GROWING ENOUGH SUGAR
When 1 think of all this talk about lationing sugar and all
(his discussion about sugar shortage I began to think of. the ie-
stiiuions put on the faimcrs in this country.
A lesiiiction upon growing sugar cane and sugar beets was
placet! upon the f annul last year. The government even paid
some iaiiiicrs with paiity pa) incuts to plow up their sugar cane
and sugai beets they had planted. Of course the farmcis were not
hurt iinaucailly and ol couise the goernmcnt did not sec this
uisis coming on. But now there is no excuse for some little in-
experienced man fiom Washington to tell our farmers to plow
under sugai cauac and sugar beets in order to regulate farm prices.
All testiiciions upon fanners should be removed with as little red
tape as possible. We need all the sugar our farmers can giow.
I'll wager 10 say that the fanners would be more than happy to
put tlieii faims back into cultivation. The government should
tell the laimeis "Go lo ill" This country is rich and fertile and
will not take long to raise all the sugar we can eat.
Ah cs! It is easy to sit back and ciiticize the government
and say what ought to be done but this time the whole country
can see that we need to put all our natural resources into full
swing instead ol hanging on to the old system of telling the farm-
er just what to raise and how much to raise. One may say "Oh
I can uiidei stand your opinion but what is your solution?"
And I answer to say "I'icssurc should be brought to bear upon
the proper authoiities which includes Congress our law-making
body and the Sccrctai y of Agriculture the director of our agricul-
tural tactics. This as same as the strike situation in our vital de-
fense plants should be and can be remedied by the people at laige.
Both the sttikc pioblem and the sugar problem can be solved by
Congress if the people will only notify their Congressman what
they want done about the two most important problems in our war
effort. In jour clubs and societies make it a point to discuss this
situation and act quickly upon your decision. Only by organized
opinoiu and organized effort will we obtain the desired results."

SCIENCE MARCHES ON
When some seventy years ago an obscure man named
Lceuwcnhoek made a new instrument through which he could see
things that no one had ever seen before men thought that they
had seen ciy small things indeed. But:
So natinalists observe a flea
Has smaller fleas that on him prey
And these have smaller still to bite 'em
And so piocccd ad infinitum.
Now scientists pioduce a greater miracle than the microscope.
When you put a diop of blood on a slide and look at it through
your oulinaiy microscope you can actually sec the corpuscles; but
if you look at a single corpuscle through this new instrument it
will appeal lo be the .size of a two foot hatboxl A dime viewed
though it would appear to be more than a mile in diameter. Well
what is this marvel? It's the electron microscope. Our compound
microscopes use light days reflected through ground tenses; this
new microscope uses a stream of moving charges of electricity call-
ed elections. Henrc it is called the electron microscope.
That is. all veiy interesting but what earthly use is it? Well
for yeais now scientists have been at a standstill in the fight against
viruses. The trouble being that they were too small to be seen
it was like tring to catch minnows in a net for shad. It was im-
possible. Now man can see the virus and perhaps learn to destroy it
where it is harmful. A virus is believed to be the cause of Ameri-
ca's most expensive public cnemy-the common cold. It may be
at the bottom of influenza-flu to most of us; it is probably the
cause of infantile paralysis; it is the root .of the merciless killer
cancer.
That is not all virus damages to sugar cane tomatoes and
potatoes is almost beyond calculation. Damage to forests is also
great. And the virus which attack tobacco has already been found.
There is almost no limit to what may be done with this new
miracle. You look through your microscope and see bacteria your
children will be studying the virus when they get to college. Be
fore long ye will no longer be haunted by the fear of cancer and
infantile paralysis nor by the nuisance of the common cold.

