Gould's Million Dollar FREE Circus 60 Exhibits -- Nine Rides -- Five Shows in the Heart of Marengo FREE PARKING Cleaned Out A menu wasn't necessary at a small country boarding-house because the food was the same every day. Corn flakes for breakfast, fried fish for lunch and boiled eggs for dinner. It got so monotonous that the boarders complained. "Well, what else can I serve?" the landlady inquired. "How about some meat, maybe sausages, for a change?" suggested one of the boarders. "But how do you cook sausages?" the landlady wanted to know. "I never cooked them before." Neither had the boarder, but he felt he knew how they should be done. "Why don't you cook them the same way yOu do the fish?" he suggested. That evening the boarders sat at the table with moist lips as the landlady brought in a steaming and fragrant platter. Their disappointment was intense, though, when the cover was lifted pnd a shriveled-up mass of brown stuff greeted their eyes. The landlady couldn't help but see her boarders' long faces. "They don't look so good, do they?" she murmured. "But after all, you must remember that there isn't much left when these things have been cleaned." •» Iim PtMt to RmmmIm ' Whtn Btfflnt Weel Clip ' If wool growers expect to receive a premium price for their 1949 wool clip, then they ishould exorcise caution and care at the shearing pens in putting up their clip, advises Berry N. Duff, Colorado A. & M. extension sheep and wool specialist. Some of the important "don'ts" and "musts," continues Duff, that should be followed by wool growers if they expect to package and ^market a quality clip, are: (1) If belly wools are defective (containing burrs and needle grass) they should be shorn and sacked separately from the balance of the fleece. (2) Cut out black sheep and shear them last. Do not pack black fleeces in the same bag with other fleeces, (3) Shearing should be done on concrete or wood floors. If at all possible, keep "holding pens" sprinkled down. (4) Keep shearing floor swept clean of tags, sweat locks, face and leg wools. Put the "sweepings" in a separate bag and under no conditions should they be put in with the fleeces. This applies to heavy tags and dung locks also. (5) Use /only regular wool fleece paper twine for tying fleeces and never use binder twine. There is usually a penalty of five cents a pound against a clip when anything but regular fleece twine is used. (6) Tie -fleeces well, but not too tight and always with the flesh side out. (7) Never shear or sack wet or damp wool. (8) Keep bags from being rolled or piled on the ground. Keep t>ags out of weather and under cover. > , Bacon Does It Make your lunchtime salad bowl extra tempting by adding bits of crisp bacon.

T I R E SALE We are sailing out our wmplete stock of Certain Barnyard Diets Play Hob with Hen Egfs Ever try green scrambled eggs? If you are interested, you can get the necessary hen fruit in Yorkshire, England, where .jome barnyard biddies have been acting up lately. They're laying eggs with green yolks. What's more, the eggs are good for you. The behavior of the British chickens may sound a little fantastic at first, but the explanation is quite simple, notes the National Geographic Society. The color of the egg yolk is 'controlled by the diet of the layer. A yolk will turn out to be a light yellow by keeping chickens away from greens, yellow corn, and all but a little alfalfa. A richer shade of yellow, sometimes red-orange, may be obtained by feeding heavily on yellow corn and alfalfa.. But an overdose in tqe hen's dief of such barnyard "delicacies" a| fresh greens, cottonseed ptieal, or acorns from certain typei of oajc trees, will make' her egg an out? cast. It will show up wfth th4 greenish-colored yolk that has some Yorkshire farmers looking askance at their flocks these day&. Nutritionally, eggs with green yolks are just as' good fpr hum^js consumption as those with light or orange-yellow ones. But man's eating habits have accustomed him to the yellow yolk, which doesn't leave much market for other shades.

The Washington family home is only a few miles from Stratford • upon - Avon and stood there centuries before the Bard traded genius lor applause. Sulgrave Manor, in fact, is first mentioned In the Domesday Book In 1086 and later belonged to the Priory- of St Andrew of Northampton until seised by the Crown in 1539. In the same year Henry VIII turned his attention temporarily from matrimony to real estate and sold the jfroperty to Lawrence Washington, who built the present house. His descendants continued to live there for the next 120 years and It was Lawrence's great-great grandson, Colonel John Washington, who left England in 1656 to manage the land In Virginia, now Mount V e r n o n . : • V C : - • • Quarts Crystals A threatened shortage at large quarts crystals essential for radar and radio transmitters has been averted by discovery of a process tor making the crystals syntheti- :! Meetly Abest Prega v There are frogs that live both in and out of the water; some that* live only in the water, and stjn others that never leave the land, depending on rainfall for their necessary moisture. Certain frogs, equipped with spade-shaped feet, lead an almost hermit life, burrowing into the ground like moles. The "flying frog" of Borneo leaps spectacularly from tree to tree. One tropical frog lays- its eggs in the rain-filJfd crevices of tall palms, sometimes 60 or more feet high. Another carefully builds i circular wall of mud in a stream or pond, enclosing a sheltered nursery where the young can hatch. Chemistry at Altltades Transformation of boiling water Into ice takes place at high altitudes where the boiling point of the liquid falls below what would be its freezing point on the ground. Laboratory tests, in which high altitudes are simulated, show Ice forming in boiling water at approxlmately 116,000 feet. The piece of ice appears in the center of the boiling, bubbling water. It grows rapidly land, almost as if by magic, the water is transformed into solid ice. Dr. D. J.
