Automobiles did not provide quick transportation to night clubs, which did not exist, with their blare of saxophones and snare drums, their blues singers, scantily dressed women entertainers, round after round of alcoholic concoctions and their headaches for the morrow. The Victorian pleasures of the eighties and nineties were of a simple kind, but they were real. They made for a substantial citizenship that was not subject to hysteria. Today those city pleasures of the past are gone. They have given place to wild orgies of hilarity, which leave in their wake only reWe grets for lost opportunities. have imported the ways of what were the gay capitals of Europe and those ways were at least partially responsible for what has happened in Europe. They helped to make Hitler possible. People of our rural communities are today more typically American. They live a more rational life. They represent the culture of the nation. They provide vi.e foundation upon which our future must depend. If our civilization survives the world cataclysm, it will be because of the influence of our American rural communities. WHAT OF THE FUTURE, A MUCH-ASKE- QUESTION What will D WHAT LIES AHEAD? happen when the war or the emergency or the boom blows up? Such a day is coming. Some of my acquaintances in Washington assure me that there is nothing to fear. They tell me it has all been given thoughtful considera- tion. The government is prepared to provide. A bit of discreet questioning discloses that these acquaintances are eagerly waiting that as the day on which will be disclosed the failure of the American system of free enterprise, and the substitution of the state socialism of Germany, or the state capitalism of Italy. These two systems are so nearly alike that only a microscopical analysis can determine a difference, and both savor of Communism. How will the government provide? Can we keep on adding to the mortgage of approximately $5,000 that is plastered on every American family and on which it must pay an interest charge of some $150 a year? How far can we continue to add to an indebtedness that now equals close to d of the value of all our national wealth? Industry is not now permitted to accumulate any reserve to provide shelter for the rainy days ahead.

THE PAYMENT, at exceedingly high wage rates, of billions of dollars each year to American workmen and a drastic limitation on production of commodities for civilian use produce dangerous conditions for the creation of wild, uncontrolled inflation. Ways by which such conditions may be offset include a limitation on all prices, including wages, an exceptional and drastic tax rate on all incomes that are above those of normal times, or an enforced purchase of government securities. A commodity and wage g policy is possible under a totalitarian form of government, but has never proved successful in Union Bl and Police Work Out Training Plans For Meeting Needs of Civilian Defense WASHINGTON.

S. fertilizer is the is way in its leading government crusade for soil conservation and the abolition of wasteful self-evide- soil-mini- practices. If America is to produce more food, we must help our soils do the job. That means putting back into the land more fertilizer elements to help produce that food. Every pound of beef or pork, every quart of milk, every bushel of potatoes, com, wheat or oats, removes valuable plant food from the soil. Fertility Must Be Watched. Under normal conditions the total annual fertility loss to American farm lands is 16 million tons of nitrogen, 2 million tons of phosphorus and 36 million tons of potash. With the expanded farm program for next year, this total will show a marked rise. The need for an program of soil conservation, according to the Middle West Soil Improvement committee, is indicated by the fact that fertilizers and manures are applied at a rate that restores only a portion of the total plant food loss. Hope that soil conservation measures will be increasingly promoted is seen in the recent statement of Secretary Wickard that While the 1942 goals call for the largest production in history, we are not going to have to plow up the hills and plains to get it. Mistakes of the last war will not be repeated. Then America pulled 50 million of western grassland into wheat production. That led to the dustbowl, to overexpansion and disaster for thousands of farmers. ever-increasi- ng Concentrate on one approach t portant thing is to find out which approach is most convenient for you, and then stick to it In the three-ste- p approach you start from eight to ten feet behind the foul line, stepping forward with the left foot and sliding to the foul line on the same foot As the left foot moves forward, put the ball in motion by pushing it away from you toward the foul line.