SEVEN MORE duys gone peo-
ples and more of the most Inter-
esting things have been happening
to almost everyone except to tho
authors ot tills Infamous column.
And If they did they wouldn't
make the press for after all you
Rottu get mimcthltig besides ex-
perience for pounding out this
dribble. Inddently wo got a bit ot
fan mall for Inst week's article.
Seems that some laddie thinks that
paper should fumigate tho prem-
ises. Could be but we'll watt until
he Is loudy to do so personally.
Anyway; on with the drool of this
week's dirt.
This case of Pnt Akey and Lu-
cille Knciff Is one more thing for
the books. Iloen going on all year
and still strong as ever. And they
are seen In the duinest places. For
instance Tuesday night at oleven
o'clock they were observed walk-
ing TOWARD town couldn't be
that they are conserving tires
could It? Why did Thclnia Burn-
ham and "Dot" Ross spend the
night with Frankle Parson last
week? Couldn't be that they didn't
want the family to know what
time they got home tho next morn-
ing. The semi-official party ot the
A. O. F. which was to be held at
the lake never got any further
than Eaton's. Among those present
were Flip Fllppen and Mary Ann
Mclnnls Richard Vaughn and Jean
Hollo way Rusty Dooley and Lou
Wren and Ha bo Kninbo and Athene
Lewis. About twelve that night
everyone gets ready to go their
respective ways and Richard finds
a foi gotten two fingers of M & M;
inhales deeply and for some
strange reason Isn't able to open
his eyes. Must be one of those
RARE diseases.
Ann Ellis and John Ernser aren't
being patriotic in regard to the con-
servation of rubber. Ret the lad
has bin tied at least five pounds off
of the tires of his Ford in the past
couple of weeks courting Ann
around tho town in the crate.
And didn't we see Ann and a
SOLDIER dute running up and
down the Isles of a local theatre
looking for a scat? Clooch and Pate
hunting for a secretary to take
care of their office at the White
House. Nature of their business not
disclosed.
A certain ex-student (?) ot this
institution Douglas Chrane seems
to have it bnd. He was In town
three nights tho past weekond and
Miss Louise Koch didn't get a call.
Seems that the superintendent's
daughter Is Doug's one ambition.
Rut Louise didn't mind .at least
not on Sunday night when she
had trouble beeing tho show. Her
boy-friend of that night Just had to
lounge on her shoulder during the
entire performance. Eloulse Hob-
son's tlmo is being constantly
taken up by u certain Texas Tech.
laddie whose eyes just weren't
up to the strain placed on them
ho snys that ho studied too much
but this bootleg stuff found In
college towns Is fatal to 2020 vis-
ion. Four letters per week is the re-
sult of A. J. Adams homework.
Of course tho five-buck Valentine
he sent tho hometown sweetie
couldn't have anything to do with
It; nor could tho pair ot silver
spurs he sent her recently Influ-
ence (he flood of correspondance.
Don't let It kid you laddies; the
lassies can bo tolling you they
love you In the mall but if. you
uren't very very careful It will
be another kind ot a 'male' besides
your letters that tho lassie will be
most interested In and it won't
bo you.

""Quite from Mary Elizabeth Ev-
erett "I really didn't think that
I knew nil the courting spots un-
til you started naming them; but
I've been to all those and a few
more." Well well and we wouldn't
have thought It of you. But these

Jean Holloway Isn't mourning
no veil anyway over Percy

struction job. "Dopy" Pope one of
the mid-semester slimes takes off

next morning. And he claims to be

scope. Once more the shades of night
have fallen about to rise too for
at time ot typing It'a three thirty
A. M. and we must bid you the
fondest fairwell at least until next
week. Keep up the good work but
don't some of you make it so darn
conclusive. Several little items
didn't make even this column and
when they are too dusty to make
it; well they usually appear In
Public Records three-fours of a
year later. So hoping not to aee
our names either there or In the
obituary column we remain pray-
ing for crop failures less grass-
burs and more campusology.

HOW TO BE THE DEATH OF
THE PARTY
(Girls only)
Always wear what best suits
you regardless ot the occasion. If
you are particularly fond of your
white angora swoater by all means
wear it even though a little fusz
might stick to the gentleman's
tuv If it be a formal occasion.
If your handbag Is large people
will notice it more if you dangle
over his shoulder while dancing.
Don't bother those stupid Intro-
ductions they are such a waste
of time.
On the way home first tear your
stockings getting into the car
then complain the rest of the wuy
how much they cost. At the same
time you might tell the price ot
nil your clothes and where 'you
purchased them.
By all means leave the hair
curlers on your hair when you
start out on your date. Then when
you arrive home leave them In his
pocket. All these things will help
you to seem as glamorous as any
movie star Judy Canova for ex-
ample. UNITV COUWAOS-VICTOWV
