'. Here's a letter we received today- from a local person prompted by the lack of a flag on our square's flagpole. Read it through then let your conscience be your guide. Dear Folks at home and friends Not long ago I wasn't doing much and, being rested up (I was awfully tired when I got here) I thought I'd go home for a bit. (I have moved, you know or did you?) There. was quite a crowd and' a . nice, kind-looking man put a wreath by the honor roll and then talked some. 1 liked him. He was nice. I. "looked at my name and there was a gold star by it. It wasn't there the last time I looked. Then I looked around. "Maybe I'll sea some of my old friends," I thought. But I only raw one or two. I watched the firing squad. I could have done that, easy. Then I saw the flagpole. It was empty. Seems like it was half-mast when I moved up here. "That was why I came up here," I thought. Because of the flag? But maybe they have forgotten. And then I saw my mother and father. Good old mom. I ' liked her. And dad there was nons better. There were tears in their eyes, tho --maybe they had seen the flagpole, too. So I hurried back up here for we never see any tears here.' And everyone is sokind and good. I hoped none of my friends (there are a lot of us up here) wouldn't notice that my home town didn't have any flag on its pole. . Come back again, you say? not likely. I like it here and I'll just wait for my folks to come, for I am sure they will. I didn't want to come, when I did, but now that I am here I want my folks to come,, too. Good-bye I'll be seein' you, . hi-v.o f A BQYi i , '1 -.. . :V.-. MRS. JGRANVILLE HENDRICKS had us all upset this morning when she called to tell us about their fine bird-dog, MAX, having disappeared. MAX musta just gone visiting, too, 'cause she called back a few minutes later to tell us he'd come back. With bird season just starting, losing a dog like that would be termed a major catastrophe by any real hunter. John W. Setzer Dies Wednesday In Hospital Here - John W.

Bumper Crops Harvested Over Nation This Year WASHINGTON, Nov. 14 America's biggest farm harvest in history virtually was in the bins today. The agricultural department said ideal harvest weather in October improved both the quantity and quality of most crops and boosted the production index points above the former 1942 high. Cotton and cottonseed were the only notable exceptions. The department said that a prospective crop of 3,580,672,000 bushels of corn the largest on the books means an all-time yield of more than 165,000,000 tons of foods and feed grains. Coupled with history's largest deciduous fruit crop and record three points above the former 1942 high or near-record- crops of many other farm products this assures Americans their most plentiful, food supplies on record. May End Curbs It also may spur the end of the government's remaining restrictions on grain. These curb distiller's grain and limit the production of flour for domestic use to 85 per cent of last year. The prospective corn yield tops the former record of 3,023,000,000 bushels in 1942 by about 177,000,000 bushels.
