significance of the following
facts recently revealed by the

Brands, Inc , was $73,000. The
corporation paid nearly four
times that, $282,000. to Edgar
Bergen for advertising lu prod

still begging for an Increase in
his salary, which is 7S cents a

"The Fighting 91st!"
"Probably we weren't the greatest outfit In tha war, but
we thought we were. And when we started out for a place,
we got there. I will say this for the old 9 1st, too, we
never lacked grit, guts or gumption!"
THAT remark was made over 20 years ago by an of-
ficer of the old 91st and has always lingered in the
writer's memory, as typical of the spirit of that
famous World War division.
It adds up to what is
it is, we believe, the most
this war, the last war, any
to come. As our old friend said :
The 91st lads probably weren't the greatest out
fit in the war, but (off the record!) they THOUGHT
they were, and when it came to getting to a place,
well, they never lacked "grit, guts or gumption"
and somehow, someway, by hook or by crook, they
"uurtnere."
CO welcome to them today and tomorrow, the vet-
erans of the old "Fighting 91st," here to attend
the reactivation of the new. This community and

and would wish nothing more for the New 91st, than

RUT many as are the years that have passed since
J. kjw u.vi ukiuti ui uic utiiuai tlols CLI1U IJInllJr
as have been the changes both in this long suffering
planet and the methods of modern warfare,
Certain FUNDAMENTALS have not changed!
And we can think of no better general description
fr those "certain fundamentals" than contained in
the above from our old 91st
"When we started out for
That was the spirit of
month of bloody uphill fighting in the Argonne; that
vas the spirit that brought the following tribute from
commanding General ueorge Cameron of the 5th
army corps in an order to General Johnston of the
91st when the first terrific smash was over:
"At a time when the divisions on Its flanks were falter
ing and even falling back, the Slst pushed forward and
steadfastly clung to every yard gained. In its Initial per
formance your Division has established itself firmly in the
list of the Commander-in-Chief's reliable fighting units.
Please extend to your officers and men my appreciation of
their splendid behaviour and my hearty congratulations on
the brilliant record they have made."
VES, that 91st had plenty of "grit, guts and gump-
tion" they had what it takes. They had the
qjalities of courage, stamina and resourcefulness.
which after proper training, makes the average Amer
ican youth the best all-around soldier in the world.
And now the REactivation of the 91st begins, the
boys many of whom were not born when the old 91st
was ploughing through to victory in the Argonne are
nere, or soon will be, and to repeat, we could wish
tl.em nothing better than that the spirit of the 91st
veterans of World War No. 1 gathered for their re
union, be carried on by these youngsters, who in a few
brief weeks now will be called to take over the battle
soarred flags of this famous fighting outfit, and them
selves carry on.
FINALLY let this be said:
We don't believe there is anyone hereabouts who
has closely observed the members of the new 91st
who have already arrived, and particularly the bear
ing and spirit of the commissioned and non-commissioned
officers now on the ground, who have any
doubt WHATEVER that that is precisely what the
91st division of World War No. 2 will do.
No doubt of it.
They will be worthy successors of their predeces
sors, that fighting 91st. that never lacked grit, guts
or gumption and when they once started for a place,
however tough the going, well,
They didn't quit until they GOT there !
Why Just in One?
'THE strike-bound plant of the General Cable Cor-
poration of Bayonne. New Jersey, has been taken
over by the army and navy, and is now being oper

Roosevelt, when approximately 1.000 strikers voted

The wonder to this department is not that Presi

which will extract alumina from

president has hinted the discov

public. In the discussions of the
new formula the mention of
vast deposit of especially rich
Clay near Castle Rock, Wash,
and another in Lane county
Ore., is noted. The process, it is
said can be applied to other
metals, to zinc, tin, lead, nickel
and chrome, where the percent
age is as low as 1V& per cent.
Unless the rumor is plain eye-
iwash. the process will open up
mineral resources in Idaho,
Washington and Oregon which
at present cannot be tapped.
If the northwest is to produce
cargo carrying planes of 70 tons
or zuu tons as promised, all of
these metals, plus plywood, will
be required in great quantities.
