She said it with flowers as she silently handed him a begonia. The way to acquire what you want is to use that which you have. Your library will supply you with any kind of book except a pocket book. Women will make up 30 percent of the labor force in war industries this year, it is estimated. * The national parks yielded 6,473, 866 pounds of scrap metal in 1942, or enough to fill more than 75 freight cars A professor of animal husbandry claims to have found a way to de odorize the goat. He must be kid ding. Hunters are expected to add 136 million pounds of meat to the na tion's food supply in the next 12 months. About 300 war plants in the United States help to produce the 45,000 dif ferent parts in a heavy bomber and the 40,000 parts in every tank. Eliminating use of asbestos tex tiles in unnecessary products will save approximately 750,000 pounds of these textiles for war purposes. The armed forces will enroll 70,000 young men a month out of about 1,200,000 who reach the age of 18 this year, according to estimates. American Indians have sent more than 11,000 men to war, out of a population of about 400,000, creating a manpower shortage on reserva tions. In England, all women from 18 to 45 must register for war services, and single women and widows with out children, between 20 and 30, are subject to draft. If prices of civilian goods - are held to present control levels until January 1, 1944, consumers will have saved an average of $170 for every man, woman and child in the coun try. Government expenditures for war purposes during November amounted to twice the total value of all the passenger cars and motor trucks produced in the Unted States in 1940. The number of women employed in the nondurable goods industries increased during our first year of war by 110/KM)—largely in ammuni tion and explosive plants—while the number of men decreased by 34,000. It takes 70 to 80 million board feet of lumber annually to provide splints for 276 billion boxed matchwt used in the United States, and 500 tons of steel each year go into the tiny steel staples of book matches, of which we consume 225 billions. * ★ What If ou buy lifiik WAR BONDS ★ ★ Barbed wire used by Uncle Sam's flghtfag forces is vastly different from that used on American farmi.

Nearly everybody knows how pigeons are uled in modern warfare for auxiliary communications and for pilots of airplanes whoae radios go wrong. Parachute troops and military in telligence agents also need the courageous feathered messengers. Very few are downed by gun fire, the sergeant says, but a good many are killed by hawks and cats. He declares that with the best of food and care a pigeon will serve the Army and the na tion for as long aa 10 years. Bronkhorst is equally enthusi astic in his work as an instructor in bayonet practice. He acquired his skill with the steel weapon while serving in the Dutch army and majored in its use in the A. E. P. He is especially proud of his bayoneteers in the squads at Fort Sam Houston. i* ..... . 4 -0. 8. STOMAL CORPS PHOTO. S«rft. Afoat Bronkkorit I have never teen anything like them, be says. These men are jo«t superior, and that'* all there la to it. I've seen bayonet fight ers of all races hot none will be able to stand up against these American boys. Boldiers from the farms, adept in handling the pitchfork, are handy with the bayonet bat ha i singlet oat the Pennsylvsnians for the highest praise.

To Deduct Victory Tax on This Week's Payrolls Washington, Dec. 30.—The Treas ury, it was learned authoritatively today, has ruled that the new Victory tax must be withheld from all wages and salaries paid in January, even though part or all of the money was earned this month. In other words, a man paid monthly on the first of the month will find a Victory tax nick taken out of his pay envelope this Friday, despite the fact that he worked for the money in December. The same is true of all salaries paid on Fri day. The Treasury ruling was based on the language of the law which says "there shall be levied, collected and paid for each taxable year begin ning after Dec. 31, 1942, a Victory tax of 5 per cent. Upon the Victory tax net income of every individual." Wages and salaries received in 1943 are to be considered "income" for 1943 under the ruling, regardless of the period in which they were earned. Two members of the Senate Fi nance Committee, active in the draft ing of the new tax bill, declared the ruling ran counter to Congres sional intent. "It was the intention of Congress, I know, to base the tax on 1943 earnings," said Senator Byrd (D Va.) "I'd be in favor of clarifying it, and applying the tax to income earned in the next year. Suppose a man was paid his income on a quarterly basis, and received a quar ter's income next month." Senator Danaher (R-Comn.) said there was "no slightest doubt" that the act provides that the Victory tax withholding deduction from sal aries should apply to income com mencing Jan. 1943. "The apparent incongruity be tween the act and the I^paaur^ ruling which calls for a deduction on income received, even though not earned, in January, may be justi fied only on grounds of expediency; ' he said. "First, the withholding tax, in part at least, represents an approxi- J iiiation which will be averaged out over a year's time. I "And again, most wage earners are on a cash basis anyhow and at the end of the life of (he tax, will receive the advantage of no with holding from moneys earned before the expiration of the act "One solution lies in getting paid Dec. 31 for moneys earned in De cember.'' Some government departments, it was learned, plan^ip* make such a' pay split for the benefit of their employes. The Treasury itself, however, will not do so. Secretary Morgenthau is sued a directive Dec. 21 to adminis trative officers of the department saying: "The deduction will be made on the gross amount of salaries and wages paid on and after Jan. 1, 1943, without regard to the fact that part of the salaries or wages may have been earned in December." The Bureau of Internal Revenue is sending out to business men over the nation a letter stating that be ginning Jan. 1, 1943, every employ er is required to withhold, collect and pay upon all wages of every employe exctept agricultural labor, domestic service, casual labor and certain other classes of labor, a tax of 5 per cent to the excess of such wages over .the with holding deduc tion allowable." The "withholding deduction al lowable" is a $624 a year. The B per cent Victory tax is figured mi the remainder of income in the case of a wage earner. New Tobacco Variety Resists Blackshank Tobacco seed of a new variety which is resistant to blackshank disease are now being distributed through the Tobacco Branch Ex periment Station at Oxford, it is announced by Dr. L. D. Baver of N. C. State College, director of the N. C. Agricultural Experiment Station. Sales are restricted to one ounce per farm. Dr. Baver said that the new, varie ty of tobacco was developed coopera tively by the Experiment Station, the N. C. Department of Agriculture and the Tobacco Division of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The plant breeding experiments were conducted under the leadership of Dr. James F. Bullock and Dr. E. G. Moss of the Oxford Station over a period of 12 years. The seed are being released under the name, "Btackahank Resistant To bacco, Strains 1, 2, 3, and 4." The research director emphasized that Strains 1, 2 and 3 are adapted to con ditions wherever blackshank occurs, but Strain 4 is adapted only to Old Belt soils where wrappers are grown. "Blackshank is one of the most destructive tobacco diseases known," Dr. Baver declared. "It first ap peared in 1929 on the farm of T. M. Lewis in Forsyth County. Experi ments which led to the development of the resistant variety were started on Mr. Lewis' farm in 1930. "Blackshank is widespread now in Forsyth, Guilford, Rockingham . and Stokes counties, and is also present in Surry, Yadkin, Oasweil, Person and Pitt counties. It is continuing to spread each year into new coun ties. . - "It is especially fortunate," said Dr. Baver, "that a resistant variety was developed before 1t gained more headway. At the present time.it is recommended that this variety is grown only on blackshank infested soil." - ' • : It's a pretty practice to say it with flowers and a foolishx one to say it with ink. v Low-heeled shoos may be more comfortable for women, bat are cans ing a lot of them to stArt kicking.
