Keeping Cows Appetite
Keen HELPS Milk Yield

IF a healthy, well bred cows appe-
tite is kept keen, she should not only
give a lot of milk regularly this year,
but also the next year and the next
until she can be catalogued as
longtime producer. according to +.
J. Perry of Rutgers university.
Every experienced dairyman
knows" he says, ''that most OF the
returns from cows first two pro-
ductive years 60 to pay the cost OF
raising her. A stable full OF long
timers means that the owner Will
stay in the dairy business. and II
also means that he does not let his
cows 60 of feed very often.
''Cows which 60 of feed don't
get that way from eating lot OF
roughage. but usually because they
have consumed too much grain,
especially of the heavy protein vari-
ETY.. There is much evidence. 100,
that heavy granting may be factor
in udder trouble. A wise dairyman
will watch each cow in the herd to
see that her appetite is always keen,
that she is never overfed.
The right way, the extension
dairyman says, is to feed each
animal an amount Of grain accord
ing to her daily milk yield, and salts
fly her appetite by roughage. The
scales will tell whether varying the
grain allowance every 10 days or SC
is worth while.

A SORE SUBJECT

If there is one topic that causes
temper from many a Kennew1ck
citizen, it is the one OF strikes.
This subject is almost unavold-
able when a group starts in on
current events. Conversation
wakes warm over some group OF
employees who are thopping work
until their demands are met.
Sometimes these are imagined
and uncalled for and you can't
blame the public from doing
some exclaiming since justifiable
claims are often covered by the
actions of some strikers over
minor complaints which should
be adjusted without fanfare.
Matters should be peacefully set
tied and never allowed to reach
the stage of stopping work and
jeopardizing the lives of one or
one thousand men on our fight
ing fronts. We heard local man
remark that we would be in a
fine fix if "big brains" would
call halt. He mentioned the
Rockefeller Foundation, Mayo
Clinic, the Henry Fords, engin-
GERS, writer's, surgeons, scientists,
chemists. Many of them can
show that as far as money is
concerned they are underpaid..
They spend long hours OF re-
search and are not named in the
time and a half for overtime
class. Certainly they can prove
that having talent for inventive
ness, for genius in many cases,
for superior intellect, does not
mean labor is easy and their man
ner of living higher in standard
than many other types of work
ers. They are not organized
though perhaps your union MEM
beers would remark that they would
be more intelligent if they did!
In most such cases the individual
seems to be considering bene-
fitting others than themselves
with their skill and knowledge.
AS rule they are spending their
time and education trying to inn

more people with the same name
and initials now living in Kenne-
wick. Unless there is some dis
tinguishing mark, how are the
clerks to tell where to put the mail
when there are perhaps three
names identical receiving mail
from the local office. Just the
town name is not enough any
more. We're growing up and your
mail should be properly addressed.

Eats Win Battle

How much is pound Of fat? It's
the firing of four 81 MN anti-air-
craft shells when Nazi planes fly
over North Africa. It's one and
three-tenths pounds Of cordite which
sends a shell screaming toward an
invasion objective. It's half pound
of dynamite to blow up bridge to
hamper the enemy. It's three eel
lophane bags to protect the gas
masks our soldiers carry. It's 10
rounds from 50-caliber airplane
cannon pointed at Jap. And it's
only one tablespoonful a day sal
vaged from any kitchen in America.
For 81 tablespoons of salvaged waste
kitchen fat make one pound. That
pound, little though it may seem,
provides enough glycerine to put any
busy housewife right onto the field
of battle, fighting beside her hus-
band, her sons, her brothers. Multi
piled by millions of American homes
il could make the difference between
United Nations victory or defeat.

