The Farm Relief Issue

The big issue raised at Kansas City to beat Hoover
robbed of much of its vitality by none other than
nature herself
The issue was farm relief.
The politicians finally compromised on a platform
declaration designed to please both McNary augen-
ties and those opposed to the McNary- -Haugen meas
ure. 1t goes far possible toward Endorsement
in principle of the equalization fee, but does not refer
to that device by
President Coolidge and even Secretary Mellon are
said to be satisfied. So are most Of the farm belt
leaders. Banker Dawes, Lawyer Lowden and Boss
Watson cung to their issue to the last ditch but their
fight hopeless.
In the meantime there was no great evidence in
the convention city that the aegedy enraged farmers
were anywhere near as enraged as they had been
reported be by the advance agents of the political
group that sought to stop Hoover.
Many of the farmers marked off the whole uproar
political maneuvering which to large extent it
was, despite the reality of the farm problem itself.
And then nature, in a bountful spring stepped in
and almost simultaneously with the start of the con-
vention was the report that Kansas would harvest
wheat crop of 1600O0OOO bushels and that the whole
wheat belt looked good From all up and down the
central valleys came bumper crop predictions.
While the politicians tnkered with the platform,
fat cattle selling in the stock yards at Kansas
City for $40 10 SIS a hundred, depending quality
and supply. Hogs brought around $1Of and lambs
from SIS to SO hundred. Corn went at around
dollar bushel, wheat at dollar and a half.
The inherent justice of many of the complaints
from the farmers of course, not be denied. Farm
ers have been and are at a disadvantage compared
with industry and other groups which given spe
cia tariff protection But it is we'll that the politi
clans were not able to use the farm relief issue to
sway the decision Of the national convention.
Furthermore, this newspaper believes that time
will show that Herbert Hoover will bring forth more
practical solution than would have been evolved by
any of those politicians who in the name Of the
farmer sought to beat Hoover.

TRACY
SAYS:
"CheGp Talk More Than
Anything Else Has Pro-
duced a Lack of Faith in
What Politicians Sdy."

CHICAGO, June 13-With Penn
sylvania, Massachusetts,, New Jersey
and Idaho in line and Herbert
Hover's nomination virtually as
sured, the Kansas City story loses
large part Of the suspense element.
Indeed, there is little left to worry
about except the platform, and only
onf .ank of that
outside of farm relief, the pro-
gram of the Republican party is a
cut and dried affair. 1t will open,
of course, with the usual pointing
with pride" indorse the protective
tariff, demand law enforcement,
praise the present administration,
claim to have saved the taxpayers
money, as well as the country, and
take all the credit for such
prosperity as the American people
are enjoying.
When all that is said and done,
however, the farmer still remains to
be placated and in this particular
instance, it will require something
more than the ordinary brand of lip
music.
A vice presidential candidate who
sympathizes with the farmers plight
and aspirations might help, and is,
no doubt, being given due considera-
ton by those running the show.

Bows HeIped Radio

BY way of praising the Republican
administration, Fess alluded to
radio. 1t was his object, of course,
to convey the impression of how
the radio industry has flourished
and how the millions of listeners-in
had benefited from such regula-
tions as the Government has in
stituted. Those conferences and
regulations have helped, no doubt,
but they have not solved the
problem by any means.
What the radio industry owes the
Government is still small by COM
pariSon with what it owes the Amer
lean boy, not to mention the in
ventors, promoters and developers
who have risked so much to put it
on its feet.
Radio, like most human enter
prises, not only came into existence,
but has been built up by individual
initiative, personal effort and pri-
vate capital.
The part the Government has
undertaken is to regulate traffic in
the interest of fair play and public
convenience.

