cows out to Craze on the. sprouting
spring alfalfa. They were there per-
haps a week and, I thought, were
immune from bloat, but a little cold
rain came and they over-ate. When
I walked into the pasture practically
every one showed signs of bloat.
I always did hate to "stick" an
animal especially the milk cows. 1t
set them back so much, and that hole
vas not too rapid in healing.
Pumping" Effective
In this prejudice against sticking
l tried pumping them out by using
the garden hose, a 10 or 12-foot
length of one-inch hose with the
brass connections cut off. I rammed
the hose down into the paunch for
nearly its whole length, pulled it
out part way quickly and rammed
it back and, brother, you should have
seen the stream of "sour mush,"
squirt out every time I rammed the
hose back. I pumped perhaps five
gallons of the foamy mass out of
each animal and they were relieved
of the gas pressure.
Ever afterward when I saw b1oat
either starting or well developed, I
ran for my length of hose and
started pumping. I always felt this
method was far superior to sticking.
At any rate, I never lost an animal
after that first trial at pumping"
but I have never see it tried by
others and am suggesting you try it.
Perhaps I had something there
worthy of imitation-and that was
more than so years ago.

Violin Heifer, Bull Top
Shorthorn Sale

JACOB LEE of Big Fork paid the
top price at the annual sale of the
Northwest Montana Shorthorn
Breeders association at Kalispel
March II. He paid $3.50 for a heifer
consigned by Brad Violin of Column
bia Falls. Average price realized for
COWS and heifers was 1927.
A Violin consignment also brought
the highest bull price, $420. The
average price for bulls was $243.50.
And remember that clover also
bloats an animal when cold, wet and
eaten ravenously.

Rubber Hose Used to Relieve
Bloated Cattle
By JOHN E. FIELD

BLOAT IN CATTLE from eating
alfalfa or clover is a m danger
and almost unavoidable at times.
1t comes from the animals eat
ing too much and too rapidly; in
short, too ravenously.
1t helps some but not greatly to
put a stick, like a smooth straight
bit, in the mouth, attaching it to the
headstall or halter.
The cattle are turned out to pas
ture in the morning when they are
hungry and especially in the spring
when they relish green, succulent,
new growth of the plants.
When the animals are hungry is
the time to watch them for bloat.
However, more to be watched are
the plant and the weather. A heavy,
cold frost on the plant or a wet
snow should be considered seriously.
Chills Paunch
This cold, wet feed passing into
the paunch chills it, drives the blood
and juices of proper digestion away.
AS the stomach warns up the over
burdened paunch, fermentation sets
in, and the gas pressure rises rapidly.
1t seems to close up the outlets, and
the animal can neither raise the cud

smile at this theory of a layman).
In fact the contents of the paunch
are a foamy mass Tor mess) where
the fine little bubbles of gas do not
gather together but rather cause the
organic matter to "swell" and puff
up, which, of course, contributes to
the closing of all outlets.
My home milk COW in the city
had a nice comfortable shed and {
manger outside. One night a light
but cold and wet snow fell on the
alfalfa in the manager. The storm
kept the cow under cover unit
early morning. She was hungry ane
empty, and as dawn came, she pro
ceeded to wind that cold wet alfalf;
down into her paunch, or so I recon
structed the tragedy.
So when I went out to milk he
there she lay, terribly distended ant
dead. I tried to pump her out in tn
hope that I could start respiration
but it failed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Repre.
sentative Mcdowell, Republican
of Pennsylvania, a member o1
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities, was due
here today to hunt more evi-
dence in the Alger Hiss case, as
a new Federal grand jury, in a
separate investigation went to
work to "cover the entire field
of espionage"
Mr.. Mcdowell, as q one-man sub
committee, and the grand jury have
scheduled sessions In the Federal
Building.
House Investigators said new wit
nesses were on tap for quizzing
about the activities a decade ago of
Mr.. Hiss, former high State De-
partment Official now under indict-
ment on two perjury counts.
Nixon Statement Disputed.
At the same time, the grand jury
called in its first witnesses in what

Meat Packer Official
Urges Congress fo
Let Profits Alone
by the Assoeiatsd Press

81 John Schmidt, vice president Of
Armour & Co., asked Congress to-
day to let business profits alone.
- Mr.. Schmidt made the plea to the
eenate-HouSe Economic Subcom-
mittee which is looking into busi-
ness earnings as prelude to con-
gressional action on taxes. Revival
of the wartime excess profits tax has
been proposed.
q Mr.. Schmidt said there might be
isolated cases Of excessive profits.
But he contended that the "free
play Of economic forces eventually
will bring proper and equitable"
adjustment.
Admittedly" he said, there will
be some individuals who might OBJ
tain more than their just share Of
the efforts Of society as a whole In
relation to their contributions to So
eiety; but we cannot endanger the
welfare Of the many in order to
Justly deal with a small minority"
Tells Of Drop In Profits.
Mr.. Schmidt testified that Ar
mour's profit on invested capital
dropped from 9.79 per cent in 1S47
to less than l per cent CID in 1948.
Mr.. Schmidt told the committee
that Armour & Co. sustained a loss
In l048 from its total operations
Of s1,s70,000. He attributed this to
q strike which hit most of its
major plants, and an abrupt drop
In the market in February.
Howard C. Greer. spokesman for
Kingan & Co., testified that profits
in the meat-packing industry have
not been adequate TO attract from
the general public the new capital
needed to provide more meat-pack-
ing facilities demanded by a grow
ing population.
Stress Livestock Costs.
Both witnesses testified that be-
tween rs and 80 cents out of each
meat-packer dollar normally goes
for the livestock and other raw
materials. Mr.. Greer added that of
the remainder moret han half is
required for wages and social Sc
curity costs.
This putst he psobNem right
straight up to the public and its
representatives in Washington" Mr..
Greer testified. ANY policy decis-
Ions which reduce profit opportu-
mites or tax away larger portions
Of business income will inevitably
restrict plant rehabilitation and ex-
pansion and curtail the effective
ness Of industry as the source of
Jobs and the satisfier of material
wants"

