Re member the fat proprietor, the heavenly scent of chill that permeated the premises at noon, and the display of top Strings, pencils and, most im pressive of all the two-for-a-cent candy? Rimtmbtr the grim dilemma that was yours whin, having pant your whole allowance an Itcorlco whips and jaw-breakers, you could not buy the brightly varlogafod nickel pencil you wonted, but Instead wore forced to get along with a common 3c ono till nsxt allowance? Happy problem! Now behind usl So I thought till I remem bered Mrs. C 1 i n t o n's mother who goes shopping Willi a similar abandon. In variably on her way home she has to buy gas. And invariably her pure contains a balance of eactly 30c and one hairpin- So she buys 39c worth of gas, there by driving herself nuts! Therefore I now recommend to Mrs, C i mother, te yea and to at) who face this dowblo-hornod dilemma get a Union Credit Card. Then If won't matter how much cash you spend on shop ping trips, or for licorice whips. You can always get gat, or ony th'ng for your car in a Union OH trot -on. v . r, , - , Union Credit Cards are good all over trie w pt, the whole U. S. and even in Western Canada. They are safer than ciih, more convenient, and they prottde a monthly, itemized sut' mrnt of how much your car oris ta run. Get an spplicatkm fmn the Union Minute Man at your favorite Union Oil station, today.

Hybred Corn Variety Adanled to Valley Is Offered by Ben Cay Wisconsin 695 variety of hy brid corn has been found to be well adapted to the Rogue River Valley, according to Ben Day, Sams Valley rancher and farmer, who has conducted exhaustive experiments in various sections of southern Oregon. Mr. Day, one of the important growers of seed corn in this section of the coast, has checked many varie ties of corn in an effort to find a type suited to the particular requirements of this area. According to Day, tests con ducted by county agents of Jack son and Josephine counties have shown yields as high as 129 bushels to the acre, with 84 per cent grain, silage yields of 15 tons per acre, low moisture con tent and lodge resistance.

Vert often these days; I get to thinking about the soldier boys at camp. And the sailors, too. What worries me is . . . what happens when they get a day off after working their heads off all week? They go to town . . . and what then? What happens? The answer Is . ; . mostly nothing I Because most towns near army camps just don't have nearly enough entertainment facilities to take care of the soldiers on leave. So the boys just stand around, leaning against lampposts or sitting on doorsteps. And some times, the local townsfolk find themselves wondering what's changed the town . . . instead of pitching in to help the boys have a good time in decent surroundings. e In many towns, however, the situation is better. Many towns have nice, community places where a soldier can go sit down and "chew the fat" and enjoy some cake and milk, or maybe a good glsas of beer. The boys like that And they're not likely to get in trouble ... because common sense tells yon (oW all iltEf? 8313?
