Going All Out
Germany is, apparently, at last,
going all out in itsefforts to fulfill
Hitler's promise to blast England in-
to dust. On Saturday and Sunday
last England, and particularly the
city of London, underwent the sev-
erest bomb strafing that any city or
any -country ever experienced, or
that any city or country even believ-
ed could be carried out.
The strafing was indiscriminate.
Women, children, ' hospitals a n d
crowded tenements suffered even ` to
a greater extent than did manufac-
turing plants y munition works, docks
and airdromes.
Hundreds of people were killed,
thousands of others were injured,
while, the material loss will run into
millions of pounds. And the end is
not yet. It is believed that Hitler's
invasion of England is imminent, and
the next few weeks will be anxious
ones for Britain, her Allies and her
friends.
But what of it? Britain has not
been blasted into dust,nor is it like-
ly to be. There will be more slaugh-
ter, more destruction, but the peo-
ple have already lived through
slaughter and destruction—and they
are not 'afraid, only more determin-
ed.
Through it all they still, maintain
the will to suffer and the will to win.
Their navy, their air force and de-
fence force are still intact, in fact,.
stronger than they ever were. Their
airdromes, munition and manufac-
turing plants have scarcely been
touched, ships are loading and un-
loading along docks at every port,
and there has been no curtailment of
supplies of any kind.
As long as those conditions con-
tinue and British military and gov-
ernment officials have expressed ev-
ery confidence that they will, Britain
will never be beaten into the dust,.
however much Mr. Hitler may wish
or work to accomplish it.
There is, however, no' use of beat-
ing about the bush. Britain has al-
ready suffered; and during this
month of September and even later,
will suffer more intensely. But it is,
also well to remember that Germany,
German cities and German -people
have and will suffer in proportion-
ate, if not greater measure,
Getting Anxious
The farmers in. this -district are
getting anxious about the weather.
-And with some cause too. Owing to
continued rain and lack of sunshine,
much" grain that was cut, in some
instances, - weeks ago, is still stand-
ing in the fields.
More heavy rains over the week-
end did not improve matters. In fact
both the grain and the ground are
now so soddenthat it will take days
of sunshine and favorable wind to
dry things to the place where thresh-
ing will be possible.
Of course there are some farmers
who either draw all their grain to
the barn and thresh it there, or stack
it. But in recent years stookothresh-
ing has become a very general prac-
tise. It saves time and labor, and
labor is none too abundant on the
farm these days.
Another reason given for -the ex-
tent of stook threshing this year is
that barns are full of hay, and only
part of the grain could be accom-
modated at best. Some claim, how-
- ever, that that is more of an excuse
that- a reason.
And there may be some truth in
that. There is no doubt but that
stook threshing is progressive, being
both a time and money saver. 'But,
unfortunately, stook threshing, to
be either of ,*.hose things requires •'a
special kind of weather, and that is
not at all the kind, of weather we
have been having for quite some
time.
Still ,worse, it is not the kind of
weather that there seems to . be any
rrosseot of getting •� forsome tinri.e to
emus, and, these things are not les-
si . tliz farmer's anxiety any. The
rtritiai who has followed the old but
• TEE RUM!
sure method and has his grain in the
barn or in the stack, is sitting pret-
ty and with a smile this year, but the
case of the stook farmer is some-
thing else again.

Where Motoring -Is Not A Joy
A subscriber writing to The Ex-
positor from London, England, says:
"In your issue of July 19th, I noted
your editorial on motor travel, and
being a motorist myself, I was much
interested.
"Lam allowed seven gallons each
month, which limits my motoring to ,
approximately one hundred and
forty miles."
And here are the conditions under
which that month's motoring may be
made: "When one leaves- his ear he
must immobilize it in such a way
that it cannot be used. The ignition
key must be removed and the doors
locked or some of the mechanism of
the car removed'. Failure to do so
.may mean the pumping up of a tire,
deflated by the police, and also an-
swering a summons."
And this about night driving:
"Lights on one's car, are restricted
and only parking lights dimmed with
two layers of newspaper can be us-
ed along with one headlight fitted
with a special shield. The speed lim-
it is twenty miles per hour:"
How would you like that, you fel-
low Canadians, who say a lot of bard
things about our roads\ and highways
when your speed_ is forced down be- .
low sixty, night or day, and where
a little pleasure jaunt on week days
or Sundays runs anywhere from two
hundred to four hundred 'miles?
But the Britons do not complain,
so why should we? At least until.
our turn comes, which it assuredly
will,at least in some measure. At
present we can not even conceive
such a thing as the rationing of gas
for motoring, or the rationing of
butter, bacon or anything else on
our menu, but we might, at least,
commence to think about it. _
Just one short year or so ago the
" people of Britain did not know much
about such things either. But they
know all about them now, and a
year. from now the possibility is ,that
we will know something about them
too, at -least about the rationing of
gasoline. And when that day comes,
we hope we will prove as good sol-
diers as the people. of the British
Isles" have proved themselves to be
under similar circumstances.

