BACK TO THE FARM
~Iow many of the young men who
have left the farms for military
service or for work in shops will
~o back to these rural locations

when the armed services are
demobilized, and as the
~aeds of our allies decrease and the
of liberated countries be-
~ae able to support themselves.
The enormous demand for food
'~hlch now exists will not probably
continue after the war. Many of
the servicemen and war workers
feel that there is little chance
them on the old farm, and
would better find some shop
business job.
Many of these fellows have been
high pay m shops, and
working as hard as they did
in the country. The rewards

done. There are hills and moun-
tains to be climbed, and sometimes
heavy loads have to be carried or
pulled. There are Jungles and des-
erts to be traversed, and it seems
pretty tough when you read about
it as you sit in your easy chair.
The servicemen have had months
of training designed to develop
their physical strength, and are
able to do many more things than
they could at home in a relatively
inactive life. If they have to work
hard, it develops their appetites,
and they will eat far more than
they did at home. They get good
and nourishing food, a~nd it in-
creases their strength. They may
be tired when the days work is
done. but their fatigue helps them
to get deep sleep, which greatly
refreshes them.
It is the purpose of the armed
services to look out for the physical
welfare of their men, and not to
subject them to more severe toil
or strains than they are able to
bear. There are periods of hard
toil, but there are rest times too,
when they get a chance to loaf and
refresh themselves. If they are
sick or exhausted, they get excel-
lent care and attention.
So one can believe that most of
them will return with greater phy-
sical vigor than when they left
home, showing the benefit of vigor-
ous exercise and life in the open,
and plenty of substantial food.
WARNING FROM THE
FRONT LINE
The legislative jungle in which
the controversy over price regula-
tion continues between industry
and the OPA, makes it difficult
for the layman to discern import-
ant issues. The public is much
like army reserves held behind the
fighting front. It does not know
what is going on although its
future is at stake in the outcome
of the battle up ahead. And make
no mistake, the parallel is not
exaggerated. The freedom of every
American is involved in the home-
front battle of industry against
encroaching officialism.
With respect to the OPA, busi-
ness is seeking to curb abuses of
authority within the agency. OPA
legal experts have barred business
and industry from .recourse to the
courts of the nation for correction
of inequitable price rules. This was
never the intent of Congress in
creating the OPA. Representatives
of many industries, including retail
distribution, which have been forced
to operate under glaringly unjust
price decrees, are fighting to have
the OPA act amended to give the
business man his day in court.
OPA has opposed efforts to bring
its acts under the jurisdiction of
the courts, on the plea that it
would weaken the anti-inflation
line. But it should be remembered
that it is in the midst of just such
etnergenices as inflation that na-
tions lose their freedom. This na-
tion will have to eventually decide
which is more important---the
emergency or the freedom. When
through indifference on the part
of the people, government agencies
find they can with impunity evade
the intent of the law, or write and
enforce their own rules arbitrarily,
constitutional government is failing.
When industry seeks court relief
from bureaucratic dictation, tlle
public should heed the warning.
It is a warning from the front
line where the enemy always strikes
first.
V-
FACE TO FACE WITH HITLER
The public won't hear much
about it, but sometime in the near
future an event will occur here in
this country that will be one of
the great victories of World War
II. Both the Office of Defense
Transportation and the :railroads
expect the peak of rail freight and
passenger traffic to come in 1944.

sCHOOL.
Once the peak is mastered, the
railroad men will'know they have
met the challenge of the "war of
movement"--and won.
As the final test approaches, the
railroads' prime worry is manpower.
Locomotives can be oiled, repaired
and kept on the move night and
day, almost without stop, but
human beings must rest. Ship-
ments of war material is being
slowed because of insufficient help
to keep the trains moving. To
combat the manpower shortage, the
rails are calling for more people.
Over seventy percent of all inter-
city freight is moved by rail. This
alone gives a pretty good idea of
the importance of the railroads.
Major General C. P. Gross, Chief
of Transportation, United States
Army, has said: "Our railroads are
essential to our nation's capacity
to make war. That was proved in
World War I and has become again
ove~whelmingly evident in this war.
They mUst be sustained by the
American people with full apprecia-
tion that they are vital to us and
must always be prepared to go
into action to make effective the
might of the United States."
There is no more concrete way
to sustain the railroads today than
by getting a job on them. Hitler,
in putting war on wheels, came
face to face with the American
railroads. Before they are through
with him he will be sorry he ever
saw a wheel.

