SHERMAN-CANTLEY FAMILIES

Saturday last saw the annual re­union of the above famines in Mc­Curdy Park, with 30 members at­tending. A bounteous picnic dinner was served at noon and a program was later enjoyed, which included songs by Sally and Joan Ashford, Judy and Mickey Foster, and Mr. and Mrs. Lester Can tie y; and readings by Edna Walker, Mrs. Fred Gilbert and Howard Ashford.

In election of officers the follow­ing were chosen: President, Howard

of our vacation trip. As delegates to the International Ocviigfess of Christian Education, we drove to Mexico City and back, July 3 to 31.

After a night at Presbyterian Hill, at the town of' Hollister, Missouri, we drove through the "Shepherd of the Hill?" country, along the "Trail that is Nobody Knows How Old";

j through Eureka Spring, Arkansas, j which has one street winding like a j corkscrew to the top and down again; ! saw the cacpitai of Fayetteville, the Pea Ridge battleground, stopped over night at Durant, Oklahoma, saw Texas University at Austin, two of the missions, two of the forts, the Alamo and the Buckthorn curios at San Antonio, and prepared for the customs at Laredo; imagine getting 48.50 for every ten dollars you carry across the Rio Grande.

Desert and mountain for 150 miles and you arrive at Monterrey and arc told you must speak Spanish ', if you make a call on the phone; but the clerk puts through a call for you and you speak with an old friend from Northwestern who now runs the Bermuda hotel, opposite Zara-goza Plaza, and you feel at home. Another day of mostly level ground, but through beautiful flowering for­ests, and you arrive at Valles, a thriving Mexican village, and sleep in a comfortable court bed; every court cabin is as clean and well fur­nished as the ones inU. S. A., and shower baths as restful.

Another 60 miles and you come to Tamazunchale, which everyone calls "Thomas and Charley." Then you start up the thrilling Pan-American mountain road,' rising from 300 feet to 8,000 in about 80 miles; the sum­mit is a plateau and there the Amer­ican colony of {Mexico City have dedicated a monument to perpetual peace between their native and their adopted countries. Just as we were reading the inscription, the late af­ternoon rain stopped and the most perfect rainbow we ever saw, a com­plete arch appeared, harbinger, we hope, cf a warless continent, and. eventually, of a warless world. Then you enter the vast basin that is t n e

CAPITOL THEATRE It's a laugh hit at the Capitol!

Living up to the intriguing promise of its title and exciting star com­bination, "The Bride Came C. O. D." with James Cagney and Bet te Davis, easily walks away with top comedy honors.

The two stars have pooled their considerable talents to make "The, Bride Came C. O. D ." hilarious en­ter tainment , v Cagney, who had some practice in his recent hit "St raw­berry Blonde,*' approaches his com­edy role with an effortless savoir faire that is a joy to behold. As for Mi*s Dswis^ playing her first light role in several years, she proves..that comedy is just as much her forte a:s drama. The picture comes to the Capitol theatre, . Owosso, Sunday, for a three day run.

The story, adapted for the screen by Julius J . and PVlip G. Epstein, twin scenarists responsible for some of the" screen's wittiest output , has the supreme virtue of get t ing com­edy from legitimate situations, ra th­er than trumped-up ones. Briefly

MICHIGAN BEANS SET ACRE RECORD

A planting record of 747,000 acres in Michigan this year gives indica­tion of what may be a bumper crop of navy or white pea beans . .

"You can't protect beans with an umbrella," warns H. C. Rather, head of the Michigan State College farm crops department. He suggests bean growers in more than 40 Michigan counties make plans to mature the beans in well constructed field "stacks for proper curing.

Farmers receive pay for beans on the basis of a price per hundred­weight, less any deduction for the pefc-centage of- "pick" or cull beans.

Beans' that "pick" a t the rate of 1 per cent or on** pound in a hundred arc worth but ?4.14 if the basic price is $4.25 a hundred.

