"Our first and biggest Job is to increase the necessary food and feed to win this war and write the peace," said Hampton.

Supple mental loans for production goods, repair of buildings and livestock shelters, feed, seed and cooperative facilities will be available if needed." Hampton emphasized that not only production of essential war foods for market, but food for home use is being stressed. Increased production for home use can be as valuable to the war effort by cutting domestic market demands, as a step-up in commercial production. Women To Aid "Efficient production through Using the best dairy, hog, poul try, feed, crop, and garden prac tices will be another Important step in producing food for vic tory," Hampton said. "Farm women will make their contri bution through expanding pro grams for canning and storing fruits and vegetables, curing of meats for family use and in tensification of the live-at-home program.

TAXI MAN FINED F( Lee A. Smith, local taxlcab owner, pleaded guilty In Justice of the peace court this morning to a charge of assault and bat tery involving a 15-year-old boy, Wilbur Chastain of Route 2, and was fined $5 and costs. The com plaint was filed by Wilbur's mother, Mrs. LeVelle Chastain. Smith, police said, admitted striking the youth twice on the left side of the face Sunday night. The taxicab owner, police said, accused young Chastain of taking the receiver off the cab company's extension line on West Main street. Smith, according to the rec ords, drove out West Main street and stopped between Laurel street and Oakdale avenue when he saw the young boy riding his bicycle in the vicinity. Young Chastain denied the accusation that he had taken the receiver off, saying he didn't know what it was all about, after which Smith struck him twice, police stated. Dm Mall Tribune want ads.

VP) In ceremony held in 13th century Oslo fortress and guarded by nativ Norwegian storm troop- The Victory Trains are rolling! Tou are doing everything you can to help in the war effort. You may be interested to know what we are doing. Southern Pacific i engaged in an all-out effort to do a 100 per cent job in moving troop, equipment and supplies, and defense ma terials. We are helping to "Keep 'Em Flying" by "Keeping 'Em Rolling." Among the railroads who share this basic task of national defense, none is more strategically situated than Southern Pacific, so we have an extraordinary responsibility. The tremendous volume of defense traffic we are carrying is impressive evidence that things are popping that Uncle Sam has his sleeves rolled up and is "going to town." It it inspiring to us who are keeping the trains moving. We know it will be encouraging to you. Defense leaders tell us that our performance in handling defense traffic has been extra good. But in the handling of this traffic, inconvenience has been caused our regular patrons. At various points on our System we have had to curtail some regular passenger train service much of it productive, profitable service in order to clear the tracks or conserve equipment and manpower for defense train "victory trains" we prefer to call them. And there have been some delays to our regular service, both passenger and freight, which our patrons have cheerfully and patriotic ally accepted. We appreciate their understanding. For the reasons stated above we discontinued Trains 7 and 8 between Dunsmuir and Grants Pas. We regret this waa necessary. Bus service, coordinated with our trains at Duns muir has been substituted. This arrangement saves some time and we will exert every effort to make this service comfort able and dependable. We're working hard to give our regular patrons good serv ice, despite the pressure of defense traffic. We want you to know that Southern Pacific people, both in your community and elsewhere, want to be just as helpful as possible in meet ing your transportation needs. We want to serve you pleasantly and well. Vice-President, System Pcssenger Traffic S-JP The Friendly Southern Pacific Births en, Nazi gestapo agent n4 German soldier.
