either 10 pounds of clover or 15 pounds of vetch, also makes a good mixture.

During the remainder of the week she was with them nightly. Don was a member of Alec'a crowd. He had displayed an unusual amount of interest in Elinor after j the first meeting. He did his best to : promote himself in her eyes, and : didn't lose hope even when Elinor | indicated .plainly her preference for ; Alec. It would seem, on the face of it, | that Elinor's attitude in the matter j should have convinced Alec that he j was the shining star in the scope of j the young lady's vision. Buf when i a man is in love, and when he knows another man is interested in the girl of his choice, he is apt to exer- ' cise his imagination. Logic informed him that Elinor didn't care two hoots in Purgatory for Donald Moore, yet Don was so persistent with his attentions that Alec's mind would have been set more at ease if Elinor told the rival that he was through. Alec schemed to bring this about. He waited until the last day of his vacation. The crowd with whom he and Elinor had been associating all week had planned a picnic at a nearby lake, and Alec saw to it that Donald Moore had an opportunity to be alone with Elinor on several occasions. He wanted Don to ask her to go out with him that night, wanted to give Elinor a chance to refuse, even though he, Alec had expressed no desire to be with her. Later, assuming the attitude of one who took it for granted that they were to be together, he'd ask her himself. Surreptitiously watching the pair throughout the afternoon, Alec felt pretty sure that Donald had presented a proposition to Elinor for the evening. He had planned to ask Elinor on that last night to drive with him alone in the country. | And so when at last they wgere on | their way back to the hotel Alec, who , with Elinor and four others were l | occupying a sedan, turned to her and | j said,, "Are you going to be avail- ) ; able tonight, my deat?" j For a moment Elinor hesitated, ] : glancing toward the front seat where ' sat Donald Moore. Then she smiled and shook her head. "No, Alec," I she said, "I'm not." I Alec knew. instantly that those j vague doubts which were provoked I by Don Moore's interest in Elinor I hadn't been real at all. Up until this very moment he hadn't suspected even remotely but what the girl loved him quite as much as hesloved . her, and that no one else mattered. | Alec's lips set rather grimly and j he turned away. Throughout the I remainder of the drive, he tried to ! be gay and light hearted, but he couldn't. And Elinor seemed to sense how he felt. There was a strange look in her own eyes, a sort of pitying lortc. t The drive ended. Alee walked op to the hotel door with Elinor, said good-by briefly and without looking at her, turned away. It seemed in that moment that he was leaving behind everything in life worth having and living for. ~ A1 Cooper paused in the telling of his tale and chuckled heartily. I looked *t him, frowning. "So that ended it, eh? Alec never did get over the fact." A1 oeased his chuckling. "He didn't have to," he said. "For later on that night Elinor called Alec on the phone and asked him over. You see, after Elinor got back to her hotel, a very startling and enlightening thought occurred to her. She leaped to her feet and rushed down to the desk clerk and asked for a dictionary.
