XTOW THAT the lease-lend bill ^ has become the law of the land

with the backing of the President, the Congress and 90 per cent of the citizens of the country, It well behooves our government to see to It that Great Britain, Greece, the munitions of war and food-atuffe they need to have for the successful prosecution of the war against dictatorship. If Hitler wins It will mean a condition of near slavery for all the civilized world.

Let us use all the warcraft necessary for maintaining continu-ous patrolling of the shipping line f rom this shore to Britain. The sacrifice we are making will amount to naught unless that aid reaches the destination In-tended and that will be ono eure way of making It unneceHsary to send our armed forces abroad.

NATIONAL DAYLIGHT SAVING

that congress should enact a na-tional daylight saving law. It Is pointed out that Great Britain, Canada. Germany, France, and Italy all have adopted thle time system. I

While some states and many cit-ies In this country have daylight saving lu summer and seem to like It, It Is still an unpopular Idea In the majority of states. The farming interests are generally opposed, and they eay the cows do not pay any attention to the advanced clocks, and tha t the people should get up earlier In the morning If they want to, without making monkeys out of the clocks.

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

Satan's objective In all his temp-tations, was, to bring Jesus to sin against God, and so to render him forever Incapable of being a sacri-f ice for the sin of others. For the sacrificial lamb must be without spot or blemish. John the Baptist had declared him to be, "The Lamb of God. which taketh away the sin of the world."—John 1:29.

Jesus met the devil, stood the test and came off a conqueror. Heb. 4:14, 16 "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that Is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fas t our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our Infirmities; but was in alt points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let u s therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may ob-tain mercy, and find grace to help In time of need."

And Heb. 7:25, "Wherefore He is able to save them to the utter-most that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make in-tercession for them. But t hanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Chr is t" He's The Lamb of God, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah, The Con-queror from Edom, He's the Rose of Sharon, The Lily of the Valley, The Bright and Morning Star, The Holy One of Israel.

Crop Inuuranco, as provided for by the present national farm pro-gram, does assure buying power, according to John McCabe, chair-man of Kent County Triple A, I t guarantees the Michigan wheat grower that he'll get a normal re-turn from bis seed despite the on slaughts of hail, wind, rain, dis-ease, Insects or winter killing. When harvest time rolls around, he'll have money In his pocket tor his crop—money to buy a dress for his wife, shoes for his children, new farm equipment for himself—even though hla crop may have been leveled flat by hall. Crop insurance takes aome of the doubt and dread out of farming because the farmer who Insures his crop knows hel l get a fair return for his labor and Investment. Crop Insurance beae-fl ts the merchant, the doctor, and the mechanic because crop insur-ance means the farmer will have money to buy goods and aervices with—things he needa and w a n t s -things the merchant and doctor and mechanic must sell to make a livelihood.

Mr. McCabe reports tha t 485 ap-plications for crop inaurance have been received from Kent County farmers to cover a total of 4,679 acres of the 1941 wheat crop In this county. The estimated inaured pro-duction in this county la 66,910 bushela for which a total of 3,510 buahela of wheat were paid as premiums.

We are in the red, including appropriations that have boon made but not yet spent and including the obligations of the several government corpora-tions for which the government is responsible, something over S70.000,-000,000. To pay what wc owe would take all the income of all the Ameri-can people for the entire year of 1940. the highest income year since 1929.

Former President Herbert Hoover told me some three years ago that he believed the nation could carry an indebtedness of close to 70 bil-lions before soing broke and becom ing the victim of extreme inflation. If that is correct—and I believe Herbert Hoover comes nearer know-ing than most men—we are on the verge of bankruptcy and inflation.

Who is responsible?

The congress of the United States, the men we elected as senators and representatives.

No dollar can be taken out of the national treasury until congress has approved the expenditure The Pres-ident cannot spend our money un-less congress has authorized the ex-penditure. The billions that have been spent on foolish boondoggling projects and for other things had to have the consent of the men we sent to Washington to represent us in the senate and house of repre-sentatives.

That mortgage of more than $70.-000,000.000 means some $538.00 for each one of us to pay. or about $2,690 for each family of five.

When the time comes for us again to select senators and represents: tives. it behooves each of us to ex-amine the records of those asking for our votes, ond to turn thumbs down on those who have put u* in the red to the extent of our entire income for one year.

QUEEN BESS'

MRS. BESS CROSS of Deering. Alaska, has been paying her every-fifth-year visit to the States. Sounds prosaic, but to her sourd.'Jgh friends in and out of Alaska, and to the fashionable feminine apparel dealers in New York, it is an event eagerly awaited.

