Barnhill Politics act funny these day s lake tli4s fellow Wilkie that tin Republicans dralted to Leal tin Dimocrats, looks like they art going to loose him, because he is getting some mighty good train ing out of the ones that beat him out. Whin you think it thru tho, it looks like two mighty big' men working together to do a real job. What a lime with the farmers and their troubles. Most every other time the farmer has been looked after. The way it has been lone, is to sit up a new plan to loan him some more mi ney, and make the mortgage a little longer. Looks line the show down is on, and from what we hear and read Congress is in no mood to even kiss a movie star. * ★ What tyou, Ray 'lUiik WAD BONDS * ★! The “Stovepipe,” as the 60-milli meter trench mortar is commonly known, is used by our infantry for close-in fighting. It fires a 2.4-pound shell at the rate of about 35 a minute. c A The mortar fires its projectile in a U-shaped arc and for this reason may be successfully camouflaged behind an obstruction. It costs about SSOO. You and your neighbors, join ing together, can buy many of these effective weapons for use of our Army. Investing at least ten per cent of your income in War Bonds every payday will do the job. Get on the firing line on the home front . . . join the “Ten Percent Club.” 17. S.

They are mere shells of efficiency until the “wir ing" or training Is acquired. * Today thousands of men are working In the New York Navy Yard, busily engaged in building this nation's two-ocean navy. These men are given opportunities to ad vance to better jobs. The task de mands skilled technicians and mechanics. Every department must have highly trained men to direct those who build and fit together the parts of gigantic battleships. The Navy is proud of the spirit of the men who build ships, but that is hot enough. Such workmen must be perfectionists. There is not much time to train men, but every effort is being made in that direction. * ‘The big jobs in the shipyard, like those in any other great American industry, are handled by those men who are properly “wired” to pro duce with speed and efficiency.