LET US RAISE A STANDARD
The world waits in heartbreaking
tension as Spring spreads her green
carpet northward and the drying,
fields lie ready for the greatest bat-
tles of history.
Even as these words are printed,
tens of thousands may be keeping
rendezvous with death. But when
the battles are over, millions of
other men and women must pick
up the threads of life, and live on
through endless tomorrows. Ameri-
cans, English, and FTench~Teuton
and Slav, Chinese and Japanese--
all must try again to weld them-
selves into one world.
What kind of world will it be--
that world delivered from Fascist
terror by the greatest blood bath
of all time?
Our leaders must strive unceas-
ingly to make It indeed a brave
new world where jobs and mass
production techniques will provide
such a standard of living that the
great peoples of mankind may be
content to live and labor in peace.
We must choose as our motto the
words attributed to our beloved
Washington in the constitutional
convention that opened 157 years
ago this May--the convention that
made America a nation and healed
the wounds of war and dissension:
"Let us raise a standard to which
the wise and honest can repair; the
event is in the hand of God."
REWARDS OF SERVICE
People often decline to take up
work for home town organizations
in which they are asked to render
certain service. They may have
good cause to decline, and their
burdens and cares maY be such
that they should not be expected to
do any more public work.
Yet perhaps some of these folks
are failing to realize the important
personal advantages they get from
working in the organizations of
their home town. Carrying on or-
ganlaation work help6 one to make
THE "TOMORROW" HABIT
Travelers in South American
countries have often laughed at
the habit of many people in those
lands of saying "Manana," which
means tomorrow, H the traveler
asks them to do something right
away quick, they are, very apt to
say "Manana." When tomorrow
comes, they may still say they will
do it tomorrow, and that tomorrow
may never come.
There are folks who act that way
in daily life in the United States.
They see something that needs to
be done. but they are going to do
it tomorrow, or at some future
date, and in some cases that time
never comes. It is also a bad habit
to acquire in the life of a com-
munity. It holds back the progress
of some towns that could go ahead
by progressive action.
LET'S SHOW APPRECIATION
Is America appreciative of its
servicemen? When a man comes
home from the fighting front for a
brief furlough, under existing reg-
ulations he is allowed a paltry five
gallons of gasoline. He can't go
hunting, he can't go fishing, can't
visit friends, c~n't renew himself
by trips to the country.
He may well doubt our interest
in him when he sees countless
civilians and public officials allowed
ample ~gas rations because of their
"essential" activity. What is more
"essential" than relaxation for a
weary serviceman when he is on
leave, and freedom from petty
correct declsior,~ and show Judg-
ment. People axe competent to fill
larger responsibilities when they do
this kind of work. Then the people
who do these things make many
friends, and they make themselves
very popular. This makes it easier
to accomplish the 13ersonal ambi-
tions they have in view.
PLANTING THE SEED
The time has come when farm-
ers and gardeners are planting ]
their seed. It is very important toI
get good quality seed. J
The stores of Golden Valleyl
county are very careful to get highI
grade seed, and what they sell can,
be depended upon.
A seed is one of the most won-
derful products of nature. It is
amazing that tlmt tiny little thing,
which in the case of many plants
is extremely small, can contain the
germs out of which such luxuriant
life can grow. It seems like a
miracle that a little thing like an
apple seed, which may be little
more than a quarter of an inch
long, yet contains the germs of
those tissues that grow into a
great tree. and if not trimmed
might grow as high as a house.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...

a careful study of the problem, report
that only about 5% of those who drink

"The real answer is education and better
control. In fact. the responsible members of
the distilling industry are working con.