To every sourdough—miner, trap-per and those In other lines, to every Eskimo, in fact, to all Alaska. Bess Cross is known as "Queen of the Arctic." a i e went to Alaska as a bride of 16. Her first husband op-erated a trading post and she as-sisted him. When he died, Bess car-ried on, and expanded. Today she has a large string of such posts all over the Alaskan wilds, and espe-cially along the shores of the Arctic ocean.

In Alaska, Bess wears a fur parka, walrus-hide boots, sealskin trousers as a matter of necessity, not from choice. She Is definitely feminine, and about once every five years she comes to the States, always travel-ing by plane. She goes to New York and indulges In a regular orgy ol clothes buying. She selects the daintiest, most luxurious of feminine apparel; lives In a fine suite at the Waldorf; entertains lavishly for a period of from two tc three weeks, and then files back to her string of Alaskan trading posts, to the white men snd Eskimos who love and re-spect ber, and to whom she is al-ways "Queen Bess of the Arctic."

Public opinion Is a In shaping a safety any community Any sincere police department wants to do the right thing in protecting the public but is frequently prevented from doing so by influential citizens or politicians.. This practice on the part of a few will ruin any safety program.

Public education Is necessary to correct such conditions. Fearless leadership on the part of honest officials, judges especially, must predomlnat". to help people who want to live In a safe community.

We urge every citizen to Investi-gate conditions in his own com-munity. If the courts and police de-partments are not operating as they should but are giving protection to a few to the disadvantage of the majority, then tha t tact should be publicly aired and corrected.

It 's smart to drive carefully!

Farms in Demand Says N. C. Thomas

From Grandville Star-Alliance:

w more than ever." omas, the pioneer auc-

country not N. C. Th

tloneer of South Division road, gave this explanation when asked by a representative of The Star-Alliance why there were far msales this spring.

He added a bit of Intoresting In-formation when he said: "Prices on all farm tools and stock is bringing top prices this spring ex-cept for horses. Horses are on the way out on farms, due to the fact that small tvactors e r e coming In In a big way. That also means that even small farms ere being motor-ized."

Thomas states that the crowds are large at all the sales and that means lively bidding and better prices.

Outlook Brighter

The sale of farms this winter has been decidedly good. He speaks from firrU-hand knowledge inas-much as he has operated a f a rm exchange and farm sales for two decades.

Young men are seeking small fa rms near the city, so that they might work In the daytime or night and operate their small scale farms in their spare time, and this Is a big factor."

The outlook for all farmers, de-clares Thomas, is much brighter than It has been for some time.

The surprising thing is the amount of cash that Is being dug up by prospective buyers. Some notes are being accepted, and very little time is being asked In these transactions, declares Thomas, par-ticularly a t the auctions. They seem to have the cach

Thomas lias cried auction sales for 32 years and is recognized as one of the best In the busings. l i e

y^ETTiNG right down to it, one reason why you get as much as 10% to

15% more miles per gallon from a 1941 FraBRALL Butck with Compound Car-buretion is that this engine is supplied with more air.

For it is a mixture of gasoline and air that gives you power.

A single carburetor, no matter how many jets it has, can handle only so much air.

But two carburetors that function as

needed, as is the case in Compound Carburetion, can meet any fuel-supply need from low-speed to heavy-power use - and always provide a well-bal-anced mixture.

They can double die air supply as well as die gasoline feed — and that's some-thing you can't do in any single-carbu-retor car.

So Compound Carburetion gets as much as 800 miles for die gas-cost of 700 in earlier Buicks of the same size.

I t also provides a walloping big bank of reserve power, which means an up-and-at-'em lift and surge that's nothing short of thrilling to experience.

And you can have Compound Carbu-retion, you know, on any 1941 Buiok -it's only a few dol-lars extra on the swell big SPECIAL pictured here, and < atandard equip-ment on ell other' models.

The Poorest Place to Tell a Lie!

IT his been said by some of our radical reformers that adver-

tising misleads the public

Such accusations fall under their own weight

The poorest place in the world to attempt a lie is in the

advertising columns of American newspapers and magazines,

and in American radio programs.

In the first place, our publishers and broadcasting companies

wouldn't carry dishonest advertizing. They outlawed it long ago.

In the feoood place, such efforts to mtslrad would be coo-

'dirty football It does not pay.

Informed people have lost interest in the advertising-baiting

one after another of diem has figured prominently before the

Tested Seeds Prove Safest

Farmers who receive advertise-mento from other states offering seeds of new and often unknown varieties of crops such as corn, oats, or beans will do well if they consult their county agents before buying, H. C. Rather, head of the the farm crope department a t Michigan State College advises.

Every year about this time farm-ers are flooded with offers of seeds promising to give increaaed re-turns. Some such seeds offered are good while others are untried and untested. Some of them are good in other states, but not adapted to Michigan climate and Michigan soils, Rather points out. Some others, he reports, are out-and-out fakes.

