GERMAN PROPAGANDA Tho war Mine drive for prohibition has taken on a now ah|mct with I ho revolution that the German propaganda machine. In lis eflort to ?ow (1 ihnitity in i ho Cnited States, has boon recently promoting prohibition. There art', of course, sincere tlrys who uro not dolndod by tho of fort a of Goebhels hut nevertheless tho Nazi plan to take advantage of ovory cleavage In American life In makinag capital of tho prompt prugrum of tho prohibit lonlstH. The American Mercury recently reported that an In-I vostlgatlon of mothers' complaints that their boys were misbehaving at army camps uncovered tho fact that a short time prior to tho flood of complaints the Nazi short-wave rndlo had poured out false stories of soldiers' drinking. What Is more, the Gorman broadcasters had urged the gullible mothers to demand that liquor bo taken from the armed forces. American and Allied troopB have more Important matters to handle right now than to be bothered with tho persistent, misdirected efforts of tho drys who are capitalizing on war time tension In their attempt to return the country to the days of prohibition. a set of laws and regulations that didn't prohibit anything except government taxes. This trick of the Nazi of encouraging tlo prohibitionists should be watched carefully. Today Is no time for this country to be divided In thought, today is the time for till Americans to unite in the drive for victor\. Columbia Record. MEDICAL PROGRESS NEVER ENDS The steady progress of American medicine Is making against the dread bacterial killers. Is illustrated by some figures concerning typhoid which were recently published In the Journal of the American Medical Association. Last year, this report says, there was a significant decrease In the typhoid death toll in the large cities of the country. In I'JIO, there were 2 I cities svith typhoid dentil rates exceeding one per hundred thousand population- and in IS 11, there were only 11 siteh (hies ,\nd for the 78 cities I.If u hi. h d.iM is available since I'Mo the Pll death toll was t ho lowest fin cord. I What Is trim of typhoid Is true of a long list of other diseases. Typhus. tuberculosis, pneuiuoula, yellow fevor?these are but a few of the killers which American medicine Is defeating. In almost every case, the death rates are declining. All of us have heard of famous doctors who have made spectacular | medical discoveries. Hut doctors . J whose names are virtually unknown, | deserve a great share of the credit! for medical progress. The tight against .disease goes on In backwoods com'inanities, no less than In shining rej search laboratories with the finest equipment money can buy. Obscure I ! general practloners are doing their part, no less than the most dlstinjgulshed specialists. In American medicine, progress never ends?and each i achievement Is simply a challenge [to greater achievements yet to come. America has reason to be proud of 'its doctors. | ? - I Wendell Willkle, Star Reporter j It Is fortunate that Wendell Wlllkie took a trip to lOgypt. Thus we, the j American public, were able to learn that more than a third of General : Rommel's first-line tanks were knock- > ed out In the recent fighting. Apparently it was a real offensive which the Anglo-American forces stopped, jand not a mere raid in force. | There were many first-line report- [ ers In Kgypt, competent, alert, in- r indigent, aggressive. competitively eager. Yet ft remained for Mr. Wlllkie to break this mws m the home' front. Two possibilities are apparent. (Hie is that Mr. Willkie has betrayed secret s of value JO the A\ls 1>V tellillg this news.

WAR FOR US ON THE HOME FRONT The President's warning that the nation faces "sacrifices of wage Increases, crop price Increases, profit Increases, bodily comforts" will be welcomed by the people of this country who agreo that "all this Is little enough for free men to sacrifice In a world where freedom is Imperilled." The President insists that the democratic system is imperilled by evil men of the West and East who hate and seek to destroy it. He emphasizes that we are the beneficiaries and heirs of our civilization, which serves labor, "the farmer, tho industrialist, the teacher and preacher, tho aproned housewife, the smallest child in tho cradle." The background of the present decision to take drastic action on the home front should not be misunderstood. Tho Axis powers, after initial 'successes due to their preparedness 1 for war, are now about to face, for ! the first time, enemies equally prepared for battle. The consensus of military experts is that the Axis connot win a long war and that the time it will take the United Nations to defeat tho evil aggressors depends almost entirely upon the promptness with which wo throw our forces into the combat. With more than half a million American soldiers overseas and thousands of others going across the oceans every month, the people at homo cannot fall to support their country and give added strength to their fighting men. It Is not enough for us to be willing to make these so-called "sacrifices", hut, if our spirit Is noble enough to deserve success, we should cheerfully Invite them and resolutely face what the future brings without fear and without complaint. ? Orangeburg Times-Democrat. Near Casualty An enlisted man working on the camp paper at Cnrdnor Field. Calif., picked up the phone and dialed his number. He wanted to talk to the print shop. At the "hello" from tho other end. tho soldier-editor bluntly ordered "Kill that caption we pent over this morning!" "Yes. sir, I'll attend to It right away," the voice acknowledged. In those brief seconds, the newsman felt he couldn't Just place the voice, so he followed with, Say who is this?" "O. this is Private .lone? at the laboratory at the hospital." The editor still wipes his brow when he thinks what might have happened to some "captain" if he hadn't straightened out his orders' ? lb-hind tin* Headlines in Our Army. i agriculture, industry in war and in peace Cleiufon, Auk. 29 ? Agriculture needs to think of labor In terms of u market for Us goods ami to realize that tho measure of what cuu bo sold Im limited by the purchasing pow??r of the laborers, said Dr. Edwin A. Elliott, of the National Labor HeIntlolls board, discussing Agriculture and Industry In a Democracy at War, speaking at the recent agricultural leaders' conference here. A commonalty of Interests, which j must bo recognised by lK>th groups, | exists between agriculture and labor, Dr. Elliott declared. Legislation to Improve the condition of one will react in favor of the other, If It Is to 1 be trul) beneficial. Subsidies, such as ; have been granted In the past to Industry, shipping, etc.. would aid agriculture now, and would go ahead to Improve the general good of all groups. Kaniters, as a consumer unit, must exercise poise, tolerance, and commonsense In their dealings with labor and management, realizing that ibej Interests of all groups are Interwoven j in the American way of life. Through a reasonable and democratic process,] w? shall win the war und the peace. Declaring that the farmer must help first to defeat the Axis thoroughly and see that no negotiated peace Is agreed to. Dr. Edvard Hatnbo, economist of Princeton, speaking at the same conference, said that the furnier, by helping to maintain national peace ufter the war, has great a stake as any other group In building the International peace of the future. A transition period of perhaps as much tis live years should Intervene between the end of actual lighting und the making of peace. Dr. Ilanibo thinks. This would bo a time of reconstruction and hard international work, during which the defeated countries would have to be occupied and managed by international armies and police forces, and governed by an international ruling body. Agriculture will have a vital role in feeding the world In this transition period. Wants?For Sale j Advertisements under tms heading will he charged for at the rate of 1 cent oer word.

