Is required to produce more food
for those, who are so engaged In
war effort. In spite of the fact
that he can secure no machinery
with which to raise this food; but
while producing meat another a-
gency limits him to the amount
of cotton seed meal that he can
buy at one time, with the result
that he must make a long trip
to market every third day In order
buy a few sacks of feed, thereby
wasting time and wearing out his
tires as well as burning valuable
gasoline. That's a fine mess, but
a true picture of what our farmers

they patriotically try to do their

DRAFT EVADERS. EH?
The Quanah Chief says:
"Five youth, members of a relig-
ious sect, were tried In Federal
court for draft evasion in Wichita
Falls this week. Each appeared be
fore Federal Judge At well, armed
with a Bible, and attempted to Jus-
tify their violations with Biblical
quotations. They were well answer-
ed In kind by this learned and just
Jurist.'
And we might ask the BIG
SQUIRT, on the Quannh-Chief
Tribune, "Since when did quoting
the Holy Bible make anyone a
SLACKER?" Those boys quoted the
beet and most truthful authority in
the world. If the Judges and SOME
EDITORS, like the Quani.h Chief,
would follow the Holy Bible we
would have much better judges and
especially Editors. The Holy Bible
is RIGHT, while most editors are
LIARS, according to the good book
And quoting the Bible did not
make these boys VIOLATORS: the'
were Just giving the best authority
on earth, and exercising their Free
AMERICAN Privileges under tile
Constitution, which some say is a
thing of the past NOW. There sure-
ly are HONEST, conscientious ob
.lectors. This ealtor talked to some
before they entered the war and
believe they were honest men. Some
of ihese conscientious objectors are
NOW OVERSEAS. How is that you
ask? Well, there are almost a mil-
lion places they can serve in and
not violate their conscience: Work-
ing in the hospitals; taking care of
the wounded, cooking, driving de-
livery trucks, and etc.. where they
can serve the sick and starving
soldiers and NEVER FIRE A GUN.
TRYING TO KILL SOMEBODY.
And this work is just as essential
as any other part of the army.
Conscientious objectors ARE
HONEST, Just as those who call
them SLACKERS and many times
a dang sight MORE SO. Many are
not Conscientious Objectors, who
prefer to be on the battle front. Let
them go to the battle front, as that
Is their wish. There are hundreds
of thousands who are BEGGING
and CRYING to go overseas. Let
them go overseas, ar.d not take
those who want to remain in the
Rood old USA and do a work here
that is just as essential. We know i THE HOME FRONT SAYS
of some who have been rushed; The stark impact of the with-
The Italian campaign Is proving
slower and more costly than the
United Nations bargained for. It
is now revealed that the military
experts of the United Nations op-
posed this campaign. They figured
that Italy was too narrow to al-
low free military tactics, such as
generals like. But Churchill in-
sisted. and the campaign started.
The first bridgehead would have
been wiped out with terrific loss
!f the Germans had known of the
devastation of this first attacks.
We have ben of the opinion for a
long while that the war would
be better off if Churchill and Roo-
sevelt would leave the actual fight-
ing up to the military experts.
But since they are the heads of
.wo powerful nations, and both
have bulldog dispositions, it Is na-
tural to suppose that they will
continue to direct the military tac-
tics until the war is won. This
may be another case of trained
military men winning the war on
the battlefield in spite of bung-
lings from the top men.—Canyon

An opinion last week by the
Texas supreme court, If allowed to
stand, will be "The Funeral Dirge
of Texas Anti-Trust Laws," ' At-
torney General Gerald Mann as-
serted In a motion for rehearing.
The motion for rehearing was
filed in the Ford Motor case.
Charged In lower courts with viola-
ting the Anti-Trust Laws through
dealer agency contracts, Ford Motor
Company's violating asserted.
Ford Motor Company1 has a con-
tract with Its dealer which pro-
vides that whenever a dealer sella
a car outside his home city, he
must pay to the dealer In the city
or town where the car was sold
a "service charge" of $30
No Violation
Supreme court held that this
contract, on its face, does not con-
stitute a violation of the Anti-
Trust Laws.
The opinion, the state's motion
for rehearing asserts, seeks to es-
tablish in Texas a principle which
proponents of the so-called "Fair
trade act" sought and failed to
have established by the legislature.
By the opinion, Mann charged,
the court has "engrafted" on to
the Anti-Trust Laws an exception
"designed to foster the economic
Interests" of the Ford Motor Com-
pany. Basis principles of the state's
anti-monoply laws were "qnored"
by the court, He said.

