Plan Offered TO Rout
Old Man Depression

The Spokesman has received the fol-
lowing interesting communication
which it is passing on for the edifl-
cation of it's readers:
white Bluffs, Wash.
Jan'y 9, 1888
Editor, Publisher and Proprietor,
The Great Family Journal,
City,-not Town,
Your Honor:
'tIt is your duty, in the interest of
your beloved subscribers, to suggest, adj
wise, insist, instruct and demand that
all firms doing business in White Bluffs
adopt the prescription attached of DR..
Alexander Barclay, prominent ply
sician of Occur D'Alene, Idaho, that
he prescribed for all Of his patrons,
January l, 1888, and give all of their
patrons full dose of the same UNI
adulterated dope.
when your orders have been obeyed,
Old Man Depression will sail away,
your subscribers will crown you Mon
arch of All You Survey, your rights
there will be none to dispute from
White Bluffs clear over to the sea.
You will be lord of the fowl and the
brute.
Sincerely, your poverty stricken,
CANON"
And the following is the clipping
attached to the communication:
COUER D'ALENE, Idaho, Dec go
DIR. Alexander Barclay, prominent
physician, who has practiced here near
ly 16 years, today announced that he
will erase every charge on his books
of residents of Occur d'Alene and this
vicinity the first of the year.
The total, he said, is considerably
in excess of 100000, virtually all of
which is owed by farmers, clerks and
working people.
A statement by Dr. Barclay reads,
in part:
I'VE have passed the third year of
the depression and search as will,
l can not see single sign ahead
which gives any honest promise of
good times to come in the near flu
ture.
with farmers losing their homes,
clerks taking deep cuts in their SAL
aries or losing their jobs and the
laborers in the mills working but two
or three days week at $3.50 day,
for a few months (perhaps) in the
year, how can any one expect them to
be able to pay their doctor for sick
ness when they can hardly earn
enough for food, clothes and shelter?
II predicted in November,
1928, that things could be worse be-
fore they are better.

PASS UP THE PEDDLERl

''Beware. Don't trade with the door-to-door
peddler." That is the heading over page adj
vertisment in an exchange, signed by the mer-
chants of the city.
It points out that the rule of "caveat emptor"
prevails when purchases from unknown
agent "Iet the buyer BEWARE for there are
come backs The continued success of the
chant, however, depends upon his local patron
age and therefore his reputation for fair dealing.
He can be reached; he endeavors to provide SER
vice and will correct mistakes The peddler is here
today and gone tomorrow.
The advertisement asks: EDO you want to deal
with your steadfast, reliable, home town mer-
chants-the men who make up the list of your
best citizens largest Taxpayers public benefactors
and community bulders?'
The irresponsible agent appears at the door. He
or she shows you samples of goods. You are pre-
vailed upon to buy for it appears to be bargain.
But you find out differently when the article ar
rives 1t is not in accordance with the sample
representations It may be cheap stuff may not
tit or in some manner may be entirely l1nsatis-
factory 1t is returned with request for correction
or return of money Chances are you will receive
neither. There is no redress Your investment is
lost.
Many have had such experiences and profted
thereby at cost. So from selfish and safe stand
point alone it pays to patronize the home mer-
chant in preference to the unknown affair off.
If one borrows money it is better to be a nation
than an individual. A nation is given more time
in which to pay.
Ninety per cent Of the men looking for argu-
mentS are single.

HOT-CHA!

An exciting basketball game was
played between Hanford and White
Bluffs Junior high, Friday afternoon
at the Hanford gym. The boys game
was especially exciting, for the score
ended IL to 10, in favor of the White
Bluffs boys. The game was refereed
by Mr.. Parker.
The girls were unlucky, they say,
because it was Friday the 18th. The
score was 20 to 6 in favor Of the Han
ford girls.
There will be another game played
next week at White Bluffs. probably

By the Associated Press.

RESUME PLANNED
OF JEWISH HISTORY
Cast of 6,2O0 to Present
Spectacle Thursday at
Polo Grounds.
BY the Associated Press.

8y the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 12.-This
has been a Summer Of large, out-of-door
spectacles, and it is not yet over.
The latest of the series, and perhaps
the last because Of the coming OF Fall,
is to be a resume Of Jewish history, and
will be seen and heard next Thursday
night at the Polo Grounds here. 1t
will be repeated the following oaturuay
and Sunday nights.
II is to be performed by q huge cast
of 5000, which has been rehearsed in
small units in various halls In all parts
of New York, by dozens Of workers. The
army of 5000 includes not only nun
dreds Of Supers, whose share Will pe
furnishing the mass and movement OF
the pageant, but a number OF sololSts,
who will be invisible. an invisible choir;
and large numbers OF mines ana
dancers.
In the interludes there will be heard
the voice of a narrator, whose words
will link the episodes OF this ancient
history.
To Follow Bible Records.
Generally the routine of the pageant
will follow biblical and historical rec
ords; there occurs occasionally IN the
action a fusion Of incidents not In strict
chronological order, but drawn together
by their common significance. This
synthesis Of Jewish history through
1000 years has been prepared under
the direction of Meyer w. Weisgal, well
known Jewish communal worker. and
q leader In the movement to restore
Palestine.
The visitors first win see, on a lee
tern at the center Of the field, the
Scroll Of the Ages, which has been
brought forward by group OF priestly
figures. The action Is presumed to
have been read by the audience from
the scroll through the medium Of the
interpreting voice.
The lectern is lighted and the voice
1ntones: "Bereshis boro elohim
In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth. The
creation Is shown. symbolically, as
prologue to the first episode, which Is
the coming of Abraham.
The day Of Moses, and the 40 years
wandering preceding the entry into
Canaan follow. The age Of the proph-
cts, of David. the time Of Solomon and
the building Of the temple are gone
through. Then the Romans come, the
Jews are scattered, and rapid sketches
of their life in the far lands into which
they wandered follow.
U. S. Freedom Seen.
America Is presented as the land in
which the Jews at last attain freedom
and the land where the dream Of re-
building Palestine was born.
The pageant closes with representa-
ton Of that last process; the temple
returns symbollically changed. The
figure Of the Prophet Isaiah appears,
concluding his statement with the
words:
Nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn
war any more"
There is silence-and then the song
Of the new day.
The pageant was first presented in
July at the Century Of Progress Expo !
sition In Chicago, as the contribution |
Of American Jewry to the fair. The |
committee Of sponsors in charge Of the
present production Is headed by Gov.
Hubert H Lehman Of New York and

