 The paganistic motif bobs up again in the burning of the Yule Log which is certainly tied in in- extricably with Christmas but which can be traced back to the word Jul and the Goths' festival commemorating the winter sol stice.

 The Christmas tree is entirely Germanic in origin and first made it's appearance at Strasburg in 1905. It was not until l840 that the Princess of Mecklenberg in troduced it in England to become immediately a Christmas fixture.

\Y/HEN you've been can
w ming foods till you're
tired of the sight of the
jars, kettles and the hot
range, there is another
method of preserving which
requires a minimum of Ia
Dor and materials. This
is our grandmotherS' way
of salting vegetables.
While there is some loss
of vitamins due to the neces-
sary soaking and rinsing of
salted vegetables before
cooking, foods preserved by
this method still remain
wholesome and uSable.
A further advantage of
brining, especially for those
without pressure cookers, is
the fact that, according 10
the u. S. Department of
Agriculture, the poisonous
botu1inuS bacteria will not
grow in salt solutions when
more than nine per cent Of
salt is present. Brining or
dry sailing involves the use
of considerably more than
this per cent.

Hard Fought

McClure's Service moved a half
game in front in the red-hot race
for the pennant in Ypsilanti City
League by downing Moose S to 4
in a hard fought game at Recrea.
tlon Park, Tuesday evening.
Moose got away to lead In the
first frame OF the contest when
they combined two hits and an err
ror for two TALES.
Their advantage was short-liyed,
however, as McClure's took advan-
tage OF wildness TO score three
runs in the last half OF the frame
without the benefit OF hit.
Both pitchers settled down at this
point and there was no further
scoring until the fifth when Nc
Clure's pushed across a single run
to 60 out in front, to 2.
Moose tied the score at four all
in the sixth, but again McClure's
rallied in their half, this time for
four runs and the ball game.
Fry, with triple and McCrumb,
with a double, led the winners at
tack. Dsschner got two hits for

YOU MAY NEVER have thought Of it in

to earn their living, and . they spend most
of what they take in
The picture above, for example, sym
bolizcs the raw materials General Mills
bought last year from the farmer and other
producers. The Approximately 100000
we spent for cereal grains, packages and
sacks, vegetables and sugar and many other
products was actually about thrce-fourths
of all the money We received from the sale
OF our products.
In fact, all but about % out of every dollar
Of our income was spent when the year
ended for raw materials, TO pay en-

of our plants, the distribution Of our prod
ucts, employee retirement benefits and for
other expenses.
Part of the % out Of every dollar that re-
manned was divided among $500 stock
holders. The rest was retained to strengthen
the business and for the development of new
General Mills products which in turn will
create new opportunity for our returning
service men e.. new markets for the farmer
and better living for all of US.

Dillon and convert the plant into
an old peoples home. Certain of
the aged now cared for at the
Warm Springs hospital would then
be removed to the Dillon institu-
ton. That looks like common sense
Perhaps in the early days when
travel was more difficult there was
justification for normal schools in
various parts of the state. But to-
day with modern bus and railroad
systems, that justification has
largely disappeared. Surely there
can be little need to maintain a
state educational institution if 30
students is all that it serves. These
thirty could easily be taken care
of in other normals.

A Good Idea

Representative Eric Anderson, a
member of the Montana legislative
assembly and farmer, has intro
duced bill that would put Mon
tana back on standard time. He says
present war time is a nuisance to
farmers and to others who have to
90 to work early in the morning.
Many in this part of the state will
agree with him.
In this northern cline daylight
saving" time doesn't work out so
well. In fact, it really is daylight
losing time. Farmers, school STU
dents and others who go to work
by 8 o'clock or earlier find them
selves arising in pitch darkness
just as dark as though one got up
in the middle Of the night. Stu
dents wend their way to school un-
der starlight. A little incident. A
Libby mother tells how her small
daughter returned home one morn
ing after starting for school with
the remark, I'm afraid to 60 to
school, mama, it's so dark out
there
If the clocks were set back to
standard time, daylight would be
an hour nearer at getting-up time
than it now is. That would be an
advantage and would cut down the
use Of electricity AT the present
time daylight continues in the ev-
ening until after o'clock. Thus
workers going off shift at or S
o'clock would still be quitting in
daylight. Plants that work the full
"a hours would still consume the
same amount of electricity in lights.
The objection that confusion
would result with Montana's time
different from other states is not
convincing. AS an example. At
present Libby people operate under
one time, those west Of Troy under
a time an hour later This differ
ence in time causes no confusion
whatever. Everyone knows that
there's an hours difference in time
in the two districts and that's all
there is to it,
War time or daylight saving
time is misnomer in this northern
country. It's difficult for US to see
where any saving is made in the
consumption Of electric power. Per
sonally we'd like to go back to
standard time and we believe most
people in this district are Of like
mind
