1T is gratifying to note that this
increased volume has been shown
by stores in I'll sections Cf the
country. Since retail prices had not
yet been advanced by our Company
during May, but were actually low
er on the whole than those exist
ing a year ago, the increased sales
reflect definite and marked in
crease in customer buying. Reports
from our stores indicate that peo-
ple are actually feeling better and
during May were replerishirg, i'll

TREASON TO SHOW

out this yelp:
"Anyone who attempts to take
advantage of the farmers de-
pressed condition, melting him to
riot, and talks on the street cor
ner to agitate unemployed laborers
is a traitor ard deserves to be
treated as such" D
In pbain United States, this man
who is evidently a Roosevelt
mouth piece, is announcing that it
is treason for the victims of
Roosevelt's cruel planned scare
ity" program-the impoverished
farmers and the unemployed Ia
borers--to discuss their plight "on
the street corners" They are
traitors if they gather to try to
find a way out to decent standards
of living. He is announcing that,
as far as they are concerned, the
first paragraph of the Declaration
OF Independence and the first
amendment to the U. S. Constitu-
ton are null and void. Both of
these documents can be feund in
our school histories-at least in
the older ones. An examination of
