SNAPSHOT GUILD YOUR VACATION PICTURES "*P Iditlci and views are line--but don't overlook close-ups, fun pictures. Mid shots of the vacation group In holiday dress. Get variety In your VSCaoon i*C5o rd. TUB is the season ot the rear when most of us torn our work over to someone else, toss the family luggage into the back of the car, and set off fqr green vacation pastores. The camera, of course, goes along--for without pictures, what would we have to remember the vacation by, and how could we Show our friends were we went and what we did? ' v On the chance tftat they'll oe helpful, here are some hints for •. your vacation picture-taking. First, remember that the only good vacation record is a complete one. Not Just a shot here and there, snatched in odd moments--but a truly wellrounded picture-story of the fun, the interesting places, the people you met, and the experiences you had. , - . Second, take the complete, kit wtth you. If you hive photo bulbs I and reflectors at home, tuck them ' s in a corner of one suitcase. There may be opportunity for night shots, at some interesting place where you stay. If you have a tripod, slip it in the car trunk or under the seat Maybe you won't use it at all --and maybe it will be essential for a twilight scenic that you're Just bound to get Another hint: take an adequate film supply. That's very important if you're going to out-of-the-way spots, or if your camera takes an unusual film size. It's no fun to get stuck with an empty camera and no film, right in mid-vacation. In taking your pictures, seek vac riety. Scenics and general views are fine--but don't overlook closeups, shots of the group in vacation attire, pictures of unusual spots you visit, even snaps of novel signs and historical inscriptions. These add interest and spice to the vacation album. Those, then are the essentialsvariety in the pictures, a wellrounded record, proper equipment, ana an adequate nitu su'ypljr. And herewith is my hearty wish that this year's vacation is the bestboth for fun and for pictures--that yon have ever had. John van Guilder x&T4* yvmp' *: PageBwft FARM TOPICS QOOD DAIRY COW PAYS ITS 'BOARD' High. Producing Animals Prove More Profitable. ^ By ELMER J. MEADOWS t)ne dairy cow that produces 545 pounds of butterfat a year will return as much money above feed cost as two'cows that produce 350 pounds, or more than 13 cows that average 152 pounds of butterfat annually. That's what experiments at the Colorado State college indicate, says Elmer J. Meadows. One 545-pound cow will return $10C above feed cost during a year, according to figures Meadows has compiled from actual experience. This figure is based on butterfat selling at 40 cents a pound. Two COWE each producing 35C pounds of butterfat a year will return only $4 a year more above the feed cost than the 545-pound cow and will cost $168 to feed, compared to $UG, the feed cost of the large producer. Thirteen 152-pound cows will return $101.40 above feed cost during a £ear, and it will cost $688 to feed them. If the extra labor required to milk and care for 13 cows producing 152 pounds of butterfat each compared to 2 producing 350 pounds each, is figured, it would further emphasize the necessity of keeping and breeding only cows with the ability to produce large amounts of milk and butterfat. And so the question evolves-- "Why not take a few cows that produce at least 350 pounds of fat a year rather than a whole corralful of the 152-pound group that produces only about 20 pounds less than the average dairy cow in the United States?"

Skim Milk h. lined ;; In Making of 'WooT It has long been a wonder to many that when si black cow ate green grass it gave yellow milk, but it's «ven more of a wonder nowadays when a chemist takes the skim milk and makes wool out of it.

The cost of the finished product will be about 50 cents a pound when put on a commercial basis.

