IS HEROISM so RARE?

This to be age Of heroes.
The arpane has provided outlet fo- the spirits
Of the adventurous Not in years have there been
many demonstrations Of the glory that can be won by
man who is contemptuous Of death. Snug and we'll
padded. we making cult of bravery, and
ward daring reward other virtue.
Yet, after ALL not all bravery is spectacular There
countless thousands of heroes who never will see
their names in the paper; whole armies Of men who
fight overwhelming odds all their lives and fall at the
end, without ever hearing a wave of applause And
the record they leave is just inspiring any tale Of
. lone flight across storm-swept ocean.
You meet these every day of your life.
There is, for instance, the oopshouldered rather
eek-lookng who lives in the flat over the drug
store down at the He is bookkeeper and has
been one for Is years. His income is quite enough
to meet tic needs Of himself his wife and their three
children. It has been hard struggle. He has had to
his carly dreams fade and vanish while he plugged
away at the task Of bringing up family He has had
to live wit. the knowledge that he is failures has had
to realize that. after ALL he doesn't amount to much
but through it all he has complained or grown
bitter He walks to and from his work. and lunches on
milk and crackers, that the children have pre-
sentable clothes and then he goes without lunch
for few days that he buy his wife cheap box
Of candy.
That man is hero. His Odyssey is uneventful and
drab, but it is fine Lndbergs Incompetent and
lacking in force, he is nevertheless living proof of the
divinity that dwes in human clay. Born defeat he
has never given up the fight.
He was chosen at random. There are myriads like
him-men who plod along, day after day, always
pnched for money always compelled to make petty
sacrifices always bound by the chains Of penury and
disappointment, but always fighting. Some day, when
we have finished building statues to our aviators we
might build one for these They deserve it. In
their way they have demonstrated the nobility Of
humanity.

THE McNARY.HAUGEN PLAN is OUT
minneapolis Journal)

MINNEAPOLIS
The education Of Governor Smith is making pro-
gress. When, soon after his nomination at Houston,
he was asked to state his position farm relief, he
frankly admitted that he knew little about it. But
he promised in the event of his election, to call
gether commission Of experts to agree on plan
satisfactory to agriculture.
This seemed to imply that the McNary-Haugen plan
was out and some other plan must be devised. Such
was also the implication Of the Houston plank
if the Houston Convention accepted the McNary;
aG syernor smitS could and would sign such bill
Mr.. Coolidge twice vetoed, why not plainly say SO!
But Governor Smiths proposal to start all over
again didn't exactly strike twelve with the
farm relievers 1t gave them no plausible OASIS 1or
advising Republican farmers to bolt Hoover.
Chairman Raskob then took hand. He announced
that after study of the McNary- Haugen Plan. ne
mated that the Democratic candidate would in due
time make clear declaration. George N feek, OF
Illinois, head Of the Corn Belt Committee was sent Tor
He went to New York to give Governor Smith lessons
in farm relief economics. And his pupil then came
out with this declaration:
Control Of the sale of agricultural SURPLUS is
recognized in platform as an essential
need. its cost to be imposed on the unit to De
benefited. That principle is fixed in our plat
form, which stand. Only the detail OF It's
accomplishment remains.
This seemed to Mr.. Peek ground enough to stand
on and he announced himself for Smith. But the
on his attitude and he thereupon declared that the
New York World had accurately stated his position IN
these four propositions:
That the Democratic Party is committed to
the principle of controlling the sale Of agricul-
tural SURPRISES, the cost to be borne by the
group benefited
That the plan for applying this principle
contained in the McNary- Haugen Bill is not
acceptable to him.
That he has no plan of his own for carrying
out that principle.
That he promises after election to work out
such plan.
So the McNary-Haugen Bill, twice vetoed, turned
down by the Kansas City Convention, and now rejected
by the candidate named by the Houston Convention is
out. It is not even an issue.
Mr.. Peek who is accused of being Democrat any
way, feels that Governor Smith, If elected, will
"solve the farm problem with intellectual honesty"
On the other hand Senator McNary, co-author OF
the discarded BILL stands firmly by Mr. Hoover the
best fitted to find and effectuate sound solution
1t only remains for the farmer citizen to make his
choice between Governor Smith, whose knowledge OF
the problem is fragmentary and superficial and whose
natural sympathies all with the Eastern consumer
and Mr.. Hoover, who has solved knottier economic
problems with brilliant success and who in the post
war economic crisis saved the day for the American
farmer.

you please print in your interesting
column what will remove q mole ?
Also, what causes little white spots
to form on NV hands? Will they
spread? What will cure those I
now have? Are they symptoms Of
anything serious 2"
Answer: / would advise you to
consult physician who is skilled in
using the high frequency spark or
the electric needle for the removal of
the mole. The white spots on your
hands are caused by some form Of
acidosis by which the skin pigment
is destroyed. They will not spread
if you correct your diet and use other
hygiene measures for improving
your general health.

Answer: You may be perfectly
healthy and yet only weigh as much
as you do. However, the average thin
woman of your type is usually unable
to put on weight because Of a sys-
temic poisoning which she gets from
sluggish colon. One of this type
usually has adhesions holding these
organs down. When the adhesions
are broken loose by manipulative
treatment the organs may be
brought back to normal position
through exercising. The patient will
then soon begin to gain weight with
out any stuffing diet.
