The New Year bells will soon
sing, get your heart in tune with
the occasion.
Our announcement column will
open next week. There will ap-
parently be a large crop—better
pay your poll tax earlyP so you
can injoy the fun.
This is the last issue of the year
1933, a year that has brought
more radical' change than any
other for several decades perhaps.
President Roosevelt was inaugur-
ated and begun his program for
improvement in the first of 1933
and is putting over some things
that would have been impossible
a short time ago.
The next issue begins the New
Year, and may it bring to each
and every one of our readers
peace and prosperity—may the
Great Giver be mindful of us alt.

The only way to successfully
eombat contageous and infectious
diseases of livestock, is to keep
biologic immunising agents in
the hands of trained persons.
Merely mustering courage to
thrust a needle through the skin
of an animal, injecting a material
that is immunizing under certain
hard conditions and harmful
under other certain herd condi-
tions can only prove a failure.
I will mention a few of many
diseases, in which harm can be
done by an attempt, to immunize:
f Hemorrhagic - septicemia and
blackleg (of young animals) are
two diseases in which harm can
be done by using an immunizing
agent under certain herd condi-
tions in which that particular
agent is not indicated.
Hog eholerais another disease
ia which a great deal of harm can
be done by vaccinating with hog} ~
cholera vims under certain herd
conditions.
It is absolutly necessary to as-
certain the condition of animals
to be immunized if one expects to
have any degree of success No
untrained person can by examina-
tion ascertain the various diseased
processes of animals. — Allied

tific accuracy.

Naming of Planets After
Gods Dates Back 400 B. C.
The custom of naming the- planets
after the names of gods dates back to
at least 400 years before Christ. The
planet Mars, for instance, is named
after the Roman god of war; Jupiter,
after the Roman god of rain and sky;
and Neptune, after the Roman god of
the salt water. Saturn is named after
the Roman god of agriculture.
The great festival of Saturn, a five-
day holiday, took place in mid-Decem-
ber of each year, and was called
Saturnalia. At this festival masters
and slaves made merry on equal foot-
ing, and with unrestrained Jollity and
abandon. This word. Saturnalia, has
come down to us through 2,000 years
of-time,-and TodpyJs .Med Jo signify
a feast of wild and uncontrolled rev-
elry; in modern American slang,
“whoopee.” 1 -A
Astronomically, Saturn Is a majes-
tic and fascinating denizen of the
skies, without any of the fearful
attributes with which astrology
charges It,
No one te.is all he knows, never
fear.
More heroines are found in kitchens
than in books.
Faith, hope and charity, isn’t enough.
You need pep.

Self-diScipline doesn’t work unless
one likes discipline.
The truth sometimes merely turns
anxiety into despair.
Nature as often puts a rose on the
nose as on the cheeks.
_ ..Tolerance of a nujsnnce is not tol-
erant® at all; it’s timidity. ~
One can be' “temperamental” and
one can have self-control.

Aids Honeymoon Couple
What a stationmaster at Leicester
whispered to a woman passenger on
the London and North Eastern rail-
way showed that his memory for faces
was remarkable, and at the same time
brought happiness to a honeymoon
couple, the Canadian Press relates. A
voun firide and bridegroom were start-
ing on their Journey. Happiness, con-
gratulations, laughter until another
woman took a seat In the compart-
ment. Friends appealed to the sta-
tionmaster. He was sympathetic, hut
pointed out that a passenger can take
any seat. However, he whispered to
the third passenger: “Do you remem-
ber you wished to be alone on your
honeymoon 28 years ago? I was at
Spalding then, and I was the official
yon asked to get you a compartment
for your bridegroom and yourself'
alone.” The woman smiled and the
stationmaster escorted hej to another
compartment.
Spaniard* U*a Much Tobacco
The 23,000,000 inhabitants of Spain
last year smoked £12,000,000 worth of
tobacco, according to official statistics,
writes the Madrid correspondent of
The London Sunday Observer. Fig-
ures for this year show that smoking
Is on the increase, especially among
-woman, who nw> now beginning to
smoke in public. In May, 1032, the
consumption of tobacco amounted to d
value of £840,000, and In the same
month of this year to £1,000,000. Spain
claims to have first Introduced the use
of tobacco to Europe through a navi-
gator known ae Don Rodrigo de Jerez,
who was imprisoned for ten years by
the Inquisition as a punishment for