"That isn't much of a deduction." says. Rather. " B u t extend the pick to a greater percentage, perhaps be­cause the beans were not properly field cured. When beans pick 5 per cent the farmer gets bu t $3.70 of the $4.25, when the pick is 10 per

The 5-speed transmission in the new McCormick-Deering **W" Standard Trac­tor gives you new opeating flexibility. There are slow speeds when the going is hard, and a speed of even 14 MPH when you're out on the highway. The handy variable speed governor is controlled from the seat.

Come in and see this new "W" line. There are three models—one is just the one to fit your needs. The W-4 with two plow capacity, and other heavier models. You'll find them very economical in oper­ating costs'.

We are prepared to handle your Fertilizer needs promptly, but we suggest that you place your order early. The 2-12-6 is probably the most used, and we will carry this in stock.

However, many farmers will use a different analysis than the 2-12-6 for their wheat, so we urge that orders for this be placed a t once. We will have the Fertilizer you wish at the right time. To avoid any possible delay, our suggestion is that you place the order a t the earliest possible moment.

Your Fuel needs for next winter should be ordered now.

M?»hn Voh X-Riy Ur.it Takes Picture in Mmut?s

Taking a picture through four inches of steel in loss than two min­utes, a job formerly requiring an hour's exposure, is possible with the new million-volt X-ray outfit in the research laboratory of. the General Electric company.

Though" three similar million-volt X-ray units are in use in hospitals, this is the largest to have an in­dustrial application. Just as the physician or the surgeon is able by X-rays to look inside the body of his patient, so engineers can look into the casting from which, for example, a huge turbine will be made. Defects which might cause failure of the machine, possibly with fatal results, are detected bei'ore there is trouble. Up until now, the largest industrial equipment in the world is a 400,000-voit unit in Schenectady, which the new appara­tus supersedes. . With the 400,000-volt unit, three

hours and a half were required to make a picture through five inches of steel. With the new one, only five minutes are required. The ex­posure time must be increased 2½ times per inch of steel to be pic­tured.

The giant unit is housed in a spe­cial building of its own. Unique construction features are employed to make it the safest possible build­ing for the operation of high-voltage X-ray equipment.

Vitamin-Deficiency Disease Except for peDegra in the South,

acute vitamin-deficiency disease is not a problem of any real conse­quence in the United States. The serious problem is a widespread "latent deficiency." Even when people have money enough to buy all the kinds of food they choose, their diet still may l*ck enough vita­mins. To provide an adequate vita­min intake, the .Nutrition Group calculates that each adult civilian should have daily 6,000 Interna­tional Units of Vitamin A; 2.5 to 3.0 milligrams of Bl; 2.5 milligrams of B2; 15 milligrams of nicotinic acid; 75 milligrams of Vitamin C. The diet should also contain proportion­ate amounts of other part* of the B complex.

toms appear in mid-July as an inten sive red or yellew coloration of the leaves. The areas between the veins turned red or yellow and the veins remain green. Leaves do not shot-hole or shed. In the second year, the leaves are dwarfed, yellowed or rosetted. Death of the chokecherry occurs the third year. I

j On the peach the symptoms also j J appear in mid-July. At that time I Teddish-purple or yellow discolored areas appear between the veins on the leaves. The discolored areas die and fall out, leaving ragged edges. The leaves soon fall except for one or two small green leaves at the tips of the infected branches. These "flags" or "lions' tails" are useful in diagnosis. Only a few branches show the symptoms the first year. Several or more healthy looking brancher are found on a diseased tree. But the second year the in­fected trees appear healthy until mid-June or July when the symptoms repeat. Infected peach trees live three or more years.

Some suspicion that a hitch-hiking insect is involved in progression of the virus disease is offered by plant pathologists. In addition to orchard-to-orchard spread, occasional jumps of 50 miles are noted along well traveled highways.

