“We can't expect -a repetition of
the exceptionally favorable weather
of 1942, which was a major factor in
the record production this year." said
O'Neal. •‘Furthermore, farmers will
start next seakon with at least 2,000,-
000 fewer workers than what they
consider the normal working force.
In addition, farm machinery is ra-
tioned, and fertilisers and other sup-

Business Houses to
Observe Armistice
Holiday
I Several years ago, the Retail Mer-
chant’s Association of Navasota se-
lected six holidays of the year which
would be celebrated iby business
houses and Offices of the town. Ar-
mistice Day. November fl, was one
of thesb days and all stores will
serve Wednesday, November 11, as
holiday, closing for the entire day.
The White Schools wl|l be closed
-but the colored school, will remain
in session..
Although there is no particular
celebration to be in Navasota, Hous-
ton expect* to have'one of the big-
gest parade* that ha* ever been
staged op this day. There wiy also
be celebrations nt other points near
Navasota and probably qiany from
here will attend.

Deadliest Military Outfit In World
atlons were made to Den A- Lindley,
- - ' IQn Novembeer M Will be celebrat-. places for the United States,
ed the 167th anniversary of the
toughest deadliest military outfit in
the world, the U. S Marines. A grate-
ful nation will pay tribute.
The following day, November 11, a
grateful nation will pay tribute to
the gallant American* who died for
their country in th* first World
War.
i But, there’s a. big difference in the
two anniversaries, for on November
10 tribute is to be paid to men who
'don’t intend to die for their coun-
try. In this connection, there’s a
Latin inscription on Memorial Hall
at Harvard University. The trans-
lation is: "It is sweet and fitting to
die for one’s country.’
The Marine* Corps' answer to that
is ’’NUTS".
Marines don’t want to die for their
country. Marines want to make a
Jap or a Naal die for his country.
Marines want to return home and
marry a girl.
Even before th* United States was
officially born there war* Marine*
who didn’t Intend to die. Bsok in

been described as sheer brains and
ability. Less than a year agp he was
a colonel and h|s regular Army' rank
is still that of a lieutenant colonel.
General Eisenhower was born at
Denison, Texas, ‘ a member of a fam -
ily of six brothers. He was rpared at-
Abilene, Kansas where he did hi*
share*" of family chores played high
school football worked summers in an
ice plant, on farms pnd at tending
cattle
Reports have it that his decision to
go to West Point to begin his mili-
tary career resulted from a close
friend winning an appointment to
Annapolis. Ike a* he is known to bis
many intimates, wanted to go with
him was barred because he was too
old at 21. So he took the Wtest Point
examnatons and was admitted. He
graduated in the top third of his
class, later led his class at the Fort
Leavenworth General Staff school,
He also is a graduate of ‘.he Infantry
school and Command Scboo’ ■ of the
Army.

strumental in developing the military

Generaa Eisenhower was one of the
first American Army officers to en-
vision tanks as a major factor in land
fighting. He organized a tank battal-
ion at the beginning of World War
1 and later commanded the Tank
Corp* training center at Gettysburg,
Pa., winning recognition ’as an ex-
pert on armored warfare.
In London he ’ has established a
reputation a* a command’er who

mal, ana the same time u strict
military man who known that it
takes toughness to win a war arid is
seeing to, it that hl* troop* ar* pro-

ness to carry them through
Though much pt hi* csreer

that he 1* equally capable in a po-
sition of cammand. Londoner* and
high British Army and civil official*
. admire him both for the air of abil-
ity and know-how that are hl* and
for hls typical and unshakable Am-

ed admiration for th* British and
their fighting prowess, isarhs all he
