REPUBLICAN, AID
FOR THE FARMER

The funniest piece of inspired Re-
publican fiction of modern times is be-
ing circulated in a large number Of
rural Missouri newspapers under the
head of Administration Went to Aid
of Agriculture. This rare bit of lit
erature, obviously emanating from the
Republican National Committee, is
well worth digesting from the stand
point of humor alone and readers of
this paper who are lucky enough to
have Republican neighbors are ear
nestly enjoined to borrow their papers
and chuckle over it. Space forbids
publication of this epic but we will do
the best we can and print a little OF
it. Harken unto this:
"0n its accession to power, the ad-
ministration found the farmer in 9
slough of deSpond into which he had
been plunged by economic conditions
brought about in part by the extrava-
giant practices Of the preceding re
gime. In the shadow Of threatening
financial and industrial disaster that
then lowered over the nation, the
farmer, burdened by Indebtedness and
CTOp"pOUE dS u Ic2ulb Vi Vic lutAue
prices, loomed as figure cast fol
tragedy. His condition demanded inn
mediate relief and this the admins
tration has given him."
How is that for sheer bunk? Ash
