NAILS REPORTED DRAFTING
WHITE RUSSIAN EMIGRES

Russian emigres holding hansen
passports are being recruited" for
the German armed forces in Rumania,
the Rome radio disclosed in recent
domestic broadcast hansen pass
ports are travel documents that were
issued to stateless persons under
League of Nations auspices following
the last war.
According to the broadcast, the
drafting of the hansen passport-hold-
ers is covered by an agreement
reached between the German and Ru-
manian governments. The political
emigres to be indicted under the
agreement the broadcast said, include
former officers, non-commissioned Of
ficers and men of the old White
armies of Generals Denikin and Wran-

SOUTHERN WORKERS HELP
SAVE WHEAT

More than $500 domestic agricul-
tural workers have been transported
to the midwest and spring wheat area
since August 1. This is part of the
governments farm labor program, the
War Food Administration said, and
was done to help meet emergency
harvest needs and save vitally-import-
ant war crops. The workers were re-
cruited in four southern states with
the assistance of county agricultural
agents. During the past few weeks,
the WFA said, 1850 workers were
moved from Arkansas to North Da-
kota; 1900 from Oklahoma to Wyo-
ming, Montana, North Dakota and
South Dakota; $50 from Mississippi
to North Dakota; and 200 from Ala
bama to Ohio. The workers will be
returned to their home states in time
to help with the cotton harvest, which
gets well under way in September.

HEALTH HINTS

prepared by the American Red
Cross for the Rural Press Section
of OWL
A burn caused by over-exposure tt
intense heat of the sun should be
avoided as is every other type OF
burn. When it occurs, treatment as
given for any burn of comparable sew.
Gritty and extent should be given. The
usual treatment would be to apply
wet soda dressings. To each quart of
slightly warm water, add two or three
| Tablespoons of ordinary baking soda.
Soak soft, freshly Numbered white
cloth in the solution, twisting ends to
remove excess water, and apply to
burn Cover loosely to hold in place
Keep dressings moist by frequent
changing of the dressing.
The glare of light fatigues the eyes
just as activity fatigues muscles. In
the sickroom it is important to regu-
late light and adjust furniture SO that
the patient does not have to face the
direct light either by day or night.
In taking the temperature by the
rectum, as is done for babies and
adults who cannot satisfactorily use a
mouth thermometer, the thermometer
must be held in place during the full
time it is inserted. To have it broken
off or drawn up into the bowel would
be serious.
Mothers milk remains the safest,
best food for the baby except in I'M
usual cases, such as serious Illness or
pregnancy of the mother. 1t has the
right ingredients, which change to
adapt to the new needs of the grow
ing baby. 1t is clean and at the right
temperature.
Cleanliness of the skin is one of the
best preventives of bedsores. For the
helpless patient this means not only
a daily bath, but washing with soap
and water and carefully drying parts
of the body as they become soiled or
damp.
Water blisters usually occur where
there has been rubbing, as of shoe
or handling of a work tool Blood |
blisters are caused by pinching 1t is |
best to protect blisters from breaking
open if possible. To avoid infection
in case blister may break, gently |
cleanse the blister and area around
It with soap and water. When dry,
paint with mild tincture of iodine
Cover with sterile dressing.
Babies should never be urged to
year their weight on their feet until
hey do it of their own accord. When
he muscles are sufficiently devel-
ped, the normal baby will try to
tand and walk without urging.
Soap and water, strong sunlight and
resi- air are effective disease germ
.illers.
A weak patient when lying on his
ide needs support at his back. Place
soft pillow lengthwise along the
pine, tucking in firmly to hold back
4 straight line.
The baby should never have his
ose, mouth or hands wiped with the
sed handkerchief of another person;
assing infection. Keep a handker-
hief or have paper tissue for the
aby's use.

