She said, "Frankly, I'm old enough to lie about it." Do you know why Hadacol hat ie name it has? They tell me ey Hadacol it something. Today, I saw how they take pictures for ads with a pretty girl on a tractor and all that. My good friend, Ben Caldwell of Crystal Lake, invited me to see them take pictures of the world champion pulling team of horses at Cedardell Farm, Piano, 111., try to move a Case model L.A. tractor with the new Ausco-Lamdouble disc brakes on it. They didn't move it. The girl--a pretty blond who, by the way, told me she has never ridden on a train, was on the tractor with her big foot on the brake. To keep the big team from 'going crazy they had to release the brake and let them move the tractor about every third pull. The photographer took a number jf pictures. •^Incidentally, the only difference between a professional photographer and me is that he takes a number of pictures to be sure he has a good one. I take one. It'B usually no good or only fair. He knows he can get a perfect picture, I know I can't.

S. While 32 per cent thought business was doing a good job of making the nation prosperous, less than one <af five thought labor unions were doing a good job. Fifty-six percent felt business profit was too Jngh and 61 per cent felt business was dealing fairly with farmers. Seventy-five percent of those contacted thought farmers cooperatives have helped farmers. Seventy percent of the farmers felt they had more confidence in au advertised product than in a non-advertised one. There is no question, but what farmers' cooperatives have helpfarmers. They have, however, tiever learned the importance of advertising.At least they have not spent as large a percentage of their profits for advertising. The average' farmer who knows very little about the value of his cooperative to him considers the patronage refund check he gets as advertising. The- cooperative feels the same way generally.

SUKVIVI9IO ATOMIC ATTACK Probably the most important picce of literature concerning our civil defense which has reached my desk is the Civil Defense Office's publication, "Survival Under Atomic Attack." I would like, in particular, to make public knowledge of the section of this booklet which is entitled "Six Survival Secrets for Atomic Attack." The recommendations listed under that section are: 1. TRY TO GET SHIELDED. If. you have time, get down in a basement or subway. Should you unexpectedly be caught out-of-doors, seek shelter alongside a building or jump into any handy ditch or gutter. 2. DROP FLAT ON GROUND OR FLOOR. To keep from being tossed about and to lessen the chances of being struck by falling and flying objects, flatten out at the base of a wall, or at the bottom of a bank. 3. BURY YOUR PACE IN YOUR ARMS. When you drop flat, hide your eyes in the crook of your elbow. That will protect your face from flash burns, prevent temporary blindness and keep flying objects out of your eyes. 4. DON'T RUSH OUTSIDE AFTER A BOMBING. After an air burst, wait a few minutes then go help to fight fires. After other kinds of bursts wait at least one hour to give lingering radiation some chance to die down. 5. DONT TAKE CHANCES WITH FOOD OR WATER IN OPEN CONTAINERS. To prevent radioactive poisoning or disease, select your food and water with care When there is reason to believe they may be contaminated, stick to canned and bottled things if possible. 6. DON'T START RUMORS. In the confusion that follows a bombing. a single rumor might touch off a panic that could cost your life. We should all know these rules by memory. Hoping that we never have to apply them will not pro* tect us if we are under atomic attack. Your military, police and public health forces are preparing on an emergency basis to help Illinois citizens should we be bombed, but, it remains yoiir duty to yourself, your family and your community to learn to protect yourself.

William*, nationally known bioeheraist of the University of Texas, deelSred as the sixth southwest regional meeting- of the America* Chemical society held at San Antonio, Texas. Describing a recent series of experiments on rats, in which the animals were studied as individuals rather than as types. Professor TO liams said the rats were found to differ widely in their tendencies to drink alcohol--some becoming drunkards, some moderate drinkers, and some remaining teetotalers. "When an an ordinary stock diet. ' he reported, "some drank heavily from the first. Some started in easy and built up their liquor consumption during a period of weeks or months. Some drank spasmodically and some drank moderately over a long period of time. So Tie were teetotalers and would not drink at all in spite of the fact thit they were forced to make a deliberate choice." The investigators found that these differences "have a genetic basis, but that they also have 9 nutritional basis," according to Professor Williams, who said: "Rats can be made to drink or be abstainers, depending on their diet." Recommending that the same approach be applied to the study of human alcoholism, he said: "Man doesn't become alcoholic-- only certain individuals. The cause for the alcoholism has, as we be> lieve, genetic roots and nutritional roots, and very fortunately we are convinced that in many cases it can be treated nutritionally so that the tremendous urge is abolished Prospective Blind Men It Is estimated that 220,000 persons in the United States may become blind during the next tea years unless preventive steps are taken. Half of this number can avoid blindness if known methods of prevention are used, and others could be saved by additional visual research. Prepare Metal Serface Before painting a metal surface that has any grease or oil on it, clean it thoroughly with benzine or mineral spirits. All new galvanised metal surfaces should be treated. A solution can be used which is made by adding eight ounces of either copper acetate or copper sulphate to a gallon of warm water in an earthenware or glass container. A liquid manufactured for the purpose may also be employed. The solution should be applied with a brush and allowed to dry on the surface bettrr proceeanf -wnr turprwiing coat.

It wae Just 100 years ago that veterinarians first reported successful use of anesthetics for operations on animals. The development came a short time after physicians and dentists began to use nitrous oxide, ether, and chloroform In eliminating the pain of human surgery. Veterinary medical leaders say that the introduction of anesthesia in veterinary medicine stands as one of the most important advances in man's age-old fight against the ailments of livestock and pets. Horses and dogs were the first animal patients for anesthesia Horses were put to sleep with chloroform during operations for lameness. and a dog was anesthetized for removal of growths in its mouth. An early bar te use of anesthetics was failure to properly restrain the patient. After inhaling ether, horses sometimes went wild, endangering the lives of the veterinarian and onlookers. In recent years, new types of anesthesia have been developed which put animals to sleep gradually, without violence or nervous reactions. Nerve blocking is being used now for such common farm operations as dehorning, thereby saving animals much pain and distress. - a tip (torn our \ "Don't - get s- stung" DEPARTMENT Perhaps soontr than you know It youll need » n«w supply ol snvelopts, letter heeds, or business forms.