Wild black cherries, trees, are not to be confused with the shrublike chokecherry, says Cation. Some sus­picion 1¾ attached to the wild plum. The western sandcherry is another host. Cultivated plums, ornamental plums or cultivated cherries are not known to carry the virus, although these have not been ruled out as pos­sibilities in eastern investigations.

Tough Meat Made Tender, Bacteria Is Destroyed

Tough beei can be made as tender and fresh as new mown hay, scien­tists say. AU one needs, is a violet ray machine. . The Food Foundation of Mellon

Institute has announced that fresh beef, if exposed to ultra-violet rays for three days, will be as tender as meat hung in a refrigerating plant for eight weeks. It was orly after years of experimentation .that this tenderizing process was discovered, the Food foundation has announced.

Until now the general public won-' dered why it could get juicier and more tender steaks a t restaurants than at home. The reason was that the better restaurants paid the high­er price for seasoned meat which the lady of the house would not or could-not pay. Only 3 per cent of the meat formerly was' "hung."

Now it is possible fcr all meat to be treated by ultra-violet ray and then everyone can buy restaurant-grade meat at a comparatively low price. If so, there will be no more shouting about "this tough steak" by the head of the house when he starts to carve it.

The new method can be applied also to mutton and to fowls, for there is tough mutton and tough chicken under present conditions and these, too, can be made more palatable.

Another advantage of this violet ray treatment on meat is that it actually kills any bacteria which might have been in the bee"f, the scientists say. The day may soon come when the ultra-violet ray treatment may fce enlarged to in­clude many other foods in which the growth of bacteria is suspected or possible.

R. R. Retires Cowboy and Horse From N. Y. Streets

For many years, visitors to New York have been start led. to see freight trains running on one street of the nation's largest city. They have been flabbergasted even more to see each such train preceded by a curious figure astride a horse, decked in a ten-gallon hat and wav-ing a red flag (or a red lantern if the sun had set). . What they saw was a Tenth ave­nue cowboy fulfilling an 1850 law which permitted the New York Cen­tral to run freight trains on the open street along that thoroughfare, provided they traveled not more than six miles an hour and em­ployed "a proper person to precede the trains on horseback, to give the necessary warning in a suitable manner of their approach/ '

This anachronism was brought to an end recently when the Manhat­tan vaqueros, represented by 21-year-old George Hayde on hte faith­ful nag Cyclone, escorting a Diesel-electric-powered freight, made their last roundup. As part of the mod­ernization program nearly complet­ed to bring the West Side highway up to date, the trains will in the future run above and below ground, the horses will go to a riding acad­emy, and the cowboys will take more prosaic jobs with the com­pany.

Brazil's 'Dictator* The spotlight is on Brazil and the

Most impor­tant, Brazil is whole-heartedly sup­porting the "Good Neighbor" policy of the Western hemisphere.

Brazil is ruled by a dictator— President Getulio Vargas—but he does not follow the pattern of Hitler and Mussolini. There is no regi­mentation, no persecution, no mili­tarism in Brazil. Only political controversies are banned.

Vargas has unlimited power. Congress has been suspended, polit­ical parties abolished. The presi­dent controls army and navy, de­termines diplomatic, economic and social courses. Censorship governs radio and the press.

The mental weakness of men and women, according to Dr. Burling-ame, is contributed by "mis-educa* tion" which permits a college edu­cation for all who wish it, even though they may not have the brain for white collar training; the con­trol of alcohol and its removal from the category of social and health problems, and the fact that men past 40 are drugs on the industrial market.

Immigrant Girl's Fish ; Cart Turns Into Millions

Anybody who ever exclaimed, or felt like exclaiming, "I never had a chance," should have a look (with the mind's eye) at Mrs. Fannie Feinberg. This lady runs a fish shop in the famous Fulton Fish market in New York, has three of her five sons on her staff, and does an annual "business of $400,000. |

In rating the chances of normal persons to succeed, surely nonej could be put much lower than a little immigrant girl of 11, speaking only Russian, and having all her worldly goods tied up in a handker­chief. The time was 1885. But this girl was eager to work, and de­termined to get along.

