contests are thus conducted there need be no fear of a dictatorship In a country where elections are held each two years. If you know the fellow who sells 1 the pop and peanuts, who knows a policeman, who knows the gatet man. at the St. Louis ball park, you ■ may have a chance to get a ticket 1 for one of the games there In the world series. No tickets are to be i sold outside the city so there is no * use to apply by mail. -0 It's September Ist and the autumn season approaches. There Is no place in the world where the next two or three months provide more pleasant weather unless this fall Is different from those we have known for several decades Plan to enjoy it. even if you have to do It by taking long walks or traveling on a crowded bus. Broadcasting from an official radio station In Berlin the other evening, one of the leaders of that country stated that they recognised the (act that the war was lost hut that they must fight on as hard as they can in order lo get the best peace settlement possible. It seems rather silly to sacrifice life and property when they know they will have to take the terms offered by the Allies. —o It ig hard to believe that cither Germany or Japan will resort to the use of poison gas as a final and desperate gesture in the war but there are some Indications. It is

reported that all German soldiers are being equipped with gas mask* j ard that millions ure being dlstrjb- | uted to civilians in that country. China reports that In several In- , stances the Japs have already used gas. They perhaps recognize the 1 fact that the Allied nations are pre- ( pared to return ten-fold any such I ’an attack but perhaps they have reached the point where they don’t | care and only want to cause ar much destruction as poa*lble. —o ] You inay not care about owning an airplane or even riding In one but you do want Adams county to continue its inarch of progress. That certainly will include at some , time an airport that will accommodate those who use this mode of travel What would a city be with- I out automobile parking places or I garages? What would we be with- 1 out railway stations? There Is no doubt that the next decade will j popularise the plane as a means < of tra»el and of hauling mail, ex- ' press and even freight It is there- j tore Imjmrtant that we take ad- < vantage of the opportunity now ! presented lor securing a 140-acre site tor a modern airport. The t meeting at Berne Monday evening 1 hould be an interesting one. If , sufficient support Is manifested we may expect a campaign to raise , funds with which to meet the required provisions of the site offer, i Wake up and help boost. —o Better Play Safe: For many years this newspaper wa* dead set against the Idea of universal military training in peace time. We have changed our mluds. For two reasons: 1. The next war (and who cau promise that there won't be a nest war?> probably will be started without warning, as Japan started her war with us. And it will certainly move fast — faster by far than f'.hls one. We will not have time to raise and train a great army from scratch. 2. This war ha* disclosed that a lamentably large proportion of Americans tn the years of their theoretical prime are physically and psychologically under par. A year's training al IS or thereabouts, with competent and compvlsury medical and mental attention, should correct this. [it is not aecessary to ba cynics! «snat the chances of a lasting

Mr. Roosevelt and the prime minister are overdue in their regular schedule of wartime meetings. They have met about every six months since Pearl Harbor but their last session together was at Cairo and Tehran last November and December. It was believed that one of the principal reasons for Mr. Roosevelt's recent trip Into the Pacific war area was to give him a firsthand background for such later I discussions with the British on future development* in the area The British, according to advices from Loudon. are stepping up plans for participating In the struggle against Japan.
