It stands to reason that Uncle

se expansion program. As the
ps get to work at it, their activi-
73 necessarily will concentrate
merican attention upon the Paci
unavoidably making us far less

1, in the Occidental sphere. Fur
I ermore. with the Japs imminent
threatening them, the Angacs
ust be forced to guard their own
tores, cutting them off from send
g help to their motherland.
This evidently is what the Ger
an-Italian Axis hopes to get out
the bargain with Tokio.
The Russian Threat
The story is that Herr Hitler not
i!y dwelt on the advantages
'- ; "h he pledged to the mikado.
it that he threatened the latter
ith grave consequences if he
irned down the pact.
- The Fuehrer is said to have re
liinded Tokio that Russia is a

I o it, considering that Moscow,
lerlin and Rome are more or less
! i cahoots in the pending World
I •ar.
Besides, inasmuch as Berlin and
tome today are bossing France’s
:overnment, they can stiffen up the
'Tench Indo-China administration
1 n resistance of a grab of that col
my’s territory.
Doubtless they're right in as
aiming that they can dictate Indo
chinese policy.
And doubtless they’re right in
.heir belief that they can sic Rus
sia onto the Japs The Russians
lon’t need much sic-ing in that di
rection. They're almost at war with
.he mikado all the time. Right now
little better than a truce prevails
between the two countries.
Russo-Jap Issue
The question is:
^x T ot, can the Russians be sic-ed
onto the Japs ? Sure they can be so
sic-ed. They everlastingly are
bursting for a chance to hop on the
Japanese.
The real question is:
Can Berlin and Rome, by merely
promising the Japs that Russia
won’t jump on them, guarantee
that the Russians won’t jump on
them anyway?
Everybody knows that Stalin
wants to do it. If the Japs become
Involved with the United States—
that will be his glorious oppor
tunity. China will be with him.
With the Russo-Chinese engaging
him to the westward, on the Asi
atic mainland, and with the United
States attending to him from his
Pacific side, the mikado will have
- his trouble?.
As for Moscow’s pact with Ber
lin and Rome, everybody's aware
that neither side cares a hoot for it, i
„ except as a matter of momentary
expediency.
The situation doesn’t hint at any
thing pacifistic, but it’s an inter
£ esting complication.

A good mattress, properly cared
for in the farm home, will last at
least 15 to 20 years, Extension
economists point out.
The fall time of the year, when
most all crops have been harvest

to do terrace maintenance.

Beauty is permeating the at
mosphere at this time of the year.
The trees are gowned in brilliantly
hued leaves. The flowers are
bursting forth with a vivid array
of colors. Autumn in all its splen
dor reigns. Old and young alike
take to the highways and jaunt
to the mountains to catch glimpses
of nature casting its vari-colored
mantle upon the old earth. The
shadows of Autumn tide king
harmony to this profusion of color
and seem to bring to our mind the
proximity of life to nature.
Soon winter with its chilling
winds, frost and snow will sweep
away this panaroma of color. Na
ture is ever changing, giving away
to the march of time. The eve
ning sun as it cast its last beam
on earths fading corsage, brings
to light the silver lining of some
well spent life. It may be the sil
ver haired father, or the gold star
mother who has become enshrined
in the hearts of those who knew
them.
Time has wrought many chang
