IF YOU'RE A BUM sleeper, you're
in the majority. It's estimated now
that better than half, 50 per cent.
of adult Americans suffer from in
Somnia in more or less degree. And
it's figured that one of the common
est causes Of insomnia iS-fear of
insomnia Screwball note in
swaps prevails near the location of
the Harvard astronomical observa-
tory out in Colorado. There, the OBJ
Servatory staff trades brand-new
diapers to mothers living near, for
old ones that have seen a lot Of use
and undergone repeated launder-
ingS. The diaper cloth, when laun-
dered enough to become soft and
lint-free, is ideal for cleaning tele-
scope lenses.
DID YOU KNOW THAT your Min
neapOlis Grain Exchange is helping
to send young man to college?
This year Robert A. Hansen gets the
Grain Exchange Fellowship and is
using it to go after his Phi. ID. in
education. The fellowship is being
made available through the AgricuI-
tural Education department of the
University Of Minnesota. Robert also
spends part Of his time in helping
to develop teaching aids on market
ing which the Exchange makes avail

NIGHT HOURS CAN give you some
thing worse than bags under your
eyes. More than three out of five
pedestrian traffic fatalities occur at
night. But just the opposite is true
of injuries. Most of them occur dur
ing the daytime. So, if you're going
to get hit, try to arrange the smack
for the daytime-you're more apt to
live Late-returning husbands
have a boon coming their way in a
new squeak-proof door. Nylon bear
ings are used in the door hinge thus
eliminating the telltale sound and the
bearings create no vibration, are not
affected by cOrrosion or rust
SOME MIGHTY INTERESTING and
Informative movies are available to
school classes and club groups
through the Minneapolis Grain Ex-
change. These films have been pre-
pared in cooperation with the North
Dakota Agricultural College and the
University Of Minnesota. Groups
have found them helpful in telling
what happens from the time grain
leaves the farm until it is sold as
consumer products. If you want the
use of any one or all of them, just
write to the Education Department,
Minneapolis Grain Exchange, Min
neapoliS, Minnesota. The names of
the films are: Processing Adds
Value to Farm Products What a
Country Elevator Means to a Com
munity' and What Makes Quality
Wheat"
Make list Of what you want the
next time you open the refrigerator,
so you won't have to stand and
wonder. It's been figured that it
raises the temperature of the inside
OF your icebOX one to three degrees
every time yen open the door. And
it takes several minutes for it to work
off that warmth.
HOST TO THOUSANDS. That was
the story of your Minneapolis Grain
Exchange last year. During 1856 a
total of 300 groups representing an
overall total Of more than 5000 per-
sons visited the Exchange. These
groups included adult farmers, young
farmers, FLA and All Club mem
bers, high school and college and
clvlc organizations. Every group gets
the "Class-A' tour including slide
talks in the Exchange, auditorium
and a formal guided tour throughout
the Exchange. These visits have al
ways been a hit with the various
groups, SO if you can get to the Twin
CltleS, be sure to come to the Ex-
change.
