Among The Married
Tooth decay in a husband can
be caused by excessive nagging
oi his Tvite. Nagging is also a
csiise of premature baldness in
a man. If a wife is inclined to
nag. the habit Is practically in
curable. It becomes one of her
favorite indoor sports. There
has been invented a. gag for nag
jeers. It hasn't had much.succeas.
Husbands with the courage to
use it are too rare. About-all a
man with a nagging wife can
do is to use ear stoppers. How
ever a- .New Yorker onca told
me he cut down on his wife's
critical remsrks by tinging "I
Married an Angel"- every time
she started to nag" him.

Love Interest
The only successful novel in
which the hero did not fall in
love with some woman is Steven

Holmes ever fall in love?

Girls develop most rapidly be

Report Japan May
Buy Australia Wheat .
Portland (U.R) "Pacific
Northwest wheai growers were
confronted Saturday with pos
sible loss of one of their major
overseas outlets for the region's
soft' wheat.
Japan hs been buying up to
40 million bushels -of wheat a
year in the Pacific Northwest.
And now the Kyodo News Serv
ice. Japanese press association,
says Japan has decided to quit
buying U.S. wheat and buy Aus
tralian wheat.
The report was quoted ii the
daily bulletin of the Portland
Grain Exchange. The report said
that Foreign Minister Nobusultre
Kishi told reporters after a meet
ing of the new cabinet: "It is not
appropriate to continue the past
policy of buying American farm
surpluses. The policy needs re
examination." Japan changed governments
last week.
The report came as a surprise
both to the Oregon Wheat Grow
ers league and to the U.- S. De
partment of Agriculture. The
league and the USDA for sev
eral years have been working
with the Japanese government
on educational promotion pro
grams to increase consumption
of wheat in Japan.
In the national capital, Clay
ton Whipple, deputy director of
USDA's foreign agriculture serv
ice, said he was not inclined to
take Kishi's statement at face
value. He aid he hadn't heard
anything official yet, but:
"My first reaction is that this
may be a bargaining technique
of the new government. They
may want a better price, or some
concessions on- goods shipped to
this country.". ,

I promised something exotically
different in the way ot mouln
watering grub this coming year.
It bears the highly unlikely label
of the Mau Mau kect. In time
it's barely possible this new
bird may relegate such gourmet
specialties as squab, pheasant
and partridge to the barnyard
classifications of plain old chic
ken. The main introduction this
new Mau Mau bird a wild,
white guinea hen of the Kenya
Colnnv East Africa is Douglas
Hertz, a so-called retired 72-year-
old soldier, horseman, and one
time owner ot the New York
professional football team.
Ten years ago. Hertz intro
duced the Cornish game heit to
the world and now it is be
ing sold across the country by
the millions.
As for the guiiwa fowl, Hertz
would be the first to tell you
that there isn't anything new
about it in ancient times,
Roman considered it i gr?at
flelicacy; the Creeks used it for
sacrificial ceremonies: aril in the
Kmiya Colony, it was and still
is a common staple of the Mau
Mans.
What's new about the present
high-hat Mau Mau Keet (the
keet is the designation of the
fowl's young) ? For one thing,
a guinea-flavored bird has never
been brought to eating maturity
at an aae before five .to six;
weeks; the gamy flavor is not
only retained but also' enhanced
by a secret diet .all of which
produces a Alau Mau bird with
rich gamy succulenee and dark
meat of a baby-like tenderness.
Many Intangibles
. Although Hertz has already
brought ten of thousands of
Mau Mau birds to marketable
age there remains many in
tangibles. "I still do not know
for sure how many, eggs & year
I can get from the brood hens
possibly only 60 as compared
to up to 260 from the Cornish
game hens. What's more, I still
don't know if the eggs from this
cross will prove fertile or how
much their foofl bill will be'.
I'm atill experimenting. And
most unpredictable: Will these
Mau Mau birds catch on with the
public? It took my Cornish name
hens over ten years io really
capture the public fancy. Now I
produce 1.250.000 a year!"

on and there is a midnight snack
hot mind you, and at 1 ttie lights
snap off. At 6, lights on and
their warm up meal. The food is
varied, to keep their interest,
with various flavored mashes
and these young Mau Maus are
particularly fond of a splash of
sweet black - strap molasses.
Then, to stimulate growth and
appetite and ward off disease,
some new fanglcd anli-biotics
formulas tried aid proved by
the large feed companies.
Specially of House
Added to this is a specialty of
Ifte house. "As you know," ex
plains Iiertz. "the quality of
eggs, particularly tlie flavor, can
be affected by what a hen eats.
; The sam? goe for the flesh's
1 flavor. The French, for example,
are past-ma.ters in . feeding
chickens aromatic plant. As for
, me,.i'm concerned with building
in the Mau Mau's wild, gamy
flavor."
Because disease could wipe
out a fiock within, hours. Heriz
dividew his holdings with one
man taking care of each of his
14 farms. During the Mau Mau's
life on the fa.rm, it only sees one
man and in a duster. The care
taker must change his outer
clothes and disinfect his shoes
each time.
What success the ftfau Mau
keej will have with the public,
remains to bee seen. By this
spring. Hertz will have 50,000
birds ready at his Cornish Game
enough to introduce them at bet
ter restaurants and gom-met
stofes . . . ''but the future .will
depend upon the rjublic," he
says, "not on the bird. To my
taste it e superior on every
count."

Reaffirmed by GOP
Salem OI.R) Rapubliian
state senators, meeting in caucus
here Saturday to tixm up their
position on organizing the even

their support of Sen. Warren
Gill for Senate president and
adopted a set of ground rules
they think should apply to or

The controversy oer organi

the faoi that both Republicans
and Democrats hold 15 seats in
the chamber. o
The Republican legislators is
sued a statement saying they
feel that both pSrties should
'nanse their own members to the
various committees, tfiat both
should be represented equtflly
in the fiumber of Sbmrnittees
they control and that the" party
holding chairmanship o the

committee.
No break in the solid Repub
