Dale Roysdon and Pvt. Henry Kautz, members of American units invad ing France, were killed in early stages of the operation. Notifica tions to that effect were received here last week from the war de partment by parents of the two men. Both were killed in action, Captain Roysdon on June 7 and Private Kautz on June 9. Both were in paratroop infantry. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Kautz, par ents of Private Kautz, received notice July 4, and Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Roysdon, parents of Captain Roysdon, were notified July 6. Captain Roysdon was killed the sec ond day of the invasion, and Private Kautz the fourth day. First news of the long expected invasion was received here by radio the night of June 5, although the date in France was June 6. First word was from German sources, followed some hours later by con firmation from the Allied high com mand. Captain Roysdon was 24 years old. He was born at Red Lodge and came to Laurel with his par ents in 1930 when the parents en tered the furniture business here. After graduation from Laurel high school he attended the University of Montana at Missoula a year and a half and then transferred to the University of Wyoming at Laramie where he completed his education. At university he had received R. 0. T. C. training and on graduation in 1941 he was in the active service. He first served with armored forces and later transferred to paratroops. He had been overseas more than a year at the time of his death. He was in the North African invasion and the invasions of Sicily and Italy. After action in Italy he spent some time in a hospital in North Ireland. He had an opportunity to come home at that time, but chose to wait "until the job was done. While in Italy he sent home sev eral souvenirs, which included two excellent oil paintings and a num ber of Facist military decorations from the field of battle. OLD BATTLEFIELDS SOON 11 HEWS, GORMAN IS TO Predicting that newspaper head lines of 26 years ago, telling of battles at Chateau-Thierry, Belleau Wood, Cantigny and other areas in France, will soon be featured in the press again, Frank J. Gorman deliver the forty-fourth in a series of "Speak Up For Democracy" pro grams to be broadcast over station Friday, KGHL at 4:45 July 14. The anniversary July P m., of Bastille day 14 will furnish in France on the theme for the addréss w'hich will be broadcast under the aus pices of Billings Post No. 1634, Veterans of Foreign Wars ,of the U. S. Bastille day is regarded in France as Independence day is in America. On July 14, 1789, the people staged a revolution against the monarch ists and established the Republic of France. They remained free until four years ago when the Nazis seized control of the government on July 9, 1940. "With Americans again fighting declares on the soil of France, Commander Edward Warwick of Billings Post No. 1634, "the liber ation of the French people from their Nazis conquerors will also mean freedom from enslavement for the populations of many other countries in Europe that are suffer ing from Nazis domination. Com plete defeat of Hitlerism will help establish a new world order based upon the principles of human lib erty. "Our armed forces in France to day are destined to complete the job which we veterans of 1917-18 tried to accomplish. They will be inspired by the deeds of the fallen heroes who sleep in Flanders fields. Hitler has taught us one thing which we will not forget. We must never again accept a phony peace agreement.

Surviving are the parents and a brother, A.S./Glen Roysdon of glid-1 er command at Sheppard Field, Tex., who arrived here this week for a few days with his parents. Private Kautz, 23, was born here J an. 17, 1921.

Surviving in addition to his par ents are a brother, Helmer Kautz, and three sisters, Mrs. Alex P. Michael, Mrs. Wilburt Lenhart and Miss Betty Kautz. All are resi dents of Laurel. Assessed Value Of Yellowstone County Property Shows Gain In Year Of More Than $1,000,000 The assessed value of all prop erty in Yellowstone county for 1944 is $76,261,353 as compared to $75, 185,258 in 1943, an increase of $1, 076,095. ty Assessor T. A. Cothron when re vealing the figures, "is assessed or full value. It should be borne in mind that there is a difference be tween assessed or full value and taxable value. The taxable value is the basis for taxation. That should be remembered when viewing the figures of the report." The taxable value for 1944 is $22,322,170, while for 1943 it was $22,141,578. increase of $180,592.

Public utilities and railroads are included. Agricultural products on farms, and solvent credits, show'ed a large increase in assessed value but only a 7 per cent taxable value. The assessed value of livestock is about the same as last year. Sheep showed a large decrease, but cattle were up. The big loss in value of merchan dise was due to reduced stocks of refined sugar. The motor vehicle increase was due to new trucks. Although the assessed value went up more than a million dollars, the taxable value increased only $180, 000. That is explained by the taxa ble value being different from the assessed or full value. For in stance, a piece of real estate may be assessed at $1,000, but the taxable value is only 30 per cent or $300. It is on the $300 that taxes are levied. Manufacturing machinery and money are in the 30 per cent class; but household goods, farm machin ery, motor vehicles and shop ma chinery are in the 20 per cent class. Utilities and electrical equipment are in the 40 per cent class; grain on farms and solvent credits are in the 7 per cent class; and merchandise and some types of machinery are in the 33 1-3 per j j

Seasons in that part of the world are the reverse of those here; it is now winter there, but the temperature is never really cold. New Guinea lies almost on the equator, ranging from about three degrees to about 10 degree! south. Climate and vegetation are tropical and there is a great amount of rainfall. People in the States may have had the impression that many of the places in New Guinea which have figured so prominently in the news are large. That is not true, (the speaker said; the largest would be but a small village here, and. others so often mentioned are fre quently mere clusters of a few buildings and native huts.

Conrad George has moved to Billings, where he recently pur chased property, to reside near his children. Use Cotton Bagging Tea towels, dish towels, hand tow els can be made in numerous color ful designs from the material that comes into your home in the form of cotton bags for flour, sugar, feed. Many designs can be embroidered with simple, easy-to-make stitches on the soft, white cloth that laun dered cotton bags supply. Cotton bags make ideal dish towels because they are absorbent, durable, and leave no lint on the dishes. Improves Clay If clays are modified with humus or well-rotted manure, they're among our best soils. But if the soil is stiff, hard clay, don't use it for the root crops like beets, carrots, turnips, and parsnips. Nozzle Disks Worn nozzle disks increase the rate of spray discharge, and the pump may not be able to supply spray fast enough to maintain pres sure. As soon as the sharp inside edge of the hole in the disk becomes rounded, the discharge increases and the angle of the spray cone becomes wider. This reduces effec tive drive of the spray material. Turn the disk over to use the sharp edge on the other side. Steel Furnaces Nearly 1,000 open hearth steel fur naces, ranging in size from tiny ones producing only 10 tons of steel at a time up to one huge furnace rated at 400 tons per heat have been producing steel for war.

