Topics of Local and General Interest

T H E MAIN WAR OBJECTIVE

TT SEEMS deplorable to mahy ^ of our people to see our brave army in the Philippines fighting at a disadvantage, with a lack of adequate air fofces to protect them on land, and without suffici-ent warships to prevent Japanese troop and munition landinge. "Where are our airplanes and ships?" many people will ask.

As for the airplanes, a good quantity of them have been shipped to Britain and Rusaia, and a good par t of our ships are engaged in convoying war materials to Europe.

If people doubt the wisdom of that diipooition of our forces, they

' should consider that the main center of this war is right in' Germany. If the Nazis Can be stopped and forced to give in, the whole Axis war power would col-lapse. Russia could again send great quantities of war materiala to the Chineoe, who would make a fierce at tack on the Japanese forces in their territory. Then a good part of the United States and British fleets now busy In the Atlantic ocean could be sent to the Par East, and used to bring Japan under subjection. If Hitler and his crowd can be put out of busineas, the war ought to be finished in three to six months.

Japan would probably never have ' j umped on the United States in

the foul attacks at Pearl Harbor and Manila, if it had not been Instigated to this treacherous deed by the Nazis, who have probably been teasing Japan to fight us ever since Germany started the war in 1939. As Germany is the chief maker and promoter of this catas-trophe that has overwhelmed the world, there will be no peace until Germany is made to repent its deeds and give up. Then Germany's par tner t will yield in short time.

Our people have to be patient and content with the foothold our forces now hold against Japan in the Far East, while steps are taken to get a t the world's central trouble spot.

THE RUBBER SHORTAGE r n H E R E HAS BEEN a cheering

1 note in the -ews about the shortage of rubber,, indicating that it will not continue for a very long time. The government is spending $400,000,000 to promote the produc-tion of synthetic rubber. I t is hoped that by . the middle of next year the United States will be producing this staple at the ra te of 400,000 tons a year. That may not meet the whole need, but it should great-ly relieve the automobile tire situ-ation by the latter part of 1943.

Meanwhile the American people will do well to be careful of their tires. Which will be among their most cherished items of property. The folks who haven't been satis-fied on week-end» with less than a 200 mile trip, would better see some of the Interesting spots right a-round home.

^ The American people lacked fore-sight when they depended mostly

' .on production on the opposite side of the world for such a vital es-sential as rubber. They trusted too far in the intelligence of the world, thinking it would not be so foolish as to go to war.

Hope For End to Salt Pollution

Broken Casing Believed Cause of Trouble

Larry CMirliit, well driller and pump expert, informed tjie com-mon council on Monday night that ' he was (Aire he had found the place from which salt was passing into the village water mains.

In drilling a six inch test well next to where the Kalllrtger oil well No. 1 in Vergennes township was drilled in 1930, Oberlin reported that tests of the water at 52 feet began to show salt and at 82 feet the rait In the water tested 12,000 parts of mlt to a 1,000,000 parts water according to the state labora-tory testa. Succeeding tests a t deeper levels show a less percent-age of salt. Salt will tarte in water a t the percentage of 500 parts to' a million parts of water.

Conservation de>partment reports on the Kaliinger well No. 1 show that 60 feet of casing broke off when pulling up the casing and it was left and the hole was filled in. Oberlin believes that the salt Is coming out of the top of this broken casing and that It must be sealed to prevent the pollution of the Lowell water supply. This pollu-tion which Is getting worse all of the time is creeping Into higher and higher levels and would soon pollute every well In the whole river valley. This pollution must be stopped and the council has decided to spare no effort in stopping It.

The council gave Oberlin authori-ty to go ahead and try to ^eal up this open end of casing and the work will s tar t immediately.

The method will be to at tempt to drill a 12-inch casing down the same hole as the 10-Inch, oil well casing was drilled and lirlng th s 12-inch over the end of the 10-Inch which Is believed to be about 60 feet under the sunface. If the two casings are Joined successfully, the 10-lnch open end will be sealed with lead and concrete. If this is not succesrful some other method will have to be worked out.

State officials will follow the procedure with much Interest be-cause there are many other cases In the state where oil wells have polluted water supplies.

"fhe Lo'.rrtll branch office of the Department of State Issued 5,181 sets of motor vehicle license plates to car and truck owners of Lowell and vicinity during the year 1941. The establishment of the branch office here has proven a great con-venience.

Percy J. Read, Lowell implement dealer, was re-elected president of the Grand Rapids Milk Producers' Association a t the annual meeting of the association held January 14. Among the directors elected were Joseph Metternick of Alto and Joseph Winger of Caledonia.

