Gen. Arnold is RIGHT and every
American military authority
KNOWS he is right.
But it cannot be assumed that
what he proposes will be done,
merely because it is right.
TOO many Americans with high
Il responsibility in this matter are
not thinking of it in terms of Amer
lean rights, or even of American
SECURITY.
Too many responsible Americans
are thinking of it in terms of man
dates or truSteeships or other inter
national controls which would
restrict and hamper American utili-
zation of the Pacific islands in all
cases, and perhaps PREVENT their
sole use by the United States in the
most vital cases.
The recent United Nations con-
ference in San Francisco spent much
time debating the future status of
the Pacific islands, and only clouded
the issue.
1t was not a decision for that con-
ference, or any other international
assembly to make.
It is not the BUSINESS of other
nations, but only our AMERICAN
business-and we should keep it that
way.
AS Gen. Arnold says, America
NEEDS a permanent bridge across
the Pacific" for our own security.
Since we have now BOUGHT
that vital Pacific bridge with Amer
lean lives and blood and treasure, let
us keep it intact and KEEP 1T PER
MANENTLY.

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE
w end Of the Truman house
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-07-15
BY ELLEN GATH
Illustrated by Harry Beckhof

This was not a reaction with which Lily was
familiar. 1t palled. 1t even irked.
And he appeared to have rooted down
nicely in the Thorndyke household for the
duration, plus.
Lily planned furiously. She would take
Murphy, the ancient Thorndyke butler and
Rosa the cook. She would close part of the
house and leave Celeste, her maid, to do for
the Professor. And surely if the man had any
vestige of decency, he would take himself off
For Professor Gabsovitch had ample means
Jason, had he been himself might have
protested this jettisoning of a guest But
Jason was entirely Indifferent. Jason was lost
somewhere in fog all his own.
As for Professor Gabsovitch, he merely
raised languid eyebrow.
So Lily made all the arrangements, and
brightly envisioned a glorious month with a
speedily rejuvenated Jason.
Then on the day of their departure, the
Professor dropped down to breakfast, gave
them fshy stare and said tonelessly, I've
decided I'd be better off in the country, too.
Told your man to pack my things"
Lily was caught fiat, with no chance to
maneuver. IF I'd only had couple of hours"
she thought bitterly, 81 could have managed
something" -.
The Berkshires were glorious. The weather
was just right Wonderful sun during the day,
wonderful cool evenings, and little rain now
and then during the night when it didn't get
in anybody's way.

Quick Work, Lily!

canary Now he's got Jason doing it too. Oh,
bother the Professor anyway! What can we
do about Jason?"
He must have complete rest" said DR..
MacDougal, land peace of mind The coun-
try would be the best place for him."
I'VE could go up to our place in the Berk-
shires, if Jason only would. I've tried to get
him to go all summer 1t will have to be a strict
order from you, Doctor"
Very well. I'll have a serious talk with
him. And remember, he must have quiet No
excitement
He looked sternly at Lily. mo emotional
scenes" he concluded. :.
Lily was not deeply perturbed about the
state of Jason's health. She adored the
ground he trod upon and would have been
wildly alarmed if she thought hair of his
head was actually threatened, but she was
healthy person herself, and mere nerves did
not impress her. So presently, Jason having
istlessly agreed to the doctors order, she
began to see in this exodus heaven-sent
opportunity to rid themselves of the Professor.
PROFESSOR GABSOVITCH had been a dispirit-
ing guest. He spoke little, save when some
sudden noise shocked his nerves. Then he be-
came both profane and voluble. And when he
did occasionally make an effort at conversa-
ton, it was to contribute something disagree
able, usually aimed at Lily. The Professor
seemed to feel that women had no grasp of
physics. For this he despised them in general,
and in particular he was hostile towards Lily.

