Rainfall Measures
ATT Inches Here
Rise In Streams Causes In
cOnveniences to Fishermen

Garrett county was soaked with
ATT inches of rainfall during the past
week, which caused streams to rise
over their banks but caused no par
ticular Inconvenience except to fisher
men who were preparing to observe
the opening of the trout season to-
day in the traditional manner.
The large amount of rainfall, how
ever, raised Deep Greek Lake several
inches, and also caused the new dam
around Selbysport to rise over the
floorboards of the old bridge that
crossed the Youghiogheny river and
which was scheduled to be torn down
The high waters from this county
combined with other rivers to give
concern to Cumberland and Pitts
burgh, in their travel to the Atlantic
ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
In Oakland the rainfall totalled
4.4S inches since Sunday with Tues
day having the largest amount with
total of 2.10 inches. The low temper
ature of the week was % on the 10th,
while the high was 72 degrees, on the
Sth. The thermometer rose to 68 on
Monday.
Several hundred fishermen had pre-
pared to try their luck today but all
streams remained too high and mud
dy, and it was expected that they
would wait at least until the first of
next week.
There were evidences this morning
that the storm had passed.

Food Thief Turks
In Bean Family

LINCOLN, NEB.-A new kind Of
flood thief" has been found lurking
in soybeans, lima beans, black eye
peas, garden beans and peanuts.
This thief is a natural part of the
raw bean. 1t can prevent the living
body from properly using p%roteins,
the foodstuffs essential for health.
1t does this by interfering with
a chemical, the engine trypsin,
which splits up proteins so that the
body al use them.
Fortunately, this food thief is
killed by cooking or heating. But
its discovery, in so many different
common foods, poses a new prob
lem for nutritionists.
1t points to possible drawbacks if
humans eat these things Jaw or
if they are fed in uncooked form
to animals.
Some time ago scientists noticed
that soybeans were better as food
if they were cooked or toasted a
bit. Animals eating the cooked
beans grew better than those eating
uncooked soybean meal. Some sub
stance in the uncooked bean was re-
sponsible.
At the University of Nebraska ag-
ricultural experiment station, R. M.
Sandstedt and Weldell E. Ham
showed that this something was a
chemical that prevented trypsin
from breaking up proteins effici-
emily.
The chemical thief could be TX
tracted from the ~soybeans, they
showed. When it was added to ami /
NAL foods, it slowed down the
growth of rats, chickens and tur-
keys.

Son Tries to Evicf Mother
With Noise Making Bull

OTTAWA, ILL. - The appellate
court says farmer Henry Factly, jr.,
must not try to evict his aged
mother, Rosa, from his home by
Using a noise making bull, an cleo
trio fence and other devices de-
signed to annoy her.
The decision said that Factly:
Tied a bull to a tree ear the
house and provided the bull a play
thing which caused his mother many
sleepless nights. He tied a milk
can to the tree, leaving it suspended
in the air, and placed in it some
rocks so that when the bull butted
the can, terrific noises would re-
suit"
Placed an electric fence across
the driveway, $50 that his unsus-
pecting mother might receive a sud-
den shock"
Caused the water supply to be
shut off.
Chased the chickens from the
chicken house and placed iron pipes
in the weeds near by, $50 that his
mother would stumble and fall yer
them"
According to testimony, Henry
Factly, ST., and his wife, Rosa,
decided the 94-acre farm to their
son in 1886, and he signed an agree
ment that they could live in the
farmhouse all their lives. The father
died in l941. Henry, jr., farms the
property but his mother and her
son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Raymond Fillmore, reside in
the house.

U. S. will Try to Stimulate
Crops With Atom By-ProdUcfs

WASHINGTON.-The government
has set out to find out whether the
radioactive by-products of atomic
bomb productions will really stimu-
late farm crops.
The research will be conducted
by the Agriculture department under
a grant from the atomic energy COM
mission.
Radio-isotopes from the Oak
Ridge, Tenn, atomic energy plant
will be used in varying intensities in
fertilizers applied to growing plants.
AS of now, atomic scientists doubt
that nuclear radiation is capable Of
stimulating plant growth to anything
like the extent suggested in uncon-
firmed reports which have appeared
In print from time to time.

Frank Murray has announced
his candidacy for the Office of
Secretary of State on the DEM
cratic ticket. Frank is a native
of Montana, who knows from
personal experience what a wend-
derful work the Loyal Order of
Moose is doing. He was orphan

work his way up the hard way.
That he has the right kind of
stuff is attested by his work and
his record. He was a school
trustee and deputy Clerk and Re-
corder in Butte. He is a success
full business man. His incumbency
as Clerk OF the Supreme Court
has been one of efficiency and
courtesy to the public.
While the Fraternalist does not
take part in party politics, and
the Order is completely non-poli-
teal. when a deserving Brother
needs a boost, we are more than
glad to be among the first to Of

Trout Fishing

Best bait for trout, when the water
is cold, high or muddy, and they won't
take flies, are worms and minnows.
Worms should be allowed to drift ma
turally with the current, humping
along the bottom and tumbling into
the spots where such food settles Ia
turally. Minnows either may be drift
ed with the current or pulled against
it. They should be fished deep. Big
trout have a weakness for them.

KIDS K0RNER

Here's some more ideas for
mixing Chris tmas gifts.
something very simple and
very attractive and very useful is
The paper weight. This for DAD.
Look around the Lake front unUi,.
you find fairly large, smooth
and Well-shaped stone. Draw, a
design on this stone and paint
it. Then shellac the stone and
you have a mighty good looking
paper weight.
Bright window props can do a
lot to check the drab feeling of
cold weather. Pieces of wood Of
varying lengths lend themselves
nicely in the making of window
props. First the pieces of wood
should be cut to desired length
and sandpapered well. Draw a
design on the wood and paint it.
The design must be planned to
fit whatever shaped piece of
wood you have Simple, free boz
der designs work out nicely.
A gift any mother wish cherish
is a spool holder. Find small,
oblong or square piece of wood
about six inches long or so-just
Dig enough to hold three or four
spools Of thread. Sandpaper tn
wood and place a design on it
with crayon or paints. A coat of
shellac will bring out the color.
1t is a good idea to make the de-
sign have as many sections as
you are planning to have spools
Of thread. For example, if you
have an oblong piece of wood to
hold three spOols of thread, you
might have a three piece flower
design, held together by bor-
DIR leaf design. If you have a
square, four-spool holder, a four
cornered design brought toget-
her with a center flower would
be pretty. A cork in the middle
will hold needles. Now. nails
should be pounded up through the
design or the spOos.
So, now, why not get the
neighborhood gang together some
evening and start designing and
pounding out Christmas giIts.
Use your own ideas too.
