What is described by its creator,

camera or personal type radio
sets manufactured prior to the war.
1t will provide good radio reception
at all times. Its batteries are self

in the wire leading to the ear
piece.
Here will be radio set of OBJ
vious appeal. 1t can easily be car

operated anywhere without dis

and tubes in the small, marvelously
compact case - not much larger
than a cigarette case.
Still engaged entirely in war pro-
duction, the manufacturers would
not state specifically when the new
radio would be placed on the mar
ket. That it has passed prelimi-
nary tests with flying colors would
seem to indicate an immediate pro-
duction schedule as soon as existing
government production restrictions
affecting the entire radio industry
are removed.

Canadian Threshing Cre,us

Canadian threshing outfits are al
ready at work helping harvest the
U. S. 1945 bumper wheat crop, un-
der special mutual aid arrange
ments. American machinery and
crews will 60 to Canada later on to
return this assistance.
Need for as rapid harvesting as
weather conditions will permit is as
great this year as at any time dur
ing the war, government surveys
show, although crop prospects are
not yet sufficiently definite to permit
any comparison of the size of this
seasons harvest job with that of
1914.
State chairmen of the Agriculture
Adjustment agency are handling
requests by grain producers for this
assistance.
Some of the Canadian units are
beginning their work as far south
as Texas and progressing northWard
through Oklahoma, Kansas, Colo
RADIO. Nebraska, Wyoming, the Da.
kotas, Minnesota and Montana.
1t has been agreed that Canadian
threshing crews may remain in the
United States until September IL
this year. Machinery and crews
from this country may enter Cana
da when their services are required,
but may not remain longer than De-
cember 81.

of progress on the new gun had been
made. But the real test would come
in the ''innards" where more than
200 parts would have to take, and
stand up under, 20 explosions per
second.
In August of 1914. just is months
later. two ultra-speed so caliber ma
chine guns were ready for testing.
They worked. Immediately more
guns were made. They too worked.
The army was elated, for this new
gun provided an increase in fire-pow-

New Machine
Duncan Shoot
1000 a Minute
Improved Back Plate, New
Type of Recoil Mechanism,
Solve Knotty Problems

A new, ultra-speed so caliber ma
chine gun has been perfected by the
engineering department of Frigi-
daire division of General Motors cor
poration, in collaboration with the
Office of the chief of ordnance, U. S.
army.
The new gun, already tested in
combat. spews out so caliber slugs
at the exceptionally high rate of
1900 minute, 20 shots a second.
This is so per cent faster than the
so caliber guns now in use. This
ultra-rapid fire literally "sprays"
bullets from single gun. But there
is nothing "spray-like" in the way
these bullets hit. Some idea of this
can be had from the fact that. if the
IA so caliber guns on a BIS bomb
er were of this new type. it could
shoot $50 of them in short burst
Of one second.
The present so caliber gun, now
in use all over the world, is the
basic weapon of the air corps. Gen.
H. H. Arnold has said, 1.-THE very
low mortality rate among our bomb
ers can be largely credited to this
gun" Maj. Gen. L. H. Campbell Jr.,
of army ordnance. has stated that
$50 caliber machine guns account
for over 80 per cent of all aircraft
fire-power." From this it is quickly
understandable what this increased
firing rate will mean in annihilating

factories of all kinds, and oil and
gasoline storage depots.
Development Began in 1918.
AS the First World war neared its
close, the need became apparent for
a machine gun having more strik-
ing power than the 80 caliber guns
then in general use. At that time,
the development of so caliber ma
chine gun was started. In August,
1918, the first so caliber machine
gun was completed. This gun fired
at the then considered fast rate of
500 rounds per minute. By June, 1923,
a so caliber machine gun accept
able to the army was finally pro-
duced and standardized. These guns
were used by the army on tanks,
armored cars and other heavy. mo-
bile field equipment. They were also
used as anti-aircraft weapons. And

Saving Nicotine Can
Be Made bv Practice

insufficient nicotine will be avail
able unless extreme care is taken
IN its conservation. The average
farmer wastes about half of the
nicotine he purchases.
The following are the reminders
on how the saving may be brought
about.
Don't dust with nicotine when
weather is cold.
Don't dust when wind is blowing.
Don't run the fan too fast.
Don't drive too fast.
Don't delay application.
Spot-dust with manchester.
Treat the seed bed.
Dip plants before transplanting.
Keep plants growing vigorously.

not. The United States army knew
that eventually the enemy would

Success At Last.
First experiments on the new prof.

very disheartening. The old, i'm

the haggard engineers. 1t just
couldn't be done. Nature would not

ing on the improvement of the stand
ard so caliber, discovered a new
way to design and attach the back
plate. This was found to be exactly
what was needed to withstand the
pounding of the recoil 200 times a
minute for the new gun.
Another man, looking for a better
method of cushioning the recoil, tried
Belleville spring washers and found
that they improved the shock abb
sorption SO well that they, too, were
exactly what was needed for the
new gun. And they completely
eliminated the bug-a-boo of an oil
cylinder shock absorber which,
while standard, was always trouble
some. So, if nothing else happened,

Economic Balance Sought

1t is true that in some areas there
have been rumblings from farmers
against high wartime wages =.
that these wages have lured men
away from farms that workers
should have saved enough to tide
them over. Nevertheless, the con.
sideration is now peacetime wages
with shorter hours and no overtime.
Labor does not expect to receive
war wages in peace time. nor does
the farmer expect to get war prices
In peace time. What both farm and
labor leaders here are striving for
is a standard of wages and prices
which will assure an economic bal.
ance in the postwar era.
High on the list of musts in agri.
cultural legislation is the program
supported by all farm organizations,
to regroup farm credit and loaning
agencies into one independent agen.
cy. This will mean a complete re-
organization of the department of
agriculture. Secretary Anderson has
already made start in this dirsc.
ton by revamping the war food
agencies into commodity divisions,
with direct line Of responsibility.
The general idea behind the indie.
pendent farm credit agency is still
to loan federal money, but to create
closer local control for its use.

Admiral Marc A. Mitscher returned
unobtrusively today to the town OF
his birth and reunion with his
mother, Mrs. Myrta Mitscher, their
first meeting in ii years.
The admiral, who has been or
dered to duty in Washington "for
the present." reached home in time
for breakfast. His early arrival
from La Crosse, where he spent the
night, caught Hillsboro residents by
surprise. Except for newspapermen,
who were waiting at the outskirts,
Admiral Mitscher's drive down the
fag-bedecked main street was vir-
tually unnoticed.
Accompanied by Mrs. Mitscher,
the admiral went to the home of his
aunt, Mrs. Helen Pinch, where his
mother has resided for the last year.
Admiral Mitscher revealed last
night in La Cross, Wis, that he
would report to the Navy Depart
ment in Washington shortly after
the reception at Hillsboro.
Admiral Mitscher, who led the
famed Task Force So to many VIC
tories against the Japs, hasn't been
here since 1884, when he was a
lieutenant commander.
Mayor Howard Moon said the citi-
zens would like to pay honor to the
admiral, but not intrude on his re-
union with his mother. She had
urged the Hillsboro citizens not to
make any "fuSs" over her sons visit.
