I SUBSCRIPTION RATES: f One Year $1.00 [ Biz Months .75 : Three Months.50 Carden Work For November It has been only a relatively short time since Science discover ed the exact constituents or ele ments of vegetables that have the power of promoting growth and health. These important elemer^ c found in vegetables and especial ly in leafy vegetables, are vitamins and mineral salts; and experi ments in human and animal nu trition have proved their impor tance for good growth and health especially in the case of children. Likewise, the food specialists tell us that the diet should contain a certain amount of bulky food. Veg etables meet these requirements in the form of fibre or cellulose Hence, authorities in food and health recommend the use of a supply of vegetables in the diet each day. While no discussion is here given, it is well known that fruits of the many kinds have sim- lilar virtues. The growing of good gardens throughout the year is largely a habit. Many who have recently developed this habit have found the home garden not only profit able but a source of pleasure and happiness. Now is a good time to begin thinking and making plans for the 1945 Spring Victory Garden. The garden, of course, should be lo- c^tAd in clo^e proximity of x the xes'denc? on account of conven ience. But cn the firm where plenty of ’and is available, change the location rf the ncx*- garden, if possible. This ir. higMv d^lr- able in order to avoid or lessen the damages of insects and dis eases of' the vegetables. Some vegetables should not be grown in the same soil two years in succes sion if best results are to be ob tained. If possible to change your gar den location, it would be desira ble to immediately apply broad cast over the new soil stable ma nure (and maybe complete com mercial fertilizer) and turn or break the land deeply before the winter rains set in. 7f the soil is strongly acid, an application of dplomitic limestone or basic slag should be given, es- reciruy to that portion of the garden soil where such crops as cabbage, peas, spinach, beets, etc., are to be planted, as these vege tables will not tolerate an excess of soil acidity as will other vege tables like the Irish potato, for Instance. Properly care for all the winter vegetables that you now have in your garden. Such crops as car rots, beets, parsnips, and salsify can be left where grown and dug as wanted. Pall beets and car rots later in the season should have a light furrow (or covering of soil) thrown over the beds, be cause these crops are somewhat susceptible to severe cold. If your sweet potatoes have not been harvested, they should be taken out of the ground imme diately, and properly stored. Cultivate your late-planted tur nips, spinach, and mustard, etc. Make arrangements for the planting of a few rows of straw berries in your garden. It is a favorite fruit and is the first fruit of the season. Matilda Bell, Co. Home Dem. Agent. FOR SALE 1936 Plymouth Deluxe four door Sedan. Low mileage. Practically new pre-war tires.

Isn’t the war almost over?** No sir, it is not 1 Not by a long shot. Of course, for many months now you’ve heard mostly about the war with Germany, where our’greatest effort is concen trated. That’s why many people have the idea that the war’s practically over. But make no mistake about it—nothing could be farther from the truth! The Japanese war is a tre mendous undertaking, and victory will come high. We’ll have to fight every inch of the way. Everything Costs More— in the Pacific War The European war is expensive, but almost every thing in the Pacific war will cost more. Take trans port costs, for instance: Because of the longer dis tances, the same amount of freight costs 25 per cent more when shipped to the South Pacific than to Eu rope. And it takes twice as many cargo ships in the Pacific to support a task force of a given size because turn-around time is twice as great! More Planes... Tanks... Ships... Oil In addition, we shall need more of everything. More B-29 Superfortresses that cost $600,000 each. More P-47 Thunderbolts that cost $50,000 each. $67,417 each. More amphibious tanks—more air craft carriers—more supply ships—more gasoline and oil than it took for the invasion of Europe! Care for the Sick and Wounded And lest anyone forget, we shall need more battalion aid stations—more clearing stations—more evacua tion hospitals—more convalescent hospitals—more hospital ships. For many, many years the sick, wounded, and otherwise disabled veterans will require medical at tention and care. That’s the least Uncle Sam can do in appreciation of what they’ve done for us. Maintenance for Millions Did you ever stop to think how much money it costs to maintain the 11 to 12 million men and women in our army and navy? Whether the men are actually fighting or not, they must be fed, housed, transported from one training center or battle area to another, cared for in a hundred and one different ways. That all costs money and will continue to until the last man demobilized is back in civilian clothes. In addition, millions of dollars will be required for mustering-out pay, for various benefits and services voted by Congress to help the boys get started in civilian life. These are reasons enough why patriotic Americans will want to buy heavily during the Sixth War Loan. More M-4, Tanks, with bulldozer blades, that cost But here are still more— Winning the Peace—for Your Country If we’re to win the peace as well as the war, the cost of living must be kept down and the purchasing power of money preserved. A reckless inflation that would necessarily be followed by the catastrophe of deflation—with its unemployment, bankruptcies, mis ery and heartache—must be prevented at all cost. Let’s make no mistake—a dangerous period lies ahead. The American people have nothing to fear, however, if they show in the future the same common sense they have shown in the past, and continue to put every penny over rock-bottom expenses into the pur chase of more and more War Bonds. Winning the Peace—for Yourself Want another important reason? Yourself! There isn’t a better or safer investment in the world today than War Bonds. In helping your country, you are also helping yourself! Never in our entire history has it been so necessary to save as right now. We 11 need money, individually, for education, re pairs, replacements, retirement—and we’ll need a lot of it. As you can see there are many reasons, important reasons, why our Government must have the financial support of everyone, and have it for many months to come. Let all Americaps do their part— for their own sake, for their country’s. ■■ . -••F.V’-" j A Bln AT LEAST ON B0ND...T0DM! •?.( I % ii|. " This is an official V. S.
