The Red Cross campaign in Adams county will open March Ist. Let’s subscribe the quota of $16,700 quickly. I! may be a long time before tue world knows just what is now being done at the Big Three conference but some renutts will be seen in a few days. o—o Motorists should not forget that March Ist is the deadline for using 1914 tags. Get your new plate and new license this month and it may be well to remember that this is the shortest month in the year. O—O Nylon hose in the poetwar days are to be made from fine steel wire, according to reports. That's a cool bit of news and the girls don’t know whether they will prove c.s comfortable aa the old ones or not. O—O The fuel situation has eased a little because the past few days have been slightly milder. A week or two of higher temperatures would save thousands of tons of coal and make a lot of difference in rules and regulations. O—o The introduction of bills in the legislature is over except by consent of the members which will occur from time to time. They have some 750 measures to consider which ought to keep them fairly busy the next three weeks if they give due consideration to each. o—o You can still give something to the infantile paralysis fund if you eare to. Response so far has been very good but it’s such an important campaign that every one will probably wtah to contribute. You may do so by giving or sending yours to Herman Krueekeberg at the First State Bank or to Peta Reynolds at this office. Remember a year or so ago when Uncle Sam granted the right to pay only part of your federal taxes and carry the balance over. Well, that amount will be due March 15th and strange as it may have seemed then is just as hard to pay now as though it had been taken care of then. Those who pay ae they go are probably happiest. O—O•— Our navy and our fighting men are not stopping to celebrate the Manila victory. American forces know they cannot rest until Japan has been completely subdued so thfey are continuing with the slogFor a copy of tho Decatur Daily Democrat go to The Stopback on sale each evening

an, “On to the c<M»t of China, Formosa and Japan” and they won't stop until they get to all three places and control them. O—O— Tho Japs are licked in tha Philippines but there are enough of them t lurking around to keep up a guerilla warfare. They are start- . ing fire?, wrecking water mains and otherwise causing all the destruction possible. However, they are being cleaned out ond within a few weeks life will be more endurable in that territory than it has been for several years. -0 What will happen in Germany after they surrender Is as much an enigma for the experts as for the laymen. In the first place it doesn't look like they wiU lay down arms and if they do the demoralization will be so complete that there will

be no authority to reorganize. It would therefore seem that for several yeare at least a great responsibility will rest ou the shoulders of the victorious nations. —o—o— The Republicans are taking over affairs in Indiana and where th© governor lacks authority it is being granted by the legislature. They believe no doubt that to the victor belongs the spoils but there are some affairs in which the people wosld probably be served best by non-partisan operation if such a thing is possible in a state in which politics plays an important part of I life as it does in Indiana. O—O William Gross, chief editorial writer for the Fort Wayne NewsSentinel died this week from a heart attack. The news shocked many who knew and respected him ; ae a man of great ability. He had discussed important questions here on one or two occasions and was recognized as ft man who bad convictions and believed in them intensely. He was a conservative Republican of the old school and he never waivered. B O ■— General MacArthur is wisely ad- . vising and urging dlvince services in the Philippine territory, realiz- ] ing and believing that the great- , est victory that could come to that i war-torn nation would be in a re- ; vival and reorganization of church j work. God has been good to His people there and will continue to , help them and it la but proper that < Americana and Filipinos and Allied people of all other nations join in returning thanks to Him. , O—Ok—“People now are insisting with , ever-increasing vehemence that ail of the many and oftimes divergent uses of water which arc required ’ to meet the needs of modern life | must be provided for them. They are now particularly concerned haw ] this is accomplished. Results are 1 what they are after.

Dr. Croydon Wossell I Advanced To Captain Los Angeles, Feb. B—(UP)8 —(UP) Dr. Croydon M. Wassell, who received the navy cross and a presidential commendation for leading wonutlod soldiers to safety after the collapse of the Java defense in the early days of the war. has been promoted to the rank of captain. America Unable To Feed Postwar World Wasteful Habits Os Americans Are Cited Chicago, Feb! 8— (t’P) —Dr. Anton J. Carlson, consultant to 1 (h’e military planning section of the army quartermaster corps, said today that the belief that the American breadbasket will be full enough to feed the world after the war is “one of the war's greatest tragedies.”

| The "hard truth" is that this country will be able to do little more than keep peoples in warravaged nations alive—principally through shipments of whole grains, said Carlson, president of the American Society for the Advancement of Science and a member of the University of Chicago faculty. "Bread is the cheapest, most abundant food," Carlson said, in an interview. "Grain must be the ! main item exported to feed the | starving foreigners, yet we Americans waste in the kitchen and at j the table enough food to feed in or 15 million people,” he said in ■ an interview. “We could help the world, at I least temporarily, if we recon- ■ structed our wasteful habits and ( so much food did not go into the garbage can.” Carlson said the size of postwar grain shipments must of necessity depend on farm production and domestic needs,” but by judicial care, we can spare enough to sustain life until foreigners get started in their own food production.” He added that it would be some time before agriculture is restor- j ed abroad because families have been scattered and many farm lands have become battle fields filled with bomb and shell craters. “The principal problems in feeding the world, however, will be economic,” Carlson said. “How many nations can continue for how long to provide food free to starving countries — even if there were food enough in the world to give all people a good diet? “How quickly and by what means can we restore and improve agriculture in war-devas-tated countries, a task that must be done at the expense of bettersupplied and wealthier nations?"
