day. For a man his size, riding a
bicycle is not the easiest job in the
world.
Mr. McPhaul has been postmas
ter for nine years. He has always
taken an active part in the church
and community activities. During
therecent Red Cross drives he took
an active part in seeing that the
drives went over. Selling govern

also.
Besides his work and activities in
Doerun, Mr. McPhaul is serving his
second term as president of the

Now that the War Production
Board has halted the making of
lawn mowers after June 30th, we
remember ruefully all that hap
pened last year. When we cut the
grass for. the last time and stored
the mower in the tool house we
said: “Well that finishes it. Next
year \Ve get a new lawn mower."
And maybe that counts for this
year too and thus escape the man

Ben E. Adams writes an inter
esting double-gage column in the
Tri-County News under the head
line, “That's the Way It Is,” in
which he records this undeniable
fact: “You can't kill the spirit of
freedom by edict. Hitler's gang is
trying it in France and making a
failure. Newspapers calling for op
position to German rule continue
to appear on the streets in spite of
the death penalty being imposed
upon editors and printers when
caught.”
If there's anybody who deserves
generosity in these times, its the
man in the uniform. The United
States Senate has passed a bill
prepared by its Military Affairs
Committee to raise the base pay of
privates in the Army and appren
tice seamen in the Navy to $42 a
month and to increase the pay or
allowances of non-commissioned
and commissioned officers in both
services. Those in civilian life re
gard this increase as one of the
wisest acts of the year.

the past quarter century, while the
mule decrease for the same period
was only one-fifth—approximately.
Looks like the federal agricul
tural leaders are up against a new
problem. A planting of 5,500,000
acres of peanuts has been sought
this year, especially for oil which
is valuable for cooking, shortening,
and margarine. But so far the
farmers have indicated their in
tention to plant only about 4,150,-
000 acres, which is far from the
goal. Some agricultural leaders
want Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard to make a direct plea to
farmers to plant more peanuts.
Still others suggest the more prac
tical method of a higher guaran
teed price for peanuts as an induce
nient to farmers, just as labor and
Industry are offered higher prices
to get them working on war needs.
There also is a plan to enlarge the
cotton acreage, now limited to ap
proximately 27,500,000 acres. Cot
ton seed oil and peanut oil have
about the same properties and
there is the additional fact that
more cotton seed pressed for oil
means more cotton linters for use
In the manufacture of gunpowder.
We imagine one of the stumbling
blocks is that farmers have to
have a certain percentage of their
farms in soil-conserving and en
riching crops in order to get bene
fit payments and, not being will
ing to sacrifice too much corn, cot
ton and tobacco lands for the pea
nuts, the growers just haven't got
enough room for the peanuts need
