Talmadge OF Georgia, has had to
loosen up a bit and smile in spite OF
his crouch against the New Deal.

taken aback bit.
Mrs. Roosevelt had not visited
Mississippi before and they 'suttainly'
did give her a hearty hand. Every
body in the State got up soon in the

with a national organization. This
dream came true when she found her
self on the program to play With the
National Symphony Orchestra IN
Washington on January 10, the date
of the Garner dinner. But ye gods
and little fishes, she was invited to the
Vice Presidents dinner that night and
a White House invitation is looked
upon as a command But the Ma

to the 9th and Mrs. Watson will be
enabled to realize her life's ambition,

Senator Thomas D. Schall of Min
neapolis has taken to letter writing
these last u months and addresses
himself to the President of the United
States. In a recent open letter-lt
was opened before the President got 1t

States should embark on program OF
"Buy American" if prosperity is to
come. He says ''the worker must be
the consumer as well as producer. He

Now, how would Secretary OF State
Cordell Hull ever get the Nobel Peace
Prize if such a course were pursued.

peace.

your party clothes and tune in, for
