Henry Wal­ lace and his cowboy running mate are already at it. with little suc­ cess so far except the collection o f spoiled fiuit. Truman will do a great deal of ad lib talking, off the cuff.

MORE TEACHERS For the first time in several years, the teacher famine shows some signs of passing away. Su­ perintendents are smiling again. They even have applicants. For a time, only flie most alert, coun­ try scouring school men filled their faculty positions. There was consternation in every com­ munity, when some teacher re­ signed to swept a better position. But the word is that teachers are more plentiful now than for five years. For one thing, the train­ ing schools Lave been turning out teachers, and higher wages are causing mine people to take up teaching as a career, HE OUGHT TO BE GOOD President Truman says that since he ha., been a judge, a sena­ tor and a president, dealing all the time with laws, he ought to make a good lawyer. Once upon a time a man sold another man a coon dog, guaranteeing him to be a good hunter. Within a week, the purchaser brought the dog back. “ That dog is no coon dog,” he said, “Ho doesn’t know a thing about hunting coons!” The one who sold the dog shook his head, murmuring: “ That’s funny; I tried him for everything else and he wasn't any good, so I was sure he was a good coon dog!” LOOK WHO'S SMART! A Russian writer says that “ Shakespeare’s soul home is in Russia, as the western people are unable to appreciate him be­ cause of their low standard o f in­ telligence.” It pays to he ignor­ ant. UNREST IN RUSSIA It is very certain that there is unrest in Russki, and many im­ portant people are seeking refuge in free countries before the deluge. It is feared by observers that Russia may wage war as a way to unity among her people and sat­ ellites. IT S OUIl TURN Remember all the raving and complaining—and just all it was— about the United States shipping scrap iron to Japan? Because, later, it became apparent that most of it was used to prepare fo r war against the USA? But, believe it or not, Japan is now shipping scrap iron to the USA. But wf-promise we won’t shoot it back at her! A NEW WORRY It sounds strange, but the word “ surplus” causes as much alarm in this country as oven “ inflation,” and, with some folks, as. much as been dusted with DDT. The amount of DDT was so minute, however, that it was not considered danger­ ous. On corn, an application of 30 pounds of dust (containing 5 per cent DDT) per acre might amount to two ounces of DDT per ton of sil­ age; that is, if all the dust stayed on the corn, which is extremely un­ likely- Even that much would result in only about a gram of DDT dally in the ration of a cow or steer. DDT toxicity studies at a private research farm indicate no danger to animals from considerably larger amounts. Even so, if any farmer fears a trace of DDT in mills from silage made from sprayed or dusted corn, he can feed the silage to steers, heifers or dry cows. Twice-Dcy Record Ai &&*:\ r ^ f c V ' ; v g - . > , j With a record-smashing total of 1,118.8 pounds of butterfat, Crest- view Toitilla Susan, purebred Hol­ stein dairy cow owned by Lake- field Farms, Clarkston, Mich., has established a new all-time U. S. butterfat figure for cows being milked twice daily. “ Susan” pro­ duced close to 1,400 pounds of ta­ ble butter during the year. Herds and Flocks <*S&&***+' COLUMBUS DAY Fall pigs have advantages over spring litters because they are far­ rowed under more favorable condi­ tions. Sows and gilts have been on summer pasture soaking up sun­ shine during pregnancy. Iowa State college swine specialists say fall pigs usually come stronger and more pigs, are saved. Turkey raisers are being advised now not to put baking soda or salt in drinking water for poults, because use of these in excessive amounts causes a condition known as “ water belly.” Burn the carcass of every animal that dies of anthrax. Don’t open the carcass. Soak it: with kerosene, cover it with a load of cobs or .straw, put a load of manure over jthem and set fire to the pile. If [possible, burn anthrax carcasses irlght whore the animal dies; Castrate pigs any time after they are a week old. After castration, keep them on clean grass pasture \vhere there are no mudholes, to re­ duce danger o f lockjaw infection. Caution Urged In Feeding Salt to Poultry Flock Extra salt will control cannibalism for a short time after it is added to the ration of chickens, according to Pennsylvania State college. Us­ ual amount is two teaspoons per gallon of drinking water. Salt .should be fed only long enough to stop cannibalizing, except the small amount contained in the mash, deeding large quantities actually may prove harmful.

High St. Dial 3-9491 With a Buckeye In Congress Revising Our Executive Department Former President Herbert Hoo­ ver, who is. the chairman of the Commission on Organization of the Executive Branch of the Gov­ ernment, has offered the nation food for profound thought during the past week. In a talk before a Washington group, Mr. Hoover observed- that we are coming “ very close to socializing savings” when our taxes have reached a point so high that “ they are draining the fundamental savings of the people out of the Trea­ sury.” The former president declared that the responsibilities of our government executive d e p a r t ­ ments have now grown so great that the President of the United States now heads between sixty and eighty independent agencies departments. A president devot­ ing just an hour each week to these important branches of our government would be putting in almost eighty hours without hay­ ing time for any consideration of policy issues. Some of our Government bu­ reaus, because o f this physical factor, are today checked almost entirely by the Budget Director, with no one else supervising their work. To remedy this increasing­ ly burdensome condition/ ,tlie work of the Hoover commission is pointing towards more active par­ ticipation by cabinet officers in the responsibilities of our .Gov­ ernment. If Mr. Dewey is elected to the Presidency, it is already clear that his vice president will be given fa r more to do than any previous vice president. Cabinet assistants too should be carefully consider for their ability to re­ lieve the president of the onerous burdens now thrust upon him. Maine—and The Nation It is not true that as Maine goes, so goes the nation, in every national contest. But when the people of a state cast 71.4 per cent of their ballots for a particu­ lar candidate of a particular party they have made news. To some extent the results of the vote for United States Senator in Maine reflect the immense per­ sonal popularity of Mrs. Marga­ ret Chase Smith who becomes the first woman elected to the Senate from political scratch. But the results of the other contests in the rock-ribbed state are no less convincing.. The Republican can­ didate for the governorship of Maine won over his Democratic opponent by almost 2 to 1. The three Maine Congressional seats ■were won by Republicans by mar­ gins of 5 to 3> 5 to 2, and 2% to 1. The importance of the election of Republicans to the Senate and the House of Representatives is emphasized by the Maine results. If the national polls are accu­ rate in their prediction o f . a Dewey-Warren sweep through­ out the country, the election of a Republican majority in both branches of the Congress would appear to be imperative to assure an effective and cooperative na­ tional policy. It is by no means certain that the retention of the small Repub­ lican majority in the Senate will occur" and Governor Dewey is planning to devote a large part of his campaign to efforts de­ signed to assure this result. We have seen the difficulties which arise from a divided E x e c u t i v e and Congress. It must -be hoped that the November results will / r BUY THE WALLPAPER BUY THE BUY... i f K I IPER !

A Fighter Who Knew The Score There was a good deal o f talk in many circles during the war that our boys required more “ orientation.” We set up elabor­ ate courses of highly varying types, which had limited degrees of success. But one soldier whose name has come to public notice this wepk knew what he was fighting to build. He was a small town lad who died in the Philip­ pines. His name was Robert John­ stone, and his will provideed that his ten thousand dollar life in­ surance policy he used after the war ended to finance the Ameri­ can education o f one Japanese enemy soldier. .
