Being a Real Producer
BY BRUCE BARTON.

From that day to this, whom
ever man has grown weary of
the complexities of life, whenever
his spirit has been distraught
and sore, he has turned back to
the land, and, with it's soil on
his fingers and it's odor in his
nostriIs, has found healing and
calm.
II you are the kind of man who
thinks at all, you must have Pc

on you that your job is a very
artificial thing, not at all essen

body else creates. The farmer

When that feeling comes over
you take a spade and go into
your back yard and dig and plant
something. Harvest time will
come, and you can stand with
your throat barred and shout de.

General Builds Own Road

Because there were no highways over
which he could drive his new automo-
bile, Tsao Chitsun, as governor of the
province of Kweicho, China, started an
extensive bodybuilding program. With
the aid of his soldiers and about $4,000
civilians. he constructed macadamized
road extending about $50 miles north
ward from the capital of Kwelyang.

thing out Of the ground?
- - Have you with your
own hands planted seed,
watered it, tended it up through
infancy to full growth, and
finally sat down at your table

In these days of the infinite
division of labor, when so many
Of us merely live off each other,
there are millions of men and
women who are born and die
without ever once tasting that
transforming experience.
However much Of books and

such people die uneducated.

at work on His world.
Every man and woman who
can have access to a little piece

for the sake of thrift alone, but
for the development of his or
her own character.
God was the first gardener. He

A new version of AUD Lang Syne, -
In the handwriting of Robert Burns, has
been received by the Library of Con-
gress as a gift from Charles S. Hamlin
of the Federal Reserve Board.
1t apparently is parody of one OF
the Scotch poets best known songs,
written by the author himself as joke
after the original song had become
popular.
The version reads:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never thought upon,
Let's hae waught O. Malaga
For aud lang syne.
Chorus.
For auld lang syne, my 10,
For auld lang syne,
Let's hae a Waught o. Malaga
For auld lang syne
And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup,
And surely I'll be mine,
And We'll take cup o. kindness yet
For aud lang syne.

The library has sorted out its store
of manuscripts Of celebrated authors fo1

He was not the politician and conse-
quently cared little for the occasionally
disquieting advices of veterans of the
political game. He had waged a kind
of political battle new to the veteran
spellbinders, but tried and proven by
him in other fields and on numerous oc-
casions. If he lost he could put the
blame on no one but himself.
1t had been a long and determined
fight, and there were sagging muscles
under the nominees eyes as he mingled
with his guests to await the vindication
of his peculiar political processes. That
they would stand the test, if properly
carried out to the end, he had not a
shadow of doubt. His only fear was
that his own optimism might react
among his workers to cause a let-up in
their efforts through overconfidence.
He warned them that their work was
not completed until the ballots were
in the box.

Y VICTORY rests easily upon the

" brow of Americas master of
emergencies, Herbert Clark
Hoover.
The Fates, and their inseparable
brother, Opportunity, have dealt most
kindly with this living example OF
American individualism.
They have placed upon his cool, un-
wavering head the coveted crown of
triumph more times than he can re-
member. He is accustomed to victory.
But never has he become accustomed,
through all his astounding record of
successful achievements, to the fanfare
and acclaim that an imprisoned world
is wont to accord to champions.

victory-be that victory the saving of
million lives or the conquest of the
Presidency-is, to all outward appear

This extraordinary exterior reserve
masks, however, an intensely human,
oft-misunderstood inner, nature that
makes itself apparent only to those
privileged to know him well-a nature
that exercises strangely magnetic grip
on all of his associates. 1t is a grip

WOMEN AMONG
WINNERS AT
RACE MEET
Several Fair and Success
full Sportswomen Have
Capital Connections

Washington women. or rather
women with Washington connec-
tions. are taking prominent part
in the racing at Havre de Grace.
There are several who have
numerous entries from their own

has brought down a string of
thoroughbreds from her stables
near Middleburg. Va.
Mrs. Hit spends most of her
time on her estate in Virginia,
where she gives close attention
to the breeding and training of
her horses. There was a time,
however. when she was a belle
in the Capital-about two decades
ago when she was a Senatorial
bud, her father, the late Senator
Stephen B. Elkins, then repre-.
senting West Virginia in the
upper house.
Her mother, Mrs. Elkins. still
maintains her home here on X
Street.
There is also a Washington con-
nection through her husband, who
is a brother of r.. S. Reynolds
Hit.
Other women having winners at
Hayre de Grace are Mrs. Mar
garet Emerson Baker and Mrs.
Payne Whitney. The former is
the wife of Ray Baker. sometime
Director of the Mint, who makes
his home here during the winter.

Jimmie" Wadsworth. jr., wife Of
former Senator Wadswortln Of
New York, who have retained their
home here since the Iatter's de-
feat for reelection to the Senate
a few years ago.
Mrs. Baker, has string of 20

ages represented. The stable of
Mrs. Whitney is not strong in
