FORMS NEEDED FOR BOND ASSIGNMENT Check with the Veterans Admin istration before sending in your terminal leave bond as premium payments on your NSLI is the ad vice to veterans from George La- Fray, director of the VA’s North west insurance service.

More than 10,000 terminal leave bonds from the Northwest veter ans have already been received by the VA to be applied on their G.I. insurance, LaFray said.

State ownership puts us all into the bus iness here in the N. W. whether we like it or not. Of the drinkers who claim they can take it or leave it alone, a vast number go down to the drunk ard’s grave. On the way down we give them rags, poverty, family break-up, crime, the penitentiary and often the state asylum for the insane. GOD’S NOT ASLEEP—God is not setting up the kingdom of hea ven on the earth. That awaits Christs promised coming in power and glory.

J Fight with a B’ar “I only stopped in,” said Thoughtful Bill Haggerty, “to say amen to your switcht from the arguments of today’s foresters to Davy Crockett’s tall tales of a hundred years ago. These here last are not so exasperating, and I expect more is to be made out of writing about them. Did you ever hear how Davy Crockett fought a b’ar making him mad?” The veteran fire warden had taken a rainy day to run into the sawmill town to shop for both solid and liquid nutriments, and he paused now in my boom-pond shack to sample one of the liquid items for vitamins. “Goes down without greasing and stays pleasant, as Davey Crockett used to say,” said Thoughtful Bill, after the sampl ing. He lolled back on my bunk blankets. “Solid comfort,” he said. “Satisfied. To repeat, why worry about the arguments of the foresters?” “The foresters should make up their minds,” said Thoughtful Bill. He fed himself another splash of nutriment. “While they are doing it, you should be telling of such history as how a raccoon paid Davy Crockett a pretty compli ment, how a python hugged him so hard he thought it was Mrs. Crockett, how he made a laughing hyena cry, and by all means how Davy fought a b’ar." Buffalo Hunt “The b’ar was a grizzly,” Thoughtful Bill rambled on, after lighting his pipe. “Davy had been prowling for buffalo on the prairie all day, and no luck until about nightfall, when at a waterhole he found a bull that he figured was a thousand years old, with more When our woods are dangerous ly dry we must play ball with na ture.

Wavy Crockett just stood and looked at the old coot, of course not thinking of him as meat, when the ground shook, the brush threshed, a roar curdled his blood, and then Davy saw the worst monster of a grizzly b’ar throw ing a sidewinder swing at the great-grandpa of all the buffalo, fit to lay his lights and liver open to the atmosphere. “Well, before the blow could land, Davy pumped a rifle ball through the grizzly bar’s ribs and into his heart. Don’t wonder why—you’ll hear in time. The b’ar gave a start, held his lick, turned and began to gnash his teeth as though Davy Crockett had sport.

Sturdevant FRESH spoken plumb out of turn to him The grizzly was so mad that when he took a sidewinder swing at Davy Crockett and Davy, ducked, he clouted himself on his own snout—so hard that the blood poured and the tears streamed. But the mad b’ar tried another swing.” Self Help . “Davy Crockett worked like a lightning streak to pump another rifle ball into the grizzly’s heart. And then the b’ar WAS mad, sure enough! He swung and he swung, and each trip Davy ducked, and each time brother b’ar slugged himself silly. The last swing he knocked himself clean into the waterhole. And Davy Crockett had one of his brightest ideas then. “Into the river after the b’ar jumped Davy, coming down with the barrel of his rifle crosswise on the back of the b’ar’s neck. It was powerful dangerous, but the notion did work. The b’ar clapped both paws in a frenzy on the rifle, one at the muzzle and one on the stock, and pulled down and pulled down—until, of course he drowned himself! “So that was how Davy fought the b’ar,” explained Thoughtful Bill Haggerty. “You see, he knew just exactly how to make a grizzly b’ar so deathly, suicidal mad. It was by shooting rifle balls into the b’ar’s heart. • • Sales and Service By MACKBNZIB ------------------ - r J Don’t be a poor are charged with on fire habits it may loss of a vital part resources.
