Mr. Buzhardt pointed out that the heavy pur chase of Bonds by farmers now will be a blessing to this county hi future years as these notes mature. •Purchase of War Bonds’*, said Mr. Buzhardt “is not a sacrifice to be compared to that being made by our boys with the fight- Jng forces, but it is the best way are can serve our country.

But by and by they found its place; in Psalms it is written, “The stone which the builders re fused is become the head stone of the corner.” These words were originally written of David but they were more fittingly applied to the Messiah as we find them recorded by Mark in the verse which is used as the Golden Text of this, lesson.

Bread and Muffins: These call for little sweetening anyway so there’s no problem in shifting from sugar to sirup, or to whatever sweetner js available. Replace one with any other in exactly the quantity called for by original recipe. Jams, Jellies, Preserves: Use honey in place of half the sugar called for in the original rec ipe and increase the cooking time a little to allow for the extra liquid to evaporate. Or replace up to one-fourth the sugar with corn sirup. Canning fruit: The best way to get around the sugar situation is to can fruit without any sweetening and add sweetening just before serving.

Defense bonds are now WAR bonds; defense stamps are war stamps. Today one hears more of victory, war, offense and less of defense. And yet there was point to the old slogan; because there was a time—not long since gone by—when we were desper ately short of the mere weapons with which to protect ourselves —much less weapons with which to attack an enemy; when people were complaining—with cause— that we had an isolated anti-air- craf$ gun or two. a few hundred semi-modern airplanes, no rifles to speak of, few soldiers and practically no ammunition or mo bile equipment. It was during those days that word “defense” became the * jgua and it was a well-chosen word, because we were sitting on a volcano without even a pair of asbestos breeches on. Fortunate ly neither Bolivia nor Uruguay was 'entertaining thoughts of empire, and Germany and Japan had a bit of knitting to attend to on the other side of the globe. But most people realized that we ^ho 1 ’ 1 buy a few new revolvers if we didn’t want to be “divided up • at the end of the wars abroad, so they dug up the word “de fense”. Well, that word worked wonders. It did a big job and it doesn’t deserve the abuse it is now get ting. It made all Americans con scious of the fact that we must prepare to protect ourselves agaipst prowling Solves. It changed the psychology of a com placent nation and brought home to it the dangers with which it was surrounded. Soon rose the cry for more guns, more tanks, more ships, more planes. The draft law was passed and Ameri ca began to prepare in earnest for whatever might occur. But now the old word Is losing its value to us and is becoming “dated”. We have some guns now, and planes and tanks; and each day they are coming out of the factories in ever increasing numbers. Yesterday the invasion of Amer ica was a possibility; today it could not be accomplished suc cessfully;! tomorrow It would be laughable even to comtemplate it— at least until the huge airplanes of the future get In,to circulatibn. Today, new words are coming into fashion—“offensive,” “at tack,” “victory.” These words have drifted in on the tide of accomplishment in our national preparation. They are returning to the lips of Americans who had to be reminded by Mac Arthur and his men that their countrymen had always been the best fighters in history. They are taking the place of our old friend “defense” because they have now earned their right to recognition. Their return is just a natural sequence of events; and though the news abroad is still pretty dismal, we all know that our country is grow ing stronger by leaps and bounds while the enemy we believe is is growing weaker. So the new words just pop out naturally and our old pkl, “defense” is doubt less happy to retire on his laurels * —not unhonored nor unsung. Let us see to it that the new words * are as stimulating as the old one was. —Buy War Savings Stamps— In Memoriam FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE I hereby announce my candi dacy for re-election to the office of Judge of Probate for McCor mick County, subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic party.
