Ind Of Drought Predicted

Kansas City. Aug. Il CUP) - End of the drought was predicted in the southwest today, and farmers of the grain belt surveyed parched and Withered crops with a view toward saving what they could from the rayages Of the sun.
 Directing their interest toward Washington and the efforts of the federal government to provide drought relief, grain raisers resigned themselves to a bad crop year, pre- pared to salvage what they could and borrow enough money to carry them through the winter.
 AS individuals. farmers showed little interest in the monthly govern ment crop report due today aside from the effect it might have on grain prices. Each could look out over his acres and calculate how much the long rainless weeks had cost him. His only consolation lay in slowly rising grain prices.
 In many sections of the grain belt especially Kansas and Oklahoma the drought had cut in half the production of grain sorghum crops which many farmers had hoped would bring partial compensation for loss through low wheat prices.
 During the month and half of severe drought in Kansas, the corn crop deteriovated at the rate of L. 50o,on0 bushels per day, according 10 estimates by agricultural experts.

WHENEVER a President speaks at GETTYSBURG.

Personal administration on any considerable scale is
impossible"
Ramsay Macdonald an individual doubtless
would like to see every bateship and cruiser in the
world at the bottom of the ocean. Ramsay Mac
Donald the British premier, could not hold Office for
a day if he repudated the traditional British dogma
Of Britain's dependence upon sea-power.
No doubt Ramsay Macdonald, the internationalist,
has warm personal sympathy with Gandhi. But
as prime minister he can not openly sanction serious
threats at India, the pivot of the British empire His
bureaucracy sees to that.
Indeed, Ramsay Macdonald could not safely go so
dor to a major foreign country. He must follow the
advice Of the diplomatic service and pick member
of the bureaucracy o., somebody with experience in
this field.
1t was suggested that he appoint Gilbert Murray
as ambassador to the United States. Probably he
wanted to do So but could not defy precedent or
the guidance of the bureaucracy in the diplomatic
service.
For Ramsay Macdonald, the pacifst to approve
disarmament upward; for Ramsay Macdonald, the
anti-imperialst, to Jail Gandhi indeed would be
scandaous, if such acts could be held to represent
his personal choice and decision.
For Ramsay Macdonald, the British prime min
ister to do these things is only to indicate that he
honors the political traditions and administrative
procedure of his country. They show that he has a
realistic sense of the necessity Of holding Office if he
desires use the labor party force for progress
in England and the world.

Right Posture May Avert Rheumatism

Indeed, because of the fatigue
which is so commonly manifested
by these people, he insists there
should be periods of rest twice a day,
one in the middle of the morning
and one in the middle of the after
noon, of about one and half hours
each, during which time the patient
should lie nearly fiat and during
which he should rest completely.
Among certain forms of treatment
which have particular value for the
rheumatic are massage, the appli-
cation of heat and the use of sun
light.
Massage can be given properly
only by trained masseur. Light
rubbing can be carried out by any
one, particularly if some instruc-
ton is had from a masseur. The
physician or the trained masseur
knows enough to avoid motion to
in1ame joints.
DR.. Pemberton mentions particu-
larly the value of heat applied to
the painful portions and light mas
sage to the points of the body there
after.

Tariff Logic

e,.1 .e,,ators CONTEMPLATE voting for the billion
s,,s tariff hill even though they know it will be dis
astrous for the country That sounds Impossible nuC
# is true And this contradictory position is being as
surned by some senators who have been sincere ana
conscientious legislators
The explanation, from their point OF view, is not
as far-fetched as it appears to the public
Their argument, briefly is this:
we think the present tariff law is high enough.
Under it the country in general and manufacturing
industries in particular achieved for eight years an
unprecedented plane of prosperity. Therefore we
would like to let well enough alone.
But the Orrndy-Smoot crowd did not agree they
set out-n defiance Of all campaign pedges-to grao
all thew could get in higher than-hgh protection
ist bill Faced with this situation we were forced IN
duty TO our own constituents to seek higher rates
for industries of our states Having done So we no"
can not vote against the bill consistently
Up to a certain point it is not difficult to follow
their argument Their constituents will not blame
them for trying to help local industries when indus
tries of other states were snatching higher rates
But what has that to do with casting final vote
for bill which will injure the country at large ana
every individual state? BY the compromise OF grab
bling with the Grundy- snoot crowd, these senator's
have assured that their states will receive minor
compensation if the worst comes to worst and the
prosperity killing bill passes.
Certainly that leaves them in position now to
vote against the bill as whole for the very good rea-
son that their states though gaining little would
lose much more if the bill became law.
Far from being inconsistent that is the only con-
sistent thing to do.
What they have done. in effect, is to take out III
tie insurance in time of danger. The next STEP II
they are intelligent men, is not to commit suicide Tor
their state to collect inadequate insurance The only
sensible thing to do is to try to remove the dan
ger altogether by voting against the menacing bill
