CHEERFUL CHETO American victories in the Solomons and in North Africa might well be hailed as an apparent turning point in the war, President Roosevelt declared. But, he warned the American people, there is time only for working and fighting, none for exaltation. The President coupled his analysis of recent military events with a rebuke to critics of the governments war and international policies, who speak either out of ignorance or out of political bias. Declaring that he had made a constant effort to keep politics out of the fighting of the war, Mr. Roosevelt pleaded guilty, however, to having permitted pressure to disclose the sinking of an American aircraft carrier 10 days before the November elections. He said he had realized that if the news of the sinking had been given out two or three weeks later, it would be publicly charged that this news had been suppressed by me until after the election. The result was that vigorous protests had come from commanding admirals in the Southwest Pacific and at Pearl Harbor that military information was being given to the Japs, because they probably had no sure knowledge of the sinking.

A bull cant talk intelligibly, but he still has sense and feelings, according to Professor Albrectson who gives the following advice about handling these masters of the cow family. The bull is a creature of habit and early training can establish desirable traits. Teach a bull calf how to behave in public at an early age. k A old bull calf is not too young to be taught good behavior. At six or eight months bull training is almost impossible. First teach the bull to lead at your side. Do not let him trail behind four or five feet. - A bull with a running start has made many trainers the undignified part of an uplift movement. Do not let him get his head down or get in front of you. Be firm, but not harsh. Make the lessons alike so that the bull wont need to remember too many things. Make leading a i I habit. At eight months old insert a light ring in the bulls nose. Let the nose heal before educating the bull to ' Well, is this any of your busi- ness? seems to be what Mom Cow is saying to the photographer as he took this picture of Mom and her two day old calf on the Carl Wooster farm, Union Hill, N. Y. lead with the ring. Keep the halter on him in the early stages of ring training, then teach him to lead on a staff. Teach the bull to offer his ring by rewarding him with an apple, carrot or any tidbit he likes. When handling his ring do it firmly but avoid harsh handling unless the bull is very headstrong. Professor Albrectsons final advice is that the best way to handle a mature bull is very little. Special Roosts Train Chickens It doesnt take long to get chicks started on the roost, if roosts are built on frames with cross pieces made of lath. These frames at first are placed on the floor. They are only two inches high and the chicks go on them at once. After a few nights they are suspended from the celling by wires and lifted a few inches off the floor. To steady the frame one edge can be placed against the side of the building. The roosts are lifted gradually until the desired height is reached. Americans had scarcely received the news of the brilliant naval victory in the Solomons which drove the Japs back reeling with 23 ships sunk and 30,000 sailors and soldiers drowned, when additional reports were forthcoming on the sinking of five enemy warships. The second action was the concluding part of a engagement which great three-da- y routed the Jap fleet from the Guad- alcanal area. two-wee- curtailment of RUSSIAN FRONT: Reds Show Mettle Shrewd and resourceful Vice Admiral William F. Halsey, commander of the American forces, emerged from the battle as one of the outstanding heroes of the war, for it was his audacity and pluck in the face of superior Japanese forces victhat won a smashing hree-da- y tory. Jap ship losses In the slugging encounter included one battleship, three heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, five destroyers and eight troopladen transports sunk; four cargo transports destroyed on the beach near Guadalcanal, and one battleship and six destroyers damaged. Enemy losses in the second engagement were one battleship, three large cruisers and one destroyer sunk. Naval officials said there was that the good reason to believe sinkings reported in second engagement were in addition to those previously recorded. American losses were two light cruisers and six destroyers sunk. The major part of the sea action was fought directly off Guadalcanal island, which the Japs approached with three strong fleet task forces intent on effecting a landing that would dislodge the heroic American defenders. One of the decisive elements in the battle was the daring of American surface units in steam-- . ing directly between the lines of the Jap columns, firing broadsides in both directions. In this phase Rear Adm. Daniel J. Callaghan, former naval aide of President Roosevelt, was killed in action. While the navy rejoiced in its triumph, it accorded full credit to General MacArthurs aircraft which had originally spotted the Jap concentrations and made repeated bombing attacks on the enemy shipping. The Nazi threat to the Caucasus mountain passes and the Grozny oil fields was lifted when the Russians staged a fierce counter attack in the Ordzhonikidze area which resulted in the annihilation of 5,000 German troops and the capture of 140 German tanks, 70 field guns, 2,350 army trucks and 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition. The furious nature of the Red assault and the fact that the Russ forces were fully equipped with planes, tanks and other mechanized equipment indicated that this engagement might be the signal for a e g all along the Soviet front. At the other end of the Caucasus front Ggrman attempts to break through the Soviet lines near Tuapse were repeatedly beaten back. Meanwhile reports said winter was closing down rapidly over the entire Russian front. As it had for weeks past, the Nazi front at Stalingrad remained at a stalemate, ' with German attacks Rusd beaten off by the sian defenders. The industrial citys factory area was the principal target of the Nazis effort to gain a firm foothold in this strategic Volga metropolis. far-flun- counter-offensiv- ber Gi-rau- ds Anglo-Britis- sea-coa- st Austral-ian-Americ-an para-troo- Sala-mau- s. pro-Berl- in .11 And seems my woes, just like e trusted friend I Hope this tree is one of those.

That the Boise would be refitted in time to steam off to war again was emphasized by her commander, Capt. E. J. (Mike) Moran, and navy officials. The Boise was lead ship of an American naval task force that engaged a Jap cruiser-transpo-rt force bearing troops for the Southeastern Solomons and bore the brunt of the fighting in which the enemy lost two heavy cruisers, ond light cruiser and three destroyers. Given up for lost in the battle, the undaunted Boise later joined its companion ships after receiving shell hits in vulnerable places. In the engagement, the Boise fired more than 1,000 rounds of shells in 27 minutes. six-in- ch BEII LOMOND SSI Rooms S59 Baths - $3.91 ta $4.99 Family Rooms for 4 porsonss - .
