Intimate Glimpses Into Dis

By Rowing Reporters

Will the United States bet 10000
on the life OF a man sentenced to
the electric chair?
This was the question which faced
officials Of the Veterans Bureau re-
Gently when they received an appli-
cation from former service man.
condemned to death, to reinstate his
insurance policy.
The application was properly exc
cuted and signed. The physical ex-
animation showed the applicant to
be In a healthy condition and likely
to live for years. According to the
insurance law there was nothing to
bar the reinstatement.
According to- bureau officials. how
ever, the sentence Of the court was
worse than a dozen malignant dis
eases. and in view OF the discretion
the claim was denied.
'Mmmm," observed a bureau Of
fetal looking at the report of the
physical examination, what irony"
And he slipped the paper back into
the file.
As a constant reminder to school
children of the Georgetown and

machines containing stamps varying
in value from ! to rs cents, which

the stamp as an account in the Po-

OF that community. Cards with the
spaces on which to attach tn.

written TO members OF congress, IN the
fight by farmers to force action on
bills to stabilize prices. But up to the
time this page was sent to the printer
nothing had been definitely done, al
though the senate agricultural COM
mittee is still reported to have a ma
jority in favor of reporting the Sin
clair-Ladd bill. The administration
fight against fixing living prices on
farm products is causing members of
the farm bloc and other members of
congress, who are in favor of the bill,
to hesitate.
The fight will go one way or the
other definitely soon, so that what
can be done by individual farmers, and
groups of farmers, within the next
few weeks will count most of all.
That is, if sufficient number of farm
ers get busy favorable action is prac-
tically certain. But it is up to YOU.
What you DO, and not what the
Leader SAYS, is what counts.
The stabilization of prices would
not be ''class legislation" 1t is need
ed to help all business to revive. The
developments of the last two weeks
show labor for it, as discussed in an
editorial in this issue. The I. v. A.
governor of North Dakota is for it.
The implement dealers of North Da-
kota have indorsed it. Fully half the
petitions reported to the Leader con-
tain the names of as many business
men and townspeople as farmers.
Some members of congress are tax
ing a strange position, showing the
need of more pressure from "back
home" Our South Dakota readers re-
port that Senator Norbeck of that
state is sending circular letters to
farmers arguing against price stabili-
zation. He admits, in at least one. of
his letters that we have seen, that he
has received so many letters and petit
tions favoring the plan that he had to
get out a circular letter to answer his
correspondents!

REPRESENTATIVES WHO
NEED MORE PRODDING

Senator Walsh of Montana, our
readers inform us, is writing letters
to farmers who have brought pressure
on him. He, too, frankly admits that
"a large number" of farmers have
sought his support for the measure.
But he is against it, he says.
Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, seek
ing reelection, writes farmers that he
opposes the plan. He tells them in his
publicity that, while he is pposed to
price sterilization he has done more
for farmers than any member of the
farm bloc. He is not a member Of the
bloc. But he depends on the farmer
vote for reelection, Yet he voted to
