Japs Land Reinforcements In Solomon Islands Area (Continued from Page One) Japanese surface vessels having been engaged by American ships during their bombardment. The seriousness with which the Navy viewed the enemy’s latest maneuvers was emphasized by the speed with which they were an nounced. Almost invariably in the past, activities in the Solomons have not been disclosed until at least two or three days after they occurred. Moreover, the Japanese activi ties of themselves contained a grim new significance not hereto fore attached to their movements in the Southwest Pacific archipel ago. So far as has been announced they have not heretofore succeed ed in actually bombarding the air field and main installations in the American portion of the island, al though there have been sporadic attempts to do so by submarines and occasional destroyers. Another fact which the commu nique made clear was that the troops landed this morning came from transports covered by naval units which undoubtedly meant the Japanese got not only men but also artillery and supplies ashore. i Lack of artillery is reported to I have been one of their main weak nesses. Some previous landings had been made from transports, frequently against American aerial oppo sition. But most of the men sent ashore by the enemy in the two months since the Marines invaded, Kryl Symphony Concert Tickets For! Sale Now at T. \V. P. Co., Office.! the Solomons had been landed in small groups from barges and sim ilar light craft. While the Navy made no inter pretation of the facts reported, it was obvious that the Japanese had rallied their forces for a major effort to crush the American of fensive in the Solomons. Their first objective in such an undertaking would be destruction and capture of the Marine base on Guadal canal. It seemed certain therefore that a major battle on land and possi bly at sea was impending. Only yesterday the Navy had re ported that an American cruiser destroyer task force had been sent into the area last week-end for the specific purpose of preventing fresh Jap reinforcements from reaching Guadalcanal. That force engaged an enemy transport force guarded by cruis ers and destroyers Sunday night and caused heavy damage. The American surface ships s a n k a heavy cruiser, four destroyers and an enemy transport. Aircraft from Guadalcanal, chasing the fleeing Japs the next day, damaged a cruiser and damaged and prob ably sank another destroyer. The Japanese now have come back boldly in the face of such effective American resistance to attack the airfield and shore in stallations and to land more troops. Naval observers gthered from this prompt counterattack that the Japanese intended to lose little time in pressing their campaign to a conclusion. f^AMONG AMERICAS GREAT WHISKIES BOJTLED \ IN ) BOND / 5th ANNIVERSARY SPECIALS * * 6-Pc.

The owner will be given a receipt and he will receive a check, or War Bonds and stamps, if he desires, in payment shortly after the tires have been inspected at the warehouse for determina tion of their value. In areas where Railway Express does not main tain pick-up service, the tire owner must take his idle tires to the near est agency office.

Lack of “bulk” one of common causes Don’t be surprised if you feel all bogged down these war days! Look at how you live! Longer hours, harder work, irregu lar meals—your whole way of living’s been upset. Specially eating habits. Meals are apt to be hurried, improp erly balanced—and the important mat ter of bulk neglected. And lack of “bulk” is one of the com mon causes of constipation! Medicinal laxatives give only temporary relief be cause they don’t get at the cause. The answer to this kind of trouble is drinking plenty of water and eating a crisp, golden cereal — Kellogg’s all-bran.

What youngster hasn't seen them In his dreams? To the great candy industry of America, corn syrup is a necessary ingredient. Used in other foods as well as candy, it contributes much to the energy and nutrition of the nation. Many millions of pounds of corn syrup are produced each year by Anheuser Busch for manufacturers of many essential products. Our Corn Products Division is an industry in itself. Year after year, we have striven with research and resources to better the methods and facilities for brewing Budweiser. To do this, a laboratory specializing in fermentol ogy and nutrition was necessary. Discoveries made in the laboratory and in the plant have led to the development of products contributing to human necessity and progress. Some of these products would appear to have only a remote relationship to brewing, yet, they are the result of scientific research into many allied fields. Endless research in making the world’s leading beer has led to other products VITAMINS, B COMPLEX—For manufacturers of pharmaceutical and food products. Our plant is one of the world’s largest sources. VITAMIN D—Anheuser-Busch produces enough of the basic material for Vitamin D to supply the entire American market. BAKER’S YEAST—We are one of America’s biggest suppliers of standard and enriched yeasts and malt syrup used to make bread. SYRUPS-—for food, table and confectionery uses and special syrups for medicinal purposes. STARCH for food, textile, paper and other in dustries—millions of pounds annually. VITAMINS FOR LIVESTOCK—We are America’s biggest supplier of yeast vitamins used to fortify animal feeds. REFRIGERATING EQUIPMENT—for retailers of frozen foods and ice cream the country over. This division is now working all-out on glider wing and fuselage assemblies for our Armed F orces. —Adolphus Busch, founder of Anheuser-Busch, acquired the first rights to manufacture this revolutionary engine in America and thus started our great Diesel in dustry on its way.
