If your son is willing to fight for you, are you willing to spend a few hours collecting scrap metal for him? Take your collection to your school house and donate it to the school, or if you have a considerable amount, notify a scrap dealer or the County Chairman and it will be picked up at your farm.

EDITORIAL COMMENT News and Views Democrats will hold the first national meeting in Washington City, January 22. The first signs of life in Missouri will be the Jackson Day Dinner in Springfield January 8.

This Thanksgiving is the second day of thanksgiving to be observed in the duration of World War No. 2. Let us hope and pray that before another Thanksgiving Day the World will be at Peace. Should Mr. Roosevelt decide to "not to run for a fourth term next year, then the recent experience of Secretary of State Cordell Hull at the Moscow conference and his clear statement of the conference discussions before a joint assembly of Congress has made Mr.

Hull a prominent figure before the Democratic convention. Let Us Be Thankful for the Many Blessings we are enjoying every day; for the privilege of living in the greatest country in the World; for the administration of the great humanitarian President, Franklin D. Roosevelt. We thank Thee, Our God, for sparing SO many lives of our brave boys in the fighting line of duty, and then we pause to join in the sorrow and sympathy for the brave lads who have met the great sacrifice. To the loved ones of these we say: God bless and Cherish their Memory.

Money is being spent by the thousands and millions, but the United States got in this war after the cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor expecting to win and defeat the treacherous Japs and the brutal Germans; it takes money to win war and this country does not permit dollars to stand in the way of the battling soldiers' success on the home front lines. True, in a war of this magnitude, there will be some funds wasted. It is always that way in the use of public money; it will have to pass through some wasteful hands; the same could be said about state and county monies spent extravagantly; the legislature, the Con Con convention, and the like. It is expensive, but America is out to win this war. God Bless America! Republicans of Missouri seem to have a great deal of trouble with their penitentiary management.

"Boots" Miller, who was a county official in Greene county and was known to have no ability along the line of superintending an institution of this character, yet, being a close friend of Governor Donnell, was given this important appointment. During the recent legislative session Representative Armstrong, fellow Republican and fellow Greene countian, made charges against the management of the penitentiary, accusing the officials of cruelty punishment of inmates of the penitentiary; an investigation was begun but never completed; the Superintendent acknowledged mistreatment and promised to never do it any more. Now the charge is made that the penitentiary had violated the food ration regulations, feeding more, far more than the point allowance to the inmates of the penitentiary, and to the homes of the officials and their convict servants. The Penal Commissioners admit all these charges and the penitentiary officials, (Boots Miller, the high official,) promise that these violations will cease. The Governor has all this before him for investigation, but -Rate.

TO INCOME TAXPAYERS Notice--That State Income tax retarns should be sent to the Assessor of each Township. Some have been returned to the County Clerk and other officers, which is an error. Make returns to your Township Clerk and Assessor. Miss Christine Rutherford, daughter of Mrs. James A.
