Have you a cabin on the beach at Cass City which you would rent to a Flint man early in August? That's the gist of a letter which j A. C. Atwell, secretary of Rotary, J received a few days ago. The in- quirer hoped for an early reply from some Cass City citizen as he had only an A card and couldn.'t spare the gas to make a trip look- ing for a cabin here.

Funeral ser- vice^ were conducted at the resi- dence on West Church street on Sunday afternoon, July 30, by Rev. Melvin R. Vender; pastor of the Presbyterian church. Interment was made in Elkland cemetery. Margaret Morton was born near Belgrave, Ontario, February 9, 1862, the daughter of Alexander and Mary McBurney Morton. Her early years were spent in that community. She received her edu- cation in the local schools and later attended Brantford Young Ladies' college. - She first came to Cass City in 1881 and spent some time in the homes of her sisters, Mrs. John McBurney and Mrs. P. A. Koepf- gen. On June 25, 1890, she was united in marriage to James John- stone Spence at the home of her parents at Belgrave, Ontario. Fol- lowing their marriage, they set- tled on a farm in Novesta township where their two daughters, Jessie and Alison, were born. In Decem- ber, 1899, they purchased a farm, 1% miles west -and Vz mile north of Cass City and lived there until 1926 when they moved to the pres- ent home in town. In 1905 the family enjoyed a trip to Mr. Spence's former home in Scotland, spending the winter months there with relatives and Concluded on page 5. While*most of the foreign labor "brought into Tuscola county for use in the beet fields have now been transferred to other areas, the hoeing and harvesting of crops in Tuscola county seem to be be progressing quite satisfactorily. Through the cooperation of the Michigan Sugar Co. and the Clark Canning Co., Mexican Nationals and Jamaicans were sublet to farmers for work in these crops. Farmers have been willing to pay adequate wages which have been in the neighborhood of five dollars a day. The high prices be- ing paid for farm produce com- bined with the realization on the part of the farmer that labor is entitled to a living wage, has helped to keep a supply of labor in the county. Most of the 335 Texas Mexicans who were brought to the county for working beets have re- mained and are now being used by farmers in the beans, pickles, and grain harvest. A few Mexican Nationals and Jamaicans are be- ing retained until fall. During the month of July, 632 placements were made on the farms through the Emergency Farm Labor department of the county agricultural office, and the (local labor centers established in jeach of the villages of Tuscola county. It is hoped that both workers and farmers will have more extensive use of the service available at these centers during the coming months.

A Brown City Chamber) of Commerce man wanted to know the cost of the pool here and other information regarding it.

And it is just this way that serious accidents have occurred in the past. Both children and adults have received injuries and bad burns by coming in contact with high line wires. Farmers threshing grain are urged to locate straw stacks in safe locations. The safest method to follow is to pile your straw stacks well, out of reach of all wires. Then it is unlikely that someone will unthinkingly reach out and touch the wires or strike the wires with a metal rod Or throw a metal or wet string over the wires, thereby endangering his life and safety. Another thing to remember is that metal machines of all kinds should be kept out of contact with high line wires. There have been times when a boom or an unloader came in contact with high voltage wires with unpleasant results. Pvt. George A. Laslo. with his parents to Michigan at the age of ten years. On July 2, 1938, he was united in marriage to Miss Helen Frederick of Cass City. Their married life has been spent in this community except four years when he was employed in Detroit and Pontiac. Nov. 18, 1943, he left here for Fort Sheri- dan, from where he was sent to Camp Blanding, Florida. After_^17 weeks of training there, he came home on furlough. On Easter Sun- day he left here for Maryland and later was sent to New York from which place he went overseas to England. ; The son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Laslo of Bad Axe, he was one of a family of 14 children.

Hitler Had Eye on Riches of Palestine, Said Rotary Speaker Hitler's march into North Africa had for its ultimate object the capture of Palestine which holds untold riches in potash and two other chemical^ in the Dead Sea and a wealth , of oil in its soil. Such was the opinion expressed by Rev. Arnold Olson, pastor of the Baptist church, in an address at the Rotary luncheon Tuesday. Mr. Olson called attention to the unity of Bible writers and said the Book of Books pictures accurately the past and present and contains hymns, songs, biographies, botany and other sciences, poetry, and many other subjects, even to that of medicine. The Bible and Christ can fit every need of man, he said. Rev. Mr. Olson was presented by G. A. Tindale, program .chair- man. Miss Dolly Karr and Miss Sally Jackson, representing the high school group who are promoting a recreation center on the upper floor of the Leonard Damm building, were present and Miss Karr told Rotarians of the plans for the center. She said that the program j would include ping pong, shuffle board and dancing under the di- rection of chaperons. The center would be open two evenings a week—Wednesday until eleven o'clock and Saturday until mid- night. Rotary club guests were Lt. , treasurer. M> A secretary .

So far there have been no outside social attractions to occupy us and we automatically have a longer working day so the extra time we put on our work each day keeps- us well up to schedule. A second agreeable surprise is that we are still eating well. The food is probably as good as can be had in the world today. Even if we are temporarily on cold rations, we don't suffer for the new packages give variety and a balanced menu. Mail and pay come on schedule, but as there is little use for money now, no one particularly cares about the latter. Our smokes, and candy—when and if—are now free. "About our biggest discomfort is the rain and the mud. However, the rain is not the cold rain of England but the warm rain which is better. The mud is just plain mud and lots of it. As yet I have not slipped in it, but many others have not been so lucky.

The horses, donkeys and cattle here are nice fat-looking animals. It is funny to see dogs who pay no attention to our Eng- lish calls but "will come when we use our poor French."

A few MexicanNationals and Jamaicans are be-ing retained until fall.
During the month of July, 632placements were made on thefarms through the EmergencyFarm Labor department of thecounty agricultural office, and the(local labor centers established injeach of the villages of Tuscolacounty.

Keep Straw StacksAway from Wires,Farmers Are Advised
A youngster surveying thecountryside from the top of astraw stack may feel that he is"sitting on top of the world"—especially if he can reach up andtouch the wires running betweentwo power line poles. And it isjust this way that serious accidentshave occurred in the past. Bothchildren and adults have receivedinjuries and bad burns by comingin contact with high line wires.
Farmers threshing grain areurged to locate straw stacks insafe locations. The safest methodto follow is to pile your strawstacks well, out of reach of allwires. Then it is unlikely thatsomeone will unthinkingly reachout and touch the wires or strikethe wires with a metal rod Orthrow a metal or wet string overthe wires, thereby endangering hislife and safety.
Another thing to remember isthat metal machines of all kindsshould be kept out of contact withhigh line wires. There have beentimes when a boom or an unloadercame in contact with high voltagewires with unpleasant results.

