County agents, experiment sta

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

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

Years ago when

Nowdays, however, almanacs are
published generally by manufac

Everyone takes
tlie telephone for granted
That’s it exactly. The telephone is such a natural every
day thing. It isn't unusual for anybody, anywhere, to have
one or, at least, be able to use a telephone conveniently
near by.
You don’t give much thought to it. You don’t have to
because other people, lots of them, are thinking and
working all the time to keep your telephone working just
so that you may take it for granted.
