INDIANA COUNTRY EDITOR BUILT CIIEMURGIC TRADE THE LAST TIME I VISITED with Wheeler McMillen, something over year ago, he was wearing, as he expressed it, skim milk clothes. That included his hat and an attractive tie. His garb of that day represented, it least partially, the realization of his ambition. As a boy, on Ohio and Indiana farms, he worried about the waste of farm products. On his own Indiana farm he saw much the farm produced unutilized. The corn stalks, the grain straw, the skim milk and sther things brought no financial return. As the editor of an Indiana country newspaper, he continued to think and write about those farm wastes- Later, as the editor of a farm publication of national circulation, he solicited aid in finding a wlution for the farm waste problem, and along with that, a use in industry of farm products that would increase the farmer's market. The result was the Chemorgie council, cf which Henry Ford has been an enthusiastic backer. Under Wheeler McMiUen's guidance that organization has found many industrial uses for farm products, including farm wastes. Sonse of these are still, more ex ' ' less, hi the experimental stage, though their practicability has been demonstrated. Many others hare passed the experimental stage, and are in daily use la the production of commodities, they form the basis of many plastics, in faet, make such plastics possible. What were but a few years ago farm wastes, today are used in the production of automobile upholstering material. The industrial use of soy beans have made of that plant a major farm crop in the United States. The days of throwing away the corn stalks, the straw, the skim milk and other farm wastes are about ver. No other one man is so much responsible for this revolution in larm markets, respresenting in creased farm revenues, as is Wheeler McMillen, editor of the Farm Journal. . Wheeler McMillen insists the great majority of American farmers do tot want government hand-out- s for not producing; that they do want, and are entitled to, a profitable market for what, and all, they do To secure that market the products of the farm must be utilized for more than food purposes. They must have a place in ndustry. He Is a practical farmer If the "dirt" variety, and has applied his own farm needs to all the (arms of the nation. The countless innovations in peacetime commodities, that will qow be coming along, will utilize in their production, to a very consider-bl- e extent, the products of the !arms, thanks, largely, to Wheeler - pro-luc- e. McMillen. , ' ) A NEW YORK CITY friend, Edward Anthony, publisher of the Woman's Home Companion, sent 'me a book of pictures of New York City. It Is a photographic debunking of the glamour, romance, adventure and success to be found in a metropolitan center. It is a book the boys and girls of rural America should see and consider. It would quickly demonstrate to them that a great city does not constitute a success mecca. Those pictures depict the life of that of New York that Is either on the edges of, or in, the gutters. Seeing those pictures would keep many a rural youth In the clean environment of the borne town. mot Angelo had been hired to work with a road gang high in the mountains and had been warned about rattlesnakes.

One day as Angelo sat on a log eating his lunch, he noticed a large rattler a few feet away from him coiled and ready to strike.

Dwight Eisenhower, a real diplomat, has been making progress toward friendship with the Russians, but got a setback the other day. U. S. officials entering Eisenhower's office found hira despondent He was holding a copy of Time magazine. "Look at that," be said, "six weeks' work gone." Eisenhower pointed to a picture of a female entertainer in a Berlin night club standing on her head, legs apart, holding a picture of Stalin between them. Time had re produced the picture. "And just as I was making some progress with Marshal Zhukov,M Eisenhower mourned. "First he would scarcely see me. But re cently we have become pretty good friends. When I go into his office he says, 'Here s to Ike.' " Eisenhower went on to tell how Zhukov was blazing mad over the Time magazine picture. He had just come from seeing the Russian com mander who had demanded: "What are you going to do about this?" "Nothing," replied Elsenhow- QUESTION OF AGE 9tffi U Wilt er. "What! Yon let the American press make mockery of the marshal?" exclaimed Zhukov. "That s what we fought the war the right to criticize, the right for people to say what they please," said Eisenhower. Eisenhower went on to explain to the Russian that because one news paper or magazine published a picture of Stalin, it did not reflect the sentiment of either the Amer ican government or the American people, and that the American gov ernment scrupulously refrained from censoring the press on matters of this kind. However, the Russians continue to be sensitive. It is hard for them to understand the difference between a regulated press as in the Soviet and a free press as In the U. S.

Ralph Lucas, chief engineer for the United States Industries and Development company, Elmira, N. Y.. said the locomotive would be fitted with a mercury turbine employing a formula for disintegration of mercury and steel atoms. He said "One teacupful of the mercury atoms, exploded, would run a locomotive, pulling 120 freight cars, for 45 round trips between New York and San Francisco." e, he would build his workshop around it. He obtained a patent on the formula in 1939, he said, to manufacture electronic power by (using steel and mercury through intense heat created by electronic disintegration of the mercury , and steel atoms. Lucas said the formula produced a controllable disintegration of the atom. The turbine, Lucas said, works this way: "It has a . , Try Atom Power In Locomotive Formula Patented.
