And so it is in Illinois and in Indiana and in Ohio. Not only timid and backward, but a pale, yellowish green sure sign of too much moisture and too little sun. In wet spots in the fields the smartweed is rank and luxuriant. There is water In the wheel tracks and the sloughs run roily and brown. It is quite apparent that old Jupiter Pluvius has. been on a bender ail across the country. AT this point you may yawn be hind your hand and murmur: "What's all this to me? I'm no corn grower." Wait a minute. You may be no corn grower, but the chances are you're a bacon cater- or would like to bo . and you may be such a wild eyed optimist as to hope that someday again you will ha,ve your 1111 of ham. There is such a tiling, you know, as the corn-hog ratio, which works out that when corn is scarce hogs are apt to be scarcer. So if you like hams and bacon and all the good things of life that are fried in the grease, the condition of the corn crop Is something that gets right In un der your bell and creates a queasy vaccum. For once car-window observa tion, which is ordinarily nothing to tie to, coincides with scientific crop estimating. The July crop re port of the Department of Agri culture is just out a,nd it pro claims that one of the smallest corn crops in recent years is in the offing. CHICAGO comes and goes after a lay-over In this town that is so big and Important that no western railroad runs through it and beyond and where even the Pullman cars stop and turn around but by some freak of the weather it is cool and bracing. Normally, about this time of the year, Chicago's sidewalks are convenient for f lying eggs on, but hot and jading to a westerner killing time between trains. EVENTUALLY the time passes and the Pennsylvania's Liberty Limted, Washington-bound, pulls out. It was once one ot the n.i tlon's crack trains running over one of the country's smoothest roadbeds. Now it is one jump better than a cattle train, anil the roadbed is so rough that if you had a job of churning to do you could kill two birds with one stone by bringing the churn and lotting the Jolts do the work. TOMORROW MAY NOT COME By Charle. V. Stanton Last June 11, Robert G. Brown, 66, vas found dead in his room at Oakland, Oregon. He was a man who lived very frugally. He Was believed by those who knew him to be in poor financial circumstances, a conclusion occasioned by his mode of life. He had few close friends or confidants. Because it was his habit to absent himself from Oakland without notifying- anyone of his departure, his death was not discovered until three weeks after the day he is pre sumed to have died from a heart ailment. Subsequent in quiry has revealed an estate valued at $44,145,71, according to an appraisal filed with the county clerk. The nearest known relative is a niece residing at Hillsboro, Ore. Obviously, we arc assuming a presumptive attitude in mentioning Mr. Brown's death and his estate. The sum of $44,000 is not a lot of money measured by today's standards. It was his right to live the life of a recluse if he so desired; it was his privilege to live frugally and to deny himself the comforts which he could have provided had he chosen to do so. We do not intend to criticize. But each time we hear of a case of this kind, our mind Hashes back to the title of an article which appeared years ago in American magazine: "When You Come To Easy Street, Turn Off." We have seen so many people who, to assure a comfort able old age, pinch, scrape and, save, forming a habit of ex cessive thrift which becomes so firmly ingrained that it can never be broken,' as they continue their self-denial until death overtakes them. Their accumulation of wealth perhaps gave them pleasure, bu.t so fow realize the opportunity of enjoyment as they planned it in the early days of their thrift program. A prominent business man, a few days ago, was discus sing this same topic with a friend. "I am not worried", the friend said. "I expect to be able to live off the interest from my money." "Interest," snorted the business man, "I intend to live off the principal of mine." We know of one elderly couple holding the same opinion as the business man. They are not wealthy, but they have moderate means. When the man retired front business, they calculated their probable life span. They estimated the period into a very ripe old age, set aside an "emergency" fund, "rationed" the principal on an annual basis and arc proceeding to "have fun." Their only worry now is that they are getting so much pleasure out of life they might live even longer than the limit upon which their calculations were based. And from their present-day vigor, 100 years for either or both wouldn't be surprising. It is everyone's duty, we believe, to provide for old age. Thrift in the accumulative period of life is essential if we are to assure ourselves necessities and moderate comforts of life following our productive years. Too many of us live for today with no thought for tomorrow. But on the other hand, it is possible to reverse tl:e trend and live so much in dread of bleak (Jays that we fail to enjoy the days in which we live. For many people, tomorrow never comes. B lit'URE the war, those would have been fighting words. but now the Pennsylvania pays them no heed. If it had time to answer, it would reply: "What you say in your Im patience is doubtless true, but wc beg to remind you that then is a war on and the railroads are in it up to their necks. These cars that you carp at are what they lire because we have to keep Hutu going so incessantly, that there is no time for cleaning or overhaul and the tracks of whose roughness you complain are made so by the constant pounding o( heavy war freight whose end purpose Is to smash our enemies and If we hadn't been here to carry it, our enemies might have smashed us. "Etoldps, If you as a Chilian Public eating establishments are subject to such severe ration allotments that only one person in 400 stands a chance to obtain a serving of steak, reports the American Hotel Association. The American housewife, the association points out, gets .644 of a red ration point per meal, on an average, as against .567 of a red ration point for each customer in a public establishment. At last we have a good excuse for not taking the wife out to dinner. Infantry Badge Awarded Milo 61 WITH THE 33UD DIVISION ON LUZON Pie. Harrv I..

