Wlckard today called on American farmers to invest all "extra" dollars in War Bonds during the Sixth War Loan beginning Novem ber 20 as an 'effective step in postwar planning" for rural America. Directing his appeal "To the Farm People of America." Secretary Wick ard said, "the farm people of this country have an outstanding war rec ord. "It still takes a lot of money to finance the war. even though we are winning. The tingle task of supplying the Pacific theater is a tremendous undertaking. Add to that the equip ment which was needed on the inva sion coast of France, the supplies that are required now to knock oown the walls of Hitler's Germany, and the total is staggering. So our job here at home is by no means over, just as the war on the fighting front isn't over Our homefront responsibility is two fold: One is to stick to our job and do it well until total victory is won; the other is to buy War Bonds "The farm people of this country have an outstanding war record. They have achieved a production miracle in the face of wartime difficulties Their band-buying record is good. too. as in dicated by the fact that farmers and their families purchased more than one and a quarter billion dollars' worth of bonds in 1M3. This figures out at about 16 per cent of their net income. 'This Sixth War Loan campaign is the biggest yet for agriculture, but never before has agriculture had so Imany dollars that could be put into War Bands. The record production of fanners, coupled with favorable com modity prices, has pushed their income I 9 to an all-time high level. The in i vestment of those extra, inflationary dollars in War Bonds would be the moot effective step in postwar planning Rural America could take "Stake your share in the future? dan your stake in the war." t?og's Prestige At a New High Canines Win Added Respect For Contribution On W ar Front And Home Front After 30 months of war the pres ti ;e of the dog in America is at a r. w high, states a report of the Gaines Dog Research Center. New York City. Principal reason for this, of course, is the outstanding contribution made by dogs on every front where Amer icans are fighting. They serve in many branches of the armed services?as sentry and attack dogs, messenger dogs, scout dogs. Red Cross dogs, sledge dogs and pack dogs. Already many of the dogs have given their lives in the performance of their du ti s and in order to save the lives of the men to whom they were assigned. Bub America's dogs are serving their country equally well on the home front. Their companionship is a stimulus to morale in the home. They are helping fill that empty place in the family circle, and they are protecting homes from which men have gone to war. An estimated 15 million dogs are in America's homes today. Just how integral a part of the home the dog has become .is indi cated in a recent survey which j showed that 42 per cent of America's i HOW DOGS SERVE IN WARTIME As stnfHts As Bed Grass a/dr and as mesttnqtn,scoots, s/edft and W Z 1 " I As home guards As companions CAIHES DOT IWUM CEHTB1 dog owners feel their dogs mean more today than they did in peace time, in addition to 50 per cent who said they had not changed their j opinion Of their dogs. The same sur vey also sought to find out what owners would do if the production of dog foods were cut down. Fifty-eight per cent of the dog owners questioned said they would share the family ra tions with their dog. and an addi tional 33 per cent said they would keep their dog and make the best of it. Only an infinitesimal six-tenths of one per cent of dog owners said they would dispose of their dog. America's experience with dogs as a morale factor closely parallels that of wartime England. After the war broke out in 1939, the British dis couraged the keeping of canine pets. The undesirable effect this action had on the nation's morale?the British, like the Americans, are a great dog loving people?soon led to a reversal of policy, and tcday the keeping of dogs in the British Isles is not only encouraged but their required food is specially provided for. ??-Bonds Over America PORTLAND MUSEUM Hugh McLellan built the Sweat Mansion at Portland, Maine, in 1800. General Joshua Wingate, son-in-law of President Jefferson's Secretary of War, General Henry Dearborn, lived there. When Mrs. L. D. M.

In its Mu nicipal Art Gallery hang Gilbert Stu art's portrait of General Wingate, Douglas Volk's portrait of President Lincoln and other notable works. De fenses set up by U.

Accompanied by tlx attractive high achool girls. whom he terms hia "Bevy of Bond Boosters, '* Carl has started a round of schools, clubs, industries and community bond rallies, which will keep him busy throughout the drive.

"Hell's An gels." which downed 18 German fighter flanes in 48 missions over occupied Europe. Said to be a spellbinder. Carl "sells" his audience thoroughly at every ap pearance.

LOOKING AHEAD iy george s. benson \frctidtHt-J(anUHf ColUge ^ Seartf, Jtka>uai Citizenship A farmer of my acquaintance has a knife he wouldn't sell for a ran som, although he is not wealthy. The knife is of a kind that could !be manufactured in quantity to re tail for less than two dollars. Tha farmer's son took it from a Jap in a hand-to-hand fight. Wounds the boy received however left him maimed for life. The father prizes the trophy for its cost, not its worth. One of the strangest quirks of hu man nature is the hook-up between cost and value. People so often ap preciate things according to what they cost instead of according to what they are worth. A man who falls heir to a fortune without effort is much more liable to squander than his neighbor who may have ac quired a similar amount the hard way; his wealth cost him too little. A Thing of Value It's like American citizenship, a thing of great value that costs too little. The fee exacted from an im migrant when he "tal es out his papers" is not a drop in the sea com pared to what he gets. Moreover, the vast majority of Americans ac quired citizenship rights with their first conscious breath. We grew up with citizenship. We have always had it and consequently don't appre ciate it as we should. .You may have read stories of how British citizenship, about the time America was being colonized, was keenly coveted by noble Huguenots who fled France as refugees. Al most everybody in Christendom is familiar with New Testament ac counts of how Saul of Tarsus' life was spared more than once because he, although an Israelite, was born a privileged citizen of Rome. Ail Expensive Item Roman citizenship in Bible times could be bought, and it cost a great price. It had a great value, too, but it wasn't worth nearly as much as our American citizenship, that costs so little. I think everybody in the United States ought to be educated for citizenship. Not many are, ei ther natives or naturalized citizens. Not everybody needs a college de gree but everybody needs to appre ciate his freedom. Americans were conscious of their citizenship for a long time back of a century ago. Government held the spotlight of youth's attention. In the last hundred years, however, inven tion has intrigued the interest of more and more American boys. Un fortunately a keen interest in some thing spells relative indifference to something else, and engineering has hid government in almost total eclipse. History's Very Heart John Tyler was President a cen tury ago. In 1844 Louisa M. Alcott was ten, enjoying the placid child-. hood she so beautifully preserved in print- But wait ... the people, were agog that year at the world's first telegraph line, one ticker in Washington and another in Balti more. Little boys were eagerly flat tening their noses against window panes to see that new invention, a bicycle, pass by. These five generations of high, sci entific achievement are not to be despised. In them, our wage levels and national income have made America the envy of a mercenary world. But the foundation for all this was laid between George Wash ipgton's day and John Tyler's. The science of self government must regain its rightful place in the field of learning if we Americans are to hold up our living standards. Our youth must better appreciate the rights and privileges of citizen sfiip, its cost and its value.
