BEWARE LYING PROPAGANDA!
Representative George Huddleston,
of Alabama, performed a distinct pub
lie service in his recent vigorous at
tack on the lying propaganda which
presents the farmers and the city
workers as opposing forces, having
nothing whatever in common.
Speaking in the house, Mr. Huddle-
ston pointed out that the farmers and
the industrial workers have much in
common. He exposed the falsity of
the arguments" of those who assert
otherwise. and showed how the propa-
gandists falsify and ignore facts to
bolster up their contention that farm
ers and industrial workers must be
at swordspoints.
Declaring that the possibilities of eco
nomic cooperation or partnership be-
tween farmers and wage earners are
stupendous, Mr. Huddleston cited in
stances of how the producers and con-
sumers are gouged. He said that it
is estimated that in 1922 the farmers
of the United States received a total
of $7,500,00 900 for their produce and
that for the same produce the con-
sumers paid $4,000, 100000. The
farmer who produced the commodity
received less than 80 cents from each
dollar that the consumer paid for it,
so that there went to handlers, spec
ulators, dealers, carriers, and other
middlemen 70 cents from each dollar
that consumers paid, Mr.. Huddleston
added.
Mr.. Huddleston went on to say that
the highest duty of the craftsmanship
of America is to bring the producers
face to face with the consumers in
direct dealing so as to permit the
least possible intervention of the mid
dlemen.
This is a sentiment to which the
masses of America can subscribe,
with the wish that the day is not far
distant when the nation will see it's
way clear to bring about that CO.
operation which Mr.. Huddleston so
strongly advocates.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Another year is gone. All our mis-
takes, failures, stupidities, humilia-
tions, follies; our heartaches and
wounds; all these miseries that have
made life seem weary in the past
year; all are behind us, gone into what
we call the past.
AS usual, many are happy, or think
they are Many more are sad
To those who are sad and discour-
aged, and whose hearts are heavy, who
are victims of oppression and greed;
TO the bread-winner who is panied
because he or she did not secure
enough to provide the little things
that go to cheer the young and the
old; to you we say Take heart
Changes often come quickly and un-
expectedly Adversely has been the
lot of most ALL Sorrow and pain and
Encouragement come TO everyone
Don't be without hope. Some day
we shall probably be thankful for
every rebuff fate gave US. The past
cannot be changed. We must make
the best of it. But the future is ours.
The year has taught us some very
bitter lessons, of priceless value. We
know one another better. We possess
more knowledge and understanding
We have gained some very rich expe-
rience. We have learned that our
problems, our ills and our shortcom-
ings, cannot be cured by running away
from them.
So we have every reason to face
the new year undismayed and una
fraid
The good wishes of cur friends
make us happy, not because of the
things material that may come, but
the assurance that our friends stop
in their pursuit of feeting happiness
or the elusive medium of exchange
long enough to think of US at ALL
After all the real pleasure is not
bought by material things. Perhaps
the poor child with her new rag doll
and package of candy is happier
than the bored sub-deb of society with
her new roadster and jewel-studded
flask

NATIONS GREATEST
TASK
Is to Danish Illiteracy

The first great, definite task of the
United States is to thoroughly eradi-
cate the illiteracy of certain localities
in its own body-politic. The great
ness of this task is, by many, we be-
lieve, greatly underestimated. The
work will require the interest, the in
telligence, and the cooperative effort
of all patriotic Americans. 1t will
call for breadth of vision, depth of
thought, generosity in effort, and
promptness in action. 1t is not, pri-
marily, matter of politics. 1t is a
matter of intelligence, of altruism, of
ighteousness.-Fr Education"
