Monday's newspapers.

Yoimg men are enlisting m num
bers in the several branches of the
American defense forces. As has
be*n said bore in this column,,
.Americans now surround the globe.
"Ch!opratfa“lulled herself

of all time, until the German Nazis
came into action.. In “Out Of The
Night,’’ you may learn more of Ger
man brutality than anywhere else
I know of. But many instances of
the most cruel barbarities practiced
b.y these socalled good people may
be read frequently in the current
news of the day. Germans may be
good and kind as are other people,
but I believe they are deceptive in
this kindness.
Tlie only appearance of slackers

,A.nd. this is as essential as the du

must cat. and so work must be done

The good athletic games do is to
teach young folks to do their very
best I know 1 have thought I could
vun no faster, nor jump farther, nor
lift more, but I did do more after I
cvme to that conclusion. Never say
qviit.
1 know of people’s living pretty
veil after it t\ms impossible, (they
t^ou^t) to get another mouthful of
fond—they kept trying. No hun^n
‘has ever been a failure, who tried
h5s or her best. “Tf at first you
.^rn't succeed, "Try, try again.”
Gamblers are staking thousands
of dollars that the present war will
end by New years; others no longer
away than April, 1943. I hope they
are right in their guessing, even if
they are gamblers. I wish I had the
power to stop gambling. It is as
mean as stealing. And, you gamble
when you match for drinks. Stop
it.
I do not believe we bad as good
and walked three miles down and
back each day. I made them for a
man who jvas as industrious as any
man could be, but had been taken
down by rheumatism and went cm
crutches for years. No, Abe Lincoln
was not the only rail splitter.
^'ou will think more of yourself,

the honor lies. If true in labor,
it is also true in mental effort. Nev
or get the idea you CAN’T. The au
thfw of that book knew something
you do not know—find out about it.
j I do not believe we habe as good
' books to read as we had fifty years
: ago. “The Path of Life,” written
by a number of distinguished men,
j and assembled by a scholarly gentle-
- man whose name I do not at the mo
ment recall. On the Utle page was
stated: “We gather our bouquets
from other men’s bowers; Only the
cord that binds them together is
ours.” There were articles by Amer
ica’s greatest men.
When 1 was young, I heard men
talking about subjects of which - I
1m=w nothing. I studied and learned
something about many of them.
I ir.'ended to get a college education.
That was my bo.vhood dream, and
‘Shen study medicine, but failing
health defeated my planning. How-
wvTT, I have always been a student,
and am till attacking hard problems,
.and it may surprise most people that
J sTll meet w ith a measure of suc-
ess.
Particularly have I been interested
« history. This 3rear I learned the
Ptolomies of Egypt married their own
sisters—nobody else was good enough
4ar them. CleH>atra was the last one
-pf them- There was a sentence in
)uac3cenb(^' Grammar >th«d ran:
The greater portion of the matter
I see thesie times is diluted by both
profanity and vulgarity. Writers
mistake vulgarity for wit these days.
And, out and out profanity is in com
mon. I reniember when such publi
cations could not be Sent through' the
mails I hate to hear profanity or
blackguard. It is course, and shows a
want of refinement. These are bad
habits. r
The farmers who grow cotton feel
they are not getting a fair deal. It
is too low in comparison with the.
expense of growing, and of the pri

Experts were . saying back in the
80’s and 90’s that the. prices of cot
ton goods justified. 20 cent cotton. It
was selling for '6 cents. ,

If America is not winner in this
struggle, charge it to SIN. Our peo
ple are thoughtless, and indifferent
-to spirituality. There must- be an
awakening, spiritually. We know
human beings have souls, and to be
at their best, those spuls ^must be
cleansed, and, this emmot be done by
human agency—it must be done by

Save Worn Hose
A year ago when women wanted
[to contribute their old silk stockings
to the war effort, the Government
didn’t want them. Now a way of
using them in the manufacture of
powder bags has been devised.
Frank L. 'Walton, deputy WPB tex
tile chief, is anxious now that women
not throw any more of their old silk
or nylon hose away.
“Until announcement of the start
of the collection campaign, I want
to ask all women to save their old
and discarded silk rmd nylon hos
iery in order that it wll be available
when the campaign gets under way.”
Thus far, the Government doesn’t
want rayon hose.
’Tin-Can Salvage
WPB also wants women to save
tin-cans, even though they aren’t to
be collected locally yet. Tbetin can
salvagq program, launched last June,
has been expanded to include 45
states. Only Idaho and the Dakotas
have not been asked to collect cabs,
be»use of their distance from de-
tinning plants. .

Akron, O., recently held a “Give-
a-Gun” campaign to aid the scrap
metal drive, fixing a quota of 12%
lbs. per person—the amount of meta.
in q .30, caliber machine gun. A pa
rade featured two 10-ton steam roll
ers, a 7-ton concrete mixer, severa"
hearses.
By halting the use of. steel drums
to pack some 200 products, the U. S.
will save enough steel to build two
35^000-ton battleships and at least 10
hard-hitting destroyers.
