CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM
GENERAL KEPNER

When the first Christmas
dawned the world held out new
hope for peace on earth. This
Christmas, almost two thousand
years later, men of good will
everywhere are hoping, working
and dying for that same ideal.
To most of the children of the
world, this part of the globe is
closely identified with the Christ
mas season. A jolly old man
named Santa Claus, Kris Krin-
gle, or Father Christmas, lives
at the North Pole. The realms of
snow are his home, the reindeer
are his means af bringing JOY to
everyone.
Surely the spirit that brought
his happy Yuletide fable into
being is precious to adults and
children alike. 1t is the same
spirit that we, as Americans, feel
from the bottom of our hearts
the spirit of love and friend
ship, Of liberty and tolerance, of
good will'' that is not merely a
word in our language.
On behalf of myself and the
members of my Command, |
wish to extend to all the people
of Alaska my heartiest wishes
for a very Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year.
1t. Gen w. E. Kepner,
Commander-in-Chief,
Alaskan Command.

of these refineries, namely, Hous-

Hook, Pa, are inter-connected by
pipeline and water transportation
giving Sinclair unique position
in the distribution of its products
in the country's most populous
territory.
Spencer added that the St.
Louis area refinery purchase is
part of a long term program of
orderly expansion and balancing
of facilities for the supply of Sim
clair's rapidly growing business.
The program is concentrated in
the territory where Sinclair is in
the most economic position to
supply the demand from its own
facilities.
No important changes in oper-
ating personnel are now contem-
plated.

Sinclair Go. Acquires
Wood River Refinery

P. c. Spencer, president of the
Sinclair refining company, thru
T. M. Ehlermann, local agent for
the company, announced today
that the company had acquired
the refinery of the Wood River
Oil and Refining Co., at Hartford,
Ill, and its products pipe line
which now extends from a mar
keting terminal at Peru, H., on
the Illinois river to Rockford,
ILL.,, also a marketing terminal,
a distance of 81 miles.
The Wood river refinery is To-
Gated on a site comprising 431
acres, $50 acres of which is Mis-
sissippi river frontage at Hart
ford, about Is miles north of st.
Louis on the east bank of the
Mississippi river.
The refinery is a modern plant
of $4,000 barrels daily balanced
throughput capacity. No part of
the plant is more than ten years
old and it has recently been
brought abreast of the latest de-
velopments in refinery methods
and processes thru new facilities
completed with the last year, in
Guiding a catalytic cracker. The
refinery equipment is of special
ly made corrosion-resisting al
loyed metal to enable the safe
processing of all grades and types
of crude oil. The modern equip
ment and processes enable the
refinery to produce high per-
centage yield of gasoline of the
finest quality and the plant is
sufficiently flexible to provide a
wide range of distillates, Diesel
fuel, asphalt, road oil and fuel
oil.
Sinclair has been established in
the st. Louis distribution area
for many years and has a large
investment in marketing facili-
ties which can be economically
served from the newly-acquired
refinery which is now connected
with Sinclair's crude and pro-
ducts pipeline transportation sys-
tenn.
For some time past the Wood
river refinery has, in addition to
its own production, processed
quantities of crude oil into pro-
ducts for the Sinclair company.
Sinclair was motivated to ac-
quire a refinery in the st. Louis
area because of the strategic To-
cation of st. Louis in relation to
its own distribution and because
of the economic transportation

Lists Four Tips For
Good Grass SiIage

If you want to make good
grass silage this year, here are
four tips from Earl Jones, ex-
tension agronomist at Ohio State
University.
l. Start with a good crop, for
it is impossible to make good
grass silage from a poor crop.
2. Cut at the right stage. This
means making most silage when
the meadow crop is just coming
into bloom. Cut alfalfa at the
first bloom; red clover when the
first bloom is turning, and tim
othy when SO percent of the
heads are showing.
3. Get crop into the silo at the
proper moisture content. To
judge moisture content, squeeze
a handful of chopped grass in
your hand. If juice runs out, it
is too wet. If it falls apart, it is
too dry.
4. Use preservatives. These
preservatives, such as ear corn
or molasses, are conditioners,
making better tasting and smell
ing silage. If hay is on the wet
side, ear corn is best; if dry, mo-
lasses is preferred. Use so
pounds of molasses or 100 to
120 pounds or earn corn per ton.

Market Terms Help
Farmers Weigh Prices

Farmers who first hear of
changes in livestock marketing
conditions have a distinct ad-
vantage, says c. w. Hammans,
extension marketing specialist
at Ohio State University.
Livestock market news is an
important tool that the farmer
can use to his advantage, he
adds. This tool can be kept in
good working conditions by lis
tening to radio reports and by
reading market quotations found
in newspapers.
Farmers will find that an un-
derstanding of terms most COM
monty used to describe livestock
price trends and price quota
tions will aid them in apprais-
ing or judging both current and
future market situations:
Market higher" means that
bulk of sales are measrably
higher.
Market strong" means an up
ward trend in which some sales
have been at higher prices, but
no advance on bulk of sales.
Market steady" means that
there are no changes in prices
paid from previous day or per-
Iiod.
Market weak" means a down.
ward trend in which some sales
have been made at lower prices,
but no decline on bulk of sales.
Market lower" means that
prices for bulk of sales are
measurably lower as compared
with previous day or period.
Market uneven" means that
there are substantially more than
the normal volume of sales out
side the quoted price trend.
Demand slow" means thai
buyers are not active, but "jusi
Hooking.
Demand good" means thai
buyers are actively buying al
present prices.
