mately 9,800,000 acres and a flat

No matter how old you are. make
it your business to learn how to
play.
Extra work is much more at-
values than the corresponding re-
tail cuts on the consumer table to
allow for shrinkage, trim, and
waste.
Because meat and cheese cannot
always be cut to the exact pound,
the consumer chart contains a
simple table of point values tor
ounces.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
“I can’t think of anything else you’ll need
for your Victory garden, Judge... you’ve
got pretty nearly everything.”
"t think so, too, John, Ever get your
asparagus patch going?”
MI gave that up last year, Judge. Tried it
six years in a row with do hick. Just haven't
got the right soil, 1 guess?”
‘‘Well, I think you’re wise, John... no
use keeping on trying things you know won’t
wot. Just hire prohibition. State-wide pro-
hibition hss been tried in this country
seventy-two times in the last ninety years.
It has been adopted forty-seven times in
the past thirty-three years and discarded
everywhere except in three states. Same
thing was tried in eight provinces in
Canada and in Norway, Sweden, Finland
and Russia but it was an admitted Mure
and universally abandoned.
“The reason is prohibition dots not
prohibit. AO you get is bootleg liquor in-
stead of legal liquor, plus no end of crime
and corruption.”
