He was there ar a guest while on a bond welling I tour. O— O—Judge Luther E Barnes of dis- i trict court at North Brookfield. ! .Mass., has quite a record.

V.'PB director. Armament for the army and navy will be ordered through this civilI ian office, a decision which was i made hy President Roosevelt, as < oinmander-in-chief of ail the branches of service. It m In keepllng with fundamental constitutional | intent that our government be run by civilians keeping away from the i competition that might arise between army and navy commanders. —o The majority of 130 million Americans have in their own minds a time when the war will end.

army and navy officials do not liaxard a guess Why not make up ' a pool at a dollar a guana. put the date on which you think the conflict will wind up on a piece of paper, and when peace does come, the on.- who is nearest the actual date, take the pot of gold. That would be a favorite American past time, in keeping with the urge to gamble —o For the first time since last May. when the quota system was estab- * lished.

Heavy Rail Traffic Seen For Holidays Ask General Public To Cut Down Trips (By United Press! President Mercier of the Southern Pacific railroad warns that if civilians don't cut out unnecessary rail travel, '‘somebody will have to do it for them.” The Southern Pacific had adopted a strict “Armynavy flret" policy.
