Summer has been sneal1ing in
ON us with a bit of q shiver, but
in june it win stop shaking that
cold shoulder and start to smother
us as scheduled, and right now
it's well to go in training for the
summer time and prepare your
self to play safe at the porch pow
vows, where it's so easy to sip
iced tea and spout about some
body and then wish you hadn't
said what you said!
When you are sitting i'm with
a bunch of brOadcasterS who like
to spout scandal, learn to re1nem-
Der right now that the only safe
ty is silence-silence with mug
Zle on it!
Spouting can seem such q sim
pie sin among the sisterhOOd OF
sweet slanderers, but q IOtta mis-
chief can start from the wrong
slant on q slight statement, and
it's the ready cOnfider who is
often the quick dOuble-crOsser,
and they work so fast they can
make it seem that even If yOaI
didn't say anything you said
everything!
Half the eternal triangIeS are
just the eternal tea angles ON
the case.
LET EN- RUIN VENEER.
When you are called upon to
contribute your bit to the back
biting conversational cruise that
is going to put somebody on the
rocks, just smile and sip, and
sneak the first chance you get.
It amt even any too safe to
listen in!
I'd rather beat it and give 'em
a. chance to pan me than be
party to panning the other fellow.
Whatever you happen to know
about anybody, be sure and stop
to think that If they knew it
about you. would you want them

ULTERIOR MOTIVES.
It's hard to tell whether some
people are praising or panning q
friend. they do it so carelessly!
BE sure and look out for these
birds that come purring around
with their personal patter. They
are just giving you the old ear
oil to see IL you in turn will open
up your own little satchel OF
signs.
It's hard to tell where their
curiosity stops and real concern
starts.
Swapping secrets-yOur own or
anybody else's-is bad bust

Some people are so fresh they

MEMORIAL DAY
DIGNITY IS
SOUGHT
Sons and Daughters of Grand

By KENNETH HARRIS,

CHICAGO, May 20. - Battling
against odds, but still determined
to continue the fight which had its
inception more than a decade ago,
the Sons and Daughters Of Grand
Army of the Republic, Veterans of
illinois, have announced their inten-
ton of broadcasting an appeal to all
citizens Of the United States to
cease the dissertation of Memorial
Day"
Memorial Day, to thousands Of
persons throughout the nation,
means nothing more than another
holiday" declared Miss Hazel L.
Riley, a department organizer IN
the Daughters organization. This
day, which comes but once q year,
and which to us is day Of recon-
secration to the high ideals which
saved this country from dissolution
in the perilous days of 81 is not re-
garded in a sacred light by 40 per
cent of our populace. / say this
to the shame Of this minority. 1t
is dissertation carried to the eX-
treme, and it breeds contempt for
the very patriotism for which many

preme sacrifices.
However, I predict that the day
is not far distant when all Amer:-
cans will voluntarily cease this
desecra ton and will pause in the
performance of their daily pursuits
and give deep thought to the
heroic deeds performed by both
the soldiers Of the Union army and
those who fought for the Confed-
eracy and to the memory of other
brave men who fought for the in
terests of this country in other
wars.
ut seems that reverence for
those who sacrificed their all in
battle Is a lost virtue with hundreds
Of persons so far as Memorial Day
is concerned. Sports generally are
the order Of the day. l fail to see
where it would work a hardship
upon anyone to plan their picnick
ing parties, or to witness a baseball
game or attend other similar amuse-
ments for other days than Memorial
Day.
eve are not discouraged, how
ever. Tho organization with which
| am affiliated has just started to
fight. Memorial Day must and will
be purged Of its commercialism."
Miss Riley also has held several
other executive positions in the or
ganization.

GLACIAL PERIOD

PROFESSOR
SCOTS at Idea Cold Spring l.
Forerunner of New Ad-

BY JACK CEJNAR,
international News Service.

CHICAGO, May 29.-Another gil
cial period is not coming, at least
not just yet, but if it ever comes
mankind is helpless to avert 1t
Prof. u. s. Grant, head of thf
photography department, North
western University, declared today
when informed by International
News Service that Captain McDon
aid, Arctic explorer was leaving fo'
the North Pole June 16, to discover
whether or not another glacial period
was on the way.
''It has been suggested that we
might possibly be in an inter
glacial period" Prof. Grant said.
''but no one is bold enough to pre-
dict that another glacial period is
coming"
"It is a known fact" Prof
Grant said, that there were ages
during the glacial periods, perhaps
lasting thousands of years, when
ice fields retreated to the North
and warmer climates reigned. This
has been proved by finding evil

if it were humanity possible, to de-
fleet the cold Arctic current, and
enable the warm gulf stream to

Grant, mitigate the rigors Of

Prof. Grant scoffed at the idea
that the present cold spring could
have any connection with return
ing glacial period.

Held west of town yesterday.
A number of the citizens drove out
just after dark to get closeup view
OF the new equipment while many
others witnessed the play of the light
from their homes in town.
Beginning with Cheyenne on the
west, which is we'll equipped for reg
ular night landing, lights have been
installed, at Dix, Sidney, Chappell and
Big Springs for emergency landing
and to guide ships that fly at night.
Today, employees of the postal de-
partment are installing light at
Paxton, which will be the only one
between Ogallala and North Platte.
The latter named place has a much
stronger light, the rays from which
can be seen from Ogallala.
To make the route safe for night