T-3 Horace V. Pinney writes hismother, Mrs. Edward Pinney, fromFrance as follows:
"Contrary to my expectations,we are not having special difficultyin getting our work done over here.So far there have been no outsidesocial attractions to occupy us andwe automatically have a longerworking day so the extra time weput on our work each day keeps-us well up to schedule. A secondagreeable surprise is that we arestill eating well. The food isprobably as good as can be had inthe world today. Even if we aretemporarily on cold rations, wedon't suffer for the new packagesgive variety and a balanced menu.Mail and pay come on schedule,but as there is little use for moneynow, no one particularly caresabout the latter. Our smokes, andcandy—when and if—are now free.
"About our biggest discomfortis the rain and the mud. However,the rain is not the cold rain ofEngland but the warm rain whichis better. The mud is just plainmud and lots of it. As yet I havenot slipped in it, but many othershave not been so lucky.
"Around here the natives havethree modes of transportation—walking, bicycles and small two-wheeled carts pulled by horses ordonkeys. The horses, donkeys andcattle here are nice fat-lookinganimals. It is funny to see dogswho pay no attention to our Eng-lish calls but "will come when weuse our poor French."

,, Dogs of WarSeveral different breeds of dogs
have been enlisted by their ownersin the marine corps dog section, butthe majority found best suited tomilitary training and field work areeither Doberman Pinschers or Ger-man shepherds, between one andfive years old. The dog "boot camp"was started at Camp Lejeune, NewRiver, N. C., in January of 1943.
YOUR blouse is decidedly thebetter half of your costume
this year, either as a showpieceto add zest to your suit or tomake a simple skirt dramatic.The collections now available inthe stores include many styles ver-satile enough to team perfectly byday with the tailored suit and stilllook important after five o'clockwith dressy clothes.
Because adaptability is so impor-tant in limited wartime wardrobes,white is predominant in the solidcolor range. Geometric and floralprints on white backgrounds arealso voguish this season. The snowywhiteness of rayon fabrics, which ispermanent no matter how fre-quently a garment is cleaned ortubbed, wins high regard for theseweaves, as they can be dependedupon to retain their original fresh-ness.
For the frilly types, fine rayoncrepe in glistening 'white fashionssoft "portrait" blouses with flatter-ing throat-framing ruffles, also frillyjabots or lace and eyelet embroideryrun through with contrasting velvetribbons at neckline and wrists.Firm-bodied white rayon crepes andshanturigs are precision tailored instyles featuring round necklines withself-fabric bows, tucked or box-pleated fronts, simulated pearl but-ton closings and pert Johnny collarswith dark ribbon tied in a soft knotat the* throat. Most of these blouseshave long button-at-the-cuff sleevesso that they; retain their tailored de-tail when worn without a suit jacket,or with slacks or a jumper.
Transparent or semi-opaque ray-ons such as crisp marquisettes, self-patterned sheers and lace and mostespecially a new-type snowy whitesheer rayon jersey are all favoritesin dressy white blouses. Frothy con-fections of dainty rayon marquisettewith crispy fillips such as ruffles,jabots and frills lend fragile artificeto lovely feminine fancies, whicihserve as marvelous scene-changersfor your suits, or with long or short
separate skirts for informal eveningwear.
There's appeal of the picturesquein the charming blouse picturedto the- left in the illustration. Thismost lovely blouse is made of avery choice pure white sheer rayonjersey. It's youthful low round neck-line and soft shirred bodice fullnessare fetching details. The long widesleeves gathered on a narrow wrist-band fall with exquisite grace intosoft sculptured folds.'There is a wide selection of
blouses in color and prints plannedfor the warm weather season, whenspring suits will be laid aside forlightweight cardigan or bolero cos-tumes, which are so smart thisseason, made of rayon shantung orhandsome rayon faille. The call forcheck or plaid or stripe taffeta isboundless for both blouses and forthe extremely modish weskit types.Dashing crisp rayon taffeta in blackand white check is used for the.blouse - centered in the group. Not-able is the ultimate chic with whichthis blouse is styled. The flatteringneck and shoulder line is proofthat nothing equals a cunning rufflenow and then.

It Is the CO! SENSE RULEof all other enterprises, that the producer must havea profit, based on a cost-plus profit, and a profit andcost plus the cost of necessary labor.

Whether we deal in beef or hogs, sheep orchickens, dairy products or vegetables, grains or cot-ton, there must be a floor under farm prices at a levelnot less than our average cost of production plus areasonable return for our labor.
Only thus may be had reasonable compensa-tion for our job of feeding and clothing the--nation.

Red Mites InvadingMany Prize Orchards
Proper Spraying WillAid in Control Work
Fruit orchards are being attackedby an invader as deadly as anykiller insect that ever flew orcrawled. The common name for thepest in the east is the red mite.
The great danger in the case ofred mite is that because it is a new-comer to many sections, the greatmajority of growers do not recog-nize it when evidences of its pres-ence appear on their trees. Stateentomologists have- many instancesin their records where the growerwas utterly dumfounded when in-formed his trees were being at-tacked by red mites.
This is probably true becausedamage is not immediately appar-ent. Since the red mite attacks thefruit itself, first indications of thedamage appear on the leaves,which turn brown. By midsummer,the infestation has built up to thepoint where the whole tree has abronze-like appearance . Oncebrown, the leaves, which are very
Fruit trees must be protected asnever before. The red mites prom-ise to do considerable damage infruit orchards unless constant watchis kept and power spraying resortedto as needed.
essential in growing a healthy fruitcrop, remain that way for the re-mainder of the season, resulting inundersized, poor quality fruit.
The red mite is present in theegg stage during the winter,hatching about the time growthstarts. There are several genera-tions during the summer, popula-tions per leaf usually running from50 to 100 mites, although they havebeen observed as high as 500 perleaf. The grower, who, upon exami-nation, finds only a few mites onhis foliage, should not feel secure,for the red mite has truly amazingreproductive powers. Even thoughonly two mites are present, theymay be responsible for an increaseinto the many thousands in as littleas 78 hours.
There are effective, tested con-trols for red mite. Here is whatRay Hutson, well-known state en-tomologist, has to say on the sub-ject:
"Meeting the red mite problem inthe apple orchard is a proposition,of picking out things that will dothe most good, for various con-ditions have a tendency towardworking against one another. Cer-tain varieties (e. g. Delicious andBaldwin) are more susceptible. A 3per cent dormant oil kills all redmite eggs that are hit. Two appli-cations a week apart of a 1 per centsummer oil and foliage applicationsare effective.
Potato Digging MachineProves Very Successful
A labor saving attachment thatcan be adapted to any power take-off potato digger has been de-veloped by the rural engineering de-partment at the Montana agricul-tural experiment station.
With the attachment the potatoesare dug, rocks and clods sorted out,and the tubers sacked and set offon the ground while the machine isin continual operation. After fieldtests, F. M. Harrington, head of thehorticultural department at the sta-tion, estimates that the pickingmachine with a five-man crewdo.es as much work as an 11-mancrew picking by hand.
The station's potato digger wasaltered to raise the elevator apronand deliver the tubers onto a sort-ing conveyor instead of droppingthem on the ground. As the potatoestravel along the conveyor, clodsand rocks are removed.
Potatoes in FeedPotato drying plants that have
been handling low-grade potatoespurchased by the government forthe past several months are still inoperation, another government re-port says. Some of these dried po-tatoes are being used in livestockfeeds, according to W. T. Grams ofthe New York State Agricultural Ad-justment administration office. Asthey contain about 8 per cent pro-tein, little fiber, and much carbohy-drate, they have real feed value.

