Relieved by Modern Way
At the first sniffle or sneeze of a head-
cold, many young mothers now rub om
PENETRO for quick-acting relief... so
clean and white, so pleasant to use—and
so effective! PENETRO’S modern-
type, medicated vapors release at once to
help open up the nostrils and soothe
upper breathing passages, clear the head,
help quiet coughing of colds.
PENETRO GIVES YOU the home-
approved mutton suet feature; and sci-
entific medication rubs in to help break
up the local congestion and relieve
muscular soreness, if a chest cold devel-
ops. And Penetro keeps on working for
hours, encourages restful sleep. Modem
mothers everywhere are changing from
old-fashioned remedies to clean, white

Gassing Proves Safe
In Eliminating Rats
In rural districts, cities and farms
where poisoning rats might be haz-
ardous to animals and children,
trapping and gassing are valuable
supplements to clean-up and rat-
proofing methods, points out Harold
Hunderson, Iowa State college. Gas-
sing with calcium cyanide is a quick
and easy method of killing rats
under tight floors and in under-
ground burrows. The calcium cya-
nide should be used in a gas gun
and blown with force throughout the
entire system.

Bumper Cranberry
Crop Is Harvested
WASHINGTON. — Turkey eaters,
honing their appetites this holiday
season, will not want for tangy cran-
berry sauce, for another bumper
crop of the tart berry that adds
tradition as well as zest to holiday
feasts has been harvested in the
Cape Cod district.
True to form, the Cape Cod sector
again will supply about two-thirds
of the nation’s cranberry supply.
Occasionally, as in 1944, the Cape
Cod crop falls short of expectations
and the berry is scarce in the na-
tion’s grocery stores.
Thousands of harvesters, working
with slotted scoops and nimble fin-
gers through the fall months, have
combed the nation’s bogs to gather
more than 800,000 barrels. The crop
is second only to the 1937 output of
877,300 barrels. In 1942 as well as
in 1937, Massachusetts marshes pro-
duced a few thousand barrels more
than their estimated total of 550,000
barrels for the present crop.
More than $50,000,000 is'invested
in the scientific, business of growing
and processing cranberrj.es. The in-
dustry puts to use about 50 square
miles of land that previously lay
waste, unsuited to any other type of
agriculture. The new crop, worth
about $9,000,000, will reach stores in
the form of sauce, juice and dehy-
drated fruit, as well as in raw fruit
form.

Corn kings, wheat kings and hay
queens will be competing against
corn princes, wheat princes and hay
princes. The junior division is al-

Chester Whites originated in
Chester county, Pennsylvania, and
are believed to have descended
from a cross of English hogs, York-
shire, Lincolnshire and Cheshire.
The breed is prolific, has a good
disposition, early maturing and good
feeder. White in color, they are
also exceptionally good dressers.
Six months’ boars weigh 225
pounds; gilts, 200 pounds; yearling
boars, 500 pounds; gilts, 400 pounds.
Mature boars will weigh 900 pounds
and sows 700 pounds.
Boars are rugged, with head fea-
tures, bone and primary sex char-
acters well developed. Sows are
refined in head and hair coat, roomy
of middle with well developed ud-
ders. The hair is straight and
fine, particularly on sows.
it possible for the Safgard home
dairyman, no mat- type of pas-
ter how small his teurizer.
herd, to pasteurize the milk he pro-
duces.
To meet U. S. public health re-
quirements, the temperature of the
milk is held at 143 degrees usually
for 30 minutes, after which cooling
is accomplished by either flowing
cold watr through the unit or by
placing the milk container in a cool-
ing tank.
Dairymen will find, in most locali-
ties, that they can ■ increase their
profits as well as insuring the health
of their customers by selling only
pasteurized milk. Portable units
now on the market will permit
farmers, who do not market to
creamery units, to provide pasteur-
ized milk.

