Hello folks. Merry Christmas to
you all! . . • We re going to prove
the fact that we wish you a merry
Christinas by turning out the
shortest column possible and
thereby saving you frortj have (?)
to read so much incessant prattle
on this eventful day! . . . We’re
glad to see all of the college set
home for the holidays. That Don
nie Brumbaugh has shown up
with a haircut that looks like little
Orphan Annie's does when she’s
scared to death. It stands straight
up on end though he vows it’s
been growing for four months!
Kentucky has done wonders for
Don's Yankee brogue, even better
than “Georgy” did, and now he
talks like a sho’ nough Suth’ner!
It's swell to see Izzie Bashin
. . .
ski back too. He's still wearing
those customary good-looking
sport togs with a daisy yellow
hankie peeping out of the coat
pocket. Welcome home, kids! . . .
D. G. (Ernest) Adams is up from
Middle Georgia and is jerking
sodas in the drugstore during the
holidays. Gee, it’s like old times 1
seeing the Drugstore Gigolo be
hind that counter again! . . . Did
/you see Luther Sprayberry sweep
ing the floor in the drugstore
t’other day? Well, heres the an
swe-. He was sweeping it for a
stamp to put on a card to mail to
a certain person . . . Merry Christ
mas to soldiers J. W. Rye, T. C.
Allen, Ray Morrow, Raymond
Moody and R. L. Betts who are
home for the holidays . . . Word
from our cousin in the Marines
and he says he hopes he can get a
few shots at those Japs before this
war is over. Well, more power- to
you Cuz! . . . Blaekie J. says
Grover Tarpley has a girl at Mon
roe, but Blaekie seems to know
more about it than Tarp! . . . Scoop
Statham is celebrating the season
in proper style. He has his finger
nails polished a pretty “Christmas’'
red! . , Dud Childers insists that
.
the “News” is a good paper But
of course, Mr. Childers! . . . This
will probably land us in the “Jug”,
but who wants to know who the
“WIDOW" is? . . • And we’d like
to know this—Where in the world
was that crowd, escorted by Dor
sey Reagan, headed for via Pop
lar Street Back Alley Sunday aft
ernoon (of all thing?) . . Why does
Donnie B. have his right hand all
bandaged up? Could it be cause
he's shaking hands with so many
folks since his arrival? . . . We’d
like to thank all our friends for
the many nice Christmas greet
ing*. We appreciate each one from
the bottom of our heart and we
have a little Christmas message
here for all of you. We're copy
ing it from a little book of Brace
Lb Thoughts presented to us by
Mary Wilson. It was written by
Emily Hammond, to her friends
in 1924 and we would like to pass
it on to our friends in 1941.
"Each Christmas brings with it
a message of peace, good-will to
ward men. Are we adding to this
peace by cultivating it in our own
hearts and homes? As we over
come our limitations we are mak
ing it easier for others to over
come theirs. The world can only
be saved as the individual man
and woman is saved. And what
we need most to be saved from is
our selfishness. By cultivating a
spirit of good-will toward men we
break down the banners which
separate us from our neighbors.
Let us go forth with courage to
do and to dare, knowing that with
God all things are possible. In
this way we shall experience a
conquering New Year.”
So long folks. Se– you\next
Week.
Merry Christinas,
FLASH LANE.

1917, he penned a poem, ‘“The
Little Tin Horn.”
“Half asleep in the shadows,
Just out from the firelight’s
glow,
Drifting in drowsy dreaming
To the Land of Long Ago,
“1 heard, as the ghost of an echo—
As soft as a song unborn,
From the heart of a long lost
Christmas,
The call of a Little Tin Horn.
“As sweet as the wind harp's mu
sic—
As low as a mother's prayer,
From ages gray with a thousand
snows.
It swept through the twilight
air,
And I saw the dark fade from me—
The gray gave way to gleam
And the Man went back to the
Boy again
On the tide of a silver dream.
“I closed my eyes in the shadows,
As I heard the Tin Horn blow
call to the vanquished co
horts—
The Troop of the Long Ago;
out from the winter twilight.
By the path of an old, old beat,
heard the echo that answered
In the patter of little feet.
Little Boy Blue to lead
them,
1 saw his troopers come—
little tin soldiers keeping step
To the roll of a martial drum,
their muskets were gleaming
in silver
And their jackets, of red and
gold
trappings of blue were as
bright and new
As those in the days of old.
“Blow, Little Tin Horn of Christ
mas—
Blow where the weary droop.
And call to the light from the
lonesome night
The clan of the vanished Troop;
“Summon the Boyland Army.
And give us again to know
The roll of the drum that calls to
arms
The Legion of Long Ago.”
Turning through the pages of
a striking similarity is
between the Christmas of
1917 and the one planned for 1941.

It is the same story today.

A new party has been added

of 1917 who must spend this

On the more serious side, there
be many special church serv

and at sunrise Christmas Day.
A prayer printed in a 1917
newspaper is even more appro

ton, wheat and tobacco, and pro
duee more milk for cheese, evap
orated and dried milk; more hogs
for meat and lard; more chickens
for meat and eggs, more vege
tables for canning. We expected
that our imports of vegetable oils
would be greatly reduced by
war, and so we planned for big
increases in the acreage of soy
beans and peanuts for oil.
The total production then
planned for 1942 represented a
net increase of about 2 per cent
over the record high production
of 1941, but the job could be done
without plowing up any more
land. In general, the 1942 pro
duction goals as planned still hold
good. We may have to revise
them upward in some lines, and
as this is written, we are going
over them. We shall notify farm
ers of the revisions well in ad
vance of planting time.
You farmers were asked to plan
your individual production to have
a proportionate part in the ad
justed production of 1942. The
reports submitted by your neigh
bors who did the farm-to-farm
canvass show that your total pro
duction plans meet the 1942 goals
with margins to spare.
You know there are difficulties
ahead before the plans on paper
become food on the table. We’re
not going to be able to hire as
much skilled farm labor next year
as we'd like. It may that we
can train ’teen-age boys, and
young women from the cities to
help in farm work. But regard
less of the kind of help we get, I
can’t see any sure substitute for
longer hours and harder work on
the part of every member of the
farm family.
You’re not going to be able to
buy much new farm machinery as
you'd like, because the metals
have to go into war production.
We hope there will be plenty for
repair parts, but you should cer
tainly get as many spare parts as
possible ordered early in the year.
You're not being asked to step
up production of the vital farm
products and take a risk on the
price. The basic crops, cotton,
wheat, corn, rice and tobacco have
a floor under them at 85 per cent
of parity, established by the loan
rate. Cheese, dried skim milk,
evaporated milk, hogs, eggs and
chickens, are supported at 85 per
cent of painty by purchases.
There is reason to believe that
the demand for most farm com
modities will hold prices well
above the supporting level. Sup
plies of feed are adequate and the
ratio of feed cost to the price of
livestock products is favorable to
increased production.
1 don't think farmers want to
see farm prices skyrocket, as they
did in World War I. Too many of
us lost our shirts and our farms in
the crash that followed the last
war. We are anxious to avoid it
again. We want parity prices, but
we'll not push for more than par
ity. That is my interpretation of
the sentiment of most farmers,
and it is the basis on which the
policies of the Department of Ag
riculture are founded.
Abundant poduction to meet
urgent needs is the request the
nation makes of you: the reward,
parity prices for farm products.