Manure HandlingAlternative labor-saving methods
in handling of manure are: (1) haul-ing daily to avoid the double han-dling of piling it in the yard andreloading and (2) allowing the ma-nure to accumulate under the ani-mals in concrete-floor feeding shedsduring the winter and hauling all ofit at the same time. Little loss ofplant food results as long as theanimals keep the manure trampled'and packed, but loss of nitrogenwill occur unless it's hauled andspread in cool damp weather andthe/ material is plowed under ordisked as soon as possible.
Green CabbageThere's almost no end to the deli-
cious ways of serving green cab-bage, alone or' in combination. Coolcrisp cole slaw; hot savory slaw,cabbage boiled in meat broth,chopped cabbage quick cooked inmilk, and cabbage boiled in quar-ters.

Glamour TouchesEnliven Old Clothes
•Frills and Embroidery Will: Brighten Garments.
| By CHERIE NICHOLASI This is a season when opportunity[knocks at the door of the girl witha limited clothes budget. There are
[so many little simple glamour1 touches that can be added to clothesj one has on hand that will bringthem up to date. Following are afew suggestions along this line.
! Perhaps you have a modest littleishirtwaist dress or coat dress thati buttons down the front. You feelI you just must get the wear out oflit and yet you have a wistful think-• ing that there should be somethingi done, to ft to give a new-this-seasonjlook. A little frill of .eyelet embroi-idery basted down the front opening'from neckline to hemline will "doi the trick." Repeat the little eyelet; ruffling about the sleeves. The sameftreatment applies to a jacket. It's: smart to outline edges with lingerie; ruffling.
Then there's the problem of thatnavy or black one-piece crepe dress.It needs a dash of color to liven itup and to give it a dressy look for
j informal afternoon wear. Why notapplique a floral cutout on thebodice top and on the skirt. Youcan cut these motifs out of printmaterial yourself, but the easiestway is to buy packaged cutoutsthat come with complete directionsfor appliqueing.
Taking further inventory ofclothes hid away in your wardrobe,you come across a red wool dresswith sleeves somewhat worse forwear, or maybe the dress is navyor brown or green. The thrifty thingto do is to convert this dress into| a jumper frock by doing away with:the sleeves entirely, and cutting theneckline down to a new low so thatit can be worn with various blouses.
Your navy or tweed separateskirt; add hand-embroidered sus-penders to it or crochet suspendersembroidering them with flowers inpeasant colorings.
Your good-as-new white rayonsheer blouse, which you have car-ried over from last summer, howabout it? The latest fashion newsis handpainting done on sheerblouses. Here's your cue! It doesn'ttake much skill in painting and ifyou can't draw, get a stamped em-broidery pattern of roses or what-ever design you like most. Stampthis on your blouse lightly, just'enough to get the outline, and color<it up to suit your fancy.

County 4-H JudgingAttended by 'Sixty
Ten 4-H clubs were representedat the county livestock judging dayheld Monday, July 24, with sixtyboys and girls participating. Prin-ciples of livestock judging in varirous classes of swine, sheep, beefand dairy animals were explainedby Verne Freeman, assistant state4-H club leader, who assisted localleaders in planning the day.
Top judging honors for the day,based upon" participation in all fourclasses of livestock, were earnedby Loren Brady, Don Dickson, Al-vin Bauer, Ronald Hampshire,Jack Hobson, Jack Desimpelore,Charles Seddon, Don Schafer, Nor-ine Horst, Jo Ann Miller, AddieBenson and Paul Findlay. Finalselection for county judging teamswill be made at the county fair inAugust.
The group, under the directionof Norris W. Wilber, county agri-cultural agent, and Claude M. El-more, 4-H club agent, visited thecounty farm for swine judging;John Hickey & Son farm for beefcattle judging; Reid Kirk's farmfor sheep judging; and VerneVandemark's for dairy cattle judg-ing.

Eight-Year-Old BoyIs Tractor Driver
A 13-year-old boy was seen oper-ting,a tractor on his father's farmin Greene county. It was his fifthgeason as a tractor operator, whichmeans he began at the tender ageoj: eight, according to T. L. Davis,University of Illinois.
The farm consists of about 160acres. The boy's .father has beena tenant on. it for many years.Father and son comprise the man-power. Mother and two sistersdo their part. The boy takes greatpride in his work, and when schoolis in session he even gets in a fewlicks mornings and evenings. Thesummer vacation gives him a greatopportunity for his favorite occupa-tion.
It is not unusual to see womendoing farm work in this county, thefarm wives doing a turn. A recentsurvey showed about 75 of them inthe fields. Fifty boys and girls werealso doing field work, many of theboys being less than 12 years old.

Green Light forPrivate Forestry
Shortage of ForestryProducts Is Serious
Recent actions by congress great-ly encourage timberland owners,foresters and the lumbermen wholong have been-supporting a nation-al program of private forestry, W.DuB. Brooklings of the Chamber ofCommerce of the United Statespoints out.
Private forestry means the grow-ing of trees as a commercial enter-prise, rather than landscaping or theplanting of ornamental trees. Thehazards of the business, such asfires, insects, tree diseases and themany years before trees mature,are so obvious that there are somewho say that the government ought toown the forests. As an alternativeto outright government ownership,they advocate complete federal con-trol of forest practices coveringgrowing and cutting on all privatelyowned timberlands.
Either of these alternatives wouldbe a serious matter for the cause ofprivate enterprise. «It would take anenormous area out of the free, com-petitive field. The forest areas ofthe United States actually exceedthe tilled farm lands. In number ofemployees and investments, forestproduct enterprises rank fifth amongAmerican industries.
By the recent passage of a meas-ure authorizing greatly increasedfunds for fire prevention, congresshas gone a long way toward remov-ing what is recognized as the great-est deterrent to the progress of pri-vate forestry—fire.
A basic principle of this new fireprotection legislation is equal con-tributions by the federal governmenton the one hand and by the statesand private owners on the other. Thelate Senator McNary of Oregon wasinstrumental in enactment of a lawbased on that principle 20 yearsago, but there were inadequate fundsto make it effective. It is to be re-gretted that the senator did not liveto see the passage of his recent billfor greatly increased funds.
Farmers will need more than sixbillion board feet of lumber in 1944,but they'll have to take action them-selves if the critical overall lumberand pulpwood shortage is to be met.
War Food Administrator MarvinJones has announced that if produc-tion and distribution of farm cropsare to supply essential needs thisyear, American farmers will becalled upon for two lines of proce-dure: First, increasing lumber pro-duction from farm woodlands duringthe winter,, and second, providinglabor for forest industries duringthe slack winter season on farms.

Substitute ProvidedFor Steamed Bonemeal
Because of the shortage of bone-meal as a source of phosphorus inpoultry rations, tests conducted atthe Texas agricultural experimentstation are of particular interest topoultry raisers.
The non-variable portion of eachration was made up of the usualproportions. Each ration containedan estimated 18 per cent protein,and a calcium-phosphorus ratio of1.6:1.
The results show clearly that theaverage gains and feed required toproduce a unit of gain were almostalike in each of the paired lots.
By comparison of the gains, feedefficiency arid mortality, it is indi-cated "that the use of twice theamount of defiuorinated superphos-phate actually needed to furnish anoptimum of phosphorus in the ra-tion will produce no ill effect andwill not hinder feed utilization.
It was concluded, Jhat in broilerration steamed bonemeal can besatisfactorily replaced by defiuori-nated superphosphate of the qualityused in this trial. The presence orlack of an animal protein did notinfluence the comparative efficiencyof the steamed bonemeal and thedefluorinated superphosphate.

