Mwrnt cp iMAtm. MYBTTS. IPJWA IS NO TIME FOR EXTRAVAGANCE! And a run-down, neglected house Is an extravagance that coats you money every month In upkeep. And repair bills don't just add up they mnltlply. In a short time that little leak in the roof means costly interior and perhaps structural repairs.

Neglect of painting eventually means siding replacements. And lack of repairs increases the dally risks from fire and accidents. Next year will you be able to afford several times what those repairs would cost NOW? PHONE OB DROP IN FOR FIILI, DETAILS OF OUR MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN FOR OWNERS RENTERS! IQWfl BUILDERS SUPPLY CD. L.

Some report elsewhere whatever is told them; the meusure of fiction always increases, and each fresh uar ralor adds something to whut he hus Singapore, Dec. 10.

And now we ARE in World War. As I sit here on my veranda the R. F. Is constantly reminding me by its Incessant humming that at any moment the of the Mikado may be upon us. The "alert" sounded about an hour ago, but the "all clear" came shortly afterward.

It is the day of the opening of our conference. Since the first surprise attack came the dawn of the day some of our people were to start from their stations, we could not stop them. But some others were reached, so they knew it was all right for them to stay in their own centers and carry on. Singapore, Dec. 26.

It is amazing how world movements have shaped themselves and with what rapidity conclusions are finally reached. I have myself felt that the Japanese would not strike except as the military party were driven to the saving of face. There was apparently nothing else for them to do. They have built up their war machine over a long period of years and like the Germans simply concluded that they muBt try it out. They have the advantage of long planning for specific attacks and not only of surprise attack but of type of treachery which the world has seldom witnessed.

I flew to the Philippines on October 5th and flew back to Singapore on November 5th. On November 12th Edna and I started on an eighteen day motor car trip through Malaya. I went across to Kuantan on the eastern shore of Pahang which is a remote station. Edna stayed in Serem- han and Kuala Lumpur. We then as far north as Penang and on aur return from Penang left there ust two weeks before the bombing of Malaya began.

We reached Singapore on Nov. 30, after having driven more than two thousand miles thru Malaya. We began our annual conference ession eight days after our arrival, namely December 8th. At 4:15 in the morning the first bombing of Singa lore began. We could hardly believe t.

thinking it was nothing but a practice uir raid alarm. Thirty minutes ifter the bombing 1 went with some friends to the scene of the bombing nd saw what destruction a couple if bombs can do in one centre. There ere two hundred casualties in Singapore on that raid, one-third of thein billed. I am giving you general Information whjch, hus already been in he local You will have newspaper headlines and reports, some of which more serious than the actual facts. Do not be disturbed about us because we are easonably since we have made air raid shelters, with the use of saud- under one Bide of our verandahs.

The only thing, to do is to protect meself against.Hying fragment of a and possible machine gunning. Direct hits are not very proba- ale. I hope that our people in America will appreciate that this present war ust be carried on effectively and that we must keep our poise in such a way that we may cooperate in arranging for both a constructive and a realistic peace. Our pacifists have so tar failed to understand International conditions that they should not feel justified In directing the line of thought in the present day. If there hod been a bit more realism in our outlook there is every reason to believe that the present distress could have been saved.

There is no reason to be uuduly alarmed for we shall, I am confident, within this year that is just ahead find the trend of world affairs so well set that a final settlement will be on the horizon. I am happy to report that Edna and I are both in satisfactory health. She is spending several hgurs each day in a hospital nearby helping in the preparation of bandages and other hospital supplies We are fortunate in the fact that we have a very high grade military leader in General MacArthur, also a very well poised man in Admiral Hart.

FAYETTE CEMETERY ASSOCIATION. Farmers on rolling land should plant on the contour. Contour planting and seeding prevents soil erosion because the rows of corn run at approximate right angles to the slope of the land. Each row acts as a small trough which keep the water from rushing rapidly down the hill carrying away the soil and washing ditches In the field. The many small troughs formed by the contours also hold small quantities of water which would run away under the old up and down the hill system of farming.

The numerous moisture holding troughs in a contoured field conserve a great volume of water that would otherwise be lost to the soil. Many farmers report that contour farming increases com yields from 10 to 15 bushels per acre. Contour farming also saves fuel and machinery expense. Experience lias proven that a farmer plowing on the contour on an eight per cent slope can plow ten percent more land and average a ten per cent saving in fuel. The AAA" allows 16 cents per acre for contour seeding, 20 cents per acre tor contouring intertilled crops, and $1.00 per acre for contour strip cropping.

Establishing contouring lines is not difficult. Any farmer after, a little practice cau lay out his own contour lines. Necessary leveling device can be made from ordinary carpenter's level.

ROGERS. LAWYER Complete Abstracts of Title TO All Real Estate in Fayette County. Abstracts of Title Furnished Farm Loans To Telephone Users-- The following, information has been received by the Fayette County Mutual Telephone Company from the Northwestern Bell Telephone Co. (Bell System) which shows the necessity for an increase in rates on long distance calls effective April 10th. The increasing costs of the past several years have reached a point where, in order to continue to furnish adequate and reliable telephone service, it is imperative that additional revenue be provided promptly.

The revenue increases from growth in the business and from some increases in local service rates have been more than offset by substantially higher wage and material costs and greatly increased taxes and, although we are applying every practicable economy in operations, additional revenues are necessary. The unprecedented increases in service and equipment requirements for residence and business customers, for the defense and military activities, and the protection and safeguarding of the service and property in wartime, all have necessitated more people on the payroll. The dislocations resulting from the present emergency also are adding greatly to the costs of furnishing service. Present indications are that we cannot expect reductions in costs but, on the contrary, there may be further increases. In order to meet the needs of this situation, a general application of a surcharge of fifteen per cent will be made on rates for local telephone service, effective with the next bill, and on charges for long distance calls between points within the state, on and after April 10.

Your cooperation, which has helped so much throughout the years in our efforts to meet your telephone requirements, is greatly appreciated, and it is the purpose of this statement to present the facts regarding our present situation in order that we may continue to merit your confidence..