In a few years she had acquired a husband and a fish cart. By dili­gence the cart was workfed up tova standing store. Then one day op­portunity knocked on the door, and Fannie threw it wide open. An or­der came to supply the fish for a large hotel banquet. Fannie took charge of it personally, and instead of merely delivering the number Yf pounds ordered, she decided to have the fish cleaned and cut into in­dividual portions ready to be cooked and served.

That extra service not only made a permanent friend of the hotel but attracted others, and the little store, always seeking to give better serv­ice, grew into a market handling nearly 8,000,000 pounds of fish a year.

Slct-Maehine Entertainment Another new development in slot-

machine entertainment made its ap­pearance recently in Hollywood and it bids fair to engulf the nation be­fore long. It is called the "Talking Juke Box." The device looks like the nickel-in-the-slot music box— and it will play most anything requested—by asking an operator at some distant point. The machines are connected with leased wires from a central station, with girl operators ready to serve your every request. Drop a coin in a slot and from the central office a sweet soft voice asks, "number, please," just like the telephone operator. The customer then mentions the song or orchestra number he wishes and presto—just like that—the operator selects the record, puts it on a turn­table, plugs the music into the prop­er outlet, and lo, and behold, the music "comes* out right here."

Lincoln Gave Testimonial During the War Between the

States a chiropodist named Isacher Zacharie visited President Lincoln in the White House and wheedled this testimonial out of the Presi­dent: "Dr. Zacharie has operated on my feet with great success, and considerable addition to my com­fort." This foot doctor urged Lin­coln to have trained chiropodists at­tached to each regiment in the army. They had chaplains to care for the souls of the soldiers*, why not chiropodists to look after their soles!

Correcting Cross-Eye Condition in Children

Cross-eye can be corrected in the large majority of instances if com­petently treated early enough. For the parents of children who have this condition—and there are many of them—this fact should.be reassur-1 ing. That the condition can be rec­tified is, of course, a challenge to the responsibility of parents. Cross-eye is no simple eye .disturbance which can wait indefinitely for treat­ment, or which corrects itself in time, Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, president of the Chicago Board of Health, recently stated.

If cross-eye is recognized in the child in his early years, it may possibly be corrected by the use of proper glasses and exercise. In some cases, operation is necessary. But if the condition is allowed to persist without anything being done about it, cross-eye becomes more difficult to treat, and the chances for correction are not so good.

To see properly, we need both eyes. Normal eyes adjust them­selves, so that the two together see a single image. Automatically, each eye tilts in toward the object seen. When both eyes together are not able to see a clear image, then the child learns to use one eye only. The other eye is the crossed eye. It moves up or down or sideways. In time, unless treated properly, this eye goes out of use entirely, and it may even become blind.

Cross-eye is usually detected when the child is about two years old.

American Made China Among Finest in World

American-made china and dinner-ware is rapidly taking its place among the finest in the world. China factories that ran half capac­ity up to the last few years are now running 95 per cent capacity. Two years ago 51 per cent of the dinnerware used in this country was imported; now only 21 per cent is imported. Inexpensive English din­nerware has almost disappeared from the market, for that type of American-made dinnerware is now equal to the English in quality and decoration. Well-known English makes, of course, such as Wedg­wood and Spode, are still in de­mand, but the cheaper "everyday" dinnerware on the market is now almost entirely American-made.

At least seven factories in the United States are now making china —really fine china. One of these factories is using, the molds and pat­terns from Limoges, France, so that it is not difficult to duplicate or to fill in the fine Haviland patterns of 30 years ago.

