Can You Provide
Clean Grain Storage

ms is the year when If will
pay you to take every precaution
to keep your grain clean. And
even though the harvest season
IS still some time away, there are
a few steps you can take now to
put your storage bins in clean
condition for the new grain.
job number one is TO thorouoh1v
clean the bins by sweeping up
and removing leftovers of old
gram: Then sweep down the walls
and floor. q
Surveys show that most of the
gram contamination in Montana
Is caused by rodents and birds
30 1t would be a good idea to
check your storage facilities
closely to see if they are bird
tight and rodent proof. The
screening of ventilators and other
openings where birds can enter
VIII usually take care of this
problem.
However, keeping mice and
rats out of the granary REQUIRES
a bit more work. First. get rid of
all trash and debris around the
farmstead that might provide
food and shelter for rodents. Then
remove weed growth and grass
from an area ten feet out from
the granary. Rodents move onIv
under the protection of heavy
cover and a completely bare area
around the granary will prevent
movement of mice and other ro-
dents into the building.
Lastly, make the granary rodent
proof by closing all openings
where rodents might enter. Hard
ware cloth, sheet metal or con-
crete may be used for this. de-
pending on the kind of opening.
BE sure that doors and windows
fit tightly.
By having storage bins clean
and well guarded against the en-
try OF birds and rodents you will
have few worries about your grain
becoming contaminated.

News From Around Nebraska

An Ogalala couple and their son, who had lust returned
from military service, were winding up a vacation trip last week
and decided to stop at Seward to watch a football game between
Concordia and Doane. A second son of the couple attends Doane
and plays on the team.
They watched with varying degrees of interest while Con-
cordia piled up a lead of 1877. There was four minutes left to
play and both teams were just seesawing back and forth in the
center of the field. 1t seemed almost certain that Concordia would
win. -
So, being in a hurry to get home to oganala, they left the
game with four minutes to play.
You guessed it. During that four minutes, the son IN the
Doane team grabbed a 49yard pass and scampered over for a
touchdown.
The Keith County News at Oganala which discovered the u-
usual incident, reported that the family didn't have much to say
about the game-in fact they weren't speaking to each other.
The famous dance band of Wayne King appeared at the Aims
worth skating rink last Monday for a community dance. according
to the StarJournal.
At Red Cloud the Future Farmers of America organization
has started a campaign to promote greater safety with farm ma,
chimes which are moved on public roadways. The FFAs are
putting scotch tape reflectors on all combines, tractors and other
implements which are moved on highways. The tape will be used
on wagons and trailers, too. The Red Cloud newspaper, the Com
merical Advertiser, showed a picture of the FFAs placing the tape
on a farm machine.
The Garden County News, printed at Oshkosh, Nebraska, is
calling for 100 persons to sign up for factory employment there.
According to the News, Oshkosh has a chance to get a new factory
which will employ 100. The necessary building and other facilities
are already available, the News stated. Details regarding the TYNE
of factory were not revealed.
The West Point Republican announced last week that Cunning

ADVERTISING RATES MADE KNOWN ON REQUEST
Church Membership Largest In History

More people are going to church and more people are reading the
Bible today than ever before in our history. That's the real American
story behind the headlines, and it tells more about or true spiritual
and physical health than all the lurid tales of juvenile delinquency and
atom destructveness put together.
Vital statistics issued this month by the National Council of the
Churches of Christ in the USA. contradict sharply any stories that
we are overly materialistc, and prove that more and more people are
seeking God as a source of inspiration and guidance. Over 81 100000
Americans now attend church regularly, an increase of 28 percent over
last year. Americans contributed more than So OOO OOO 900 to their
churches in 1855 alone. Sunday and Sabbath school registrations are
at a record 1929 $50.
And this religious growth is not just Sunday habit" We. as a
nation, are turning to Bible reading, extending devotional thought
beyond mere observance of the Sabbath. In the case of the Revised
Standard Version of the Bible alone, which was first issued only
three years ago this month no less than 362082 copies have already
been sold, a figure that is rising steadily toward the four million mark.
This major revision of the Bible, in clear, lucid, presentday
English, has sold at the rate of more than one copy every 30 seconds.
"a hours a day, for sc months! A phenomenal record, set against
rising church membership, it underines that pressing need for faith
In our troubled world.
The RSV Bible was the result of a 15year project by 81 leading
church scholars with a larger consultation committee) to provide a
work that corrected errors and inaccuracies that had become dis
turblngly evident in many English translations. Its ultimate pubica-
ton in the Fall of 1852 was the occasion Of nationwide observances
by ministers of many denominations.
This religious revival is growing in every community in America,
and its acceeratng pace indicates that millions more will be turning
to the Scriptures for hope in these critical times.

