FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1043 LET'S GET GOING) Do Farmers Want It? We remember some years ago when the farmers of the nation were greatly interested in some form of .crop insurance. The exDeriment was first tried with wheat and subsequently extend ed to cotton, the great staple crops of the nation. Now, the Congress of the United States, has declined to appropriate the funds necessary to continue the experiment. Undoubtedly, crop in surance would be a godsend to many farmers. If they want it, they might get busy and tell Congress. Will Hitler Outlast Kaiser? In the first World War, Germany, under the Kaiser, lasted four years, .three months and two weeks. There are many differences between this war and the last but there are some people who doubt if Hitler will last much longer than Kaiser Bill. While the German armies, outside of Russia, have not had the fighting that they experienced in the first World War, the Kaiser did not have to worry about aerial bombs that blast industry into bits. It is a difference and it may prove enough to make up for the lack of I what the Russians call a "second front." ' vm.

The capture of orders from the Commander of the Hermann Goring Grenadiers, complaining of pani when the Allies landed and sternly threatening punishment, discloses that in the first hours of the invasion! the British and American trooris came close to achieving an utter rout of the defenders. The Germans ap parently averted a debacle that would have been completely demoralizing. But their position now is much like that of the Axis armies which tried to hold Tunisia.

Weather Helps Tomato Trouoies Vegetable gardeners have been having all kinds of troubles with their tomatoes this summer and abnormal weather conditions have made the situation -jpnuch worse than normal, says H. R. Niswonger, Extension Horticulturist at State College. According to the specialists, the extreme dry weathfer at one period caused the leaves on the lower branches to curl up and some grow ers thought the crop was suffering from wilt. He points out, however, that when the Southern Bacterial wilt or the Fusarium wilt attacks the plant, the whole plant is affected and death follows. In commenting on this point, he says that the pathologists have found more wilt than usual this season in the tomato crop and that weather Vbnditions have favored the damage caused by this disease. Many growers have also reported that their tomatoes failed to fruit properly. Niswonger says that the extended period of dry weather pre vented the plants from setting much fruit and this was followed by ex cessive rains which also affected the setting of fruit. Some growers also applied relatively large amounts of fertilizer- and when the plants began their rapid growth, they were un able to fruit normally. Because the wet weather encour aged the growth of fungus diseases, leaf spot troubles developed in many gardens, according to the specialist, and serious damage resulted. The to matoes could have been sprayed but most small gardeners just did not find the time to do this or the con tinued rains interfered.

Exit Benito After twenty-one years of bending the Italian people to his Fascist ma chine, of sword rattling and bragging, Benito Mussolini has bowed from the scene of European politics. It may be that Mussolini, the teacher, can blame his downfall upon being too good a teacher for his pupil, Hitler, for in the last analysis it was Hitler who rose to greater power and over shadowed the puppet Benito to such an extend that Italy was but a pawn in the hands of the Nazi. The tight censorship now closed about Italy prevents any foresight of possible future moves on the part of Jtaly in making peace with the Al lies, but it is likely that the Italian people, who have had no heart for this war, will force any government to take Italy out of the wan Mussolini came to power in Italy when most countries of Europe were seeking a balance following World War I. Every nation in Europe at that time was in a state of recon struction and the people grapped at the strongest looking straw. On as suming power in Italy, Mussolini pursued a program of strengthening the home-front and welding the peo ple to the ways of the Fascist re gime, which included a strong mili tary machine with which Mussolini hoped to recapture the glories of the ! Holy Roman Empire. This military machine, however, failed to achieve the greatness Mus solini sought and as a final resort, when it seemed Hitler would conquer Europe, Mussolini jumped on the band wagon, hoping to gain terri torial advantages he could not win himself. The end for Mussolini came when the might of the Allied Nations case its shadows over the homeland of the Italians, proving in spite of the lies and propaganda of the Fascist, that the forces of freedom are greater than any human being.

Milk bottles, beer bot-J basements and garages from Maine ties, beverage bottles that weren't worth the trouble of returning a year ago. Bottles that collected under the sink and in the basement. Bottles that poured from factories some where so profusely and inexpensive ly that nobody ever thought about them twice, except how to get rid of them. Of course we were supposed to give milk bottles back to the milk man and the few cents profit on beverage bottles made them worth while to small boys. But for the most part we thought no more about an empty bottle than we did about piece of used wrapping paper. This was typical of America in pre-war days. There was such an abundance of everyday necessities in this big country of ours that we wasted things thoughtlessly. Not only containers but - the foods that came in them. We didn't Wear our clothes out and we took dubious care of our household equipment because it was so easy to get more. Today the food processors of the country are asking for bottles com plete with their metal caps. Those millions upon millions of them stand- Do you know a fellow like Joe? to California, because even bottle fac tories have important war jobs to do. Today we're taking meticulous care of refrigerators and vacuum cleaners and garden hose and lawn mowers because we can't replace them. To day we're wearing our clothes until they're shiny, having our shoes half soled and mending our stockings be cause there's a limited supply of all these things in this nation at war. And isn't it strange that now, while we save and mend ana go' without, we appreciate as never be fore the abundance that used to sur round us? We know now how effi cient and prolific our industrial sys tem has been andfe see how impor tant that was. Because it was by the creation of this unprecedented wealth of everyday necessities that our free industry acquired the skill and the strength that made it possible for America to astonish the world with her war production during these past eighteen months. So turn in your old bottles and caps, and gladly! We're making his tory in all kinds d factories these fateful days JOE'S MY KID BROTHER. We've always stuck together and I've aort of watched out for him these last few, years. Well, Joe's in Africa now. His wife gets her allotment from him, and I guess when that's taken out of his check he doesn't have much left. Privates don't get paid much you know. ' F I figure this way. Here I am, snaking more money than I ever did before., You bet I work for it! But Joe's working hard too . . . and not just from 7 to 5, either. We've been taking 10 percent out of my check every week for War Bonds ... they're going to come in mighty handy when the War's over, we figure. But I got to thinking about Joe. What's he going to have after the War? So we talked it over, my wife and I. We think Joe should get a cut of the bigger money, too. So now I'm buying, an extra , bond, every month in Joe's name. Maybe you've got somebody in the War, too. If you have, couldn't you squeeze out an extra ad now and then, tor four "Joe"?, yduVe doije YOlin BIT riOlV Dd YOU R BEST 1 eeMy
