F'The pig that pay" is the extra" one that lives in an average
litter. Baby pig death losses of from 80 to SO per cent are far
too high. They can be greatly reduced.
Cleanliness is the first rule of profitable hog raising. Dirt
breeds disease and parasites, so it pays to move young pigs to
clean pastures and to keep them away from old pens and yards.
Cholera and erysipelas can be prevented by early vaccination,
and transfer of diseases from newly purchased hogs can be con-
trolled by a period of isolation.
Observe common-sense rules and your pigs will live and grow.
Feed them well and when your hogs are ready, you'll get your
profit" from the extra ones raised in each litter.

RURAL BATHTUB AND
TOILET ADMINISTRATION
(Brawley News)

A bill was recently introduced in con-
gress to establish rural telephone ad-
ministration, on the theory that not
sufficient number of farmers have tele-
phones. There was the minor item of
$100,000,000 for annual expenditures by
the new RITA which would be set up with
highly-paid appointed officials perma-
emily on the taxpayers necks.
While no survey" has been made, it is
likely that there are more farmers with
out modern bathtubs and patent toilets
than there are without. Therefore, it
would seem reasonable to suggest that
rural bathtub and toilet administration
be established, with inspectors to check
all farm houses. A project of this kind
could spend hundreds of millions of dol
lars year of the taxpayers money in
stead of a mere hundred million. Of
course, the United States has more tele-
prones, bathtubs and toilets than all the
res of the world which indicates that
none of the industries involved have been
sleeping at the switch and they probably
will move faster after the war to see that
their service and produces reach the maxi
mum number of people, than would any
government bureau.
Just why the government should use
back entry, disguised as the rural tele-
phone administration, to get it's foot into
the door Of the telephone business, is
hard to understand, except that it is
part of the general program of those who
would socialize American industry And
a telephone in every farm house. whether
it is needed or not, is good bait to win
public approval of federal spending
which slowly but surely curbs individual
incentive, opportunity and, ultimately
liberty itself.

GRAND OLD MAN

(Riverside Daily Press)
The worlds grand old man is Jan
Smuts, the South African premier, who
has just celebrated his 10th birthday
At the beginning of the century he was
commander-in-chief of the Boer forces
in their war against Great Britain. When
tke British gave his country self-govern-
ment within the empire he settled down
as a loyal British subject. In the last
war he was member of the British i'm
perial war cabinet, and helped frame the
treaty of Versailles. After President
Wilson was the most influential worker
for the League of Nations
Premier off and on for many years in
South Africa, he was out of office when
the war broke. When many of his fellow
Dutchmen, who still bore a grudge against
England, wanted to be neutral or pro-
German, SHUTS spoke out for declara-
tion of war, and ever since has been a
pillar of strength on the Allied side
Few men have lived as full or useful
life as Jan SmutS

SHALL MIDNIGHT CURFEW
ON LIGHTS CONTINUE?

There will be no end of interest dis
played in the suggestion of an Ell Centro
businessman, head of a Chamber of Com
merce committee on street lights in the
city.
He says his committee will consider
recommending that the downtown lights,
especially along Main street, be kept
burning later than the customary mid
night limit.
Probably these businessmen have
heard, as have other citizens, of people
passing through the city without know
ing their was city," because of an un-
lighted main thoroughfare for half the
night.
No progressive city or community can
have too much street lighting. 1t is sure
way to minimize all the other favorable
comment city can attract. And that is
not good economy.

Marines Laugh
At Jap Shells

OKINAWA, June T. (AP)-T Teams
of the 9Th marine division strung
600 feet of wire across Naha har-
Dor to enable marines who landed
on Oroku peninsula to maintain
telephone contact with division
headquarters, it was learned
First, 1t. Millard kaufman said
marine signal corpsemen using rub
ber beats, strung wire to the mast
of a sunken japanese vessel in the
middle of the harbor under intense
Japanese machine gun sniper and
mortar fire. Then they hauled it
over seven-foot retaining wall and
connected it to Col Alan Shapley's
fourth regimental command pest.
The job was completed in three
hours and not marine was injured
Pfc. Jasper E. Bridgewater, Hol-
comb, Washington, lived up to his
name in great style by shinnying
up the mast of the vessel and hook
ing the cable around the top while
artillery shells and mcrtars cracked
all around him, according to Kauf-
man.

WILL RUSSIA REMAIN
NEUTRAL WITH JAPAN?

Out of the official details of the docu-
ments agreed to and signed by the major
powers in taking over control OF Germany
appears more than hint that Russia
does not intend to break her neutral con-
tract with Japan. 1t is true that Salin
refused to renew the non-aggression pact
with Tokyo early this spring. But the
pact itself has almost a year to run.
World observers at that time profesSed
to believe that refusal to continue the
agreement was tantamount to Russia
breaking off ties entirely with Hirohito
and that soon after that stand was taken
Russia would go as far as to declare war
against our Oriental foe. Or at least
make available strategic air bases on the
Asiatc continent for our airplane attacks
on Japan's homeland.
But these views and hopes appear to
have been founded on too wide an inter-
probation of that diplomatic maneuver,
When Eisenhower and Montgomery
hastened to Berlin Tuesday to meet
Stalin's ENJOYS for signing of final ar
ticles of agreement on Allied parceling
out and control of the Reich, they soon
learned that the Japs and Russia, to all
intents and purposes, are friends
The disclosure that Moscow intends to
maintain her neutrality with Japan came
when the Russ envoy held up completion
of signing the documents until the
American and British ENJOYS agreed to
delete one article of the document. That
article had to do with the Allies having
full power over peoples of. other nations
at war with any of Allies, and who might
be within the confines of the Reich.
The clause read:
''The forces, nationals, ships, aircraft,
military equipment and other property
in Germany or in German control or SER
vice or at German disposal, or any other
country at war with any of the Allies
will be subject to the provisions of this
declaration and of any proclamations,
orders, ordinances or instructions issued
hereunder"
The word nationals of course would
include Japs Had Russia accepted that
article she would have been forced to
seize any Jap individual or Jap property
in the area of Germany allotted to her
under the control act.
In the end, Tuesday, the entire article
was stricken for the time being.
1t may be the other Allies wrote it
specifically to smoke Stain out on his
future attitude on the war in the Pacific.
If so, the move has succeeded 1t is quite
apparent that Stain intends to take his
own time in deciding whether to help de-
feat Japan or to let the United States go
on alone.

JAPANESE FLEE

organized bands.
The pear-shaped battle ground
formed by the two railway lines
branching north from Thai and
enclosed by bend in the IT.
rawaddy river now is hunting
ground for the British seeking out
remnants of the Japanese, estl-
mated month ago to be 10000
strong.
British tank columns had field
day on the Mandalay plain where
they found terrain suited to row
ing armor for the first time in
the Burma campaign. The COM
bined U. S. A. A. F. and British
Air Force swept the sky clear OF
the enemy.
Currently the enemy has dis
connected forces south and east OF
Kyaukse and of Kyaukpadauns,
south of Meiktila and on both sides
of the Irrawaddy north of Chauk,
with tenuous supply lines and lit
tie intercommunication.
Obviously an extensive regroup-
ing now is under way for the next
phase of the Burma battle. Mill
tary actions reported in the daily
communicate were confined large
" to air attacks on commun1ca-
tons and hopping up operations
