From a national standpoint increasing emphasis is being placed on the use of the protective foods. Sk^s are a good source of protein high in biological value. The iron content of the yolk is high compared with most other foods and experiments indicate jthat al! of this iron is present in a form available to the body. Eggs are also a source of calcium and are rich in phosphorus. An egg or two a day will make considerable contribution to the daily requirements for vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin and at the same time furnish some of the pellagra-preventing factor and vitamin D. It is because of their mineral and vitamin content that eggs arc listed among the protective foods. ••••• Read the Want Ada 3%v Washington m * 7, --By-- """ National Editorial Association THEATRE IN McHCNRY FRIDAY -- SATURDAY Bob Groat?

Beyond that, except for the usual routine appropriations bills, the Administration now has nothing else in sight, and Congressional leaders have no program at all. The Administration's three proposals call for the activity of only four Congressional committees--two in the House and two in the Senate--and about eighty-five members out of the 531 in both branches of Congress.

Occasionally an announcement is made regarding the arrival or departure of a courier carrying sealed dispatches. The State Department, however,, revealed to the House Appropriations Committee a few days ago that $90,000 a year is required for courier travel. They have to travel in fancy and unusual ways which costs a good deal of money, j The American control point for di< plomatic couriers in Europe is at the legation in Berne, Switzerland. These special messengers are paid $3,000 a year and they earn it. Owing to the war their travels are made under hazardous conditions, but the trips are made on schedule. In their diplomatic pouches they carry the secrets of world governments which must be guarded against seizure by enemy agents. These pouches contain secret and very urgent correspondence which is locked and sealed so that It cannot be tampered with enroute. Some of these couriers are delayed, but they manage to reach their destination by use of diplomatic passports. One of the most important courier routes is fortnightly service going from Berlin to Copenhagen and Stockholm, connecting up with a courier who comes out from Moscow via Heslinki. It is a special mission in which only the most trusted agents are employed. Little has been heard of the autogiro which was the aviation sensation of its day!, The emphasis now is on speedy combat and bomber planes, so the autogiro has lost its place in the sun. It is being relegated to the reader as a factor in the air mail service. Sometime ago great hopes were held out for the development of autogiro service to land on the roofs of local post offices and serve as a shuttle of quick transportation of air mail to places off the established air mail routes. An autogiro service was first inaugurated in Philadelphia operating between the Philadelphia post office and the neighboring Camden, N. J. station. When the municipal airport was placed in use it was found that the motor-vehicle service could perform approximately the same Service at a saying in cost. The cost was $70,000 a year for autogiro and the motor vehicles could operate the service for approximately $7,000. A postal expert told a Congressional committee recently that it is not practical service in carrying mail for a short distance because of the cost. It is mechanically feasible for an autogiro to pick mail up from the roof of a local post office and land on another roof without much difficulty In fact, a test showed a performance rating of eighty-six per cent. It is not likely that this form of aerial transportation will be used during the period when the demand is so great for larger and faster equipment. a view ( to protecting agricutural pro- cents on the Elgin board of trade, duction in all matters involving legiti- Prof, and Mrs. A.

S. D. A. food-for-defense program, can be harvested by setting out a few plants of the earliest varieties such as "Break-of-Day," "Bonnie Best" or "John Baer" from about May 15 to May 25, according to Farm Adviser John H. Brock. "At the same time, set out a much larger number of plants of such varieties as "Early Baltimore," "Prairiana," "Pritchard," "Rutgers," "Indiana Baltimore" or "Illinois Baltimore" for canning and processing," Brock said. Lee A. Somers, extension vegetable specialist of the University of Illinois College of Agriculture, says that direct seeding may be done if it seems unlikely that good plants will be available for transplanting. "However, if this is done, it must be done very soon. The method is simple. First, prepare a fine seedbed, then sew the tomato seeds at the rate of twenty to twenty-five to each square foot in Shallow furrows. Do not allow the soil over the seeds to bake or harden. Thin the plants out when they are four to six inches high, but do not allow them to become long and stretchy.