For this reason it is likely that our south west offers favorable conditions, but other regions in the United States may be suitable also. Tree Knots As a tree increases in diameter, the wood of the main trunks grows out over the limbs, encasing them. Knots are the cross-sections of the encased portions of the limbs. Live limbs continue to grow along with, the trunk and form a natural graft, resulting in tight knots. Loose knots are formed when the wood around dead limbs. i grows Head Start Both head and leaf lettuce may be had two or three weeks earlier by growing the crop from plants started inside early in March.

I Letters From Our Boys and Girls

Sgt. Kenneth W. Thatcher, Eu rope, to his mother, Mrs. J. H. Thatcher: I suppose you have been wonder ing where I am or have been. Well, there are many things I j could write about if that were al I lowed, but we can't give informa lion on places and dates. About j all we can say is that we "jumped" j in France and are O. K., if we are —and I am, considering everything. You know just as much or more about what goes on as I do. We received some three-day old news papers this morning, the first since we made the "big jump. Haven't been doing'much the past two days except catching up on some lost sleep and trying to get myself cleaned up a bit, the best I can. Pm not hungry—but what I'd give for a good hot meal right now, and a bed to spend about 36 hours in! I'm sitting here by my slit trench with a cardboard box for a writing desk. Bye now. î

To Mrs. Thatcher from Mrs. Enid .Turner, England: I expect you will be surprised to receive this, but I believe your son Kenneth told you in one of his let ters that he had visited a private home while on a pass in London in February. I met Ken quite by chance. He was looking and feeling very lone ly, and I brought him home with me for the last two days and nights of his seven-day furlough. I Iliad previously entertained a lot of Canadian and air force officers through a hospitality club we have in London. However, Ken seemed to appreciate being in a home and among friends very much, and he has been back to stay with me twice since, for a 48-hour pass and a 24-hour pass. When he was with me last, on May 22, I took him to have his picture taken and I think that by now you will have received a copy of it. Ken wanted to get his pic ture taken and send it to you in time for Mother's day, but his passes did not fit in to make that possible. No doubt by now you will have heard that our long awaited in vasion on the coast of France has taken place. I had a letter from i Ken just a few days before it all began. I think all the boys have been fed-up with the long waiting. My husband is in Africa, hut I have my 15-year-old daughter with me. I can only imagine that Ken is over on the other side now. I have written to him, but goodness knows how long it will be before I hear from him. We pray and hope for his safety. Ken is a great lad and we have had some fun together. I thought you would like to hear from me as I had seen and been with him so recently. Edward Butler, fic, June 24, to his mother, Mrs. Fremont Eoff: You spoke of being war weary. Guess I am, but this job has to be done, or give way to the Japs, and I don't believe anyone wants to do that. I read about the Billings-Laurel school fight. They are the ones that should be here in some of our places for awhile. Staff Sgt. John W. Fink, U. S. M. C., Pacific, June 27; I have enjoyed the paper very much and wish now to give you a change of address so I may con tinue to receive the paper. I was moved from North Carolina to California and then to the Paci fic within 10 days. So far I have enjoyed being down here and am having very good meals.

Public Relations Office, Camp Gordon Johnston, Fla., July 4: Walter Reiter, Silesia, Mont., has been elected secretary of the newly organized Non-Commissioned Offi cer's club formed at the Amphibian Truck Training Group, Camp Gor don Johnston. Tec 5 Walter Reiter was elected at the initial opening of the club, organized to provide a recreational center for the administrative per sonnel of the ATTG. Other officers are Tec 3 John V. Leitch, president; 1st Sgt. James J. McSherry, rice president; and Sgt. Alexander R. Stephens, treas urer. The club's sponsor is Major Walter R. Dillahey, ATTG execu tive officer. Sgt. Henry Benner, British Isles, July 2: This is to give you my new ad-, dress, which is somewhere in the British Isles. I can t say I like it, very well over here, but it's much better than I expected. I haven't received the Outlook for some time, and I certainly do miss it. I hope it will catch up with me soon. Again I take the oppor tunity to thank the folks at home who have assisted. It was always nice to read the home news, but 1

Hello to all my buddies in the and the many friends at more service Jesse Long, East Coast, July 7: This note is to inform you of my newest address. Last week at Fort Meade 1 had an opportunity to go to Washing ton, where I arrived the Fourth and saw a big celebration at the foot of the Washington monument. Several radio and motion picture stars and a number of battle veter ans were on the program. Skelton and his wife put on an act. It was the funniest show' I ever saw. Many other celebrities in entertainment were there. Sunday before the Fourth I saw Kenneth Hageman in Washington. He had moved to a new address, and it w'as by coincidence that I found him visiting former neigh bors at his old address. I saw and took pictures of sev eral important points: Lincoln mem orial, department of justice, White house and others. I missed a shot of the Smithsonian Institute be cause of cloudy weather. Usually when I go to a new camp I find some fellow from home. May be that will continue when I get across. I surely do appreciate the paper and the Letters column.

There are seven of us running for this office and from what I can learn they are all good men— only six seats to be filled. One of us must be defeat ed. Perhaps it will serve the public interest best for that one to be me. It is my intention to ascertain, whether elected or not, if the Montana School of Mines is func tioning to the best inter ests of the people of the State of Montana, in its factual reports on indus trializing the various raw mineral resources in Mon tana. It is my intention to ascertain, what, if any, invisible influence might be employed in Montana politics, towards legalizing special privileges for any combination or group of industrialists or operators of public utilities. It will be my intention, whether elected or not, to fight any opposition to the establishment of large in dustry in the State, that will utilize the raw material and natural resources of the State in building an industrial empire in the Northwest. A rumor is about in the city that some "pussy foot ing" habitual politicians in my own party are maneuver ing to defeat me in the Primaries—that attitude is run ning true to form for the group and "inside the know Politicians. Those groups always maneuver against their superior Independent mental masters. We can make a great Industrial, Livestock, and Farm ing State of Montana if the voters are willing to "vote out" the dead wood in politics who have directed the planning policy of our community and State in the past decade. And "vote in" men with vision, logic, and in tegrity towards utilizing our Raw Material Resources in building a great Industrial Northwest with Montana as I HP H W; Pi m

