For example, there is now a record breaking number of animals on the farm ? cattle, hogs, chickens and turkeys. The business organizations of the farmers, such as marketing co-ops, which follow production and consum er trends, can render the individual farmer service as never before in aiding him with production and market ing information which it would be impossible for him to pTovide for himself. Particularly in the dairy and cat tle industry will intelligent group action be essential to stabilization of output and income. ooo BLACK MAGIC American industry has never been stagnant. It is so busy supplying the needs of the people that it often fails to tell its achievements that make this nation a con stantly better place in which, to live. How many people know that research in bituminous coal combustion has resulted in at least two innovations which may be widely utilized after the war/ One of these is a smokeless type stove designed for bituminous coal. Another is a new style mechanical stoker which comes under the classification of fully automatic. Here is an industry which is steadily improving the efficiency of the product it sells. In order to increase i its output, it strives to reduce unit consumption and thereby broaden its potential markets. The coumumer benefits from this spirit of initiative in a progressive industry that seeks to keep abreast of the times and meet competitive conditions. ooo ONE LAW FOB ALL NEEDED Present Federal law requires the transportation of a vast government traffic at half the rates paid by ordi nary phijjpers. THits (reduction in rates, required on account of land .grants made to a small mileage of pioneer railroads more than three-quarters of a centry ago, has become, under present conditions, a source of discrimination against ordinary shippers ? the very sort of discrimina tion which is otherwise prohibited as rebating. It has become, also, a source of discrimination and injustice as between those shippers so situated that they can do business wit,h the government 011 reduced land grant rates, and shippers who cannot. It has become a source of confusion and uncertainty among shippers and- railroads as to the application of rates, and in accounting and taxation. It Has become, finally, an unjust burden upon rail roads, more than 90 per cent of which never received any of the land granted, and all of which, collectively, have already repaid to the government, in reduced transportation charges, far more than the total value ?f all, 'the land granted. H.R. 4184, a bill introduced in Congress by Represen jtative Boren of Oklahoma, proposes to repeal the re quirement of land grant reduction in transportation charges, and so put an end to these discriminations, con fusions and injustices. The bill is endorsed not only by shippers and carriers Virtually without exception, but also by those agencies of government created to deal with transportation broad ly in the public interest ? the Interstate Commerce Com mission, the Office of Defense Transportation, the Bu reau of Investigation and Research, and the National Association of Railroad and Utility Commissioners rep resenting the regulatory bodies of 46 state*. In favoring repeal of these inequitable railroad rates, the late Joseph B. Eastman, director of the Office of De fense Transportation, said: "The government ought to pay the same rates for carriage of traffic as are paid by its own citizens, who really made up the country. If you analyze this down far enough, the land grant reduc tions, to my mind, are really a burden upon the citizens of the country generally, because there is an obligation on their part to provide adequate earnings for the rail roads Government should ask for no special privileges which the law denies to the people. 000 [When you can impress others without even trying, that's personality. ? 000 We don't have to wait until any particular season to can a certain brand of sour grapes. OOO Goebels promises the German "trump cards" when the invasion comes ? forgetting that there is no tramp when the deuce is wild. woo r? Another American flyer passed the number of planes shot down byEddie Rickenbacker. The cards are stack: ' ?d against the Germans wiQ? the Aces running wild. THE LOW DOWH <7 front HICKORY GROVE I have been reading where somebody here and there is los I lng 10U dollars or 300 dollars^ every day or so ? leaving it in an unlocked car or misplacing it somehow or oth er. As she looks to me, this is Just another ar gument (or a sales tax. It money is so plentiful that people can kick it around, then Uncle Sam just Jo Serra as wen oe getting ms cut OI 11. That Old Boy certainly could use It. Any time anybody 1b carrying 200 ox 300 dollar in bis Jeans, he is carrying too much. The sate place for that much nioney is either in a bank or in a war bond, and it it' is In a war bond, then the bond should be in the bank, too. And white we are on banks, you will go a long ways betore you will And any place where they have more alert em ployes, and where you get nicer treatment. If you have a hundred dollar bond or a few 20 dollar bills un der the mattress or in a fruit jar, you better take heed and go on down to the bank with them. No banker is paying me a nickel for writing this, but I think it is time somebody gave these boys a kind word, and a boost, so I do so. Tours with the low down, JO SERRA. MRS.
