II have paid all the queens pri-
vate bills since my appointment,
Sir Edward told an interviewer,
"and / have been on hundreds of
shopping expeditions with her. /

grasp of current prices and the dis
elimination she showed in buying
the right article. / never found
a flaw in her bills"

Marriages in Nevada as

Reno, Nev.-One reason why Ne
vadas marriage business is booming
as rival to divorces, insofar as mon

ties may be used in any part of the
state. This is an aid to those desir-

Thoughts on Rural Carriers
i Retirement
The room was hushed in silence,
AS a postman streaked with gray,
Walked slowly to the office
To put his key away.
Speaking softly to his comrades
In low and shaky voice;
"You know tits the last trip boys
But it seems can't rejoice.
"Many weary mile I've travelled,
In my long and happy past;
But you helped me on my journey
And I'm with you to the last.
Il am thankful for the pension,
Yet there is a better goal;
For the duties of a postman
Help inspire the hungry soul.
Il have had some busy days, boys
| have tried to do my best;
But I'll discard the old mail bag,
For they say | need q rest.
"If you'll take little advice
From vet'ran old and gray
Please take notice to me kindly
And give heed to what l say.
"On the way that lies before you,
Is rough and rugged road;
But you're sure to have the vict'ry
If you tote the weary load.
"Do not leave the task to others,
You must help to close the deal,
Lay aside all hate and malice,
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
when we have cur great reunion
III would like to hear your voice
\ Whisper Eternal vacation;
Then | think l can rejoice"

GETTYSBURG

The first three days of this month marked the
10th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, in
which Meades defeat of Lee sealed the fate of the
Confederacy It is estimated that the Union forces
under Meade numbered about $4,000 men, while the
Confederates under Lee numbered about 1000.
This momentuos battle was one of the fercest
in all history, and cost both sides heavily. Esti-
mates place the Union losses at 3072 killed, 14494
wounded and 5,434 captured missing while the
Confederates 1852 killed, 12,709 wounded and
$50 captured missing.
In this battle occurred the most famous charge
of the war; that of Picketts Division of Confeder-
ates composed of 5000 which pierced the I'm
line only to be hurled back with fearful slaugh-
It is estimated that fully twothirds Of Picketts
men were either killed. wounded captured in this
charge The failure Of this attack on the Union
position turned the tide Of the battle, and really
marked the beginning of the end, far as Confed-
crate chances of final victory were concerned.
On July 4, 1865, Lee began his retreat from Penn
sylvia and thereafter the Union forces gradually
frightened their grip on those of the South, until
Grant forced Lees surrender at Appomattox on April
8, 1865.
The three score and ten years which have
elopsed since Gettysburg has seen reunited country
increase in population from about 80 million to
more than 123 million, thereby becoming one OF the
greatest world powers Few persons, even in the
South now believe that it would have been best If
the Confederacy had succeeded although the sim
cerity of those favorng secession is no longer ques
toned, and the of Lee is honored in the North
as well as in the South

DO FEDERAL AGENCIES BELIEVE THEIR
PRESIDENT?

We are given to understand that commodity
prices are to be raised and that special effort will
be made through legislation and great powers
granted the Secretary of Agriculture to help con-
siderably agricultural prices.
If prices for agricultural products reach fair
figure farmers will experience particular difficulty
in meeting their obligations There very little de-
fault in interest and principal payments on farm
mortgages when farm prices at fair level. When
prices for agricultural products get so low that they
do pay for the cost of production it is almost
impossible for the farmer to meet his interest
charges though the interest rate is low and the
mortgage small.
With the assurance that agricultural prices are
to rise, farm lands should be of considerable value
and farm loans should be in fair amounts based on
the reasonable return under these new prizes.
The different government loaning agencies, IN
GLIDING Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation
and the Federal Land Bank however, in estimating
the value of property putting it at todays going
price the lowest level reached in this territory for
many years, and giving consideration to the ex-
pectation that prices will be better In other words
these agencies apparently have no faith in the as
surance of the new price level For instance a well
improved quarter section of land in this vicinity
would probably be appraised at $4,000 per acre for the
land This would amount to $4,000 They loan
half the value which would be $780, this loan will
be by twenty per cent of the value OF the
improvements. If the buildings are worth $4,000,
that would add $1,000 to the loan, making total OF
$4,000 From this amount the borrower would have
to deduct five per cent for stock purchase amounting
to S21O so that his loan would net little less than
$4,000. In other words this government agency would
be Ioaning him $1,000 less than the improvements
are worth.
The men representing these government agencies
are continually asserting in public addresses that
their agencies Santa Claus and that they
making good loans. They do not realize that
the reason that these agencies are in existence Is
because there national emergency and they con-
slider that they entitled to great praise for being
mere Shylocks with this government money.
The legislation has considerable merit, but the
way it is operated nullifes the effect. Probably too
many of those in charge are from the banking fra
ternity. They lack vision and too skeptical to
have any faith in the statements Of the adminisra-
ton of rising prices If these government agencies
headed by few country editors better results
might be obtained.

AL SMITHS VIEW

In the midst of the enthusiasm for the New
Deal" sponsored by President Roosevelt there has
lately appeared criticism of some of the measures
whereby his program is to be put into effect
The most prominent critic of the law by which
the government is empowered to exercise dictator
ial powers over business and industry known as the
National Recovery Act is Alfred E. Smith, presi-
Dental candidate in 1928 In his magazine The New
Outlook he said, in part:
"This act if the terms are carried out will Grip
pie initiative legalize and even encourage monopoly
raise prices and require higher tariffs to maintain
the new structures. The little man will be lost in
the shuttle. I do not want to see this land OF OPP
portunity sink to dead level in which we shall all
be civic servants working under political control
If that happens, we shall have sold our American
birthright for mess of Communistic pottage
great many patriotic ciizens agree with Mr..
Smith that of the legislation passed by the re
cent Congress goes too far in the direction of pac-
ing everybody and everything under government con-
troll. We can only await the result of these revo-
lutionary measures, and in the meantime hope for
the best.