Farmers Figure Income Reports

For many farmers In Michigan 1942 will be the first year they will have had to make out an Income tax report. This information has been revealed by K. B. 'Hill, head of the farm management depart-ment of Michigan State College.

Every farmer who Is single, or who is married and not living with his wife, must make a return If his income is more than 1780 a year. If he is married and living with his wife the returnable blank Is due If his gross income is J1600 a year. As his share in the all-out war effort, practically all farmers will welcome the opportunity to share in the tax.

The chain letter writers are on the loose again—this time using de-fense savings stamps as the medium of exchange. Tha t practice is Just aa unlawful as when dimes are solicited. Attention! is called to a ruling of the postmaster general branding chain letters illegal when defense savings stamps are solicited and declaring that persons mailing such letters are liable to prosecu-tion.

Lowell citizens will no doubt be interested In reading about post-war plans which were presented to the common council last Monday night by Daniel M. VanNoppen, representing the Public Work Re-serve of the federal government, which are outlined In another col-umn on this page. There are doubt-less two sides to the proposal therefore the mat ter should be weighed carefully.

The Common Council voted Mon-day night to give Harold Engle-hardt one Inch of the land on which the City Hall stands. This gift was made In a quit claim deed which the Michigan Trust Company requested as executors ^f the Pullen estate from which Mr. Englehardt was negotiating the purchase of the building. The Pullen building west wall, according to surveys, was one inch over on village property.

The Ledger Offers Farm Record Book

A number of farmers have al-ready takei. advantage of t h o Ledger's special offer on simpli-fied system for keeping agricultural records. This system enables every farmer to keep a set of books that will be of great benefit in making 1942 Income tax returns.

Another advantage of these Agri-cultural Records, which are bound neatly In book form. Is that they will also show the farmer where his losses, if any, have occurred, and thus enable him to do better In the future. Fur ther details are given in the advertlsemenl on page 2.

All interested are invited to call a t the Ledger office and examine a copy of the book.

(Written on the verandah of Cromer House, Shot Hail, Bridge-town.) i We feel certain Lowell ministers will be interested in an experience we had last Sunday morning at St. Matthla's Church. We were deeply Impressed by the Church of England service. I t seemed so old, so laden with tradition, that we free-and-easy Americans felt a little out of place, especially when cocoanut palms waved their frondn outside the high church windows and little Barbadian goats blfcnted sacriliglously at the Wrong inter-vals.

The choir consisted of twenty little Negro boys with long f^ces who sang the hymns with unusual fervor. I regret to say the church wao not filled—evidently the minis-ters in Barbados and those In Michigan have a common cause for annoyance.

The service was not particularly different from our own Protestant service except that psalms were rang by the ccngrep.ition, not spoken aloud, and there were sev-eral of them. The sermon was shorter but In splto of this the entire service required one hour and a half. The prayers for the success and safety of the armed forces of the British Empire struck a re-sponsive chord throughout the con-gregation; you could feel it. But the climax came at the conclusion of the service when the choir led us in singing "God Save The King."

I t was Interes'.inR to 'read the services to be read on board ship of His Majesty's Navy. Each seat in each pew had a little label on it. We were obviously Americans,

obviously strangers, so the usher placed us In seats labelled "Hotel Royal." This last Wednesday we atteadad the Annual Industrial and AgrlcMtural Exhibition at Queen's Park. It was Just like the Ionia Free Fair only on a smaller scale. For instance, the only methods for exhausting the kiddies were 10 buy them rides on a hand driven merry-go-round and a preht wooden slide built especially and rickety for the occasion.

But there were the usual innum-erable opportunities to fri t ter away a small fortune—spinning wheels and cocoanut candy and pink lemonade. There were exhibits of the beautiful mahogany tables and chairs made on the island, linen goods, bedspreads, tablecloths, pic-tures painted of Barbados by beach-combing artlcto. We saw a com-mittee of Judges tlpsliy awarding prizes to unappreclatlve barrels of rum. We saw clay pottery made on a potter's wheel turned by an unusually active pickaninny. We saw monkeys and love birds and parrots and unnamed animals, We saw a dog show with beautiful doge and ugly owners. We saw rabbits and chickens and pigeons.

a most interesting letter from Waiter Graham, of Lowell town-ship who Is with a Coast Artillery unit In Puget Sound, Washington. Walter, better known around Low-ell as "Red", was a 4-H dairy club member, also a local leader. He helped plenty In the development of the 4-H Club at Lowell.

His letter Is typical of the spirit of this country these days, "Remember Pearl Harbor." I dug up the atlas to see where FortCaoey was located. It Is on the main waterway in Puget Sound where ail water traffic must pass to Seattle, Tacoma and other cities in that region. Acroes the water from Fort Casey Is Fort Worden.

