Editorials on Newt (Coatlaued Iron PM 1.) thrust by Montgomery coming up from the south. Montgomery is Rommel's big worry. .iJfc TI1KRE Is other encouraging news from Africa. As Rommel retreats, von Ar nim strikes far to the north, clear up toward Mcdjez el Hnh and Mateur (see your map), hop ing to catch the British short of tanks after sending armored forces south to stop Rommel. The British WEREN'T SHORT. They stopped von Arnim In his tracks, smashing seven of his tanks and losing only one of their own. THAT Is to say, we didn't have to weaken our line dangerous- I ly nt one point In order to slop Rommel at another polnj. i ' i IN Russia, the Germans are fight I Inn hack harder and the Rus- ! slans, wadlnR deep snow in the north and sticky mud In the south, are advancing more slow- That suggests that the Ger mans are neiiring the new line they hope to hold. WATCH this situation as It de-! velops. j It the Germans hold on their I new line, it will be one thing. If they KAIL to hold, and the Russians break through again, it will be something altogether dif ferent -and1 QUITE significant. It will mean that Germany Is weakening definitely.

Stanton RESIDENTS of Doulas county will be called upon this month to subscribe a quota of $12,000 for the American Red Cross war fund. A great mtny demands are being made upon the family pocket book this month, for we must meet income taxes, continue purchase of war savings bonds, and take care of the normal obligations, but despite these financial outlays we should not overlook the call of the American Red Cross. jNor should we be content with contributing the usual member ship fee. This war in which our nation and her allies are now 'engaged is being fought by men who love freedom; men who I are willing to lay down theii lives to preserve all those things which we sum up as the American way of life. The sacrifice being made by these men demands that we, too, accept re sponsibility in greater measure than heretofore. The American Red Cioss uses the talents of many individuals in bringing recreation, comfort, messages and counsel to our fighting forces the world over, and to the families of these men on the home front. Conipr.iativcly few have the privilege or the special experience necessary for rendering such services in person to these men of our armed forces. But that does not mean each of us cannot make a direct contribution in this great and necessary work. Not one of us can escape the personal responsibility of an all out war. Every man. woman and child can and should make some real contribution lo ultimate victory. The American Red Cross actually is an auxiliary of the military forces of the United Slates. It is a humanitarian and mornle-building arm upon which our fighting men lean heavily. The multiple services rendered by the Red Cross to our army and navy, both at home and abroad, must continue and be expanded. The same is true of the many services made available to the people who other organization is equipped or trained to give. These mt facts with which we are all familiar and are only repealed here thaf we may recall our personal responsibility to this great inslitution. I Douglas county has stood in I No call made so far has gone sponse has been greater than requested. We are now asked lo raise a quota of $12,900 for tund. Despite all hendicaos. goal, but we should surpass it. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting System, 1490 Kilocycles. BEST BETS FOR TODAY TUESDAY 7:00 Address by Madame Chiang Kal Shek. 7:30 Boy's Town.

Wiflfamt Care of Hatching Eggs Means More Healthy Chicks The percentage of eggs thai will hatch strong, vigorous chicks can be Increased 5 to 15 per cent by proper care between the time eggs are laid and when they go into the Incubator, says Noel L. Bennion, extension poultry spe cialist at O. S. C. Best results .are obtained by gathering hatching eggs three or four times a day, particuarly in warm weather, cooling them im mediately, and keeping them at a temperature of from 45 to 60 degrees, with 85 per cent humid ity. When temperature gets above 68 degrees, or medium room tem perature, cell division will start In a fertile egg, causing some em bryos to die before the eggs reach the incubator, says Bennion, When eggs are held longer than seven days a slight decrease in hatchability occurs, while after 14 days the reduction is rapid. Turning eggs once a day will help If they are kept longer than a week. Medium sized eggs, from 21 to 2(i ounces per dozen, are prefer red over extremely large or small eggs. Clean unwashed eggs hatch better than those that arc dirty or washed. Madame Kai-Shek Will Be Heard on Air Tonight Madame Chiang Kai-shek will again speak to the American public tonight, when she will ad dress a rally in Madison Square garden, New York.

