Howard Reelected Farm Bureau Chief

Howard Reelected Farm Bureau Chief
Chicago, Dec. thames r. Howard.
Iowa farmer, is beginning his third
term as president Of the American
Farm Bureau federation. He was I'M
animously reelected by delegates from
all over the United States, assembled
In the annual national convention Of
the organization in Atlanta, Ga.
Z O. f. Bradfute, Ohio farmer, was re-
elected vice-president.
81 One of the outstanding features Of
the convention was the report of the
national legislative department., which
declared that the American Farm Blu
rcau federation, backed by the state
declarations and county bureaus, had
been "chiefly instrumental in getting
passed, during the last session Of con.
gress, more agricultural legislation
than has been passed by any other
congress since the gavel fell for the
first American congress-"
Henry c. Wallace, secretary Of agri-
culture, and Senator w. s. Kenyon,
chairman Of the senate agricultural
"bloc," were among prominent speak
ers on the convention program.
Accepting his reelection as presi-
dent, Mr.. Howard pledged the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation to the
"barndoor viewpoint as it's guide in
every policy.
II have had one place to 90 to study
whatever problems have come up be-
fore me in serving my fellow farm
ers,' he said, 81 have looked at every
problem as it might affect me back ON
that farm. In other words, I have
viewed every national problem from
my own barndoor back home. L shall
continue to do that.
"There is no problem in this nation
that does not apply to every farmer,
and there is no essential differences in
about the American Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, the inspiring thing, is that it
has brought together the different ele-
ments of our national agriculture as no
other organization ever has. The cast
knows the west and the north knows
the south, and the bond Of mutual
sympathy is helping US to put over a
great piece of work.
"The everlasting cooperation and
stick-together that have brought us
thus far on our way are going to take
us the rest of the way. [ consider that
the next few years are going to be the
greatest years in American history,
provided the leadership Of the nation
and when 1 speak of the leadership of
the nation I refer both to political or
CARNATIONS and to such organizations
as our OWLS constructive and not
destructive, and is for the benefit of all
the people and not selfish leadership.
"When grass overruns the farms of
America, it will also grow in the
streets of the towns of America. The
people Of the cities are beginning to
realize that. I believe there is a bet
ter feeling toward agriculture than
there ever was in this country before. -

MYSTERY OF LOST ATLANTIS
Believed by Many to Be Merely Leg
end, but Idea Can Not Be
Entirely Uprooted.

VIII the mystery Of lost Atlantis"
ever be solved 10 general satisfaction
The story has been told for centu-
ries, and is still accepted as true by
numbers of people ON both sides of
the Atlantic.
The original idea was that an is
land of immense size and great beau
" existed beyond Africa. with many
large cities, and nations having
strange laws and customs. Some
writer's have even gone so far as to
describe the kind of clothing the peo-
pie wore and the money they used.
Then the story goes that the inhabi-
tants Of this great island of Atlantis
grew bold and warllke, and that they
invaded Europe and Africa. But fate
was unkind to them-because of their
wickedness, it is said; terrible earth
quakes and floods occurred, and in
single day and night Atlantis was
swallowed up and sank into the
depths Of the Atlantic ocean.
In the attempt to find some ground
for the persistent belief, one famous
scientist fell back upon the time,
thousands Of years ago, when great
tracts of the earth were covered with
sheet of ice of vast thickness
In this ice were imprisoned such
enormous quantities of water that the
level of the oceans sank quite low,
with the result that large areas of
land were left uncovered. One of
these uncovered portions, he sug-
gested, was the island or continent of
Atlantis, which, on the melting of the
ice, was covered again by water TO
great depth.
The western mountains of Europe
and the eastern mountains of North
America are supposed TO be fragments
Of the high mountain ranges of this
mysterious lost Atlantis"
