IN
ONE
EAR
By Maurice Duke

If were to join a circle Of any
kind it would be a circle that re-
quired its members to try some
thing new at least once a month.
The new thing could be very
inconsequential: steak for break
fast, frog hunting, walking on
stills, memorizing a stanza Of
poetry. 1t could be staying up out
doors all night, making up a dance
and dancing it, speaking to a
stranger, Ginning yourself, milk
ing a goat, reading the Bible
anything not ordinarily done.

Certain young ladies in the MIL
Town better revamp their social
etiquette If they want to be ac-
copied into the fold Of the Twin
Cities social life. If these certain
people do not know what I'm talk
ing about, I will try to bring them
out of their black ooze Of ignor-
ance, and enlighten them on a few
facts they seem to have over look
ed in trying to grow up.
Its pure logic that when some
one pays you a visit, no matter
what your feelings are concerning
the impromptu visit payed to you,
you should always make them feel
at home. Contrary to popular opin-
ion, (Which I might add Is your
OWN you four girls, land that's
what you act Hke) are a disgrace
to womanhood, and you are just
about as popular as the Black
Plague Of the 14th Century!

seems to me that the phase dead
silence" is a mistaken figure of
speech, because silence is alive.
Things leap to your mind out of
silence. It's as if all your senses

ringing in your ears which could
be your memory tuning up, hum
ming like a tight wire.

NEW TESTS FOR 1862
HARD WHEAT SUPPORT

Glacier County farmers were
reminded today that quality pre-
miums for hard wheat placed
under the 1862 price-support pro-
gram will be based on sedimen'
tation tests this year instead OF
ON the protein tests used in pre-
vious years.
The sedimentation test is a
part of the Department of Agri'
cultures effort to increase mar
kets for us. wheat and to in
crease returns to producers on
the basis of quality. While pro-
tein tests show the protein con.
tent in a specific lot of wheat,
the sedimentation tests better
reveals the quality of wheat glu'
ten, and this factor is more re-
liable in identifying wheat for
production of better flour for
commercial bread baking.
Producers who take out loans
on warehouse-stored wheat will
be offered price-support loans on
the basis of sedimentation values
recorded on storage documents
by the warehouseman.
The premiums will be added
to the basic county or terminal
loan rate to determine the speci-
fic 1862 support loan rate. Hard
wheat with no test or testing be-
low 40 will be supported at the
base rate, with discounts or pre-
miums for other factors.

~ inc AseOCtA bco FIceS
Major manufacturers of mac
aroni were accused yesterday
of cheapening their products
and rigging the price of their
principal raw material-durum
wheat-in an illegal scheme to
bolster profits.
The Federal Trade Commits
sion leveled these charges
against the National Maca-
ROM Manufacturers Association,
Palatine, Ill. and its member
ship of more than 14O firms.
The challenged practices were
said to have been adopted by
the industry at a conference in
Minneapolis last August.
According to the commission.
the industry deprived consum-
ers "of the high-quality maca-
roni products to which they are
entitled under q free competi-
tive system" It also contended
that growers Of durum wheat
were deprived of a normal
market for their crop on the
Minneapolis Grain Exchange.
Use Durum Wheat
Quality macaroni and spa
ghetti are made from Semolina
flour produced from durum, a
price-Supported crop. The FTC
said the price Of durum reflects
the interaction of supply and
demand on the Minneapolis
exchange, where demand comes
almost entirely from macaroni
producers.
According to the complaint,
the practices grew out of a du-
rum conference which the trade
