IN the granary but recently put
into consumption channels. With
prices Of both corn and wheat
near top levels. Uncle Sam and
cooperating farmers as well have
been cashing profits. The gov
eminent has sold about 25.0o0.-
600 bushels of wheat and more
than 100. 900. 900 bushels OF corn
in recent months.
As has been the case the
last two years, wheat farmers
who put grain into storage,
taking govern m e n loans
which, In effect, amounted TO
guarantees of certain prices,
now are able TO market their
grain at prices above original
rates. Much of this wheat Is
appearing on the market now.
At the same time, the govern
ment lending agency. the Com
modify Credit corporation,
which had to take over about
175,000, 900 bushels of 1e39-40
wheat last year in default of
loans when prices were consid-
erably below a dollar, Is dispos-
ing of its stocks Any profits

Profits accruing on this
back-up wheat vary. On ap-
proximately $50. ZOO. 900 BUSH
els Of 1941 wheat stored un-
der loans, farmers can now
realize prices ranging from
10 to Is cents over the original
loan rates. After payment Of
storage and interest charges,
traders estimate the profits
would be close to sec, 1000, 900.
The 100000, 900 bushels of old
corn held by the government
were stored under original loans
of 81 to 81 cents a bushel. In
recent months the government
has sold almost half Of this at
market prices well above origi-
nal loan rates, with sales par
ticularly heavy in recent weeks
on basis Of above so cents
in Chicago.
In addition, producers had I'M
der loans almost 300, 00O, 900
bushels of 193s-39-4O corn, Of
which more than 100000, 900
bushels have been redeemed be-
cause of more attractive prices
and need for conversion into live
stock at profitable feeding ra-
tios. Appreciated value Of this
old corn in various positions was
estimated at least at $50, 200, 900.

Contrast these dignified plans with the

Olson assumed the title OF governor in
1888 nothing was spared to make the

AN EXPLANATION DUE
FROM The PRESIDENT

II may have been President RooSeyelts
idea OF practical Joke To present Ger
man Iron Cross decoration to Washing
ton naWSpaperman who, the President
said, had written something about
George f. Dumo, former Whit House
correspondent who is now captain IN
the army, assigned to Australia.
Or the President may have allowed
his anger to get the best of his Judg-
mant.
Or there may be an additional reason
which has not come to light IN the rather
thorough discussion of the matter
The Presidents action amounted to 4
left-handed accusation of treason against
AN accredited Washington correspondent.
On the surface there appears to be
little reason for Mr.. RooSevelt's pique.
The column TO which he evidently refer
red merely quoted facetious paragraphs
from another former Washington cor
respondents letter from Australia to
John ODonnell, the rebuked columnlSt.
about Durno. 1t was such a letter as any
friend might write to an intimate &C
quaintance about a third person who is
q friend of both. 1t was obviously III
light vein, with no serious intent what
ever.
Ii is difficult to conceive the state Of
been to become angry about the column.
One infers. from the available evidence,
that the President merely did not like
O'Donnells writings. and picked on one
sample of them TO express his dlspleas-
ure.
The manner in which he expressed it
was the ultimate in bad taste, unless he
has more than personal displeasure TO
back up his action. To do thing which
virtually accuses a supposedly reputable
correspondent of treason, merely because
the correspondents views do not COIN
eide with the administration S, is a serl-
Gus thing 1t exceeds the bounds OF
personal matter because the Official
weight of the Presidents office is behind
it, and because it might reflect on
broader scale the administration atti-
tude toward those whose duty it is to
keep the public informed.
If there was any real reason for the
Iron Cross incident. the country is en-
titled to know it. If there is not, II would
be the proper thing for the President to
explain that he merely conceived a prac-
teal Joke which backfrad-or to apollo

GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
by ALICIA HART
WA Service Staff Writer

