GOOD AS A TONIC

Like most farmers | have been rather
pessimistic over conditions for long
time, but President Roosevelt's radio
talk Sunday night certainly did cheer me
up and | feel confident that all of us
will eventually work our way out of our
present difficulty. The Presidents talk
was as good as tonic"
1t was an Imperial Valley dirt farm
er" who made the statement. Not a
farmer who does his ranching on the
curbstone of the county seat, or bewall-
ing his hard luck on a street corner.
He is a man who came to the valley
and settled on a homestead, which
through hard work and close attention
to his duties has been developed into
successful farm. That is, it was success
ful until the depression set IN.
Like most others, this farmer has been
up against it for several months,
through no fault of his own. He has
stuck to his farming except for gener-
Gus amount of his time allotted to public
service, which as a good citizen he could
not nor would not SideStep. He had
plenty of reason for feeling pessimistic,
with little or no income from farm to
which he had given three decades Of hard
work
statement given in the above paragraph,
and because he can be considered typical
of thousands of other farmers through
out the country.
If he was cheered by the Presidents
talk it is only logical to assume that
thousands of his fellow farmers were af-
fected the same way.
He was encouraged by the direct state
ment of the President that he is not sat
isfed with the increase made in the price
of farm products and that the increase
must be extended to many products
which have not been so benefited IF
we cannot do this one way we will do it
another. Do it we will the President
said
Encouragement, optimism, and faith
are what all of us need, the farmer per-
haps more than any other If we can get
them from talks by the President, it is to
be hoped he will be heard more frequent

er measure of confidence than the people
have given Mr.. Roosevelt He needs our
support and encouragement but no more
than we need his

VICKS COMPANY
HAS FAITH IN
NEWSPAPERS

GREENSBORO, N. c., Oct. "a.
(SpeciaD-In accordance with its
policy for nearly 80 years, the Wick
Chemical company announced to-
day that newspapers will receive
most of the heavy advertising this
season for Vicks VapoRub, VickS
nose and throat drops, VickS medi-
Gated cough drops and Vicks Vora-

VickS advertising and expansion
program for this season is one of
the largest in the company S his
tory-a continuation of past poll

During the past four years VickS
has increased its advertising $50 per
cent. 1t has increased the number
of its employees 70 per cent and
maintained salaries at the high
1929 levels. Throughout this Pc
riod, other companies were curtail-
ing their advertising or eliminating

employees and slashing salaries.

Vicks products have increased from
26,000,000 packages in 1929 to more
than 52,000,000 packages this year.
Having operated throughout its
history under policies similar to
those embodied in the National In

For many years VickS VapoRub

attributes much of the tremendous
VapoRub Sales-over 26,000,000 jars

speaking out loud.

EAST SIDE HARHONY

There is little wealth, as the world rec
kons wealth, on Ell Centro's east side,
but there is wealth beyond computation
viewed from the angle of things worth
while.
Out of their meager resources east side
residents staged carnival Sunday. It
was not for their own amusement, but
to raise funds for the aid of sufferers in
the recent disastrous flood at Tampico.
Many east side residents have been
without work for long time. Others
have been able to get only occasional
jobs. Yet this condition did not make
them hesitate when the call came TO help
others who needed it.
The carnival was not only splendid
example of Willingness of the Mexican
people to help their stricken fellow
countrymen but it emphasized the cor
dial relations existing between Negro
and Mexican residents. Negro citizens
and organizations willingly cooperated
to help worthy cause in which their
Mexican neighbors We're interested
Few residents of Ell Centre give much
thought to the fact that peace and har-
mony prevail on Ell Centros east side
despite wide difference in racial origin,
manners, and customs. The wonderful
community spirit there, recognized by
all who are in the least interested as
nothing short of marvellous, is made pos
sible because Negroes and MeXicans do
not let their eyes judge men and women
by the color of their skins. They look
deeper. The simplicity of the two peo-
pies seems to have solved for them
question which has always perpleXed the
white man.

tail price taking care Of only the boost
in flour costs"
An oflcial OF the farm act admins
tration. when interviewed on the sub
ject, has said that the bakers can
not very well blame the processing
taxes for raising prices on the 5th Of
July when the wheat tax does not
60 into effect until midnight July .,
and furthermore that the tax will
amount to only $13s . barrel and not
$3.50, and that this should not amount
to more than three quarters of cent
. loaf. He added, however. that an
increase in the price Of bread based on
the recent rise in wheat prices was
different matter entirely.
Nobody has ever expected the proc
essors or the users of processed agri-
cultural products to pay the tax out
Of their own pockets and absorb the
loss themselves. Nor has any one ever
expected that sales tax Of any kind
would be paid wholly by the manu-
facturers without passing it on to the
consumers. Indeed the only question
has been whether the entire tax would
60 back to the consumers, or only a
part Of it, or more than the tax It
is certainty contrary to economic law
not to pass the tax on to the con-
sumer as part of the cost Of produc-
ton, and it is equally contrary to
economic law to pass more than the
tax on to the consumer and thus make
an unjustifable profit on the trans
action.
