Jehol's second largest city, and other
towns in Eastern Jehol were bombed
by Japanese planes were issued at Chi
nese military headquarters in Peiping.

troops are withdrawn from Jehol they
will be expelled forcibly. Although Chi
nese officials have not reported receipt

spokesman said it was delivered verbally
to Foreign Minister Lo Wen-Kan.
Japanese Ambassadors in the United
States England, France, Italy and Ger
many were instructed to inform those
governments that Japan is mindful of
their interests in the Peiping- -Tientsin
treaty area and will not invade those
two cities unless Chinese reprisals force

CHILDREN GETTING
READY FOR SCHOOL

Approximately 10000, 900
children, ranging from near
graduates to undergraduates,
will converge on our streets and
highways this September, all
approaching central points.
Through the summer they have
been scattered through out the
length and breath of the land /;
now they are to be modified,
crossing our city thoroughfares
or country lanes in long lines

1t is the solemn duty of every
motorist to see to it that these
youngsters have a safe passage.
By following a few simple rules
he can help cut down the toll of
3, 400 children killed and 1872
$50 injured in 1882. Every
motorist should remember to
approach a school zone with
care; to slow down at all in
terse ctions; to watch his speed
on curves in the country. And
above all, he should look out
for the unexpected.
The reduction in motor ac-
cidents to children of school age
in the United States, is the
brightest picture in the safety
movement, but there still re-
mains much to be done to fur
ther reduce the number of
tragedies. The one person able

HISTORY OF LABOR DAY

Labor Day, 1888, will be the
thirty-ninth annual celebration
of Labor Day as Legal holi-
day. Labor Day evolved from
the aspiration of the labor
movement and was handed
down as a present. Its recog-
milton as a legal holiday was
won by labor; it was not given
to labor. The united voluntary
efforts of the workers them
selves established Labor Day as
a national holiday long before
any state legislature or the ma
tional Legislature enacted the
custom into statute law. The
Labor Day idea was organized
by P. j. Mcclure, for many
years first vice-president of the
American Federation of Labor,
and the day was actually set
aside, by law, on June 20, 1894,
the first Monday in
September a legal holiday -RNA

not sympathize with those

THE CO-OPS ARE
READY FOR RECOVERY

Keep your eye on the farm
cooperatives. They're ready
for recovery. They've had an
important hand in legislation
designed to bring it about. And
they're all set to go now that it
is coming.
They've come through ten
years of depression---yes, the
farmer has had it for that time,
as compared with three years
for the rest of us---with flying
colors. They have labored
nightly in the face of obstacles
and have produced results.
More farmers are organized
more farmers know what the
cooperative plan is, more farm
ers are enthusiastic about its
potentialities, than ever before.
The groundwork has been done
and the job now is to build a
stable structure on top of it.
The average farmer has at
last learned that non-coopera-
tion is another word for sheriff's
sale. He must sell his products
in highly organized distribu-
tive channels. The buyer is
going to buy at the lowest pos
sible price---the unorganized
farmert ekes what is offered or
goes without a sale. Fair prices
are possible only when the SELL
ing and buying groups meet on
equal grounds---when the CO.
operatives face the middlemen.
Industry's plans for recovery
are all wisely based on cooper
alton, on enlightened self-inter-
est. And the farmer is in ex-
actly the same position.
The Coolidge examiner., 1933-09-01
BUSINESS FARMING
VS.. POLITICS

In a recent radio address
Senator Arthur Capper observed
that the result of failure OF
farmers to cooperate, was to
lower the price of their produce
to the lowest possible level, and
said. THE only logical system
in sight so far by which the
farmer can bargain collectively
and effectively--for the sale OF
his products, in a highly organ
lied society of buyers, is through
cooperative marketing
The word "only" should bear
the accent in that quotation.
The farmer, like the rest of us,
has searched for a royal and
easy road to prosperity and con
tentment. He has listened to
purveyors of this penacea and
that one, and has occasionally
tried the medicine. He has, at
times, made the very human
error of believing that the gov
ernment can cure all his ills.
The panaceas have failed.
The government has helped a
bit--but it hasn't solved any
thing in particular. And now
the wise farmer is discovering
that of which Senator Capper
speaks-that the way to farm
prosperity is through the farm
ers' own collective efforts, with
a strong, Loyalty supported, ag-
gressive cooperative as the in
strument of progress.
1t is noteworthy that the
farmers who have won victories
of one kind or another the past
few years have been those who
have centered their efforts a
round large, well intrenched CO.
operatives. The milk producers
of New York, the walnut grow
ers of California, the cotton rails
ers of the South-these are good
examples that other groups of
farmers might observe with
profit.

WHEAT PLAN SUCCESS
A BALANCED HARVEST

Responsibility for successful
administration of the wheat ad-
justment program in any coun-
| ty, lies not in Washington but
in that county, Secretary Wal
lace says. in a wheat campaign
manual, "a Balanced Harvest
What the Farm Act Offers the
American Wheat Grower" now
being distributed to farmers by
county agents.
Besides explaining the eco
nomic background of the wheat
program and details of the
wheat plan itself, the manual
includes work sheet" with
which a farmer may estimate
his allotment and adjustment
payments for this year under
the plan.
The Secretary in his state
ment calls for a business-llke
attitude toward the wheat cam
paign.
1T is all very well'' the sec
retary says, "to say that in a
world where people are hungry
there can be no surplus. There
it is. Agriculture is a business.
Wheat must move into con-
sumption on business basis or
not at all. If it does not move,
it clogs trade channels, breeds
universal poverty and threatens
the entire structure of society.
Ungoverned overproduction is
not a social blessing, but a ira
gic waste. 1t kills trade and
spreads rum. If you incline to
doubt that, think back to last
winter when we had the most
wheat, the lowest price, and
the longest breadlines in our
history.
Another winter is coming
on. We are trying to get wheat
production organized on a SEN
sible basis. The new opportu-
nifty given American agricul-
ture to organize production on
a business basis, and the assur-
ances of a better price for farm
ers who cooperate in this his
toric effort, are definite and
plain"
