Sell Bulk of Wai** Surplus This Year Billions of Dollars9 Wqrth to Be D i s p o s e d O f . WASHINGTON. -- The bulk of bit lions of dollars' worth of surpl army and navy goods all over the world will be sold by the end of the year, Thomas B. McCabe, foreign liquidation commissioner, said recently. # Some estimates have placed the ultimate total of surpluses overseas as high as 14 billion dollars, but FLC officials believe this figure may be too high by half. The surplus goods are piling up every day, however, with a peak expected this spring. In J anuary, in the European theater of operations alone, 300 million dollars worth of material was declared surplus. Up until January 19, FLC figures show, the army and navy had declared as surplus, materials which, originally worth 750 million dbllars, have been sold for approximately 3S7 million dollars, a return of better than SO per cent. There remains an inventory of goods worth about 880 million dollars. McCabe said the 1,614 million dollar figure is misleading because it represents original cost, whereas much of the material has been used. Much of it, he added, is useless for civilian purposes. He said the material fell into two categories--" cream" and "dodos." "Cream," McCabe explained, includes items which are desirable for civilian use, such as clothing or food, and which bring high returns. "Dodos" are at the other end of the scale. The prime "dodo" so far appears to be the "Bailey bridge," the mobile, prefabricated device for fording streams in enemy territory. McCabe said also that the return on aircraft, which make up a large part of the surplus, is extremely small. ' Luther Burbaiik, born in Massachusetts In 1848, died in Santa Rosa in 1916. . During his working lifetime "ie contributed or introduced more its than any other single Amerin our history. Many of his luctions have been of great im- •e to agriculture, past and present. He was not connected with a learned institution and had little scientific training. While engaged as a market gardener in Massachusetts about 1870, he attempted to improve his vegetables by crossing varieties, but because he did not then know the importance of continuing his crosses the second and third generations, his early efforts failed. He is perhaps best known for the development of the Bur bank potato, which with further imprtfTCtqents is now the famous Idaho potato. The developments of plums were, however, hia most valuable contribution. Like Thomas Edison, Burbank was a self-made man. He had about 11 years of school before the death of his father. When he sold his Burbank potato, he took the money and, braving family disapproval, migrated to California in 1875. He introduced over 200 varieties of fruits alone, consisting of apples, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, fruiting cacti, cherries, figs, grapes, nectarines, peaches,^ pears and pi"T,' - um I H M l H t l l I I I I 111 I 'M1 Between Classes 'fr'ffr'H"!11"{"I I (By Marie Hopkins) The senior play, which was given last week, brought many compli- ! ments from the grown-ups.

Often the faded color, spots and wear that make a skirt look worn are only surface deep and the other side may look fresh and new. Subscribe for The Plaindealer V , DON A.

PWs on Their Way Home Taught Our Way of Life WASHINGTON. - The army disclosedi recently workings of a plan whereby hand-picked prisoners of war are given an intensive course in the principles of democracy and sent back to Germany or Austria as free men. Already 16,000 prisoners have received the six-day indoctrination at Fort Eustis, Va. Another 1,258 were rejected because they failed to meet qualifications. Former Nazis and professional army men are barred. "Valedictorian" of a class graduated was a 30-year-old German. He described democracy as "the belief in a supreme, inalienable dignity and certain inviolable rights due to every human being regardless of his physical or spiritual abilities, his religion, nationality, race, "profession or class." Lt. Col. Alpheus W. Smith, commander of the project and former associate professor at Northwestern 'university, told the men: "When you get back home, re member that you are not alone. Everywhere in the world there are people who are on our side. And our side is the right side." "Veep Coids Free Mr. and Mrs. Syd Smith enjoyed. floor.