TALL and stately and conspicu-
i Gus in the spring for its hand
some tulip shaped orange and yell
low flowers, the tulip tree is one OF
the beauties of the eastern forests,
Because its leaves flutter like those
of the popla1S. it is sometimes
called yellow poplar. The Indians
so habitualy made their dugout ca
noes of its trunk that the early
settlers of the west called it canoe
wood.
The tulip tree grows TO magnifl-
cent size in the forest, often at
tanning a height of 100 feet.
The flowers are large and bril-
liant. In color they are greenish
yellow with dashes of red and Or
ange and their resemblance to
tulip is very marked.
Because of its size and compare
tive freedom from defects planks
sixty inches or even more in width
may be manufactured from the tu-
lip tree.
The wood works well, does not
split easily when nailed, and holds
paint exceptionally we'll.
It is used largely for planning mill
products, including sash, doors, fin
ish and siding and for furniture,
boxes and veneer. 1t is particularly
suitable for products that are to be
painted or enameled.
The large, clear round logs are
we'll adapted to the manufacture Of
rotary veneer, which is used extern
sively in built up panels for finish,
furniture, piano cases and various
forms of cabinet wood.
The stand of tulip trees has been
roughly estimated at nine and
three-fourths billion board feet, Of
which probably rs per cent is in the
States of West Virginia, North Ca

the present stand is virgin timber

queenj J-Jackj A-any card lower
than 10)
THERE should be no "bueSboo"
Il about bidding four-card suits
if judiciously handled Doing so
furnishes most valuable informa-
ton, and failure to bid it may re-
suit in throwing away a game-going
hand.
For those who never bid a four
card suit, and ultra a-conservative
players, as a flyer" I would sug..
gest that when holding as good as
A K @ x x or A @ 10 x or K @ 10
x in major suit with an outside
A they need have no hesitation
about bidding that suit initially.
OF greater necessity, however, is
to bid any sound four card minor
suit, as it may encourage a better
ment bid, or develop such additional
information as will lead to a game
going declaration.
1t is not sufficient that the open
ing bid shall guarantee the
minimum requirements for an
original bid.
1t also should be so made that
partners will interpret it correctly
and with a view to encouraging
partner to improve the bid if pos
sible.
The opening bid should furnish
the maximum amount of informa-
ton. If partner can mirror your
hand, assistance can more readily
be given to you.
Rigidity in the declarer or in the
opening bid has no place at the
bridge-table.
The battle cry Of every opening
bid should be, 1--WE want camel"
Failure to make game is almost
waste of time.
To make game, nine tricks are
required at no trump. ten tricks in
a major suit and eleven tricks in
a minor suit.
The difficulty of making game in
a minor suit is obvious, as it allows
for only two losing tricks.
There are many who prefer play
ing the game at no trump to doing
so in major suit.
They forget, however, that it is
worth at least one more trick to
play the game in suit, as there
is the possibility of ruf1ng one of
the losers, which cannot be accom-
plished at no trump.
At no trump you cannot make
more than the longest number of
cards in either hand.
Before bidding, examine your
cards to see whether you have Cd
sound major suit bid, (2) a no
trumper, or 90 a minor suit bid,
and give them preference in this
order.
Where one of two bids is possible.
doubt may arise in the choice of
the bid, and this is where the ex-
pert recognizes the age bidding on
the part Of the best declaration that
will encourage partner.
Players often complain that they
do not hold good cards, but very
often when they do hold them they
do not make the most of them.

Too Much Hokum

The same loose talk that charac-
terizes our campaigns finds its way
into our keynote speeches and party
platforms. There is obvious exag-
geration all along the line and just
as obvious an avoidance of the
sober discussion Of important ques-
tionS.
Senator Fess said exactly what
was expected of him, but what did
he say that was worth repeating.
or remembering? What did his key
note speech amount to, except a pep
talk such as might have been de-
livered before a Rotary club or a
craftsmanship convention. Not that
1t was a bad speech or lacked a GER
tain degree Of polish and refine
ment, but that it was too saturated
with political hokum to be of any
usefulness.

The World Moves

Radio, more than anything else,
will make the political conventions
OF this year memorable.
The fact that thirty or forty mil
ion people are able to hear the pro-
ceedings as they take place, to fol-
low the speeches word by word, to
get the quality and infection of
each voice, represents a milestone
not only in the history of this Ma
ton, but in that Of the world.
Long after men have forgotten
what was done at Kansas City or
will be done at Houston, they will
marvel at how verbal news Of it was
carried all over the United States.
Long after they have forgotten what
Fess said to the Republicans or
what Claude Bowers will say to the
Democrats, they will read how Cen
eral Mobile made his misfortunes
known amid the ice fields of the
arctic.
