Who Is This Roosevelt?
(From the New York Daily Mirror

Franklin Delano Roosevelt cultur-
ed, highly educated, big in mind and
stature-and no stranger to the White
House. He's been close to FIVE Presi-
dents, and Ike knows the kind of job
the Presidency is.
He first stepped inside the white
House when he was five years old. He
went with his father to see President
Cleveland. The President-in a spirit
of kindliness-sa he wished the little
boy would never be President because
there were too many agonies attached
to the job.
But Roosevelt isn't afraid of the
woes of the office. And there are more
of them today probably than at any
other time in the country's history.
He is so, has eyes blue as the sea
which he has always loved. He wanted
to go to Annapolis. When he was ID
he sailed little boat from New York
to Halifax, and when he wanted rest
after his nomination to the Presi-
dency he and his boys went on a sail
ing trip. Models of boats and pictures
of them decorate his home and office.
Has always been a great swimmer.
Had tutor during grade school
years. Graduated from Harvard and
Columbia Law School, and has been
abroad number of times. Studied in
Germany and Switzerland.
He first met Anna Eleanor Roose-
velt-who became his wife in 1905
when she was a year and half old.

BURNING CORN

The fact that is being used as fuel in place of
coal in number of rural communities throughout the corn
belt has touched off another controversy in the Middle
West Hundreds of individual families have adopted the

smaller towns.
1t is claimed that 40 bushels of will give the
same amount of heat units a ton of COAL At zoe
bushel fuel would be worth eight dollars ton
Good eastern coal costs than that per ton delivered
TO the corn belt home though grade of western
coal doesn't cost much Opponents of the burn corn"
idea claim therefore, that there really saving COST
that burning corn will only to put miners out
of work and further aggravate the unemployment situation
They argue that it's lot of bother keeping corn fire
going and that it just isn't morally right destroy food
when there are so hungry people in the country
On the other hand advocates of corn heat claim that
at the present price of is cheaper than coal heat
that burning corn will reduce the surplus and thus tend
to increase prices and that it is the only way farmers have
OF getting rid of the crop without depressing the market
You can find division of sentiment subject right