Wendell Willkie will ap pear on the same program and introduce Madame Kai-shek to the public. DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS God's greatest thought was man. His greatest act was the creation of man. He made man in His own image. He therefore made man for fel lowship with himself. In the beginning there was perfect fellowship between God and man. That was and is the plan of God. Satan sought to destroy this fellowship. He still seeks to do so. He came to the first woman and man with a subtle scheme, and led them into sin. Here is the first record of the first fear, the first blush, the first shame. This is the common experi ence of the human race. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." The fellow ship is broken. Our consci ence Ix-ars mute testimony to the fact. The glorious fact here revealed, however, is not the fact that of temptation, nor the fact of sin. but the fact that God seeks us in our sins and yearns to restore the fellowship. The voice of the Lord is ever being heard by all sinning men. and the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ is ever saying "Come unto me, all ye that labor and arc heavy laden and I will give you rest." Satan seeks to de stroy the fellowship between Christ and ourselves. Sin tcparates us from God. But 1 hanks he unto God. who. through Jesus Christ glveth us the victory over sin, and makes our fellowship com plete. Amen Concerning the NORTHWEST As Viwd t the National Capital By John W.Kelly WASHINGTON, D. C. March ). "The question of food produc tion has become desperate." de clared the chairman of the house agricultural committee. The long heralded rationing of food Is now in effect; the housewives arc learning a new way to buy, by points. Almost all kinds of food are under price control (fresh vegetables will have a celling In a couple of months as they come on the market). And while the housewife of Grants Pass or Enumclaw Is seeking food for her family, on the railroad tracks from Montana to Puget sound and Columbia river are miles or freight cars filled with food. At ports of departure on the Atlantic the warehouses are Jammed with food; thousands of ears are un able to discharge their freight of food. Cars on the tracks of the northwest and warehouses, docks and cars on the Atlantic seaboard contain food going abroad under lend-lease. Here and there at strategic spots the quartermaster depart mont has built warehouses and filled them with all sorts of chow for American troops overseas; Ihe quartermaster has purchased with a free hand, anticipating an 11,000,000 army. The only one placed on a ration is the Ameri can citizen, who will have much less to eat than heretofore, and In the days to come his food sup ply will- be even more sketchy. OPA explains shortage of -food by saying the army requirements must be met. In round numbers there are today approximately 7,000,000 men. They eat about 1.5 times as much as when In civil life, so that the strain on the na tional food basket Is only one-half more for 7,000,000 men than II wits, and with food resources of the United States It is insignifi cant. No Utility Gifts Proposal of the new congress man from Washington, Fred Norman, to have the government How many miles in your "A" book? Despite wor-fime restrictions. Standard Gasoline in mypunip today is not surpassed by any other gasoline in the West- And believe me, that mokes a difference in how many miles you get from your "A" book. It takes good gasoline arid good driving to get your full mile age allotment You can depend on Standard Gasoline Unsurpassed and the raoat important good driving habits are right here: I. Push thechukcin if your car has one) the minute the engine runs evenly. 1. Shift into second at 5 miles an hour, and into high at 15 or 20. S. Give up "jackrabbit" starting. 4. Coast, in gear, up to atops. S. It us check your plugs every 6,000 miles. r SUSAI Mar. 15 is last day to use Coupon 1 1.

I Tire inspection is It looks as if a lot of "A" Holders arc going to wait until the last minute to get their official tire inspections. Better ask any of us Standard Service Men or Women about official tire inspection right away. 'STANDARD OF turn over Grand Coulee to the state of Washington And Bonne ville project to the joint control of Washington and Oregon has not caused any excitement and nothing will happen to the bill.'-' Congress is not in the temper to give to states the projects In ' which immense sums of taxpayer money has been Invested. Jap Troops Not Wanted Apparently the proposal that American-born Japanese be taken into the military service does not meet with the approval of many veterans of world war No. 1, who are residents of the Pacific coast. The suggestion, made by the war department, was that a few thou sands of these citizens be given .1-- 1 1 . . . - nA . I- ine uppui iu...y iu uL-ica.u un united States, and used in Europe and not In the Pacific theater of war. From the tone of letters sent to the war department and to congressional members, the veterans want none of the pro posal carried into effect. Genera! opinion is that W'hlle there may be loyal Americans among th evacuees there Is no known test to prove that their sympathies are with the United States and not the land of their ancestors. New Plums To Be Doled Several good Jobs will be avail able In the northwest when Paul V. McNutt, manpower chief, gets around to them; pay runs from $4,500 to $5,600 and up. McNutt is now building up his staff, mostly in the eastern states. The names he selects are sent to the. presi dent who sends them to the sen ate, and that body approves them without question. Being a practi cal man, It is assumed that Mc Nutt listens to new dealers in recommendations for one of these positions. May Hike Log Prices Efforts have been made lo re vise the price of logs In the north west lumber Industry. The cost of labor, It Is alleged, and other op erating expenses make It lm" perative to obtain a higher price ' or close up shop because of the Inescapable loss. The subject is being studied. One pound, or 31 tablespoons ful, of waste cooking fats will produce the glycerine, processed as an explosive, required to fire four 37 mm anti aircraft shells. l - sTa 7 . 1 ni COFFII - Mar. 21 is last day to use Coupon 2, War Ration Book No. 1.
