"On the train on my way here I
had the most dreadful Nightmares.
The last night 1 dreamed that
Tommy phoned my hotel but

in fact, everything, but somehow she
always managed to get back to

Attention Turned To
New War Problems

Plans to increase the supply OF
surgical sutures much needed by doc
tors and hospitals were discussed
Monday at meeting of sheep breed
ers, veterinarians and vocational
agricultural teachers at Hinckley. w
E. Morris, sheep specialist from Uni
versity Farm, explained that surg
ical sutures or so-called "catgut" are
made from the small intestines o1
sheep.
The great increase in demand for
surgical sutures to be used in the
war and the restriction in imports oi
this material has placed the burden
of production on the American farm
er. Mr.. Morris explained that high
percentage of sheep in the middle
west are infected with 'nodular dis
ease," condition which renders the
sheep intestines unfit for use in surg
ical work.
A new treating drug, phenothiazine
has been discovered which will con-
troll disease. By drenching ewes this
winter with phenothiazine, sources
of infection may be removed so that
the new lamb crop may be free from
the disease. Plans were laid at the
meeting to hold several drenching
demonstrations in the county in an
effort to bring this new treating
method to the attention of every sheep
raiser in the county.

Must Keep Vital
Information, Secret

The fighting units of men in the
armed forces now serving overseas
or the ships on which they are serv-
ing are to be kept secret, the Office
of Censorship warned in recent
statement.
Specifically the warning states: Dc
not tell the names of ships upon
which sailors serve. Do not tell the
troop units in which soldiers serve
overseas.
There is no objection to revealing
that "Pvt. John Jones is in Australia
or that Seaman Tom Brown saw
action in the Pacific" but giving the
units or the ships is harmful and
may furnish information to the enc
my. Relating personal experiences
of servicemen is also permissible.

Trends Prevail.

South. ST. Paul, Mimi, January S.
1943. (USDA): No changes of con-
sequence developed in the slaughter
cattle trade during the first week OF
the new year. Supplies continued
light, this factor probably aiding in
bolstering the market as all major
packer buyers talked bearishly. Some
choice mixed steers and heifers
brought $16.35 on Tuesday, this being
the highest price in several weeks
Most of the medium and good steers
moved at $500 to $500.
Medium and good heifers had a
range of $11.50 to $14.00, common
kinds going at $9.25 to $10.50. Up
ward to STATS was paid for good
cows, and bulls reached $13.25. Com
mon and medium cows had range
of $9.25 to $10.50, Gamers and cut
tiers going at $500 to $500. Vealers
hit $1,000, new top since 1880
Stockers and feeders held about
steady, some good and choice feeder
steers making $13.25 to $3.50.
Hog Supplies Light.
Light supplies featured the years
initial session in the hog division and
higher price trends prevailed. Tues
days market was lower with most
of the gains on butcher hogs erased
Compared with last Thursday sows

pounds and up sold at the top Of

higher. Good and choice offerings

late at S13.75 to $14.00.
Fat lamb prices were generally
steady for the week thus far, while

Meeting Of Farm
Production Goal
Large 1913 Task
Farm Mobilization Day on
January IL to Inaugurate
Program.

The 1943 Food for Freedom pro-
gram is the meeting of farm pro-
duction goals, and the heart of the
program is the individual farm plan
in which each farmer assumes his
share of the goals, Cornelius Nieboer,
Pine County USDA War Board chair
man, said this week.
Meeting the goals is the one thing
that matters" he said. Everything
contemplated must be weighed in
terms of whether it helps to produce
wartime commodities. Farmers will
be notified of these goals when AAA
farmer-elected committeeman visit
their farms after Farm Mobilization
day January r."

Mr.. Nieboer emphasized that 'every
farmer must plan to turn out just
as much of each needed war COM
modify as he can."
There is no question but what
free men the world over are asking
for a tremendous contribution from
farmers, he said, but farm families
will exert themselves to the best Of
their ability to meet the call.
An explanation of the necessity for
producing essential foods and fibers

discussion of the difficulties and
problems farmers will meet in meet
ing 1943 production goals will high

ings scheduled to be held in every
rural community in the county. These
meetings will be conducted by neigh
borhood leaders with the help of
AAA committeeman.
Biggest Single War Task.
"The American farmer did a grand
job in 1912 and will continue to put
forth his best efforts in 1943 despite
shortages of labor, machinery and
transportation facilities" Mr.. Me
boer stated, adding that 'his is the
biggest single war task, with not
only our way of life but our lives
depend on how well he succeeds in
meeting the production goals.
Town people can aid in this tre-
mendous task by preventing waste
refraining from boarding and by as
suming a sympathetic and helpful
attitude. Businessmen and town boys
and girls may be called upon this
summer to lend a hand where needed
and that call will not be in vain,"
the chairman concluded.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

No less stunning and amazing than
was the surprise attack on Pearl
Harbor on December 7, 1941, was the
official revelation early this week
that the United States government
had been repeatedly warned over a
long period of years that just such
an attack was likely to take place at
just that point.
Joseph C. Grew, United States
ambassador to Tokyo, time and
again sent urgent dispatches to
Washington making it clear that
the Japanese were preparing a
sudden assault to be carried out
under certain circumstances.
1t is also disclosed that the Jap
anese government suggested meet
ing on shipboard between Premier
Konoye and President Roosevelt some
time before the dreadful Pearl Har-
Dor incident, but that the suggestion
was not accepted in Washington.
There is no doubt that the pub
lication of the documents referring
to Japanese-American relations will
stir up a lot of discussion-in fact,
they seem to invite it.
Not Very Active.
Be the background of the matter
whatever it may-one fact stands out
now thirteen months after Pearl Har-
Dor, and that is that the japanese do
not seem to be very active on any
front, and that they have won not a
single victory anywhere for long
time.
In China, for instance, very little
fighting has been reported for months,
and Chinese resistance would appear
to have stemmed further Japanese
advance, but at Chungking General
issimo Chang Kai-shek is asking for
more war supplies from America and
other United Nations and has, in
deed, limited some dissatisfaction with
the manner in which aid is being
sent in far too inadequate quantities.
To emphasize his complaint,