Dear Mrs. Clyde,
You ask If I am interested in dis
tributing the reprint Of Ely gilbert
sons plan for World Peace. With g
willingness and an eagerness to In
vestigate any plan that holds prom
Use of an enduring world peace have
read the article with interest. l do
not question his good intentions but
cannot agree that he has made even a
good start toward a practical fulfill
ment of the foundation upon which we
could hope to build an enduring World
Peace.
He has failed to take into account
the primary cause of the failure of
the League of Nations to make for
such peace. And so he has failed
to make any provision in his plan to
eliminate this adverse factor which
has again disturbed the Peace of the
World and so brought on World War
Two.
This insurmountable barrier to any
enduring Peace is the domination of
our economic order and political proc
esses by selfish, INSCRIPTIONS and
powerful financial and industrial
groups which are determined to rule
the world for profit and power to
themselves.
The common people, the masses,
are for peace They have everything
to lose and nothing to gain by these
imperialistic world wars. But their
voice is stilled by these selfish groups
which consider only more profits and
power for themselves and to hell with
the common man.
Ely says we lost the other war at
the peace table. We did no such |
thing. The boys won the other war
on the battlefield and then lost the
peace because they came home and
voluntarily turned the machinery of
peace over to the money interests
who whetted their teeth and pro-
ceeded to devour and exploit the rest
u.
the world at that time was all out
for Democracy. He had fought to
make the world safe for democracy.
Democracy was the watchword of the
man. The Wiemar republic
was set up in Germany. These pow
of Democracy and so never supported
the Weimar republic. These same
interests tried very hard to destroy ,
the attempt of the Russian people to s
solve their own troubles because the !
Russian plan didn't play horse with
he plan of the interests to exploit !,
he world for big profits. These self $
sh interests succeeded in Stacking \
he attempt of the League of Nations
o stop Mussolini in his rape of Ethio-
Tia fearing that if the Sawdust Caesar
vas stopped, the common people of :
tally might really come into their own
md that would be fatal to their pet
,lans of world domination c
These same selfish interests lent D
id and support to Franco and joined l
lands with Hitler and Mussolini in 0
the nearest approach to l
Democratic government that Spain a
yer had.
These same rapacious interests p
allied off the attempt to stop the n
apanese war lords invasion of Man u
huria fearing that to do so might II
lay into the hands of the hated com
lunists just across the line They
1ould rather profit by selling oil, c.

Country butter, however, has been as

The purchasing power of meats-fats

BIG DEMAND FOR STRAW
Farmers in the reproducing
areas will be urged to make straw
available to strawboard manufacturers
to enable them to keep up with very
heavy requirements for shipping con-
tainers for military forces and essen
tial civilian uses. The War Produc-
ton Board is cooperating with the
War Food Administration in a pro-
gram designed to increase straw col
lection in midwestern states. Due to
heavy rains and flood conditions this
spring, much of the available straw
crop was destroyed State and Coun-
ty War Boards are expected to assist
strawboard manufacturers in locating
available straw.

KING CHRISTIAN SPEAKS OUT

After the German invasion of Den
mark in April, 1910, the Nazis-anx-
ious to make Denmark kind of
model state of the New Order
allowed King Christian X to remain
on his throne as symbol of Danish
national integrity. Now, with the
establishment of martial law by Cen
eral Hermann Won Hanneken, Chris
tian is prisoner of the Nazis.
Both as King and prisoner, the Mon
arch, elder brother of Norway's King
Haakon, has never concealed his con-
tempt for the Nazis
Recently, as the Nazis took over
complete control in Denmark, the
King and Queen Alexandrine were
driven through the suburbs of Copen-
hagen with a German military escort
in an apparent attempt to quiet the
population. But the King, stopping to
address the crowds in the suburb of
Lyngy, was reported to have placed
his stamp of approval on Danish re-
sistance by declaring:
81 am happy that the Danish Ian
guage is still spoken in my father
land. Continue"
On the occasion of his 72nd birth |
day last September 26, while he was
still on his throne, Christian also re-
vealed his contempt for the Nazis. |

their working prisoners on the basis
of the following daily rates: Russian
prisoners, O.40 reichsmark; Polish

the war, the official exchange value
of the reichsmark was 40 cents.

The extent of the food scarcity in
Nazi-occupied France was indicated
in a recent broadcast by the vichy
radio urging French landholders to
harvest all wild fruits" such as
acorns, horse chestnuts and beechnuts
for human and animal" consumption.
The broadcast, beamed overseas,
noted that important quantities" of
such fruits" harvested last year had
eased the food situation.

All thoughtful people in Montana

COOPERATION

Cooperative enterprises can be a
means of inducing employment. The
sale of War Bonds have shown that
many labor unions have invested large
sums of money in bonds and still have
not depleted their bank accounts.
In many cities of the state there is
a need for apartment houses. The
Building Trades of Montana have
enough money and bonds on hand to
erect a number of apartment houses
and thereby keep some of their mem
bers employed and their money at

When a shopkeeper was told, for

Part of this is the fault of the

But the i'll will being stirred up is

Italian Urchins
Test Friendship of Allied Troops

In North Africa probably the one
outstanding reason for the dislike
of the Arab was the dirty, impudent
street urchin perpetually tugging at
ones coattails and yelling: "Shoe-
shine Joe, American polish" One
came into more frequent contact
with them than with all other men,
bers of their race. They seemed
the vilest brats on earth. Then the
Army came to Sicily and found that
the Arab shoe-shine boy was a
relatively well-mannered child.
Hordes of dirty, ragged urchins
were a feature of every Sicilian
town. They literally mobbed one
with their cries of cigarettes, cara
Melli." Here the dirty little boy was
joined by his even dirtier and even
more impudent little sister The
teachings of the Prophet at least
had the merit that it kept the little
girls off the streets. But for i'm
pudences for which the little boy
expected rightly a swift kick of
retribution, his sister had neither
hesitation nor shame.