It takes rugged strength,
quickness, intelligence and
courage to make a soldier in
America’s peacetime Regu-
lar Army.
Young men who can mea-
sure up to the Army’s high
physical and mental stand-
ards are finding in it a wide
variety of interesting and
stimulating jobs.
The Regular Army is a
gigantic research laboratory,
constantly developing fresh
scientific discoveries in the
fields of aviation, medicine,
engineering and communica-
tion, to mention only a few.
Qualified men are finding in
it the groundwork of a use-
ful and valuable career, as
well as the opportunity to
help guard world peace.
Their abilities and achieve-
ments deserve the respect
of every citizen of this
country.

won the grand championship a total
of nine times to date.
Bidding on all classes is ex-
pected to hit a new high. There
even are hopes that the winner
of the grand champion will re-
ceive more than the $40,000 giv-
en the winner at the Kansas
City show.
Entries in the sheep department
will pass the 900 head record, with
exhibits from at least 20 states. Short-
downs are usually numerically the
largest, closely followed by Shrop-
shires and Hampshires.
Stress Wool Show.
To encourage production of better
wool, to stimulate interest in proper
preparation of wool for market and
to ascertain commercial grading of
fleeces of the various breeds, spe-
cial emphasis is being placed on
the wool show.
This year’s barrow show is expect-
ed to surpass all previous exhibitions
in interest and size. This is attrib-
uted to postwar production condi-
tions and increased interest among
boys and girls. Bulk of the entries
will come from the Corn Belt region.
By counting the carlot entries as
individuals, nearly 2,500 hogs will be
entered in the international. Many
of the entries will be shown by
leading colleges of the nation, as in
the case of cattle and sheep en-
tries.
There may be fewer horses on
the farms than 10 years ago but
entries at the International will
indicate no shortage. Draft
horses from many states and
Canada will compete for the val-
uable list of awards. Draft geld-
ing show will be particularly
strong. Breeders are reporting
a greatly revived interest in
horse breeding, which has en-
couraged the breeders to display
their wares.

