Davis, former Ambassador to Sov iet Kus sia. There lias been a flood of books written about Russia in the past few years b;.' A mericans who went on “missions" to >■., t Russia. But the book that tops them all in interest, information, impressions and expla nations. and is the best slier is tl<- one wr - ten by this American diplomat. Davies jumped from private praetiv : a W'isconsin country lawyer in 11)1“ into the confidence of Woodrow Wilson, who appro. ed his energies and qualifications as sc r • tary of the Democratic National Commie e and appointed him to be the first Chairman of the Federal 1 rade Commission. But. nr - work is more important than biogra; > and judged by this new book, "Mission •> Moscow". Joe Davis knows the low-dov. i. and the facts, and trends and h • has rep or. ed them so well that those who hate read the book are unaminou. in agreeing that la “rang the bell." two great men President Roosevelt and Prime Ministei t'hurehill are in entire agreement on wai plans and both of thes,. leaders set lblo to) the end of the war. They sa\ that the ot tensive actions will be carried into eneinie. 'lands. Congress agrees with the general jam ciples at stake; nevertheless there will be ; lot of discussion over these 56 billions ot del lars. to do the job.

A< so well illustrated by General Motors the brains of the entire automobile industry are being concentrated upon winning the war. THE RAILROADS American railroads are holding their chins up and they show that they have suc ee-rfull\ handled the greatest volume ot passenger and freight transportation in their history during the past year The rail lines handled the oil shortage that was alleged to have threatened the Eastern Seaboard. Diesel engines, air conditioning, more el. i cient management and service are all legacies that the railroads inherited from the motor industry and highway builders. Transporta tion on land and sea has actually been made over and modernized since mass product ion gave us the automobile age this twentieth .-entury.

Everyone gets all the br id: and potatoes he needs, but the al-J lowances of meat, cheese, “ggs, butter, lard, milk and vegetables is very limited. People doing extra heavy work get extra rations, and children and nursing mothers get all the fresh milk. A fine system ‘ has been developed in the commu nity feeding centers where people can get a meal for 18 or 20 cents, in our money, or free if tl ey, haven’t the money. Probably some of the really poor people are get ting a better share of the total food supply under today’s war time rations than they were nrev 1 iously under their own peacetime needs. "Xo body is starving in Britain but there is not nearly enough i high-energy food for best work. !

Give us the meat, and we will increase our product ion 15 to 20 per cent. "An American research doctor pointed out the large number of people on the streets who wort small bandages and said: 'They kick vitamin kjous. it tney receive a scratch, it doesn’t 'heal rapidly. You might scratch your hand, and in a day or two it would be healed but with them it takes a couple of weeks, “No one knows of course, how the war will end. 1 am filled with (admiration for the brave spirit of the British people. Nevertheless we must recognize that they - and the entire fight for freedom - are dependent upon the production of our farms and factories over here. Our farm defense program is all important. We must send supplies. We represent their hope for peace and victory. If we should let then down, not only would we endanger our own future and the future 1 f world democracy, but also we would be letting down one of the most courageous people the world has ever seen.” son County courthouse, Roxboro. : Parrish said that egg shows are being held at each of the short courses and prixes are being of fered for the best exhibits of a , dozen brown eggs and a dozen white eggs.

QUESTION—Much is written and said about the importance of Vitamin G or viboflavin in a potil uy ration. What are the chief sources of this important vitamin ? ANSWER—In poultry feeds, the principal carriers of Vitamin G are milk by products, dried liver meal, alfalfa products, succulent j green feed, yeast and alcoholic .iistillers' by products, the last mentioned offering an excellent opportunity from the standpoint if Vitamin G to compensate G n the loss of milk products. Roy Dearstyne, head of the college poultry department, explains that V itamin G is essential for growth,| lixability and reproduction of the fowl. QUESTION- Is there any such disease of cattle as “hollow tail” or “hollow horn?” | ANSWER—To many who have asked this question, Fred M. Ilaig, professor of animal husbandry and dairying, has answered an em phatic ‘no”. He says some people have been known to split the tail and bore holes in the horns of a sick cow, supposed to have an im aginary disease called hollow tail” or “hollow horn.” This is su perstition belonging to the Dark Ages, Professor Haig says, is ter ribly cruel, and should never be practiced. QUESTION—Will any new farm machinery be available in 1U42? ANSWER—David S. Weaver, ag ricultural engineer, says some new farm machinery will be available in l'J42, but the supply will not be nearly as much as the denmand. For this reason, he is urging far mers to repair as much of their present equipment as possible and to take good care of what they have on hand. Also he is urging that all scrap iron and steel be col lected and sold to junk dealers. ADMINISTRATORS NOTICE Having qualified as Administra tor of the Estate of Ovid W.
