GATHERED IN
One of our faithful correspond-
ents writes inber column this week >
that farmers in that section were
nearly through gathering their
crops. The cotton is ginned, the
corn is safely in the cribs, the loft
is full of hay. Sweet potatoes are
dug— read Y hilling—pumpkins
are in from the fields. Peanuts,
peas and beans are gathered. Now
the farmer can be satisfied and at
ease. What he has raised is safe
from the snatching hands of the
weather and outside enemies. It
is in his keeping. Now he must
guard his corn from rats and
thieves, his hay from fire, his
peas and beans from weevils that
creep in during the cold months.
Though the farmer's crop is “in”
he cannot be relaxed yet. Ho must
still guard it safely in order that
it can keep his family and farm
animals free from hunger during
the long, dreary winter.
It is good to know that the
crops arc in. Let us hope that
they can be kept safely and well..

Only a miracle can bring victory
over Germany sooner than the Fall
of 1944 says Capt. Eddie Ricken-
backer, and to which he adds: “I
have confidence in the possibility
of that miracle, and the accom
plishment of that miracle lies in
the hearts, heads and hands of
every American man, woman and
child, and your faith in God."
What Capt. Rickenbacker obvious
ly means is that if every man.
woman, and child in the United
States will pray—in the best way
he knows how—for a swift righte
ous outcome of the war, and will
back up his prayers with practical
devotion to the task on the home
front, the “miracle” can be
brought.

it will make you uniformly con

What is the matter with our

enterprise has one more chance

There is no soap shortage, actual
