County agents, experiment sta tic ns and agricultural colleges have discounted this information until the new generation of farmers pay 1:1 Ue attention to the moon when p’antng vegetables. But the almanac makers have a new one. They tell fishermen when to fish. For instance, through the agency of a handy almanac, we fi-.d that July 3 and 4, are among the very best fishng days of the month. We might have suspeited that the 4th would be among the good days. It is also a good day to set hens ar.d a good day for melons. It will also, and this in formation is our own, be a good day for ice cream and fire crackers. We congratulate the makers of a manacs for their ability to keep u > with the public demand. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER SUBSCRIPTION RATES A UMINU.M DEMAND Payable in Advance ONE YEAR ................. $ 150 For the life of us we can’t tell J U N - ¿7, 1941 PETTER ALLIANCE The change in mental attitudes foi the communists and liberals (what ever they are) in this world must be as great now as it was a few years ago when Russia and Germany made their pact of friend ship. Sabotage of American industry that is trying to make war equip ment to lick Hitler should be less and those chauvanistic citizens who have gone about the land giv ing vent to bad words about the communists may suffer some pause from recent occurances. The doctrines of communism are that everyone shall receive accord ing to his needs and produce ac cording to his ability. It has long been the argument of this paper that such a plan would re sult in lower production and less foi everyone. When that theory has as its only alternate the con tinuation of economic conditions such as existed in middle Europe since the last war it does not seem so dangerous. There has been no chance for the ordinary 'o»n to succeed in Europe and this kills hope and ambition more quickly than does communism. This war has seriously vrpset economics and often when that happens the common man finds himself in a better position than before, if he does not allow a dictator to take over all power. Better living for the common man is a result to be desired whether it is called democracy, communism or something else. Stories told by men who have lived in Europe are that a large part of the inhabitants of that continent habitually live on half fare and many never have enough to eat from birth to death. We who are producing food will be in terested in any sort of economic system that makes it possible foi them to get the habit of eating ar.d eating regularly. Whether the new alignment that puts theoretically communis tic Russia on the same side as the masses of China, theoretically democratic United States and England, will aid the common man to get more rights and more food with less danger of losing power to a dictator or not cannot be known yet. It seems reasonable to believe that ordinary Europeans would have more confidence in such leadership than in Hitler who is an avowed dictator who has pro claimed that the ordinary man should have no rights as an in dividual. From the point of view of food, however, Hitler has done ytry well by the Germans. The new stage of the war ap parently makes it most difficult for Germany to win. It makes enemies of its allies so persistently and the occupied lands do not be come friendly in so brief a time. Except for weak Italy there is no power now giving willing aid to the Germans. All their support i# driven support hich makes the job of civilian administration a stag gering one even if there was no war. Mr. Hitler, in setting out to hate everyone, will surely take in tee much territory pretty' soon Jews, Communists, Poles, Czecks, Hungarians, Rumanians, Greeks, Yugoslavs, French, Dutch, Danes, Norweigans, English and now Russians. He sure dislikes a lot of people. UP-TO-DATE Years ago when Benjamin Frankln issued his (Poor Richard’s Almanak he incorporated therein certain sayings of his own and other old and new philosophers along with information about crops and animals. This practice has been continued by almanac makers to this day. Nowdays, however, almanacs are published generally by manufac turers of patent medicines whose ingenuity has kept up with the times. Instead of merely telling the avid reader what the weather is going to be during the entire year, which In itself is a service of no mean value, modem almanacs whether this drive to collect old, u ed aluminum utensils and auto r its is a drive to increase inter- e t ip national defense or to obtain a supply of aluminum. Compared to factories that pro duce the metal by the thousands of pounds the weight of whatever d scarded ecoking utensils might b ■ collected seems slight. For giving everyone an interest in the piuduction of planes for fighting L’itlef probably nothing could beat g.ving up the family tea kettle. Probably there were many thou sand pounds of discarded alumi- n :m motor blocks in junk yards a few years ago before we so gen erously sold them to Japan with ’ ’’ich to ‘lick thç Chinese. . Now there are few of them. Anyway it should create intereat. Sc Hitler calls Stalin a double c iisser.

Consideration $500. 1 FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1911 1 % lu m n T< :he Editor: l his s no treatise on the horse. Ht wever, in view of the increased ua > of the horse for pleasure rid ing, rather than for racing, for fighting, or for draft, perhaps a few words on the breed which holds th honors for pleasure riding— the American Saddle Bred horse—are aj .opos. A true 'product of America of w* ch all horse lovers are justly prrud, the American Saddle Bred he se is a relatively new breed in th long history of the horse. It t the result of thg demand and d< ire of southern riders for a hoise for all-purpose riding. . . for a horse that would be attractive, etry-gaited for short or long rides . . . . a horse with stamina, intelligence and amenability. To the Thoroughbred, the English bred horse noted for its running speed, is given the credit for the covrage, the bone, finish and sta in "na of the American Saddle Brvu hr-se. And to the Pacer must be gi' en the credit for the easy saddle g a ls for which the American Saddler is famed. For the Thor oughbred, fleet of foot on the run ning track, generally with a good canter, a fair walk, but a poor trot with little action, can take no credit for the easy gaits of the American Saddle Bred. No train er’s skill cart make a good saddle horse out of a pure Thoroughbred rurner, though if other blood, such as American Saddler is in troduced, the gaits are easily pro duced. The five gaits that characterize the American Saddle bred horse arc the walk, the slow gait, the trrt with its beautiful high action, the easy canter, and the rack, the last a fast cultivated gait be- tw< en a trot and a pace. .Much attention in breeding these fine horses is given to beauty, high action, and ability to develop the five distinct gaits. Other countries have, chosen certain breeds for riding purposes, but America alone has produced and developed a special breed of horse to he used solely for that purpose Indeed, the American Saddle Bred horse, is the true pleasure saddle horse of the world.
