A large part of the United States
ia suffering a gasoline famine. Certainly the great planners, Harry
Hopkins and Haroldlckes, must have
known that we were not in possession
of sufficient tankers to supply England and the United States simultaneously. They had ample time to
do something about it. Why was
nothing done about it until there no
longer was time!
Why were Americans made to suffer when s pipe line might have been
laid which would have provided gasoline for Us Snd for England I That
pipe line is going down now. Why
not a year ago! If there is money for
It now why not then.
Harold Ickes has been rowing ever
every question under the sun, insulting decent Americans and butting into
all problems. Why did he net stick

There're different   waye   of  eating
corn:
So yon don't need   to look forlorn
Upon a platter steaming hot,
Of shoe-peg corn, tar sake sa not—
You'll be enjoying it quite well
And perhaps think it rather swell.
Just take an ear and butter nice—
And with a aharo knife cut a slice
The whole length   of   the ear, and
you
May eat it at your leisure too.
The grains are deep snd cloeley sat
You may   think   this the best way

But this   aweet   corn    is   bard to

Lest pan should   take    mora   than
