Silhouettes against the sunset mike striked cnapshots. S faMMER'S gorgeous, sunsets are splendid snapshot material, and sunset pictures are easy to. take, whether you have a simple box camera or a high-grade folding camera with ultra-fast lens. ... Charming silhouettes of persons can be made with the sunset as a background, and sunset shots across a lake or stream, with reflections, •re remarkably beautiful. The effect of. a sunset is heightened by a good foreground, such as a "frame" of trees'or overhanging leafy branches. In the country, try shooting the sunset with a piece of farm machinery silhouetted against it. A plowing scene, with straining horses silhouetted against the sunset sky, makes a successful snapshot. One of the most Important points, hi, picturing sunsets, is to obtain a Strong, vigorous cloud effect. Good clouds are often better than a riot Of brilliant color, at least for blacliand- white picture purposes. In many cases, a more striding result wili be - obtained if you place .a. color-filter over the camera lens. The filter brightens Its own colors, and darkens its opposite or complementarycolors. When in doubt, shoot one picture with the filter and one without. A good sunset is worth an extra shot or two. Either chrome type or panchromatic film is excellent for sunset pictures. Short exposures are desirable, in order to subdue detail in the foreground. If yours is a box camera which has a choice of lens openings, use the smaller opening. With rapidlens cameras, try an exposure ol f.16 at 1/50 or 1/100 second. If the sunset is quite bright, and you are shooting across water, you may uso an opening as small as f .22. Watch the eunsets--keep your camera loaded--ready for action--- and you will add many a charming snapshot to your collection. John van Guilder. German Name for Accordion Germans call the accordion a handharmonika, because it's really a mouth organ blown by bellows instead of the lungs. Over 100 years old, with 5 to 50 keys, the accordion is popular because it's so easily transported. Like so many other musical instruments, it had a hard time gaining "respectability," because its timbre (tone) was *o coarse.

W5 HEN an individual is said _,rl!ARk TOPICS RENOVATING THIN PASTURE ADVISED Dr. Barton blood--the first thought for a great many years was to give "iron" pills,. because anemia really means lack of iron. And even today the anemic individual is still given iron pills, iron tablets, iron capsules and even iron injections. These methods of giving iron ar^ all helpful in anemia. / Then when Drs. Minot and Murphy, Boston, were ahle to show the medifcal profession the wonderful results of feeding liver to patients with the formerly fatal type of anejnia-- pernicious anemialiver in some form became the common method of treatifig all cases of anemia. Later , extract of hog's stomach instead of'liver began to be used with the same success. While this treatment by iron, liver or liver extract and hog's stomach helps most patients, it should not prevent the patient, or, in cases where the patient is under treatment, the patient's physician, from finding out the cause of the anemia and trying to correct it. Prevention and Cure. Dr. H. K. Speed Sayre, in Oklahoma State Medical Association Journal, mentions dental sepsis-- poisoning from the teeth--and anemia due to lack of vitamins and minerals in the food eaten. "The treatment of anemia may be divided into three divisions: Prevention, the general treatment of anemia and treatment by specific or special remedies." ~ Prevention of anemia would include a general examination by the physician and dentist so that any slow infection that may be destroying the red corpuscles' or reducing the iron in them would be readily discovered. General treatment includes bed rest, rich, nutritious foods, especially meats, green vegetables and fruits. Special or specific treatment would be the use of liver, liver extract, extract of hog's stomach and, in certain cases, the transfusion of rich blood from a healthy individu aL * • Se-i' ' ' JThe Failing Hearst;-- Seeding of Legumes May Be Solution of Problem. ky B.

Renovation of thin sods and, bare spots by means of scarificatiofi and the seeding of legumes may be the solution of the pasture problem on many farms. + • Renovation is especially useful on pastures that should not be plow<yi or that have only small areas that are in need of attention. Such areas can be located this' summer for treatment in the fall. First step is to test tKe soil and Washington Washington, Augt^st' 24--Saber-rattling in European war corridors has awakened latent interest in our foreign policy: It has not, however, created sufficient furore to completely distract the people's attention from domestic battles in the political arena With perspiring candidates conducting a ballyhoo at farmers' picnics and partisan rallies, it is indeed difficult to forget the men and women seeking public office.

Warnings of the FCC are important because the Commissioners themselves have; fought off Congressional investigations as to their partiality. Whenever a demand is made for radio time, the local station officials must consider the rules issued by the government. The first rule makes clear that, "No station licensee is required to permit the use of its facilities by any legally qualified candidate for public office." However, this is qualified as follows: "but JOHNSBURG Mrs. Irvin Schaefer of Waukegan spent a week, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Meyers. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Freund and daughter, Nancy, of Chicago visited relatives here Sunday. Mrs. Leo Smith and Mrs. Joe King were Woodstock callers Saturdafy. Mr. and Mrs. Joe J.