Guarding Your Kitchen Against Fires
HOUR PERCENT or ALLDAMAeINe HOME EIREs ORIGINATE in

FOUR PERCENT OF A~LLDAMAcINc HOME FIRES originate in

HOW many OF you know how to tackle this common type of fire? By
rights you should have an approved fire extnguiSher for "Class B"
ulammahe liquid fires within easy reaching distance of the range,
as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association. If you
haven't the Baking Soda Institute suggests you at least take the pre-
caution OF having a good supply of inexpensive baking soda OF hand
Baking soda, which is the major ingredient of several types of fire e-
tnguishers, is excellent for such a fire. Applying the baking soda care
fully on the flames creates carbon dioxide or carbonic acid gas which
shuts off the air and smothers the flames. Never use salt O flour in
place OF soda. They'll only make matters worse and never. never
use water. Water has a lower boiling point than fat, and it will only
make the fire spread and the fat splatter. It's a wise precaution
to keep a clearly labeled canister filled with baking soda O the kitchen
range so that when and if you're faced with fire you can reach the
soda quickly.
Another advantage to using baking soda on fat fires is that if

Paint Down
Rule Should
.BeFoIloWed
BY DOUGLAS TUOMEY

There are probably 10 or IL
important rules about painting.
such as not painting on a damp
or dirty surface, not painting
when the temperature is below
40 degrees or in the broiling sun.
and not applying a second coat
until the first is thoroughly dry.
But it is doubtful II any of them
are more important than the rule
which says always paint down.
It is quite evident to the aver
age person that painting down
makes good sense. In the first
place paint will naturally flow
downward, which means that the
painter has a chance to smooth
out drips as he goes lower.
In the second place there is
always a chance that applying
one color to a house wall above
a different color will result in a
thousand spots on the lower work.
Another excellent reason Is
that real painting Is hard work
and the hardest part Of all is the
work higher up. For this reason
the tough part of the job should
be done while you are fresh and
at your best. Painting a wall
while you are comfortably on
your feet is easy.
The average house job should
start with the cutters. then the
trim Immediately beneath and
then the large wall area. Corner
boards, windows and door trim,
on which you use a smaller

Naturally there are times when
painting cannot be done in the

the case of a gutter needing an

to tack drip-cloths over the area
beneath the new painting. 1t

Republican, Of Maryland, said
last night.
In a statement issued for Sum-
day release, the Senator said
his conclusion is based on con-
versations he has had with high

Administration.
Officials of the CAA could not
be reached Immediately for COM
ment.
"In ruling out Andrews Field, I"
the Senator said, II think CAA

ITO relocate this installation
would cost millions Of additional
dollars. Furthermore, the mill

The Oregon Senator has been
a thorn in the side of the Sen
ate G.. o. P. ever since he broke
with Mr.. Eisenhower and sup
ported Adlai Stevenson in 1852.
1t was his determination to vote
with the Democrats in the or

Democrats to control the Senate
and its committees. Republican
National Chairman Leonard w.

the view of many Republicans

myself extending sympathy to

will have to watch him."
Senator Morse's change of
party affiliation is not unprece-
dented. One case was that Of
the late Senator Henry M. Teller
of Colorado. Teller was elected
to the Senate as a Republican
when Colorado was admitted to
the Union. He served several

broke away from the Republican
Party on the silver issue and