He tried again and this time he
hit the ball. Away it sailed.
Now we'll look for the balls and
wham them some more" said Uncle
Wiggily.
Yes, that's how to play the
game" grunted the pig.
But when they went to where they
thought they had knocked the balls,
not having any caddies, the balls
were not to be seen.
They must be in the grass" said
Uncle Wiggily
Cor in the rough" agreed the
pig.
They looked some more and then
some more and still some more, but
neither ball could they find. How
ever, they had other balls in the
bags, hidden in cute little pockets
near the clubs, and soon the pig
and rabbit were knocking more balls
down the fairway. But these, also,
were lost, one after another, I'M
til they had no more with which to
play golf.

the pig.

So they went home, leaving the
lost balls on the field.
When Uncle Wiggily reached his
hollow stump bungalow he saw
Baby Bunty and all the other rab-
bit children playing around. School
was out. For a while Uncle Wig
gily played tag with the little bun
MES and then he sat down on the
porch to rest.
All of a sudden as he sat there
he heard over in the tall grass a
tiny voice calling:

Dummies must be lost and they want
to be found" said Mr.. Longears. He
hoped toward where the voice was
again calling: Here 1 ami Come

But when he got there he saw
only an old doll that had belonged
to Baby Bunty. 1t was the doll who
was calling

claimed Mr.. Longears in surprise.
"Oh, that's only my old doll said
Baby Bunty, hopping along just

NOT ALADDTN'S LAMP

Last nights issue of The Press car
ried highly interesting article on the
recovery program, written by Raymond
Clapper, Washington correspondent for
the United Press, a topnotch newspaper
man whose knowledge of capital affairs
is hardly open to challenge
Amongst other things he declares that
skepticism is growing in Washington to-
ward the NRA, public works program
and agricultural adjustment act, as sure
fire paths to immediate prosperity.
The article explains also that the re-
suits of the NRA have not lived up to
expectations.
The article is not a condemnation of
the administration recovery program
nor is it intended as such. 1t is highly
constructive, not destructive, and the les
son it points out applies to the entire
population of this country.
Too many persons, including high Off
Gals at Washington, have held to the be-
lief that adoption of the NRA, the pub
lie works program, agricultural adjust
ment act and other phases of the recov-
cry program, was all that was necessary
to bring about a revival of prosperity.
The NRA, for example, cannot be made
a success by merchants and consumers
signing pledges and displaying the NRA
insignia. Too many have believed that
this is all that is necessary. The nation
could sign pledges and display insignia
from now until doomsday and it would
not put single man back to work or in
crease the buying power of the country.
Designed to put more men to work and
increase the buying power, the NRA can
only succeed when all unite in actively
carrying out its provisions. The employ
err must adjust his schedules so that he
can provide additional employment, and
the employee must spend his money
stwisely, of course) if the objects of the
NRA are to be obtained.
We have been living through another
such period as that between last years
election and the Inauguration of Mr..
Roosevelt Then there were millions who
believed that the mere assumption Of
control by Mr.. Roosevelt would work
some sort of miracle that would bring
prosperity back overnight. 1t didn't, be-
cause it couldn't.
Likewise, the adoption OF the various
phases of the recovery program means no
more than the inauguration of Mr..
Roosevelt, unless it is backed up by the
only thing that will bring back prosper
ity-work and plenty of it. Not only is
new work needed to provide for the un-
employed, but those who have been work
ing throughout the depression must work
harder.
The recovery program is no Aladdins
lamp. Too many have been considering
it SUCH 1t is only formula, the provi-
sions of which must be actively carried
out before it is worth even the breath 1t
takes to discuss it.

day and the two animal gentlemen
felt quite happy.
You start, Wiggy," said the pig
politely.
90 K, Twisty," spoke the rabbit,
and he whammed his ball very
hard, sending it a long way. down
the links.
Fine and dandy" grunted Mr..
Twistytail. Il hope I can do as
we'll"
He put his ball upon a little hill of
sand and swung his club at it very
hard. Nothing happened.
You closed your eyes and missed
the ball" said Uncle Wiggily.
Did ~" asked the pig. How sill
ly of me! Here I go again!"
once more he swung at the ball.