LAUREL OUTLOOK Published Every Wednesday at Laurel, Montana, by JOSEPH GEHRETT CAMPBELL CALVERT Subscription $2.50 Per Annum in Advance Entered as Second-class Matter July 14, 1909, at the postoffice at Laurel, Mont., under act of March 3, 1879. WE LIKE Ol R DOCTORS Sixty-six per cent of the American people consider their physicians tops, both professionally and personally, according to a nation-wide sampling of public opinion conducted for the magazine Medical Economics. The remaining 34 per cent either had no opinion in the matter or cited characteristics of their doctors which they found objectionable. Six per cent objected to the physician's personality, 4 per cent said he rushed patients too much, 3 per cent challenged his personal competence, 3 per cent called him indifferent. Other faults mentioned were too varied for classification. The main thing is that 66 per cent found nothing to dislike about their phy sician. Another point of outstanding importance is that only 3 per cent challenged their doctor's competence. The good things said about the doctors summed up to what one might expect in an independent system of medicine where the success of a doctor depends upon his ability and character. They included pleasant manner, professional competence, thor oughness, promptness, friendliness, politeness, easy to talk to, sympathetic, helpful, cheerful, not pompous, etc. Contrast such a personalized medical service with socialized medical systems where the patient becomes a cog in an im personalized machine. The human relationship between the American doctor and his patient is one of the greatest assets of medicine. It should never be debauched by political tink ering.—Mrs. T. N. Averill in Townsend Star. Ploesti Oil Cut 75 Per Cent in Bombing Raids ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, NA PLES.—The productive capacity of Rumania's Ploesti oil refineries has been slashed to less than 25 per cent Of normal as a result of the last five Allied attacks on German fuel »OUrces, Allied officials estimate. A total of 4,500 tons of bombs have been rained down on the rich oil region in those five raids, which look place between May 5 and 31. The refining plants have been so badly smashed, reconnaissance pho tographs reveal, that only one re mains capable of any considerable production. Before the current se ries of raids Ploesti had been at tacked in June, 1942, and August, 1943. It is estimated here that the Ploesti oilfields in April of this year were capable of producing oil at the rate of about 9,000,000 tons annually. Now it is doubtful if they produce at the rate of 2,000,000 tons. Aerial photos show great oil tanks with their tops ripped open like tin cans, while important distillation and cracking plants have been heav ily damaged.

Trading Post for Indians in Texas No Longer Do They Shoot Arrows at People. AUSTIN, TEXAS.—Yes, Indians still live in Texas, but they don't roam the plains shooting arrows at people. Instead, the 40 members of the Alabama and Coshatti tribes inhabit a 4,000-acre reservation within 90 miles of metropolitan Houston, the state's largest city. Plans are in the making now for construction of a paved highway fronting the reservation and building of a trading post where the redmen may offer for sale to the public their beaded moccasins, lapel pins, bows and arrows and a variety of useful articles as well as amusing trinkets. Chief of the tribe is 64-year-old Ticaiche, whose Anglicized name is Bronson Cooper Sylestine. He and others of the settlement are wards of the State of Texas. The Indian Village isn't an ar rangement of tepees. Instead, scat tered throughout the piney forest land are small houses. On the old munity center, The white men overran the origi nal two leagues of land (more than double the present 4,000 acres) given council grounds where pow-wows once were held are located a church, school, hospital, teacher's home, agent's home, cemetery, and a com the tribes back in 1840 bv the Repub I jj c 0 f Texas.

Homes of the Indians were burned, their possessions destroyed and î their stock stolen by resentful white 1 men. Since that time life in the tribe has been one of reconstruction. The i Missionary department of the Pres byterian church has aided their i progress, and the State of Texas looks after their welfare. Romance Hidden 23 Years Blooms in War Dispatch BALTIMORE, MD. For four months Eligah Powell and his son worked side by side at the Maryland Drydock without recognizing each other, and then an Associated Press dispatch from England brought them together. A chain of unusual events followed. Powell noticed in the story from England a familiar name—Pvt. Paul Powell, his son. It mentioned that the soldier's sister, Mrs. Virginia Moreland, lived in Baltimore, and gave her address. Powell went to call on her, discovered she was his daughter, one of the three children he hadn't seen since he and his wife separated 23 years ago. His daughter told him that the sec ond brother, Rupert, was employed by the drydock, in the paint depart ment. Next day Powell introduced himself to his son. The father and his two children arranged a reunion with their mother, Mrs. Bertha Pow ell. Both Powell and his wife had remarried and their spouses had died. They remarried within three weeks. Nova Scotia Wool Eighty-seven thousand, six hun dred sheep produced in excess of half a million pounds of wool in Nova Scotia last year, producing a cash income of $150,000. During the previous year, 77,800 sheep were shorn. Nova Scotia in 1943 produced the best average quality wool in Canada. By L. L. STEVENSON The Junior Emergency Relief so ciety recently completed 30 years of continuous service. Founded by Mrs. Walter Eyre Lambert in 1914, it differs from similar organizations in many ways. For instance, it has passed through one war and is in another. For three decades, from 200 to 300 women have met every Tuesday, six months each year, to make surgical dressings of. various kinds, also layettes for wives of servicemen. Not only that, but members actually pay for the privi lege of operating sewing machines and using needles for the benefit of the armed forces. No contributions are solicited. The Hotel Biltmore donates the large assembly room in which meetings are held and at tends to the assembling of sewing machines and other equipment. A department store provides trucks and another, warehouse space. All other expenses, including materials, are borne by members who pay an initiation fee and make a stated contribution each year. Member ship is by invitation.