MANUFACTURERS SURVEY ON SPENDING

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS wanted to know whether or not the taxpayers' money was being wasted In rural communities by cither local, state or federal governments. To find out, the association went direct to the surest source of accurate Informa-tion, the editors of America's home-town newspapers. Replies were re-ceived from 961 country newspaper editors. Of that number. 41.8 per cent reported needless spending by their local governments; 67.1 per cent said their slate governments were wasting the taxpayers' money In needless spending, and 67.1 per cent said that so far as their com-munities were concerned, the fed-eral government was throwing mon-ey to the winds.

A considerable part of the editors did not content with mere general statements of waste, offered definite figures. For example, 161 said local governments in their communities could save a total of $17,905,900, an average of ?11I,216 for the 161 communities. As to state savings. 167 editors, representing 47 states, said a saving totaling $207,000,000 in state spending could easily be made. As to federil savings, 201 editors gave figures for savipgs in their communities totaling $114,432,200, an average of $569,314 per community.

In response to the question. "What broad activities of government mightnow be reasonably curlailed?". 65.3 per cent said cut out WPA and relief; 36.2 per cent were for slop-ping AAA and farm aid; 31.3 per cent believed National Youth admin-istration could be dispensed vyith. and 28 per cent would close the CCC camps. "•It is a safe bet that Secretary

Morgenthau would welcome those country editors as members of con-gress. Their presence in Washing-ton would insure the reduction in civilian expendit"res for which he is asking. It Is also a safe bet that those country editors know what they are talking about. No one of them would hesitate about war ex-penditures, but each would surely cut out the non-essentials at this time.

PRICE CEILINGS IN A WESTERN STATE a straw

vote was taken among workmen on the question of a celling for com-modity prices, for rents and for wages. Quite naturally, it showed a big majority, practically 100 per cent, for a ceiling on commodity prices and rents, and about the same percentage against a ceiling on wages.

We are all more or -less selfish. Most of us are willing and anxious to take, but we are short on giv-ing. The worker wants more wages and lower living costs. The farmer wants to sell for more and buy for less. The manufacturer wants high-er prices for what he produces and lower wages for his employees. But it does not work. If wo would take, we must also give, or the system fails. To prevent inflation, we should have a ceiling on commodity prices and rents, and also on wages.

• • a LUMBER MANUFACTURER WHO IS BIG GAME HUNTER

IN THE BUSINESS and financial world he Is Mr.' J. C. Nichols, lum-ber manufacturer in a big way. To his cronies, of which there are many and world wide, he is "Kid" Nich-ols. a name he acquired as cham-pion wrestler of the Northwest lum-ber camps when he was a young lumberjack.

While "Kid's" vocation is that ol a lumber manufacturer, his avoca-tion is big game hunting. From the shores of the Arctic ocean to the jungles of Central America, he has successfully hunted all known *.ypes of wild animals found in North America, and from Africa he has brought back specimens of some 40 different species.

When you go into bis Chicago of-fices you deposit your umbrella in the foot of an elephant, one of the largest ever killed in Africa; you hang your hat on a rhinoceros horn; you walk on layers of bear, lion, zebra, cougar and other skins His office and his home are vcrita ble natural history museums.

"Kid's" patron saint is Buffalo BUI Cody. He built, furnished and maintains the Cody museum at Co-dy, Wyo., and owns a large cattle ranch nearby, maintained especially as a place In which to entertain his friends. Each year he stages a Bui falo Bill birthday party in Chicago, at which buffalo steaks are provided for the 200 or more guests.

"Kid" Nichols can tell you, when he will many an entertaining ad-venture yam. He prefers that to manufacturing lumber.

WEATHER NEWS WE NEVER APPRECIATED the

But now those of us whojf are living on or near the coasts a r e j i really missing those daily weather " prognostications, which the military authorities claim would be of bene-fit to the enemy, even though we may have thought they were value-less. In the newspapers or on the radio they were of more interest tnan we had realized.

PLENTY PIGS

r P H E COMBINED PIG crop or j 1941 has been estimated at S5.-'000,000 head. The production of pigs j last fall was called 33 per cent j above the 10 year average. That will comfort people who had feared for the good old ham sandwich.

The grunting critters In the pig-pen c'on't look very handsome as they wallow In the mire, but the American people prize highly their pucculent flesh. Somehow a man feele like doing a real day's work, ai ter he has consumed a good quantity of nice sausage. The crisp thin strips of bacon atone for the fallings of many ordinary house-wives. After a ma'i has put down a good supply of Ham and eggs, he goes out In the world with new courage, and feels he could almost lick a giant.

There arc also four new mystery books on the rental ehelf.

