Indiun Traveller Won't TuIk

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. o.
Princess Matsui is home-grim-
faced as ever and uncommunica-
tive about her trip around the
world.
The princess is a statue Of a
Seminole Indian. But she has
proof, painted on her base, that
she travelled around the world.
BY coincidence. she disap-
peared from the Seminole Hotel
lobby Just before the carrier
u. s. s. Saipan left nearby May
port last fall and reappeared
when the Saipan locked yester-
day.
Princess Matsui's ports Of call
happen to be the same as those
of the Saipan. The princess has
another memento-a certificate
that she crossed the equator.

Democrats Begin to Worry
No Longer Confident of Victory in House and Senate
AS Gains Are Made in Recession and Farm Price Fight

It is being suggested there
fore that his tours should be
underwritten by q group OF
his friends who intend to sup
port him for denomination
in 1856. His greatest problem,
Of course, Is that he has no
public position to give him
background and no national
forum.
When Democrats at the re-
cent governors conference
talked presidential politics they
mentioned only two names:
Mr.. Stevenson and Senator
Symington of Missouri, who
was described as popular In
the South. Two frankly am
bilious Observation-Disclosures Of
Michigan and Lausche Of
Ohio, are both in hard CAM
paigns. Their prospects will de-
pend upon the size and de
mansions Of their victories, Il
any.
True to the form Of the
party In power. most Repuh-
licans professed to believe
that President Eisenhower
would again run and again
win. But it is clear that, the
Taft Republicans have q more
definite philosophy and more
drive and win expect q larger
voice in the proceedings even
if events dictate another Els
Senhower term.
That they would prefer their
own candidate there can be
no doubt. Nor do they seem
to be cottoning to Vice Presi-
dent Nixon. He Is both too
close to Gov. Dewey and too
inconsistent In his attitudes
to please them.

Our leaders are working now

Doris Fleeson

Democrats who a few months
ago were supremely confident
that they would romp home in
the House and win narrow
control of the Senate are to-
day full of misgivings. They
were banking on the economic
recession and slipping farm
prices. Now the administra-
tons attitude Of confidence
in both areas has infected
them.
Eisenhower spokesman are
not merely talking confidence.
They are betting on it by
refusing to take the job
creating steps urged on them
by sticking to the Benson
farm policy. They could still
be mistaken. but their deter
mination has made an impress
sion on the opposition.
Democrats do not even ex-
pect to profit particularly from
the unfortunate trend in for
eign policy. They don't expect
1t to do the President any
good either: what they fear is
that right-wing isolationist
Republicans will be the prin-
cipal beneflciaries. Added
strength for that faction would
only put both Gen. Eisenhower
and the Democrats on the de-
fensive in the next session.
The minority parts's most
articulate spokesman remains
its titular head, Adlai Steven
son, and the greatest possible
activity is being urged on him
His reply is that he also has
to think about doing some
work for Stevenson, too, in
his law practice which he has
long neglected.

when used as verb. is always
accented on the second syllable.
as DISCHARGE. But is the
noun ever correctly accented on
the first DISS-charge? Soldiers
always say that they received a
DISS-charge from the service
Seven B.
Answer: DISCHARGE is the
first choice of most dictionaries
for both noun and verb; however,
it is true that DISS-charge for
the noun is being heard more
and more often and certainly
this accent shift is analogous
with other words which are both
noun and verb.

THE COMMUNITY Christmas
IL tree idea was born in Cleveland,
Ohio, in 1912. The community
raised funds to defray the cost of

cheer
Holders of preferred stock were
entitled to dividends payable

YuIe Tree Business

CHRISTMAS TREES are a multi

THRISTMAS TREES are multi
~ million doll a r business.
Throughout the nation. some Is
million trees are supplied to the
holiday demand. Prices range
from 81 to S5, and that adds up to
real money.
A Christmas tree, in the lake
states, is usually balsam or
spruce. The same is true in New
England and the Appalachian Sec
ton. Elsewhere in the country, vir-
tually all kinds of evergreens are
used.
The lodgepole pine and Douglas
fir are frequently used in Colorado.
On the Pacific coast, it is prin-
cipally Douglas fir.
In Maryland, Virginia and Wash
ington, D. c.. scrub pine takes a
trimming.
In other localities, white pine,
southern pine, hemlock, red and
white cedar and redwood are used.
The business of harvesting this
annual crop begins in the fall,
when cutters go into the woods
after trees. 1t continues as truck
ers bring huge loads to metropoli-
tan markets.
Many land owners manage their
swamps to make them yield crop
of trees year after year Thinning
operations are another source of
Yule trees.
Farmers have discovered that
they can get a cash crop from
eroded acres by harvesting Christ
mas trees 10 or Is years after they
are planted.

Sheepmen Warned On
Vitamin A Deficiency

Sheep producers in most sec
lions OF Virginia should be on
guard against vitamin A defici-
ency in ewes due to lamb. says
George A. Allen. il, sheep spec
ialist at VPI.
Sheep normally store up good
supply of the vitamin from green
pasture during the grazing sea
son, but dry weather during the
summer and fall has caused
pastures to be very low in vitamin
A.
Symptoms Of the deficiency are
blindness. a watery discharge
from the eyes. or lambs that die
shortly after birth. Green pasture,
green. leafy legume hay and yell
low corn are the best sources of
vitamin Aft high quality legume
hay cannot be fed for about a
month ahead of Landing, it would
probably be wise to feed vita
min A supplement.
Ewes that lose weight during
late pregnancy are subject to
lambing paralysis. The ewes
should receive Il to Y pound Of
