Many Chmse County Are Usier Crop for Ensilage. to Tne Gaiette: Cottonwood Falls, Aug. county farmers In many parts of the county are now busy salvaging what Is left of their 1934.

corn crop, by. con verting it into ensilage. This county will produce little corn this year and the shortage over the county will be the'most severe In' years. Farmers who raised wheat crops and had alfalfa are mote fortunate. A good wheat crop was produced and alfalfa-growers in some parts of the county, are now cutting their-third crop the year and may have another hay crop with more rains.

A dry year Is usually a good alfalfa seed year and this has proven no ex- fc ception this year. Already many farmers have harvested alfalfa, seed with yields running from a bushel or two an acre up to four or flye bushels. Alfalfa seed Is selling at 16 or 17 per bushel so the income even on a small yield is a paying crop. FUNERAL FOR DR. STOCKS.

HOLLYWOOD NOTEBOOK Cooni prospective addition to Hollywood's list of overnight" Is Ketti Gallian, an exotic beauty from France who will be seen in the title role of "Marie Galante." Miss Gallian, possessing an unusually interesting face and personality, has been kept away from the limelight until recently while she mastered English, and having, accomplished that task from a stand- Ing knew nary a word of it when she arrived she is to make her debut in one of those roles the successful performance of which should assure stardom. From time to time Hollywood presents "unknowns" In such parts the chance that the public will take them to its heart. The producers admittedly gamble on the outcome.

Surprisingly often, too, they win. GAMBLING FOR PUBLIC'S "OK" A director, John M. Stahl, won a verdict in favor of his selection of the comparatively unknown Margaret Sullavan for the le'ading feminine role in "Only Yesterday." Behind the selection, of course, was the director's desire to have an unfamiliar face in a part that demanded, for the sake of realism, that the hero forget it after art amorous encounter. As It turned out, the hero forgot, because the script, required him to, but the public wasn't governed by a and it made Miss Sullavan a star. For sharp contrast in this matter of star-making, no better examples exist than the cases of Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn.

Miss Dietrich arrived in Hollywood after a big American success in a German-made film. "The Blue Angel." Paramount threw its best ballyhoo behind her Hollywood debut in assigned Gary Cooper to support her in the for known star offered her to the public with fanfare and trumpets. The public apparently accepted her, for she is still making pictures. Miss Hepburn arrived unheralded, and little was said of her. She made her debut in a John Barrymore starring vehicle, "A Bill of instantaneously the letters began pouring in.

That's what happens when the public "discovers" a new star. Tn these two Instances the method of star-making was apparently Immaterial. Neither Dietrich nor Hepburn would havo made the grade and stayed there if the fans hadn't liked her. Set Date for 4-H Contest.

Of all the physiological qualities of the human body, temperature Is about the most constant. In health, body temperature varies but little. This is particularly remarkable in the light of the many factors that enter into the determination of body temperature. How. then, is body temperature mantainecl at a constant level under such varying conditions? The answer is given in terms of a highly delicate nervous mechanism located somewhere in the upper region of the nervous system and descriptively called the temperature regulating center: also, in terms of several other mechanisms through which the production of heat is stimulated or depressed and through which heat may be lost.

During severe exercise the body is called upon to get rid of seven times as much heat as is produced by the body at rest. On the other hand, in a bracingly cold temperature, shivering, which is a form of Involuntary muscular action, produces heat essential to maintain the body at the proper temperature. Incidentally, it is a matter of great interest why the temperature of warm-blooded animals is maintained above the level of 98.6 degrees F. It is thought that "in the course of the ages the sea must have passed this point in cooling to its present temperature, and this passage may represent a critical period in the history of warm-blooded animals." Bacteria, however, can stand extraordinary changes in temperature, some surviving when exposed to 129.2 degrees F. of heat, or 94 degrees F.

of cold. The sport-bearing bacteria are even more resistant. Not all germs are quite as resistant. The germ of syphilis, for example succumbs after exposure to 106.6 degrees F. for one hour.