We have finished ou'* Stanford Achievement tests for the half year. They are being used by 2nd through the 8th grade®. In our study of Geography we are writing

one day the whole country would have been horrified, but because they happen In a great many com-munities and are spread through-out a year we are not greatly shocked (unless our own loved ones are killed) and we almost regard them as something that cannot be helped, which Isn't true. Capt. Scavards of the traffic and safety division of the Michigan State Police says 1500 of these deaths were needless, adding; "Failure of somebody to do simply the things that common sense dictates caused those accidents."

The general public has now be-come confident that the Nation's efforts In producing fighting planes, bombers and other implements of war will proceed with maximum rc-aults, now that Donald M. Nelson is on the job as production chief and Knudsen promoted to the war de-partment to the rank of lieutenant-general. Nelson will cut red tape and Knudsen Is a past master In organizing for production.

The Congress has passed an act giving the president authority to advance daylight saving time one hour, that august body no doubt feeling that It ought to have some authority once in a while. Or to put It another way we are to have a modern Joshua by act of Congress.

We believe that some housewives have become unduly alarmed over a possible sugar shortage. The OPA declares tha t "sugar prices should-n't rise until present stocks In the hands of retailers are exhausted and then only fractionally if at all. There's no shortage of any food-stuff in sight although sometimes people create temporary local short-ages by 'runs' based on false rumor." The public Is advised not to be scared into hoarding.

[<Jo Our government has put Into

effect severe restrictions on the sale of automobile tires for civilian use. If your car is not engaged in work that is vital to national de-fense, it is impossible for you to secure new tires. Therefore, it is necessary that you get as much as possible from your present tires.

You must know several Important facts In order that you might use old and well worn tires safely. First, as tires get more worn, speed must be reduced. Second, tires that have become worn must be In-spected oftener.

You are also anxious to know how you can make tires last longer. Here

1 So. American Letter (Continued from first page)

But it wos a different matter with the vegetables and fruits. They grow prodigiously In this climate. And there were eddoes, chive shad-docks—overgrown grapefruit—sor-rel fruit , red and green lettuce, leeks, ginger roots, vari-colored poppers. I t was all excellent stuff, strange, appealing to the palate. As far as we were concerned, the exhibition was a success because wo were thoroughly tired.

This Island Is British through nnd through. You can never forgot It. Accents are English, the BBC is more Important than NBC, Bar-badian boys are fighting overseas. The United States is as much a foreign country as any other on earth. I recall being asked before we left to ascertain what would be the att i tude of the natives toward an American occupation of the islflnds of the Caribbean.

As far as Barbados is concerned, we should have a fight on our hands.

Let this actual event illustrate my point. In 1914. when the King of England was debating a declara-tion of war against Germany, he re-ceived a telegram from Barbados. It read: "Go ahead! Barbados le behind you!" ,

The Island is a complete unit.1

with its own government, police system. 'and so on. But It is Eng-lish. and therefore different from what we have known. The islanders have been very kind to us; but I honestly would not have been sur-prised to be asked aniyi time if we were still bothered by the Indians where we come from.

I th ink I should like to say now that we shall be going southward to Rio de Janeiro together. We leave Barbados on the thirty thousand ton luxury liner, 8. 8. Argentina, called the "Good* Neighbor Ship", and hope to be In Rio in time to cover the conference of Latin-Amer-ican nations with regard to com-mon defense of South America. This conference will be of inter-national consequence and we hope to give you a more Intimate cover-age of- It than Is ordinarily avail-able.

And bertdes, If we did not go on together, who would write Kate's Corner?

I t is difficult to leave this Island Paradise, to bid farewell forever to the blue Caribbean, but the most vital and fascinating par t of the Journey is now at hand and we look forward to it with anticipation!

Town Hall Talks No doubt, most radio llsfencrs

hove 6t some time or other listened to or heard of "Town Meeting of the Air." radio's most controversial pro-gram. Here is a glimpse of the "be-hind the curtain scenes," according to George V. Denny, president and moderator of Town Hnll in New York city. The uudience is assem-bled an hour before the broadcast, wltli the principal radio talks gone over ahead of time, ^efore the mike is turned on. the noisy and argu-mentative listeners are weeded out. The meetings are held for these American citizens who vote and think independently. Denny says. He thinks that this 20 per cent con-trols all elections and constitutes tyie Intellectual leadership of the nation. The Town Hall moderator believes democracy can work—If this leader-ship potential is developed and made effective.