Tomato HarvestWith the tomato harvest already,,
under way in some states, growers"will do well to follow picking andpacking practices that reduce skinbreaks and resulting decay in toma-toes, says the War Food administra-tion. These practices include pick-ing tomatoes when they are"mature-green," avoiding harvest-ing during wet weather, if possible,and using crates with the smoothside of the slats on the inside. Im-mature tomatoes have been foundmore susceptible to skin breaks thanthose picked "mature-green."

EUROPE:Tough Going
Following up earth-shaking aerialand artillery bombardments, Alliedforces nudged ahead on both endsof the Normandy front in the face ofcontinuing bitter enemy resistance.
On the American end of the front,Doughboys inched ahead only afterclearing the enemy from behind therolling countryside's thick, highhedgerows', which he used as a cov-er for sending up heavy mortar andmachine gun fire. Although the Al-lied command used thousands of big,medium and fighter bombers to blastopen a path, the U. S. infantry stillhad to root the enemy from his deepentrenchments to gain ground.
On the British front, Gen. Ber-nard L.Montgomery's forces sluggedahead against increasing concentra-tions of enemy strength, with Ger-man Marshal Erwin Rommel usingheavy artillery and tanks to backup individual strong points in hisdefense line.
Tighten GripWith the Nazi party attempting
to strengthen its grip on the army-through the placement of sympa-thetic officers in key positions, andwith the important elements of op-position driven to cover. Adolf Hit-ler held his sway over Germany fol-lowing the bomb attempt on his lifeat headquarters.
Weathering the officers* revolt,Hitler called upon Marshal Her-mann Goer ing and Propaganda Min-ister Paul Goebbels to totally mo-
Stauffenberg (left) and Hitler.
Irilize Germany and occupied coun-tries for a fight to the finish by ob-taining additional manpower and in-dustrial capacity by skimming pub-lic services and less important oc-cupations.
Reportedly executed were* Col.-Gen. Ludwig Beck, former chief oistaff, and Col. Glaus von Stauffen-b^rg, who planted the bomb, bothkey figures in the officers' plot tooverthrow Hitler and dicker for acompromise peace with the Allies inopposition to the Nazis' fanaticalavowal to fight to the last man.
Switch AttackWith German lines stiffening in
the north, the powerful Red armyswitched its sledgehammer attacksto the central sector of the 800-milefront, tearing large holes in Nazidefenses on the Polish plains.
In Italy, Allied troops came un-der fire of heavy concentrations ofGerman artillery situated on the ap-proaches to the enemy's celebrated"Gothic line-," first of the^ elaboratefortification systems he has set upto impede the Fifth and Eighth ar-mies' steady advance up the Italianpeninsula to the bustling industrialand agricultural region of the north.With Polish troops bearing thebrunt of the attack on the easternend of the front, U. S. and Britishforces concentrated on the tougherwestern sector.
Although enemy lines stiffened inthe north, they buckled in the cen-ter, where Nazi armies were com-pelled to fall back toward the oldPolish capital of Warsaw and Ger-man Silesia to avoid being encir-cled from the rear and wiped outcompletely.
U.S. LAND:Disposal Policy
Government disposal of surplusland acquired in connection with thewar program but no longer neededwill be directed toward sale of prop-erty in family-sized tracts for indi-vidual cultivation, the surplus warproperty agency announced.
With all property to be appraisedby experienced and disinterestedmen drawn from the community,SWP said, the policy will be to sellas quickly as possible at currentvalues without disruption of themarket; give former owners oppor-tunity to repurchase, amd avoid salesto speculators.
The Reconstruction Finance cor-poration will handle the disposalprogram, WSP said, despite the Na-tional Farmer Union's opposition onthe grounds that RFC supervisionwould lead to control by the NationalAssociation of Real Estate Boards.
PACIFIC:Fanatical Foe
Supported by the booming guns ofthe U. S. fleet and swarms of battle-planes rising from the decks of theaircraft carriers, American troopstightened their hold on Guam andTinian islands in the Mariana group,about 1,500 miles from the Japanesehomeland.
As the U. S. steamroller rumbledcloser to Japan, an enemy navalspokesman declared that the boastedNipponese fleet would come out tofight only after U. S. air power hadbeen whittled down and the foe couldcall upon its own land-based airforce to support its operations.
Although fighting was heavy onboth Guam and Tinian, it did notmatch the bloody struggle for Sai-pan. In one frantic counterattackon Tinian, howling Japanese chargedmarines' lines, brandishing flashingSamurai swords, and dependingmainly upon light arms to pene*trate the withering defensive fire.
MARRIAGE:Popular Again
Partly because of an increase inthe marriage rate since 1940, andpartly because millions of singlemen are in the armed services, thenumber of civilian bachelors be-tween 20 and 34 years of age hasdropped from 7,100,000 to 1,700,000.
Indicative of the revival in mar-riage, which always suffers a slumpunder depressed economic condi-tions, the U. S. census bureau re-ported that 63 per cent of the fe-male population 14 years old or overare wedded, in contrast to 60 percent in 1940.
If the experience of World War Iis any criterion, there will be alarge increase in marriages follow-ing the end of the present conflict,the bureau said.
OIL:Record Output
Despite a record production ofcrude oil during the first six monthsof 1944, the industry looked forwardto an increased output for the lasthalf of the year to take care of newrefining capacity to be put into op-eration to help meet expanded wardemands.
With the U. S. reportedly supply-ing 70 per cent of the oil for theUnited Nations during the presentconflict, U. S. production of crudeaveraged 4,461,000 a day during thefirst six months of 1944, as against3,919,000 last year.
Although the industry felt it couldproduce the additional oil neededduring the last half of 1944, it de-clared prompt allocation of heavyduty tires to tank trucks was neces-sary to assure delivery of essen-tial fuel.