progressed, Jason seemed to sink deeper into
his daze. And the Professor was eternally
and lugubriously present.
The small estate, which had belonged to
Jasons grandfather, boosted brook This
had been damned up with a sluce gate to
form goodish pond. Above the gate was
fetching little bridge of birch trees. And be-
low the bridge. at each side of the gate, were
small sundecks of concrete. These became the
roosting places of Jason and the Professor.
All day long they lay there, one on each side,
gazing listlessly into space.
ONE afternoon, Lily, discovering that the
Professor had abandoned his post for a few
brief moments, demonstrated with Jason.
Il wish you wouldn't stay near him all the
time, darling" she urged. Il knoto he's catch
ing"
What do you mean?" asked her husband
with faint flicker of interest.
Hes catching. You got your depression
from him."
Don't be absurd. Depression isn't con-
tagious."
why, it is too! It's enough for me to sit
beside somebody in bus who's feeling low
to get the blues myself!'
Anyway, I'm not depressed" said Jason.
We'll, what are you then? What are you,
darling?"
I'm just tired" said Jason, and closed
his eyes.
Lily went in search of her only solace,
Mr.. Semphill, the gardener. She found him
tucking away the asparagus bed for its long
winter nap She sat down on a nearby rock
and watched his sure, leisurely movements.
There was something hypnotically soothing
about watching Mr. Semphil garden.
Presently she sighed.
Mr. Semphill sat back on his heels, pushed
up his straw hat and gave Lily piercing
scrutiny. IF it was me" he said finally, I'D
poke him up a little"
Lily had no difficulty in following the trend
of Mr. Semphill's thought She and MIR.
Semphill had passed through deep waters
side by side, during the rise and bourgeoning
of an out-sized Victory Garden
But the doctor said he must have quiet
No excitement. No emotional scenes"
He's been getting quiet, amt he? And he's
worse off than when he come up. A young man
like him hadn't ought to be lallygagging
around"
Though Jason was in his early forties, to
Mr.. Semphill, rising eighty, he seemed just
in the shank of the evening.
How poke him up?" Lily demanded.
Get him provoked. Get his dander up"
"How?"
That's your business" said Mr.. Semp-
hill, and went back to his asparagus.
But Jason needed quiet. Lily began to
brood.

Tests Bring
Conclusions

BOHEMIAN - Stockman who are
Wintering beef cattle will be inter
ested in four important conclusions
made BY the North Montana branch
experiment station at Havre after
it's experiments to determine the
most economical and practical
methods of %wintering beef cows.
From these tests the station draws
the following conclusions:
l. Feed very thin COWS enough to
gain 100 to $50 pounds or enough to
offset calving loss.
2. Cows in fair condition need to
be fed only enough to maintain body
weight.
g. F1eshy cows may lose consid-
cradle weight during the winter with
out harm.
4. Thin COWS produce as large
calves at birth as fat cows. Thin
COWS produce as large calves at
weaving time as fat COWS. provided
feed oil grass is plentiful enough
during the spring and summer TO
insure sufficien. milk.
These tests also show that there
is no advantage in feeding high
protein rations nor is there any ad-
vantage in putting high winter gains
on cows. It was also found that
under conditions at the branch
station, COWS fed heavily during the
winter lose more weight during the
following summer than COWS fed
more limited rationS.

in Unit That Did

This supply route enabled oper-

taking speed with which United
States Army forces reached Paris,
high-ranking officers have told the
company.
Commanded by First Lieutenant
Lyle E. Phillips. the unit was assign

France in July. The work often took
the men into fighting areas, and at
M time found them on the left
flank of a spearhead.

Demand Heavy
For New
Alfalfa Type

BOHEMIAN Although seed of
the new Ranger alfalfa variety was
harvested from almost 1000 acres
in Montana in 1914, this is but a
drop in the bucket compared to the
demand and the state could well
have 10000 acres seeded to this new
variety. says Ralph D. Mercer, eX-
tension agronomist at Montana
State college.
Ranger alfalfa was developed
specifically to meet the needs of
growers in areas where bacterial wilt
is a serious factor in production,
Mercer explained. Favorable reports
from these areas indicate that the
demand for this wilt-resistant al
falfa will remain heavy for a num-
Der of years. he said.
Because other states are making
requests for seed from supplies in
Montana, growers interested in
Ranger alfalfa should make arrange
ments Immediately with their county
agent for a supply of seed, Mercer
said. Growers must meet two re-
quirements in producing Ranger
seed. First, each field must be at
least n half mile from any other
alfalfa; and second, all Ranger seed
produced must be proceSsed, tagged
and sealed by the Montana Seed
Growers association.
