ha'ken to the plea we made follow-

was to begin to live like a war
was going on.
Yes, folks. There is a war going
on It i- a big. had war. We are
fighting a powerful enemy. We
are fighting a fanatical, godless,
cruel, ambitious horde of demons
that would stoop to anything to
sati fy an aggressive pasnion. And
up to date, they are out fighting
us.
Perhaps you think that old Pete
is off on another flight of his
imagination. Well, folks, as we
have told you a lot of times, thin
oldster ha at en the sideline-
of three war- And right now,
it certainly looks like w,. were in
for a big, bad war. A war that is
going to take an all-out effort
to win.
Then some one ma\ ay. "What
ran I do?" Well, brother, we have
Ix^-n Hitting supinely by while
good American boy- an being

people and nation- like Cae*ar,
and Napoleon. R«>m> n< d Germany,

do anything to bra;' about in North
Africa You recall that we were
a long ways froT victory until
we went all out for a state of
war upon a big seal- and this
bumble person believe# that what
U' are going to have to do and do
it fast and furious, is for every
American, of all colors, creed;, «nd
i a'«e->. to take a quick jerk upon
the old bell and get in there with
everything we have and pitch a
trame where every man on the
team give - all he has, even hi« life

thrust of a cruel war upon us.
And a we have tried to state
here, there certainly is no pros-

BASTROP WINS
THIRD PLACE IN
AMATEUR CONTEST
COTTON INSECT BASTROP SCHOOL LUNCH-ROOM
MENUS: SEPTEMBER 11-15,18-22
CONTROL TIME
IS HERE
Farmers now is the time to
; figiit next years cotton insects.
! If we will reduce the number of
j boll-weevils that starts the winter
hibernation, then we will still have
a -mailer number of weevils next
spring. The best way to bring
ab iut this reduction is to plow-
up or turn under all of your cotton
stalks just as quick as you pick
the last boll. C btton stalks allow-
ed to remain and produce squares
after being harvested provides
food for the bollweevil and also
help him build up a large popu-
lation of weevils. We can reduce
the number of weevils by 60 to 70
per cent by distruction of the
cotton stalks. Let's plow them up
immediately and reduce the num-
I ber of boll-weevils for another
year.