Ant Control Ant control under present condi-

tions is a continual nuisance brought about largely from the fact that un-der present methods containers of ant poison have to be placed around the outside of buildings In order for the ants to feed. This is dangerous, as for as children and pets are con-cerned, and when the lawn is sprin-kled or It rains, the poisons be-come diluted and their effect de-stroyed. To solve this problem, an Insecticide vault hao been perfect-ed. It Is built Into the foundation of the house, with a vault every 17 feet or less. The insecticide remains in the vaults In Its original state, al-ways on hand at Its full efficiency, and out of sight and reach of chil-dren and pets.

Operation of Magnetic Mines Many people believe that magnet-

ic mines float to the surface at the approach of a ship and blow it to bits. However, they are not that tricky, npr do they float The needle of the magnetic compass which is attached to the mine normally points North. When a steel ship passes close above It the needle swerves, makes en electrical contact and Ig-nites the mine lying on the bottom, retting off an explosion which wrecks the ship. Because the mag-netic field Is effective only at fairly close range, the. mines are success-ful only In ihcl low' waters, have been dropped by daring German avi-ators In the Thames estuary and very close to shore.

Income Tax Facts (Editor's Note;—Below will be

found another In the series of ar-ticles dealing with the filing of In-come tax returns. I t Is suggested that each article be carefully read and saved for future reference).

Third Article

The Revenue Act of 1941 provides a simplified method of computing Income tax In thc case of Indi-viduals whose gross Income Is de-rived wholly from salary, wages or other compensation for personal services, dividends, Interest, rent, annuitieo, or royalties, and does not exceed $3,000. A new Form 1040A has been provided for taxpayers who are entitled to and elect to use such method. A table on the reverse side of this Form shows the amount of tax on Increasing amounts of gross Income af te r the proper al-lowance of $400 for each dependent, If any.

The tax under the islmpllfled method Is the same for each $25.00 block of gross Income and the tax-payer need only ascertain Iw which block his gross income (less allow-ance for dependents) falls to de-termine his tax. A flat reduction of 10 percent has been made in arriv-ing at the amount of tax shown In the table for deductions such charitable contributions and taxes paid, so that the taxpayer who uses this method does not list these but gets an au^Vrxatlc deduction of 10 percent.

Under the simplified method the status of a person on the last day of the taxable year Is the govern-ing factor In determining the ex-emption level ($750 for single per-sons and married persons not living with husband or wife, and $T,500 for married persons living together) as well as the credit for dependents.

A husband and wife living to-gether on t v -i last day of the taxable year may file separate returns on Form 1040A if the gross Income of, each Is f rom the prescribed sources i A and does not exceed $3,000, or they may file a single joint return- on that Form If their combined Income is f rom the prescribed sources and does not exceed $3,000.

Thc use of the simplified method Is optional with the taxpayer but once an election hah been made for any year, it is irrevocable for that year. If a taxpayer files a return under the simplified method for the taxable year he may -not thereafter file a return under the general pro-visions of the law for that year. Conversely, If he files a return un-der the genera! provisions for any taxable year, he may not thereafter file a return under the simplified method for that year. However, a new election Is allowed for each succeeding taxable year.

Farm Boys Finish Profitable Year

The Part-Time farm night school for out-of-school boys has com-pleted another successful year un-der the leadership of John Kleln-heksel. agriculture Instructor. An average of 14 young men attended the bi-weekly meetings on the gen-eral topic "Producing Farm Com-modities Efficiently."

Recommendations developed by students a t the close of the course were as follows:

1. Produce farm products to fit the farm, community and markets.

2. Make better use of time by having a well-planned program.

3. Make use of farm records and other Information which will aid the farmer, such ae bulletins, night schools, clubs, county agent, etc.

4. Produce batter livestock and higher quality field crops.

5. Better soli management In-cluding crop rotation, fertilisation, erosion control.

6. Set u-p a good farm sanitary program to help control plant and animal diseases and parasites.

7. Provide proper bousing which is eeonomically constructed and properly arranged.

8. Set up production standards which will be a challenge to the farmer .

9. Set up a sound financial pro-gram.

10. Farm with a great deal of common sense.

Eight young farmers participated In the diecusslons. They were Peter Leeman, William Wright, Oren Ford, Howard Kropf, Royal Clark, Bud Myers, Lawrence Myers, Rus-sell Coons.

Last spring the Library Inaugu-rated the trailer delivery service to all branch and member schools. Tho system just nicely got under way when echool was dismissed for summer. By September plans were well grounded for this service and and the increase in circulation Is due In large part to this book de-livery plan to the schools. The County was divided Into two sec-tions. and books are delivered to every member school once month.

Corn Champs Give Success Recipe

Edward Doubet (left) and Floyd Hincr

CHICAGO.—"You've got to feed the soil if you expect the soil to feed you!"