(API Tha new critical score for army discharge, expected to be announced within the next two weeks, still will be based on pojnts accumulated only up to last May 12. War department officials said today a new compilation of point totals, including those accumu lated since last May, probably would be made late this year. The new critical score will be lower than, the 85 ppints set in the interim score announced this spring, but the reduction prob ably will not bp large. This low ering of the total score will make more soldiers eligible, on a point basis, for discharge even though they are unable to figure in new points earned since May 12.

Anderson urged "the situation be corrected. Ariwcu said the department of agriculture had been misinform ed about quantities of Japanese grown produce destroyed because Seattle wholesalers refuse to ban die it.

By FRANK CAREY AP Science Writer WASHINGTON DDT, the war-developed Insecticide, is un dergoing a rigorous trial this summer by scientists seeking to determine whether large-scale use will prove a boon or a menace. The laboratory men want to learn the effects of spraying DDT from aircraft over forest, field and stream. It's already known that it can kill a greater variety of insects than any other insecticide known to man. It's been successfully em ployed against a host of pests which beset man, beast and plant, thus offering wide possibilities for its use in agriculture, preventive medicine, forest conservation and the protection of recreational areas. Can Also Be Harmful But tests also have shown that DDT also can be injurious ' to many beneficial insects, such as honey bees, as well as to forest parasites and other natural ene mies which help keep other in sects under control. So the scientists want to deter mine from large-scale tests the effects of the insecticide on these beneficial insec's and on fish, birds and other wildlife. Extensive experiments In air craft spraying of woodland areas are being conducted this summer by cooperating federal and state agencies in Pennsylvania, Mary land and Nebraska. Until the tests are completed says Dr. P. N. Annand, chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, DDT can not be recommended for large-scale use by aircraft spraying for con trol of forest pests. Might Upset Balance "The large-scale use of DDT against forest pests might upset the balance of nature." declares a statement by experts of the Department of Agriculture. "This might result in depriving woodland recreation areas of birds and fish. It might cause more harmful forest pests to be prevalent, killing or weakening more trees, than is caused by common forest insect pests now held in check by natural enemies. Finally, it might affect food Pro duction by killing honeybees and other insects which polinale some at) important crops. The investigators will seek to determine whether birds, reptiles, DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A, EDWARDS We are living in a world of human need. Sometimes W2 try to escape our responsibility to minister to that need by withdrawing to some place apart. Sometimes we attempt to close our eyes that we may not see the need. Sometimes we cultivate indifference that we may not be sensitive. Some times when we become con scious of the needs of others, we become more conscious of self and do as many do, pass by on the other side, because we think of what it would cost us if wc stopped to help. Christ always cultivated a sensitive spirit toward man's need. He saw what others did not sec and ministered to those wrom others passed by. What will be our attitude toward those in sorrow, in want, and dis tress? God approves the spirit of the Christ. All other atti tudes are fruitless and bring disaster, not only to the person in need, but to the one who could have ministered unto him and did nothing. We are told that we will continue to be rationed for many months after the war, because of the needs of millions beyond the seas. Millions homeless, des titute and helpless. We must be the almsmen to those less fortunate than ourselves, and thus show- that we have the spirit of Christ within us. Amen. mammals and other wildlife are injured from feeding on insects poisoned with DDT, by eating foliage covered with the spray residue or by being deprived of food through extermination of insects.
