One of “them perfessers” in Washington
is starting an investigation .as to why there
is not more wildcat drilling for oil going on.
Brother, that’s simple and no investigation
is necessary. Not enough money per barrel
to make the risk profitable; not enough
skilled Help to guarantee completion, of the
hole; .no satisfaction as to whether they will
be able to get pipe, machinei’y and repairs to
carry projects through to completion without
costly shutdown due to inability to get trif-

A so nobly from Guadalcanal to
Africa has become the symbol of
the gigantic efforts of millions of
American school children in their
War Savings program.
Thousands of public, private and
parochial schools soon will be dis-
playing a certificate of honor from
Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., signifying that
they have paid for at least one jeep
by buying $900 in War Stamps and
Bonds.
Countless others will be flying the
Schools At War banner awarded to
schools with 90 percent pupil par-
ticipation in War Savings.
Ten thousand jeeps and a hun-
dred bombers! This is the new goal
of America's schools as 30,000,000
children continue their Schools At

the Treasury Department and the
U. S. Office of Education.

The latest one to launch a “tin fish” agaist
one of our Allies is Her Hamilton Fish. He
publicly stated that Britain should lose her
Western colonies and nothing should be tak-
en from Germany or Italy. Does this mean
that the Axis partners are to keep what they
stole before the war began? Does it mean
that we are to allow partners in crime do

Itehinc, Pain and Soreness
Humphreys Ointment (Dr. Humphreys’
formula so hi gh ly sue cessf ul for nearly 75
years) brings blessed relief from fiery,
itching, painful piles with the very first
applications. Just see if you can’t walk,
sit down or dance with real comfort.
Humphreys Ointment costs only 50<
and with it comes a special FREE rectal
pipe which enables you to easily get
glorious relief up to those internal
piles, too. It actually spreads a protec-
tive soothing coating over the sore area
and thus helps nature heal faster.
So rarely does Humphreys Ointment
fall to promptly relieve pile torture —
that If it doesn't in your case we urge
you to see your doctor at once. You
may have serious trouble. Get Hum-
phreys Ointment toUay—any drugstore.
terolel Massage with this wonderful-
“counter-irritant” actually brings
fresh warm blood to aching muscles
to help break up painful local con-
gestion. Better than an old-fashioned
mustard plaster! In 3 strengths.
Are the constables to ride in Cadillacs
again? For the last few years it has been
hard to keep the place filled. It was hard for.
an honest man to make a living- with this
office in a peaceful and law-abiding* neigh-
borhood and at times the office went beg*-
ging’. We only had one person run for the
place last summer and he g’ave it up for a
defense job and this precinct does not have

Suffer Distress
At This Time—
If yoii—like sb many women between
the ages of 38 and 52 — find this
period in a woman’s life makes you
restless, nervous, cranky, so tired
and blue atxtimes—perhaps suffer
hot flashes, dizziness and distress of
“irregularities”—
Start at once—try Lydia E. Pink-

best known medicine you can buy
today that is made especially for
women.
Pinkham’s Compound is famous
to help relieve such distress when
due to this female functional dis-
turbance. Thousands upon thou-
sands of women benefited! Also very
beneficial for younger women to
help relieve distress of monthly
functional disturbances. Follow
label directions. Worth trying! *
