O Eastern Nebraska comes and
passes. Iowa looms fair across the
Missouri. And still the corn in its
millions of rows alongside the
tracks is backward and timid.
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

Hutu going so incessantly, that
there is no time for cleaning or

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.

Revision Coming Soon
WASHINGTON, July 16.
(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.

DDT Test Will
Answer Question:
Boon or Menace?
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.
