I was made his beneficiary in his insurance policv. But before he went across he made a will that has never come to light and this is causing some trouble among the heirs as he was single. Another brother in service says a duplicate will was made and kept on record somewhere. Could you tell me where this will be kept?— R. A. B.. Houston, Mo. A. Of course we would have no knowledge where the will might be. You might write to the finance offi cer cf his outfit.

Gold Brick For You Do good, be good, talk good and if that is all, you die lost and go out to face the wrath cf God. Your human goodness gold-bricked you into eternal woe. Human goodness cannot wipe out the stain of one least sin. And the wages of sin is eternal separation from God the lover of your soul. (SVilCKEN MEN HOPE TO BREEP AN ALL-WHITE BIRf Money Magician* . . . Take money—as who would n’t? It’s a No. 1 concern with everybody. Our Uncle Sam has a monoply on the manufacture of money, and in this industry we the people are all voting stock holders. But who understands this money business? The ex perts all disagree on the gold standard, on the national debt and on other elements which make up the American money system. These experts are natural sharks with figures. They can pitch and catch statisites all over the place, like jugglers with In dian clubs. In each case, “it’s a gift.” Practice perfects it. Like jugglers and magicians, profes sional! sharks with figures make a fetish cf their trade secrets, keeping them marvelously mys terious. They have built up a g and lodge, in which the most exalted degree carries the title of “Economist.” This lodge also has an army of everyday amateur figure sharks. When one of them starts doing his tricks ar.und me, I always get an itch in my trigger finger. I want some plain facts and simple arithmatic on what I use for money. But I might as well want the moon. Timber Jugglers . . . Paul Bunyan, I’ve heard some where, was able ta juggle logs— in his prime, he could keep seven fir butts tossing in the air at cnee. But he was nothing to the forest economists of our time who juggle the Douglas fir reg ion’s 600 billion board feet of standing sawtimber all over the 25 million acres of the Doug'as fir region, and do tricks with other giant forest fgures that would make a Houdini green with envy. What’s more, most cf this tim ber juggling and magic is done by remote control, in offices and on desks far, far from the woods. Carloads of paper and barrels of ink are used up every week. The figuring is so furious that hardly day goes by but what a fire alarm is rung because cf an adding machine hotbox. The ac cident rate is high. Once a for est economist piled up so much paperwork that when it caved in on him it. took a crew of miners a week to dig him out. Anyhow, that’s what I’ve been hearing. It’s not too unlikely, when you remember that, for the whole country, the paperwork foresters have some 600 million acres of timberland, with figures on all kinds of trees, forest fires, wild life, and so on, to juggle with. arithmetic the average man has to use on his money in relation to his work and living to the su per-mathematics of the exalted economists who juggle money in terms of billions. And the forest problem of a particular section of timber land, a single local op eration, the sawmill its supplies, the marketing of its products, the growing of a new timber crop on the harvested areas of the section, and the protection of the crop from fire—this prob lem in the woods is a long, long way from the Paul Bunyan stuff of the paperwork forest ers, the adding machine timber sharks. JUDGEMENT DAY IS ON THE WAY — Judgement Day when God will bring every work into judgement and every sec et thought. On that day the thief receives the thief’3 reward—the murderer receives the murderer’s reward and the Lar, his. And whosoever was not found in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire—this is the second death. jlflAY the blessings of i VS Cod bo with you, our iGands, and wifh all or us... in our souls and upon our hearths. V.’e can God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Christ has already proved His love. Now give Him your heart and let Him prove His power to Save—Keep and Satisfy. cifer r.j more gracious greciinj this Yulctide.

As the Shadows What’s going to be the end of all this paperwork mystery and statistical magic? Seriously, it's a question to worry about. The thing is becoming the main over-all business of the country, what with the paperwork on ev erything related to the war and reconversion. No one can mistake the signs that the professional economist, the boss figurer, is coming into great power over the lives of all of us. It's a long way from the plain fall on the close of an other year, we desire to express our deep appreciation of your good will and friend ship, and to wish for you during the Christ mas season of 1945 all the better things that life affords. nimbi * * i » * e * t » « r o 1 1 t « miuianci enroiirio* AMERICAN LEGION AMERICAN LEGION AUXILIARY
