Farm Machinery Dealers
Need Orders For Parts
Farmers are being advised fto
order repair parts (of their trac
ers, . plows, and ether, machines at
the earliest possible - moment.
The Office of 1 'reduction Mail
aut'iiie.nt is prepared 'to give farm
machinery nianufacuirers priority
on metals,, but: not . until , they rer
ceive : orders from 4 heir dealers,
Lacked by bona-fide orders from
consumers. .
Therefore, farmers must deter
mine now what parts they need to
pin their machines in good order
.for the 1941 , season. Then, they,
must place their orders . immedia
tely for these parts..
. In -the "Food for Freedom" pro
gram farmers must produce more
food with fewer men. "Greatly in
creased use of farm machinery is
indicated. To meet the demand for
new 'machines would require the
manufacture' of 20 to: 25 percent
more tractors, plows, combines, -etc.
There is Only enough metal avail
able' for 75 to 80 percent as many
farm inachines as were manufac
tured last year, even with priori
tics on metals.' This shortage must
be made up by' better, use of all
all present, machines.

Washington, D. C On the home
and military fronts the American-
' Red Cross is turning it's focus on
J the man in uniform. In his beihalf,
more than 10,000 nurses are being
' recruited. Volunteers are donating
I their bipod for a huge plasma
bank. Red Cross women in, chapters
throughout the country are mak
ing 40,000,000 surgical dressings, and
knitting sweaters for men in out
lying posts and sailors on patrol.
But these are jut fragments of
the story. In military and naval
stations, the Red Cross is concern
ing itself with the personal prob
lems of the service man, helping
him adjust himself to military life.
For the disabled, the Red Crosg Is
o,n the Job in service hospitals,
helping to speed recovery of the
sick through a morale-building pro
gram. ...
In moblizing a 2,000,000-man
i fighting force, the personal prob
lems of the. able-bodied man in
uniform have in. turro become prob
1 lems of the morale divisions. Red
I Cross field directors stationed in
I all camps and reservations have
! been entrusted with the task of
helping to solve these problems.
Speaking in a nation-wide broad
cast recently, Chief, of Staff Mar
shall, of the Army, addressed the
following words to Red Cross field
directors : " I
"When you help straighten out
any of the great variety of tangles
that ihuman beings seem unable to
avoid, you are helping to mainr
tain morale on the home front and
on the military , front ; you are
helping us in training for defense,"
The disabled man in a service
hospital also can look to the Red
Cross for help in speeding recov
ery. Medical-social workers, 'train
ed for their . specialized assign- '
ment, are On duty at Army gen
eral and Navy hospitals to aid
service physicians, to act as a
medium of communication with . the
families of hospitalized men and
to conduct recreational programs
for convalescents.
Deserters Lose Citizenship
As Well As Suffer
Serious Consequences
General J. Van B. Metts, State
Director of Selective Service, an
nounced today that under the pro
visions of Federal law, all persons '
who desert the military service in
time of war are deemed to have
voluntarily relinquished .' and for
feited their rights of citizenship,
as well as their rights to become
citizens.
Such deserters are forever in
capable of holding any office of
trust or profit under the United
States or exercising any rights of
citizens thereof.
General Metts further stated
that, in view, of the serious con
sequences of desertion in time of
war, it is to be hoped that all
selectees on leave from their or
ganization will not let anything
whatever interfere with their re
porting back for duty on the day
required.

A Message
Advertisers
to oor
and Subscribers
War conditions are imposing new responsi
bilities upon every business as well as every
individual.
Our sons are answering the call of their
country by enlisting in the armed forces to de
fend America on every front. They must submit
to the strict discipline of military life to prepare
them to meet danger and attain victory.
Less evident, but equally important, is the
necessity for keeping the home front mobilized.
Every business must keep going as normally as
possible in the face of new difficulties, since it
is taxes paid on earnings of business that must
provide for the soldiers at the front . . and
win the war.
...' ' ' , ''..
Along with every other business the news
paper faces rising prices, shortage of vital ma
terials and personnel shortage.
Every community must organize to meet
the enemy by combining forces and cooperat
ing for a solid front. i
Instead of advertising from the standpoint
of a plentiful market, retail stores must keep
their business on a paying basis by mforaiing
the buying public of available goods and aiding
wise selection.
We request our subscribers to read adver
tisements carefully ... . and to support home
business as a part of their patriotic duty. . . A
dollar you spend at home will help your neigh
bor and you as well.

This newspaper, like all newspapers, is de
pendent upon advertising to live. The more ad
vertising space we can sell the more news we
can report.
We shall strive to keep you informed with
local and world news.
We are prepared to be the medium of in
formation for our advertisers with a thorough
circulation coverage of the county.
Together we can strengthen Home Defenses
and Help Win the War. .
