It seems that when Jim stpped into a Chicago restaurant for a bite to eat, his eyes met a sign that read: "Please be courteous to our help. They are harder to get than customers." -It- Something wrong In Denmark: Frances Peterson has some pigeons that recently hatched out some cute, little bantams.

We say a large squadULefs clarify that remark. Coach Reed has a large squad of' boys, but not a squad of larxe boys. - HI-, Now, it should be clear as mud in )Wr minds. In fact, we could see the possibilities of developing a strong lightweight team. Class sticks right out in a few boys who haven't the size to bump up against many heavyweight, or so-called first teams, in the land. -II-- Well, you might say, "What about Peterson ?"--And, we'd have to admit that Glenn is big enough to take care of himself in any company.

TEN-DAY PHEASANT SEASON WILL CLOSE ON NOVEMBER 19TH It is generally accepted that a team can get along in basketball with one or two short men. Height is needed in controlling the ball, especially oa rebounds. --B--" Another Whiting conies Into the basketball picture. As we saw George shifting around the floor, our thoughts naturally went back to ttie days when In spite of sugar rationing the government is encouraging the home canning of more fruit to improve •family diets and health, and to help relieve the country's wartime transportation load. Home economists suggest ways to stretch sugar in canning. Can more fruit and preserve less. Canning fruit or Juice requires less sugar than making jellies, jams, marmalades and preserves. Fruit or fruit juice may be canned suc- "r-kcessfully with little or no sweeten- L & FruiT may also be canned with just enough sugar-sirup in each jar to give a slightly sweet flavor and the rest of the space filled with juice. Cook fruit in an open kettle to draw out the juice, and then pack hot and cover with hot juice. Mild-flavored sirups like honey or corn sirup may be used in canning fruit. Honey or corn sirup may be substituted for as much as half the sugar in canning, but a larger proportion of sirup will mask the delicate fruit flavor--as will a sirup with a distinctive flavor, such as maple, sorghum, or molasses. Saccharine, a coal tar product with a very sweet taste, cannot be used in canning because it becomes bitter when heafed. Suitable ftt VctaRf ^e, characteristics of low cost and operating etofcomy o{ a new hot water and steam boiler make it particularly suitable for defense homes built for two or more families.

These include air cooled handles, foot treadle door openers, and a new type of grata shaker located conveniently at the | side. Concealed hinges add to the beauty of the unit which is suitable | for use with all fuels, automatic i or hand-fired. i The New WatBot SheO Game Walnut shells, formerly a waste product, are now being ground and used in a variety of ways. Commercial uses for the ground shells include hard and soft rubber compounds, linoleums, felt roofing paper, synthetic resin plastics, flooring and stairway mixes, abrasivt soaps, filler in dynamite, and aircell voids in fire bricks.

As Rubber Source A native American plant, which for years has been of minor importance as a source of rubber, may be coming into its own in the emergency. The lowly desert shrub guayule (the pronunciation "wy-OO-lay" is about as close as English can come to the Spanish word) got the green light in March, 1942, when congress authorized the department of agriculture to develop the plant as a source of rubber for the United Nations. Cultivation of guayule--now almost entirely a wild plant--is the essence of the program, says Dr. E. W. Brandes, in charge of rubber inories that date back a little farther.

Hunters are warned that there is still some "rabbit fever" to contend with and great care should be exercised while dressing the little animals. Duck huntrers thus far have been having little luck. Some hunters who have favorite ponds or sloughs where ducks have been hatched during the summer have reported good shooting on the first few days of the season. Reports from the Illinois river state planned, but Dr. Brandes points „ . , out that guayule can be grown suc- ^ T*?' I-cessfully only^ in the western and southwestern parts of the United States and in the countries south of it. The immediate program, he says, : calls for maintenance of the present 560 acres of plantings in the Salinas valley of California; additional commercial plantings as soon as an increased seed supply permits; and test plantings to find suitable producing areas in California, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and in Mexico; also tests in Argentina, Chile, and M.

