PEORIA, ILLINOIS Nazi Agents Bank On High Explosives Rather Than Fires Famous 'Blue Pencil' Seldom Used in Destructive Work By Agents Now The list of the tools of sabotage buried by the German saboteurs in sand of Florida's beaches above "the water line and "uncovered fey agents of the Federal Bureau of In vestigation (FBI) before the plans for using them had matured is as long as it is impressive. It is also sig nificant. The boxes contained, carefully packed in excelsior, blocks of TNT, special bombs containing a high ex plosive of great power and disguised as pieces of coal, wooden blocks con taining detonators, timing devices fuses of various kinds and, finally, small bombs in the shapes of pen and pencil sets. ? Nothinr was left in c^nce- the photographs released by the FBI show that the saboteurs were even ? quipped with rolls of electric cable, so that the purchase of such cable would not call FBI agents on their trail. It is easy to guess the use to which the saboteurs would have put this demolition equipment if they had had the chance. Water conduits were on their list, aluminum plants, bridges and railroad bridges, rail road yards and railroad terminals but mainly bridges. The bombs dis guised as pieces of coal were no doubt to be used for the demolition of railroad bridges and railroad ter minals. They probably were equip ped with time fuses, fuses that would set them off so and so minutes or hours after they had been planted. It may also be surmised that these coal-simulating bombs were filled with a special kind of high explosive presumably more powerful than The high explosive in the bombs of the saboteurs could be more power i. j j? 'l was not as safe as TNT It did not have to stand the shock o being fired from a gun, nor did i! have to stand rough handling in being transported to the battlefield or the airdrome. It was to be handled with loving care and was to be plac ed by hand in a corner where it would be effective. And if a train should pass over it, crush it and ex plode it. . . the saboteurs would have been satisfied with that, too. But there is an interesting trend discernible in the sabotage equip ment which the Nazis packed for their agents.

Many of these WPA leaners hav worked on ther farms at 50c a day, a-growin grub fer ther big salrid folks to buy cheap. Ther farmer dont pay little-wages cause he wants to; he pays it cause thats all ther fruits of ther farm fllXTY SIGE - he wants ter know. Ef you have ever heered it said that thar want no-body that was all bad; and thar want no-body that was all-good? And couldnt it a-bin said too, that thar want no-body that was always wrong; and thar want no-body that was always right? Now all that brings up ther pint thats a-pickin me on a spot I aint never hoped to be picked on; and that is, ther punctur to my full sat isfaction of a man I aint never had casion to find fault with a-fore. Thars a filler up to Washington D C name Senator Pepper, that shore has fout sum big fights, and done sum big things fer ther little fellers of his country that want big er-nuf to do fer they-selves, and 1 aint no-wise calcalatcd to crucify 'im ther fust time I ever seed 'im fall frum grace, but it shore do hurt my pride as a picker of ther perfect. Away back in ther Hoover-cart days, ef it hadnt bin fer Mr Roose velt's WPA's, thar would a-bin a bread-war in our country, and a gin eral jinin-up with any kind of "Ism" that promised re-lief. And ef it hadnt bin fer Mr Roosevelt's CCCs, thar could a-bin a fif-colum organized with erbout 50 per cent of ther youngsters of ther land. But ther WPAs and ther CCCs plugged ther scuttle and saved ther ship Hit was a linrrv-job and ther aint no hnr ry-Job ever bin done, thout some lost motion; and it shore hurts to see so good a man as Senator Pep per sling a slur at ther WPAs fer leanin on thay shovel handle. I hav seen 'em lean on it too, and I hav seen 'em sweat ther shirt clean offen thay backs. And I hav seen store clerks lean ginst ther door-post most of ther day, whilst drawin thay pay, and lettin ther store-goods rust-out fer ther want of sum cleanin, later to be handed-out to ther buyers at full price. And I hav seen Senators lollin at ther sea-shores drawin thay big pay. Sted of earnin it on ther job buekin ther Big-Boys and thay machinations. Yes, Senator; Ef you thats on pay. wouldnt it be better to start at ther top of ther cost-lad der sted of ther bottom.

On the whole, it was just like any other pay day. That "$5 until pay day" was going back to the "fellow that always has money." Retroactive to June 1, privates re ceive $50 per month, the scale pro gressing through the ranks. The new system also will aid men with dependents. ? Mowing 11 The Beit Method For Ridding Pasture of Weeds Mowing as often as necessary seems to have given the best results. Early mowing is desirable, but one mowing will not do the job. Weeds come in cycles and must be mowed several times during the growing season to prevent reseeding. The best time to mow is when the bloom first appears. At this stage the food reserve of the weeds is at its lowest point, and there is no danger of scat- . tering seed by the mowing opera tion. Hand pulling or cutting will control weeds on area which can not be reached with a mower. labor sells fer; and farm-labor has got as much right to be lifted and eased up by WPA, as Mr Green's la bor has by Wage-Hour; or Congress men has by thay own votes. And that brings in pensions, too, as many of the WPAs need a crutch to lean on, stead of a shovel, lessen thay kud swap jobs with a senator.
