Most of the lumber produced in Shelton saw-

some of it will be made up for housing in England; .

SHELTON FAILS IN NEEDED HOMES
. Shelton is not doing its full part in meeting
thecall for homes and rentals, or even meeting
half-way the newcomers who have jobs here andl
must have housing for their families if they stay,
on theeir jobs and are not forced to move else-i
where where jobs may be just as good. I
Shelton should welcome the newcomers for;
its jobs are quite permanent and these families;
would be steady and welcome additions to our‘
population and the business of the community inl
general, for that is the way the smaller towns;
grow into larger cities. ‘

There is much of sameness in the daily news

LET’S KICK "ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE 5
Two staples of daily household consumption.
which come direct from the farm are noted asI
going up in price and the prospect is that they'
have not yet reached the peak, but people will,
complain about both items although they really
represent a trifle in the family cost of living.
These are eggs and milk, or the product of}
milk in the form of cream and butter, but no one,
Who knows anything. about farming will begrudge
the raise of these items for the trifle that the
farmer gets out of the raise will not do much to
get him out of the hole with the odds against him.
Today the dairyman. gets about half the
price the consumer pays for his milk and butter,
about 6 cents 'out of the 12 cents a quart for milk, ;
the rest goes for the processor and distributor;
and largely for labor; and while the farmer may
get a little larger slice of the egg-dozen, he is the
cheapest worker of the lot.
Milk has gone up because all feed and. sup-i
plies are up, again because of manufacturing andl
distribution costs, and the same is true of eggs;
where the hens as well as the owner are working;
for their board; and when it comes to the dealer
who supplies the needs of the consumers the onlyl
thing that “saves his bacon” is volume and oth-
er'supplies, as their .profits are well regulated byi
competition.

THAT REMINDS‘ ME

BY RALPH HERBERT
WASHINGTON.—Experts in
the U. S. Department of
Agriculture are watching with
keen interest the progress of
the Russo-German conflict, their
special concern being whether
there will be Russian thousand
to helpjeed in addition to whaj
is already planned for Great
Britain and, pOSSlbly, China.
Lord Beaverbrook, minister of
supply of Great Britain now in
this country, has been quite
frank in his statement that his
country hopes for great quanti-
ties of cheese, dried eggs, dried
milk and canned fruit, meat and
vegetables, so that the 45,000,000
in the united klngdom can be
properly fed. Long ago, foresee—
d’ng this need. Secretary of Agri-
culture Wickard called for more
production in cheese and other
dairy products.
HE Russian situation so far
stacks up as follows: the
German advances in northern
Russia do not affect the (1
problem greatly, because th 1;
section is a consuming, a grain-
blow is in the south, particularly
in the Ukraine, which supplies
40 per cent of the country’s
sugar beet production and con-
tains many of the biggest and
best sugar mills.
The Ukraine has always been
one of the chief bread baskets of
Russia. The part already in-
vaded, or now a scene of battle,
grows about one-fifth of the
Ukraine’s famous wheat acreage.
Wheat and other small grains
are usually harvested in the
latter part of July and early in
August. Sugar beets are har—
vested in autumn.
THERE have been some claims
by the Russians that a good-
ly port of the wheat crop has
been harvested and transported
out of reach of the German in-
vaders. But that will not be
possible With the sugar beet
crop. The Russians may destroy
the sugar beets and unharvested
grain, as Stalin commanded, but
the result may do more than dis-
appoint éhg hopes of the Nazi

Whitman and eleven others near
Walla Walla in 1847.
It is theorized by some histor-
ians that Whitman generated a
dislike among the Indians be-
cause of his system of preventing
the theft of his watermelons #
he plugged the melons, put in a
bitter medicine that would make
1t)he Indians sick and put the plug

Others believe the massacre was
a result of the Indian custom of
killingithe doctor if the patient
