yon see any success in any of these
thinss for me? thank you in ad-
vance.

your little town II. and will you
two have big time together.
.
M.O.-Where can order some
medicine for pyorrhea of the gums?
Ans:-Many preparations are on
the market for treating gums, but
you would be playing safer to call
on a dentist and let him treat you
as well as prescribe the right kind
of medicine.
M.B.R.--I have two small grand
sons and their father died. My
daughter has married again and
should / let her have them or must
keep them?
Ans Keep them if the daughter
will permit it, as they have grown
attached to you now. Ii she pre-
fers to have them with her then
there is nothing left to do but con-
sent. The children will be well
cared for with her and they will no
doubt spend a lot of time with you.
ALL. - I love my church and
have made quite name for myself
here, but I have the urge to 60
away as ! am sure that long as
| remain hene will never marry
and would like a home of my own
with nice Christian husband.
Ans:-You are mighty deserving
of home and good husband. A
change would do you q world of
good. You could take up your
church activities some place else
just as well as you are doing there
and / feel that new acquaintance
will bring Joy into your life.
TIT am contemplating order
ing a tombstone from distance and
wish to know if it would be all
right?
Ans:-Quite all right for you to
do SO. The stone would be sent you
by freight and if this is what you
desire go ahead and place your
order. 1t is very likely you could
purchase one much cheaper there in
your own district.
L.B.C.-Does my husband love me
or did he come back just for con-
venience?

Frederick the Great, Louis XVI,
the luck of the Irish, and the in
genuity of the French all were need
ed to popularize that white sheep OF
a black family, the potato, which
had to go to Europe and back be-
fore it was accepted by our fore
fathers who prided themselves on
their ability as pioneers.
H. E. Eswine, extension service,
Ohio State University, said Sir Wal
ter Raleigh's claim of purveyor of
potatoes to Queen Elizabeth is sub
ject to dispute, but there is no argu-
ment about the original distrust of
most Europeans for plant that had
N relatives the deadly nightshade
and other dubious cousins. The
Irish were hungry enough to take a
chance and the potato fourished in
their climate.
Frederick the Great found that
soldiers had to be fed and that
farmers objected to acquisitions of
grain if that left their cupboards
bare. Potatoes would feed the ci-
villains and release barely and rye
for soldiers rations, so potatoes got
a "nust" rating from the Prussian,
and Germans got an early start in
accepting orders gracefully.
The French were and are differ
ent. Parmentier, Frenchman who
had eaten potatoes and liked them
in a German prison camp arrived
home with a determination to popu-
larize this food. Louis XVI could
see the advantage of having well fed
subjects and gave his royal sanction
to the scheme, but the subjects were
suspicious.
Parmentier knew his countrymer
and obtained a detail of soldiers tc
stand guard every day around q
pot of potato plants. At night, the
guard was withdrawn and the neigh
bors pilfered what they would not
accept as a gift in the days before
potatoes were guarded The edi
bility of the potatoes was readily es
tablished and seed stocks were In
demand.
There are several legends about
the return of potatoes to the United
States. One of them is that 9

group of Scotch-Irish colonists on
their way to grow potatoes and flax
in New Hampshire stayed over win
ter in Andover, Mass, and left with
the settlers there some withered tu-
bers. These were planted by the
Pilgrim progeny and fiourished.
The resulting crop of seed balls
did not appear too appetizing but
various attempts were made to use
them as sauce or pie filling. New
England stomachs rebelled and
stayed rebellious until plowing sea-
son the next spring turned up some
potatoes which had escaped freezing.
Their escape from the elements was
accepted as an augury of divine
sanction for inclusion in list of
foods which was shorter than the
blessings under which they were
consumed.
Potatoes now are produced in
nearly every county in the United
States but the national crop is only
quarter of the yearly production
in Germany. Russia harvests more
than Germany, and France about
equals our crop. Alcohol made from
European potatoes may keep planes
in the air when an exhausted gaso-
line supply would ground these eyes
and weapons of warning nations.

Lambs Do Not GdnabOL
If Shepherds Gamble

Lambs may not gambol in spring
time if their owners do some gamb-
ling in the winter by failing to give
the eve flock enough attention to in
sure the production of healthy lamb
crop, is the opinion of L. X. Bear, spe-
cialist in animal husbandry, Ohio
State university.
The eve has two tasks to perform
in producing a good lamb and fair
clip of wool and she cannot succeed
unless the raw materials needed are
supplied by the flock owner. Ewes
will go through the winter in good
shape with only home grown rough
ages until six or eight weeks before
lambing.
However, there are vast differences
in roughages. Good legume hay pro-
vides the protein needed by the ewes
but timothy hay and corn stalks do
not. Farmers also should remember
this winter that corn stalks and leaves
have had their usual feeding value re-
duced by the unusual fall weather.
Protein supplement in the form of
linseed meal, cottonseed oil meal, soy
bean oil meal, or whole soybeans
should be fed to ewes who do not get
legume hay. The bulletin "Sheep Rails
ing in Ohio" which can be obtained
free from Ohio extension agents,
gives detailed feeding instructions.
Mr.. Bear cautions shepherds to re-
member that a mature eve needs
about a gallon of water daily, altho
some people think sheep require little
or no water. Farmers who buy sheep
tonics and compel their flocks to drink
from filthy watering places are spend
ig money uselessly.
Calcium can be furnished the ewes
in the form of finely ground limestone.
Loose salt placed in troughs permits
the ewes to get this necessity without
breaking teeth in gnawing supply
from hard salt blocks.
The specialists final word is that
the eve flock have difficulty enough
performing their two tasks of lamb
and wool production without support
ing horde of internal parasites. The
parasites can be removed by treat
ments described in the bulletin prev
iously mentioned.

JEW REFUGEES TO BRITISH GUIANA

London. May 10-(UP).-The cab- inet at its regular weekly meeting today approved a 24-page report by . joint British-American mission on plans to settle European Jewish refugees in British Guiana.
 Originally the report recommend ed trial settlements in various Guiana districts, to be developed into permanent colonies containing thousands of people.
 As considered by the cabinet, however, the report envisaged only small experimental colonies which. if they succeeded, might be ex- banded in the indefinite future. A well informed source said that the plan really would involve 8 mavi- mum of only few hundred refu- gees.
 The cabinet was believed also to have examined proposals for dealing with the Palestine problem. It was reported that the proposals called for an autonomous Palestine state after 8 five year transition period. During these five years a maximum of 75,000 Jews would be permitted to enter Palestine to live.