One firm in Ohio recently has been offering a new variety of soybean, seed of which retells a t $12 a bushel. A Michigan farmer consulted his county agent before buying, and the county agent in turn wrote to the Ohio experiment station for Information. The soy-bean advertised, the experiment bteticn reported, had been on test for three years, and in each of the testa produced lower yields than the common soys selling at normal prices.

An Iowa seed company sold in Michigan a carload of seed oats of a variety not recommended even for Iowa, where it originated. The price obtained was more than $2 a bushel.

Standard practice of the Michi-gan experiment station has been to test varieties for adaptation to Michigan condition, and this in-formation is always available to farmers and to seed dealers alike. I t is to the credit of reputable Michigan seed dealers that they recommend only varieties that have been tested and approved.

In nearly all instances county a ^ c u l t u r a l agents have informa-tion on varieties of seed, and if they have not, they can easily ob-tain such information from the col-lege. Thus, the farmer may. be saved a headache, and crop loss.

Maples Provide Good Cash Crop

The ideal sugar bush provides an annual cash crop ot sugar and syrup, and periodically a cash crop of fuel wood, when carefully man-aged. That Is the report of P. W. Roobino. assistant professor of forestry a t Michigan State College.

Professor Bobbins describe* ihe ideal bush as one that contains the largest number of trees per acre possible consistent with thriftlnese and well developed tops. In such a bush, he says, the leaf area almost completely shades the ground, and the forest floor is covered with leaf Utter and humus. No grass should be presenL

Young trees should abound, the forestry advises, to take the place of those that die, thus assuring a full bush. The fringe of the bush should be dense to protect the dry-ing of the forest floor by strong winds. Cattle should not be pastured in the bueh. either, as they destroy the undergrowth and hurm the trees, and the forage they obtain is of little value.

To maintain the productive activi-ty of the trees and produce hl^h quality of syrup, the following rules should be observed: Hang one bucket on trees 10 to 16 inches in diameter, and two on those 16 to 24 inches. Tap all around the tree, a s one side of the tree, by actual demonstration, is about as good as another.

Use a % bit for tapping and have It sharp. Make tap holes only about 1^4 Inches deep and use a tapered, round shouldered spile. Galvanized buckets with covers are best, and the sap should be strained into gathering and storage tanks.

The sap should be skimmed often during the boiling, and should be finished at 219 degrees F. After it ie filtered, the syrup should be canned hot.

The farmer who follows such practice, Bobbins declares, will have an annual cosh crop worth the labor and care, since he will always have a ready market for his product.

Has Praise for Heilmann's Column

The "Baseball Extra" fea ture by Harry Hellmann, which began in the Ledger s couple of weeks ago is being read with a great deal of In-terest by local fans. Commenting on thla series of articles. 8. L. Mar-•hall, editor of the Clinton County Republican-News, writes In part as follows:

"When Charley Gehringer's back stops hurting him, the people want to read about I t If Hank Green-berg is going to be Inducted Into army service, that Is news. If Dizzy Trout is really developing a change of pace, It might mean an-other pennant for the Tigers. If Tommy Bridges is about to become father again, the fans are Interest-ed.

"Last week we got a let ter from Harry Heilmann's Detroit repre-i tentative asking If we would be interested in carrying a weekly col-umn of observations, gossip and predictions by Harry Hellmann In the Republican-News for the dura-tion of the training season. We thought It would be Interesting and we recommend it as an antidote for war news and federal spending.

"Harry Is a big; gruff, but good-natured man who knows bis base-ball and loves to talk about I t Just now Harry Is a t Lakeland watching the Gehringers, Rowes, Bridges and Bartell. His keen eye Is Judging whether or not these young men. who are already base-ball old-timers, will be able to make the grade against the com-petition of the younger men like, Newhouser, Gorsloa, 'Dutch' Meyers and many others.

"In his position as an impartial 1 radio announcer. Harry Hellmann. has to be rather careful about ex-' pressing critical opinions. Never-' theless, he has & reputation as a judge of baseball talent on thej hoof and In the raw to maintain, i He is watching the Tigers In train-j ing every day. Perhaps no man,1

unless it be Del Baker or Bing Mil-ler. has better Judgment than Har-ry regarding the relative abilities of the team members."

So. Boston Grange

An audience of nearly seventy were present to enjoy the evening's entertainment which was In charge of the Home Economics comfalttee last Saturday eveninu

The Misses Margaret and Lucille Kyser favored th t audience w*th two vocal numbers, a f te r which Mr. and Mrs. Francis Smith, Miss Doris Sterzick, Glenn Raj* Ritten-ger. Mrs. Will Kllgus and Earl McDlarmid, under the directorship of Mra. Richard Falrchild. of Sweet School d is t r ic t presented a play.