That's what Ed Doubet and Floyd Hincr will tell you. And they'll prove to you that soil improvement not only helped them produce bump-er crops but put them in the front rank of farm folks in the United States.

For Doubet and Hincr are the Com Kings of North America. They won that honor jointly at the rerent International Grain and Hay Show in Chicago—the first time the cham-pionship had ever been split. Their 10-ear exhibits of hybrid corn were so nearly perfect, the judges broke the deadlock only by awarding a co-crown.

Doubet, who farms 340 acres near Hanna City, HI., keeps up his soli's productivity by being eternally vigi-lant about its fertility level. He puts back into the land plant food ele-ments removed by crops. He limes regularly and uses a generous appli-cation of 0-20-20 fertilizer every year. He iollows a regular rotation

developed by Purdue University agronomists.

The key to Hiner's success is soil conservation. He and his father are firm believers in crop rotation, the use of legumes, lime and fertilizers to build up and maintain the soil's fertility. They believe, likewise, in livestock, feed 250 hogs and numer-ous catUe and return the manure to the land.

An essential feature of the Hiners' program is the use of fertilizer. On all the corn land a heavy applica-

New Constitution

An Important question of state government, which must be an-swered by the voters next Novem-ber. has been over-shadowed by the war crisis and other Issues of more or less political complexion. .

That Is the proposal to revise Michigan's constitution.

A similar proposal was submitted in 1926 and turned down by the voters 285,000 to 119,000. The need for revision has been argued spor-adically by various interests in certain sections of the state, but the question has not come to the voters since Its t€rndown 16 years ago..

Justice George E. Bushnell of the state eupreme court Is chairman of a study commission of 32 members appointed by Gov. VanWagoner. Twelve sub-committees will be as-signed to study specific sectioos of the present 38-year-old constitu-tion.

If the revision proposal is ap-proved by the voters in November a constitutional convention commis-sion must be elected at the next spring election to do the revision Job. The Governor's study group may recommend complete or partial revision, or some specific changes, or leave It to the voters to (fcclde whether any change a t all Is needed.

Using Soot

Save the soot that accumulates In the chimneys and fireplaces. Apply it in- dry form on your lawns or make a liquid of It which is a good fertilizer on plants. To make the Hquld, mix the soot with water, let it stand until the water is clear. Do not use It more frequently than twice a week on the plants.

CHAPTER HI

Joan felt Kar l ' s irritation towards Sybill. "My parents are both dead , " she explained. "Syb feels that she has to look af ter me . "

But even Joan was annoyed to find Sybil waiting up for them la ter that night.

"It 's almost two o'clock," Sybil snapped. "What 's the idea?"

Karl Miller looked amused as he stood hat In hand in the doorway. "In that case, I shall say good-night without fur ther delay."

When he had gone Joan turned furiously to her sister. "Why d i d , . . . . ,. ... . . you have to say that? I 'm old enough b e ' V*1 1 " k , e h l r n ' to manage my own affa i rs ." 1 w n n t " » , h e , P- B u t 1

this man who had offered to help her sister. This strange enigma that was Karl Miller.

At six o'clock Joan decided to go home for dinner. In two hours she could easily make it and she w a s j eager to tell Sybil of her good for-tune.

Her sister looked up in surprise as Joan burst into thc living room.

"What on earth arc you doing home? You didn't by any chancr quit?"

"Don't be silly!" Joan cried, throwing her hat on the table. "I have wonderful news for you. K a n can get you a job at the Ritz Dcaut\ Salon."

Sybil was genuinely surprised "The Ritz? That smar t new shop on Post s t r ee t?"

"Nothing less! Isn't it wonderful? Karl knows the owner. He's goinf to call her and fix it up for you."

"But it 's one of the best shops in town." Sybil said unbelievingly.

"Of course! Wasn't it nicc of him? Honestly, Sybil, how can you dis-like a man who is so kind? I m a g ne his thinking about a job for you to-day. of all days, when he's so busy with the club opening!"

Sybil was standing by the win-dow. "Doesn' t look like a very good night for It. I t 's going to ra in ."

"Is that all you can s a y ! " Joan cried indignantly. "Kar l said may-

inged rooms. "You've got to quit; working for Karl Miller! You've got; to quit tomorrow!"

The sisters stared at each other In the dimly lit room. Joan th /ew her head back defiantly as she cried, "You've made Karl angry! You hart no right to do tha t . "

Sybil smiled ruefully. "He looked more amused than angry. " I t ' s u p ! . , , , lo me to look a f te r you, Joan . I black dress to work.

much." Joan did not notice the coldness

of her s is ter ' s reply. She was hap-pily unconscious of the expression on Sybil's face.