At one time, a few weeks after organizing, it was even thought that the membership would have to be closed. Now, however, with more of its young men leaving for serviec, the club will welcome new members for ' the next few weeks for it is the desire that the membership be kept to thirty. As the club gets well started in its third year, it can be recalled that several of its star athletes have already been forced to drop out to join Uncle Sam's fighting army. Among these were George Kinsala, Art Smith, Vernon Freund, Norbert Mauch, Jim Newkirk, Vernon Kramer and Ralph Primm. This week they are losing Melvin Gladstone and Le- Roy Hettemann. May the extra muscle acquired through physical activity in the club give them an extra ptrnch. on the battlefront. Aid to Russia ' All British munitions of war sent to Russia have been sent under lendlease. Up to the end of June, 1942, practically all aid promised by Britain liad been sent. This aid includes tanks, anti-aircraft guns, ammunition, radio equipment, machine tools, medical supplies, food and Vitally needed raw materials. Koob's 557 and Ptetie Schaefert 524 led the parade as Meister Brau won two from Althoffs. „ Another two pins would have given Charlie Do we a 500 mark. 18-19 YEAR OLD MEN, ENLIST AND CHOOSE BRANCH OF SERVICE Men of 18 and 19, you now have an outstanding opportunity under new by one lonely pin army regulations.

Aids General Good Health Foods rich in vitamin C are citrus fruit, tomatoes, cabbage, and most foods just out of the garden. This vitamin aids general good health and helps the body resist infections. Vitamin C is of special value in wartime because it helps wounds heal quickly. Soldiers lacking in this vitamin tire more easily than men but the pay-off comes on games. Bill RochifUsrii 506 series was the standout. Zjjvia . » . Regner*s team won two games from Blake's in a match that found the teams separated by only 19 pins. Guffey's 202 game put over the one game win for the Blake's.

PALAOS Old Timer#-- "Uncle Ed's" boys were the hottest team on the alleys in this league, rolling a 2407 against the Adams five. "Uncle Ed" showed the way with 544, but had a strong supporting cast. Joe Schmitt (that's Janitor Joe), led off with 519 and George Johnson was only two pins off the 400 mark. Floyd Covalt paced the Rogers outfit with 510 pins as th$y took Nick Freund's team into camp. C. O. F. -- The Thennes pin-busters rolled up a neat total of 2528 pins, led by "Speed" Stilling's 546, to beat Capt. Ed Smith's team. Fred Meyers was right up there with 610. Winkel started strong, with 202 in a 500 series, but had to give way to his teammate, "Prof." Nye, for honors. The ' rock" merchant piled up a grand total of 567 pins in beating Gus Freund's aggregation. , Match --• A mixed team from 8prfng Grftve, led by Marie Lay's 457 series, won from the Mi Place girls last Sunday.

The sunlight or cod-liver oil vitamin D is more important to children than to adults but nutrition scientists believe that many of the young men rejected by the army for poor teeth, flat feet, and malformed bones have these defects because they went short on sunshine or fish-liver oil when they were babies and children. Food for the army is about as important as ammunition but it is only recently that authorities have come to realize how the vitamins in wartime rations may affect the success of an army and even, come of a war, •*.

Whether northern ducks will pass through this vicinity on their southward flight is anybody's guess, but if they don't hunters will have little duck shooting for the remainder of the season. Laws 'Agin' Smoking in Bed, Cum ing, Smoking You can't swear in Elkton, Md. A city ordinance of June 1, 1936, made the use of improper speech "in or about business premises" punishable by fine or imprisonment and held the proprietors of buildings responsible. Likewise in Burnsville, W. Va., Mayor C. E. Whytsell decreed a fine for all who could not curb their speech. The mayor of Keoaauqua, IoWa, the same month, issued a ukase to his 1,000 citizens that they must not smoke in bed. Despite an almost embarrassing proximity to the night club, supersophisticated city of New York, the, puritan aldermen of Yonkers have banned the wearing at shorts by the fair and sometimes fat sex. The reason was moral, not a gesture of transcendental esthetics. In Brea, Ohio, an ancient but still unrepealed statute makes it illegal for you to take your dog or cat out after dark without a red light on the animal's tail. Whiskers, "complete or partial," are illegal in Los Angeles, but beards are standard equipment required by the laws of Brainerd, Minn., and Centralia, Wash., according to the scholarly researches of Dick Hyman whose mad compilations are called "It's the Law." An ancient statute makes it illegal to play the fiddle in Boston or to own a dog more than 10 inches high. "It is against the law in the state of Virginia to have a bathtub inside a house; same shall be in the yard." Ordnance Plant Railroad ~ Ona large U.

Sixty thousand tons of railings have been collected--enough to make 600 15- inch naval guns.