War Costs Money.
It •takesmoney to run a war. More
money, in fact, than the average in-
tellect could count or even visualize.
Since Great Britain declared war,
just a year .ago, her bill of goods or=
dered from the United States
amounted to two billion dollars, and
purchasing agents who gave this
figure, estimate that another bill of
two billion dollars will be the cost of
the American orders for the coming
year.
These orders include almost ev-
erything from needles to airplanes,
the latter accounting for . a billion,
two hundred million of the first
year's bill. Only part of these air-
planes, however, have yet been man-
ufactured, but just how many is
known only. to Britain, and • she is .
not telling.'
Estimates from other reliable
sources, however, estimate that Bri-
tain is now getting ten new military
planes a day off America assembly
lines. And by --next spring the num-
ber will be seventy a day, or upwards
of two hundred planes a month:.
To pay the cash required by the
United States Neutrality Law for
their purchases, the British have
been sending gold to the' States at
the rate of one hundred million dol-
lars per week. This gold comes fresh
from the mines of South Africa and
Australia, from the bank vaults of
London, but mostly , from. Canada,
where much was either stored before
the war" or landed by . ships after.
Likewise, it takes a staff of men
to transact such a purchasing busi-
ness. At present the British have a
staff of over a thousand, and it is
growingevery day, and most of
these are situated in New York.
' The bulk of this staff are Canadians
or other British subjects, but Many
are Americans, some of whom occu-
py high positions:
It eosts money to run a war all
right.

"CORN ON THE COB"
In order to enjoy corn on the cob
you simply have to forget that there
are other people in the room. It's the
one time when a person has to' be an
indtliiduaiist. Take for instance today'..
I saw Mrs. Phil casually walk over
to the core patch this morning and
then casually disappear in among the
waving, green stalks. From where I
was working the rustle of leaves and
the tearing of tile husks- cold• plainly
be heard as' she inspected them to
see their condition. Presently s'he re-
apnpeared• with her apron tucked up
to make a bulging basket for the ears
of corn-
_I
orn._I was en One for dinner today .
as ,was the hired man,! Corn: is ade-
ceptive thing It gives off no flavor-
some odor in cooking and all that will
reward you in peering into the bub-
bling kettle is a burst 'of, steam in
the face.
No time must be lost 'in transfer-
ring the corn from the pot •to the.
table. The flavor is et its peak' just
as you drain the water from it. There
i.t . . . . stacked in a steaming
pile like a skidway of tiny, golden
yellow, logs. Fingers burn as they
grasp each cob . . and from then
on discretion must be thrown to the
wind. With a jittery left hand you
jounce the ear around while with the
right 'hand you smear the butter on
an•d, sprinkle it with salt . . . and
pepper, if 'Your tastes run in that di-
rection. .
Then gasping at kraly with the
forefingers propped- agrainst the white
centre of the cob you stgrt bookwise
to eat . . '. from left to right. Steam-
ing hot . . . dripping butter .

