In international relations he seems to have the “kick ' of a Missouri mule. Henry Ford coined the phrase, “With one foot in the soil and the other in industry, America is safe.’’ The combination of the two In the manufacture of farm products assures this country of new wealth from the soli and profitable employment in industry. o o It seems that the country Is due for a ‘'recession'' in business, although employment is at a high peak and production is greater than ever. It sounds like we are being talked into a let-down, for most of the writers and knowhow's have it all doped out that way and are evidently sitting back ready to say, “1 told you so." Q (J The Agriculture Department estimates the nation's winter wheat crop at nearly a billion bushels, an increase of about 12 percent over a year ago. We raise more wheat than we need and 4UO million bushels were exported to hungry lands last year. This year s crop will further make the feeding of people in other parts of the world |H>sslble. an act which should help restore peace, more than armies. o o The township trustees heard opinions on the county school corporation law and discussed provisions of the legislative Act designed to bring about a county unit of the township system. A couple score of interested persons, besides the trustees attended the meeting and a straw vote showed five in favor and 18 opposed to the plan. The trustees did not take action on the question, postponing formal decision until a later date. Few counties have adopted the plan.

Treatment of Ear Infections

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. j EARACHE Is so common. laith in children and adults, that we should all learn a little about its source* and meaning. Pain in the ear may be due to inflammation of either the external or the middle part of the ear. but, strangely enough, it may also be canned by distriltancea elsewhere, for example, as in the sinuses. In fact, according to Dr. Samuel L. Fox of Baltimore, about half the people who complain of earache have no diseased condition of the ear at all, but suffer from what la called "referred pain." Canal is Inflamed Certainty when the external ear canal is inflamed, pain is sure to follow. Usually inflammation In this region produces what Is known •a folliculitis or Infection of the roots of the hair in the area. In some cases of external ear infection. there may be a more widespread inflammation. In either ease the patient haw severe pain in the ear which is made worse by lying on the ear or by moving the external par* of the ear. As a rule there is no interference with hearing in external ear infections. Examination of the ear usually makes a definite diagnosis possible. In treating external ear infections, Dr. Fox suggests that continuous hot. wet dressings be used. These will help to relieve the pain and limit the spread of the Infectiuu. He also urges that a piece

It's puzzling to us why such a disastrous fire could occur, when there should have been ample water supply and adequate fire fighting equipment. Maybe it was one way to get rid of the old playground, making room for a more glamorous one. o o Shakespeare It will be 383 years on April 23 sime William Shakespeare was Ijorn into a restless world that was stirring to new visions of its size. Only 42 years before, one of Magellan’s ships had circled the globe. News of Columbus' discovery of America 72 years before was beginning to have Its influence on English thought. More than 4<» years would pass before John Smith would lead his little band of English Cavaliers to Jamestown. Since that little boy was born in Stratford. Kings have reigned with absolute power over millions whose names are now forgotten except by scholars. Wars have come, taking their huge toll. Conquerors have emerged and fallen, their brief prominence going generally unrecorded. There have been plagues and pestilences, great fires and gnat human deeds. Volumes would be needed to cover the doings of man in those 383 years since William Shakespeare by some break of destiny was born a genius child. Yet his name survives. outshining nearly all other names in the full drama of those long centuries. Every year seems to add to the luster of his fame. What would he think of the tangled world today? Doubtless he would have much to say about it that would be worth listening to. His penetrating appraisal would find one- thing unchanged for all the upheavals in the past centuries. Human nature, as he knew it, would be the same as he saw back there in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

i of gause moistened witlj a mixture of suifathiazole and urea in glycerine, be packed rather tightly into the ear canal at the beginning of treatment. Dry heat is applied over the ear and more of the solution is added with a dropper every two or three hours to keep the gauze wet. This treatment serves as a continuous wet dressing while the suifathiazole often helps to prevent the spread of the infection. Hair Root Infections If any of the hair root infections come to a head they may he cut open and the infected material drained out. Unless they do come to a head, they should never be cut open as this will only tend to spread the infection. Some physicians favor treatment of this condition also with ultraviolet rays or with X ray. This may tend to reduce the pain somewhat and also to limit the spread of the condition. If the pain I* quite severe, some pain-relieving preparation may be necessary. Following the relief of the acute Infection, an ointment containing ammoniated mercury is used in the ear canal dally by the patient for at least a wdek to help prevent.- recurrence. The patient is also warned to keep the ear canal dry. Furthermore, be should have the ear canal properly cleaned by a physician every tour to six mouths, as this may also help to keep the infection from coming back. _ M

Great, white snowflakes made star patterns on the dark cloth of Sherry's coat. There was a sort of muffled stillnow over everything, so that their footsteps sounded unnaturally loud. Lex opened the door with the delicate fanlight above it anil stood aside for Sherry to enter. A small, tawny body catapulted itself through the opening. Kippy. her spaniel, all flying ears and scampering feet and welcoming red tongue, fell upon her with little yips of utter delight. And Sherry stooped to hug him and lay her cool cheek against his silken head in affectionate greeting. Aunt Pen spoke delightedly from the shadowy hall. "Land sakes, child! You did come after all!’' She put a plump arm around Sherry's shoulders and Sherry's lips brushed her cheek. No typical old maid. Aunt Pen. She was a big, motherly-looking woman, wellcushioned with solid flesh. Her white hair, cut short, curled naturally about her lively, high-col-ored- fade. She had a warm, rich laugh, a firm handclap, a boundless capacity for affection. Her cheerful words of welcome were like a tidal wave, breaking over Sherry, engulflng her in pleasant warmth, leaving no interval for response. "Stevell be so glad to see you!

