No crops should be lost in because of a shortage of labor. Neighbors should cooperate with neighbors in every way possible, just as they did this year, to bring this about. In the "Food Fights for Freedom" campaign, seventeen agricultural and allied organizations are taking part and in every county in North Caro that ' The Tamer Husband: "You'll never get new dog of yours to mind you."

The yt is that more than three-fourths f it . was in the public domain. 1 We see no occasion for alarm in .'.opnection with the Byrd report.

Still Giving Away Land Few governments in the world have an mb generous as the United States ( i giving away real estate. It is ird to visualize the Federal Govern ant as a land-grabber when it has ven awmy 132,000,000 acres to as ;re the : construction of railroads, , 31,00Jt. acres .;to promote educa tion and IZSjSSSJSOO acres to citizens Eeeking honiesteads in unsettled areas.-J;'' 1 I In the five fiscal years, ending I June 80, 1941,-the Government gave , to homesteaders more than five mil , lion acres of land. I I In view ojf the figures given above, and the generous land policy of the Federal Government, it is hard to locate any problem in connection with t the land .holdings of the Federal Government If any complaint is jus j tified th criticism should be directed 'against the giving away, rather than the aco'-'sition, of real estate. Censorship Of The Mail -t Would Ban Free Discussion A House sub-committee is conduct ing hearings on legislation to ban Jjacially discriminatory from the mails. While favorable action is predicted by the chairman, the proposal is op posed bv Postmaster-General Frank C. Wplker. who says that such a law nurould impose UDon the Department the undesirable task of deciding con Itrovers'e between those seeking to Uiscuss freely racial and religious sues ana tnose wno mignt consider discussions e violation of this asked.

"Every farmer should ac quaint himself with the work of the committee in his county and give it all the hid possible," Schaub says. Ginners Should ''Hues an such disci Jaw." I A mucl made by much stronger statement was Vincent M.

The passage of legislation along he line suggested, would, it seems to in the Gilbert group, which lies be tween Hawaii and the Solomons. After two days of bombing by Army Liberators, involving attacks upon several islands, carrier-based aircraft joined in the six-day offen sive which paved the way for the landing of soldiers and marines. The Gilbert islands are northeast of the Solomon group and, together with some bases in the Marshall Is lands, Constitute the outer defenses of vital Japanese sea lanes. The engagements took place well within Japanese waters. The is lands, if captured, will prime the way to Truck, the main Japanese base, as 1 well as to Rabaul, a lesser base, now 1 threatened from New Guinea and 1 Bougainville. I The use of carrier-based aircraft , in the latter phases of the bombing , attack's, which preceded the occupa tions, and the presence of covering warships, indicate that the Japanese have lost control of the ocean, tem porarily, at least. The islands involvedv,are described by Hawthorne Daniel, in his book "Islands of the Pacific" as follows: Tarawa: Also sometimes called Knox or Cook 'island. Largest and most important of the Gilbert group. it is a twenty-two mile atoll, com-i posed of the typical collection of large islands (there are nine) and numerous smaller ones. There is onf main entrance to its -lagoon. Poula tion, about 2,600. Makin: One of the northernmost of the Gilbert group; about eleven jiles wide, with a deep lagoon, which has two, entrances. Population, in l'j:S7, more than l,(i00. The offensive now under way will probably move northwestward into the Marshall jrroup of islands, which include Jaluit, Wotje and Kwajalein. As it proceeds, the Japanese will be compelled to fight or to surrender valuable strategic bases and Nauru island, 500 miles west of the Gilberts, which supplies most of their phos phate needs. The importance of the attacks upon Tarawa and Makin is increased by the fact that the pattern followed can be repeated against other Japan ese holdings, rolling up outer de fenses and opening up more vital in stallations. Eventually, the Japanese win .have to risk a major sea Imttle or retreat to their home islands. Aid To Russia Generous U. S. Sends Supplies To Ally American aid to Russia for the twenty-four months ending Septemoei 30th, last, totaled .Tl ,287,047 ,000. More than half of this assistance was rendered in the first nine months of this year. . An idea of the extent of our aid ii given by Leo T. Crowley, Foreign Economic Administrator, who saya that the total includes $1,853,656,000 worth of military items, $884,359,000 of industrial material and $545,022, 000 foodstuffs and agricultural products.

"WE HAVE THE SHOU.v Friday, Dec. 3 Jean Arthur and John Wayne in "A LADY TAKES A CHANCE" Now that cotton ginning is just about over, is a good time for ginners I to check up on tneir year's operations and ask themselves questions which may help them in doing a better job ' next season, says C. L. McCaslan, I Extension gin specialist at State College. j He suggests the following ques tions: "Did 1 wait too late to put my gin in good operating condition?" r'Have I rough-ginned many bales of cotton, and why?" "Did I feed the cotton to the gin too fast, when the I yard was crowded?" "Did I gin 'with too tight a gin roll?" "Did farmers bring me too much cotton which was green or damp ?" He also suggests that the ginner begin with his power unit and check on all causes of break-downs. The cotton handling and cleaning mechan ism should aisp be checked and the troubles listed. It is advisable to note the "choke-ups" and the.i causes. j To make repairs easier next season, McCaslan recommended that the gin ! be cleaned thoroughly now. Remove the brush cover and examine the brushes. Remove the saw cylinder. Examine the air blast nozzles and the ! gin ribs. While the saW is out, meas-1 ure the diameter of the saws and the j condition of the teeth. If the saw is worn down one-sixteenth, or more, new saws should be ' ordered. A. good practice to follow i is to coat the ribs and saws inside : the roll box with a mixture of one' part of lard oil and three parts of i mineral oil. This will prevent rust-1 ing during the idle season, and the oil ' can be easily removed with a rag and , kerosene before the active season ' begins. . 1 BETHEL NEWS Arthur Harris, of Norfolk, Va., is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
