Don’t expect to receive the Daily Democrat If your subscription has expired. I'uder pr««eut conditions it is impossible for several reasons to continue it —O Reports show that two-thirds of the Italian casualties are men who have either surrendered or been captured. Maybe they don’t want • to fight very badly. —o A Victory Garden will help you more than any one else. You can thus have ail the vegetables you Med without paying any attention to the ration books. —o Why don’t some smart congressman ba< k a bill for a ceiling on taxes? He might wind up as the dark hoise compromise (andidate in one of the national conventions next year. —o—o A number of the boys In the service are coming home bacause they are past thirty-eight and just in time to see some of their buddies of the same age jiut starting oft. It’s a little hard tc figure. —o Sign up when the Chamber of Commerce committee calls next week to promote a fund for keep Ing the alleys and streets clean tb< next eight or nine mouths. It's worth many times th* little ro will be asked to pay. —o Less politics and more sttmtlor on how to help win the war am provide a lasting and happy peace would after all be the best politic any member of that body could play. The people are sertoua about this whole matter. 0 -O We are getting Into the thiA c the war aad we will be there until it’s over.

hid some idea of where the money Is coming from to carry It out while paying off the war debt. It’s a goal werth while and certainly we should re planning for the post-war period. —o Memberships are coming in nicely for the Red Cross but contribu--1 tions for larger sums than one dol- , iar are needed to meet the 111.700 quota. The Moose lodge showed ;he props r spirit when they gave 1 3100 this week. Many more similar donations are needed. —o I During a heated debate in the Colorado legislature over a bill to prohibit the sale of hoise meat, one senator said his deg could eat it and he didn’t see why he couldn’t To that a colleague retorted: “Your dog can scratch hie tar with his hind leg. but let’s see you do It.” o—o — The Red Cross is an organization that takes care of those In distil as. whether it be in the far-flung islands of the Pacific, in Africa or in Eurcpe. whether in the northern lands ot Alaska and the Aleutians or somewhere in this country where disaster has come. Give as liberally ar you can. Street Commissioner Sauers has arranged for a man to make daily tripe in the down town section of the city to gather up scraps and haul th«m away. To do that he needs funds that are not available and supported by the Chamber ot Commerce a committee will cal! on business men next week asking that they subscribe a small amount to be paid weekly to cover the coat It's worth a hundred times the cost. —v -O-— The general assembly of 1943 . passed and sent to the governor I 321 bills, which is sixty-four more than the “ripper” session of two i years ago did. That’s more startling because most of the bills in ’hat 41 session wive designated tc transfer patronage from the Democrats to Republicans. As one of the members of this year a show said, "most of the time was devoted to two-bit legislation." And then they raised their own pay Wow—what an odor? -0 The recent legislature created ten commissions while raving and ranting about bureaucracy in Wash ingteu. Perhaps soma of the com missions will be worth the money but Judging from past records such things are just the means of pass mg a buck to get out of a hot spot We will no doubt find they are just some more bureaus that coat money i:id don't amount to a tinker's doggone. And the pity is that they were established by a general as sembly which had advertised long ind loud they bated such thing* O O Meat, batter and canned fish will be rationed starting March »ih aad we will be required to get long on approximately two p onds <f meat per person each week.

"Falsie, he safe now, Mistah An- | gelo!" Senor Fernandez sighed. “Life, she ees full of dangairs, Robert. You go pul salve on the foots of hecm." "Dat Injun any good to' doctuhin* horses, y’reckon? 0i ! salve sho* do tmtll bad." “Who knows? Some foots Jose Calaverriaeista 'as eure, some foots he 'as no cure.” On the way back to Del Mar, Fireman Dunnevan had grave misgivings. Ho believed that the time had come to strike a balance. "Look, Benny—” -Yeah." "Sedgwick paid us five grand for Shamrock an’ that,'a a good price. We eleant up eleven hunnert besides. Why ain’t we satisfied? Why ean’t we go back to the Trimble an* bo jest U.S. sailors. Why. Benny?” Seaman Linn snorted. -’At Shamrock hone to worth fifty grand. Right, Garvey?" -As the Lewd is my witness, yes! I could, frankly, sell him all day at that figure.” But Tim beetled his black brows and worried “I still say it’s outa our line, Benny. You could do slicker with a big motorsickle raffle or lemon ranches or a beauty contest, you could. Yenel” “Ain't you forgettia* oomepin, Tim?” -WhutF -Our promtoe to Mias Templeton.

An* whatll that poor gal say when she finds out?" "Gee. Benny, that’s right!" Benny turned to Votes Garvey. “But, oh, no. Tim wanta to quit on the peer gal an* ruin her romans i. He ducks out. so Sedgwick ean win the big Handicap with Shamrock an’give Mtoe Templeton the air." -Frankly, I ean’t bring my self to believe Cousin Timothy will do it." "fa! But, Benny—" "With Sedgwick ifb horses or marriage, Tim. He sant beudto both. You heard what she said. But ! don't suppose bustin’ up the aurriageable happiness of a Navy junior an’ rataring a guy that’d be a good dyer for the U. 8. Navy, means a thing to Tim, Cousin Voice. He’s too ouper-fiuous about the higher things of Ufa, m on an* so forth.” “1 am, frankly, nonpieseed!" “But. Benny, I only said—" “Tim fiddtoa whilst Borno bento." “Ner!

he had watched “Erin Go Brngh” gallop six furlongs from a hidden vantage point. Thero had been no hint in the morning papers that Linn-Dunn Stable had sold its new sensation. Silent Thomas appeared to have done his work well. If this was a tangled web, Bert nssured himself, he should have gone in for weaving them at an earlier age. He had been missing a lot of quiet fun. “Well, well!" he exclaimed,blithely, “if it isn't Little Poison and Big Poison. What can 1 do for the Navy this fine morning? Or have you gone 1 back to those southern accents?** Beaman Linn was bland. “We're sailors, Mr. Sedgwick," i he said. “Yerse! We told a lie because—" , “Pipe down.
