Merchants are unable to purchase
many of the items they would stock.
From now on until the Germans and
the Japs are licked we are going to
learn to get along with less and less
of the things we have been used to—
things we thought we could not do
without—and fussing and fuming
about it will not remedy conditions.
The remedy will come when enough
of those fighting with the Axis
forces are under the sod.

Some of the gardening lore one
sees in the newspapers and maga-
zines misses fire occasionally. For in-
stance. wc were being told that a
fall garden can be planted as late as
Sept. 15. That's true—it can be plant-
ed—but with a frost coming • Sept.
27, indications are that those of us
depending on our fall gardens are
going to come through the winter in
bad condition.

No Time to Permit Waste
Of Food and Feed By Rats
Many people are coming to the
county agent’s office for a rat pois-
on formula, says Agent Jack McCul-
lough. By this he takes it. that the
rats are getting numerous and are
no doubt doing considerable damage.
“A simple formula is to mix with
a spoon (not hands) one pound of
Barium carbonate poison with five
pounds of hamburger meat, or a pro-
portion of 5 to 1.
"To get the best results small bits
of hamburger meat should be put out
two nights without poison, and on the
third night put out the mixed poison
bait. Place the poison where the
rats eat and not where they stay.”

YOU TAKE
“JUST ANYTHING”

just as much as though
you consistently drank
poisoned water or ate stale >
food. Comfort today may 1
mean untold suffering to-
morrow.
There is a cause for ev-

THE TIDWELL GIN
CROWDED
WITH THE CALLS
OF WAR
It’s true we usually can put through
quickly your long distance telephone
calls to towns near-by. But when you
send your voice to far cities, it may
travel on lines jammed to the limit
with calls that help move troops,
make planes, build tanks.
We can’t put up more lines, because
most of the metal has gone to war.
So please help us in a vital job. Make
as few calls as possible to war centers
or cities far away, and please plan to
keep such calls short. It will help
clear the way for the calls of war.

American fighting men may soon
have to die for want of scrap!
«7TE*RE talking facts,
W remember! Such
as the fact that steel for
every tank, ship, and
gun must be made of
50% scrap. And the
terrible fact that Amer-
ica's mills are starving
for this scrap—without
enough on hand for even 30 days
more production!
Which puts it up to you!
Monday starts the big scrap metal
drive. And you, as a businessman,
have a double job to do. Clean out
your home—and scour your place

IF YOU FAIL
SOME BOY
WILL DIE!

And when you see the stockpile

it’s needed — be glad that you’ve
done your part...that your work
may have saved some boy from a
needless death!