Deodorants and -perspirants
are among the war-Struck charm
budgets important requisites, eS-
pecially i'm winter. It's surprising
how few girls and women are aware
of this. They seem to think the
aids TO fastidioGSness are called
Tor in summertime only.
Actually. what's more uninviting
TO the wearer, rs well as her COM
panionS, than a heavy. non-waSh
dress to which there clings some
suggestion of perspiratiOn? When
you have fewer clothes, as most OF
us do nowadays, you must keep
them immaculate by preventing
soiling as far as possible. If you
expect to enjoy wearing them.
And besides these aesthetic con-
siderations, there's purely prac-
teal one: perspiration wears fab
RIGS harder than almost any other
common kind of Soiling. 1t may
be removed by cleaning, but it
takes n toll, nevertheless, OF all
| but the toughest material.
When you choose these beauty
aids. distinguish between q true
anti-perSpirant and dcodorant.
An anti-perSpirant, which diScour-
ages perSpiration, should be used
occasionally, at least once week.
Between times, you should Use II
true deodorant. This simply checks
odor, and continued perSpiration
naturally carries away the deodo-
rant after 4 time. Women who
find powder deodorants ineffective,
and who do not like the liquid va
riety, may like the newer cream
types. They are easy to apply, and
some anti-perspirants.
Be sure to follow directions care
fully. Never apply any type of
beauty aid under your arms imme-
diately after shaving or using Il
depilatory unless the directions Spe-
officially state that yoG may do so
without harm. The skin Of many
women is delicate and subject TO
irritation, hence deserves special
consideration.
There's been so much emphasis
on the faStidiOuSneSS part of this
subject, in recent years, that many
women have been made overZeal-
Gus about body odorS. There's no
need TO go chasing imaginary odorS
In your closet or on your spin. But
if you are given to worrying about
them-why, there's no better way
to check that than by faithfully
Using a preventative.
When you do use deodorant, you
can be pretty sure that any odor
YOU seem to detect thereafter is
imagined. And you can be sure
that one very real hazard to dura-
bility of your clothes is removed,
! too.

MiSHANDLED WORDS

Now OPA has announced a complete
breakdown on pressure driving in II
eastern states
Revision of gasoline rationing proceed
ure there has been made necessary by
emergency demands from North Africa
for gasoline, OPA says, with the result
that "A" and other ration books will
have to be so thoroughly curtailed as to
become practically scraps Of paper.
Nobody is going to object to the curtall-
ment if it is necessary TO supply the arm
ed services in Africa with the gasoline
they need If they needed all the gaso-
line in America, we rather imagine the
American public would gladly walk, and
do it without complaint
We do not question the necessity for
cutting down the use of gasoline on the
eastern seaboard, nor would we question
it in oar own area if we knew the gas
was going to the battletronts.
What we do object to is the mishandling
of words by an agency which seems to be
afraid in spite Of proof to the contrary,
that the people cant take it, Specifi-
cally, we object TO the announcement that
pleasure driving" must be cut. 1t has
already been done away with. Let's face
tie facts. 1t is not pleasure driving which
is to be done away with now. 1t is nor
mally necessary civilian driving which is
not absolutely essential TO the war effort.
Why not call it that?

How to keep a husband from

feeling shut cut Of his place IN
the family circle is one of the
many problems confronting the wife
whose husband has gone to war.
A wife can manage to do 1t II
she writes often and tries with
each letter to make her husband
feel that he is as important to the
family as he ever was.
BY writing often, wife will nat
urally mention the little things that
would seem too trivial to bother
with if she wrote only once every
week or two. Those small details
of day by day living do lot to
make the person away from home
feel that he is still in touch, that
he knows what is going on.
And instead of thinking, Il won't
worry about this" a wife should
give her husband chance to adj
wise her about important decisions
when there is time for discus
sion by letter.
She should let him know, too,
that his wishes and his tastes aren't
being ignored or forgotten in his
own hame. When she mentions
buying new dress she might add
that she thinks he would like it.
II it is necessary to make move
she thinks he might not wholly APP
prove of Sc can make point OF eX-
Dlgining the necessity for it.
DISCUSS DECISIONS
If there are children, important
decisions concerning them should
be discussed or fully explained
to her husband. Nothing would
make a man feel pushed aside more
quickly than thinking that just be-
cause he is not at home he has no
say over the upbringing of his
family.
