Merchants will tell you In their announcements what they hav. to interest you at this Banter time. —o You will enjoy hearing Gregor Zicmer. famous traveler, lecturer and foreign correspondent, when he appears here June 11th. He Is one of the best posted men in America. O—O We still have a few of the n< w 1913 state highway maps, published by the commission and right up to the minute. The supply la limited so if you need one. better call and pick It up. They are free of roars*-. -0 The public should nnderstaud that much military news cannot be published. The Imai draft board is subject to orders from the government and this newspaper is trying to cooperate in every way pmmible with the code of wartime practices for the American press. Names of men t ailed to t amp cannot be pule llshed until the men have started. —o Tilt- etout hearted dcfeiidera of Bataan have again demonstrated their courage ami ability by gtoppthe Jap attack. One of the gunners on Corregfdor picked off a bomber that was flying more than feet high, a new record that has every body wondering whether the sky forts are out of danger. It ItsdiH imitussible but is vouched fur . by iln- military men. —o No more new toasteis. no mure Sippens, no more gadgets for the duration by order of the war products board. About thirty articles us household use arc included in the new order because the idauls are to be diverted to war material production. It will further remind u» that It requires the united efforts of every one to win a war and we must all sacrifice in numerous ways. -0 Sonic on*- with nothing elan to du wrote an Ohio editor asking him what the nationality and religion of General MacArthur is. The editor promptly replied. "I can think of nothing of lea* consequence than the nationality and religion of the general. He Is an American and that's what counts." This Is no time to hunt for petty things with which to stir up prejudice and feeling. —U Eew will find fault with the action of the 11 8. senate which voted 73 to b in favor of raising the pay of soldiers from 121 per month to 212 and all non-commissioned officers and second lieutenants. The boost Is not due to any efforts from the men themselves but from .the public, which fuels that every thing possible ought to be done fur them. The bouse will probably pass the bill with speed and the boys

will begin Io draw (tie Increased salaries. ——o 0 — ■ If you are not properly registered by April (th. you will disqualify yuitrself to vote hl the May primaries. If you are a first voter, have moved to a different precinct, have changed your name hy marriage or otherwise, or If you have failed to vote the past two elections, you must register or re-reg-ister to be qualified to vote. <lo to the county clerk's office or get In touch with your precinct committeeman. It is estimated that about ROO.oeo more acres-of sugar beets will be planted this spring In the United ■fates than ever before. That would Indicate, with a fair break on crop results, that the sugar production In this country can be materially Increased We have thought for a long time- that It would he to every one's advantage to grow more beets and produce more sugar. In thia territory, the acreage will be the largest ill thhistory of the Central Rngar company and nest fall's campaign should be another record breaker. —o We will do well this week to ponder on the lessons and teachings of the Muster who nearly two thousand years ago gave His life lo atone for the sins of man The world la torn by war. Ruffering Is pi> talent in many lands. Our own fair country has been drawn Into the worst conflict in all time. Wars are man made and will not occur when leaders realise that victor!** mad- by force of arms and against the- wishes and desires of their people, arc only temporary. After all God rules and East-r week should lie tilled with (hough's us Him and His teachings. —o First Lieutenant Ralph W. Graham. will report for duty as chaplain at Indlanatown Gap. Pa.. April 12th. For five years he has served as pastor of the First M<thodlat church of thia city, has proven efficient and untiring. He has devoted much of his time to Interesting young people aud Is well qualified to continue his work among the young men of the army. Rev. Graham served in the first world war ax a soldier and knows the problems and the duties us a chaplain. His many friends here and over Indiana will wish him well and will follow his career with interest. —o While there are some indications that the Japs have finally reached the limit for stretching out their Hues, don't get the Idea they are any where- near the end us their game. They have a great forte matured on the Siberian border, an army us a million in Burma and near India, have a half million on the Islands and more divisions at home, all equipped and trained. It will take a long. hard, keep-ever-at-them campaign to wut the war. Don't expect their people to give up. They think It ia the greatest thing they can du to give their lives for their country and they will tight to the last man. The United Nations cannot let up a moment —O The 1944 Election: The silliest piece ot propaganda that is going the round* in this country. Is that there will not bn a presidential election In 1944. We doubt if many people believe It. for nearly everybody has gone to school. The United Hutes is under a Constitutional government. Presidents come and go. but the country and It's government lives ou. The United Hlutes couatituHou was adopted Meptember 17, 17(7. in Philadelphia. Article two. Section one. provides. "The euecuttve power siiaU be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office dur Ing the term of four years .. .** Article Two tbea provided lor tire electing ot the President and

Vice President and no American | will cont-ud that any i lunge has been made. Spreading such propaganda Is a Nazi or political trick to undermine morale. People who don't think or know tbs' they are part of the government and that the power or right to elect a president Is in their bands, are dupes to the enemies of this country. If anyone tells you that the people of the United States ar* not going tu elect a President In 1944, put them down as enemies of the count y. or reply, ‘‘the heck they're not." Thh Is a democracy and we are striving and nghtiug to maintain it. President Roosevelt is the last man In tire world who would take one little iota us authority from the people.

Lenten Meditations (Rev Paul W Sihultz Zion Lutheran Church* JESI’S’ MISSION UPON EARTH "I can not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.'* Luke 5:33 When Jesus was upon thi< earth in His visible form fulfilling Hl* three year ministry He often came in contact with publicans and sinners. Publicans were men of the worst reputation. In scripture harlots and sinners often receive identical classification. Ru«-h people were greatly despised especially by the scribes and Pharisees; but Jesus was often found In their company, preaching to them and directing them upon the path of righteousness. Because of this Jesus' entire conduct in His ministry was nond*tnncd by the scribes and Pharisees. They considered themselves the righteous ones and felt Jesus had no right lo be so friendly wth publican* and sinners. Then Jesus answered them iu the words of the above named text: “I came not to call the righteous. but sinners to repentance '' In this stated truth Jesus coildemited them for their hypoericy and especially restated His mission upon earth and the purpose of Hix coming into this world. In our dally life today let men and women never sink Into that spiritual blindness and Ignorance which would have them assume that certain ones In human society are the ultra righteous and certain others are the publicans and sinners. That Is Pharisaism All of us alike are dally In treed ot the forgiveness of sin. all of ns alike are equally In need of our merciful Ravlor. He came to redeem all sinners, to make us ail fit unto eternal life by granting us Hix righteousness by faith. Thia is aud will remain the only hope of the World.
