This means we dare not waste precious feed on unthrifty livestock or poultry. We must cull unprofitable producers — save more pigs — stamp out disease and para kites — prevent costly losses. _ We know from our many farm contacts that most of these production •’accidents” can be prevented. We are convinced that our food goals can be reached without additional labor or expense, and with the feed we now have, simply by plugging unnecessary production leaks and stopping easilypreventable loss, and waste. Accordingly, ail our part in the “Food for Victory” effort, we have volunteered for “active duty” in the service of feeders of this community to help t stamp out such wasteful Production Saboteurs. We will gladly call at your farm at any time to assist in such feed-saving practices as culling chickens — worming pigs — disinfecting houses, birds and animals against p arasites and disease—checking feeder and watering space, etc. Wo also offer <i helpful war-time production survey of your livestock and poultry, based on a series of practical production guides suggested and recommended by both national and state agricultural authorities. This "feed-stretcher” service is offered to every feeder of this community regardless of the feed he is using. Nor will you be obligated in any way. We only wish to share svi< h you and other patriotic Americans the important task of winning the Wax!

AROUNDTOWN (With J. B. C.) • A mention last week of the “Sunflower club” brought forth the knowledge that there are a great number of people who don’t know just what the Sunflower club is. Well, it’s an ancient and honorable association, no dues, no fixed membership—but there are of course some who attend moire regularly than others. It’s in continuous session every day the sun shii ?s from early spring to late fall. Politics, the weather, the war, vacationers, and other various and sundry subjects are given due discussion. Sessions sometimes last until 12 or 1 o’clock at night. Indeed one local lady said her husband stayed out so late the club should be named “Moonflower" instead of Sunflower. • Out at Oakwood, we saw two preachers, Bitzer and Deyo, each on the working end of a broomstick. And both of them in a good humor, as usual. • A magnolia tree in the Mel Di lien yard had six large blooms on it last week. • Did you know that practically* twenty percent of our local population is now in the armed services of our country? Get ready to back them up again in this next war bond drive. • Today is Friday the 13th—in case you care. • The county auditor’s office, which handles practically all the legal advertising for the county, adsolutely ignores all newspapers in the county except the two at Warsaw. Not a red cent will that office pay to newspapers in any of the other towns. Maybe they have thrown Syracuse, Milford, Silver Lake and Pierceton out of the county. It’s the only county, in the state of Indiana, where such a situation exists. Any newspaper in the county is legally qualified to carry county legal advertising, and in all other counties county officials divide up the county business so that all get a just share. • Noble Blocker (probably with help of the Mrs. and boys) went in this year big for a victory garden. Rides to and from the garden (several blocks away from home) on a bicycle, too. He isn’t the only one, of course, who has a fine garden, here —there are many.

• It‘s absolutely amazing—the inner workings of the Pickwick block. Os course it’s a big place, but such a conglomeration of wiring, pipes, heating units, cooling units, switches, all of which is understood probably by only one man, Fielden Sharp. Lately, A. L. Miller is learning at first-hand the how and why and what makes it “tick.” With the labor shortage A. L. is working out many mechanical troubles. They try to tell me Bill Pracht does some of that, too, but I haven’t seen him. 25 Fears Ago... From the Files of The Journal Among the fifteen who were called Aug. 6 to go to Ft. Thomas Ky., were the following: Millan. Laughlin, Harold D. Couch, Wil Ham E. Rarig and Glen A.
