With a floating dredge capable of running half a year without Te filtering, five airplanes, and a fleet of tractors, trucks, and land scrap- es's, Von Glahn will harvest grain and cotton warth $1,600,000 from his farm this year. This 40,000 - bore farm in the San Joaquin Val- 1ey.has been made as fertile as the Nile. Valley by the ingenious and intelligent use of machinery, which ot only plants and, harvests the `props, but keeps under control + ulare Lake, the source of life t, the farm yet a constant threat 6f flood.

His special machine for flood fighting is a huge floating dredge with a three yard bucket.

To Pool' All Food Resources 'saving of 25 per cent In ocean 1 icing space may result from establishment of .a British - American War Production Board, Authoritative sources estimated recently.: In addition, further economies bi cargo space may he effected through the creation of an Anglo- American foot! board. The two new agencies, designed. to combine the war and food pro- duction efforts of the two coun- tries, were announced by Presi• dent •Roosevelt in behalf of him- self and Premier Winston Chur- chill. Donald. M. Nelson, war pro- duction board director, and Oliver teyttleton, British minister of pro - auction, will form the production hoard. Three Objectives An, authorized spokesman ' said " Ibese three objectives were the immediate goals: 1. Savings of shipping space through allocation of production in ouch a way that supplies could be moved. from the producing area closest to the War .theatre 001' which they are intended. In some cases—such as India -'machine tools and equipment might be moved :there to set up local manu- facturing units, 2. Standardization as far as pos- sible of weapons used by the Unit- ed Nations so that ammunition' and parts would be interchange, table, 3. Consideration of. the .total United States British production capacity as. one vast industrial empire in order to gain a maxi- mum of efficiency from existing machtuery. Only the two countries were in- cluded in the plan beoauee other United Nations powers are not producing war materialo sufficient to meet even their own demands, and bhus have no shipping' prob- lem. Mr Roosevelt made clear, however, that Canada would par- ticipate in any joint action through her membership on the British Supply Council, Combined Food Board One development from the joint Production effort, officials said, might be a concentration of bomber production in the United States while Britain steps up pro- duction of fighter planes. Bombers can be flown to England!, but smaller planes have to be taken in ships. The "combined feed board" was expected to fulfill virtually the same functions in regard to cor- relating the production and dis- tribution of food among the Unit- ed Nations. It also will seek to reduce shipping space by restric- tion of non-essential imports, in- creased use of concentrated foods and Improved methods of stowing and packing. In addition the hoard will deal with all other questions .of food policy and strategy. The entire food resources of the United States and Britain will be considered as a common pool. }LMS. Penelope", Now 3dil- epperpot" Cruiser Shot Full of Holes Is 'Re -christened The British cruiser Penelope is so full of holes her crew has re- christened her the Id,M,S, "Pepper - pot," but she's being patched up to defy again air and sub attacks, her skipper said, in telling of Lis hale -raising experiences. Captain Angus Nicholl said his ship, called one of the "most bombed boats afloat," had been patched up at Malta, again at Gibraltar, and now is at an alas - tern United States port for • a "face-lfting" operation. She was a whole ship when Capt. Nicholl assumed command in March, 1940. During air raids at Malta, site earned the nickname "Pepperpot." Between Malta and Gibraltar, the crew ran into more gunfire and Plugged her holes with wood, For a while the clew called her the "Porcupine." ,After a direct bomb hit, the decks were so littered the 'crew al- luded go her as "Tbe Rock Gar- den." "It's not so bad being bombed at sea," the doughty skipper said. "You can twist and turn and wrig- gle, You watch the plana until he is committed to Ills dive, and then change your cem'se, "You feel hurt in your dignity if you are hit at sea." Captain Nicholl told bow an aerial bomb hit the gangplank when they were tied up helplessly at Malta. Shrspuel killed one of- ficer and three crew members, wending 60 others, "I got a splinter in a place not usually mentioned," he eaid, But repairs which were expect- ed to take a mouth were com- pleted in two weeks by an un' daunted crew.. * * * About the trine tine Germans reported the Penelope "seriously damaged, he took to the Medi - in STOPPED fir a Win/ acr Money Bock For, uiok reliotfrom Itching of manna pimples, ads lot's loot, monies,,,„bias, rashes end otic` externally caused skin troubles nre fask noting, cooling, rush. septic, 1)0q010 D. , b Prescription, Greaseless st `sinless, 800tkD ea iurtgdon and pidckly steps intone itelleg,36eufalbettle proves it,ormone Irak, Ask ,onr druggist todn, For D:D,b,j'9 8cs.U'rt0bt. terraneau where the ship and orew withstood an all -day sky at - tank before the Italians wheeled their planes off, dlagusted, •In Gibraltar he repaired "worn out” guns and replaced the wooden plugs with steel repairs.

Taught To Swim In Flaming Water The four trunk -clad Navy offl- cere emerged dripping from the flame -swept swimming pool, look- ed ruefully at the suis -and com- plained of its blistering heat. The officers were giving the final test to the most spectacular. swimming lesson to be taught at the United States Navy's pre-flight training school at the University. of Georgia—that men can swim through burning oil and gasoline and escape injury. Lieut. W. r, Foster, chief swim- ming coach at the school, and a former instructor at Southern Methodist University, termed the test "extremely satisfactory". The swimmer propels himself under the blazing oil "until his lung -held oxygen supply is about exhausted. At this point he pushes hard for the surface and as he breaks water, slaps the flames away, takes a deep breath and sinks again. "Kill That Rat" The government has ,declared war on rats ail part of the war on the enemies, of democracy. At a time when everything possible is being done to combat waste to the benefit of the greater war effort, it is estimated that rata do damage of at least $115,000,- 000 a year in Britain in their gi- gantic secret banquets in places where the nation's food is stored. An Agriculture Ministry film "Kill That Rat" is being shown all over the country to make the people rat conscious, The new Waterloo: Bridge over the Thames in England will have six traffic lanes.
