You could starve to death waiting for a cow to give milk. If you're to have milk at all, some clever fellow (or machine) must get on the right side of a cow and extract it. Even after somebody has milked the cow, you haven't got the milk. It's still off to somewhere-and-gone in the back country where the cow lives. The cow, happy with her cud, cares not at all whether the milk gets to your doorstep. But somehow milk for you and the children does get to your doorstep. It gets there fresh. It gets there pure. From cow to customer it goes through a long and involved process but it gets there. It's not belittling the cow i true friend of mankind to five credit where credit is due. he big, intricate end of the job is done by your milkman and the milk distribution in- , dustry behind him. This end of the job requires men and trucks and gasoline and rubber and machinery and most essentially milk. All are hard to get. -Milk is one thing needed in equal degree on the war front and on the home front. Yet you can't get more milk by showing a prior ity to a cow. The milk distribution indus try, nevertheless, has managed to supply you constantly and in surprising quantity. In th clutch, it has very literally delivered. With brains and en terprise it has replaced short ages. When a chap faces the meanest pitcher in the league and that s Hitler to slam one out of the park and win the game, why, we give him a cheer do we not! We litt the roof off the grandstand. That's the kind of cheer we think youi milkman deserves. T I OTMCR fOMl CUT! MKtplYn( ! tttOY.TO-UT MUTI '. ovr 0it voiMiwota rjita Cpl. Frank C.

Hugh Pruett Astronomer, General Extension Division, Univ. of Oreg. Surely the planets have gone a-hiding, for in the skies "of early July only one of these rated as visible to the unaided eye is now at all conspicuous. This is Jupiter, king of the gods, still a royal figure in the early evening western sky. His bright ness still exceeds that of any star-like object in the heavens. The once flaming god of bat tle, the blood-stained Mars, also appears In the west but, because of his greatly increased distance, is only a ghost of his arrogant self of last winter. Mars and Ju piter will be less than one de gree apart the evening of July 4, and through field glasses should present an interesting study In contrasting colors. Mercury and Venus are hope lessly lost in the solar rays, while Saturn is still too near the sun for good observation. But the evening sky gives us a splendid big moon and many bright stars. Let us start our study of the stars in the south and as soon as it is dark. Low in the southern sky An tares, heart of the Scorpion, is a red, throbbing star. Antares is very distant and has over 400 times the diameter of our sun. Somewhat higher white Altair is easily located, while still higher Arcturus is an orange flame at the lower end of a kite like figure. In the west Regulus, part of the Lion, is in a huddle with Mars and Jupiter. High in the northwest the familiar Big Dip per is sliding down the heavens. Cassiopeia, that striking group of five stars making a rather awkward W, is found rather low in the northeast. Very high in the northeast we find Deneb at the top of the Northern Cross. Still higher, nearly due east, Vega shines as the most brilliant star in the eastern half of the sky. Much lower than either Deneb or Vega and a little south of east, bright Altair gleams. On tire first clear, moonless night watch for the Milky Way, THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... - - "The men overseas don't mince any words about the way they want to find this country when they come marching home... do they, Judge?" "They certainly don't. Herb... and they shouldn t. They're doing a masterful job fighting over there to protect our rights and they have good license to expect us to pro tect theirs back here at home. One thing they're mighty clear on is their ttand on prohibition." " Their position on that subject was stated very emphatically in a poll taken recently i J(X la Sky Review that glory of summer nights, ex tending from north to south high across the eastern sky. Barber's Observations One of the most interesting letters received from men in service came from an officer sta tioned in Virginia, rather than from one In the south seas or India or other places where one would think interesting topics were more plentiful. His principal difficulty seems to be a social one. He says in part, "Down here in 'Ole Vir ginny' anyone who is anyone at all is related to General Robert E. Lee. If not, then it's taken for granted you can't be any thing but poor white trash. "Now the only member of my father's family who was at all prominent in the Civil War was U. S. Grant. He was, at one time, received in Richmond; received with formality but not with that old southern hospitality which comes from the heart. So there it is. I'm either a damyankee or I'm a nobody. Caution says to say nothing of Great Uncle Ulys ses and just be 'pore white trash.' Now you're no Dorothy Dix, but what do you think? Shall I re main anonymous and content myself with my lowly lot? It is indeed a problem! Oh, well, Un cle Sam may solve It by sending me somewhere else. "Fort Monroe Is a wonderful spot; very interesting and his toric. The old fort is one of those old rigs with a moat, draw bridges, etc., Just like something out of an old history book. "Right out in the channel In front of our quarters the famous Monitor a nd Mcrrimac battle y 9 l fir : m Olive C5? I l among American service men In England by the British Institute of Public Opinion. When hundreds of men were asked point olank how they would vote on prohibition, 15 of them stated, in unmistakable terms, .hat they would vote aiaimt it. There't no doubt about it. Herb... the men overseas ion't want any action taken on that subject while they're away." "And they're 100 right, JurVe, because I know how 1 felt when I came home after the last war only to learn that we had been over there fighting for so impractical a thing aa Prohibition." Tin 6rlii!i( tjmimtf tf C VI . took place and in one of the casemates President Jeff XJavls was an involuntary guest for sev eral months. Also at one time Ed gar Allen Poe served here as a private of artillery." A letter on a less cheerful note was one from a lad in for eign service. He says there are so many men in his company whose wives have divorced them since they left home they are talking of forming a club. They work at making a joke of their trouble. And make a Joke of it they must if they are to take this added upset in their lives and stay sane. One chap who left home two years ago didn't stay quite sane when notified an at lotment was being made to his newly born daughter. On the spur of the moment, I can't think of any punishment adequately mean to deal out to such wives. But give me time. After that is thought up, we might then go into what should be done to men who weren't strong enough to get Into the war but find they are strong enough to break into the home of a man in service. I feel sick all over when I hear of such in stances. ttfnnxi AluMk titntf. firfufrlu. fa BBm ) T reiii r i f Take the "Are" out of sua barn and oil minor burns f.! with 'Vaseline' Petroleum ll Jelly I It's speed;... safel 2nd Lt.

Beasley, the husband of Barbara Beasley, 317 Howard street, Medford, Ore., is now overseas and has participated in a course designed to bridge the gap between train ing in the states and soldiering in an active theater of war. At one of the air service command stations known as control depots, 2nd Lt. Beasley was carefully processed by classification ex perts who make certain that he was well fitted for the job as signed to him. His next station will be one from which America's fighting planes take off to smash the Nazi war machine.
