FLAMES RAGING (Continued From Page One) command attacked Kuala Lumpur, 200 miles north of Singapore, Saturday. A Tokyo Domei agency dispatch said 40 B-29s participated in the attack on Singapore and caused only "extremely sligb|" damage. Two superfortresses were shot down and third damaged, Tokyo said. Superfortresses which struck at Nagoya, Japan's third largest city with 1.400,000 inhabitants, caught the defenders offguard by bombing from 5,000 instead of the customary 20,000 feet. Le May Said the Japanese lacked automatic weapons for use against low-altitude raiders. No fighter opposition was reported. Anti-aircraft fire was weak at first, but ihereased as the raid wore on. Tokyo claimed 22 of the big planes had been shot down and more than 60 damaged. Airmen over the triangularshaped target area adjoining Nagoya palace midway in the attack estimated that 50 to 75 percent of the area already was in flames. They said they could see the fires 95 miles at sea. 0 Earlham President To Resign Position Richmond, Ind., Mar. 12.—(UP) —Dr. William C.

Not one inch of ground must be surrendered to our enemies without a struggle.” through 1910 and then represented file government in international arbitration cases for the next 19 years. He gave up his internatioiial law practice to accept the Earlham presidency.

CAM GET • More Bushels per Acre F . • Higher Qualify Oats I • More Feed for Stock and Poultry t • Extra Dollars from Your Oat Crop By Raising The New Disease Resistant, High Yielding VarietiesTAMA, VICLAND, BOONE or MARION

WHY BE SATISFIED with low yields per acre and poor quality oats when you can get higher yields and higher quality oats by following this simple three-point plan ... the plan that is bringing increased income to shousandsof Illinoisand Indianaoatgrowers. Here's all it takes to do the iob; 1. Rid your farm of all varieties susceptible to leaf rust, stem rust, and smut. New varieties have been developed which have all the good qualities of the older strains and, in addition, are resistant to rust and smuts. 2. Plant only the new improved varieties which are recommended by your State Experiment Station. These new varieties will yield 10 to 15 per cent more than the old varieties, if 1945 is a normal year. If 1945 is a bad rust year, these new varieties should yield at least 50 per cent M»re oats.
