WARREN When we think of bread which s the staff of life we think of vheat, yet other cereals are also ised to make bread. The potato s close to wheat in actual food falue, but it contains four times is much water, so four times as nuch potato must be eaten to get he same amount of nourishment is in wheat. Potatoes also con tain mineral salts which help to overcome the acids in the blood formed when too much meat is eaten. This makes meat and po tatoes a good combination to which, of course, must be added fruits and green vegetables. t*v *•%♦*##*/V* hats off... to my customers who have been so swell about vvyitind. for the tire that.. • 'V ' i * > r / 1 PREWAR r/RES FOR EXTRA SAFETY AND EXTRA MILEAGE THE NEW BaFe Goodrich '•-•it » **■ Silvertown IS WORTH THE WAIT The new Silvertown tires have been setting records for long mileage, safety and economy not only on taxi Beets, police cars and special test cars but in regular car owner use.

C. ; "r*: By W. J. DRYDEN NWNS Farm Editor • When the 4-H Club meets in Chi sago the first week in December, U will mark a quar* ter of a century o.* the. development , of 4-H Club ac tivities. Each yeai the boys and girls who have prove.? themselves lead ers are selected aa delegates to rep resent their state* at the big clu<* congress. • With white com paying, a prem ium over yellow com, it may be ad visable for com raisers to investi gate some of the splendid white hy- ; brids, such as K-2234, now available. ^ • Provide plenty of water. A cow will need 25 gallons daily; sheep 1% gallons; beef cattle, 10 gallons; hogs, 2 gallons and horses 10 gallons. • Superior sires can be more fully utilized and the quality of cattle in the U. S. greatly increased through the use of artificial insemination— and the demand for high quality sires will be increased. • Now is the time to fertilize next year’s garden tract. • Check up on honey stores in the hives. If not found to be sufficient, the bees should be destroyed and re placed next spring with package bees, is the advice of experts. • If you decide to ship your meat overseas on the hoof, you’d find that: Only ducks and pigs remain healthy unchanged—they eat on the ship the same as on land. The stub born bulls, and horses, when at sea, are much easier to handle.—Ameri can Cattle Producer. • Some 320,000 tons of calcium a year are required to put shells on eggs laid by hens of U. S. Are your hens getting their share? • Pasture renovation programs should be started now for best re- , suits. ’ ' • Annual feed production of a lay- > ing hen will vary according to pro- v duction. A high producer will con- > sume as much as 60 per cent more than a low producer. • “The Navy still remembers the heroic work of the farmers, who, al though it Is more than a year since the fighting ended, have not lessened their efforts to feed the nation and \ the starving people of the world. On Navy Day, October 27, 1946, I wish to thank the fanners at America.”—, James Forrestal, Secretiry of Navy. *-* • -m.. . . A Westinghouse Refrigerators, Maytag Washing Machines Now on display. J.

C. •Y CATHERINE CONRAD EDUARDS Associate Editor, Poronts* Magazioo TIME OFF FOR MOTHER E iVERY mother should have some * time to herself, away from the demands of her children. Nursery school provides this for many moth ers, but if your children are too young for admission, or if there is no nursery school available, why not trade baby tending days with a friend? The idea isn’t new but it is one more mothers ought to be put ting into prac tice. i vts&i First, choose a friend whose views on child training are similar to your own. You don’t have to agree on everything, but if your children are to spend one or two days a week in her home under her exclusive care you don’t want too sharp a change in the home atmosphere. For ex ample, if your routine is easy-going with time out for stories and music and to help your child along with some play project that has stamped him—well, you can see that it would be too confusing for him to be un der the care of a friend who was a stickler for doing things at the same time every day and who treated chil dren only as so many mouths to feed. . This difference between letting the day develop creatively and regimenting it is, as we said, too great for most children to adjust to without a lot of wear and tear on their nerves. But different ways of doing specific things— such as serving food, preparing for naps, etc^ are all to the good. You may be chided with “My mommy doesn’t do it that way” but a good-natured reminder that YOU do soon helps the small guest learn that there Is more than one satisfactory way of doing a thing—a valuable les son in adaptability, by the way. I If your child is an infant consult I your doctor before making plans for« cooperative mothering. He will tell > you when the baby is ready to ad-; just to new surroundings. Of course,. mothers who nurse their babies can; not arrange for more than a few; hours’ absence, nor do they wish to. This closeness to the child is one of the rich rewards of motherhood and no day’s freedom could possibly measure up in satisfaction. One day a week of combining families is enough to start with. Later on, if the children and mothers both thrive under the* arrangement, another day might be added to the shared schedule. This would give each mother one day for activities outside her home, and one day of uninter rupted housework, with time for j a shampoo and a manicure, and a precious hour of reading. \ The plan itself is simple—the chil dren have breakfast and bath at home. Then on the day you do; double duty as mother your friend l brings her two children (we say two for it isn’t often there are more tha»» two under school age) to your house • and leaves them there until bed-' time. Along with your own children you give them lunch and supper, put them to bed at naptime, and super vise their play and outing. You may be dog-tired by the time your friend' calls for her children around 6:00 o’clock, but you can look forward to the next day when you will be free to dash about on pleasant errands, see a movie, or have lunch with a friend, knowing that your children are being lovingly cared for. T -HOW TO WIN FRIENDS and Author of 04HUENCE PEOPlgy Dale Carnegie DON’T WORRY —TRUST IN GOD T HIS column is proud of the fact that it gave William C.. Jeffers his first national publicity of an inspirational na- . ture. Mr. Jeffers is president of the Union Pacific Railroad. I talked to him lately and he told me something of a helpful nature that I want.to pass along. On the subject of worry, I asked him, since he carried so much responsi bility, if he worried. • His answer: “No, I do not worry. I have , never worried, and I have such strong feelings , on the subject of worry that I have discharged • men ;n my organization for worrying.^ I asked him why he had adopted this attitude, and said “A man who worries is liable to 5 make mistakes. And in the railroad business that is fretty bad—it may kill people.” , Naturally I continued the subject and asked him how he kept from worrying, and he told me he had learned it ’• from his Irish mother. He went on to say, “She trusted ' in God and never wofried about anything. This made a deep impression on me, and I learned early in life to do as she did about worry.” It Still on the subject of worry, he continued: “When I have a problem to solve, I try to get all the facts on it that I can. ’ After I have all the facts and have studied them as best I can,| I go to bed and let them flop around on my mind. Usually' the next morning I suddenly get a ‘hunch' how to handle myi problem. Then I go ahead and carry out the plan. If it fails; I do not worry. I know I have done the best I can and waste, no time worrying al^out what might have been.” } Splendid advice, as all those who have tried it will testify. Glen L. Martin, the famous bomber manufacturer, once l said: “I am surprised when I look back on my life, in this v matter of worry. I was once a garage mechanic, working j>j for wages. My tasks were comparatively simple. I worried as much then as I do now when my responsibilities are far, 'f far greater.” |i Think of that! He worried as much when he was repairing' cars as he does now when he has so much of the war effort on. his shoulders. ^ '^OUR LETTER NOW FWg> ^ F Q* A NirkFl INSURANCE Fire Insurance And All Other Kinds of Insurance In cluding Life Insurance.