Asked what he thought of Mr..
Hiss, Mr.. Wadleigh said II was very

Government.
The final two patches Of docu-
ments stolen from the State
Department in 1887 and 1898 will
be released for publication tomorrow
and Sunday. They all are copies
of confidential papers Mr.. Cham
bers said Mr.. Hiss gave him.
The committee yesterday gave out
the titles and general contents of
eight Navy Department documents
it said came through the Bureau Of
Standards.
These were reproductions from
deteriorated sections of the micro
films. They were so difficult to read
that the Navy Department supplied
the committee with originals for
comparison. Mr.. Mundt said that
for this reason the full contents
would not be made public, but that
in any event there was nothing
top secret in them"
The documents, as described by
Mr.. Mundt, related to Navy Depart
ment technical notes relating to
aircraft radio devices, parachutes
and valve ana fabrication apparatus
for planes.
Other Papers Released.
Other documents given out by the
committee yesterday included:
| A message sent from the then
Col. Joseph w. Stilwel to the State
| Department for transmission to the
War Department, relating to Chi
jnese losses and Japanese troop
movements in January, 1898.
The report stated that ''only the
Reds have q definite plan, the es-
sence Of which Is guerrilla warfare"
1t is added that the Communists In
China probably could not arouse
the spirit of self-sacrifice in people
who have been as badly treated by
their own troops as by the enemy.
A message from Richard r. Boyce,
American Consul at Yokohama, in
cluding q long discussion of the
economic organization in Manchu-
kuo. This, coupled with another
message from Ambassador Joseph
c. Grew in Tokyo, warned American
businessmen that a possible war be-
tween Russia and Japan was one
reason for being cautious about in
vesting money in the Japanese pup
pet state.
A message from Ambassador Will
liam Phillips in Rome stating that
the British wanted assurances that
all Italian volunteers and war ma
terial would be withdrawn from
Spanish territory, and that the Ital-
ian government had reserved the
right to give or sell certain war
materials to the Franco government.

FAIRBANKS RESTS PHS. LOSES TO SHAMROCKS

The youngsters did very we'll, losing to Fairbanks on Monday by count of 35 to 16, and on Tuesday by 32 to IF. Mondays game looks even better in con- parison by halves, for the first string let the visiting Malemutes run up 21-4 score before retir- ing in favor of the subs.
 The second-stringers thereup- onheld the big Fairbanks team to a 4-point advantage, when halftime scores are considered. They did truly remarkable job in holding Wally Burnett, Fair banks forward with a lot of basketball know-how, to just 4 points that evening.
 Albin got 10 that night and Dallasto was best for Palmer with three field goals.
 Starting strong in the Tuesday game, the kids fought a game though losing battle all the way. They were within three points of the Malemutes at the quarter, but dropped back to the low end of a 20 to 10 score at half-time.
 The lack of game experience showed in the floor play of the eager young ballhandlers many times, but the steady, depend able guard game displayed by Myles Hyland and Walter Ben dixen held the Fairbanks az gressors back from a lop-sided winning score. Myles Hyland displayed a good eye from far out on the floor that night, drop ping through three beauties for a 6-point total score. Burnett and Coble were tied for the Malemutes with 10 points each.
 Palmer's over-zealous attack resulted in heartbreak at the bas- ket, for several times, the ball tWirled inside the net and then sWished out again without drop ping through.
 On Wednesday the Malemutes tried for their third win in the row, and almost made the Sham rocks feel they could make it stick. The visitors led 1O-5 at the quarter and 149 at the half, only to fade to two lonely foul shots in the second half, with the final score showing 28-16 in favor of the Shamrocks.
 Three Shamrock players, Ben and Jimmie Hermon and Bert Stewart were out of the lineup for the Fairbanks game. The Hermon brothers were out on their trapline and didn't get in, and Bert Stewart was nursing a twisted ankle received in Satur- days game.

KENT HOSPITAL
DRIVE ENDS
People May Still Contribute
To Kent General Hos
pital Fund
PRICKETT PAYS TRIBUTE

At the report dinner meeting
held at Dover on Monday night
Smyrna's total in the Kent Gener-
al Hospital campaign was $4,124.-
so but this is not the final picture
for Smyrna, as reports were still
coming in as the figures were be-
ing compiled one-half hour before
the dinner. DR.. Prickett, in a
statement on Tuesday, paid tribute
to the solicitors for their hard
work and was grateful for the
money attained so far. He said
that "due to conditions beyond the
control of both residents and So
licitors everyone had not yet had
the opportunity to contribute" An
effort will be made to have all the
people who were missed given the
chance to make their contribution.
Any interested person not solicited
may leave their money with either
DR.. Prickett or Mrs. Webb, or may
send check direct to the treasur-
er Kent General Hospital building
fund, but also notifying the local
chairman so that Smyrna may be
given credit. At the Dover meet
ing, with less than half the goal
reached to date, it was evident
that various benefits and projects
will be carried out, that the fund
will be open at all times to gifts,
and that voluntary contributions
will be accepted. The building Of
a new hospital is an enormous I'M
dertaking and the continued inter-
est and support of all the citizens
of the county is needed. Willard
Boyce, chairman of the drive,
made a stirring plea that 1--WE re-
solve that one of these days we
win have the 100000 for the hos
pital." To that end the Smyrna
committee will remain intact and
will gratefully accept funds at any