During the year just closed, 150,000 articles were turned out by the members, almost all of whom are listed in the social register. Since its inception (at first it was the Junior War Relief society), the organization has made 6,000,000 such articles. One-fourth goes to the United States army, one-fourth to the navy, one-fourth to England and one-fourth to home charities. A large beneficiary is Halloran Gen eral hospital, on Staten Island, where patients are wounded men brought back from overseas. At the beginning of the 30th season, Mrs. Lambert was too ill to make plans or attend the opening sessions. A group of officers took over and the work continued. Never before in Broadway's his tory has ballet enjoyed such popularity as it does at present. In the past, Broadway looked on bal let as strictly "long hair" or "arty." But a change came and now every hit show along the street has ballet in one form or another. Even Billy Rose, who is said to know good show when he sees one, has signed the classical ballerina Markova for a musical next fall. So, the man in the street knows something about ballet. That brings me up to a story told the other evening by Edwina Seaver who is the dancing Venus in the prologue of "Helen Went to Troy," in addition to her stint as ballet dancer throughout the show.

During rehearsals of the musical, getting a taxi to and from the thea ter was a task that taxed the in testinal fortitude of even experi enced troupers. Hence when Miss Seaver, one rainy evening, stepped out of her home in the East Sixties and hailed a cab, she did so list lessly, thinking it and many others would merely pass by. To her vast surprise, the cab drew up to the curb. No sooner had the elated Miss Seaver seated herself than the driv er looked back and inquired: "You a ballet dancer?" Miss Seaver, no end puzzled, replied that she was and was bound for the theater. With her answer, the driver swung into high and passed through two red lights with all the ease of the daring young man on the you know what. All the way downtown, the driver, who informed her that he was a ballet fan, kept plying Miss Seaver with questions about dancing—where she studied, did she follow the clas sical or modern, etc. When they reached the theater, he got out, opened an umbrella with a flourish and convoyed his fare to the stage door. Then the question that had been burning within Miss Seaver's shy self finally burst forth. "How on earth did you know I was a ballet dancer?" she asked. "That was easy," answered the driver. "Nobody but a ballet dancer would hail a cab on tip-toe when she's holding an open umbrella." Yes, Broadway has come to know ballet! Fatherhood: John Kieran and Lowell Thomas were reminiscing about the time when they became fathers "I was in such a daze, said Kieran, "that I went around asking people how old was our baby when it was born "That's nothing," returned Thomas, "I was so excited that when I first saw the nurse, I asked her if the baby was a boy or a man."

Tells Navy Fliers How To Cope With Sharks NEW YORK. The navy, in a booklet titled "Shark Sense," tells its aviators who are downed in the ocean how to protect themselves from sharks. "Swim out of the line of his charge, grab a pectoral fin as he goes by and ride with him as long as you can hold your breath," the booklet advises. By the time the person so doing is out of breath "the shark may lose his vicious ness." the booklet says hopefully. Miracle of Today W-: meto I w

Make Synthetic Sugar In California Laboratory BERKELEY, CALIF.—Production of synthetic sugar for the first time in the laboratory, in experimental quantities only, was announced by three University of California scien tists. Lengthy experimentation of the chemical steps in the formation of sucrose by plants yielded two grams of commercial sugar, produced from fruit sugar and glucose phosphate. "The action was carried out by means of enzymes extracted from the bacterium 'pseudomonas saccro chila,' Dr. H. A. Barker, Dr. Michael Doudoroff and Dr, W. Z. Hassid announced. "No commercial application is possible at this time, since the ess far exceeds the cost of produc tion from natural sources," they reported. Japanese Filer Dives Into His Own Bomb ADVANCED SOLOMON ISLAND BASE.—A Japanese Zero pilot who dropped an aerial phosphorus bomb at a Liberator formation near Truk overran the bomb and was blown to bits when it exploded. Lieut. Col. Joseph C. Reddock, La verne, Okla., who led 13th AAF bombers to strike Dublon island, told the story. "This Zero," Reddock said, "was in a vertical dive at us when he dropped his bomb. You know Zeros dive faster than bombs fall. He ran into his own bomb about a hun dred yards above us. Pieces of his wreckage fell through our forma tion." A veteran of 42 combat missions, Reddock said, the Truk raids were the toughest yet for Solomons based bombers. Mustard Gas Burns Are Fatal to English Girl LONDON. Mustard gas burns, which developed after handling a mysterious container found on the seashore, have caused the death of a young girl and sent ten other per sons to hospitals in South Wales. The victim, Christine Canton, and her 16-year-old brother, picked up the container for a "souvenir" last week-end. Her brother, both par ents and a sister, are now hospital ized with burns. 7/

was probably more than a trifle startled when bombs rained down on the Appian Wcy. An ancient Roman spook couldn't be expected to know about American enterprise.

Saipan -Wives and children of Japanese soldiers on Saipan island aro pictured after being rounded up by Doughboys from caves and jungles back of their lines. EUROPE: Yanks Gain Developing their offensive on the western end of the French battle front, U. S. troops drove through marshy land to envelop the com munications hubs of La Haye and St. Lo against the bitter opposition of an enemy taking every advan tage of the soggy ground and hedge rowed landscape. On the eastern end of the front, British and Canadian troops battled large concentrations of German forces on the approaches of the de fensive pivot of Caen, from which Field Marshal Rommel was sending out strong detachments in counter attacks to impede the Allies' thrust inland toward the important Paris region. As the Allies nudged forward in Normandy, Berlin announced the re placement of Anti-Invasion Chief von Rundstedt by Field Marshal von Kluge, who led the Nazi sweep through France in 1940, and was at the helm during the drive on Mos cow during the first year of the Rus sian war. Other Fronts Calling massed artillery into play from dominating heights, the Ger mans poured fire on Allied troop movements in Italy to slow their steady drive up the long peninsula to the rich agricultural and industri al regions of the north. In Russia, German forces contin ued to give ground before strong Red armies massed along a 350 mile front in the north to escape encirclement and destruction. Near Wi)no, the Reds milled on the thresh old of the Baltic states, while farther to the south, their pressure forced evacuation of Kowel, bending the enemy line farther back toward Warsaw. Focal point of German resistance in Italy was below the famed port of Livorno (Leghorn), whose cap ture promised to give the Allies an other good Mediterranean harbor for the easier transport of troops and supplies for the crucial fighting in the north.

