It has been replaced to some extent by the more modern "10S". known as the heaviest of divisional weapons. The 75mm gun costs $12,000 and has been converted by our Ordnance into a ‘‘blaster” twice as efficient as in the first World War.

Let's not permit Japan to get a footbhoid in Alaska, It would be just a jump from there to this middle ’v,--t country. Whatever It takes to etop them, we must provide and the way we can start helping today is by buying all the bonds we can, —o The coi n is coming along and a few rains will make it pop.

There Is a shortage of wheat in the county hut the bean*. oate. hay and other crops seem to be average. —o We will all be glad to turn in our < ar* or tires if they are needed to help win the war but the ale age Hoosier can't understand why a gasoline rationing is neces--,iry unless the rubber time saved Is to he used for some good purpose And it's certainly not being disloyal to think that. —o With school and college commencements over, thousands of graduates are planning their future. Those who tackle jobs with a future will be the ones to profit as will those who continue their education by attending higher st Ikmilh of learning.

O—O Th, farmers have their troubles these days witii a scarcity of labor ami dilfi'itlty m getting parts for mat hlnery but they may find comfort in the fact that they are not alone Every factory, shop and j story and every line of business is finding the going tough as they tune their joliw to the war necessi- :|<— Kiip smiling and working and no of these day* the Klin will ’ hlne again, not only over the white I i lift* of Dover but ovei Adams i • minty too. o—o Central tor* convicted ot fraud in connection with the performance of a naval contract will lose hi* American citizenship under legMlatiun now in the senate with a good i ham e of becoming effective.

O—O By mid November, if present plans of the emergency division tarry through, we will have fifteen million workers in our war production plants and by New Years day that nutntier will be seventeen millbttt. (letting them organised and going is a big job but It's being done. At the same time we will need many million men In 'he service, in the army. navy, air fort e* and other divisions It's a whale of an attempt that no other nation could begin to perform. We are adding to the factory force at the rate of a million a month. -0 In the recent primaries 5.793 voted were cast, at a coat to the county of $3,133.02. That makes each vote cost fifty-two tents. Had the vote been double, the cost would have been practically the same and the average only half the 52 <ents each. Many amiarently do not realise the Importance of voting. In those ><mntrte» m Em ope and other parts of the world where dictators rale, they never could have attained the power they have if the proper interest had been manifested in the right of elections We should strive oar utmost always to continue the Amerfesn way of life and one good way to do that |p to take a genuine interest in political aCairs Remember to vote uext November It's a great privilege and one that moans *• muck in ’.beat days when tbe economics of the wr-id la so ■poet O—O— A periodic heottb eotouUMtiou may add years to your life Through 'he reccgaitroa ot physical

change* at the earliest p< alible moment the progress of menacing 'degeneration and Infection may be stopped, and a suitable plan of living devised to maintain continuou* h-alth. That invaluable advice ie given in it recent editorial in Hygeia. Too many of us never go near the doctor unlcNi we aiiffer definite illness. We'll go on feeling "poorly" for weeks and month* and even years. During those weeks and months and yean* disease may progres* to the point where even modern medical science can't check it. Medical authorities recommend that complete physical examinations be taken every year, and twice each year after we pass middle age Those examinations should cover the entire physical system — lungs, heart, blood, the intestinal trad, teeth, fed, etc. In addition to tbe physical tests, the docor will inquire into habits of sleep. r«Ht. outdoor exercise, diet, and so forth. When that is done, the doctor will Im* able to write a health prescription. That prescription may not involve the taking of medicines. It may. Instead, deal exclusively with such matters as rest. work, eocinl adjustment* and recreation. In any event, It will probably lengthen life and make it healthier, happier, fuller — o —— Returning evil for evil makes moral progress impossible.
