IT'S JUST a can of soup. But
during a long lifetime, the
man who made it found some
way td advertise it. At first,
just a sign over his little soup
kitchen, a few newspaper ads,
a few billboards. But as the
advertising grew, so did the
business.
Now the business employs
thousands of workers, helps to
support tens of thousands of
retail clerks and transporta-
tion men, and gives the house-
wife a better, cheaper soup
than she could prepare at
home.

SDon't Fly Kites

Near ElectricWires


Y6u all know the story of how Benjamin
Franklin discovered electricity by flying a kite
during a lightning storm. He proved, inci-
dentally, that a string may conduct electric-
ity. Here are some don'tt" to remember
when flying your kite:
?.-. -.,- --,- --- --------
1. -Don't fly kites near electric lines.
2. Dont' use wire or tinsel kitestring.,
3. Don't fly a kite with wet string; it con-
ducts electricity almost- as well as wire.
4. If your kite hangs in electric wires, don't
aoiempt to remove it yourself. This is
hazardous and should be done by on
experienced lineman supplied with
proper safeguards.

Our Country Right or Wrong

JAPAN'S AIMS
There can be no question of Japan's inten-
tion to absolutely dominate, if possible, all
of Asia and the East Pacific, and to com-
pletely drive the white races from that vast,
rich, little-developed area. For many years
Japanese foreign and military policy has been
based squarely on the principle of "Asia for
the Asiatics," and her statesmen and war
lords publicly affirm that doctrine -at every
opportunity.
"In addition, from recent indications, in-..
credible as it may seem, Japan also intends
to dominate and rule the world.
Basis for that belief is found in the famous
-or infamous-"Tanaka Memorial." This as-
tonishing document, so the story goes, was
conceived and prepared by Baron Giichi Tan-
aka and handed by hiri tL.: Emrperor Hirolitto
in July, 1927. The' emperor, the story con-
tinues, gave it his sal' of approval and, ever
since it. has been the official guide for Jap-
anese diplomatic, naval and military strategy.
A copy of this memorial, according t' the
accepted story, was stolen by a member ot
the Russian Cheka. When the text of the
memorial was made public, the Japanese gov-
ernment promptly branded it a forgery. But
Leon Trotsky, who was Soviet war commis-
sar at the time of the incident, insisted that
it was absolutely genuine and accurately rep-
resented Japitn's program for world conquest.
The memorial runs to some 10,000 words.
It states that Japan must first conquer Man-
churia, Inner Mongolia and other provinces
-ends which Nippon has .already achieved in
whole or in part. It states further that this
must be followed by seizure and conquest of
the Philippines, Thailand, Malaya, Singapore,
the South Sea Islands and Australia. Every-
one who has followed the news since that
fateful' December 7 of last year, knows what
Japan is doing in that direction.
These Japanes victories, it continues, will
permit the subjugation of India, and once
that is accomplished, the way will be paved
for invasion of Asia Minor and Europe. And,
says the memorial flatly, to achieve these
goals, it will be necessary to crush the United
States, and defeat Great Britain, Russia and
other Pacific and Asiatic powers.
Additional evidence of Japan's intentions
is found in a speech made some time ago by
an .admiral who is now in command of Nip-
ponese naval forces. He said that his ambi-
tion was to invade, conquer and occupy the
Pacific Coast, to drive the defending forces
back toward the Middle West, and so even-
tually dictate the terms of peace to a help-
less president in the White House at Wash-
ington.
The Japanese have obviously placed great
faith in their enemies' indolence, blindness
and pacific ways of thinking. That faith has
already paid them great dividends. They have
built up a highly efficient fifth column or-
ganization, which played a major part in the
Malaya and Singapore disasters. Experts be-'
lieve that a long-established organization ol
that kind exists in this country, and that un-
less it is destroyed we may suffer a disaster
even greater than Pearl Harbor somewhere


within our continental boundaries-probably
on the Pacific Coast, with its great plane fac-
tories, water-power plants, etc.
At any rate, all must have learned by now
the suicidal 'folly of underestimating Japan,
and of believing that we could end a Pacific
war with unqualified victory in a matter o0
weeks or months, as we were long told. The
Jap is a wily, cruel, fatalistic and intelligent
enemy. His weapons and equipment are su-
perbly well suited, from a military stand-
point, to the various.campaigns hehas undei-
taken. He has been checked only by men who
are his match in intelligence and foresighted-
ness-such as General MacArthur. Wherever
he has been opposed by armies headed by
commanders who blindly believed that he
wouldn't dare to attack them, as in Singa-
pore, he has won with relative ease and with
astounding speed.
We know the aims of both the Japanese
and the Germans-now it is up to us to stop
them with an all-out effort or become vas-
sals of one or both of them.

