They argue, and with some jus- tification, that the prospects of getting on the bread line has kept | Spain from going over to the Ax- jis and that the smiles we now get , from Portugal come from their two way look at the food situa- j tion on both sides of the fence. se. § In hungry Italy, they contend, | faint heart is a disease caused by !empty stomachs. In a little dif- ferent way, the same thing applies | to: France. In Greece, Holland, | Belgium, Norway and many other |countries, once we have our | bridgeheads food will give birth} overnight to millions of loyal commandos. | That summary doesn’t even | consider the near-starvation of the Russians. If that hunger- | hardened nation falls (and well it jcould), it will be for lack of nour- | ishment—not for lack of courage j and arms. | That, briefly. is how the mili- tary and civilian strategists now !look at the global war picture. | Food has ceased to be a mere hu- | manitarian product. It’s a weap- jon as vital as air-power, man- jpower or control of the seas. o * # | A glance at the meat supply-. | demand is interesting. Discuss- jing the proposed rationing the | other day with a representative of the packing interests, I got this. statement: “The United States’ normal consumption of meat is around 17) billion pounds. Next year we willy produce and market 24 billion pounds, if all goes well—and that} will be three billion pounds less; than the prospe¢tive demand,” | And that doesn’t mean giving more than a subsistence minimum | to any Allied nations or Axis cap- | tive nations which might be re-] leased in the meantime. | Back of all this isn’t any inabil- ity on the part of this country to jfeed itself and its soldiers and} feed them royally. It’s just that at the same time the demand has hit an all-time high, the strategists have realized that food is am- | munition which may knock more | of our enemies out of the war (by | | bringing them over to our side) | ;than any other weapon. | | LIFE FROM LAVA?

IIIT ITI SILO LI IIIOEM: NOTICE | To Business Firms The Fictitious Name Law pas by the 1941 Legislature, sets forth various provisions, such a8 registration with the county clerk, and advertising the personnel of those comprising the business com cern or firm. The law as passed provides: 1. All persons operating unincorporated busi- ness or professions under any name but their own proper or known called names, must register this “fictitious” trade name with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the principal place of bysi- ness is located. 2. A fee of $7.00 is charged for this registra- tion. 3. Furthermore, the names of all persons in- terested, and the extent to which they are interested must be registered as well. for non-compliance denies any un- registered business and those interested in doing such business the right to defend or maintain suit in any court in this state, either as plaintiff or defendant, and it further provides that any person violating this law regarding registration is liable to having an in- formation charging a misdemeanor filed against him by any person aggrieved by the fictitious name, and on conviction of such charge shall be liable to a fine of $25.00 or 60 days in jail, or both. 5. Before registration can be made, such in- tention to register must be advertised at least once a week for four (4) consecutive weeks in a newspaper as defined by law in the county where the registra- tion is made.