DIPLOMACY: French Problem U. S. support of the De Gaulle ad ministration of liberated French ter ritory without for mal recognition of I it as a legal govern- ment was the latest I diplomatic problem I up for settlement in Washington, D.C. i with De Gaulle's ar- I rival in the nation's I capital for discus- I sions with Presi- dent Roosevelt. De Gaulle winged his way over from North Africa to seek approval of his negotiations with Britain, under which his ad ministration would take control of liberated territory, arrange for sup ply and equipment of underground forces through lend-lease, and settle disputed property rights caused by transfers of ownership under Nazi occupation and Allied requisitioning for military purposes. Although long complimentary to De Gaulle's Free French move ment, the U. S. has been cautious in recognizing it as the legal repre sentative of the people, declaring that only an election could deter mine their choice when circum stances permitted. m General De Gaulle HIGHLIGHTS FARM HANDS WANTED: The ,War Food administration estimates that 700,000 extra workers will be heeded during the harvest season. Many of these will have to come from cities. A WFA official said "We will need approximately 12 million workers on farms to meet peak October requirements in har vesting. That means about 700,000 city workers must be recruited." TRAGEDIES: Circus Fire Overhead the famed Wallandas prepared for their celebrated tight wire act on bicycles as 6,000 happy spectators awaited the performance under the big canvas tent of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey circus in Hartford, Conn. Near a sidewall of the tent, small flame was noticed. Suddenly, it flared and leaped upward, with great patches of burning canvas falling when fire had seared them off. The cry of "Fire! Fire! Fire!" spread through the panic-stricken spectators, and their frantic shouts mingled with the din of roaring ani mals in the corral outside. As the great sheets of burning can vas fell on top of the milling crowd below, adults and children struggled to make their way to safety, but scores were trapped, with some run ning into the steel ramps through which animals were led into the arena. As rescue workers dug into the de bris, they extricated the bodies of 135 victims, mostly children, and more seriously injured. Miners Trapped As scores of relatives of 64 miners trapped in the Powhatan pit near Bellaire, Ohio, waited hopefully at the mine entrance, officials grimly announced that the shaft would have to be sealed off to prevent the flow of oxygen feeding the raging flames underground. In one last desperate effort to free the men entombed in a dead-end tunnel when a rock fall broke a high-voltage trolley wire along the main passageway and sizzling sparks ignited coal, skilled crews prepared to drill down 350 feet to open a shaft for lowering food and water. In a previous effort to free the entombed men, rescue workers were cutting a new 500-foot tunnel through coal and rock to bypass the flames and reach the victims, when new fires halted their work. Train Wreck Climaxing the string of major tragedies was the derailment of a Louisville and Nashville train in Clear Fork River gorge near Jellico, Tenn., with early reports listing 25 dead and many injured. Casualties on the troop-carrying train resulted when the locomotive and two coaches left the track and plunged 50 feet into the gorge, and two other cars overturned on the edge of the decline and caught fire. Although hindered by darkness, rescue workers used acetylene torches to probe the wreckage and remove victims, while mountaineers hoisted the stricken up from the gorge with block and tackle. CHINA: Bloody Fighting Fighting with their backs to the wall, Chinese troops stiffly resisted strong Japanese efforts to seal off the embattled country's whole east ern seacoast and strengthen their grip on the Asiatic mainland. Chinese forces far to the south west sought to join up with Allied troops driving through Burma to open up a new supply route to China from India. Only 26 miles of moun tainous terrain stood between the two armies. The 14th American air force joined in the savage battle in China, bomb ing and strafing the enemy and drop ping tons of ammunition to .the val iant defenders. the week's news UNREST: Uprisings in Honduras and Nicaragua are reported as un rest appears to be spreading throughout the small nations of Cen tral America. A dispatch from San Salvador stated that the president Honduras had already resigned, and that a passive resistance move ment was developing against the president of Nicaragua. Guatamala too, was the scene of rioting. PACIFIC: Subs Take Toll With the Allies pressing closer to Japan's inner supply lines feeding her booming war industry, U. S. subs and air forces can be expected to take an increasing toll of enemy shipping, navy secretary James Forrestal declared. In reporting that U. S. subs re cently had sent 15 Jap cargo ves sels and two warships to the bot tom, Forrestal said such losses crimped the enemy's whole war pro gram, since he must move about 75 million tons of water-borne freight into the home islands yearly, in cluding 75 per cent of his oil and gas supply from the East Indies. Despite heavy marine losses, For restal said, the Japs have lightened the effects through use of huge stockpiles of materials built up be fore the war, lessening of trans port to encircled South Pacific areas, and the utilization of surplus prewar shipping tonnage. LEND-LEASE: Steady Shipments Lend-lease shipments of food to the Allies continued at a steady pace during the first five months of 1944, with some commodities being sent in larger volume and others in smaller amounts, with little net ef fect on domestic supplies. During the period, 9.3 per cent of the total U. S. meat supply was shipped under lend-lease, with the About 15.6 per cent of the nation's pork was sent abroad. The United Kingdom and Russia continued to receive most of the lend-lease food, with the U. S. sup plying 10 per cent of British needs. 'Black Widow'

Said to be the largest and most powerful pur suit plane built, the "Black Widow" Is especially equipped for night fight ing. Blank spots indicate censor's deletions. BUGS: Man's Allies Acting in conjunction with the U. S. department of agriculture, the nation's farmers are turning preda tory bugs upon destructive insects to assure crop growth. In Illinois alone, more than 40,000 wasps and flies were released to combat corn borers threatening the state's rich grain fields. No sure-fire remedy in themselves, however, the work of the predatory insects can only complement clean farming and deep plowing, agronomists say. When turned loose, the predatory insects crawl through the corn borer's tunnel in the stalks, with the wasps penetrating its body to lay eggs in it, and the flies depositing eggs on the outside. As the eggs feast on the borer even in the pupa stage, they eventually destroy it, while emerging themselves. ROBOTS: Inflict Casualties With all Britain stirred by the robot menace which continued to exact its toll of casualties and dam age, Prime Minister Churchill told the parliament that over 10,000 peo ple had been killed or wounded by the flying bombs and he could give no guarantee about the future of this form of attack. Although declaring that the Allies would not be goaded into diverting attention from the Normandy bat tlefront by the robots, Churchill said that considerable numbers of U. S. and British planes have been ham mering the French coast from which the flying bombs are believed to be launched. Powered by fuel and compressed air and automatically piloted by gy roscopes, the robots have been buzz- j ing over southern England at speeds of 300 m.p.h. or more and altitudes of about 3,000 feet, to suddenly break off into a 30-degree glide and crash to earth with an explosive force of 1,000 pounds. ENDS DUST The dust that lays thick on Texas flying fields is being conquered with Grama grass at Biggs field, Texas, where the army spent more than a quarter million dollars in efforts to keep it down. Prairie hay is spread over the field after it has been carefully lev eled. Then a combination cultivator and roller chops it up and rolls it into the sand. Grama grass seed is then sown, and when the hay rots the grass grows, effectively holding down the soil. 5 The Laurel Bailey For Sheriff Club I .x k k V FmlorsoK the eamihlacy of