Better Marketing Vital To Egg Drive : Cleiuaon, Sept. 7.?"Successful egg production means a lot more than gtvlug hens all they will eat and leaving the rout to chance," says 1*. H. Gooding, poultry speclaliat of the KxtouhIon Service, declaring that proper marketIng practlcea are vital to the aucceaa of the program to meef the wartime egg requirements. "Kgga produced to supply tho ueeda of tho present emergency must be good eggH when they leave tho fariu und good eggs when they reach tho consumer, and this makes tho use of proper handling for market doubly important. "With proper leuding and handling, every hou normally produces a good ogg," Mr. flooding continues, "but tho egg can become bad very soon If it Is not properly cared for." Mr. Gooding and other poultry exports maintain that production of quality eggs begins with producing infertile eggs, keeping nests clean, collecting eggs at least three times daily, cooling them properly, packing in clean containers, and marketing frequently. The farmer who noglects these important practices is sabotaging his own enterprise. Infertile ? ggs keep best under all conditions and are more desirable for food purposes One egg out of every seven produced In 19-12 will go to a drying plant to be made into egg powder for use by our armed forces on far-flung battle fronts and by our Allies. The quantity required thus will exceed 200 million pounds. This alone moans the use of at least 600 million dozen eggs. In addition there are demands for fresh shell eggs by the armed forces stationed at home and by the greatly Increased domestic market. Silk From Spider-Webs (Robert E. Pike In Our Dumb Animals) Outside of "trade" circles, It is not very well known that silk, taken from spiders, Is extensively used both in civilian and ''defense" work?especially on the lenses of precision instruments, such as bomb and torpedo sights, camera vlew-flnders, telescopic gun-sights, anti-aircraft sights, theodolites, and surveyor's levels. Spider silk, not more than .0001 of an Inch In diameter Is stronger than steel wire of the same size, and is elastic so that it remains taut and straight in the instrument. The product for ordinary house-spiders Is not usable, hs it Is too coarse. The best silk comes from tho weavers of orbwebs (flat webs of wheel-like design). Different spider-farmers have different ways of extracting the thread from the spider's body, but the general procedure is to stimulate the creature's nipple-like "spinneret" (a cocoon-shaped organ with which the arachnid spins Its web) to start the thread coining, which is then wound onto a small flat wooden or metal reel, or U-shaped instrument, great cafe being taken that the strands do not overlap. Such silk is worth ten cents per foot, and one spider may emit as much as 100 feet In the course of an hour, hofore the supply is exhausted. After the operation, the spider is very hungry, and must be fed. Although it would tako the combined daily output of some 6,000 spiders to manufacture one silk dress, there is no insurmountable reason that suitable insects may not be raised commercially, and so provide us with all the silk we need. Nevertheless, only one man, a Frenchman named Bon, early In the 18th century, has ever tried to make cloth from spider, silk. He manufactured smooth fray stockings and gloves that royalty was proud to wear, and which were said to be superior to ordinary ellfc in both looks and durability. It seemi that here Is an opportunity for some enterprising Yankee. GUIDE TO GOOD SIRUP Sirup makers who are Interested la improving the quality of their alrop and using such methods as will ear* time and labor should consider fhi Important points on improved meth. ods of making sirup, says county agent W. C, McCarley. The use of a hillside layout If pos. aible In order to obtain gravity How of the juice from the evaporator to the mill. Through seKMu& and straining of the juice by means of a Juice box at the mill and juice-settling tanki or a settling trough at the evaporator. A properly designed furnace to insure the most efficient use Of fuel wood and give uniform cooking over the entire bottom surface of the evaporator. The use of side-skimming troughs to save labor and prevent "boiling in" of skimmings and other impuri. ties into sirup. Evaporation of the sirup to the proper density by means of a sirupmakers' thermometer, thus eliminating the guess work as to when the sirup is done.
