By the end of this week, 50,000

ed into an unarmed but power
ful force to expose "fifth column
activities" in this state, the As
sociated Farmers said today.
Only "those methods pre
scribed by law" will be used, the
organization said, and every ef
fort will be made to prevent
mass hysteria.
"Our strategies we naturally
cannot reveal," a committee
statement said, "but within three
days in every rural county of
California farmers, quiet men
doing their bit, will be at work.
No Hysteria
"There will be no hysteria.
Our men will try to halt any
outbreak of that nature any
where, for it could slow down
the efficient cooperation of the
drive."
Declaring the United States
and California had "a large fifth
column," the statement asserted:
"These traitors must be found
and driven out. . . .
"This statement is in the na
ture of an appeal to the general
Sublic, an appeal for vigilance
i every walk of life for these
traitors attempting to under
mine our American way or our
American defense plans."

rejected.

day" addressed to his armies,
the fuehrer declared:
"The plutocratio rulers of
England and France, who
pledged each other to avoid
' with all means the bloom of a
new and better world, want a
continuation of the war."

If
Excepting Hermits
II
i
ermits art? people who think two's a crowd.
They live in caves or huts, wear long gray beards
and eat everything from berries to nuts. They
don't, as a rule, buy anything.
Self respecting hermits spend most of their time
meditating, contemplating and talking to them
selves. Their minds are hermit-ically sealed to
anything going on in the world. In fact, what
really puts hermits in a class by themselves is
that they don't care a hang about the news.
But for everyone excepting hermits, news is a
vital necessity of everyday life. Since the day
Eve told Adam about the apple, news has been
the leading topic of conversation all day long.
S0MI Or T H I ADVANTAGES
And today the craving for the news is stronger
than ever before . . . because never before has the
individual's welfare and happiness been so in
timately affected by events at home and abroad.
That's why your daily newspapers draw a larger
and more intensely interested audience . . . day
after day . . . than any other medium. And that,
in turn, is the fundamental reason why your ad
vertising in newspapers inevitably hits harder,
works faster and brings more immediate results.
