IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear wife
and mother, Mrs. Bessie Richie who
died August %, 1927
Seven long years you left us mother
How we miss your loving face.
But you left us to remember
None on earth could take your place
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since you were called away
But Oh! a brighter home than ours
Is yours in Heaven today.
Sadly missed by,

Buying Lean Acres.
(New York Times.)

Among other alotmenJs made last week by the Public Works Administration was one of $25 900 0O0 for the purpose of withdrawing "submarginaI' farm land from cultivation This marks a new policy by the Government. The Administration is said ito have under consideration plan calling ulti- mately for the retirement of 50000000 acres, lat total cost of $350000000 The land described las "submarginal" consists largely of arid tracts and cut-over timberland which is unsuited for Iagriculture.
 Two advantages claimed for the policy of taking these lean out of cultivation It would greatly aid the Government in it's present effort to curtai surplus farm production But this lseems to be somewhat overrated. Land which can be purchased at ST an scarcely be con- tributng heavily to the existing surpuses of wheat cotton, corn and tobacco Secretary Wallace notes
 in his annual report that the "submarginal" tracts
 include "areas most subject to water or wind erosion as well Hands that serve as breeding soil does not produce rich crops. Nor is the clean
 ng-up of breeding grounds for insect pests and plant diseases likely to have restrictive effect on the total volume of farm production.
 Much is to be said however, for the second claim: that in the long it is socially desirable to con- vert these unpromising tracts into national parks or forests Poor schools and poors roads usually characterize areas of poor farm land The same areas are frequently dependent seed loans and relief funds. There is a clear social advantage to be gained by taking such districts out of cultva- tion. But this is project ostensbly to be planned over considerable period of years and to be push ed more rapidly than circumstances permit sub marginal farmers to find employment elsewhere In the matter of actual farm relief, the Admnistra- tion has other and hotter irons in the fire.

THE DEADLY TOLL.

The National Safety Council announces in crease of about three and one-haf per cent in 1883 in motor vehicle accidents those of 1882. The toll of death taken last year according to the fnd ings of the council, totals 30500 persons These fatalities due to various causes but considerable number has been traced to driving by drunken persons
 There can be no excuses offered by intoxicated drivers. Drastic punishment should be meted out to such individuals. Repeal of the Eighteenth Amend ment must not be rendered odious by drunken driving. There too much of it during the Prohibition Regulation of driving by persons under the influence of liquor must be undertaken with new severity of the obligations of social control of liquor.
 The drunken driver. potentially at least particu- larly in crowded cities is dangerous as the drug crazed gunman.

 Away slight men you are corporals of disaster"
 After many a man had failed, stern visaged hard boiled, swearing, swaggering Gen. Hugh John son stood up and with wave of his hand and pithy statement reegated weddings towards grovel CTS and vaciators to the side lines while he took command with an iron hand that wore no velvet glove.
 Times and the exigencies of emergency, it is said produce the Always, one recollects there has been ready to serve and his country in emergency; eevry emergency has found the man and every man thus found conquered the obstacles he has been found and raised up to conquer. Such men do not fail.
 When the United States found itself in the World War and faced with the task of raising an army overnight, man was needed who could raise that army and devise system by which hundreds of thousands of could be gathered into training camps There must be no mistake in the selection of this man. A slip would mean disaster
 Hugh Johnson unknown, unheralded and un- sung given the task of getting this army to the colors. Overnight he devised the seectve draft system and organized regional draft and examining boards. The system worked The men were enrolled Johnson stepped aside and the went on, ended and he remained in obscurty. He had completed his job. The emergency had pro- duced and used the man.
 Years went by. There another emergency. Many had failed. Another slip would obviously be fatal. President Roosevelt sought out Gen. Hugh Johnson and said: Come, need you" John son came,
 Johnson came and hoisted the Blue Eagle as the nations New Deal flag and gave it the NRA emblem to hang in windows instead of the service flags of the World War days. He was engaged this time in economic war but it made no difference with Johnson, he recognized the situation as and dealt with it in the only way he had known
 Irked by weak-spined men, he cried: away slight men you corporals of disaster" There is room in Johnson's conception of for slight mens He is an army with army style The magazine Time has named Johnson as the Man of the Year.
 Of course he is. Emergencies produce the man to deal with them There is always one man at one time for one thing. Today it is Gen. -gh Johnson.