POLAND-:New Government
The live question of the characterof the Polish government after thewar flared anew with the announce-ment of the organization of the Na-tional Council of Poland in liberatedeastern territory under Russian aus-pices.
While the National Council ac-cused the Allied-recognized Polishgovernment in exile in London ofhaving set itself up through the "un-lawful fascist constitution of .. .1935," the latter assailed the new or-ganization as consisting of "mostlycompletely unknown persons, whorepresent nobody except a smallcommunist group without any in-f l u e n c e . . . "
In conceding Ukrainian, WhiteRussian and Lithuanian portions ofprewar Poland to the Soviets, theNational Council called for compen-sation through annexation of partsof eastern Germany and East Prus-sia.
In one of its first decrees, theNational Council called for the uni-fication of all Polish fighting forces,which would remain under Russiancontrol.
LORD'S WHEAT;Yield Grows
"Verily, verily, I say unto you,except a corn of wheat fall intothe ground and die, it abidethalone; but if it die, it bringethforth much fruit." John 12:24.Thus inspired by the scriptural
text, Perry Hayden of Tecumseh,Mich., planted a cubic inch of wheaton a patch of ground four feet bysix in 1940, with the Friend's churchreceiving one-tenth of the yield andthe other nine-tenths going back intoseed on land provided by HenryFord.
Tecumseh's miller and known asthe "Tithing Quaker," Hayden con-tinues this practice each year, withhis yield expected to reach 90,000.bushels from 3,00p acres in 1946with the entire crop going to thechurch.
Harvest of, the 1944 crop was agala event, with Henry Ford himselfon hand to help with an assemblyof old threshing equipment, whichgraphically depicted the evolution ofsuch machinery through the years.
For months, Mr. and Mrs. R.R. Maxwell's hen laid standard-sized eggs for the couple in Ore-gon City, Ore.
Then, of a sudden, the henstarted laying real whoppers, 9^4inches around lengthwise and 8inches around crosswise.
After seven days of super-pro-duction, the hen died.
POSTWAR PLANS:Tax Reform
With his celebrated pay-as-you-goincome tax system in force, Beards-ley Ruml came out for further taxsimplification, and reform in thepostwar world in a report to theprivately operated National Plan-ning association.
In collaboration with H. ChristianSonne of a New York business con-cern, Ruml, himself treasurer of thebig Macy department store, pro-posed abolition of corporate incometaxes to lower prices, increasewages and remove the double taxa-tion ensuing from levies on com-pany profits and then shareholders'income.
Principal source of federal in-come, they said, ^should be a gradu-ated income tax" ranging from 16per cent on net income under $3,000to 50 per cent on $250,000 or more.
Recognizing the need for govern-ment assistance during depressionperiods, Ruml and associate calledfor a balanced budget and retire-ment of public debt only after arestoration of high business activ-ity, which might see 55,000,000 peo-ple working and drawing aroundthe 1943 level of $140,000,000,000 inincomes.
CATTLE:Less Primes
U. S. department of agriculturestatistics disclosed the tendency to-ward the marketing of cheapergrades of cattle, with the big Chi-cago yards handling 43 per cent few-er choice and prime steers duringthe first half of July than in thesame period last year.
At the same time, USDA figuresshowed that the Chicago yards re-ceived 1.9 per cent more of the goodgrades during the recent July pe-riod, 75 per cent more mediums and133 per cent more commons.
Chicago trade specialists attribut-ed the decline of the choice andprime receipts to the activities ofblack market operators taking ad-vantage of the production cut ofthese grades because OPA ceilingregulations allegedly have cutprofit margins. Short-feds provid-ing medium quality beef are re-turning the most money the special-ists reported.
RUBBER PROGRAMSatisfied that his task was accom-
plished, Rubber Director BradleyDewey tendered his resignation withthe recommendation that his officebe discontinued, and that its func-tions be turned over to the War Pro-duction board.
Synthetic plants are now produc-ing at the rate of 836,000 tons a year,sufficient to make the 22,000,000 newtires that are on the schedule for1944. About 6,000 experienced tiremakers are needed to meet the goal,Dewey concluded.

CAN FDR BE BEATEN?HAS DEWEY A CHANCE?
WASHINGTON. — Can Rooseveltbe beaten? Has Dewey a chance?Stories have been creeping into thenewspapers that the Republican con-vention had a defeatist spirit. Theadministration partisan writerschose that not unusual political line.
The London Times, which alwaysassumes itself to be the British em-pire, has editorially derided Repub-lican chances, but this also may re-flect a personal interest. The Timesmay wish to continue the Church-ill-Roosevelt dealings into postwar.
Yet aside from these interest-in-spired stories, there is a ratherwide prevailing awe of the Roose-velt tendency to control everything,a respect for his great powers, andnaturally he is doing nothing to dis-courage that interpretation.
But this is a usual technique inhis campaigning, the imposition ofan atmosphere of discouragementupon his opposition.SUMMARIZE CHANCES
A factual reporting job on thisconvention, however, will give you adifferent picture. If you will probethe state and sectional leaders fortheir honest opinions, you will findthe situation somewhat like this:
The Pacific coast regions aredoubtful or pro-Roosevelt as a wholetoday. Oregon gives Dewey his bestCoast chance. Important Californiawill be especially difficult withoutWarren on the ticket. I wouldcount it Democratic. In the RockyMountain regions, the Republicansthink they can carry Wyoming andIdaho surely, probably also Arizonaand New Mexico but expect to loseMontana, Utah and possibly Nevada.(Livestock trouble is a main factorin the Mountain states, influx of amillion war workers in California,)
But the farm states, all ofthem, are considered the bestRepublican ground in the coun-try, the CIO has been too much »out bere, and the conduct of thewar, economically has been un-popular. Kansas is in betterRepublican shape today thanever in its history.
Iowa is considered almost cer- .tain, the Illinois Republican or-ganization definitely promisesthis state. Indiana is more doubt-ful due to a factional Republi-can split, but few count it forRoosevelt. Bricker has a goodchance to carry Ohio.The Republicans think Dewey can
beat Roosevelt in New York. Penn-sylvania is truly doubtful as is Mas-sachusetts. But Republicans havethe edge elsewhere in the East out-side of Rhode Island. New Jerseyis debatabte but on the anti-Roose-velt side.SOUTH TO DEMOCRATS
No one expects anything Republi-can from the South in the end.
Where, then, do these people de-rive the conclusion Roosevelt is acinch, that Republicans are defeat-ed? Obviously only out of their ownheads.
Give Dewey and Roosevelt aneven break west of the wheat-corn belts, count the farm statesRepublican, the South Demo-cratic and you must reach theconclusion that the election willturn on the big industrial com-munities in central and easternstates. That is where the fightwill be. Whoever carries themwill win this election.It is all up to Dewey. He is en-
tering the campaign with the edgeagainst him psychologically. Tomany he is David out after Goliath,but with the same ending not guar-anteed. Yet the ground is well pre-pared for him. Republican organi-zations are functioning in 26 states,the populous heavy voting ones.
If he conducts an unenlightening,unintelligent campaign, he can loseby a landslide. If he can keep- allthe Republican voters together andthe anti-Roosevelt forces solidified,he can win.
My first state-canvass showsRoosevelt 184, Dewey 239, doubtful109, needed to win 266.
If Mr. Roosevelt makes more thanone or two campaign speeches Iwill be surprised. I look for him tobecome deeply absorbed in peacenegotiations or final preparationsin August or September, until No-vember, either going abroad orbringing the other nations here, atthat time, in case their leaders can•come. The news he produces fromsuch a meeting, with radio ad-dresses from a traveling fireside,could well furnish his campaign ma-terial.
* * *As a result of dickering here, the
Pacific coast war businesses will beprotected if Mr. Dewey is elected—and Warren will have charge of thatmatter in the Dewey administration.
This is the only campaign promiseby Dewey that I heard here.
The price was not high, consider-ing what Dewey's chances of elec-tion would be without Warren. Amillion new workers have come intothat state since the war, mostly theunskilled and leftish type. The num-ber of Negroes in San Francisco hasshown a remarkable increase.