Here, Sherry, let me take | your things . . As she rattled on. Aunt Pen took i Sherry's wraps and hung them in < the hall closet. Lex slipped off his leather jacket and hung it away, i too. Kippy stood wagging ecstati- I rally at Sherry’s feet. There were < thick, soft-toned old hooked rugs I on the hall floor. A white bams- i tered stairway curved up grace- < fully. Sherry wondered whether i Lex Morell, too, felt the homey 1 friendliness of this house, whether I his heart lifted in response as hers I did, with a special quiet pleasure, i Sherry explained to Aunt Pen I during a momentary lull in the older woman’s chatter, "I wanted ' to come, so I came, whether Mother and Vai could make It or : not. It’s been so long—” 'Too long,” Aunt Pen agreed heartily. ’ Lex, take her into the parlor. It's warmer in there and you must both be chilled through. ( The wind's bitter tonight, Stevell be home any minute. I've just got 1 to go out and see to my chicken." ' She confided to Sherry, "The girt , I have helping me is a willing llt- , tie thing, but I can’t trust her to , boil water. I'll be right back—" She bustled off kitchenward and i Lex followed Sherry into the big I room to tne right of the hallway. ' The lamps were unlit as yet, but ’ a log fire in the wide-mouthed flre- ’ place painted the room with a 1 flickering radiance. Beyond its ’ reach the tall windows were ob- • longs of intense blue. Sherry* • touched a switch and the lamps flowered into brightness, bringing into sharper focus the substantial shapes of old furniture. Most of the things In the house, Sherry , knew, had been in use since Steve's I grandfather's time. Fabian Jeffrey had sat in these chair*, walked ' r upon these carpets. The bronze f statuettes of horses that gleamed I from cabinets and table tops had been executed at his order. For ’ him had Rosa Bonheur made the painting of a Percheron that hung between the windows. There wan a ' sense of timelessness in this room. 1 this house, a feeling of generations • linked together, a permanence r greater than that of mere wood r and fabric. It had to do with the people who had lived here, who had 1 moved and loved and died within ■ these walls. Sherry wondered ’ whether Lex felt that. too. Then r she dismissed the notion as absurd. 1 Why should he? This house could not mean to him what it meant to ’ her. • She crossed to the hearth and spread her cold Angers to the lire's 1 heartening blaze. • '‘Feels good.” • Lex came over and warmed his i hands, too. "Yes, it does.” Kippy, who had come padding r into the room behind them, pro- • ceeded to go around and around at ■ Sherry’s feet. Finally he curled up 1 in a bright ball, his ears outspread. ' and relaxed with a little grunt of complete satisfaction. i "He seems very fond of you," ; Lex said. "He ought to." Sherry told him. I "He's mine." She added then, by i way of explanation, "Steve give; i him to me a year ago, for Christ-1 f bepapac always wapfrd a l ,

dog of my own. But can you imagine a free soul like Kippy being cooped up in a city apartment? So Steve keeps him here for me—but Kippy knows he's mine.” "Yes,'' Lex said, smiling down at the little dog, "1 can see be does.” Sherry laughed. It wasn't that anything humorous had been said. She just felt like laughing. The deep, inner happiness merely being in these surroundings engendered in her required some form of expression. So she laughed. And the tall young man beside her laughed, too. Sherry looked up at him and it seemed to her she saw in his eyes a reflection of the friendliness and liking she was beginning to feel for him. She said thoughtfully, "Lex—that's an unusual name.” "Short for Lexington." he told her, “after the battle. My great-great-comething-or-other grandfathcr fought in IL so the name has become a sort of family tradition.” He said then, "Sherry’s not a common name, either." "I know. It's because my father thought my eyes were the color of sherry.” Lex inspected them. "That's right, they are. You must tell your father for me Im's a man of rare perception.” ‘'My father's been dead a good many years.” “Oh? I'm sorry—l didn't realise-” “It's all right.” Sherry said. “How would you know—unless Steve had happened to mention it?” Standing there, straight and slim in the fire's glow, there was a directness about her, an air of candor, that appealed to Lex Morell. Firelight became her. he thought. The soft dark gold of her hair took on an a<i<ied warmth and richness and her curious light brown eyes glowed in contrast to the dark sweep of her lashes. Her mouth was a lovely thing, wide and passionately modeled, for smiling, for kisses— Suddenly, by some trick of visual memory, it was as though Lex »aw another mouth, ardently curved. Inviting. It was as though another girl stood beside him, a girt whose dark beauty sent the blood racing through his veins in a hot tide. A girt whose kisses he had known - and would know again. A girl he would never get over loving... Sherry was speaking and Lex brought his attention back to her words with an effort. "My father | ami Steve Jeffrey were friends years ago. We lived on a small farm just west of here when I was little.” "Did you ?" Lex asked. "I didn't know that.” He frowned. "What place would that be? Hemingway’s is the next farm west, but—” “Not that far,” Sherry toki him. "It's part of Steve's land now. And the house burned down some years ago—" The sound of the back door closing broke into her words. They heard Aunt Pen ‘ say, "Steve, Sherry came after aS," arid Steve's pleased voice answering, "Oh, good! Where is she?” “In the parlor with Lex. I've hardly had a chance to see her yet I myself. Dinner'll be ready in a very tew minutes.” ,