The heart was meant to do a certain amount of work, according to the size of the body. However, if infection in the body affects the. lining or valves of the heart, or affects the power of the heart walls (which pump the blood), it would then not be able to do its "normal" amount of work. It could, however, do half (or even more) as much work as it was able to do before it was dam aged. The point then for those with heart disease--a failing heart--4o remember, is, that having such a heart does not mean that they are doomed to early and sudden death. It means rather that they will have to learn just what "load" their heart will carry without putting extra strain on it. It is the extra strain that undermines the heart's strength (uses up its reserve). Not getting enough rest, taking more exercise or doing more work than the heart can stand are some causes of strain. An important cause of strain is the eating of large, heavy meals. Emotional disturbances also put much extra strain on the heart. Six Lives Lost Heeding False Distress Signal One of the worst disasters on the Great Lakes in 1880 wiped out the crew of the Pointe Aux Barques coast guard station near here, which recently was discontinued, recalls a Huron City, Mich., correspondent in the Detroit Free Press. Following the mandatory weatherreport for April 23, 1880, in the station's log is the notation, "Crew all cold in death with the exception of keeper," written by Capt. Jerome Kiah, the first commander. On 'that day, Captain Kiah said later, a scow flying a distress signal was seen. The crew of six and commander launched a boat and headed for the scow. Several hours of battling the heavy surf took them three miles out, a quarter-mile from the scow. v ^ A heavy wave swept up on the boat and capsized it. Twice the crew righted it, each time to see it capsize again. For a time they clung to the boat, then one by one they slipped away into the icy water. Captain Kiah, who was not overheated from rowing because he was in command, alone survived. He was found unconscious on the beach. The report notes that the six lives were lost needlessly. After the coast guard boat overturned, the scow sailed away in no apparent difficulty and its Identity n*v«^ was learned.

Timothy is usually seeded with the legumes since it insures a greater percentage of grass during the first and second years than would ordinarily be present. After renovation it is well to manage the pasture in such a way that the legumes have1 an opportunity to reseed themselves. This practice is not recommended on good pasture sods which may need only a little rest. Neither is it recommended for steep hillsides. affdrd equal opportunities to all other such candidates for that office to use such facilities, provided that such licensee shall have no power of censorship over the material broadcast by any such candidate."

First, examine their quarters for mites. If any are present, get right after them with a good painting of the roosts with some anti-mite preparation. Hens can scarcely stand both mites and hot weather, much less lay eggs. Lice, too, should be exterminated if any are present. Another menace to the summer health of hens is the open corn crib. If a hen frequents the ci^b daily, she is apt to eat too much corn and to become too fat to lay, and per wrest control of the party machinery from the New Deal element before the 1940 Nominating Convention. It has been stated that Georgia's dignified solon has worked hand in glove with no less personage than the Vice-President of the U. S. A., who is acknowledged as a political craftsman having powerful following in Congress. It is true, of course, that the subleties of Jack Garner have been unheralded with the rank and file. The round-up of delegates and control of delegations is not accomplished by the blare of trumpets. It is argued, with some degree of plausibility, that Mr. Roovevelt's open assault on Senator George's candidacy is calculated to strike terror to those who are prepared to block him or his anointed successor in the Democratic National Convention in 1940. Exchange of cor^ respondence among the Washington agents and the members of the Garner coterie indicates that rejection of Senator George's bid for re-nomination might have a slowing effect, but would not definitely check a movement which is too well-organized to be completely sidetracked by an occasional reversal. The schism may become more pronounced in event George triumphs at the polls. Government economists are betting heavily on a business upturn in September.

Many young poultry raisers, not no- Ivocates of public spending are depenticing how their birda run to the dent on this recovery to justify their crib, say: "I don't know what's the theories for an enormous outpouring matter with my hens; they are dy- of Federal funds for allegedly relief ing so!" Their grandmothers probably could tell them that the trouble is too much corn. In summer, some grief is caused by the broody hen. If not broken up immediately, broodiness almost always ruins a good layer. She will hold to the nest without laying, and will dwindle in size until weak. Some poultry raisers simply gather up their broody hens and sell them. But, if what a culler once said at one farm is true, that policy is unwise. He said, "Your hens have almost culled themselves. The best ones have gone to sitting." To break up broodiness, place the hens in a slat-bottomed coop so that the air can circulate under it. Offer the birds plenty of mash and fresh water. Hog Choleiii Cholera is to hogs what blackhead is to turkeys, except that hog growers are luckier than turkey growers in that one can vaccinate against hog cholera, whereas this cannot be done for turkeys, advises a writer in the Missouri Farmer. Blackhead can be prevented by an operation-- the blind intestines can be tied off almost entirely, which prevents the cecal worms from gaining access to these pouches, but the operation is both expensive and risky and is therefore impractical. Strict sanitation will prevent blackhead, however-- sanitation and a balanced ration-- which is also the ease with nearly all diseases.
