bors are adding topsoil, and what
a difference it makes! The lawn
needs feeding, too. After mowing,
apply three pounds 'of lawn ferti-
lizer to every square foot, broad-
casting evenly, and watering in
slowly-just enough to wash the
fertilizer from the blades of grass
down around the roots. Do not al-
low the old leaves of evergreen
trees, which are shedding now, to
remain on the lawn. Destroy any
camphor tree leaves, as their oil
content makes them a poor risk in
a compost pile.
Cut back poinsettias, phlox, sage,
and a number of similar plants. Cut
them back to the gound to make
vigorous plants for division.- Some
'tender shrubs like hibiscus and
plumbago should be reduced in
size, though not drastically pruned.

.flowers for summer and fall.
Get some of the following seed:
Ageratum, alyssum, aster, baby's
'breath, California poppy, carnation,
gaillardia, nasturtium, 'neitophila,
petunia, periwinkle, phlox, pinks,
stock and verbena.

TO THE EDITOR

Cushing, Oklahoma.
Dear Editor Bill and Myrtice:
Enclosed find $2.00 for another
year of The Star. We do enjoy it
very much, especially now that we
are away from St. Joe.
We understand ol' man Winter
has been very kind to the people of
St. Joe this year. We have also had
a rather mild winter, SO FAR, for
Oklahoma. However, we have had
some ice and snow.
We do miss St. Joe very much,
but are doing will in our new busi-
hess, which keeps us quite busy.
By the way, we enjoyed the edi-
torial on "Why the Secrecy?" I
think we all know why.
Will be looking forward to re-
ceiving The Star for another year.
How's fishing?
Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Mize.

Coca, pet of the school children

something about it-much against
Coca's will. Now the zoo attendants
have rigged up a swing suspended

to a 12-inch steel I-beam which is
supported by two A-frames built of

ie Time The Anti-Trust Lawyers



Killed Their Own Case!

For ten years the anti-trust lawyers have been attacking the business methods that
make it possible to give the public the best quality food at the lowest prices.
In our last ad we told you how Federal Judge W. H. Atwell, at Dallas, threw the ant-
trust lawyers and all their inflammatory charges against A&P right out of his court.
But the anti-trust lawyers were not satisfied with decisions against them by three
federal judges.
They still wanted to destroy A&P.


They Appealed to New Orleans
So they appealed Judge Atwell's decision to the three-
judge Circuit Court at New Orleans.
One of the three, Judge Curtis L. Waller, agreed with
Judge Atwell that the case should be dismissed.
The other two members of the Circuit Court, Judge Jo-
seph C. Hutcheson Jr. and Judge Allen Cox, although
saying the case should be tried, agreed that the indict-
ment was vague and contained many' allegations which
were inflammatory.
They decided that Judge Atwell at Dallas should protect
A&P from these inflammatory allegations and could
order the anti-trust lawyers to supply the defendants
with a bill of particulars..
So the case was back in Dallas again.
Judge Atwell, carrying out the decision of the Circuit
Co'-+, struck out the inflammatory matter.
He said that without this inflammatory and prejudicial
matter the Grand Jury might never have returned the
indictment.
Judge Atwell said to the anti-trust lawyers:
"There are many statements in the indictment which
are not at all in violation, and are highly prejudicial
and inflammatory."
The anti-trust lawyers objected. They advanced an amaz-
ing argument. They said that the removal of their in-
flammatory allegations (which all four judges had
agreed did not belong in the indictment) destroyed their
case.
Judge Atwell instructed the anti-trust lawyers to fur-
nish the court with a bill of particulars. In short, he
wanted specific charges instead of vague generalities.
He set the deadline for furnishing this material at
January 15th, 1944.
When the anti-trust lawyers twice asked for more time,
pleading sickness among their staff, Judge Atwell ex-
tended the time to February 25th because he believed
that they were honestly trying, in good faith, to prepare
the material he had requested.
Actually, it developed, they were using the time to get
ready to drop the case in Dallas and start it in another
court.





