Thanksgiving Week
Kick Off Date For
Sixth War Loan
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
treasury department has set the
beginning of Thanksgiving week
.ae tfie kick-off date for the 6th
war loan drive. This date —
which comes on'November 20th
—still is tentative. However, of-
ficials have definitely decided on
their goal—it's 14-billion dollars.
The quota is two-billion dol-
lars less than that of the Fifth
war loan drive which was the
highest of all and still was ov-
ersubscribed. Reasons for the
cut are that the treasury depart-
ment is in an unusually good
cash condition and that bond
redemptions are expected to be
lighter. In addition, treasury
experts say they expect a drop
in public bond purchases as the
end of the European war ap-
proaches.
From Ranch To Qrid

home, and cowboy songs and
poems were featured on the pro-
gram.
Mrs. W. F. Gaede reviewed
"Tall Tales of A Cowboy" and a
poem "Cattle" was read by Mrs.
F. S. Youree. Closing the pro-
gram the group sang a medely
of cow boy songs.
A refreshment plate of apple
pie topped with whipped cream,
and coffee was served to tho
members and guests.

CHICAGO —(UP),— Football
commuters are the latest Inno-
vation in the national football
league.
The renewal this season of thoi
great passing duels of Sid Luck-
man and Sammy Baugh appar-
ently hinges upon time tables.
The two famous aerial artists
are expected to commute to their
teams each Sunday — Baugh to
the Washington Redskins, Luck-
man to the Chicago Bears.
Ensign Luckman is stationed
at the Sheepshead, New York,
maritime base. He has been trav-
eling from Sheepshead to bolster
the Bears for their weekend
games.
Baugh —who must run his
ranch at Sweetwater, Texas, or
face reclassification as 1-A ap-
parently has decided to pick up
the commuter's technique from
his old rival. The latest reports
from Texas and Washington a.e
that he will work his ranch dur-
ing the week and catch up with
the Redskins for important Sun-
day games.
The Redskins have not per-
formed without Baugh, so what
result his absence might have
on the team is not known.
Without Luckman, however,
the Chicago Bears' T-formation
sputters. With him the Bears
move overhead and on the
ground and the sputters quit.
The Bears are counting heav-
ily upon Lpckman's weekly
transportation, in spite of reports
that he is headed for sea duty.
Acting President Ralph Drizzoi-
ara of the Chicago club says:
"Luckman has signed a year's
contract and we expect him to
play with us whenever he is
available."
So it seems that the country's
two top passers will have an-

deteriorating weather and tough-

enormous factors in their favor.

American heavy bombers
today attacked German war
industries at Magdeburg,
Kassel and Mersebnrg, south-
west of Berlin. The Germans

did yesterday by throwing

(he small formations.
However, as the enemy inter-
ceptors rose to meet the bomb-
ers over the Magdeburg area, es-
corting fighters beat them off—
shooting down 13 German planes
without the loss of a single fight-
er.
No new raids have been car-
ried out by our planes from Italy
But on the ground in Italy, the
British Eighth army has extend-
ed its bridgehead across the Ru-
bicon river to a width of ten
miles and a depth of two. The
Tommies also have captured the
Adriatic coastal town of Bellaria.
The Allies still are silent 01
the progress of their thrust from
Italy into Albania. But there is
other big news from the Baikal

Under this system, champion-
ships possibly could be decided
by misplaced tickets or misread
time tables — instead of by un-
completed passes.

Kerr Says Dewey
Opposed Freight
Rate Fquality
OKLAHOMA CITY —(UP) —
A charge by the "Democrats For
Dewey'" organization that the
new deal had done nothing to
eleminate discriminatory freight
J rates has brought a stiff rebuttal
from Governor Robert S. Kerr
of Oklahoma.
The Sooner Governor charges
that Governor Thomas E. Dewey
in on record as "the most vigot
ous opponent ofequalization of
freight rates between the east
and southwest."
Kerr's statement follows one
released by Frank Buttram, Ok-
lahoma city oil man and chair-
man of the newly organized pro-
Dewey democrats, accusing "the
deal party" of a comlpete failure
to end freight rate discrimina-
tion.
liuttram added lie was
"a in a/.id (o find" l\crr plac-
ing ilie Name on Governor
Dewey.
Governor Kerr produced -i
transcript of proceedings at an
interstate commerce commission
hearing in which the republican
presidential nomniee was quot-
ed as defending the preseni
present freight rate structure.
The Oklahoma chief executive
says that at the present time
Oklahoma and Texas freight
rates arc 165 per cent of New
York rates.
The Dewcv statement before
the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission cited the shift of indus-
tries from New York to southern
states in recent years and said
that "as governor of the state of
New York. I insist that the rate
structure should not be chang-
ed."
Kerr said Dewey's statement
was a part of the record of one
of the ICC's cases and that Okla-
homa was an intervenor oppos-
ed to Dewey's views and those of
the eastern states.
A plausible sounding assertion
heard on every hand when men
talk about religion is: "I be-
lieve that if I do the best I can
and live up to that which I think
is right 1 will be all right in the
end". This is popular as well as
plausible sounding to those who
do not read the Bible. The fault
with it is that it is not so. It is
not what the Bible teaches. The
Bible teaches and men's exper-
ience teaches that, "It is not in
man that walketh to direct his
steps" Jeremiah 10:24. In Pro-
verbs 14:13 the Holy Spirit writes
"There is a way which seemeth
right unto a man; but the ends
thereof are the ways of death."
After all friend, "Who has the
right, the power, the knowledge,
to say what you or I should do
in order to go to heaven at
last?"' Who is possessed of the
knowledge to qualify him to say
what the standard shall be? Who
but our Lord and our God. Our
Creator and our King? Is it pos-
sibl ethat God has allowed every
man to set his own standard'
Am 1 to be saved according to
my standard and you according
to yours? But they are not alike.
Reason and judgment teaches
differently. There can be but
one person in the universe who
has the knowledge, the power,
the right, the authority to say
what shall be the conditions up-
on which he will take us at last
to dwell with him eternally.
That one is God. And he has stat-
ed the conditions. These condi-
tions are clearly set forth and
illustrated in the New Testa-
ment. All will do well it seek to
know them and strive to obey
them. If you can find the condi-
tions upon which God forgave
the sins of one person in New
Testament time you will know
what he requires of you today.
There are Ten examples set
forth in the Book of Acts that
describe the conditions God has
•set forth. Can you plumb your
obedience with theirs?

If backache and leg pains are making you

The kidneys are Nature's chief way of taking

If the 15 miles of kidney tubes and filters
don't work well, poisonous waste matter sU0*
