A. Bates, as publisher of the Plattsniouth Journal, is in re ceipt of a letter from the National Campaign board of the 1943 Victory Book Campaign whose purpose is to supply our armed forces with more and better books. This campaign is sponsored by the American Library Association, the American Red Cross, and the United Service organizations the latter group embracing the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., the National Catholic Community Service, Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army and the Na tional Travelers Aid Association. Official opening day of the 1943 Victory Eook campaign is Tuesday, January 5. Victory Book Day Fri day, March 5th will officially close the campaign. President Roosevelt is expected to make an announce ment from the White House, Gover nors, Mayors and other officials are also expected to participate in the campaign. The collection of books will be carried on in every town of the United States from January 5th to March 5th, 1943. Collection center will be established in the Public Library. We quote from the General Pur poses of this campaign: "A valuable and conveniently packaged projectile of morale is a good book. This book may deal with the war; it may deafwith the peace; it may range from current affairs to history and biography; it may en tertain, inspire, illuminate; it may provide technical information to help a fellow get ahead in the Army or Navy today and in civilian life tomorrow. But most important, it is a book that is not dog-eared or tat tered; it is not scrap. The first function of a book is that it be read. Only books in FIRST CLASS physi cal condition can be used. . .To sum up a good test for any book is this "Any book you really want to keep is a good one to give." Remem ber that "good books are ammuni tion, good ideas are bullets." Materials desired fall into five classes, as follows: 1. Current best sellers, and the more recently published (1930 to date) popular, fiction and popular non fiction. 2. Adventure and westerns, de tective and mystery fiction. 3. Technical books, published since 1935 in the varied fields of Architecture, cfiemistry, drawing, mathematics, mechanical drawing, radio photography, physics, shop mechanics, military science, etc. 4. Humorous books books of jokes, cartoons and group games. 5. Pocket and other small sized editions of popular titles. ALL BOOKS GIVEN MUST BE IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION. The Board is urging due publicity be given this campaign by use of posters, speeches In class rooms and lectures, radio, newspapers and in ev ery way to create interest in the giving of books. Suggested slogans for the cam paign are: Count your books and give books that count. Give more books Give good books. Any good book you really want to keep is a good book to give. Remember the dates January 5th to March 5th. Laughing: Around the World With IRVIN S. COBB A Double Profit By IRVIN S. COBB THERE was a Broadway sport who loved to boast. One day he met an impecunious friend and, for the moment forgetting that the : lattor was a chronic borrowtr, was moved to do a little bragging. "I guess I'm a pretty smart fellow," said the fictionist. "Only yes terday I sold a dog for $10,000." "You don't mean to say that you got ten thousand dollars for a dog?" asked the other. - 7T rs - ' C HOW'S THrYT" "Yep. A rich man took a fancy to the pup and bought him on the spot." His friend eyed him speculatively. "Well, I'm glad to hear it," he said, "because I know now yoa'il do fne a favor- My wife's got to go to the hospital tomorrow for an operation. I'm dead broke and the doctor won't touch her until I put up the dough. Now, you're rich all of a sudden you've got all that money. Let me have a couple of hundred, will you?" For just the fractional part of a minute the romancer was stumped. Then he rallied. "I'd do it in a minute if I could," he explained; "but I can't." "But you just told rce you sold your dog for ten thousand dollars " "Yes, but you 'see that rich man dida't pay me in cash. He gave me two cats at five thousand apiece." Farmers Are Urged To Take Stock Of Their Spring Needs Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Section Announced Loans Avail able Soon Grand Island, Nebraska, January 2 Describing Nebraska farmers as "really soldiers in overalls on the home front," Ernest Frisch, Grand Island, State Supervisor of the Emer gency Crop and Feed Loan Section, announced today that 1943 loans will be available early and urged farmers to immediately take stock of their spring needs. Frisch, whose duties as State Supervisor,- take him into all parts of the State, was lavish in his praise of what Nebraska farmers have ac complished in producing food to help win the war. "Nebraska farmers are cooperat ing 100 per cent," he said. "They have planted and raised garden pro ducts as well as produced the vital ly needed grain and livestock, they have collected scrap metal and rub ber and they are buying war bonds." In 1943, Nebraska farmers will be called upon to "further increase their acreage of certain crops and to produce more beef and pork," he pointed out. He voiced complete con fidence in Nebraska farmers and is urging them to cooperate with the 1943 AAA goals of production. Because of this need to produce more food, the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Section is arranging to make the loans available at an early date. Loans will be made to pro duce seed, feed, fue,l oil machinery repairs and to defray other expenses incidental to producing and harvest ing of crops. The loans are avail able in each county of the State. These loans bear interest at the rate of four per cent per annum. They are not made in competition with local banks and other lending agencies but all farmers who are unable to obtain credit from banks or from production credit associa tions on reasonable terms but who can give a first lien on the crop to be produced or on livestock to be fed are eligible to make application for a loan, Frisch pointed out. Ohio River At Crest Cincinnati, Jan. 4 (UP) The swol len Ohio River reached a crest of 61 feet, nine feet above flood stage, at this Ohio metropolis early today and 10,000 persons in low-lying ar eas were driven from their homes. The damage was not great, how ever, and the residents of flooded areas were more inconvenienced than harmed as ample preparations had been made in advance. A flood crest of 65 feet is rekuired for ap preciable destruction in the Cin cinnati area. Behind the crest, flood water re ceded from various small Ohio and West Virginia communities and the damage was being repaired rapidly. Ahead of it, Ohio and Kentucky towns were completing preparations to hold damage to a minimum. The plant of the American Roll ing Mills at Ashland, Ky., was clos ed by the flood and the plant of the Newport Rolling Mil, at Newport, Ky., expected to close down for a few days when the crest starts back flood waters up the Licking river, an Ohio tributary.

Germans Kill More Czechs New York, Jan. 2 (UP) The Bri tish radio in a broadcast recorded here by CBS, reported today that the Germans have executed seven more Czechs, including a former secretary of Dr. Eduard Benes, President of the Czechslovakian government in ex ile on charges of high treasonable JUST HUMANS "There's a Gentleman at A Gentleman ?

Then turn around and face close to the wall. If your chest touches it, posture is good. If only your head touches, posture is fair. If nothing but the abdomen contacts the wall, posture is bad, or you are grossly overweight. Standing erect with head up, chin in, chest out, and hips flat is only one way to have good pos ture.

The radio also quoted the Vichy radio as announcing that more than twenty persons were arrested at Versailles on unspecified charges four of the arrested were said to have carried out riots disguised as Policemen.
