Actually the official event is Valentine Day. February 14, but the anxiety of the young folks cannot be overlooked. While school kids will note the annual event on Fridav. (u?h) the 13th most adults will follow the calendar. Exchange of val entines in schools will be a pre liminary for similiar exchanges by adults. But while the suggestion comes too late for the married men of the community, one thoughtful official has decided that unmarried men might take the hint on Valentine's Day and thus avoid the double expense of an anniversary and Valentine present. But ' for those already past that stage in the game, Platts mouth merchants have come up with a variety of suggestions !i- i no. turning Limy, auucu ca- i pense. i nal, the merchants are suggest- i r incr n variptv nf nunlitv tnftx i CJ " - - J 1 j o I which they know "will please the little woman."

AND TILT IN AGRICULTURE Giving sheep phenothiazine in the. salt has proved a safe and efficient way to control sheep parasites during ten years ex perience at the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture's Beltville Research Center. The research ers report no losses from para sites and no trouble traceable to the drug. They find no evi dence that any drug-resistant strains of parasites have de veloped. Nor have they found any sign of sheep becoming immune to parasites, when the medication is discontinued. They plan to keep supplying pheno thiazine n salt to their flocks. Prof. M. A. Alexander of the University of Nebraska said that j the drug has been used on the institution's flock for about 10 years. He says it is most effec tive when used as,, a drench to control modular' disease and stomach worms. A drench also used in the University's flock is copper sulfate-nicotine sulfate, henothiazine , in the salt is ef fective against parasites if pro per management methods are used along with it, according to Prof. Alexander.