1 Pay Hikes of Salaried '| Man Told by Treasury'< WASHINGTON. — If a salariedman has received a raise since Oeto-
;ber, 1942, the treasury thinks thei chances are that he fully deserves it.• Indeed, says the internal revenue: report filed with the senate bankingcommittee, applications in the main
; "have been submitted in meritoriousi cases only." About 80 per cent of the; requests have been approved., Applications covered by the report! concern only that part of wage-| and-salary control delegated to thej treasury department—the cases of! those who draw more than $5,000 aI year and those executive, adminis-! trative and professional employees! who make less than $5,000 but are^not represented by labor unions.; Their cries of "how about a raise,! boss?" have been insistent since the• war started, the report says, and; since October 27, 1942, when the in-: ternal revenue commissioner was; assigned the job of - helping keep, things under control in the anti-infla-'tion battle, he has approved in-; creases averaging 14.2 per cent for', 206,685 employees. More than half:of these were in the $2,400 to $4,000salary bracket.
Allowable reasons are increased; responsibility, inequity, cost of liv-ing, merit, promotion, incentive and
' prosecution of the war.

M ini T*t^T5T' A 1 •1 nan I N I , AccordingTo Ordnance Officers.
WASHINGTON. — A newly-devel-oped powerful high explosive that is"better than a third more explosivethan TNT" is now being used effec-tively in many types of Americanaircraft bombs and in ammunitionfor certain artillery pieces, the armyordnance department disclosed here.
It is "PETN"—a short-cut namefor the chemical term pentaery-thritol-tetranitrate. It is a white,crystalline material.
The explosive was first developedexperimentally during the last war,but proved to be too sensitive andtoo unstable, for extensive use.
But ordnance officers said a tech-nique has been worked out for com-bining PETN with TNT—which is amore stable explosive—to make^ aproduct more powerful than TNTalone, but far more stable and saferto handle than PETN alone.
Used In Bombs and Shells.They said the combination is being
used "in all general purpose aircraftbombs and in ammunition for sucharmament as the 105-millimeterHowitzer, the so-called "work-horseof the army." The explosive, theysaid, has proved'effective.
They asserted that the explosivedoes not lend itself to use in armor-piercing shells which are designedto make deep penetration into anobjective before they explode.
First indication that PETN wasbeing used in this war came in abulletin of the United States publichealth service, reporting that theordnance department had requestedthe health service to investigate thephysiological properties of the ex-plosive two years ago, from thestandpoint of protecting the healthof workers engaged in its manufac-ture.
Don't Take Internally!Substance -of the health service's
report on these studies was this:While in sufficiently large doses
PETN may cause changes of therespiration, circulation and spinalpressure, it can be safely 'handledwith proper precautions.
"The customary methods of goodhousekeeping -and of personalhygiene should be sufficient to pre-vent injurious effects in workershandling this material," was theconclusion of Dr. D. D. Donahue,physiologist and Dr. A. R. Monaco,two of six investigators who studiedthe problem.
The service's bulletin stated thattests of the effect of PETN on theskin showed no irritating action.
British Are BuildingNew Monster Airliner
! LONDON. — A prototype of a new; British airliner for postwar passen-• ger and freight traffic has just beenbuilt by the Handley Page Aircraftcompany.
The new British airliner is a sister: machine to the famed Halifax bomb-er, and many of the warplane's fea-tures are incorporated in its design.
Powered by four radial engines,the new airliner has a cruising speedof over 200 M. P. H. and a top speedof nearly 300 M. P. H. It is equippedwith a larger fuselage than the Hali-fax bomber and has a range of 2,000miles with 50j passengers.
. As a freighter the new British air-craft can carry eight tons, with arange of 1,350 miles. It will be ableto cross the Atlantic summer or win-ter, and will have a sealed oxygen-fed cabin for travel in the sub-stratosphere.
Ontario Town Puts TwoDogs on Its Payroll
KAHAWONG, ONT. — Most com-munities hire dog catchers to trackdown flea-bitten, wayward mutts,but the township of Billings flauntstradition and has two dogs on themunicipal payroll.

