Food Transportation Vital To Nations Life (Continued from first page) and the railroads are going 'all out for the war program no matter how i destitute of physical resources they may be after It is all over. "Both rail and farm equipment will be badly depleted as will also be soil fertility."

"One without the other would be lost, and the country would be lost without either." NOBODY'S BUSINESS 4 By Gee McGee i am taking a florida vacation at home Well, It looks like 1 shall have to give up my vacation for the duration. But to Hitler and other hindrances previously reported, my Florida vacation Is out. But 1 have planned a substitute: 1 will take my vacation at home A la Miami. I have already started it. i have given up my nice, soft downstars bed. and have moved into a front room upstars. The big trucks and buses pass through every few minutes; they sound like the ocean. I have turned the heat on in this room and keep it between 85 and UO all of the time. I use an old mattress that I has lumps in it and a pillow that ' boasts W several wads here and there, and keep only one towel and a very Ismail piece of soap in the bathroom I down the hall. I have sprinkled some sand on the I floor put some in my shoes, and I | spread a tiny bit betwixt my bed I sheets. 1 have taken the 100-Watt | lamp out of the reading pedastal and inserted a 25-watt lamp instead. 1 removed the plate-glass mirror from the bathroom and installed one that II found downtown (in a ten-cent store) that makes me look like I am crylpg when I gaze therein for the I purpose of removing my few whiskers. I am paying the wife *6.00 per day for room and board, and my?such board! The toast is burnt, the orange juice Is half water, the oat-meal is dry and dusty. As a matter of fact, 'the food is worse than the room, and ithe room is b-a-d. I am wearing an old summer suit (and, incidental y lam freezing,to death when outside my hot-house*upstairs). 1 talk like 1 am ! rich, brag about what I have (not) I got, cuss the New Deal just as rich I Yankees do, sit around and worry myself to death all day long, go to bed (early and stay wide-a-wake for hours and get up late if I want to. It's all I very real. If I didn't have to pay so 1 niUch for accommodations, I am sure I that I would be muchly benefited. I It's just like Florida in respect to expenses. (I run an electric fan when | it gels too hot in my room . . . it s outside today). flat rock is getting ready to take care of the drafted n farm labor The farmers of" flat rock are getting ready for the influx of drafted farm labor. They are all going in together j and build a one-room tenant house for 1 him to live in. They are hopeful that 'the guy (this drafted farm labor), will be a young man with an aptitude for work, and not an old fellow I that has quit work entirely and looking for a place to finish up his latterday loafing. By putting up only a 1-room tenant house for this farm-ylabor (which everybody knows will be sent by the, government), if "he" doesn't arrive,, nobody will lose much. If Hon. McNutt and Hon. Wickard succeed in drafting the farm labor above referred to, ii Is the present doslro of the f men who helped to erect tho living | quarters for "It," that Is?put money ( ami work into tho said building, to ( have h 1 m divide hia time up amongst | them, as follows: Holsuiu Moore is gonig to furnish the weather-boarding for the room; . he wants the government labor to | work with him on Monday. Art j Square will supply the roof-he expoets the fellow to plow for him on i Tuesday, llert Skinner will put up | the stove fule; ho will look for this , IKiverniuent labor to chop cotton for , I him on Wednesday. Slim Chance, 'Sr.. will do part of the carpenter ( work; ho will expect the government | man to help him pull fodder this ! summer, on Thursday, and Dr. HubI bert Green will use him to run his j tractor on Friday; ho put $1 into j 1 the flooring of the room. lOach fnrm-L I or will get 8 hours a day from this , drafted laborer. (There won't he more'. i 1 than one, if that). We do not expect thisf labor to work 'on Saddays. The farmers have planned to wake him up at about 8 a. m. j every morning, and let him eat lunch ; at 12:30, and let him knock off after 8 hours have been put in. If he is a * union man, the farmers will mortgage their homes to pay hint, and if they get anything done at all with this drafted labor, they will be surprised.' Some of the farmers who seem to { know what the government can do [ and can't do are lafflpg their lnsidea out at the way tho '"expectant" farmers have put their money In this oneroom tenunt house for this McNutt-'; Wickard labor to live in. 1 Noted Golf Pro At Kirkwood Hotel (Continued from first page) , history. It is the (first time in quite! a number of years that a full-fledged golf professional has been stationed ' at the club. This puts the Camden Country club on a well-rounded basis ' 1 of operation, with club members and guests securing a service that Is com- ' parable with the very best to ho found in outstanding- clubs of the, country. The Increased Interest and partld pation in golf Is due largely to the ex- ' cellent condition of the golf course. Not only are the greens In perfect oondition and with lntrigueing con- i tour, but the fairways with undulating topography are luxuriant with a heavy turf. Added to theso outstanding requisites is the second lnvesture, which Is regarded as second to none In the south. Kach fairway offers new and added beauty of vista. i jj.. t[ j ;^ ,1 Soil Conservation News (By V. T.
