I am afraid to write this column
because a columnist must have
many talents.
1. He must be a humorist, whose
column wears a pun-striped suit.
As for example:
■_J Alimony is the high cost of leav-
\
Sex magazines are the filth col-
umn of America.
Today we have many sulfa-con-
scious young doctors.
True pals stick together ’til debt
do them part.
He adored her and the feeling was
nuptial.
Time wounds all heels.

Coffee, drinking in the United
States reached a record high last
year and may go even higher
this year, according 1 to U. S. De-
1 “ tt ci n Dripolators were scored the: erop. The vote at the county-
tliis jeai, aceoi mg To . . e ores^ performers of the makers j wic|e meeting which was conduct
partment ot Agriculture figures, Saturday. Angus
2. A columnist must be a movie
and theatrical critic who can create
atomic bomb devastation with, a
phrase. As for example: :
It took the Curies 30 years to find,
radium; it took Sir William Ramsay
16 years to discover helium; it took
this play only 2 hours to produce
tedium.
The annual consumption of
coffee in 1935-39 averaged 14
pounds per capita. In 1944 it was
up to 16 pounds, and so far this
year it appears to be rising still.
Along with the increase in cof-
fee drinking has gone an increas-
ed demand for better coffee. The
standard today is a good 8-ounce
cup—with short brewing. Such
coffee calls for precise methods
of making so many new kinds of
coffee makers have come on the
markets in recent years.
The Virginia Experiment Sta-
tion recently tested 15 of these
tested.

How women and girls
mat/get wanted relief
from functional periodic pain
j ed in Waco on Saturday, August
118th, was practically unanimous
in asking that wage ceilings be
established for this area. As a
matter of fact there was one dis-
bas brought re-
is wide variance in producer op-
inion as "to the prices which
should be placed on picking, on
pulling and on weighing and
hauling, also there was brought
out at the Waco meeting some
feeling that different wage scal-
es should be established for first
second and third picking. For
this reason a large number of
A FUTURE MYTH
“There is no definite proof
that Hitler is dead,” declares
Colonel-General Alexander Gor-
batov, Russian chairman of the
Allied Command for Berlin.
This will again cause comment
and speculation throughout the
world as to the fate of the for-
mer Fuhrer. The possibility
that Hitler is alive and in hid-
ing cannot be ignored.
Whether ITtilef died in Berlin
or fled to unknown areas will

matter ot tact tnere was one uia- ^

3. A columnist must he a lexi-
cographer who can invent new words
which tickle the brain and surprise
the eye. As for example:
Bilboorish, Rank-in-justice, Teu-
tonic Plague, guesstimate, sindicat-
ed column, kilocyclopedia, Emper-
or Fearohito, infantuation, Petaint-
ed.

4. He must be a philosopher who
disguises his wisdom in simplicity
so that he does not appear preten-
tious. As for example:
It’s better to give than to lend and
it costs about the same.
Suggested sign for a museum:
■“Touch as much as you like with
your eyes, but don’t see with your
fingers.”
I am afraid of Senators who have
a difficulty for every solution.
Love at first sight often ends with
divorce at first slight.
Funny thing about temper, you
can’t get rid of it by losing it.
Man argues that woman can’t be
trusted too far. Woman argues that
man can’t be trusted too near.
The President has the power to
appoint and disappoint the members
of his cabinet.
5. He must be a religionist who
realizes that religion is caught, not
taught. As for example:
An atheist is a man who has no (
invisible means of support.
The best reply to an atheist is to;
give him a good dinner and ask him j
if he believes there is a cook.
6. He must be an ironist who does
not hesitate to master the art of
Insult. As for example:
She dresses like a bad photograph
—underdeveloped and overexposed.
His mind is like his farm, natural-
ly barren and made worse by mis-
taken cultivation.
He is addressing his speech to pos-
terity, but his audience will be here
before he finishes.
A
7. He must be an economist who
knows that when a theory collides
with a fact, there is a tragedy. As
for example:
Those who complain about ration-
ing ought to remember that there
was no sugar until the 13th Century,
no coal until the 15th Century, no
coffee until the 17th Century, no
! matches until the 18th Century and
no gasoline until the 19th Century.
i
j
8. He must be an internationalist
who keeps the conscience of the peo-
ple boiling. As for example:
A good motto for the war crimin-
al trials is: “The prisoners, not the;
sentences, should be suspended.”
Don’t relax. Germany has more'
intelligence per square head than
any other nation.
International moral: President
Lincoln saw a small boy carrying
a child up a hill on his shoulders.'
He asked him whether the burden
was not too much for him. The boy
answered: “It’s not a burden, it’s
my brother!”
Under fascism, the only virtue is
strength. Under democracy, the
■only strength is virtue.
9. He must be a historian with a
human interest touch. As for ex-
ample :
The spelling backward craze goes
back a long way. In 1808 there was
a political fight over Jefferson’s em-
bargo. His political opponents ridi-
culed him in cartoons as “O Grab
Me.”
J
10. He must be a reporter who can
reveal information kept secret even
from any Government officials.
Our Army found in a German
•chemical laboratory a new secret
gas so powerful that a drop no larger
than a pinhead would kill a human
being. The Nazi laboratory chief re-
vealed that Hitler lost his nerve. He
was afraid to use this weapon be-
cause he had been informed that the
Chemical Warfare Division of the
United States Army had even more
fearful gases and in much larger
quantities!

The Gas Refrigerator
has no machinery
to wear and need
repairing or replacing.
This means exclusive
operating advantages:
LONG LIFE
Parts that do not move do not wear
CONSTANT COLD
No starting and stopping of cooling cycle
LOWEST OPERATING COST
Takes little Lone Star Gas to run
Basically different in operating principle,
the gas refrigerator has no machinery to
wear, to need replacing, to make noise.
A gas flame does all the work, making it
the refrigerator costing the least to own.
So it is little wonder that many are saying,
“My next refrigerator will be a gas refrig-
erator.” Save for one with war bonds.
Trouble-free gas refrigerators will be back
in the stores when the factory is released
from important war work.
