ROTARY FAVORS
DELAWARE DAY
Fall in With Other Organiza-
tions to Set Aside Dec. z to
Mark First State of Union"
TALK BY SMYRNA BOY

The Smyrna Rotary Club has
adopted the plan to petition Gov
ernor c. D. Buck for the proper
observance and setting aside of De-
cember z of each year as Delaware
Day, throughout the State. Co
operation with David c. Harrison
Post, No. 13, of the American Leg
ion, for the proper observance of
Memorial Day was concurred in by
the Club. Transportation for the
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts viii be
furnished. The Club expects a
large attendance at the May 25th
meeting. Alvin Handloff, a student
at the University of Delaware, and
a graduate of the Smyrna High
School, addressed the Smyrna Ro-
tary Club last Thursday evening on
the subject, rs the World Pro-
gressing?" Mr.. Handloff describ-
ed Science and Political History
from A. D. 1400 to the present
time. Science was placed ahead Of
Politics, the achievements attain
ed. Modern Inventions were de-
scribed and their uses explained in
the industrial pursuits of life. In
the political arena, Adolph Hitler
was characterized as the leading
politician of the world at the pres
ent time. His methods of attain
ing power were described, the prin-
cipal one being the expulsion of the
Jews from Germany The speaker
reverted to history and called at
tention to the fact that Spain just
400 years ago did the same thing.
The Spain of today is not to be
contrasted from the business and
industrial situation, existing today
as before the expulsion Hitler as
a man was characterized as a man
of promise to the Native German.
To oust the Jew, pre-war living
conditions would be restored to the
Germans, this being one of the
prime factors in attaining the
backing of the Germans to expel
the Jew from Germany. The can
collation. of war debts was urged by
Mr.. Handloff in order that every
country could begin anew, restore
trade between nations and rehabil-
itate the peoples of the earth. Mr..
Handloff was given vote of thanks.

to discuss the situation and decide
upon tentative plans for the pro-
ject.

'Equalizing production to meet
consumer demand has been one of
the outstanding accomplishments
of the Interstate Milk Producers

in South Eastern Pennsylvania,
Southern New Jersey, the entire
State of Delaware, the Eastern
Shore of Maryland and a small
section of West Virginia. This
combined area represents what is
known as the Philadelphia Milk

this area were producing five or six

REFNANCnG PLAN
BENEFITS BANKERS
Pittsford, Mich.

NbS1OEu, M1Cus
Dear Editor:
The bankers here tell us farm
ers that the benefits we will get
out of the new plan by the gov
eminent to release around $751;
100000 on farm loans to Michigan
banks will lie in the fact that our
rate of interest will be reduced to
Az per cent and we will not be
obliged to pay anything on the
principal for five years.
When we have to sell our pro-
duce below the cost of production
and pay higher prices for every
thing we buy, how can we pay any
interest or debts at all? 1t can
not be done.
The benefits out of the new plan
of refinancing Of farm mortgages
are that the bankers will be made
secure in their loans to the farm
ers and big busiress will get our
homes. The only way we can be
made secure in our homes against
the bankers and their government
is to fight for cancellation Of Sc
cured debts by our united mass ac-
ton.

FARMERS APPROVE
CHICAGO PROGRAM
By Matt KOivula

SOUTH HAVEN, Minn--About
60 farmers attended a meeting
here to listen to the report of the
Farmers Second National Confer
ence, held IN Chicago. Walter Leh-
tinen, young farmer from Wadena
county stopped over on his way
home and gave the report.
This young delegate was able
to expose Roosevelt's fake farm
relief plans to the satisfaction of
his audience. He also spoke on
the set of demands that was
drawn up by the dirt farmers at
the Chicago Conference. This was
the first meeting in this neck of
the woods where cancellation of
secured debts was taken up for
discussion and there was agree
ment on cancellation as the next
step for the farmers.
There was one banker in the hall
taking in the program. He was
standing pretty close to the door.
But he disappeared from his ne
served seat before the meeting
was over.

ROBERTS co. MEET
DISCUSSES RELIEF
Commissioners Forced to
Listen to Demands of
Farmers

SISSETON, S. D.-The need for
immediate relief in Roberts county
was brought to the attention of
the County Commissioners at a
countrywide mass meeting held at
the school auditorium and called
bv the United Farmers League.
The auditorium was filled to ca
pacity.
julius Walstad opened the meet
ing and asked that the county
commissioners who were meeting
at the courthouse be invited to
attend the meeting. They came,
ard had to listen to the demands
of the United Farmers League,
much to their discomfort.
According to an investigating
committee appointed by the UFL,
60 per cent Of the farmers need
relief, and almost so per cent of
them need complete relief. The
minimum demands of the U. F. L.
for each family was $40 for coal,
$50 for clothing and SIS per
month for groceries. In addition
the farmers would need $4,000
bushels of grain for chicken feed
w. R. DeArment of the Unem'
ployed Council of Sissetor' pre-
sented the demands of the work
ers of Sisseton which we're $40 pei
week for family of two, with 81

Dept. of Agri. Confesses
Debts and Taxes to
Swallow Income
By Harold Preece

The recently issued forecast for
1884, of the Department of Agri-
culture, is an admission of rank
failure.
After all the prediction ballyhoo
regarding relief for the farmer,
the Democratic administration is
forced to admit that the agricul-
tural situation, next year, will not
be materially different from this
year. This admission comes after
the official plowing-up of food
stuffs and killing of livestock.
According to the Outlook, Off
cial report of the Dept. of Agricul-
ture, "a large proportion of farm
families still will be able to buy
only the barest essentials" In a
gust of optimism, the department
asserts that there are some pro-
spects for an increase in farm
prices, but that debts and taxes
VIII consume II.
Thus, the farmer after dutifully
destroying the products of his la
Dor is not one whit better off. The
spectators and corporations have
an increased profit, it is true. Blu
on the farmers doorstep Turk tht
mortgage-sharks and the bill col
lectors.
The department may claim tina
the temporary price increases of
last season checked the downward
trerd of farm incomes. But tn
facts speak differently. In tn
cotton belt of Texas, one loan com
pany is about to annex an entir,
county, due to default of farmer
or interest. And of what prof

to the farmer to obtain a few ex-
TIA pennies if the prices of the
commodities which he must buy
are increased in terms of dollars.
Moreover, rental and benefit pay
ments made by the government,
are speedily collected by the bark
ers and landlords.
With the farmers still heavily in
debt, with the world market con-
stantly declining, it is thus sheer
folly for the department to pre-
dict a "a per cent increase in az
ricultural ircome for next year.
It's note of pessimism is more
truthful and more to- the point.
Nor should the farmers forget
that the same machinery which
existed to rob them this year will
exist to rob them during 1884.
The department processes to see
the silver lining in the South. But
it is in the South, depending al
most entirely up on agriculture
that the Roosevelt farm policies
have been felt most severely. Du
to these policies, tenart farmer
have been driven from the land a
acreage has been reduced. Thes'
evicted families are drifting into
the towns and cities withou
money and without means of sus
tenance.
This will be hard lean winter
Snow will cover the burrows, an,
the pantries will be empty ir man,

their bare-footed children may en-
terrain themselves by reading tn
inspired prophecies Of Wallace. o
they may better themselves by OF

Ford Trucks Accepted
Over NRA Objections

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Henry Ford
won a victory over General Johnson, ad-
ministrator of the NRA when he was
awarded a contract for 700 trucks needed
by the CCC camps. Johnson had declared
that Ford was ineligible because he had not
signed the NRA code for the auto industry.
A very low bid was responsible in part for
the decision.
