Used Specific recommendations
for farm relief when Congress
meets"
The President does not believe that
the only relief for a farmer is to sit
around and "let nature take its
course" which means letting rail-
roads, jobbers, wholesalers and food
stuff gamblers get the profit while
the farmer plows, milks the COW and
carries the mortgage.
A NATION which finds it easy to
"A help railroads out of trouble by
increasing rates and compelling the
public to pay ought to help farmers,
without whom oil railroads would go
bankrupt, and cities into starvation.
THE President has lived on farm.
= As boy he walked through the
mud of barnyard in rubber boots by
the light of lantern long before day

MISS JACQUELINE ROGERS.
AVA aged %, confesses that she stole
"about one automobile a week" to
support her friend, Mr.. Kenyon, also
%. She stole the cars, he sold them,
and the lady, very modern, says, "it's
about all that boob was good for. He
was no use in getting them"
Nevertheless, the young lady liked
him, and, needless to say, he blames
her. So Adam blamed Eve when
Eve stole the apple before the days
of automobiles. He ate it, and Eve
probably would have said, "that's
about all that boob was good for"
using, of course, the word "schle-
miel," Yiddish equivalent for boob"

GENERAL CHARTERS, former

British army, tells this interesting
story.
He received pictures of a train.
One car was loaded with bodies Of
dead soldiers being drawn away
from the battlefield. Another was
filled with the bodies of dead cavalry
horses. On the carload Of dead
horses was sign saying that the
carcasses were to be boiled down for
soap fat.
General Charters says he changed
the sign from the carload Of dead
horses to the carload Of dead soldiers,
circulated the photographs all over
the world to arouse hatred against
Germany.
The photograph was sent to China,
where the "worship Of ancestors"
would make the propaganda story
about boiling down soldiers bodies
for soap fat" particularly horrible.
In that interesting way interna-
tional hatred was built up.