Gay Colors, Pretty*/ j j
Ev g Is Designed toEmphasize Femininity.
By CHEKIE NICHOLASThere's that about the new style
picture for spring and summer 1944that'makes one realize that fashionhas gone all out for - pretty-prettyclothes such as emphasize femininecharm in the little costume accents.
It's heartening -to see what won-ders our style creators are perform-ing in making the most of whatthey have at hand. Regardless oflimitations in fabric yardage anddifficulty in production because oflabor shortage and equipment thoseengaged in apparel industries havecome out victoriously with whatwomen declare are the prettiest,most flattering and easy-to-wearclothes they have known for years.
One's first impression upon takinga general survey of the new stylesis that color rules in the fashionworld today, which it certainly does,and let us hope it will continue to doso throughout the duration. It wasa happy thought and a wise one tomake color the "big idea" in creat-ing the new fashions. There's upliftand morale-building in bright color.One's coat or dress, or hat andaccessories, may be of the simplest,but if they have color they haveglamour. And that is just what hashappened in the fashion world oftoday. The young set are steppingbut in toppers and youthful boxycoats that bring cheer to a spring-time landscape. The coats them-selves may be, and are, simplystyled with thought given to fabricconservation, but their delectablecolors bespeak a new loveliness thateveryone welcomes.
The challenge to make the mostout of little has been victoriouslymet by those who create our fash-ions. There's a new simplicity bornin the field of costume design, espe-cially in regard to "lines."
The answer to this challenge isseen in the latest silhouette, whichcalls for sleek long-torso lines thatshow off the figure to perfection. Thenew long-torso over-blouses carryout the idea, as do also one-piecedresses that button on a slant, orare buttoned up the back (new thisseason) or are styled in wrap-aroundeffect.
Make a study of the new hats, thefrothy white neckwear, the myriadsof animated w^e ruffles of self-fabric that are the favorite trim ofthe season. Also keep in mindthat the custom of wearing flowershas been revived and that soft bowsare everywhere in the mode and itwill be plain to see that fashion hasindeed gone all out for the prettilyfeminine this year.
Shoulder Bolero
The young lady pictured is wear-ing a removable bolero of the veryfashionable new shoulder type.That brief is this bolero it scarcelyis more than of yoke depth, withlong loose, sleeves as you see. Re-rnove this bolero and wear the dressbare-back for dining out or sunbath-ing. It is made of a smart spun ray-on that has been tested for handwashing.
Style NotesBig brims is the new story in
hats.Emphasis is on gay color this
season.It's going to be a big summer
for quality cottons.All signs point to a new long-
torso tunic silhouette.Mother-and-daughter pinafores
offer intriguing style theme.Wear flowers! Pin a posy on
your bag, your gloves, or at yourwaistline.
See the new hats made of whitestarched cotton lace. They'rebeauties.
There's a look of elegance andformality about the smart newsatin coats.
One of the few unsolicited war posters ever accepted by the UnitedStates Government is the one shown above, submitted by Wesley Hey-man, 26-year-old New York City artist.
More than 700,000 have been printed and distributed by more than100,000 Boy Scouts throughout the country.
Eejected for military service, Heyman, Assistant Art Director ofHouse Beautiful magazine, felt he eould materially contribute to the wareffort with his poster design.
Concluded from page x.of 1871, Alpena lumberjacks werekinda getting lonesome. The townhadn't burned down for two years,and life was almost in a rut.
* * *"That big fire of 1871 came af-
ter a long, dry summer. The sunshown day after day and nary acloud appeared in the sky. Cropswere parched, fand by the time ofSunday, Oct. 8; the whole northerncountry was crisp as tinder.
"Holland was the first town tobe hit by forest fire, fanned by ahigh wind. The Hope Collegetown was pretty near razed to theground. College buildings were insmoldering ruins, and 73 businesshouses were cleaned out. At Man-istee, some 150 miles north of Hol-land, the fire jumped out of thewoods Sunday afternoon and de-stroyed 206 homes.
"At Lansing the Michigan Ag-gie students turned out and savedthe state capitol. Yes sirree! Andin Midland county the shingle millsof George Eockwell, Collier & Gar-ber, and Eeardon & Anderson, andDowlers, all at Midland, were laidwaste. Gratiot county, too, wasbadly hit, while flames racedthrough the entire Saginaw valleyfrom St. Charles to Birch Eun.
* * #"And up in the Thumb! Why,
the forest fires on that same Sun-day, Oct. 8, back in 1871, destroyeda lot of bustling towns, such asSand Beach, Huron City, ElmCreek, Eichmondville, Forester-ville and White Eock. Most likelyyou never heard of White Eock,except on a bottle. White Eockwas a booming town, on paper any-way, and when Douglass Hough-ton, state geologist, visited it onhis way to northern Michigan,-itwas just a naked rock, plasteredwith seagulls' droppings, whereWhite Eock Creek emptied intoLake Huron.
"Other towns in the fire's pathwere Ubly, Bad Axe, Port Huron,Tawas City and Cass City. The biglumber town of Saginaw wasspared, somehow, although fivebuildings were destroyed over inEast Saginaw.
"All in all, about two millionacres of land were blackened bythe great fire of Oct. 8 in theLower Peninsula alone. And up inthe U. P.—well, maybe you'veheard of the big Peshtigo disas-ter seven miles south of MarinetteIn Wisconsin. This story was re-ported by Luther B. Noyes in hisMarinette and Peshtigo Eaglewhich he had started in June ofthat year. More than 600 personsdied in a raging inferno that sweptPeshtigo.
"My pappy often told me thatthis Oct. 8, 1871 fire was the great-est forest fire in the history of theUnited States. They estimate thetotal dead at 1,152 of whom morethan 600 were lost at the town ofPeshtigo.
"But strangely enough, this 1871disaster up in the north countryand across the lower peninsula ofMichigan wasn't reported in thenewspapers for several weeks. Notthat the journals in those daysweren't on the job. They were.Their headlines for many dayswere all about another news storyyou've heard about. The Chicago
fire started also on Sunday, Oct.8, and it was weeks before Harp-er's Weekly printed anything aboutMichigan and Peshtigo. Can youbeat that?"
* * *Gaylord, with its altitude of
1,350 feet, has had fires too. PaulMacDonald, who owns the localnewspaper, tells of the time whenthe smoke of forest fires could beseen on all sides of the town.
To old-timers such as Jim Buy-yon and his tribe, forest fires havebeen a familiar part of the life ofMichigan's north country. In thefall of 1923 a fire sprung up nearSilver City, in the Porcupines, andswept over at least 500,000 acresof timber and several lumberingcamps. Near Escanaba, as late as1933, a forest fire burned stub-bornly from August to September29, despite the efforts of more than600 men.
* * *Michigan, once a lumber-produc-
ing state, has become a great in-dustrial empire, world-famous forits automobiles and furniture andother products. Its north countryis becoming, more and more, thehealthful haven for vacation-seek-ing city dwellers from citiesthrough the mid-west.
And when the hot and dry sum-mers appear, a few ageless natives,such as Jim Bunyon, scan the.cloudless skies and sniff the airand then spin those yarns aboutold Michigan when lumber wasking and forest fires were some-thing to tell your children about.
We almost forgot to tell youabout Jim Bunyon's grand-pappy.He was a Michigan lumberjackwhose stature was befitting such agreat state. Yep, his first namewas Paul.
Tray TableA tray table will help both the
nurse and the patient, bxrt careshould be taken that it doesn't reston the patient. An ironing boardor straight board placed across thepatient's lap can be supported bychairs of even height placed on ei-ther side of the bed. A grocery boxof wood or heavy cardboard withbottom and two sides removed canbe arranged to fit over the patient'slap. Pockets of cretonne tacked oneither side of the box make conven-ient holders. Bed trays and lapboards may be purchased now inmany of our local stores.
Phosphorus DeficientRemedy for phosphorus-deficient
soils and crops is the application ofgenerous. amounts of phosphate, al-though in the case of a few cropsand some seasons application ofphosphates never failed to increasethe phosphorus content above mini-mum requirements. Corn stover isone of the forage crops which usu-ally is low in phosphorus. Phosphatefertilizers used on corn do increasethe phosphorus content but fail tobring it above the minimum needs.
Ammonium NitrateAmmonium nitrate is an econom-
ical form of nitrogen fertilizer be-cause it is concentrated and requiresless labor, bagging, and expense intransportation than less concentrat-ed fertilizer. It formerly cakedbadly, but now comes in pellet formwhich remains dry and easy tohaudle.

Beer and Flattery uncoverSecret German Gas Shell
The gas shells mter.e devastating. Sheep died instantly.
|7AYOEITE haunts for enemy spies" are amusement spots around de-fense plants and military and aavalposts. Dance halls, motion picturehouses, and taprooms are their hunt-ing grounds. Above all, taprooms.,For it is here that caution is some-times forgotten.
If you are in the armed forces, orin any sort of defense work, guardyour conversation and be most sus-picious of the overly patriotic strang-er who buys you drinks and insistson talking about the war. It wasthis method that Charles Lucieto,French ace of espionage, used dur-ing Jiie first World war to get infor-mation about a new German gasshell.
Toward the middle of 1915, discon-certing rumors flooded the Alliedhigh command; rumors of a deadlynew weapon being perfected in thegiant Krupp munitions plant in Es-sen, northern Germany, So Luci-eto, who spoke German like a na-tive, hurried to Essen.
Posing as a patriotic salesmanfrom Bavaria at the opposite endof Germany, the French spy fre-quented cafes near the Krupp plant.However, even lavish purchases ofbeer for the Krupp mechanics gainedhim little in the way of informa-tion, until Lucieto made the ac-quaintance of an aged Krupp watch-man.
A combination of beer and vanitygave Lucieto the information so des-perately needed by the Allies, forone night after too many steins oflager, the watchman hiccoughed,then confided:
"My friend, the schwein English
and the doubly schwein French aredoomed. I know. 'Even now weload gas shells at Krupp."
Lucieto laughed: "It is too manybeers talking. I wish it was true,but how could an old man like youknow such things? Ah, no! If I wasa betting man, I would give odds often, even twenty to one that youknow nothing. Gas in shells? Ab-surd!"
Before long, the bet was made.To settle it, next day the watchmansmuggled Lucieto into the Kruppplant, to witness a demonstrationof the new weapon being staged forthe Kaiser. The weapon was dev-astating. Sheep used, in the demon-stration died instantly.
Lucieto needed a sample of thatnew gas for analysis. A shell frag-ment would be enough. As he paidthe bet, he said:
"Now, if only I could have a sou-venir of this great day. A frag-ment of one C of the shells, per-haps—?"
Three days later *a fragment ofshell, supplied Lucieto by the help-ful watchman, was in Paris, in thehands of M. Bayle, one of France'sgreatest chemists. From minuteparticles of chemicals adhering tothe shells, he was able to determinethe shells were charged with phos-gene and chlorofcrmiat trichldromethyl.
Thus, when the new gas shellswere used, the Allies had an im-proved mask which was as effectiveagainst the new gas as the old maskwould have been useless.
Distrust strangers whose avowalsof patriotism are too loud.
Army Pilots ShowBombing Accuracy
Amaze Onlookers by SkillIn Hitting Targets.
EGLIN FIELD, FLA. — Bombingwith the accuracy of rifle fire andat almost the same angle, was dem-onstrated by army fliers for morethan 40 writers on a |gur,of pre-invasion training camps. '-"-*̂ «"-̂ *
The pilot of a Douglas A-20 Havoclight bomber put 10 100-pound bombsthrough a target not more than 15feet square. The bombs weredropped from 50 feet as the planetraveled more than 200 miles anhour, ••••"K!*I ̂ M??****^ • •• -
A new type of "hotfoot for Hitler"—belly tanks loaded with an incendi-ary solution — was dropped on awooden structure by a P-38 Light-ning and a P-51 Mustang, eachcarrying two of the deadly firespreading devices.
B-26 Marauder medium bomberswiped out a row of buildings from8,000 feet and from the same heighta B-17 plastered the area with 1,000-pounS bombs. Timed fuse bombswhich spread destruction at firstfloor level by exploding in the airwere placed by a B-25 Mitchell.
Later the army showed at closerange the accuracy of twin .50-cali-ber guns in bomber turrets, the ter-rific concentration of fire power inthe eight wing guns of the P-47Thunderbolt and the use of heavierarmament by planes in flight—the3-inch cannon in the nose of theMitchell, a 37-millimeter cannon inthe P-39 Airacobra and the four 20-millimeter cannon in the nose of aHavoc.
Most spectacular of the attackswas the "skip,*' or "buzz," type ofbombing by a Havoc. The pilot useda new variable reflector gun sightwhich doubles the use of the gunsight by an easy and accurate ad-justment. Twice the pilot tossedthree bombs through the target andon the last approach flung his re-maining four bombs through vir-tually the same holes.

