say, even when he's talking on the radio, Gather around folks, I'll tell you all I knoW-and what I don't know, I'll tell you I don't know"
 Add to that a canny mind that seems never stumped for an an- swer and the answer is always worth listening to, whether you agree with it or not. In other words, here is a speaker worthy of the best .. and with the phys ical stamina of an elephant. The Democrats-no matter who they are-are going to have one tough time keeping up with him in number of speeches made, wheth- CT it's on the radio or "stumping the sticks.
 Now, bearing all this in mind combativeness, platform and mi ,crophone ability, and stamina toss in the fact that Willkie agrees with President Roosevelt and the Democrats on the principles of almost every major issue-and what do you have? Probably the most formidable opponent to the Democrats that the Republicans could have found.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-07-12
UP TO THE DEMOCRATS

Don't think for minute that the Democrats here don't realize this, and that they aren't turning it over and over in their minds this very minute. That's why I can pass along that the coming cam paign is going to be one of the fightingest- one of the bit terest-this country has seen The only thing that could prevent ;t would be for the Democrats to name a weak sister, crawl off in a corner somewhere and hope that lightning would strike Wendell l.. Willkie.
 That's what the Democrats are saying among themselves. By a fluke or by the clever manipula- tions of MT Willkie or somebody, the tables have been turned and it's up to the Democrats to stop the man that Old Guard Republi- cans couldn't.
 Just how it is to be done is even now being worked out be- hind the scenes. It won't be long before the first opposition guns will be fired. President Roosevelt and his Administration have never been ones to sit around and see whats going to happen. Nobody has ever accused the President of being short on political strategy or long on leisure.
 Exactly what turn the battle will take is almost impossible for me or even the experts to envi- sion now. But it's going to be ex- citing enough so that even the kibitzer can get into father about it. As for the politicians: It looks like a tough summer and for some of them-an early fall.

Quick Freezing Corn

Corn intended for quick freezing
keeps better and tastes better if it
is washed and then scalded on the
cob before it is cut, says the United
States department of agriculture.
Most vegetables to be quick-frozen
are first scalded in boiling water or
live steam to stop the action of plant
engines or ferments which cause
off-favorS and odors in food. The
departments frozen pack laboratory
at Seattle, Wash, is studying quick
freezing methods for foods. The
sugar content of corn washed and
scalded after removal from the cob
is reduced about so per cent, work
ers at the laboroty report They
recommend that packers of frozen
vegetables scald corn before cutting
it off the cob.
