Solution to Previous contract
 Problem
 Someone recently asked P. Hal Sims, famous contract expert, what was the most important factor In contract bridge and his answer was, "The timing factor" In the contracting you must time the bidding so that the proper hand becomes the declarer.
 Suppose your hand consists of q good heart suit and your partner has e good spade suit. The oppo- nents have bid diamonds. You hold tht king and ten of diamonds and the bidding indicates that you or your partner has control of the club suit.
 You must become the declarer, to make sure that you will lose only one trick. If you allow your partner to play the hand at spades, they will lead through your king and ten of diamonds and the small slam will be defeated.

L u,
Editor, Cappers Farmer.
Topeka Kansas.
Dear Editor:
This is to inform you that Mr. George Longhenry
longer interested In your publication he has been
dead for three years already.
Your friend Jimmy Rankin correct when he
wanted bet that you would not get the subscription
either
The farmers of Minnesota longer interested
in your publication.
They are now subscribing to the Producers News
and they say that the Producers News the best farm
paper in America
Your magazine, Capper's Farmer, tells how
the farmers double their wheat yield, How ne gets
more beans per how he double his potato yield
how the farmers make two blades of grass grow
where they used to grow only one.
Well the farmers not interested in that kind of
stuff any
They want to know how they can stop foreclosure
sales; they to know how they stop evctions
They want to know how they themselves
and their family from the charity slop lines.
They want to know how they their family
from starvation.
And that is the reason why the farmers now
subscribing to the Producers News. The Producers
fights against foreclosure sales and evicons The Pro-
ducers News fights keep the farmers their farms
and the workers in their homes.
| am convinced my dear Mr. Editor that you are
falling down your job
am convinced that you haven't given the farmer
the kind of paper he wants
Sincerely yours

prices, which are less than the
cost of production, there are
few buyers.
Destroying their crops will
not help these farmers. They
can and will obtain cash relief
from the government if they
will organize and fight for il.
Prices are low because work
ers, employed as well as I'M
employed, cannot buy these
products; and because the mid
die men still get their millions
in rake off.
For these reasons the farm
ers must organize to strike fol
higher prices out of the profits
of the middlemen and the food
trusts, and support the demand
of the workers for memploy-

red light signal to let you
know there is danger ahead,
and it is so close that it real
ly makes me tremble."
This is what a lawyer in a
farming state wrote to his Con-
gresham. Similar letters have
poured in on Congress from all
the farming districts. They were
not written by farmers m the most
destitute circumstances but by
formerly prosperous farmers, and
small town bankers, lawyers, real
estate men, merchants, insurance
agents, and heads of mortgage and
loan companies.
All through these letters runs
the story that the American farm
ers are not going to stand for
their present misery. They viii
fight against it and if no relief is
granted viii make an end to tht
entire system that breeds such
horrible conditions.