famed International, universally i
heralded as the “world’s greatest” i
livestock exposition, in the same
amphitheatre setting, on November
30. The exposition, ranked as one
of the leading exponents for live-
stock improvement, was disbanded
during war years.
Revival of the International after
the wartime lapse will be marked
by color and fanfare at opening day
ceremonies in the amphitheatre,
which is the largest’structure in the
world devoted to livestock exposi-
tions. The show will continue until
December 7.
Improved Show Seen.
All indications are that the 1946
international will far excel the one
held in 1941 in all respects. Missing,
however, will be B. H. Heide, for
years general manager of the show.
William E. Ogilvie, former assist-
ant manager, who has been identi-
fied with the International more than
20 years, will serve as manager for
1946.
With exhibitors registered
from every state, the entry list
may surpass the previous high
of 13,149 animals representing
all leading breeds and breeders
of North America. In addition
the junior department, including
the 4-H club, will be represented
by 2,000 young breeders.
The National Boys’ and Girls’ 4-H
Club congress is ah important fea-
ture of the International. Many of
the grand champion awards are car-
ried away by the youngsters in com-
petition with their elders. In addi-
tion, junior contests are held for the
various breeds, as well as for meat
animals, garden, girl’s record, cloth-
ing, food preparation, canning, better
methods of electrical use, home
beautification, achievement, leader-
ship, poultry, dairy foods, field crops
and frozen foods. Four-H boys also
will take part in the sheep shearing
contest.
Big Money to Winners.
Chicago packers have available
nearly six million dollars, which
will be used to purchase prize ani-
mals exhibited at the International.
More than $100,000 in prizes for fat-
test steers, hogs and sheep also will
be given the winners.
Recognizing the importance of in-
teresting young men in the study
and improvement of breeds, special :
PROSPECTIVE POLICY
WASHINGTON.—With Republican
leaders gathering in the capital to
begin organizing their own G.O.P.-
ruled congress for the first time in
16 years, here is a merry-go-round
view of what the country can expect
during the next two years:
FOREIGN POLICY — On the sur-
face there./ will be no outward
change. Later, however, important
changes will become apparent. The
British already are worried over our
swing to the right.
BUDGET—The three largest ex-
penditures of government are for
army-navy, veterans and service on
the national debt. These can’t be
pruned — unless the Republicans
want to cut down the army and
navy, which they are not likely to
do. Easiest pruning job, therefore,
is on foreign loans and relief.
UNRRA will be the first to go. A
200 million dollar loan to Italy,
planned by Truman, will be ditched
next. Other loans to European and
Latin American countries will be
axed.
This is where one change in”
foreign policy comes in. The
Italian loan was planned in or-
der to help struggling Italian
democracy and prevent Italy’s
swing to Russian Communism.
Midwest Republicans, many of
them still privately isolationist,
will veto this.
However, the end of several war-
time expenditures such as price sub-
sidies and service separation pay-
ments should permit balancing the
budget.
TAXES—Despite current talk of
tax relief for small wage earners,
there will be only minor tax cuts.
One of two things will happen. Ei-
ther expenditures will be such as to
forbid major tax reduction. Or a
cut will be made in the lower brack-
ets, after which G.O.P. congress-
men, pressured by higher-bracket
groups, won’t be able to resist the
temptation to get aboard the gravy
train. If they add tax reduction .for
the higher brackets, it means that
Truman will veto the bill.
TARIFFS — Midwest Republicans
would like to go back to the old
Hoover high tariffs. Some of the
eastern Republicans from manufac-
turing regions will go along with
them. If they get going in earnest,
however, there will be a stalemate.
Truman will veto.
LABOR—One Republican faction
favors immediate and outright re-
peal of the entire Wagner act. How-
ever, they know this would bring a
veto and that the veto probably
would be sustained. Another G.O.P.
group wants to avoid antagonizing
labor. Certain AFL leaders, espe-
cially John L. Lewis and Bill Hutch-
inson, carpenters’ boss, helped them
win the election, and they want to
keep labor happy for 1948. Therefore,
the following compromise is prob-
able :
1. The Case bill will be passed
once again, and this time will
become law. Even if Truman
vetoes, which is doubtful, south-
ern Democrats and the strong
G.O.P. majority will be able to
override the White House.
2. Senator Ball’s bill, putting labor
unions under the anti-trust laws,
also will be adopted.
IMMIGRATION—Republicans are
traditionally hostile to immigration
and minority groups, and the house
immigration committee now is in-
herited by Rep. Noah Mason of Illi-
nois, well-known witch-hunter. Dis-
placed persons in Europe will get
little comfort from Mason. A re-
vived and stronger “Dies commit-
tee” can be expected—probably in
both houses of congress.
AGRICULTURE — No major
change in the farm program is in
prospect for the next two years.
However, you will hear the same
cry for parity prices on farm prod-
ucts. Co-ordination of all farm
agencies will be demanded.
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK — Prices
generally will rise during the next
six months, although not so rapidly,
and with some commodities such as
food and textiles dropping in the
winter. Food prices should slump
after the Argentine and Australian
crops are harvested in February.
Clothing and furniture prices should
come down soon, certainly after
Christmas. Autos will remain’
scarce for some time.
Rent control will be dumped with-
in about six months, although the
Republicans will be too smart to re-
peal it outright. They will pass the
buck back to the individual states,
which will mean the virtual end of
rent controls, since state legislatures
are notoriously susceptible to real-
estate lobbies.
That, in brief, is the future G.O.P.
congressional picture.

CAPITAL CHAFF
The big brass of the navy depart-
ment has been pleadir g with Adm.
W. M. Miller, retired, now TWA vice
president, to return to his old job
as chief of public information. But
it’s no dice. Miller quit because of
meddling advice from Vice Admiral
Carpender. . . . Death in office is
the only thing that has ever removed
a president of the United States
while serving his term. Andrew
Johnson escaped impeachment by
one vote in 1868, but no president
has ever resigned.

Isolation Urged for
Control of Newcastle
Newcastle disease, the new virus
disease of chickens and turkeys, is
still a serious problem. Very little
is known in regard to this disease.
The most serious cause of spread of
Newcastle disease seems to be
contact between birds, according to
Washington station officials. Poul-
trymen are urged that birds which
have been diagnosed to have New-
castle be kept in strict isolation and ;
sanitary means practiced. i
