DECEMBER Do you remember what doing a ago today? You got up in the morning and it was just like any other Sunday—a day for worship, laxation—and you were beginning to think about what you were going to get Mazie and Susie Junior for Christmas. And before that day was over you were at war Today you are probably hoping that Junior's p; ent will,reach him overseas, or perhaps the Japs have crossed Junior off your shopping list You're wondering if the old car is going to last for a few more months, if the tires will hold out you're going to be able to pay the highest income ever next year. And sometimes youre remembering about the happy life you lead before last December Just a year ago, the Japs gave us something to remember—Pearl Harbor. The Japs had made their decision weeks before December 7. On that Sunday morning their planes swept in over Pearl Harbor and scored a treacherous victory-—besmirching the name of Japan with one of the worst blots on the record books of history that could ever be put down against a nation. We found ourselves up against one of the most | ruthless fighting nations the world has ever seen We were not prepared.

The Apache Goes To War (New York Word comes, thanks to The Livestock Reporter of a labor shortage on the Mescalero Apaches’ big ranch (its area is greater than that of Rhode Island) in New Mexico. In the old days this did nol occur | The Apaches were a raiding tribe. It was their prac- tice to go and take what they required. If a warrior fell, there was one I mouth to feed, and by the arithmetic of tribal warfare warrior was needed to take what was required. There could not be unemployment and there could not be labor shortage. But for a generation or so the Apaches have been learning a better ince 1912 they have been running stock on the Sacramento Moun- tain range. They have ‘done well. They have 8000 cattle, 20,000 sheep and goats, 2,000 horses, theirs by the la of man and God. They ride superbly and round up their herds in good old cowboy fashion. But their fighting qualities, though diverted, still exist. Homer Yahanoza, chief of the tribal council, is missing in the Philippines. One-fourth of theii men enlisted without waiting for the draft. Of the fifty herd riders of normal years only 25 remain and more will doubtless go. So now they face problem in getting to market a livestock crop which is estimated to be worth $75000. The bold riders will be fighting for a kind of liberty the white man taught them, and which they have made their own They may fight beside the Maoris of New Zealand, maybe beside the Chinese. It is all one big fight and they are in it. They were in the last war, too, and the special qualities of their service were commented on in dis- patches.

Pauley, the committee’s secretary, the letter read: “Would you be good enough to send me at your earliest opportunity your diagnosis of the events or poli- cies that caused the setback to the Deniocratic Party in the recent elec- tion.” One of the promptest replies came from re-elected Representative Ed- ward Herbert of Louisiana “Prankly speaking,” wrote Herbert, ‘4t strike me that counsel and opinions of the Democratic side in Congress, as to why the horse got olit of the stable, comes at a rather late date. “It seems to me that nvae been much better practice to lock the door before the horse ran away, instead of trying to find out now why the door wasn't locked.” ALBRO R oownm PICTU —————— | combination ' matic powder on the shiny nose of | able—and kept on per: affairs | it would | version for Latin America, and the | to pay $13, one dollar each for the of Klieg lights and |thirteen members on the plane.