a stray hard kernel that mei:aages' to

wthat can .compare .with corn on the.
cob? T'here',s• a fresh, free taste about
corn this. way . . . that no canner
has ever been able to really place
inside a tin . . and for that mat-
ter it is the one thing that eludes
the skill of the !housewife. -
Frankly speaking, a person is not
a pretty ipdciure while eating corn on
the cob. The conversation is limited
to a grunting and . grinding process.
Melted butter streams down over a
glistening chin . , . and, if you hap-
pen to be wearing a beard it's a
cinch that the facial adornment will
look sornething like the .sleek hide of
a seal. Now and again a,he steam
heated cobs become too hot . .
slipping from the griasip and leaving
a buttered trail down the vest or ov-
erall bib into the lap. Outside of
these natural handicaps there is lit-
tle to prevent you from.enjoying corn,
I have no sympathy for these peo-
ple who do not put butter on their
corn because they are• afl•aid of the
looks of it. There they sit , . wait-
ing until the corn has been chilled
and then picking it up gently and
nibbling at one' corner like mice at
dried corns cobs in a crib. They mur-
mur something about it being so nice
to eat. corn on the cob, and usually
set the coli down half' finished.
As a boy one of the thrills of a
meal of corn was to see how many
empty cobs would bestacked beside
the plate after the meal. Father
seemed to expend less• effort than
anyone but the stack of ragged cobs
Would- pile' up ie a great mound. We
struggled vainly on the last cob . .
sneaking the -occasional one from
Mother's stack, which never went ov-
er four, and decl'ering finally by' this.
sort of skulldruggery that we had
eaten the most of anyone.
Corn on the cab brings back mem-
ories of Fall nights... . . dewy grass
.and a great blackened kettle over a
flickering fire , . now and again a
furtive squeeze of a fair companion's
hand . , . and everybody waiting
for the corn to be done . . . at the
annual corn roast on the back of Hig-
gin's farm!
I hereby nominate "corn • on the

'delicacy.

military colleagues from the TTnid

Board was in session and the Mayor.
announced curtly and proudly: "I
don't believe there has been any in-
ternational board that got down to
business in lee's time than we did this
afternoon." ..
Porn of a fiery people, Mayor La-
Guardia inherited his zest for speed,
then developed it later as a bombing
plane pilot in the First Greta War:
Since then he has been a swiftly -
geared one-man political machine.
As Mayor of.• New York he has
earned the gratitude of 7,000,000 for
cleaning up the city. At -the same
time he has earned the wrath of
Tamlmanyites whale 'organization fie
smasthed after 16 years of unbroken
rule, and of the Nazis whose Fuehrer
he proposed to include in a World's
Fair "aham.ber of horrors."
.T -.lis interests are widely varied. Re-
cently the attended a meeting of fash-
ion experts. He talked bluntly about
women's clothes, and picked so vig-
orously on the' chapeau of one guest
near 'him that she was forced to re-
move it in self-defence.
"And if you try to bring back the
wasp waist," he concluded, "I'll have
the (health department after you"
A stylist interrupted: "He has some
nerve talking about hats. Look at
the one he wears." The Mayor chides
under a wide -brim $10 Stetson. Most

South Dakota and Arizona, where his
fathereeerved as an army bandmas-
ter. He wanted tp be a jockey, but
musically -minded Papa LaGuardia de-
cided he would learn to play the coro-
net instead..
Fioreilo didn't go in for races or
for symphonies. Ile entered' the di-
plomatic corps as a member of the
American consulate in Budapest. In
1904 he was appointed American con-
sul at Fiume, Italy, his mother's birth-
place.
In those early years,. he learned
something of Italian, German, French,
Slav and Croatian'. To these he add-
ed .Yiddish when be started in New
York city politics.
Restless in 1906 he returned to the
United . States. and studied law at
New York University. Ten years lat-
er he was a deputy attorney general
of New York State. Ambitious, he
looked keenly toward Washington.
It 'didn't Make Jong, and LaGuaiellia
was a Congressman for New York's
east side. In 1917, when the United
States declared war, he volunteered
for' the air force and was sent to
Italy. Ile emerged with a major's
.comxn'ission, a wound stripe and three
medals.
After this first taste of ,politics he
was eager 'for a return engagement
in the election ring. He was chosen
Republican president of the Teni-
m'any-controlled beard of aldermentof
New York. That gave him the op-
portunity to learn plenty of, the vul-
nerable points of the powerful group,
In 1922 he'was swept back into Con-
gress, and. remained there- for the
next' ten, years.
Still foremost in his mind was the
desire for the high swivel -bask chair
