Reading a book on a subject is not to become an expert on the subject. One good thing about the advice that editors pass out, nobody has to take it. The finest sermons are seen, not heard; they live in the lives of men and women. World trade, if it ever returns to normal, ought to be a blessing to all peoples. China has been fighting Japan for three years; here's good luck to the Chinese. There are those who believe in democracy only when the majority is on their side. Some people think they become ex perts on any subject if they read a book about it. Misrepresentation flourishes be cause there are fools who believe anything they hear. A woman is busy when she hasn't time to attend a party, or a bridge game. In the present world a volunteer system is about as out of date as the bow and arrow. Japan is about to extend the peace of the Pacific by gobbling the Dutch East Indies. If human beings knew half what they think they know the world would be much better. If this country ever gets into a war it should not depend upon the French policy of defense. Never pay any attention to politi cal gossip that must be peddled in whispers and on a basis of confidence. I Practically every big busing j man can tell you why his industry should be exempt from the war profits tax. Low interest, we think, is destined to be the rule in this nation and it is a good thing for the average citizen Just about the time that the aver age man in Farmvilie learns to get along with his fellow-man, he dies. ;-p Advertising is like fishing; you must use the right bait at the right place and at the right time to ex pect results. You can sometimes persuade a man who is interested in the truth; you can do nothing with the man who knows it. ( One trouble with a vacation is that you lose so much time, after you get back-home, .recuperating from the vacation. We cannot recall where compul sory military service, during the World War, caused the death of American liberties. ' I World power, we suspect, in future years will belong to the nation that has the warships to deliver the heavi est- broadside. ??????? The United States will he able to boast of prosperity when workers re port increased pay without requests to the management. The only rival to war communi v qoea is the preliminary reports from I the campa of boxers, preparing to fight tor the championship. , # Contrary to what many people sup poss this hosmsss ccf wntho^ msny columns rego^y^ s pil^ the the coun - - ? ?I3?S9H i TRAINED HEN FOR * DEFENSE. Arms are worthless unless a na tion has trained men to use tfc< machines of war. : I The 110,000,000,000 that the Unit led States is spending to secure thi [national defense means nothing un [leas, at the same time, the natioi | trains enough men to handle th< [guns, etc., that may be needed. The bill now before Congress U [provide for a limited selective ser vice draft is designed to assure ar [adequate supply of trained soldiers [it is, in our opinion, better than nc [such statute although not as broac [in its application as it should be. The United States may come tc the place where it will draft, not onlj the men between the ages of 21 an<3 31, but those of all ages and, in addi [tion, the entire resources of the na ?jtion. The international situation is - [ such that the possible enemies oi this country threaten to multiply. The present authorized strength of ! [ the Army, as provided in recent 1 j months, is 375,000. A year ago the authorized strength was 210,000. A [year ago the Army had 175,000 men ; [and it has recruited about 95,000 I since June 30, 1939; Without a J compulsory service law it will take the Army several- months, or maybe [until some time in 1941, to reach the 375,000 level. It should be understood, however, that if this country becomes involved in a major war, during the next four J or five years, before the two-ocean [Navy stand guard over our shores, [the Army that the nation will need I may exceed the 375,000, plus the [National Guard. It is a good idea to have the men trained so that they | will be available if needed, even if we continue to hope that they will not be required to serve the country. PROFITS AND NATIONAL DEFENSE. Industrialists desire assurance that plant expansion investments can be [charged off, within a reasonable period of years, 'in connection with the taxes that they must phy the [government. This may be sound but, [it seems, that if total costs "Wet Weather is just ahead, you - know, and slippery roads demand ^ tires that will stop, for safety's soke. . Skids are the first cause of a ma > jority of accidents.. 1 "We are interested in putting good tires on cars now, when they > can he seasoned well, so- in cool r weather they will provide up to 20 I per cent more mileage than if they ? had been applied during the extreme ly hot weather, i "We are. ready and willing to " make inspections of anyone's tires to be sure they are highway safe. ' And there is no obligation involved. ; America's motoring death toll can i be cut drastically by adoption of safety measures and good tife equip t ment is a logical place, at which to i start." New, high-producing hybrid chick ens, bred by methods now commonly practiced in the growing of corn hy brids, have been announced by a corn company of Des Moines, Iowa. ODD JOB . ... * .?? ? v.' Dubuque, Iowa. ? Dan Smothers and Charles Davis have an odd avoca tion, but they like it and are good at it They collected a total of 140 rat tlesnakes and received a bounty of 25 cents for each set of rattles de livered at the county auditor's of ice. Figure it up for yourself. When nature throws a hurricane at humanity men stand aside. . Personally, we know few house wives ^ho are not overworked. "Build-Up" Relief Explained to Women A simple method has saved many women a lot of suffering! It is based on the fact that head aches, nervousness, cramp-Hkepain are often symptoms of functtonol dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition. Help for this condition eo often . I follows the use ef CABDUI, be- ! cause it usually increases the ap petite and the flow of gastric Juice; thus aids digestion and helps build physical resistance. Usual result is less periodic distress. Many who take CABDUI a few days before and during "the time" have found this helps ease periodic discomfort Women have need CABDUI for more than 50 years 1 NOTICE OK SALE OP LAND BY TOWN OF .
