WALLACE, Sept. lin the to-
bacco business, like everywhere
else, it's the pennies that count
Mindful that enough pennies put
together add up to a whole lot OF
dollars, farmers OF this area are
looking forward with happy hope
to the second week of the tobacco
marketing season which gets un-
derway Tuesday at AM. after
a long weekend rest because OF
the Labor Day holiday today.
The penny angle comes this
way: Figures released Saturday
show the price averages for the en-
tire Eastern Tobacco Belt, the
largest flue-cured belt in the
world, was $43.34 per hundred
pounds Of tobacco sold.
The Wallace market as it's had
the habit Of doing for many years
passed, topped this figure by near
ly $500 per hundred. The Wallace
figure for the first five days Of the
sale, during which the market sold
more than a million pounds of the
weed, was $45.25 per hundred
pounds.
There must be a good reason for
this. Wallace is one Of the many
markets in the Eastern Belt yet it
shows a price average of exactly
$1.91 per hundred pounds higher
than its sister markets through
out the belt. When confronted by
these figures today, a couple Of
farmers who are getting ready for
sales next week opined that the
Wallace marketers are all veteran
warehousemen who are thorough
ly finniliar with the business In
this section and that they're all
working together with one goal
in view: the highest possible dollar
for the farmers who, after all, 60

NOBODY HAS TO
GO HUNGRY!

taking most of our magnesium
from sea water, and the CONNER
cial extraction of gold from the
same source is just around the
corner. Plankton, which is incom-
parably more abundant, offers far
fewer engineering problems. Nutri-
tionists have called plankton "the
greatest unused and unrecognized
source of food for man and beast"
The ocean could make the supply
OF basic nutriments almost as
plentiful as the air we breathe.
Will mankind learn to use the
new food resources science is un-
locking? Or have diet habits be-
come so fixed that people would
rather starve than try something
unfamiliar? That question could
only occur to well-fed people.
Consider what happens every year
in famine areas: Mothers pluck
grass to still the hunger pangs
of their babies. Thousands eat
clay and the bark from trees.
These are hardly conventional.
They are not even foods.
Now consider what would hap
pen if the UN or some other world
agency were to set up a globe
circling organization of scientists,
laboratories and processing plants
to create the elements needed for
a Basic World Diet.
A Better Lie
ADEQUATE food for all would not
only meet famine conditions but
enable mankind to double its
physical and mental energies.
Relieved of their greatest source
of worry and unrest, men could
divert their energies from defensive
measures tc bettering conditions of
human life everywhere.
The disease toll would start
falling rapidly, while life expec-
fancy shot upward. Some of the
deadliest of hidden diseases like
pellagra or tuberculosis would
dwindle away; for the first time
in human history medicine could
hold out the hope of eventually
banishing communicable diseases
altogether. Motherhood no
longer would be menaced by
still-births resulting from mall
nutrition. In generation or two,
homo sabiens would add two to
three inches to average height and
most of the discrepancies between
classes and races would disappear.
Sciences promise of plenty for
all is not one to be lightly taken
or lightly made. The men who
make it are not given to toying
with humanity's hopes. For they,
better than anyone else, know
what it would mean to all of us
if famine were conquered and no
body had to 60 hungry. The End

Want A Chicken! 136,OOO,O 900 for Sale

WASHINGTON (P)-Victorious poultrymen hailed the end of poultryless Thursday Saturday with call for the public to eat more instead of fewer chickens.
 Pledged to save 56,000,000 bush els of grain by reducing the size of their flocks, the growers faced the problem of peddling l36,000,000 birds between now and Jan. in the face of huge cold storage sup plies already on hand.

Discriminate
 Against Alaska; Land, Air And Sea

CHICAGO, P)-GoVernor 'Er- nest Gruening of Alaska declared Friday that the northern Territory "has been, and is being, grossly discriminated against" by the fed- eral government in many mat ters, including ground, sea and air transportation"
 "This situation is not the fault of any individual or political party" he told a meeting of the Executives Club of Chicago, "It's just the system-the time-honored system of Washington'S neglect and lack of interest"
 Gruening said the present gov ernment-established air system connecting Alaska and the United States is the monopoly of one air line providing only two routes, one a direct line from the midwest, the other a circuitous route from the midwest to the west coast to Alaska. Charges to and from Alas ka by the direct route, which takes IA hours, are just as much as those for the longer route, which takes "A hours"
 The governor said Alaska also is being discriminated against with regard to its highway system be- cause it never has been included in the U. s. highway laws"
 We've had to foot our own highway bills, without the benefit of federal help, which the States automatically receive by federal law" he asserted.

CeOdetic Survey Charts Arctic Coast Near Pt. Barrow

SEATTLE, (H) - A coast and geodetic survey party, headed by It. Comdr. R. w. Woodwork, re- turned here Saturday after chart ing Alaska's Arctic coast line for a distance of 70 miles from Point Barrow in a southWesterly direc- ton.
 The worlds largest multiple lense aerial camera, using three foot square films costing S2OO each. The mapping was done at an altitude of from twelve to eighteen thousand feet and the nine-lens camera did a marvellous job, sur vey officers said. The cameras view is wide-l30 degrees and at l8,OOO feet it photographs an area about nine miles in diameter.
 Commander Woodwork said it is planned to map the Arctic coast line from Point Barrow eastward toward the Canadian border next summer.
 He left here last March for Point Barrow by airplane. Supplies and equipment had been landed at Barrow the year before by ship and members of the party had the task of hauling them over the ice and snow by sleds and caterpillar tractor 70 miles.

Farmer, Disap- pointed In Love, Kills Two

ROCKFORD, III. (P)-A young farmer, disappointed in his aiten- tions to another mans wife, killed her husband and father Friday night and forced her to accom- pany him on his wild flight of 100 miles over northern Illinois high ways.
 At her first opportunity dark haired Kathy Anderson 2G-year- old mother of three children, seiz- ed the pistol with which Glenn Marsh, 28, shot down her husband and father, and jumped from his automobile.
 Dead in the shooting were the woman's husband, Vernon, 23, a neighbor farmor of Marsh, and her father, Grant Muhrlein, 52, of Northport, Mich.
 ROCKFORD, III. (H) - A 27-' year-old farmer, sought by police in a 24-hour four-state manhunt in connection with the double staying and the Kidnapping of his paramour surrendered unexpect- edly yesterday and told story of a frustrated love affair.
 "I didn't mean to kill those men," Glenn Marsh told reporters after he gave himself up at the home of his father here. ''If they'd set down when they saw the gun they mouldn't have been hurt.
 At the time of his arrest, off cers quoted him as saying I'm ready to face the music"
 Max A. Weston, Winnebago county states attorney, said Marsh was booked on charges of murder and Kidnapping.

$3.50 each, admittedly to present the

Speaking principally about taxes on
farm co-ops, but including consumer
groups as well, Patman said: "Never

life have | known an issue to be more
misrepresented and misunderstood"
Big business, fearing the growth and
of co-ops, he said, had put up
the smokescreen cry that co-ops are
tax-evaders. Actually, he added.
co-ops pay the same taxes that part
nerships pay.