Applying Fertilizer In irrigation Water Farmers now irrigating their sugar i>eets may increase their yield by applying ammonium sul phate to irrigation water. This method, widely used in beet seed pro duction in Arizona, can be recommended for beet fields in this region where the land is fairly level. Where the slope of the land is steep, it is diffi cult to get uniform application of the solution and some of the fertilizer is likely to be wasted. Ammonium sulphate is readily dissolved in water, ft is easy to dissolve 150 pounds of fer tilizer in an ordinary 50-gallon barrel. The barrel, or preferably a larger tank holding about two bar rels is set up so that the solution can trickle into the ditch by means of the valve. It is desirable to use about 150 pounds of am monium sulphate per acre. If it requires two hours to irrigate an acre, 75 pounds should be added to the barrel per hour. A beet worker sta tioned at the barrel can add the fertilizer at fre quent intervals with a scoop or cup. It is de sirable to keep the barrel full at all times.

Middleton, candidate for nomination as gov ernor of Montana, was predicted here today by John E. Erickson, former governor of this state. The ex-governor made the statement after compiling results of a survey from all sections of the state. "There is every indication that Mr. Middleton will win the nomina tion by a healthy margin. I am happy to learn that the great ma jority of Democrats are supporting the strongest and best qualified candidate," he said. —Paid Pol. Adv. Famed *75 9 Gun of 9 18 Now in Bombers Largest Arm Ever Mounted In an Airplane. ORLANDO, FLA.—The old ''75" mm. cannon, the famous artillery piece that dad slogged behind in the mud of France during the First World war, is now serving junior from the air at 300 miles an hour. The well-known French three-inch cannon now provides our heaviest air firepower from its perch in the nose of the Mitchell B-25 medium bomber. It is the largest gun ever mounted in a plane. The "75" makes the Mitchell a triple threat force of destruction, with its armor-piercing shells, 14 50 caliber machine guns, and its ability to demolish a target by skip-bomb ing. The addition of the gun adds an other job to the five or six man crew of a medium B-25. Usually the navi gator or the crew chief acts as "cannoneer" and does everything except the actual firing, including the loading and handling of the can non. One of the advantages of the can non's long firing range is that it al lows the pilot to see his hits on the target which is ahead of him when the shell strikes, and to phootgraph enemy fortifications and the dam The gun is being perfected for use as "air artillery" against enemy ground installations and recently wreaked havoc on Jap airdromes and landing fields in New Guinea, and blew up a half-million gallon Japanese gas tank in Burma. The "flying cannon," which was at first considered another aviation im possibility, but which has proven it self in combat, is now being further developed and improved by air war veterans back from overseas, at the army air forces tactical center here. Six Sisters Meet Brother First Time in 18 Years MILWAUKEE.—Six sisters and a brother, separated when their moth er died 18 years ago, are now unit ed. The brother, Staff Sergt. Jerome Egbert, 26, who had been in the Panama Canal Zone four years and in the West since last October, met the family at the homes of the mar ried sisters and other relatives. A high point of Sergeant Egbert's Milwaukee visit came when he was godfather to his month old niece, Susan Margaret, daughter of his sister, Margaret (Mrs. Stephen Cain, 2871 N. Richards street). He has been getting acquainted, too, with the children of his oldest sisters, Louise (Mrs. Earl Huey, Redmon, Ill.), and Bernice (Mrs. Walter Stubbe, 6821 W. Dixon avenue). The other sisters who have been with him this week are Lillian, 739 N. Jackson street, Lenora, who came from Flint, Mich., with an aunt, Mrs. Anna Kohn, and Josephine, who lives with Mrs. Stubbe. Their grandmother, Mrs. Callie Eygabroad, came from the Wiscon sin Veterans' home at King, Wis., to her cottage on Lake Nagawicka to give a reunion dinner in Jerome's honor; an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. John Earwig, 2843 W. Juneau avenue, gave Mr. and Mrs. Stubbe were hosts at open house. Yanks Donate $3,000 to Child of Hero Mother LONDON.—American airmen at a Ninth air force base in England have contributed nearly $3,000 to an edu cation fund for four-year-old Tony Everitt, orphaned when his mother saved a gunner from his crashed and burning plane and then died try ing to rescue others. Men from the base filed by a table after drawing their pay and deposit ed $2,000. Soon the fund had grown to more than $2,800 and still was swelling. The plane collided with another aircraft and crashed into a field near the Everitt farmhouse and started to burn. Mrs. Betty Everitt dashed into the inferno, beat out the flames which were searing the body of the turret gunner—the only man to escape—and continued her rescue efforts until the bomber exploded. Yank Gets Three Foes And a Jerry, New Son A UNITED STATES FIGHTER BASE, ENGLAND. When Lieut. Fletcher E. Adams, 22, of Rodessa, La., returned from a raid on Berlin he found a cablegram telling him he had become the father of a son. The message, sent April 24, the day Adams got three "Jerries" to bring his score to seven, read: "Hi Pop. Arrived this p. m. Weight eight pounds. Found Mom doing fine. Missed seeing you, Jerry." Adams said he would change his April 24 score to "four Jerries. »I Captured Italians Now Aiding British in India BOMBAY.—Some 1,300 Italians who were captured in North Africa three years ago arrived here recent ly from internment camps in central India to help clear away debris caused by an explosion aboard a munitions ship in the harbor last April 4. The Italians, who volunteered for the job, wore British battle dress and will receive the same rations as British troops. -i rp Take Illy Word For III I By FRANK COLBY ----Ai ii_ HANDBOOK OF PRACTICAL ENGLISH Q. Should one say, "I am very interested," or "very much inter ested"? Answer: This is a rather techni cal though important grammatical point which I shall try to make clear. Such words as interested, pleased, satisfied, worried, discouraged, serve as both verbs and adjectives. In such a sentence as, "She wore a pleased expression," the word "pleased" is an adjective, modify ing the noun "expression." But in "She was very pleased by the compliment," the word "pleased" plainly is a verb form, and should be intensified by "very much," instead of by "very." Avoid: "I am very interested." Better: I am very much inter ested. Avoid: "She was very worried about her son." Better: She was very much wor ried about her son. Avoid; "He is very satisfied with himself." very with himself. Avoid: "I was too discouraged to try again." Better: I was too much (or: too greatly) discouraged to try again. Q. Will you please tell our class the correct plural and possessive forms of the word BUS? A. Bus is a shortened form of omnibus, a Latin word which means "for all." The first choice plural of bus is: busses. The second choice is buses. I prefer the form busses for the reason that it is phonetic.

