In claiming the award, the oil company advised Governor Hol- land that if their claim is recog- nized they would contribute $2b,- 000 of the amount to the Florida State College for Women and the remaining $25,000 to the Univer- sity of Florida, and will donate an additional $5000 to each institu- tion upon the signing of bonus o1n leases on 40,000 acres in Collier county.

The only way to insure delivery) of Christ-nma mail before Christmas Eve is to allow much. extra time. bct,'.ec mailing and the delivery of Christmas packages. The need to be early-very early-with the mail for men in the service has been ade- quately emphasized and, to a great extent, heeded. There is equal need for early con- signment now of domestic Christmas ma il. Bear in mind that Christmas Day is now orl." two weeks away. -'n--- "-" The war has eliminated one pest-the gad- -et agent who sticks his foot in the door and asists upon a demonstration. GERMANY IS TOTTERING Don't take the above head to mean that we should slack up in our war effort or stop buy- ing bonds, for we shouldn't-in fact we should all redouble our efforts to bring the war to an end sooner. What we are pointing out is that the war in Europe has reached a phase in which it is only a question of time when Germany will collapse. Since the turn of the tide at El Ala- mein and Stalingrad in 1942 and the sequences in Tunisia, Sicily, Italy and Russia, it has been evident that Germany could not win. Now events on the political as well as the military fronts push her inexorably toward final defeat. Her submarines have lost the war at sea; her air force has virtually lost ... the war in the air; her armies, though still powerful, are losing the war on land; her re- maining satellites are going'the way of Italy; .her last hope of splitting the United Nations died on the doorstep of the Moscow confer- 'ence; and now a new word of doom has is- sued from the meeting of Roosevelt, Stalin. and Churchill. r' Some time back the editor of The Star pre- dicted that one of the decisive battles in the fall of Germany would take .place in the vi- "- cinity, of Perugia, on the Italian peninsula, and that a revolution of the people of Ger- rmany would aidn.m leading to her collapse. We .still stick to our guns, and hope the day is _not- far off when-we see our far-fetched state- ln iit; come true. SButthe fall of Germany is but the first .,:step. After that comes what promises to be a' .,.'a battle to the death with Japan. So we must all keep on with our war activities and our bond buying until the Axis powers are wiped off the face of the earth. As we set this we're sitting in the breeze from an electric fan. Consider all those poor dopes up North vwio know not of our Flor- ida climate. July in December, as it were. Keep busy. Flies never light on a boiling pot. When in doubt, consult your wife. t e0 *.1.

"The farmer who doesn't want to run the risk of losing anI- mals and_ birds will keep them out of fields where it is growing or wait until it is plowed under." He also pointed out that the et- fects of the poison in the plant are cumulative in the animal's body, and that animals that have eaten it may die of poisoning sev- eral months after they have been removed from the fields where It is growing. His experiments have indicated that even well-fed ani- mals will eat the plant at times. Leaves, stems, and seed of the plant, green or dry, are poisonous.

PROVIDE ENOUGH ROOM. Every pullet needs 3 to 4 square feet of floor space in the laying house. Make sure, too, , that they have plenty of nests, roosting space and water space. Birds must be comfortable to give top production. 3. WORM IF NECESSARY. You can prevent worm infestation by growing birds on clean range. If birds have worms, treat them when you put .them into the laying house. Use a worm expeller that mixes into the mash to save time and labor. 2. CLEAN LAYING HOUSE. Before you put pullets into the laying house, clean the building thoroughly and spray with a good germ-killing disinfectant. Birds from the range are usually healthy. A clean house will help keep them that way. 4. CULL BIRDS. Practice continuous cull- ing, removing all birds that are sickly, weak, inferior and not up to standard. Don't waste feed on birds that stana no chance. Each non-producing hen wastes 64 pounds of feed a year to keep alive. THE STORE WITH THE CHECKER.- BOARD SIGN ST.
