Cleopatra Used Incense Hie earliest form of perfume was incense composed of powdered flowers, "leaves, woods, spices, and aromatic resins. Although it was first burned in religious worship, the custom was found so pleasant that the occasion* for its use became more and mon» diversified. 'Tig said that the ancient incense Cleopatra burned on Marc Anthony's visits smelled like rose jasmine with a suggestion of the Oriental. And in the glorious days of Rome lovers made a fetish of fragrance in all its known forms including the burning of incense. When the Crusaders brought rare attars and incense from Jerusalem, noble ladies of Europe permeated their boudoirs witb these exotic fragrances. Nigeria's Greatest Asset Oil from palm trees is one most valuable products of Nigeria exported all over the world. By W. H. Tammeus "Capitalism -- Socialism -- Communism --' a comparison of economic systems," is the name of a very interesting leaflet from Michigan State College. It doesn't state, however, that in capitalism you borrow the money to buy a cow, milk her, pay off the loan from the sale of milk from the cow and you shoot the bull with your creditor everytime you make a payment. In socialism the governrrtent sells you the cow, you milk her, turn the milk over to the government except what the planners decide you can skimp along on, and you shoot the bull with the neighbors who are in the same fix you are. In communism the government owns the c6w, you milk her, turn the milk over to the government and then they shoot you. According to this publication, Russia has a socialistic form of government because communism has not worked in its pure form. morning a copy of the proclamation by Governor Stevenson making Oct. 5 to 11 as fire prevention week. Just what is the idea of fire prevention week or any set aside week ? It gives special reason to talk about it. Farm fires art usually complete conflagrations--usually the only thing saved is the barn lot. A 3,000 gallon cistern underground and filled from the gutter run off from the barn and other outbuildings is worth its weight in gold. By the way, I tried promoting this type of thing one time when I was farm fieldman for the Portland Cement association by cooperating with local fire protection districts, but, the only place we even got a slight bit of interest was in a community where there had been a recent bad farm fire. People will simply just not interest themselves in fire prevention on the farm. This is caused 1871 with a loss of 1,152 lives, the Minnesota forest fires in 1918, with 559 losing their lives, the Boston night club fire in 1942, killing 492, and the 1947 Texas city waterfront fire, where 468 were killed.

Last year the department fed 30,000 works for and receives from the group equally, just doesn't work because of the peculiarity of human beings. Humans are animals no more, no less, and live by the survival of the fittest. Pride of ownership is one of the strongest of human traits outside of trying to save your own neck. If a government is so operated that it remains the servant of the people rather than their master then the people exercise the ownership of property and we have democracy. As soon as government becomes master then it becomes a burden to own property because of high tax and the people willingly accept socialism--at least the majority of them do. That works until an absolute dictator comes along. Then you have communism-- only as a promise, however. We received in the mail this Erom where I sit Joe Marsh Our Town Wouldn't Take a "Back Seat" Well, the "battle of the bases" has been settled! Our town is again friendly with Balesville. Everything started when buses began going through our town with a big sign on them saying SHOP IN BALESVILLE. The bus line is owned in Balesville and operates over here on a franchise. Windy Taylor was all for putting up barricades--he kept calling up the police and the bus company. Finally Judge Cunningham invited the Balesville Chamber of Commerce to meet with ours at Andy's Garden Tavern. Over a good meal and glass of beer we all reached a compromise without any trouble. Those signs now read SHOP HERE IN TOWN. Everyone's happy. From where I sit, it shows how problems disappear once both sides get together and try to work things oat. Naturally we're all a little different. Some like soda pop, for instance, and some like beer. So what? We all have to ride along through life together. Why not make it • pleasant trip?