Pepper Care Air weakens pepper flavor and light and heat steal the aroma and taste. to to at Inexperience Is Dangerous What will our status be after the war? Surely, we can't experiment with inexperience a I The most serious question today is, WHAT IS YOUR STATUS GOING TO BE WHEN THE WAR ENDS? and whether you are a business man, a laborer, farmer or rancher, you know that the time is too critical for experiment with inexperience. Ex-Governor Roy E. Ayers is the only man seeking high office in this state who has personally discussed this important question. Roy Ayers' past experience has prompted him to offer a workable program wherAy busi ness, industry, labor, agriculture and finance may continue as it is, and, at the same time have our returning soldiers fit into the picture without interruption. Ex-Governor Ayers' plan has been personally put forth by him on all the radios and it has been met with general approval regardless of politics. As we are getting nearer the war's end politics enters most seriously in selecting men upon whom we can de pend for a post-war activity that will leave business and agriculture and labor in a normal condition and at the same time replace the returning soldiers in the program. That is the Roy Ayers' plan. If Montana is properly recognized under the 6 Vi billion dollar government G. I. Bill of Rights law we can de velop our natural resources and process and manufacture them at home so that all slack will be taken up within the state. That is the Roy Ayers' plan. W

f ROY E. AYERS DEMOCRAT for GOVERNOR His record of Achievement in Congress and as Governor speaks loudly for his quali fications as a POST WAR GOVERNOR, Roy Ayers is the only can didate for Governor who has offered a Post-War Plan. It is an approved plan. If elect ed he can put it into effect If you have not heard the Roy Ayers' plan yon should make every effort to hear it over the radio. It is an approved plan for post-war activity. It will work. Roy Ayers can put it over if he is elected Governor. He is experienced in doing such things. Roy Ayers' accomplishments as Congressman and as Governor are well known and are too recent for us to have forgotten. He can do the post-war job. We need him now I Yes, ROY AYERS can do it!

He served with distinction in the Montana State Senate and won the respect of associates of both parties. He proved himself to be courageous and able and refused to dodge or straddle on any issue. His record as a soldier, citizen, legislator, and public prosecutor warrants the belief that he would make Montana a successful Con gressman serving with fidelity his State and with impartial fairness and integrity all of the people regardless of class or activity.

Women's Suits What about suits for the woman with large hips? A fitted suit jacket ending just above the largest pari of the hips will tend to increase thé size by calling attention to the cir cumference outlined by the bottom of the skirt. A jacket length just covering the widest part will la many cases cut the figure in half, resulting in unpleasant proportions. Avoid the use of two colors in jacket and skirt, as such a combination divides the figure and calls attention to the wrong part of it.

GAY GADGETS

Associated Newspapers—WNU Features. No si le fashion trend has gone 4t to your head as strongly as the new flat hair-do with wide ribbon band. And in your own tricky way, you've worked out some cute variations that should be fun for any gal to try out on her own noggin. Here's how you can beat the band. GET ON THE BAND WAGON Ear Muffs in Summer Dress—Re move the wooly ear muffs from the metal headband that connects 'em and cover the metal band with rib bon. Clusters of posies at the ends give you ear muffs—summer style. Band Singer—Your headband is a swoonderful parking space for your favorite crooner's picture. That's the new way of telling people whether you have Frankie or Bing on your mind. Leftover Lure—Any yarn left over from that last sweater you knitted for yourself? Just knit up a band, about three inches wide, and tie it in back with narrow ribbon under your hair. They say the "two knit-two purl" technique brings the best re sults. And in stead of making bows with the cot ton material left over from that new dirndl skirt—sew up a band for your self. Trim it with little pearl but tons just for show. School Headliner—Combine your school colors in your headband, just the way you used to do with your hair bows. Try twisting or braiding separate ribbons together across the front. rsnra 's v là WL^Zi Vacation Vagaries Sail the 7 "C's"—We don't mean the seven seas that "papa" is off to in "Shoo-Shoo Baby." These are the seven "C's" that have inspired lots of personality and good-groom ing clubs for teen-agers. In case you don't guess what they are, we'll list 'em for you. Coiffure, Complex ion, Charm, Condition, Character, Tea Drinkers The British merit their reputation as tea drinkers. According to U. S. Department of Agriculture figures, Britishers consume an average of 2,400 cups of tea a year, or almost seven cups a day. In the United States the yearly average is only 140 cups. Dusted Seed The organic mercury dust treat ment will control the two smuts of oats, the stripe of barley, and stink ing smut of wheat. It serves also to protect the planted seed against soil decay. Wood Structure The structure of wood is com prised of myriad cells containing dead air spaces which retard pas sage of heat. Wishing Well Books The newest type of book that s being passed around is all about your dearest wishes. Writing your wish down is supposed to make it come true. Don't sign your name and, Carriage, Care. Why don't you start a "Seven 'C's' Club" among your own crowd over the summer. It should improve your rating. if

