tion of the firm to which the con-
tract would be awarded would

WeeviI Reported
In Stored Grain

Now is the time to treat yopr
farm-stored wheat and oats for
weevil, according to John Moore,
County Agricultural Extension A
gent.
There has been several reports
of weevil in wheat and oats
brought to the elevators. IF you
have weevil it may not be obvious
to the naked eye but there are
simple tests to check for weevil.
A common method is to borrow
your wife's colander and put one
quart or more of grain in it, shake
vigorously. This shaking will dis
lodge the weevils and let them fall
through.
If you have weevil the grain
should. be treated Immediately.
You can obtain materials for
treating grain at your local eleva-
tor or drug store.

THE
PRESIDENTS BIRTHDAY

ohio Senator George n. Ben
der has sent us thought in
connection with President Ell
senhower's birthday:
Our Presidents 65th birth
day on October IA, 1855, comes
with special meaning this year.
We are concerned with his
health and the entire world is
praying for his complete re-
covery. 1t is only human for
all of us to indulge in the
fancy that nothing can ever
happen to our President. We
know that this is wishful think
ing. He is mortal like the rest
of us.
When Woodrow Wilson be-
came ill during his second term
of office, the Government of
the United States was in grave
confusion. So much of the poll
cy-making functions of our ma
ton had been taken over ex-
clusively by the President him
self that no one seemed to be
aware of all the implications
of his foreign relations.
That this has not occurred
today is a recognition of Presi-
dent Eisenhower foresight. He
has always treated the business
of our national government as
an enterprise conducted jointly
and not severally by those tc
whom it has been delegated
under the Constitution.
We salute the President on
his 65th birthday, and we con-
graduate him for having re-
membered what most of us
forget, that man proposes but
God disposes.