"How about dinner? I 'm s tarved. I have to be back at the club by eight."

Sybil broiled the chops while Joan made a salad.

"I see you're wearing your good What 's the

The other sat down and crossed his long legs. "A short one. I have to get out front again. Things look good, Karl . . What do you think of the club. Miss Le land?"

At the unexpected question ad-dressed to her. Joan started. " I t ' s very nice," she replied, dark lashes sweeping over her embarrassed green eyes. She had an uncanny feeling that Paul Sherman was star-ing a t her. conscious of her em-barrassment . She was so confused that she made three mistakes in one line. I t was not easy for her to turn emotion off and on as Karl Miller did. She marvelled at his coolness ! as he sat on the edge of his desk [ and talked to Paul.

"By the way." Paul was saying, his eyes 8*111 on Jonn, "Er i c wants to see you. He's in the bar . Wants you to meet some people."

•TH go then. Coming. Pau l?" Pau l finished his drink. " I 'm right

with you, Kar l ." Joan was relieved when they had

gone. She pushed back her chair

And how pleas-ant it is to feel th i s glow of good will , and to th ink gra te fu l ly of f resh oppor tun i t i e s to be bet tcr l Pe rhaps one is h e a r d to asser t sol-emuly that only wisdom and in-dependence shal l cha rac te r i ze his conduct in the f u t u r e . Many pur-pose more earnes t ly than eve r he-fbre to put a seal upon the i r lips, lest they may ott'end by fool ish or fact ious r e m a r k s . Others resolve to avoid the pi t fa l ls of intemper-ance, indecision, or delay. They hope that h u m a n abil i ty and judg-ment will help them to wi ths tand temptat ion at all t imes.

"Then you will quit working for Karl Mil ler?"

"No. I will not. I 'm twenty ye a r s old, Sybil; and I 'm not going to let you or anyone else run my l i fe ."

The grandfa ther ' s clock In the cor-ner chimed.

"Two-thirty," Joan observed, evading Sybil's worried glance. "We'd better get some sleep. Don't ynu have lo work In the morn ing?"

"No. Today was my last day. F rom now on I 'm one of the un-employed."

"And you expect m e lo quit my job? Oh, no. Syb! I 'm making a good salary and whether you think so or not, Karl is a gent leman."

"Maybe so," Sybil said as she snapped off thc lamp, "but I don't t rust h im."

The next day Joan Leland arr ived

Mulford. Joan put the salad bowl on the

table and set places for two. "You know how I feel about Karl. Syb!" she said In a low voice. "Why make ll ha rd for m e ? "

"All r ight! F rom now on I ' m not saying another word. You can do just as you like. Joan . Maybe It's none of m y business, af ter a l l ."

Joan put an affectionate a r m about her sister. "Don't feel that way, darling. But give m e a little credit for knowing what I 'm doing. I 'm not a child, you know."

Sybil smiled as she turned back to the stove but she said no more.

As Sybil had predicted, It was raining when Joan reached the club out the weather had not seemed to affect business. Already the flrst guests were arrlv.ng. The ba r was crowded. Gay laughter, conversa-

Cables for America's Battle IN THE past year, while the nation was preparing for the present struggle, Michigan Bell spent $28,000,000 largely to meet the need for increased tele-phone sen-ice. *

Part of that total went into new build-ings, additions and new central office equipment. Bnt a large and important share was buried in the ground — in the form of telephone cable. 448,000 miltu of new telephone wire were used in the cables placed by Michigan BeD

in 1941—enongh wire to go more than 18 times around the earth!

Hundreds of miles of new cable bring telephone service to military bases and munitions plants. Other hundreds sup-ply the swiftly growing districts of de-fense workers' homes. As long as the nccesnary materials can be obtained, your Telephone Company will do its level best to provide good telephone service for all who need i t

of dress Joan knew Karl would ap-prove. Heavy silver earr ings were her only ornament , and she had used a touch of mascara , a dash of dark red lipstick. Joan had the assur-ance of a woman who knew tha t she looked her best. Her green eyes sparkled as she closed the office door behind her .

"Good afternoon," she said de-murely.

Her employer was not the type to evade Issues. " I 've been thinking about your sister. Joan. Tell me something about her ."

Joan removed her hat and coat and smoothed her black hair before she replied. "Sybil's a little low r ight now. You see. she's jus t lost he r job. The beauty shop where 5he worked has been closed."

Karl laughed. "Then perhaps that was why she was In such a bad h u m o r ? "

He said It with such apparent hon-e s t y that Joan was not angry. She sat down at her own small desk be-side Karl ' s and mechanically Insert-ed a sheet of paper In her typewrit-

er . Karl suddenly leaned forward.