Washington, June 12--If the writing on the wall is correctly interpreted then the question of a third term is not the only vital decision President Koosevelt must make at an early date. It appears that he will be required to speak in clear and unequivocal terms as to the executive powers to be transferred to the newly created Advisory Defense Commission and at the same time, pull a strong checkrein on the undercover efforts of the so-called New Deal Inner Circle to have a finger in the pie. Distinct grumbling's are heard in military and naval quarters about attempts of the "Palace Guard" to obtain control over defense activities by devious means with resulting confusion and conflict. This subject is nppermost at the social gatherings when the flowing bowl and other considerations make for man-to-man talks among officialdom! The matter easily outranks the otherwise pressing problems of the forthcoming Republican National Convention, whether Congress wijl adjourn or simply lecesa and current political chit-chat. The sudden prominence of compulsory military training and widening the income tax base to encircle millions heretofore exempt from contributing to governmental costs has, it is believed, lessened some of the tension over this little publicized tug-of-war between professional military and naval leaders and the the White House intimates. With few exceptions the national legislators are keeping aloof from this Administra tion feud largely because it has no| reached the public and assumed thq proportions of a public issue. Besides,,, the solons in voting funds and author* ity to the President feel the settle-:1 tnent of internal strife is his "headache" not theirs. Those close to these subterranean struggles say it is not exactly a par-1 a* between Republicans and Democrats but more an effort of a powerful clique to extend and retain? their influence in policy-making. It will be recalled that this clique had much to do with the disbanding of the Wlar Resources Committee established during the crisis of last fall. The claim is made in authoritative point® that the Army and Navy chieftains, who are responsible for defense, are valiantly battling against heavy odds to prevent the "Inner Circle" from obtaining access to their secret plans. The military aftd naval experts feel that men and women, who are now in high places solely by reason of their social or economic ideas, are not qualified to supervise directly or indirectly the arming of the nation. The recommendations of the disbanded War Resources Board are so far a closely guarded secret. It is known, however, that the Board rebelled at the suggestion of revising their findings to harmonize with theories of the "Palace Guard." Now the unorthodox to the politician*. The pussy-footing tactics, which the major parties expected to adopt and apparently with the blessing of the President, have been thrown overboard in drafting an internal revenue measure on the eve of the nominating conventions. The proposed conversion of relief activities into an auxiliary of na* tional defense has diminished, the effectiveness of capitalizing on the voters' resentment to this huge speeding Dangers of war have handicapped what was once a strong G.

All of which is more or less detrimental to the G.O. P. camcivilians administrative powers even 'pawners. Their leaders are optimin an emergency.

ELECTS OPFICER8 considered either members of or friendly to the "Palace Guard." The President has since stated that rea! authority would be bestowed soon. It is small wonder that the high moguls of the armed forces are hesitant about baring the secret plans to this super-agency and channelized into the, social reform group. How the President will cope with these sapping tactics is not easily predictable. It will be tough sledding for the Republicans to draft a party platform two weeks hence. Many of their most plausible arguments on domestic issues have acquired a second-rate importance within the last three weeks. The G. p. P. and their Democratic rivals were completely astounded at the surge of public sentiment favoring a special preparedness tax. levy and taxes in an election year are strictly S P E E D Y veiling months before the elections so the comparative claims of rival candidates for public office may be calmly valuated to the advantage of their Officers and trustees of the Wood* land Cemetery association met last Wednesday evening at the city hall for their annual meeting. Markers for perpetual care were selected and will be purchased and other business was transacted. The roadway in the cemetery has been graveled and the grounds axe. being given good care. It is hoped that lot owners will show their appreciation of the care being given the cemetery by payment of their annual dues which are only one dollar per single lot. Many dues are unpaid from year to year making it difficult to carry on the necessary work for the upkeep of the grounds. Many are now adopting the perpetual care plan, also, particulars of which may be obtained from the secretary, Mrs. Ony Wheeler. The cemetery association is incorporated and business is being Conducted according to law. Following the annual reports of the secretary and treasurer, election of officers and three trustees was held with results as follows: Robert % party Observers say the G O.

About 5,778 candles, weighing more than half a ton, would be burned. ' By "DICK" Population Is Shifting From Cities to Farms It has been apparent for some time that the population trend is away from the cities and toward the farm. Now the fact seems to be officially proved by the advance tryout in the 1940 federal census. Two counties in Indiana were selected by the government for the preliminary count. The first figures have been released, showing that while St. Joseph county has gained somewhat in its rural areas, the two principal cities. South Bend and Mishawaka, have decreased by a few thousand. The difference was slighter in the case of Marshall county and its county seat, Plymouth. The town gained a little, but the county gained more. These are only two small straws, of course, but they show which way the wind is blowing and the fact is significant after a long period when the "drift to the cities" was regarded as a serious social problem. -- Farm Notes ii*Miki Tri blocking a gate against hogs, swinging the foot back and forth is more effective in keeping the animals back than waving the arms. * • • ° Corn and sorghum silage may both be successfully fed to sheep, but the quality must be good.
