OUR OWN FAMILY ALBUM

We didn't have the heart to char
acterize another portrait from our
family album in the last issue. We
have been "bawled out" in a savage
manner by Aunt Matilda because we
"disgraced the family We had
taken her name off the mailing list
while "0ur Own Family Album" ar
tieles We're being published, but some
tattle-tale had to send her the papers
And she wrote us the following let
ter:
"Some male member of the family
ought to cowhide youl The very idea
of writing like you did about your
own flesh and blood! Its enough
to make your folks turn over in their
graves! And you needn't think just
because you are long ways from
home that somebody can't get to you!
Thank God there's still little pride
left in some of us!
why don't you write something
about yourself? Why don't you
tell them about the time when you
first went to school and didn't know
enough to hold up your hand when
You had to so out? Why don't you
tell them what happened then--how
! all the other children snickered ?
Why don't you tell them? Go on
and tell them. and leave them that's

VITAL QUESTIONS
DISCUSSED BY
LEADING EDITORS +
OF THE COUNTRY
YET SHE WANTS RECOGNITION


The Russian people have not
enough food, SO have to depend on
the charity of other nations. The shoe
and clothing factories cannot be OPP
Grated and no manufacturing of any
kind is flourishing. Still the soviet,
in a situation so appalling and di-
stressing, votes four new factories
for the vile and unspeakable Trotsky.
These new factories are to be devot-
ed, not to the manufacture of shoes
or clothing; not to making agricult-
ural machinery; or % any other pur-
pose of peace or prosperity. They
are to be given over to grinding out
implements of war and the munitions
of war. Do you wonder that Russia
is constantly slipping backward, and
that her people are unhappy and I'M
fed? FIT. Wayne News-Sentinel.
