The man ner in which the President's where abouts were kept secret is astonishing in view of the activity of foreign agents and to the press and radio no small amount of credit is due for making the conference an uninterrupted meeting andan unqualified success. Since the big news is -out it is not a violation of ethics, to reveal that all news dispensing agencies were given advance information of the President's absence from Washington, Can you imagine the color of one Shicklgruber's, face when the big story broke? Can you not see him storming about his headquarters, demanding to know where his trusted and widely heralded agents, were to allow the man for whom he holds the greatest contempt and who is his number one hate to quietly slip away from Washington and em bark on a five thousand mile air jaunt right into .Adolph's territory? Some one's, head will be disconnected from his body for that slip. But that appears to be part of the President's campaign to keep Adolph up in the air and it is a program in which the press and other news, agen cies are playing a willing hand. With the competition there is mong news agencies to "scoop" the news field it is, truly a display of patriotism for all to participate so wholeheartedly that hot the slightest hint that the President was not at his desk leaked out for a. matter of ten or twelve days and no knowledge of his whereabouts was gained until official announcement was made. It should be a lesson to the Axis co horts that the people of the Allied countries are united to win the sort of victory President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met to discuss. It likewise proves that the press of the land as well as all other agencies hand ling news are alert to the necessity of working m harmony with the high command and are doing a commend able job.

Planting a crop, milking a cow, rais ing a hog or selling a steer have all be come acts which virtually require a lawyer's advice. So today more than ever, a farmer needs the help of cooperative market ing organizations. He needs, the advice of experts. Acting individually, he is sunk. Acting collectively, he can com pete with the power and the influence arrayed against him. It is up to the farmer to solve his, own problems, by intelligent action through his own farm organization speaking for him. o : IT CAN'T BE HELPED The Gazette Times comes to you this week in abbreviated form, not from a matter of choice but due to circum stances which have left no alternative. The truth of the matter is that a short age of newsprint in the press room is responsible and it is to be hoped that such a shortage will not occur again. Two factors combined to create the shortage failure to order early enough and a shortage at the whole sale house due to tieup of paper mills in the heavy weather prevailing in the vicinity of Portland. This may be a sample of what is to come when ra tioning sets upon the printing indus try in good earnest and in the mean time it will be our purpose to keep the Gazette Times as near up to standard as conditions will permit. Some feat ures have been omitted and will be resumed next week. -o- -o- DIVIDED THEY FALL Under that heading the Industrial News Review says just about what the average farmer is thinking these days and states the case in approximately the manner this paper has felt inclined to state it, only in better terms. Says the INR: Surrounded by big government, big business and big labor organizations, the farmer who tries to struggle along by himself today is rather helpless. He finds agencies on every side telling him TIME TO HELP The right of any business to advance by the initiative of its owner or man agement, operating on a competitive basis, has, given this country a merchan dising system that is now of incalcula ble value to consumers in money saved, and in the greater variety and better quality of products and merchandise offered. Retail stores, never before faced such problems as today. Securing goods for distribution requires expert knowledge, foresight and an under standing of laws and regulations here tofore unheard of in this nation. There is one request that merchants now make of all consumers: Between now and the time full war rationing takes effect late in February, don't hoard. The merchants ask this be cause they are cooperating with gov ernment to the utmost to avoid disrup tion of consumer supplies. Merchandi sers, no matter how efficient, cannot distribute products that do not exist. Lend-lease and military demands have made deep inroads on supplies of all kinds. It is up to the consumer to co operate in dividing what is left. o Death of two Morrow county boys in the armed forces reported this week brings the war closer home. As the battle grows heavier and more of our boys are thrown into action we may expect more grim news. It is not a cheerful outlook but one which we must steel ourselves to face.
