Confora to Foal Ship* Shoes for everyday wear should conform to the natural #apt of tfc* toot. Correct shoes ax* broad, straight along the inner edge, and rounded, not pointed, at the toes, so that there will be no pressure from the toe cap or seam. Heels should be nearly as broad at the bottom as at the top. If heels are too high or too narrow or If they slant too far forward, they may weaken the ankles and cause a wobbly walk and strained muscles. They throw the weight upon the. toes and the feet are jammed into the fore part of the shoe to cause bent toes, bruises, corns and weakened arches. Shoes should be fitted to the feet while a person stands for the feet are largest when the entire weight of the body is on them. There should be about a half-inch of empty space beyond the toes of the foot and the shoes. If new shoes fit correctly, they will be comfortable from the start and will not have\o be painfully "broken in." *\V*f utiiadLi TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY Want Ads on Page Six FOR SALE FOR SALE --- Circulating* heater, burns coal or wood, -6 to 6 room size.

Civil War Engagement In the hotly-contested battle ot Gettysburg, July 1, 2 and 8, 1863, General Lee's army of northern Virginia, about 70,000 strong, was defeated by the federal army of the Potomac, composed of about 93,500 men, wilder General Meade. On July 1 Hill's and Ewell's Confederate corps drove Union troops off Seminary ridge, through Gettysburg and back to Cemetery Ridga, Cemetery hill and Culpa hill. The following day Longstreet's corps drove the Union III corps, under Sickles, from an advanced position at the peach orchard back to Cemetery ridga and the Confederate army occupied Seminary ridge. About 3 p. m. c<n July 3 General Pickett led 15,000 Confederates in a daring charge across the valley between the two ridges, up the slopes of Cemetery ridge into murderous artillery and musket fire, but was forced back in defeat by the Philadelphia brigade. Fewer than 9,000 of Pickett's men got back to Confederate lines and Lee began the withdrawal of his men. Union losses were put at approximutely 23,000 while Confederate lot*** vara about 20,450. ~ 1 Rabbit Repellents Latest recommendations for tabbit repellents include aluminum sulphate spray composed of two tablespoonfuls of aluminum sulphate and one .tablespoonful of soap or some other spreader dissolved in a gallon of water, to be applied as a fine spray to vegetation attractive to rabbits.

If unable to buy Curtaining frith a waterproof finish, get a heavy, elbsely woven fabric such aa duck ticking or woven chambray. The average curtain is about aix feet square, so get four yards of material (unless you can get 72- inch width, which would require only two yards). Seam it down the middle with an overlap hem, and hem top and bottom. Put bottom hem an outside for a smooth,inside stirface. .Work eyelets in top about eight inchea apart to take plastic rings, now obtainable. Or, you can finish the top with a scalloped braid trim If you can find one with loops strong enough for the rings. Wash Machine Before you start washing get the machine ready. See that it stands level and'steady at a comfortable height. Some machines have casters that lock or caster cups to keep the machine from rolling. If the washer has been standing in a cold place, the oil or grease in an electric or engine-driven machine may be too stiff to lubricate the mechanism as it runs. In that case, bring the machine into a warm room for a few hours, or let the tub stand full of warm water for an hout before you start washing. Never pour hot water into a very cold porcelain enamel tub. Sudden changes In temperature may crack porcelain enamel".""" Bullfighting an Art Bullfighting is considered an ait as well aa a skill, and a torero in his rich gold-embroidered costume produces on the audience the same effect as a ballet dancer. "In the regular corrida sigf bulls are killed by three matadors- working alternately with their own subordinate team of picador* and banderilleros. When the bttil first comes in, be . Is played byx b§ndcrill?FO and matador with capesi. ' Then the mounted picadors enter, the bull charges them, oflen kills the horse but always gets a woynd in the shoulder muscle from the picador's lance. Next four pairs Of banderillas (barbed wooden shafts) are stuck into the top of the bull's neck by the banderilleros or, with musical accompaniment, by the matador himself. Then the matador takes the bull alone, plays him with the mukta( red^dtoth), kills him^with^a surrounded by a fffeoden grandstand. There, bullfighters await their turn, and to that alley, too, assistafita in the corrida sometimes jump to safety-- the matador himself, of course, •ever leaving the ring UBtU the buB has been killed. Uader the grandstand are stables for the bidls and horses and an Infirmary where doo» tors and nurses are abspjr*. in afc erattosjir war plants (Aahwttled M avtmi' d^ rectly benefiting agrtaifture. Other plants are eaqwetca to be ready aoon, or are available for similar use. Constructed by the RfC's subsidiary, the Defense Plant' corporation, for processing .domestically grown hemp to relieve tlfe critical shortage of cordage in the early months of the war, they are no longer required In the hemp program. The plants already have been turned over to the Farmers Union Grain Terminal Association of St. Paul--for custom drying of corn owned by individual farmers. One of the first lots of corn dried was 800 bushels having a moisture content of 35 per cent and valued by corn buyers at not over 10 cents a bushel. After drying, the corn was soldr for 90 cents a bushel. The cost of drying i$ estimated at between 6 and 10 cents a bushel. The drying capacity of the plants is estimated at 4,000 to 6,000 bushels per plant per day, the exact amount depending upon the original moisture content of the corn. The drying operation is simple. Ear corn is hauled to one end of the plant where it is placed on the conveyor. After going through the dryer, the corn goes to a sheller at the other end of the plant The cobs are used as fuel in the drying plant. It has been estimated that a fourth of all the corn in Minnesota is too wet to qualify for Commodity Gredit corporation loans or purchases. Commercial drying facilities have not been able to accommodate all of the wet corn. |l > lt l l M f t < HI 111 m--- Mb* Care Mutt Be Exercised In Handling Electricity For your personal safety, observe these measures: Don't tangle with wires, fixtures or appliances until you've made sure the electricity is shut off--either by pulling the main house switch, removing a fuse or unplugging the appliance. Don't handle any electrical appliance, pull a switch cord, touch a switch or plug in an outlet with wet hands. Wet flesh is a abetter conductor of electricity than copper wire. Don't stand on wet ground or concrete or on metal when plugging in or handling an appliance. Don't lay a hand--even a finger Hp--on any electrical appliance while you're having a soak in the tub, while you're touching any pipe or faucet or while you're in contact with the water in the washbasin. To safeguard, your home and equipment: Don't put pennies or tinfoil behind blown fuses. You run the risk of immediate electrocution. And you later run the risk at a meny bouse fire, ~ j* - *'f " f- * p it going peace comes.