perfect, according to human standards,
scientists marvel at the accuracy v thj
which angles and distances are “meas-
ured.” observes a writer.
The spider starts her geometrical
wpb with perimeter lines connecting,
objects around a space large enough
for her purpose. From these lines she
suspends a few threads which con-
verge at the centi .• of the future web.
Now beyiioj the process of sparing tt\W
radii.
She attaches the end of a new radius
at'the center and runs along n spoke'
already laid down; spinning out the!
silk for the new one as she goes. When
she reaches the ’perimeter line, she
takes a fixed number of steps along
It and attaches the new thread. This
process is' repeated until all the de-
sired radii are in place.
If the foundation lines should chance
to form a wheel rim accurately circu-
lar, t He distances between spokes
would be equal: but. since tlie peri-
meter Is usually an irregular quad-
rangle a tic? never a circle, the spacing
varies som< vhat. !
The spiral turns of silk, which com-
plete (lie net, are more accurately
spaced than the radii, since the spin-
ner lays down each new turn with her
foreleg touching the last one. Thus
the length of the forelegs and the size
of tire spider determine these dis-
tances.
“Scout- stepping” and use of the
“leg ruler" are Instinctive in spiders.
Even when isolated from its kind
from the moment of its birth, a spi-
derllng will produce exactly the same
web design as its mother and in ex-
actly the same manner.

Chihuahua Breed of Dogs
Loved by Queen Isabella
. To the very throne room of Queen
Isabella, of Spain, who was born in
1474 and died In 1547, we must go for
the real beginning of the Chihuahua
breed of dogs. Always a lover of ani-
mals, the queen surrounded herself,
historians tell ns, with a great num-
ber of pets and would allow no one
Ter harm-Thentr-esf>ec ia 1 ly a.b reedjp f
dogs which were small in size''and
pure white In color. These, perhaps,
were the offspring of the Spanish
pointer, which existed in Spain at
that time. At any rate, when the
queen popularized this breed it be-
came very common in Spain and most
every family had one of more.
Jean Grijalva, who discovered Cuba
and Mexico, and' later Hernando
Cortez, who in about 1408 landed in
Mexico with several boat loads of
soldiers and their families, brought
many of these f* gs from Spain.
These wore crossed with the dark or
all-black Mexican dog, which as
much smaller than the Spanish dog.
This get, it Is claimed. Was one of the
ancestors of the modern Chihuahua.
The Spaniards upon their arrival in
Mexico seemed to center about the
country of Chihuahua in Mexico and
made it their headquarters, l-'iom
this the dogs got their name.

A $1,00 Dinner for
Meteor* Small Planet*
Meteors are probably themselves
small planets. They literally infest
space, being almost, infinite in num-
ber, and the variety and extent of
their orbits around the sun is prac-
tically unlimited. It has been com-
puted that 20.000,000 enter the atmos-
phere of the earth every day, notes 1
a writer in the Cleveland Tlaln Dealer.
They come from every conceivable di-
rection and travel with speeds vary-
ing between seven and 70 miles per
second. Traveling through the atmos-
phere at this velocity they quickly
become Incandescent and burn up, so
fierce is the heat generated. The frag-
ments that survive this fiery ordeal
fall upon the earth as meteorites,
where men may study them and sub-
ject them to chemical analysis In cru-
cible and test tube.

Wedding Cake Lore
The origin of wedding cake goes
back hundreds of years. In ancient
Rome marriage was effected by the
simple process of the bride and bride-
groom breaking a cake of bread and
eating it together. This, in time, de-
veloped into the bride cake. The bride
cut it because it was the duty of the
woman to prepare food for the man.
Everybody knows the superstition
about sleeping on wedding cake.
Girls, even in this age, of cynicism,
look forward to the weddings of their
friends, so that they may get a piece
of wedding cake, which, if placed un-
der the pillow, some believe, has the
power to produce in dreams the vision
of a prospective husband.

The popularity of canned peas
aa compared with green peas Is
explained by the following state-
ments from “The Encyclopedia of
Food”:
** Full Flavor Peas
“Green peas can be enjoyed at
their best only if. eaten within a
very few hours after gathering.
First-class canned peas — passed
from the vine to tbo can in an
almost incredibly short time—are
preferred for flavor and delicacy
to “fresh peas” that have been
days in transit and storage—even
though both transit and storage
have been ameliorated by the
most modern cooking or refriger-
ating systems.” ---t--
the week on Saturday, or who
buys them when the sales are an-
nounced, adds not “a can of peas”
but many cans of peas. Someone
good at flgu res could prove that
by this system of better buying
one could have a dozen or so free
cans of peas every year. And Ihe
ways to serve them are legion—
in soaps, salads, casserole dishes,
“•®J garnishes, cream sauces,
omelets and many more.** “