THE WARNING
Most of us have our eyes and our. interest
centered on the war in the Pacific with Japan
but we-should also bear in mind that we are
at war with Germany and Italy.
Adolf Schickelgruber (Hitler) furnished
the world with a blueprint of his plan of
world conquest. He has followed the main
outline of his schedule. For the western
hemisphere he prescribed internal strike,
rather than bombs and bullets.
He made the declaration that he would
"destroy America by setting class against
class, race against race, and creed against
creed. The soil of every country contains the
seeds of this revolution, and they can be
made to sprout by. methods of which the
Nazis have proved themselves to be the mas-
ters."
There is the warning, and it behooves
every resident of Port St. Joe and Gulf
county to check carefully on any wild rumors
they might hear, for chances are they will
find that there is no basis to them and by re-
peating them they would be playing right
into the hands of the Axis powers, whoge
policy it is to have their agents start such
rumors in an effort to demoralize the morale
of our citizens.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER
What will happen to America after the
war is won? How will we meet our rising
government debt, change our economy back
to -a peace-time basis and continue with our
job of making America the best place in the
world in which to live?
Such problems are causing grave concern
in the minds of many Americans at the
present time. In a recent speech, Dr. Robert
G. Sproul, president of the University ol
California, pointed out some facts that should
reassure us on these points.
After the war, he said, "the land and its
resources will still be here; all of the knowl-
edge of mankind from the beginning of his-
tory to the present will still be ours. .
Such adjustments as we may have to make
in our social and economic scheme will not
destroy our democracy as long as we pre-
serve inviolate its central and fundamental
principle of respect for and recognition of
the dignity and worth of the individual."
All wealth springs from the land, and that
concept of the individual has always been
one of the foundations of our freedom-be-
cause of it we are able to work where we
please, save our money or spend it, worship
as we wish and enjoy all our other liberties.
Whatever happens in the months-or years
-to come, we must remember that and let
nothing destroy it.

"Hold on there!" said I to my
daughter last -Saturday morning
when I saw her- getting out the big
yellow crock and the wooden
spoon and the butter .and sugar
prepaartory to making our Sunday
cake. "Perhaps: we'd better have
gingerbread or fruit for dessert in-
stead. You know there's a-shortage
of sugar and we've got to go
mighty easy."
"But we have been going easy,"
she reminded me. "No chocolate
sauce for our ice cream last eve-
ning. No candied, apples, with the
pork the other day, and never any
candy. Besides, they, say we'll be
allowed. 77 pounds, of sugar for
each of us this year, and that's
quite a lot."
"What do you mean 'quite a
lot'?" I asked her. "It's a lot less
than we're used to and. everybody
is warning us to be careful."
"Well, it all depends, on how
you look at it,' my philosophical
daughter, now a junior .in high
school, declared. "If you compare
it with what we used to have here
in the United States, when. the. sky
was the limit, it isn't much. But
when you compare it with what
they ate before the. war. in other
countries, we're still rolling in
sugar."
"Do you happen to know how
much they did eat in these other


countries?" I asked, pinning her
down.
"It's all in my school notebook.
Just wait until I get it." And Tn
another few minutes she, was giv-
ing me chapter and: verse on the
world sugar situation Maybe you'll
be as surprised as I was at the
actital'facts.
It seems that in 1937 and 1938
when things- were still going along
in a fairly normal way, the aver-
age Frenchman ate only 55 pounds
of sugar per year, in spite of all
their wonderful little gateauss"
and fancy chocolate concoctions.
The Russians ate only 29 pounds
per person, and the Poles 28. The
Dutch, whom we've always thought
of as- living very well, ate about
64 pounds of sugar each year. In
Great Britan they had a much
sweeter lime with 109 pounds. per
person, but Australia did even bet-
ter, getting 113 pounds each. But
that was still well below -the
American average.
So, you see, it's all a matter of
comparison. And Americans in war
time, live better than.many Euro-
peans in the days of peace! We've
taken too many of our advantages
for granted and too often over-
looked the fact that our free in-
dustrial system has made us used
to a standard of living undreamed
of in many lands.

Army To Induct

Men By Number

Those Who Registered February
16 Will Be Grouped With
Previous Registrants

'Men in the 20-21 and 37-44 age
groups in Gulf county who regis-
tered last month have been won,
dilring how and when they would
be called. Word from Washington
seems co clarity this point.
The army will continue to induct
men by number, says Secretary of
War Stimson, and does not plan
to order induction of selective
service registrants by age groups.
He said that men who registered
last month in the 20-21 and 37-44
age groups would be grouped with
men previously registered about
June 1, after the lottery next
'Tuesday to determine their order
numbers, a n' d induction orders
would be issued by the local
boards in the ratio of new regis-
trants, to old.
As an example, he stated a
hypothetical case of a local board
asked to supply 100 men for induc-
tion. This board has 100 men left
i-cnm its original list of regis-
trants, and 900 of the new group,
and therefore would draw 90 men
from the new group and 10 men of
the original group to make up its
allotment:
In the group registered last
month it .l estimated that there
are 10 younger men, 20-21 years
old, to four of the older men, of
37 to 44, who would be available
for induction.
"There will be -no 20-year-old
class, 21-year-old class, and so' on,'
said Simpson, "with drafts- made
on the younger ..ctass until It: isr
exhausted and then on t rt0ugh the
iucceding.g classes."

LOCAL TIRE DEALERS ARE
SENDING IN TIRES, TUBES

Tire. dealers of Port St. Joe this
week gathered up all but a few of
their stocks of new tires and tubes
and returned them to the manu-
facturers and warehouses, for re-
distribution.
Every dealer had sufficient pas-
senger car tires and tubes on hand
to supply the demand in Gulf
county for, a year or two under
the present quotas, and by turning
them in they released a consider-
able amount of ready cash that
had been tied up.
The move was not compulsory,
but was made in an effort to give
tire dealers an opportunity to get
their money out of their frozen
stocks.

RATHER PAY RENT that's up to you.
B U T when you are out of a job, or down sick on
your back, I believe you would feel much better with a
Home of your own and WITH PRICES LOW and
TERMS EASY, and WITH MONEY YOU HAVE TO
SPEND ANYWAY, what are you waiting for?


SEE FOREHAND AT ONCE!
After he shows you the plan, if it is not the best chance
you ever had or even ever heard of-just turn it down.

REMEMBER, This Plan Is Offered

for 30 Days Only Starting March 14
