[ The I'iiiI?<l States has called lip ( millions of men and has begun tho ! gigantic t.isk of sending them to the world's hallhdionts and of supplying i hem at tor. t lu-y get there. Congress has appropriated more than $20U.00O,iiiiii.imiii for and has authorized the construction of thousands of aircraft, millions of tons of shipping and Innumerable It emu of armament and equipment. The most important front in the world at present in respect to the over-all situation Is in Russia. There, despite the brave and stubborn defense of the Red Army, the Germans have Knitted 600,000 ntlles of territory, a region larger than France, Germany and Brltuin combined, with 50,000,000 inhabitants. Germany and the countries she has occupied have a total population of 300,000,000 ? although many of the conquered people will be a hindrance rather than a help to the Nazis in the prosecution of the Axis war, From the Aleutians to the Solomon Islands, American forces are taking the offensive and daily the plans for some form of "second front" movement in Europe grow. Besides this groat world-wide war? the seriousness of which even yet many do not realize?momentouB battles of the past pale Into insignificance. Elections With the terrible reality of war beginning to come home to them, American people have taken little Interest in elections this year. Although It is more important than ever before that they choose carefully those who will represent them, the outcomes of Individual contests seem relatively unimportant against the background of total war. Educated Army The American soldier of 1942 is the best educated fighting man In the world today. With 4.000.000 citizensoldiers now being trained, the educational level of the United States Army Is higher than that of any army ever 1 put into the field, and noteahly higher than our army of the first World war. Today 11 per cent of the white selectees called to service have had a college education. This was true t>f only five per renf of those called in the other World war. Today 30 per cent of the citizen army are high m hool graduates, as compared with four per cent for the first World war. Today '2s per cent have one or more scars ot high school training, as compared with 12 per (cut In 1917. The raising of the educational level is due larg'dy !o a spectacular increase in educational opportunities throughout the United States during the past score of years. Dista nee The United Nation's tight against the Axis Is primarily a battle against distance. A better conception of thej tremendous geographical handicaps which the allies must overcome can be gained from statistics on the time consumed by awcaco American supply vessels on round-trips to key points. For a voyage to Archangel and return, five months are required: to Australia, lour months; to Alaska, one month; to the Middle East or to India. five months: and to Ireland, two months. To keep the Russians fighting. the I'nited Nations must ship supplies 2.400 miles from Rritain and 5,40(1 miles from New York. To supply forces in the middle and in the eastern Mediterranean. Rritain must send ships 12.000 miles around the Cape of Rood Hope To reach the American base in Eritrea. 90 ships must travel 11,254 miles. Chungking is about 16.000 miles from New York by land and water, if you can get there at all, and Sydney. Australia, is about 7.500 miles from San Francisco. W. A. V. E. S.

Charges of gun-cotton are also exploding in the lake around them to give the effect of bursting grenades and bombs as they paddle their way to invade the "hostile" shore* PULLETS WILL NEED WELL BALANCED FEED "The necessity for growing out husky, heavy-bodied pullets as efficient Food-for Freedom egg producers cannot he overemphasized if these pullets are to strike the egg-laying pace required of them by Uncle Sam to provide enough eggs for our allies, military forces, and domestic needs," says county agent McCarley. "The ideal growing ration should contain enough protein to assure full growth and weight before egg production begins. Hut, in addition to receiving a properly balanced ration, they must be allowed to eat all they want. "Next in importance to feeding Ui range. The pullets should be given ample summer range where there is plenty of grass and shade", he said. "Plenty of the right kind of feed, ulong with shade, grass, and water, will produce sturdy pullets capable of turning out the eggs needed this fall and winter to meet our vital wartime requirements."

Reid, chief of the chemical division of the War Production board, writing for Mr. Nelson, said: "I wish to advise you that steps have been taken to convert the whiskey distilleries to the production of ethyl alcohol. "The instructions to- the chemicals branch, first by the Office of Reduction Management and later by the War Production board, are that these distilleries should be converted without the use of critical materials. We have had engineers in the field making changes in the distilleries and obtaining second hand equipment. "At the present time, we are obtaining around 120,000,000 gallons per year from whiskey distilleries, and it is estimated that after November I. this rate will be around 240,000.000 to 250.000.000 gallons per year and that a 11 of the distilleries will he producing ethyl alcohol. At present all distilleries that can produce 190 proof alcohol are not. permitted to produce whiskey; and if necessary, changes; can he made in other distilleries and they will not he permitted to produce anything but industrial alcohol. In addition the eastern seaboard plants that heretofore have used blackstrap molasses have and are being converted to the use of grain alcohol and idle distilleries are being brought into production.

E. McDuffie, district manager of the Columbia War Production board office announced this week. McDuffle said WPB has allocated II.009 tons of iron and steel for furnace conversion purposes.
