Although the Japanese have had their food rationed since 1940, ex- perts do not believe food shortage is as likely to be a strategic weak- ness as might a shortage of some war materials. Japan raises 80 per cent of her rice, and rice sup- lies fully half of the calorific in- take of the, Japs,. Beans and fish are the other main articles of Jap- i. anese diet. Manchuria supplies 41 to 45 million bushels of soya beans and from soya beans the Japanese people get their proteins and vege, table oils. The war is estimated to have, cut her fish consumption Sby 25 per cent. e The. Japanese are basing their hopes on, the possibility that the Allies wlll grow tired and accept a negotiated peace. Japanese lead- ers have repeatedly predly icted that Japan will drag out the war so long and make the Allies pay so dearly, that the "soft" democracies will be forced into a stalemate. e i TWO LOCAL GIRLS ARE HONORED AT STETSON STwo Port St. Joe girls, freshmen it. t Stetson University, Delant s have been honored by their class in being elected officers in the y freshman girls'.

The game was palyed under the flooodlights. SThe Chipley boys made two touchdowns in the first quarter, and ran -the ball over the goat line for extra point after the sec- ond touchdown. Conversion for point failed on the first. The .Sharks heWd their oppon- ents in the second d n third quar- ters but could not score them- selves. Near the end of the last quar- ter the Chipleyites shoved over a final touchdown against strong op- position on the part of the St. Jo" gridders and made the extra point by running the ball over for a final count of 20 to 0. Several players on the opposing team received minor injuries, but none of the St. Joe players were hurt. The Bristol high six-man team will .meet the Sharks' six-man ag- gregation here this evening under th.e floodlights on Centennial Field. Fans are urged to attend the game and give the local boys full sup- port. ------------ Guests From Syracuse Mrs. Howard Landers has as her guests her husband's mother ana grandmother, Mrs. George Landa- ers and Mrs. John Goon, of Syra- cuse, N.

Under thel new arrange- ments, the work of filling out the withholding receipt; from which the tax is computed; ought to consume no more than five min- ute.s. Fast writers ought to. 'be able fo cut this time in half. A withholding receipt, showing total wages paid and, total income, tax withheld, during the year, is required by law to be furnished by each employer to each of his employes on or before January 31. The form of the withholding re- ceipt has been revised to include the necessary questions and in- structions that will permit most employes to use it:as a return, This form of return, may be used by anyone whose total income In 1944 was less than $5000 in wages and not more than $100 in other* forms, such as dividends and in- terest. A taxpayer using his with- holding receipt for his return will fill it in and mail it to his local collector of internal revenue bY 'Machd 15, 1945,iTh?'yollector will figure his tax, give him credit for the tax already paid, and send him either a bill or a refund for the difference. A special feature of the new form solves the problem of many husbands and wives as to whether to file separate or Joint returns. If the combined income of'a hUs- band and wife permits use of the new. form they may combine their returns on one receipt, and the collector will figure their tax on either their combined or separate incomes, whichever is to their ad- vantage. The tax 'on this form will be figured by the collector from a; table that automatically allows about 10 per cent of the employee's total income for charitable contri- butions, interest, taxes, medical? expenses, etc. Therefore, employee should not list deductions for such expenses on their withholding re- ceipt. However, an employee. whose expenses for these purposes exO ceeded 10 per cent of his total in- come may claim his deductions In detail. The new form is printed in trip- licate. The employer gives the employee the first two copies and sends the third to the office of the collector in that districL The firsa copy, marked "Original," may be filled out by the employee anlT mailed in as his return. The sec- ond copy, marked "'Employee's Copy" or "Duplicate," is to be re- talned by the employee for his owU personal records.

FLORIDA SI I T WHICH IS MOST DANGEROUS? The little steel formula has been broken. The punch-drunk experts are muttering "Here we go again," while the OPA has announced an all-embracing price control program to go into effect after Germany falls, when recon- version commences. Out of this comic opera of men against na- ture, the ordinary citizen, whose activities are already slowed to a crawl in a tangle of regulation, is faced with the appalling pros- pect of having to make the readjustment to peace under the handicap of even more reg- ulation. Instead of getting simpler as the war crisis subsides, the rules are getting in- creasingly complicated. The OPA admits that price ceilings in regard to products which reappear in the market as the result of gradual reconversion, will have to vary from industry to industry, in some cases from company to company. There may be 100 dif- ferent ceiling prices for the same item pro- duced by 100 different firms. According to OPA, the nightmare of regulation is to be continued until "there is no longer any dan- ger of inflationary price increases." With wages on the verge of another up- ward spiral, thus again putting the squeeze on farm producers, manufacturers and retail distributors,, it will probably be a long time before the "danger" of inflation is over. Eventually the people may have to choose be- LIQUOR DEALER GIVES AWAY RUM AT.

Like most people, we have always thought we were of a forgiving nature, and we have often been told that we stick our neck out too far in our efforts to help the underdog, and we honestly do not believe that anyone who knows us would accuse us of being vengeful or at least cruel. However, when we read of how much American food it is going to take to feed the Italians, how we must carry them until they get back on their feet, etc., our temperature begins to rise and we wonder if America is made up of a 'bunch of saps. It is not our fault Italy is in a jam. We did not make her attack Ethopia. It is not our fault she sent her armies into Spain to keep a liberty-seeking people from govern- ing themselves. It is not our fault she stabbed France in the back. It is not our fault she took up with Hitler and got the worst of it. Our soldiers died by the thousands to free her from the Nazi yoke and on top of that we have people here who think we should take care of her the rest of her life, or at least until she gets strong enough to swing a knife at our back as she did France, and even her Fascist chum, the Nazis. Italy is fortunate if we give her back her country after driving the Germans out. She should be satisfied with a chance to work out her own salvation, and without the assistance of a country she tried to destroy. We never heard of Italy feeding the Eth- opians after she conquered them. It is easy to say that it was Il Duce who did that, not the Italian people, but we never heard of oli stumble bum Mussie getting in where there was any fighting, even against savages armed with muzzle loaders and spears. Somebody killed those people and wrecked their coun- try, and Italy never denied it while it was being done. It is fine to help the unfortunate, but we should take care of our friends first.
