NO SOVIET-NAZI PEACE Those who arc on the inside re garding the report which Ambas sador William C. Bullitt gave Presi dent Roosevelt regarding the Near East say there is only one slight ray of sunshine in it. Bullitt told his chief that there was absolutely no chance of Russia making peace with Germany* J Coming from Builitt. who served as ambassador to Russia and who spent consider t*me there in the early days of the revolution in 1917. this means a lot. Bullitt has been vigorously critical of the Soviet re gime in recent years and probably would lean over backwards against any overly optimistic appraisal. However, after his special tour of the Near and Middle East on spe cial assignment from the President, he reported that the Russians were so irate against the Nazis that there would be no surrender or compro mise. Bullitt is not so optimistic about the Russian army, which he thinks may fail badly when the Germans are able to get their airplanes in the air again, which they cannot do in sub-zero weather and with snow on the air fields. Politically, however. Bullitt is convinced that Russia will stand with the United Nations to the last ditch. Against this. Bullitt goes further than anyone else around the Presi dent regarding Allied losses. Not only does he believe that Japan will take India, but he feeis that Austra lia will be lost to the British Empire. If he is right, this will be the worst blow which the United Nations can suffer, especially inasmuch as American troops are now stationed in Australia and New Zealand. Not oil war observers agree with Bullitt on this latter point. They point out that Australia is chiefly a desert country, and it would take weeks and months for a conquering army to envelop these vast areas. ? ? ? PATRIOTIC INDIANS As in the last war, thousands of American Indians again are demon strating their patriotism. The desk of John Collier, able chief of the Office of Indian Affairs, is stacked with letters from every tribe in the country, pledging aid and offering to make fresh sacrifices for the war effort. He**e are a few examples: Immediately after the declaration i of war, the Crow Indians of Mon tana voted S10.000 of tribal funds to President Roosevelt to "use as you see fit." They also voted to place in the President's hands the entire ! resources of their 2,000, 000-acre res ervation, including mineral, oil and coal deposits, plus all available man- j power for combat service. The Creeks of Oklahoma have set aside $400,000 of tribal funds for the purchase of defense bonds. Other I tribes voting large sums for the same purpose include the Jicarilla Apa ches and Pueblos of New Mexico, the Euchee and Seminole Indians of Oklahoma, and the Navajos. Not to be outdone, the Colvilles of Washington state, the Cheyennes and Arapahos of the Plains and the Nez Perce Indians have announced they will not press for settlement of tribal claims against the government while the war lasts. Following the Jap attack there was a big rush among Indian youth at every reservation to enlist, espe cially at the Sioux reservation in South Dakota. Only thr?e of the 46 North Carolina Cherokees in the army were drafted. The rest vol unteered. The patriotic response of Indians may surprise the average American, but not Collier. He says: "The In dians know more than any of us what freedom means. They knew it in other years when they fought against overwhelming odds to save their lands from the white man." ? ? * WE WILL WIN Due to initial Axis advantage of having great organized military ma chines, the war will be long, diffi cult and costly. But if the Allied peoples will stick it out they can't lose. All the major basic economic advantages are on our side. .Here are a few: The Axis powers plus their occu pied territories have 29 per cent of the world's coal, 18 per cent of the iron ore, 3 per cent of the oil, 21 per cent of the wheat, 23 per cent of the sugar. Total population un der their flags, 474,000,000; of which 168,000,000 are conquered peoples se cretly trying to throw off their ter roristic yokes. On the Allied side of the ledger is 67 per cent of the world's coal, 63 per cent of the iron, 78 per cent of the oil, 64 per cent of the wheat, and 51 per cent of the sugar. Farm Topics HOG PRODUCTION AND FARM PLAN Plenty of Grain Is Seen as Necessary for Success. By E. M. Regcnbrecht (Swim* H usbandmta. T?iu A. 4 M. College ) Hog production, a basic item in the Food for Victory program, eas ily can be made successful if prop erly fitted into a profitable farming T\1 on Especially suited as a small en terprise, hog production primarily is dependent for success upon the availability of an abundance of grain feed. Hogs always pay more for corn, barley, or grain sorghums than does the grain market. About i four pounds of feed produces a pound of pork, but the feed must be properly balanced. Feeds used to b&lance the farm grain usually are higher in price than the latter but the quantity is small. Farmers who keep from one to ' three sows almost always make a success, Regenbrecht says. Hogs do not do well when run i:i large groups because sanitation and disease pre vention become serious problems with large herds. The principal item of expense in hog production is the grain feed, but if this is grown on the farm, or obtainable locally at reasonable prices, the enterprise easily can be established on a profit able basis. Witils 2 sandy, well-drained soil is the most suitable, hogs can be successfully raised on a heavy black soil, but in such case concrete feeding floors are almost a neces sity. Hog pastures are necessary, with small grain for winter, and Su dan for summer the best. Native