Funny how the youngster can be a cute little thing today and an impudent little brat tomorrow. North America is outproducing the Axis powers two to one and that means victory for the Allies may come sooner than many people thought.

The story's going the rounds about a Kershaw county farmer who took a terribly rundown, soli fertility depleted, weed-chocked farm In hand and made It bloom like an agricultural Garden of Eden. He was so proud of the result he Invited his preacher to a special dinner of celebration. After a grand meal the two walked ever the place and the farmer pointed out his flourishing crops, his cattle and hogs and chickens and mules and the general success and prosperity of the place. "Yes, my friend," said the preacher at last, "you and the Lord certainly have done a good job, a fine jobl" "Sure have," said our farmer friend proudly.