At the same time, food authoritiesreminded housewives that as far astheir dinner tables were concerned,an adequate supply of the vitaminfor the family can be secured frombutter, liver, eggs, fruits and vege-tables—especially carrots.
Vitamin A combats respiratoryailments—including colds—and is afactor in eyesight. It has been usedparticularly during the war to in-crease night vision of aviators.
Thief Kisses His VictimBefore Taking Her Purse
CHICAGO?—A courtly thief whokisses his victims possibly as solacefor the loss of their money, accostedMiss Elaine Olsen, 19, of 4724N. Kenneth avenue, as she was re-turning from her work as toll opera-tor fo? the Illinois Bell Telephonecompany.
At 4612 N. Kenneth avenue, hestepped in front of Miss Olsen,placed a hand on each cheek andkissed her twice on the mouth. Shewas so startled she dropped herpurse, Miss Olsen told Albany Parkpotfce.
The man, who was dark andstocky, picked it up and fled. Thepurse, minus its contents of $50 anda lipstick, was returned to MissOlsen at her home an hour later bya man who said he found it in ayard behind his house.

"I am fine and plenty safe.Looks like we'll be home soon."
—V—The following are .excerpts from
letters written by Lt. Ernest A.Kelly to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.Ezra Kelly, of Detroit but former-ly of Cass City: *
"July 12, 1944—Just returnedfrom another of our little 'parties'here on Saipan. We all had a lotof fun, with everyone . having agood time except the Nips, who,as usual, had to pay the fiddler.
"It is one thing to kill Japsfrom inside & tank and anotherthing to kill them as the infantrydoes, but the other day I managedto pick off some with a rifle whileoutside a tank.
"The Japs are a cruel, treacher-ous lot of people and most Marineshave no more compunction overkilling them than they would a likenumber of rats. Hope you are get-ting along fine and dandy backthere. A letter came from youwhile I was up on the front theother day. According to one of thelast newsreels some of the facto-ries are starting to slow down onmunitions."
"July 17, 1944—Here is anothershort letter to let you know thatI am still ok and chipper as acricket. Now that the island is se-cured, things are very quiet withonly an occasional Jap or two toremind us that "there is still a waron. The Nips are pretty good fight-ers but no match for a Marine asthey fight too much like rats, hol-ing up in the day time and comingouib at night to sneak around. Ma-rines welcome these. Banzai at-tacks as then we have the oppor-tunity to really pile them up,
"Most stories about the Japs'cruelty and fanatics are truebut are too horrible to write aboutin a letter or even talk about toyou 'gentle' civilians.
"The rainy season is on now,which is just another discomfort.People never realize how comfort-able civilization is until they haveto do without most of it. There hasbeen no mail for several days nowbut here's hoping."
"July 18—Your letter of the 6th•arrived today. It sure is good tohear from you folks at home. Isee my letters written here onSaipan hadn't arrived there yet,but you saw in the paper wheremy division was' fighting. A cor-respondent was around here get-ting stories so there is a slightchance that my name will be in,one of the Detroit papers. Thereisn't much of a story though; all itis about is my tank being knockedout by an -anti-tank gun.
"I got a kick out of the deerhunting stories you wrote, dad;especially the one about the deerstaying in place while the groupwere arguing. I had nearly thesame happen to me here, only it
was Nips who did the hiding. Ihad three tanks up at the frontlines. After we took a hill, afterstanding around for a half houror so 'and talking, we started topush on. We hadn't gone 10 yardswhen a bunch of Japs startedthrowing hand grenades. They hadrifles too, but never fired them. SoI ran a tank up to the shell holewhere the Japs were and shot heckout of them with the machineguns. Just as we finished andstarted to back up, a flame throwercrew came up and cremated whatwas left of them. When the smokecleared away there were eightNips piled up that had their wishof going to their heaven fulfilled.
"Another time a Jap rushed mytank while a hundred Marines werejust in rear of us. They all fired atonce and the Nip stopped like he'drun into a stone wall. However, if
jit weren't for incidents like that,I this combat would grow monoto-nous like heck. Don't worry aboutme as this is all over for now. Asever, Ernest."
Concluded from page A.cows producing 350 pounds of fatat a feed cost of $89. While thefeed cost difference is $8, the re-turns over feed cost between thetwo groups were $87 and $139, re-spectively, or a difference of $52extra for $8 additional feed, Balt-zer explains.
Michigan's association herdshave' shown a steady increase inaverage production for severalyears, Baltzer states. For instance,the figures are for the last threetesting years are: 1942, 8,415pounds of milk and 348 pounds offat; 1941, 8,363 pounds of milk and347 pounds of fat; 1940, 8,180pounds of milk and 337 pounds offat.
The report reveals tha,t somecows produced as little as 2,845pounds of milk and 104 pounds offat, while others produced morethan 18,000 pounds of milk andnearly 700 pounds of fat.
Michigan started the nationalmovement of group testing ofdairy cows when the first cowtesting association was estab-lished in Newaygo county in 1905,Baltzer says. Production of this•association of 239 cows that yearaveraged 5,336 pounds of milk and215 pounds of fat, with $20.99 .re-turn over feed cost. The numberof cows in testing associations hasincreased considerably during thepresent year until now there areapproximately 63 associations in jMichigan with about 20,000 cows.
