BUY HOME PRODUCTS

Campaigns for the encouragement of
buying products manufactured near at
home have been carried on in various
communities with varying success for
many years. Nearly everyone agrees that
the idea is sound in principle, but many
fail to put it into practice when the time
comes to buy.
Any small local industry which manu-
features worthy product and sells it at a
reasonable price might be enabled to grow
large through the loyal support of home
people. Its growth would enable it to in
crease its payrolls. increase its consump-
ton of locally produced raw materials,
build up increased taxable wealth, and in
every way contribute to the progress and
prosperity of its community.
These are trite and self-evident facts
which have been put forward time and
again, yet many otherwise good citizens
deliberately contribute to the upbuilding
of distant cities at the expense of their
own towns and counties. through failing to
patrOnize home establishments.
The policy of buying at home would
do more for the average town than can
be accomplished by all the commercial Or
CARNATIONS and boosters clubs which may
be maintained. These organizations are
needed. of course, but their efforts should
be aided by supporting the enterprises al
ready present in the community.

RECOGNIZE MANcHUkuo7

Japan plays very clever diplomatic
game with the other nations in regard to
her puppet-state of Manchukuo, carved out
of Manchuria, Jehol, and other Chinese
territory, stolen from the ancient nation by
the Japanese army.
The japanese absolutely dominate the
little puppet-state. Japanese citezens,
many of them army officers, have been ap-
pointed in high state positions. but Japan
maintains the fiction to the outside world
that they are officers of Manchukuo, and
smilingly denies that the actions of the lit
tie country are in any way controlled by
Nippon.
The other day the government of
Manehukuo announced plans for an oil
monopoly, ostensibly for itself but in
reality for the benefit of the Japs British
and American oil companies, facing heavy
losses out there, called the attention of
their governments to the program, as did
the Dutch oil firm. Then, the farce be-
gan.
The three governments, none of
which had recognized the independence of
the little state, addressed their protests to
the Japs at Toxic. They smiled, refused to
admit any responsibility, and informed the
complaining nations to make their repre-
sensations to the government of Man.
chukuo, This they can not do without
recognizing the state. So, its either recog-
nize the state or let it do as it pleases.
So, by the fiction of an independent
state, Japan carries forward its plans ir
ManehukuO, without assuming any respOn-
sibility. With its large army and power
full navy. the japanese Empire is ready to
fight any nation which seeks to challenge
its right to the spoils and booty of the
Manchurian invasion.

POLITICAL HOT AIR

Those credulOus and unSOphisticated
souls who take the speeches of their Sem
ators and Congressman seriously may have
been rudely Jared if they read a state
ment once made by Senator Glass of Viz
ginia, who said:
In all my experience of % years in
Congress, have never known a speech to
change vote"
While this is a rather broad asser-
ton, it IS practically true. A large per-
centage of the speeches printed in the Con-
gressiOnal Record are just so much hot air.
Many of them are never delivered at all.

Aside from a few notable exceptions.
the sole aim in life of Senators and Con-

here and a projection there pressing
against bones, blood vessels, nerves
and muscles. The little disconforts
of the straight back wooden chair
soon make themselves felt. TheyI

they give US the ''fidgets." ,
So let's be a little thoughtful oil

Der that discomfort and good work,
rather, ones best work, don't go
together. The feet shouldn't dangle
off the floor, since that means that
the front edge of the chair is press
ing hard against the back of the
thigh. Nor should the seat be so
low that the knees are hunched ul'
in front. Instead, the feet should
rest fat on the floor and the thighs
should rest evenly on the seat. The
desk should be neither too close nor
too far to the pupil. In both in
stances, unnatural, uncomfortable
pastures result.
The near edge of the desk should
overlap the front edge Of the seat
about an inch or two. The height
of the desk should permit the fore
arms to rest on the desk without
either q launching or a slouching Of
the shoulders. The child should ap-
pear to be comfortable, assuming a
slight forward incline.
