“I will extol thee, O Lord; for
thou hast filled me up, and hast
not made my foes to rejoice ov¬
er me.”—Psalm 30:1.
The winter is half over, but it’s
always the last half that is the
longest.

County officials should not of¬
fer much attraction this year.
Most any man can make more
shucking corn for two months
than he can make out of a coun¬
ty office in twelve months.
We note’ that the editor of one
of our exchanges has discovered
a man who has simplified the
income tax form until it is as
simple as extracting the cube
root of a complex fraction.
The editor of one of our ex¬
changes who keeps track of ail
the important anniversaries sug¬
gests that some one should let
the folk in the White House
know this is National Thrift
Week.
A local man, with an irritat¬
ing smugness, says that he does
not understand why his wife
who showed such- good judge¬
ment in the selection of a hus¬
band could have such poor judge
ment in the selection of a
Christmas necktie.
No strikes, no lockouts, no va¬
cation, no time and a half for
overtime is the rule among news¬
paper editors, who, because of
the scarcity of help, have taken
over the mechanical duties of
the back end of the shop in ad¬
dition to the editorial and of¬
fice duties.
Already some war plants have
closed and dismissed their work¬
ers. This does not mean that the
war is over or anything like it.
It simply means that what is
considered an ample supply of
the particular item made by
these plants has been produced
and production is called off un¬
til more is needed.
It appears sometimes, when
rocket planes and other strange
and new gadgets are discussed
as post-war possibilities, that
planners of the future are tak¬
ing their cues from the fantas¬
tic movie serials in which Flash
Gordon and others like him were
so thrillingly featured.
If the statement is true that
no man can afford to have one
more enemy or one less friend
then no man can afford to serve
on a ration board. It is the last
place to make friends, if one
follows the rules, according to
a member of the local rationing
board.
It has been a along time since
we heard of a cow r being tossed
off the railroad track by the
cow' catcher on the engine, but
every few days a motor car is
tossed off the right of way by
one of them. The cow's seemed
to have learned to stay off the
tracks when a train is approach¬
ing—a thing car drivers appear
not to have learned.
It is the smartest kind of
business to buy all the War
Bonds one can possibly afford—
even to the point of making a
sacrifice to do so. Its smart
business at the present time to
do without the things you want
but can get along without to buy
bonds. One group of our men in
the service is making a drive in
the South Pacific, one group is
making a drive in Italy and one
group will soon be making a
drive onto the continent but
the war bond dirve is the drive
by us at home. This drive must
succeed the same as the drive
by our boys must succeed. It is
up to us at home to make it

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was
51 years old when he became
President. He is 62 years old
now. The eleven years in between
have done with him w'hat they
did with other men of his
and the burden of the Presiden-
cy has done a little more. The
burden has included our great¬
est depression and, not yet com¬
pleted, our greatest war. Some
of us have disagreed with Mr.
Roosevelt's politics in a few
things, some of us have disa¬
greed in many things. Feeling
has run high among his oppo¬
nents on Capitol Hill and in the
nation at large. Today even these
opponents might call a brief
truce and concede that he has
borne his burden with cheerful¬
ness, with courage and with evi-

dent determination to do his
best, according to the light that
was given him, for his country
and for mankind. Whatever his
future may be, he will have a
long and notable chapter in our
history.
We have had one or two Presi¬
dents born in log cabins or
shacks. Mr. Roosevelt was born,
if not in a palace, at least on a
comfortable country estate. His
struggle against fate came in the
form of an almost disabling ill¬
ness in middle life. Perhaps this
illness strengthened his will to