EDITORAI. By Tom Llnder
On Tuesday evening. November
16, 1943. I had the pleasure of
addressing delegates from five
;tates to the Farmers Guild Con-
.'srence in Frankfort, Indiana.
Indiana. Ohio. Michigan, Illinios
nd Iowa are some of the best
arm states in the Union.
Most of the delegates to this
Convention were real dirt farmers
as you could easily tell by the
sign of years of sunshine and cold
wind on thier faces and by their
hard, rough hands.
There was absolute accord in the
meeting. Every one was of the
-,ame mind. Without exception, it
was the opinion of the meeting
that bureaucratic control of the
farmers must be eliminated.
Without exception, those dele-
gates believed that the only way
to protect and restore the liberties
of the people in this country is
to restore the rights of the in
dividual states.

American voter what it means to

in power in Washington. We are
all learning that when Washing-

During the first six days of No-
vember, 3,774 dairy farmers In 142
counties in Texas received $118.-
783 in connection with the Dairy
Feed Payment Program according
to a statement released today at
College Station, Texas by Fred
Rennels, Assistant State AAA Ad-
ministrator.
And talking about the kind ol
peace they want after this war.
They are not leaving it up to a
handful of politicians to handle
after the war, as wo did in 1918
If a peace parley should be called
soon, Roosevelt would expect to
dominate it. as he has dominated
everything in this country. He
might be sadly disappointed. He
is peeved at Hull for agreeing
that Roosevelt and Stalin should
go to London instead of Stalin
and Churchill come to Washington.
The News reached the conclusion
months ago that it would be wise
lo have a change in the White
House, but we wonder if such a
happy event will be possible on

A few years ago. somebody In-
vented a parking meter, a gadget
which is placed at Intervals a-
long the sidewalk in cities, with
a seventy-cent clock movement as
its Inards, which registers the time
by minutes and hours. Then, when
yon want to park your car on a
street which you helped to pay for
with your tax money, you kick
in a nickle for an hour, and in
many cases a nickle for only 20
minutes.
The city tax racketeers argue
that It is a "traffic regulation"
but no more Infamous lie was ever
uttered. It Is Just another tax
racket which is taking hundreds
of millions of dollars annually
from car owners, the most over-
taxed class of people in the land
This multiplied millions of dollars

money for the grafters and rac-
keteers running the city go^rn-
ments to squander

approximately S640 for each mem-

Your next door neighbor may
earn the same amount. If he is
single, he will have approximately
$2,785 for himself for the year.
If he is married, with no children,
will have about $1,500 each
for himself and wife.
In other words, the man with
a family is the man who is raelly
hit by New Deal taxation. And
yet New Dealers still talk about
taxing the rich. Now Secretary
of the Treasury' Morgenthau says
the New Deal needs more money
There are black days ahead for
the family man.
SHORTAGE OF PENNIES
Wall Street banks which count
their assets in billions and have
never before worried about short-
ages of denominations of currency
below twenty dollars, are now-
gripped by what is described as the
worst penny shortage within living
memory. A survey of some of the
biggest banks reveals that the
daily shortage of pennies is now
about 500.000. Seven-cent hot dogs,
eleven-cent cigars, six-cent soft
drinks and huge pay rolls subject
to withholding taxes and with
every pay envelope including at
least one pennie are reasons for the
shortage, so the bankers say. Some
hope of relief is held out, how-
ever, for the mint has been con-
centrating upon the penny shortage
and is now turning out a supply
described as stupendous.
Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis may develop if
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with any medi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beech wood
creosote by special process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per-
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)
