BROWN Member o f Congre*#, Seventh phio District The L«bor Day speech Of the Presi­ dent has been aoeepted by many here a« an,indication of his desire to briny about more mUttpat action by the United States against the Axis Pow­ ers. The address contained one signifi­ cant paragraph worthy o f careful study- It follows: " l know that I speak the conscience and determina­ tion, o f the American people when I say that we shall, do everything in our power to crush Hitler and hif Nazj, forces-*’ That, statement by the President does not sound like “all aid short of war/' Instead it carries an ominous note—for the words—“ I say we shall do everything in bur power to. crush,Hitler and his Nasi forces” certainly would include the sending o f an, expeditionary force to Europe.if the President, believed it advisable to •do so. Careful study of recent Presi­ dential utterances reveals that Mr. Roosevelt is becoming more and more war-like. in bis statements as time goes on. Recent newspaper com m en t in Great Britain, as well as statements by British officials, have caused many Americans to wonder whether or not ' President Roosevelt is backing up his words by actual dOeds. ..The President and many other Americans have been talking a great deal about the aid this country is furnishing the British cause. Word from Britain, however, is-id the effect that nothing like the .amount of war material needed is be- ,ing received. Instead o f giving the public the facts as •to the exact anip$mt of military equipment being - produced each month in the American national defense'production drive, Ad­ ministration spokesmen are- talking about -percentages o f increase in pro­ duction, etc. The,statement that there baa been a "four hundred percent in­ crease in the production' o f certain type gun sounds good until it is learn- ■ big turned out -Where two were ori­ ginally produced—and that there is an actual Peed for. the making pf hun­ dreds, and|eveni thousanda, o f Such - guns' each month. For .instance.there is \much.talk about the number o f American tanks that are being pro­ duced—but actual mass production has , only been reached in connection with light tanks. These light tanks are o f no jp-eat value in real battle, but can only bef used for scouting purposes. The medipmeised-tanks, which weigh 28 to SO tons are the ones that* are really needed. Military experts esti­ mate that forty to fifty thousand of these medium sized tanks must be- ready for use in any attempt to in» •vade the Continent arid to fight Hit­ ler pn European soil. During August only •approximately' fifty o f these tanks were produced in the United States. It now seems that it will be mere*thon,a year before America will prpduce^ anything like a thousand medium tanks each month. Up to the 'present time none o f the large tanks —heavy fallows weighing £Q to 80 tans—have been manufactured here in . tbeUnitad States. Hundreds and thou­ sands o f such heavy tanks1will be necessary to traeh the Axis Armies. DIVORCESUITS Legene Payne Douglas, who claims the whereabouts pf hep husband, Cecil Douglas, arc, unknown, charges ne­ glect and cruelty in her petition and asks restoration to her maiden name of Payne.

The same' condition is true as to airplane production. President Ropse~ veli, in answering, Senator Byrd’s charges of inefficiency in the national defense program, insisted that 1469 plaaes were prSduted in Hie United States during July. However, the President failed .to explain tort most of such* planes were trainer planes, . useful only in trSlmag men to fly,and entirely unfit for fighting purposes. For some time the major effort in plane production has been toward the building Ofheavy bombers. The Presi­ dent has called for the building of five hundred such heavy bombing planes each month. At the present time American production is only around 49 o f the big planes each thirty days, At the present rate of increase in manufacture it will be nearly two pears before 590 heavy bombers per month will be roling off the produc­ tion linss. According to information deceived by this Government, Nasi Germany is producing somewhere be­ tween 200 and 259 heavy bombers per month* So it can be seen that there is « tot. o f work to be done if the United States is to make geod on some of the promisee, statements, and pledges that have been made by high officials as to the furnishing o f imple­ ments of war with which to destroy Hitlerism. , The House o f Representatives Witt (Contomsd m fast page) 1 MARRIAGE LICENSES (Granted)' John LeROy Andrews, Cedarville, R.

Six counties had infestltations running higher than twenty percent of all stalks examined. Plantingwheat on dates recommend* ed sb fly-free is toe only known method pf control. These dates are based upon the average date the Fly deposits its eggs on the wheat plant, Changes in climatic conditions apd variations in altitude affect the time when toe insect lay the eggs. Farm ers have a tendency to seed a little earlier each year.as.long as 'the fly damage is not too great, however, the fly ‘ population builds up gradually SCHOOLNEWS and then .there is a bad loss which causes mast growers to go hack to the ‘.the riirec- ^y-ftee date. - The county agent advises against early seeding o f wheat or winter hay- ley this year because the fly is now prevalent in numbers large enpugh to cause considerable trouble. Rye is not much affected by the fly and can be sown early tor pasture or grain.