CORN Is LEADING CROP IN
POINf OF ACREAGE IN STATE

Sine 1921 corn has been grown on
more @. 1rCio firms than any other
crop, our n 1928 it IS for the first
TINE TIL states leading crop in point
iO1 acreage. Heretofore this distinc-
tion had been held for several years
by wlnter wheat, the acreage OF which
surpassed that OF corn in 1922 by ap-
| mproxlately 100000 acres. Reports
of county assessors to the State In
migratlon Department this year, how
ever, Sow that there is close to 3OO,-
600 acres more land GeOvted to corn
in Colorado than to winter wheat.
The combined acreage of winter
and spring wheat in the state still is
create than the corn acreage, but
the number of farmers growing corn
Is greater than the number of farms
growing both winter and spring
wheat. In 1922 there were 28.213
farms in the state reporting corn,
while the number reporting wheat
was but 26,275. Though figures are
not yet complete, it is evident from
reports now in that the excess of corn
growers over wheat growers in the
state this year is considerably larger
than 1t was in 1922.
Corn has been growing rapidly in
popularity in Colorado for the past
ten years, butts its sudden elevation to
first rank in acreage this year is
partly due to climate conditions.
Much of the winter wheat planted last
fall did not come up or was so severely
damaged by the winter drought that
it was not considered worth saving
Tor harvest. Much of this wheat land
was plowed and planted to corn in the
spring. The late spring season was
especially favorable for the planting
OF corn and many farmers on that
account further increased their corn
acreage.
In eastern Colorado, where both
corn and wheat are most extensively
grown, the number of farms report
ing corn is considerably larger than
the number reporting wheat. In Phil
lips county, for example, 667 out of
7lO farms reported have corn, while
only 5s7 have wheat. In Logan
county, which for many years has
been among the states leading wheat
counties, 1887 out of total of 2,216
farms report corn, while only 1,434
report wheat.
But the growing of corn is not con-
fined to eastern Colorado. Western
slope counties are increasing their
corn acreage each. year and in the
past few years the crop has been in
troduced in limited way in the San
Luis valley and some of the higher
altitude districts. 1t is being tried
out principally for silage in these dis
sricts and experiments in the San Luis
valley show that it can be natured to
the silage stage there with reason
able degree of certainty. In 1922
corn was grown in 48 of the 63 Colo
RADIO counties and this year it is being
grown in at least so counties.

THE AGEING PENITANT"

Days of my innocence, when sin
Unfelt my faults-1 wandered wild.
Let one come back while again,
A little while as was to child.
Bring back my day of innocence,
Forget of me, my sin l pray.
Old is my hour, Fer l go hence
Give me my restful, peaceful day.
Help me be ready, willing now
To answer calls that come from Thee.
While troubles come, l know not how,
And sorrows fall, my shares to me.
l know notw hat Thy word may be-
"Of danger and distress" my lot
But this know: Thy call to me,
If obey Pm not forgot.
Spare me again some youthful Joy,
When sinlessly, worked or played.
When I was named Mother Boy,
And lived the truth of all she said.
Let me be faithful to my trust,
The little balance of my day.
My Eleventh hour lived as the just
l give to Thee. Help me: pray.
Oh. help me stand, despite hard fate
A living truth before the fire.
For wavering mind, Thine own create,
Lift lowest thoughts to realms higher,
Repent me, and confess my wrong;
My opening heart. yet open more.
Turn meaning cry to morning song
Bring back some joy of days of yore.

THE BURNETT PLAN FOR A
FARMERS NATIONAL MAR
KETING ASSOCIATION
B. E. F. Burnett

Farmers organize yourselves like
this: You don't have to wait for
some outsider to come in and take
your money for the job. Do it your
selves.
Get busy at once. Form yourselves
into units of about twenty adjoining
farmers each. That's a good work
able number, and if you have too
many in your unit it will make it
clumsy with too many differing opin-
ions to function as we'll as with a
smaller number of members per unit.
Elect your unit a president. secretary
and treasurer, good, reliable, snappy
men. Leave the business of your unit
in their hands, except when you are
called upon to vote on some PROPOSE
ton. Always abide by a majority
vote of members present and don't
muss the meeting by chewing the
rag. That will disrupt any organiza-
ton.
When your original units have been
formed in sufficient numbers have
your unit officers meet with the other
init officers and select state officers.
Then let the state officers chose the
National officers. Everyone of you
20 after this matter seriously. Make
YOUR organization spread like rotten
potato in a bin, until it permeates
every corner of the country. and in
six months the present middle-men
will be trying very hard to get along
with you and keep your good will.
All this talk of cooperative market
ing. price fixing and control, in your
present unorganized condition is pure
political bunk. Before you can con-
troll your price, you must be able to
control your commodity. and before
you can control your commodity you
must have a solid national organiza-
ton so that you can hold or turn
loose any commodity as the demand
will absorb it, withoutd epressing the
market.
Your first necessity is a 100 per
cent complete national organization.
Forget what you are going to do after
YOU are organized, and get yourselves
organized. Then it will be time to
plan your future work. such as orderly
distribution, fair price dictation: ware
housing, financing, etc, etc.
The main reason that farmers or
ganization have heretofore been large
y fizzle is because they have not
been carried forward along any def
mite plan. A few farmers from here
and there have Joined the Grange.
Farmers Union and other bodies, but
no effort has been made to create a
solid farm by farm, ranch by ranch
organization. This you must do in
orde rto be successful.
This Is Very Important
Just because you do not like some
Of your neighbors, don't refuse to or
ganize and work with them. Forget
the little personal things and work
together earnestly for your common
good, and the big success Of the big
idea. Then you can fix your own
prices and get your Just share of the
money the consumer pays for the pro-
duce you have raised
Start talking and doing it today and
tonight. Don't rest until you have
put the machinery in motion in your
community. You are already twenty
five to fifty years behind big business
combinations. That is the reason
YOUR prices slumped so much worse
than theirs after the war.
