ATLANTA, Nov. 4.-The millions
of herman meals that will help
build Uncle Sans defense muscles
will be good news for farmers, but
those close 10 the great canton

booms.
Vast stores of provender will be
needed for the men behind the guns,
but modern military buying is so
efficiently organized that only
small part need be obtained from
producers near consumption points.

widely used for the purpose of lu-
brication, illumination, steel tenn

screw cutting and even to illuminate
city streets. The sperm whale fur

There is little variation in the

spout, they are actually expelling
the air which they inhaled on their
last trip to the surface. So whales,
like other mammals, must hold their
breath when they are under water.

laurel and privet that grew in
masses along there. Fpr an instant
Jeremy and Gayle looked at each
other. Jeremy vas quite pale.
Then Gayle dropped her horses
reins and ran after Lola.
Jeremy dropped the reins and
ran, too, for a little way.
When he came out into the open
from the shrubbery, he caught a
glimpse of the girls entering tn e
green hedges that screened the old
swimming pool. He ran over there.
Then he saw that Gayle had her
arm around Lola and was leading
her still farther, because workmen
were busy in and around the
empty pool. Seeing them flee, Jer-
envy sensed that he would be an
intruder. Gayle could handle the
situation, give Lola whatevHr COM
fort she would need; he could re-
strain his couriosity for the mo-
ment.
Back, leading both horses, after
a minute or so, and wondering
whatever could have happened, he
came again to an opening along
the old pathway and saw Bill Bail
ey at hand.
"Oh, 1 say, Bill! 1 say, Bill!'
Bill turned to face the inevitable.
Did you, ah, see Lola? Crying?
And running?"
Bill nodded, his face a study in
gloom. 81 saw her. I'm the cause
of it, in fact"
Huh? You say-Oh!"
You heard me, Tucker. I said
I'm to blame for the weeping my
self. I popped off at the moth. l
thought I knew what l a talking
about. You needn't look so shocked,
mister. He'll, Tucker, if you weren't
such a panty waist that you can't
see what goes on right under"
Bill stopped short. His lips
frightened, and he took a d e o
breath. Then he went on talking
before Jeremy could get in a word.
IT didn't mean that, Jeremy.
Overlook it, will you? I didn't mean
it at all. / apologize. I'm just
just worked up, is all. You're all
right. Matter of fact, I wish you'd
back me up against a tree or some
thing and kick me half silly"

fright, Jeremy! Quite all right. I
never thought of you as needing to
talk. Why, Jeremy, most m e n
talk too much. Don't you know
that?"
His eyes showed his gratitude.
II never went arounG much with
girls, Gayle. But you're different.
Well, all the girls here now are, ]

even different from them. 1 mean
well, I guess you know what ]
mean-you have-they-"
He was begging down again, she
perceived, and she forced herself
to control threatened laughter. She
turned to look straight ahead and
talk as matter-of-factly as S e
could, holding his elbow and flick
ing at leaves and pebbles with her
riding crop. Il understand, Jere.

a sudden idea-"you met several

"oh, I say, yes! Oh, no! I

Sure, Jeremy! They'd all love
it. They admired you a great deal
Honestly, they did. You ought to
buy some horses of your own,
really, and then you could"
She stopped abruptly, stopped
talking, and stopped walking, as
well. Jeremy halted, too.
Before them, not many yards
away, Lola Montesa had suddenly
turned into their dark path, STUN
bled into it, because she had her
hands to her face and was crying
as if her heart would break. She
had walked near to them before
she saw Jeremy and Gayle behold
ing her with CONSERVATION.

ed, in awe.

FEED TURKEYS FOR MARKET
Working on Finish of Birds for
High Prices at Holidays

Delaware turkey producers are
now working toward the best pos
sible finish on their birds to obtain
highest prices at holiday market
ing time. And w. c. Skoglund of
the animal industry department at
the Delaware Agricultural Expert
ment Station, says that Where
necessary, growers can add weight
to their turkeys by increasing the
amount of grain supplied the birds
from now until the time comes for
them to be marketed. Corn, es-
pecially, will boost turkey weight
rapidly to meet holiday market de-
mands. Alfalfa, soybean, clover or
clover-bluegrass ranges provide a
steady supply of green feed for the
turkeys. And supplying plenty of
green feed is one of the best
health measures in the manage
ment of turkeys"

DIR. TARUMIANZ
BEFORE ROTARY
Spoke on Mental Health in
Relation to War and the
Children of Today
DISCUSS PREPAREDNESS

DR. NJ A Tarumianz, Superin-
tendent of the Delaware State
Hospital, addressed the Smyrna
Rotary Club on the subject of
Mental Health in Relation to
War and the Prevention of War"
The speaker stated that the pres
ent crises might well be laid at the
feet of America for had we been
prepared, Stain, Hitler, Mussolini,
and Hirohito would not have dared
to do what they have done. And
what is more unbelievable those
countries knew more about our
state Of unpreparedness than we
ourselves did. The citizens of
America were urged to analyze
and to understand the problems of
America today. Preparedness of
an adequate nature twenty years
ago might easily have prevented
the present debacle Children of
today, the future citizens of Amer
lea, DR.. Tarumianz urged, must be
given much more attention by
their parents than ever before
Help these boys and girls to re-
move the pressures of fear and in
still in them security and stamina.
Had the dictators of today not
been neglected in their youth their
reactions today would not have
been what they are. The speaker
insisted that the job of prepared
ness in relation to our youth is a
cooperative task, in which the
home, the school, the church, and
the medical profession form the
front lines. c. L. Harmonson re-
sponded to the talk in a brilliant
manner DR.. c. ]. Prickett was
chairman of the evening. George
R. Miller, Jr., presided. The guests
included Colonel E. c. Bulls of

MILK PER COW
RECORD GIVEN
Average of 636 Pounds of
Milk Per Cow; 1868 Pounds
of Butterfat
GOOD PASTURE NEEDED

According to the September re-
port of the Kent County Dairy
Herd Improvement Association,
which has been mailed from the of
fee of County Agent Russell E.
Wilson to each member of this or
ganization, the average production
per cow for the past month was
636 pounds of milk and 26.3 pounds
of butterfat. OF the 1872 cows
which were on official test during
September, there were 81 cows
that produced over 800 pounds of
milk each, and 16 cows which pro-
duced in excess of 40 pounds of
butterfat each, which is a reason
ably god record for this season of
the year when pastures are short
due to weather conditions. One
important factor which will be
stressed by the extension service
during the coming year. therefore,
is more and better pasture and hay
crops for dairy cattle, and this pro-
gram will include also the greater
use of homegrown feeds in dairy
rations for more economical milk
production. In order to bring this
question of homegrown feeds to
the attention of dairy farmers a
committee of interested dairymen
will be selected in the county to
cooperate with the county agent in
planning this project. Assistance
