Auto Knocks Down Twins At Same Time

Hen Pheasant Crashes Into Clutches of Law
APPGETON-A fine hen pheasant reported to be
about the right size for meal or two crashed into
the clutches of the law in Appleton recently and was
allowed freedom without sentence payment of
damages. The bird. apparently on an air tour over
the town. missed the landing field, detoured through
the window of County Attorney Kenneth Kivleys Of
fee and landed the desk, stunned but uninjured.

and it departed without leaving a forwarding ad-
dress, telephone number, or pin feather.

soap peddlers and travelling men OF all
kinds who drive a few miles of the
highway to pick up some royalty.
They all have heard that lot Of
money can be made in royalties and
they want some. They don't know
anything about geology or title or
prices, but they figure that II they

the farmer is smart enough he can get
$40 as easily as he can get 81.
But it appears that the lull which
always follows first excitement has ar

~ EvERAL years ago we prepared
- a graphic chart intended to show
- when to buy royalties. BY
means Of the upturn and downturn OF
line we indicated the sellers mark
cts and the buyers markets.
Human psychology is always the
same. so it is needless to point out
that history repeats itself on every
oil wen in. every oil field. in relation
to the enthusiasm OF the owners OF
the landowners share Of the oil.
The great trouble is that everyone
feels the same way and 1t Is difficult
to get anyone to divorce himself from
the mass psychology and BUY when the
owner wants to SELL and by the same
method to SELL at profit when the
masses want to BUY.
The person who understands mass
psychology gets rich. under American
business methods. Any person who
understands mass psychology would not
try, as an example, to buy royalty from
a farmer on the day a well is spudded
in on his farm. Naturally, the farmer
is walking on the clouds. Congratu-
lated by his friends and envfed By
his neighbors, he cannot think in
terms Of a few hundred dollars. But
a few weeks later, when there is
fishing JOB threatening the loss OF the
hole and the excitement is all died
down, this same farmer Is likely to
think long time before he win re-
fuse thousand dollars for q part OF
his royalty. And so It goes: there is
a right time" and a wrong time
for everything.
Following the completion Of the
Texas company well on South Cut
Bank the owners Of lands south OF
the town Of Cut Bank were walking
on the clouds. We, for one, dropped
out OF the market entirely. We knew
that any quotation received would BE-
out OF line. so we thought it best to
stay away. After the first excitement
died down, some OF the farmers be-
gan looking US mp. One Of these
came to the office with the request
that we buy some of his royalty to pro-

Marking Seeks To De-
stroy 10Th Route Army
While Bribing Leaders

SHANGHAI, Jan. IA - Foochow,
capital of the Fukien province seces-
sionist regime, was occupied Satur-
day by Marking naval landing
party, while the 18th Route Army
withdrew, without fighting, toward
Changchow. Civilian heads Of the
regime fed in automobiles by way
Of Futsing.
The fall of the city was accom-
panied by the landing of marines
from U. S., Japanese and British
wsrships under the pretext Of pro-
tecting their nationals.
The Marking armies finally oc-
cupied Kutien and Mintsing, where
units Of the 10Th Route Army had
held up the Marking advance through
northern Fukfen, despite the waver-
ing attitude of the heads of the seces-
sionist regime.
Negotiations are under way for
liquidation Of the rebellion by bribery
of its leaders, who are offered high
positions and emoluments by the
Marking government. At the same
time, Chang Kai-shek, Marking die
tator, is using the situation to de-
stroy the 18th Route Army, which
has always been a weapon In the
hands Of rival war lords. The rank
and file of the 18th Route Army
also won Chiang's hatred by their
heroic defense Of Shanghai against
the Japanese in January 1882, in de-
f1ance of Chiang's orders. 1t is pro-
posed that the 10Th Route Army shall
withdraw to some point to be de-
signated by Chang and submit to
reorganization and inclusion in
Chhang's forces.

the Hitler program, Prof. Gold
schmidt points out:
Finance Capital Aided at Expense
of Masses
I'm regard to industry, the party
demanded that the State take over
all industrial enterprises already So
cial in scope-that is, trusts and other
large-scale concerns. Further, it de-
manded the complete confiscation Of
all wartime profits, hence especially
the profits of big business, which
earned most during the war.
up to now not one of the great
industrial trusts or the other big bust
ness undertakings has been acquired
by the State. True, sort of econo-
mic council was formed under the
direction of Fritz Thyssen, but it has
not carried on any Socializing. On
the contrary, hundreds of new in
dustrial cartels and trade associations
have been organized.
Confiscation Pledge Thrown Over
board
1.-THE workers in the factories of big
business have not been offered par
ticipation in profits. No mention has
been made by the Hitler government
Of any such participation. Just as
little has been heard of industry
wartime profiteering gains.
In the same way, the profits of
the epoch of the German revolution
and also the accumulations of hoard
ing and uSury' have not been con-
fiscated. These profits, once seized,
were to have been used for expanding
social welfare activities"
Conditions of PeaSantry WOrsened
Prof. Goldschnliot next contrasts
the worsening conditions Of the pea
santry under the Nazi dictatorship to
the Nazi promises to the peasants !:
I'm regard to agriculture, the Hit
lerite arty promised to carry through
great reclamation, conservation and
amelioration projects, since it con-
sidered the peasantry to be, so to
speak, the backbone of German
economy. Masses of the unemployed
workers were to be provided with
land, and by taking root in the native
soil were to be transformed into true
servitors of the National Socialist
State.

Japan To Use Pu-Yi
In Drive for Control
OF All North China
Foreign Observers in
Tokyo Stress War Plans
Behind Coronation

TOKYO, Jan. 14.-Foreign observers
here see the Japanese plans for the
coronation OF Henry Pu-Yi as "em-
peror" Of Manchukuo as camouflag-
ing the aims Of the japanese mill
tariSts to realize the infamous Ia
naka Document calling for the con-
quest Of China and war on the Soviet
Union and the United States.
The plans for a puppet empire"
are seen as cloaking Japan's aim for
hegeomony over North China. In this
connection, it is recalled that at the
time the Manchukuo puppet state
was proclaimed, Japanese officials
openly declared that Manchukuo
would probably expand peacefully"
as the masses Of North China came
to realization of the blessings" of
the hangman rule Of japanese i'm
perialism. Evidently the anti-im-
perialist masses of North China are
TO be helped by Japanese bayonets to
this realization, while at the same
time, the Japanese will undoubtedly
utilize the Sympathies of the North
China war lords and the gentry and
landlords for a monarchist regime.
THE public clamor" formerly al
legged as influencing the Japanese
plans is practically scrapped in favor
of the divine PLAN" with Japanese
and Manchukuo officials declaring
today that Pu vi had been unwilling
to accede" to the public clamor"
but has now received divine rev
elation" that he must ascend the
throne. Probably another divine
revelation" from the "Son Of Heaven"
in Tokyo will send Manchukuo troops
into North China under the COM
mand of Japanese officers, paving
the way with occupation Of North
China and Inner mongolia for
Japan'S planned armed intervention
against the Soviet Union.