THE GREAT ATLANTIC &


They Quit in Dallas
On February 26th, while the judge was still waiting for
his answer and without any previous notice to him, the
anti-trust lawyers gave a story to the newspapers in
Washington, announcing that they were dropping the
case in Dallas.
They said that it was their intention "to file a substan-
tially similar suit in an appropriate jurisdiction at an
early date."
The "early date" turned out to be the same day.
As soon as one anti-trust lawyer killed the case in Dal-
las, another anti-trust lawyer filed a new case in Dan-
ville, Illinois. This new case made most of the .same
allegations that had been made and dropped in Dallas;
and that are being made against us today.
So now, to the anti-trust lawyers, all four judges who
had ruled on' the Dallas case were wrong.
Despite defeats in three federal courts in widely sepa-
rated parts of the country, they continued their cam-
paign to destroy A&P.
When Judge Atwell heard of their action he ordered the
anti-trust lawyers to prepare an order for his signature '
dismissing the Dallas case.
Insigning this order he said to the anti-trust lawyers:
"This nolle prosequi does not have the sanction or ap-
proval of this court. That is not necessary nor that
the government ask for the court's approval.
'It is, however, a matter that may be presented to the
other court and may be of interest to the people at
large."
So after their efforts to destroy A&P had failed in Wash-
ington, D. C., Wilson, North Carolina, and Dallas,
Texas, the anti-trust lawyers moved on to Danville, Ill.
They were still determined to destroy this company
which had brought more and better food at lower cost
to millions of American families.

Our Country Right or Wrong

A NEW METHOD TO ELECT PRESIDENTS
For many years there has been agitation to
change, through constitutional amendment, our
method of electing presidents, by abolishing the
electoral college system as it is now constituted
and replacing it with a system based on the pop-
ular vote. It now looks as if this proposal has an
excellent chance of becoming law.
If it does, it -will revolutionize the established
pattern of political campaigning.
Under the existing system, the candidate who
gains a majority in a state gets the entire vote of
the 'state in the electoral college. It doesn't make
any difference how small that majority may be.
He might carry a state by but a single popular
vote-yet he would get the whole electoral vote,
and that's the vote that counts.
The constitutional amendment which is now
pending provides that each candidate's electoral


vote shall be proportionate to his popular vote.
In other words, if a man received 51 per cent of
a state's popular vote he would get that percent-
age of the state's electoral votes instead of all of
it. And if, on the other hand, he got 49 per cent,
he would be given that part of the electoral vote
instead of none.
The influence this would have on campaign
politics is obvious. For instance, the Republicans
never spend much money or exert much effort in
the South. They know that their chance of gain-
ing a majority in any of those states is but one
short step removed from impossible. However,
under the proposed new system. it would be-
hoove the GOP to do its utmost in, say, Florida
no less than in Ohio. Every Republican vote,
even though the total was still modest, would
help their candidate toward the White House.
By the same token, Democrats would no longer
just go through the motions of campaigning in
solidly Republicain states such as Vermont. They
would be out to get the largest proportion of
the vote possible.
Your friend (he ain't ours) President Truman
has said he doubts if the proposed change can
be effected in time to influence the 1952 cam-
paign. However, looking back over constitutional
amendments we find that the amendment re-
pealing prohibition became law about 10 months
after it was submitted to the state, and the pro-
posal abolishing the "lame duck" session of con-
gress made the grade in 11 months. The amend-
ment. legalizing woman's suffrage was approved
in 14 months.

A Port St. Joe woman told us yesterday that
she, really has troubles. Her son is a veteran of
World War II, her husband is a veteran of World
War I, and her father served with Teddy Roose-
velt in the Spanish-American War. "When they

Va., in preparation for participation
in "Operation Portex," joint air-
sea-ground maneuver to be held in
the Caribbean during late February
and early March.
"Portex" is planned to test new
amphibious and airborne techniques

and data concerning the principles
governing a joint operation, and to
indocrinate army, navy, air force
and marine personnel in joint train-
ing of all services for increased ef-

Climax of the operation will be
a combined assault on the island of
Vieques, which lies about six miles
off the coast of Puerto Rico. The is-
land will 1be- defended by an "ag-
gressor" force, one of the latest
wrinkles in adding realism to man-

to explore Florida's rivers are miss-
ing' an unmatched wealth of scenic
wonders and a sportsman's para-
dise, says an article by James H.
East in the Ford Times, a nation-
ally-circulated travel magazine pub-
lished by the Ford Motor Co.
The Sunshine State's "dark, en-
chanting, slow-moving rivers are
highways through the jungles and
waterways to the primitive," says
East. In his four-page feature ar-
ticle, the writer describes briefly
such well-known rivers as the St.
Johns, the Florida, the Suwannee,
the Kissimmee and the Indian, and
others less known like the Shark
and the Caloosahatchee.
"The Florida River," he says, "is
rich, exciting with wildlife, dense
with semi-tropical foliage, and of-
fers more sport for less effort than
any other. It is surprising that more
travelers have not discovered this
and that more boats are not seen
on tourists' cars."
Four paintings in full color illus-
trate the article.
Visit Over Week-end
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Carr and daugh-
ter, Carolyn, of Tuskegee, Ala.,
spent the week-end here with Mrs.
Carr's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. G.
Costin.