By EUGENE BURNS Associated Press War
 Correspondent

MASSACRE BAY. Attu. May 20. tDelayedJ- A traffic director is responsible for coordinated aerial bombing and artillery smelling on the tenth day of the battle of Attu.
 Lieut.. J.g) Harris o. Torgerson, flying a slow Kingfisher fighter, was the traffic director.
 Lieut.. Torgerson flew within 25o feet of the ridge above Chicagof, then floated around directing four groups where to drop bombs through the fog.
 Finally Torgerson called them off and directed spotted artillery fire until more planes came back with bomb loads. Then he turned on the radio red light for the ar tillery until the fighters were out of the way.
 The planes with their bombs <illed more Japs, for the pilots going down to 50 feet could see the targets the artillerymen could not"

U. <. TROOPS
 MAKE DRIVE,
 R0UT ENEMY
One of Three e Areas on Western Island Cleared
 Situation Uncertain

WASHINGTON, May 26.--United States Troops have wiped out the Jap positions in Chichagof Valley, one of three major areas held by the enemy on Attu island, the Navy announced today.
 Following up this action, drive is now on against the second main position around Chichagof Harbor.
 Army heavy medium bombers and fighter planes are supporting the continuing assault, the Navy says.
 Planes bombed and strafed the enemy positions in the Chiehagof area and started fires and the Chi chagof Valley sectors were cleared of the enemy forces.
 Although there is no report of enemy casualties, it is assumed here the dwindling Jap units on Attu have again lost heavily.
 Those who have survived the at tack fell back upon Chichagof Har- Dor in final stand with their comrades on a ridge overlooking the narrow coastal plan since the Attu action began.
 The report by the Navy still leaves uncertain the military sit- nation on Attu Island at this time.

 Churchill said the British and American leaders have arrived at good conclusions on prosecuting the war in the Pacific with the great est of vigor He covered all phases of the current world conflict in a lengthy talk to the newsmen but emphasized that he is depending more on the force of arms to bring victory than any internal collapse of the enemy.

RAF B0MBERS SPILL LOADS
 ON ND0RTMUND
Sunday Night, Monday, Heavy Attacks Continue
 on Enemy Cenfers

LONDON, May 26.-The armada of the RAF heavy bombers, pro- bably the strongest force so far, unloaded more than 2000 tons of explosives on Dortmund Sunday night and blasted Dusseldorf dur ing the night, continuing the of fensive which was apparently aimed at obliterating Germany's arm S centers one by one.
 Observers estimated that per- haps 500 bombers, at least three quarters of them four-motored craft capable of carrying a tremendous weight of high explosives, partici- pated in the assault.
 Reports of the full extent of the damage are delayed because of heavy clouds. The British lost 27 bombers during the offensive, which continued Monday.
 Shortly after noon a strong force of Allied planes, possibly including bombers, sped across the channel to Calais to resume the batter ing.
 The German communique said that the raid caused Losses among the population, as well as damage to buildings"
 Twenty-four German planes were reported destroyed, the communique said. German planes raided indus trial establishments in Britain yes terday and dropped heavy caliber bombs in Brighton Harbor.

The W aShinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert S. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON.-The other day my daughter was invited to smash a bottle of champagne against the bow of a new Liberty ship. The ship was to be launched at the Wainwright Yard at Panama City Fla, and the ship was to be named the SS Joseph M. Medill, founder of the Chicago Tribune and my daughters great, great grandfather
 My daughter, reasonably compe- tent for seventeen, probably could have managed the champagne smashing without any parental ad- vice. Nevertheless, her a t h e I thought he should go along. (Par- ents will be that way, of course0
 I was glad I did. had never seen a ship-launching before and it is worth seeing. It is especially worthwhile to watch the precision teamwork with which every work man on the job goes about 1t. The sponsor, up above, gets the limelight; but down below goes on the work that really counts. This particular launching was in charge of Bill Tait, a Scotsman who has been launching ships ever since the year I was born.
 He had the SS Joseph M. Medlll scheduled to go down the ways at noon sharp Actually, she got rest less and departed at 11:55) To pre- pare for this, the launching crew began at 9:30 am. and was given a mimeographed chart of each move to be made in the intricate job of easing the 10,000-to ton freighter into the water.
