The cans were at the tractor, and when the caught thieves said they were going to steal the gas, but since they did not have the gas nothing could be done about it. If they were out steal­ ing gas who could tell but what the gas in their car tank was stolen from someone? If they had been caught stealing shoes, and they had stolen shoes on from another stealing job, it would have been easy to tell they had stolen goods. The last group to be caught was three high school boys from a nearby town. Altho they had not taken any gas they had removed some tools from the tractor. Two of the boys were given 60 days in jail, but the other was turned loose be­ cause he was too young to be put in We jail. had an opportunity to see the equipment the boys had provided themselves for stealing. It was very complete and they had storage space for about 50 gallons. It seems that a farmer must work all day and sit all up night to keep the thieves away from his property.

For example, H. G. Wells is a brilliant writer. I have-read his .history of thEl world thru twice. Much of it is speculative and just as likely to be wrong as right, but as whole the history is delightfully entertaining, and I think instructive. But when he undertakes to give a prescription for the ills of the entire world he is covering a vast territory and assuming a wisdom that is supernatural. He says that the world should be declared bank­ rupt and its debts written down. That the issuance of money should � restrlcted to one central world authority. War should be abolished and all foreign offices, war of­ I diplomatic services, arsenals, dockyards, I fices, navies and air forces scrapped, disbanded or pensioned. The earth should be ruled by a dic­ tatorship, not of this man or that man but of in­ formed and educated common sense. I am wondering whether Mr. Wells really imag­ 'ines that such a program can now or in the fu­ ture be put into operation, or if he is just talking to get his name on the front page.