Learn Mask With Feet Whenever learning can be made

into an exciting game, the pupils go ahead very quickly. With this thought in mind, Arthur C. Zahorik, music teacher in Milwaukee, Wis., recently rigged up a large electrical device that lies flat on the floor and resembles two octaves of a piano keyboard, with black and white keys. The right note sounds when­ever a key is stepped on. The pupils call out the chords they are going to play, recite the different notes and then step them oft on this device, hopscotch fashion. Although the feet do most of the work, pupils tread­ing the keyboard train their ears to detect discords. With this device, Zahorik say?, a whole class can learn in two weeks what might otherwise take two or three months. An electrically charged brass strip runs along the outer edge. Beneath each key is a brass pin that sends current to a small electromagnet when the feet press the over-size keys. That forces another pin against the tuning bar, sounding a note. *

Extreme Beat Not Unhealthy If an extreme heat of 160 to 180

degrees Fahrenheit is the most that the average man can stand for any length of time, then the men who work in the Comstock silver mines in Nevada—the hottest mines in the world—are to be pitied.

The shafts and galleries of these mines are over 250 miles long, more than 3,000 feet deep, and at the 2,700 foot level the temperature of water is 153 degrees and the air is 126 degrees. In another shaft the tem­perature rises to 170 degrees, and the men can work in it for only 10 or 15 minutes at a time.

The temperature in Death Valley, California, runs up to 140 degrees in the shade—just a nice place for one of these silver miners to sit down and cool off.

But one of the hottest jobs be­longs to stokers on ocean-going steamships. They shovel coal close by a thermometer that indicates 160 to 180 degrees, and in addition they get the shriveling, direct heat from the furnace's mouth. Yet they do not seem unhealthy, and thousands of them make a business of cross­ing the Atlantic earning their liv­ing in the boiler room.

Dachshund The dachshund (from the German

dachs, badger, and hund, dog) has been valued as a working dog since the Middle ages. It was bred with very short legs so that it could work its way easily into and out of fox and badger holes.

The dachshund is affectionate, playful, intelligent, and courageous. The sleek, short coat does not shed, end, as he does not have B. 0. , the queer little creature makes an ideal house dog. ,_

YOU SAVE PLENTY OF TIME IN TURN­ING WITH A JOHN DEERE TRACTOR

You've heard about the fellow who could turn his car around on .a dime. Well, we're not making any extravagant statements like that about our John Deere Tractors, but we do know that you can pivot a John Deere Tractor within its own length—it's done by means of the in­dividual rear wheel brakes—and, say, does that save you time at the row ends. % You have both hands free to operate the steering wheel all the time—all you do is press down on the foot brake, twist the steering wheel, and you're ready to go down the next row—it's great, too, for holding the traetor on sJdehlU work*

HOT DAYS ADD PERIL TO FOODS

Keeping the family food supply in good condition is a big problem these torrid days. Home economics spe­cialists a t Michigan State College suggest use of tips listed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture for taking care of food in the summer.

Milk, cream*, and raw meat head the list of foods most likely to spoil at any time of year. These foods need to he kept at a temperature at least as low as 45 degrees Fahren­heit, Keep rbilk and cream tightly covered. If a refrigerator and a special meat compartment in that i* available'keep raw. meat there. If not, keep raw meat lightly covered, with paraffin paper in a shallow-dish. Take, the store wrapping oi'f all meat as soon as you get it home.

Raw meat should not be kept on hand more than 2 or 3 days at nor­mal refrigerator temperatures. Meat that is ground should not be kept for more than 24 to 48 hours. Use liver and other meat organs the same day you buy them.

Better picks up odors easily, so i t should be kept tightly covered. Wrap hard cheese tightly in waxed paper. Keep soft cheese in its original con­tainers, either tightly covered or wrapped.

Put eggs in the refrigerator right away and keep them there. Take only as many out at one time as will be used right away. Be especially careful of cooked egg dishes. Many a case of summer food poisoning can be traced! to them. Make cream puffs, potato and other salads in which you use egg dressing, egg sandwiches, deviled eggs, and cus­tard on the same day you eat them. And keep them in the refrigerator up to serving time.