the wish is very personal, better print it out so no one will recognize j your handwriting. It's fun to look 1 through the book and see if you can guess which wish belongs to whom. J Anyway, it's a big improvement over those Slam Books. j Old Hats Into New Beanies—You just cut off the brims, trimmed up the crown and there you were with a beautiful beanie. But something new has been added in millinery make-overs. Now you convert your j old hats (or anybody else's hat that j you're lucky enough to get) into a half-hat—strictly 1944. Cut off the j brim and then fold the crown inthc middle and cut it double until it's

crescent shape. That, junior, beginning of your half hat. Use some of the discarded felt for bows or flowers at either end and attach little grip combs to the inside of each end for anchorage. If it's I glamor you're looking for, add a wisp of a veil. DAFFYNITIONS Oh, Brother! The successor to "It's Murder!" or "Are you Kid- I ding?" C to C—Cheek to Cheek (applied to dancing, of course. In some crowds only steadies dance C to C). New adjective for Creamy swoony or droolsome. Chamber of Commas English room in school. That's neither Mairzy nor dotes i T 'hat's neither here nor there. Rough Rider— Tough guy. That's Tough Apples—That's too bad (an expression denoting sym pathy for somebody's misfortune.) I'm Humilated—The new way to say that you're embarrassed (They tell us it conies from Margaret O'Brien's movie, "Lost Angel"). Fat Content Cocoa from Brazil is high in fat content. '-O

Flak", a black cocker spaniel, is pictured in his Denver home with his new mistress, Mrs. Jesse Bell, after his plane trip from England, which was authorized by General Arnold, chief of the air forces. Flak was the pet of Mrs. Bell's son, Sgt. Robert K. Bell, 23, who was killed when his bomber crashed in Eng land. rectionville, departed for overseas duty in July 1942. He is a member of a Fifteenth Air Force Service Command service group, and had been in far-off Syria, Egypt, Libya and Tunisia before he departed with his group for Italy, As a member of a crack Ninth Air Force Service Command service group in Africa, Sergeant Bern hardt and his outfit followed close in the wake of the German armies, servicing and supplying the Allied aircraft that helped pound back the enemy from the gates of Egypt across Libya and into Tunisia, He has two brothers, LaVere and Rogers, one of whom is doing com bat duty on the Italian front. Ser géant Bernhardt recently met him. Said he, "It was sure nice to see Rogers again. He just flew in one day on a short leave, and called me by phone. Guess I never was so happy to see the guy before. He looks healthy and in good spirits." Corporal Bice is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lorin Bice of Laurel, Mont. He entered the army Jan. 10, 1942, and has been overseas since Sept. 5 of the same year. After the two men met in Africa, Corporal Bice received permission to transfer from his former outfit into the service group of which Ser geant Bernhardt is a member. At present, both men, 21, are re cords clerks. In civilian life Bern hardt was employed by J. C. Penney Co. department store in Sfoux City, Iowa. Bice was a service sta tion attendant in Cooke City, Mont., where he worked for his father. Bice and Bernhardt Meet In Carthage (Continued from Page One) knew Bob was in Africa from let ters he had written me before, but it wasn't till one day when I was inspecting the ruins of ancient Car thage that I jumped and almost fell into an old Roman cistern at the sight of him. It sure was a freakish break for us. Sergeant Bernhardt grins amiably and adds, "It certainly was freak ish for a couple of buddies who come from a town of less than 2,000 people to stumble across each other on the world-famed ruins of Garth But believe me, from Cor age. lectionville to Carthage is quite a big jump.

7 45 00 to X o. m. worn i o Laurel's Own Store Since 1909 Gives Impressions Of South Pacific (Continued from Page One) customs, part English and part American. The captain mentioned a number as illustrations. One cus tom that at first perplexes new ar rivals is the casket sale. The word casket, the arrival learns has noth ing to do with coffins; it refers to a national lottery. The rainfall is more abundant on the outer rim of the continent than on the higher, tableland interior. The later becomes progressively semi-arid. The factors of moisture, altitude and température as they present themselves in several com binations account for density or sparseness of population and types of agricultural production. The soil yields great amounts of veg etables and fruits in favorable lo calities, while other districts and regions are better suited to grain and livestock. There is a marked variation in climate and pursuits. Some of the cities are quite large, well arranged and modernly equip ped. In noting the differences be tween Australia and the States, Captain Gehrett mentioned the large number of residences without sewer connections. He described a Rotary club meet ing he attended in Brisbane as a guest of the president, a Mr. Broad, and the cordiality and hospitality he encountered and enjoyed. The speaker at the meeting was introduced by R. H. Sterrett, pro gram committeeman for July. Syrnp From Sap Traditional practices in maple tree sugar production have been succeeded in some measure by bet ter forestry, by improvements in coHecting and processing the sap, by temperature and density control with instruments. Before wartime restrictions took effect, the trend was toward tin buckets hung on wire hooks attached to metal spouts driven into the trees. Sap was piped to vats placed near sugar houses. From the vats the sap ran auto matically into evaporators and was quickly converted into sirup or sugar. Cpl. and Mrs. Brickinan Are Feted During Visit Cpl. Charles Brickinan and Mrs. Brickman were entertained at sev eral events during their visit here. On Friday evening a group of neighbors gathered at the A. H. Brickman home and served a pitch in supper. Present were Mr. and Mrs. Martin Hagan, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Bates, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Geiger, Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Winters, Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Brohaugh, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Slater, Mary Lou Winters, Charles and Ann Bro haugh, Mr. and Mrs. Brickman, Freddie and Verne Brickman, all of the Spring creek community, Miss Ruth Brickman of Billings, Mr. and Mrs. J. G.

Lack Funds Central American countries not unlike those on the continent far as the Red Cross program is concerned, but, with the exception of Mexico, Cuba and San Domingo, are hampered by lack of funds. are as Taxes Wiped Out Lake Erie has washed approxi mately $2,000,000 off the Lake county, Ohio, tax list in the last few years. At Painesville-on-the Lake, Ohio, some lake front lots formerly on the tax book for $1,000 are appraised at $10. Not only has erosion resulted in the area, but in a number of cases buildings either have been plunged into the lake or have been moved to pre serve them. now
