CLASSIFIED DISPLAY TRADE-IN YOUR OLD PIANO ON A FAMOUS NEW BALDWIN COMPLETE LINE ALL STYLES Liberal Trade-In Allowance Low Down Payment EASY TERMS BALDWIN PIANO STORE 418 No. Front St. Dial 9400 Champion Tulip Grower Raises Flowers For Fun By JIM HENDRICKSON POPLAR BLUFF, Mo., Apr. 30 —UP!—You’d think a man with 18, 000 tulip bulbs — 625 varieties — would get in the business. But not Fred Barchers. He’s nev er sold one and says he never will. “Flowers,” he explained, “a r e made to look at — to enjoy. When you pick them you ruin them.” Barchers, disabled veteran of the first World War, receives a pen sion that provides him with the necessities. Five years ago, at Reno, Ark., groping for something to do, he decided on growing tulips —his favorite flower. The thousands of bulbs he col lected in the ensuing years came from all sections of the nation— led him to lay claim to the title, “world’s champion tulip grower.” But it seemed a shame, letting the beauty of his expansive gar dens wilt away, unnoticed except by a few flower lovers in the small community. / So Barchers dug up his bulbs last year and transplanted them to a farm five miles west of Pop lar Buff—simply because he want ed to be near a larger town where more could join him in enjoying the fruits of his toil. “You get great joy out of grow ing flowers,” he said, “but your greatest kick is in seeing them ap preciated by others. Some 5,0 0 0 people came to my tulip farm this year. It’s a shame they don’t last longer, but about a week ends their beauty.” Barchers’ current crop of blooms is almost gone. Another season will find him tripling the space alloted to the bulbs. Again, there’ll be thousands of waxlike, multi-colored tulips—but none for sale, none to be plucked from their slender stems. “Flowers,” the gardener repeat ed. “when you pick them, you ruin them.’” -V Rifle Firing Dates Set At Camp Davis There will be rifle firing on the small arms firing range south of Camp Davis from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m.

Apr. 30— UPI — Radio and newspaper appeals opened a treasury campaign to night to sell $600,000,000 of war bonds in May—the first “q u ota sales” in the United Stales since World War I. Departing from the practice of simply making general appeals for bond purchases, the treasury set yriou evenniyt etaoin shrdlu shrn every county in the coun try a definite minimum quota for May. The total compares with monthly average sales of $437,951. 243 between July 1941 and Jan uary 1942, inclusive. The campaign, in compliance with President Roosevelt’s ‘‘share the war program, is the first step in efforts to boost monthly war bond sales to $1,000,000,000 begin ning in July. The June quotas will be $800,000,000. To launch the new quota drive, the treasury enlisted all of the 87 radio stations in the country as well as newspapers and magazines and billboards to carry the mes sage that ‘‘your quota is 10 per cent.” This referred to the suggestion of the treasury that everyone try to put 10 per cent of his regular pay check into war bonds. As the campaign warms up, more pretentious spectacles ar e planped. For instance, Gary, Ind., will start off tomorrow with a war bond parade led by film actress Dorothy Lamour and Army and Navy forces. Similar parades and rallies in the following days include events May 5 at Cleveland and Chatta nooga. The same night. New Or leans will have a community sing for the benefit of war bonds. Sports figures including J ack Dempsey, former heavyweight box ing champion and political lead ers, including Wendell Willkie, also will make appearances in various cities in behalf of the campaign. Committees in the various coun ties have been asked to erect giant thermometers in public places to illustrate progress toward meeting quotas. Prepared articles have been sent out to newspapers il lustrating the types of war weap ons that will be purchased with the proceeds of the bonds. Special music and speeches have been lined up for both local and net work radio programs. In the continental United States, every state except sparsely settled Nevada, had a quota of more than $1,000,000 for May, New York led the list with a goal of $125,000,000. Nevada’s quota was $580,600. Quotas were alloted, too, to Alas ka, Hawaii, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. There was no quota for Corregi dor island, but the Navy sent word to Secretary of the Treasury Mor genthau today that its forces in the Manila bay area had bought $407, 000 worth, and were still buying. The Treasury estimated that more than 500,000 persons would participate in promoting the cam paign, nearly all of them unpaid volunteers. In some states, com mitteemen and women will go from house to house urging people to sign pledges to buy bonds, but not actually taking sales orders. -V_ CAMP DAVIS VOLLEY FIRE PASSES FOR DANCES The medical detachment of the station hospital held a dance the other day. Lest such goings on affect civilian morale, the married men who attended were required to get permission from their wives. One sergeant wrote airmail to his wife in Texas for the neces sary pass. He got it, all right, but during the dance he merely stood to one side and watched his friends have a good time. Noble fellow. Counter-attack A writer in the Holly Ridge Barrage, camp paper, one week made a slighting reference to the Brooklyn Dodgers, National league baseball champions. This week two of his colleagues on the paper ad vised him to look at the standings. We looked at them, too. HARD WORKER Hq. and Hq. Battery, Camp Davis, possesses a corporal with a different kind of record. Marvin Vickery has had exactly one half day off mot counting Sundays and holidays) in two and a half years of army life. He took Saturday morning off, once, a SYNTHETIC, NO DOUBT Comment from the 85th in the camp paper: “Private Ricci’s doughnuts would make swell tires for scout cars. He asked us would we like to have seconds. Smile when you say that, brother.” GRIM TRAGEDY Men in the Officer Candidate school must always be shined and polished to the nth degree. And so must the plumbing fixtures. 'Thus it was truly a tragedy when one candidate, shining shower faucets just before falling out for thejfirst class of the day, turned the .now er on himself.