grasses such as bermuda are good for a short time in the spring, but soon get hard and tough, and be come of little value. A good pas ture will furnish 50 per cent of Lhe needed protein and otherwise reduce the cost of production. Suitable equipment ? a movable hog house, a few troughs and a self feeder ? can be built at small cost. A concrete wallow can be classed as almost a necessity. If hogs arc kept comfortable they make rapid and economical gains and losses from overeating are avoided. It is like wise true that hogs which do not have a dry, warm place in which to bed during the winter will not make as much profit as those properly sheltered. Save Money by Making Own 'Homemade' Soap With the fats and oil situation giv ing this country considerable worry, rural families with cooking fats available can save by making home made soap. Enameled or granite ware is suit able for small batches of soap, but for larger batches an iron kettle is recommended. A large granite or wooden spoon is best for stirring. The four ingredients of soap are lye, water, fat and perfume. Lye should be pure and uniform, and if j possible soft water should be used since it will improve the quality of soap. Fat used should be clean and light-colored and it should be clari fied as it accumulates. Clean tin cans, well covered, are best for stor ing the fat until a sufficient amount has been collected for soap making, j Both fats and oils must be washed | free from salt. Rancid greases may be purified by boiling with a solution of one part of vinegar and five parts ! of water. Scents such as oil of citronella, I bergamot, oil of lavender, geranium or sassafras may be added to per fume the soap. This will help de stroy the odor of the fat. Killing Cattle Lice A dairy herd infested with lice causing severe cow discomfort cannot provide top milk produc tion. , Powdered sabadilla dusted on the infested parts is a popular louse killer. It may be used alone or mixed with equal quantities of ' powdered tobacco and flowers of sulphur. Work the powder well into the hide during dusting. Blanket the animal for a few hours after treatment and thoroughly i brush the skin, preferably out of ! doors. It is well to repeat this treat ment in 15 days in order to get lice that hatch from the nits. Use care when applying the sabadilla powder' not to get it up the nose and mouth. A handkerchief or doubled cheesecloth placed over the nose and mouth will prevent irritation . IT ORNSBY'S entry into baseball's ^ Hall of Fame brings up once more an ancient argument. Who have been the greater hitters? the right-handers or those who swing ' from the left side? The left-banded swingers offer yon l Ty Cobb. Babe Rath, George Sisler. I.ou Gehrig. Joe Jackson, Tris Speaker and Ted Williams tor a starting lineup. This is quite a col ! lection of talent to move against. I Tne ri|iii-..-nd:rr with Rog ers Hornsby, Hans Wagner, Napo leon Lajoie, Ed Delehanty, Harry Heilmann and Joe DiMaggio ? a pretty fair crop also. The left-hander, being closer to first base, has more than a full stride's advantage. I'd say the left handed hitting side had a slight edge, but nothing to rave about. For Hornsby, Wagner, Lajeie, Dele hanty and DiMaggio could also lean against the leather. Don't forget that Hornsby aver aged above .400 for four consrcutive years, taking in his average for that time, which is something. An Odd Turn Baseball happens to be the one game in which the left-iicnded hit ter takes a high place in any all time ranking. In golf, no left-hander has ever won a big championship. No left j hander has ever won the U. S. Open | or British Open, the U. S. Amateur ROGERS HORNSBT or the British Amateur crown. In fact, no left-hander has even come close to any major golf event. There have been good left-handed golfers. But no great ones ? no Jones. Vardon, Hagen, Hogan or Nelson. The portside entries can play in the low 70s, they ?an break 70 here and there, bat they are lost in major events. In golf there are no such left handed stars as Cobb, Ruth, Jack son, Speaker and many others. Just why this is no scientist seems to know. If co many people can handle a baseball bat so effectively as left handers, why not golfers? In Other Sports The same is true in tennis. There have been good left-handed tennis players, but few champions. Nor man Brookes was one. The Austra lian was a star. R. L. Murray was another. But the crushing preponderance is alfc on the other side ? Bill Tilden, Bill Johnston, Rene Lacoste, Ells worth Vines, Don Budge, Maurice McLoughlin, Bill Lamed, Fred Per ry, Anthony Wilding, Norris Wil liams, on through the present gen eration. The star right-handers in tennis outnumber the present gen eration. The star right-handers in tennis outnumber the star left-hand ers by ten to one. The same Is true In polo. All great polo players have been right-hand ed swingers ? Deverenx Mllbnrn, Tommy Hitchcock, Cecil Smith, Lnis ! Lacey. I can't recall any left-hand ed polo players. Maybe there are 1 none. In games where you pick up some form of a bat to hit the ball, base ball is the only sport that can show you a line of top-notch left-h'-ded swingers. There have been great left-handed pitchers ? Waddell, Grove, Ruth, Pennock, Gomez, Plank. And foot ball has known fine left-footed kick ers and fine left-handed passers. But outside of baseball the left-handed hitter is far below the average of his right-handed rival. We'll still let the scientists figure this oat. Equal Graces Common sense and a respect for realities arc not less graces of the spirit than more zeal. ? In NR (Nature's Remedy) Tablets, there are no chemicals, no minerals, no phenol derivatives.