"Would it please you If I could help your s i s te r?"

The girl 's lovely face lifted Inno-cently lo his. "Oh Karl, could you?"

" I think so. A friend of mine, a Mrs. Murdock. owns the Ritz Beau-ty Salon. If I ask her, I feel sure she will be able lo use another ex-perienced gir l ."

Joan ' s eyes were shining. "The Ritz Beauty Salon! Oh. Karl , that ' s wonderful!" I t was one of the best shops In town. Sybil would be thrilled.

"Of course ," Karl continued. "your sister may not want any as-sistance f r o m me since she so ob-viously dislikes me . "

" I ' m sure Sybil will apprecia te it very m u c h , " Joan assured him. "It was sweet of you lo think of her.

working for Arthur Mulford. Now everything was different. Life had turned a fresh page, which Joan felt sure would be filled with adventure. It must have been fate that she an-swered Karl Miller's advert isement. Fate that Mr. Mulford had gone out of business and been forced to fire her.

She was thinking so intently that when he opened the door she felt the color rush into her chceks. And she knew that his keen eyes had observed her e m b a r r a s s m e n t

Karl seemed pleased. "Every-thing's going fine. Couldn't be bet-ter. By the way, I spoke to Mrs. Murdock. Tell your sister she can s tar t work Monday morning."

"Oh thank you!" Joan cried. " I t ' s so kind of you. K a r l ! "

He rose, came around the desk. "Has It made you happy. J o a n ? "

"Of course," her eyes fa l tered be-neath the steel-blue eyes.

Karl Miller laughed softly as he drew her Lito his powerful arms. Sybil's warnings rang In her ears but the pounding of her hea r t over-came them as her Hps blindly met his.

There was s t range magic in Karl Miller's kiss. How long Karl held her In that embrace . J o a n did not know. When he released her l.e put a hand beneath her chin and looked deeply into the green eyes that were filled with emotion.

"Oh, Ka r l ! " Joan cried softly, but before she could say more the office door opened and a man entered.

His eyes caught the Utile scene and he turned to go. "Sorry. Karl! See you la ter ."

Jc^an turned back to her desk with flaming cheeks but Karl Miller did not seem embarrassed. " I t ' s all right. Paul! Come on In. I don't think you've met my new secretary. Miss Leland. this Is Paul Sherman ."

Keeping adequate financial records is the

surest way to avoid tax difficulties. Not only

does the federal law require the fa rmer to

keep ample records but experience and com-

mon sense point the wisdom of such practice.

With the importance of f a rm financial

records in mind, the Lowell Ledger has been

able to complete arrangements to furnish, in

combination with a year's subscription to the

paper, a copy of "Agricultural Records/ ' the

easy accounting system for farmers , at a

special price of $1.79.

The regular price is 55.50 and only by

offering the record system to you with a

year 's subscription to your newspaper can

we supply it at this remarkable special price.

Here ts how the offer works. If you are £

subscriber to this paper, you merely extend

your subscription for one year at the usual

price and are thereby entitled to buy one

copy of "Agricultural Records" at the special

price of $1.79. If you are not a subscriber

now, you may subscribe to the paper for one

year at the regular price and become entitled

to buy one copy of "Agricultural Records"

for the special $1.79 price.

If you think of trouble when you think of

making income tax returns, you need a copv

of "Agricultural Records" because i t :

1. Requires no bookkeeping knowledge.

2. Takes only a few minutes a week.

3. Makes a permanent record of your in-come and expense.

4. Shows how to figure f a rm income and deductible expense for tax reporting.

We'll be glai? to show you a copy of "Agri-

cultural Records" and explain just how to

use i t The whole thing is so simple that the

explanation will take almost no time.

Stop in at the Ledger office next t ime

you're in town and talk it over.

Then and there he resolved to be a champion. Last spring he ob-tained some Hybrid U. S. 18 seed. He gave special attention to fertiliz-ing, tilling and cultivating. He spent five hours a day hoeing c o m many t imes during the growing season.

His hard work war rewarded when the judges a t the chow pronounced his c o m one of the finest entr ies ever exhibited.

Evere t t has learned the value ol soil improvement f rom his fa ther . Mr. Smiley realizes that fertility is his greates t a s s e t So, on his 80-acre f a r m near Miiford, he follows a rotation of com, oats and alfal fa . And he believes in putting back into the soil plant food elements needed lo mee t the demands of heavy-yield-ing crops- This yea r he limed his soil a t the r a l e of 2V4 tons per acre and m a d e a heavy application of •iupprphosphate.

The methods used on the Smiley farm have proved effective on mil-lions of other com belt f a r m s . F a n n -ers realize that fertilized com is better corn.
