things this tractor actually does until you see it per
form. It puts to shame and out-maneuvers old-style
tractors half again as big—brings a new era of prof
itable farming, at surprisingly low cost.

You've Got To See It To Believe It!
When Uncle Sam Gets Through
Oh! there’ll be gaps in the ranks of the Japs
When Uncle Sam gets through!
And perhaps some brand new maps, when Uncle Sam
gets through!
And it’ll be “taps” for the dog-gone Japs
When Uncle Sam gets through!
Oh, there’ll be saps in the land of the Japs,
When Uncle Sam gets through!
No one raps when America scraps, ’til Uncle Sam
gets through!
In the air, on land or sea, CARRY ON to Victory!
And it’ll be taps for the dog-gone Japs, when Uncle
Sam gets through.

needles, drinks a half gallon of
water and swallows eight yards
of thread. He then proceeds to
pull out all 50 needles threaded
with the eight yards of thread.
He does things with those 350
decks of cards, too. According to
Campbell all his cards are stand
ard decks and anyone in the aud
ience is welcome to try to prove
that they are marked or other
wise “fixed.” “I wouldn’t give a
dime for all the trick decks in the
world,” he said.
Mysterious Howard likes to
show his tricks to doctors and
lawyers because they are always
properly amazed and confused.
His hardest audience to play be
fore is ,an audience of 'children.
He says that children have such
inquisitive minds and are so talk
ative during a performance that
they refuse to be fooled. As a
counter-attack against this, Camp
bell has a stock of “sucker tricks”
which he uses to turn the tables on
those who think they have caught
him. One of these is that in which
he lets the sucker select a card and
hide it back in the deck. Pretending
to hunt for the card, the magician
hands the wrong card to the suck
er. Wrong eh? so then he taps the
card (which is face down in the
sucker’s hand) and it changes in
to the card originally picked.
Besides The Mysterious Howard,
tonight’s Kadet Kapers will also
be filled with the usual good fun
and entertainment. Plenty of song
sheets will be available fox all
who attend.

Sugar Rationing May
Be Disguised Blessing;
Consumption Is High
Rationing of cane sugar may
prove to be a blessing in disguise.
Specialists for the A. & M. Ex
tension Service say Americans use
too much sugar for their health.
During the last half century sugar
consumption has jumped from 10
pounds to between 75 and 100
pounds per person per year. The
average consumption in England is
24 pounds. The same is true in
Germany, while the average Jap
anese uses only eight pounds.
