Number Families
Now Receiving
Government Aid

Cecil Allen of Jasper County,
Missouri, with a wife and ten small
children, found the road to rehabi-
litation on a farm which the local
relief administration rented for
them at 81 a month, and now the
Federal relief administration is
pointing to them as an example
that it hopes will be multiplied
some hundred thousand times in
other States.
The oldest Allen child is now IS.
The tenth child was about to be
born, and the family was being
evicted from their home in Joplin,
a year ago, when the relief office
found them. To cut off their last
source of healthful food, the fami-
ly COW had gone dry for lack of
fodder.
Two dollars a month from the
relief administration persuaded the
owner of a 40-acre tract to let AL
len work the land, but there was no
house. Three tents were put up
by the relief workers. one of them
with board walls and floor. With
a team loaned by his brother, Allen
worked the tillable portions of the
land in garden truck and corn.
After feeding so chickens which
the relief administration provided,
he had more than enough corn for
his cow, and managed for a second
one On credit. A second brother
loaned him two pigs who fattened
on the remainder of the corn. Mrs.
Allen canned 500 quarts of garden
produce.
The tree tents were replaced by a
three-room house which the relief
administration bought in the fall
for $40. Allen moved it to his

No Waste Feed
WhenISiIo Used

Corn and other feed crops lose
only a very small part of their
food value when stored in silos as
compared with a Is to IS per cent
loss when the same crops are
shocked and fed in a dry form.
This heavy loss of dried crops
is due largely to weather deterio-
alton and waste at feeding time,
says John A. Arey, extension dali
ryman at N. C. State college.
He pointed out that silage is
the nearest approach to good sue
culent June pasture that farmers
in this state can grow for winter
feeding. 1t is also an excellent
supplement- for pasturange in dry
weather.
Either corn or sorghum a be
used for silage. Usually sorghum
will produce a larger tonnage and
more nutriment per acre, but corn
is generally preferred by most
dairymen. Sorghum is easily blown
down and is harder to harvest in
that condition.
Parmunskey and Eurega are the
two leading varieties of corn used
in this state for silage. The pro-
life varieties are also used by many
dairymen who desire a larger per-
centage of grain than is produced
by the silage varieties. japanese
seeded ribbon cane is one OF the
best varieties of sorghum for Ii
,lage.
The best time to plant corn or
sorghum for silage is between May
IS and June IS. Later paintings
are more subject to drouth.
The advent of the trench sllo
has made it possible for owners of
small herds to profitably provide
their cows with succulent winter
feed. Three or four tons should
be preserved for each animal. On
the average corn will produce a
ton of si1age for each five bushels
of grain.

land and rebuilt it with SIS worth
of relief bought material. 1t is
now a good home, and is thanked by
his newly built cellar and we'll and
large cow-shed made of logs.
Last winter, as in pre-depression
days. Allen was able to take care
of his wife and ten children with
out direct relief, obtaining a small
amount of cash weekly by work On
a CWA project. His oldest girl
was placed in high school in a near
by town. She and the other nine
are rosy-cheeked and healthy for
the first time in years.
This case is one of a number re-
ported to Mrs. Ellen S. Woodward,
Director of Women's Work in the
FERA, by Mrs. Charley Tidd Cole,
Director of Women's Work for the
Missouri Relief Administration.
"There are hundreds of thousands
of farm families who need a lift
more or less like the Aliens receiv-
ed" Mrs. Woodward said. each
case may need different treatment.
Our instructions are to get the job
done, whatever it takes, within the
limits of our financial resources"
When Lee D'Aubion of Joplin
unloaded two and a half barrels of
cucumber pickles at the warehouse
of the local relief administration in
Joplin not long ago, it was in re-
payment of seed and groceries which
had enabled D'Aubion to make the
pickles. On top Of paying his OBJ
legation to the relief administration,
he also paid part of the interest on
his farm mortgage and all OF the
back taxes that had been delinquent
for several years, according to the
report made by Mrs. Cole, who
quoted the case as one of a number
exemplifyng the varied means in
destitute families may make
repayment after they have been
to become self-sustaining.
and thereby removed from the re-
lief load.
During the winter of 1888,
groceries were furnished D'Aubion,
for himself, his wife and two small
but now they are sup
Piled with canned and dried food Of
own production, and with
feed for their team and their COW.
Out Of the $3.50 a week which
was paid on a WI job,
they saved $40 a week.
A second Government agency
has entered into the case with the
refinancing of the mortgage On the
D'Aubion's 20 acre farm.

Hindenburg.
(New York World -Telegram)
who knows?


 Paul von Hindenburg more than man. He was a symbol Like the ancient gods of his Teutonc forefathers, he represented a race. Long before death he had become heroic legend for two generations.
 To separate fact from legend man from symbol, is impossible. Nor is the effort important. For the thing that has profoundly influenced German history is not what he actually but what his people and world thought he
 Perhaps history presents purer paradox. Hin Idenburg mliitarist of the militarsts and pride of the Junkers, became hero by losing war and an empire. Hindenburg arch-monarchst, became the idol of the republic
 Then-paradox compounded-the monarchist who had saved the republic from destruction by its monachist enemies and his monarchist friends threw it to the Nazi wreckers and tried to bless the ruins by retaining office President.
 Until the last humiliating months this was the saga of mighty in the simple virtues Of courage loyalty and personal honor; of one limited in vision but pure in heartl, What happened when he stepped out of character and went along with Hitler is obScured by the fog of Naz propaganda and the prlsonke isolation of his country retreat. ! Maybe hisory's verdict will be that the eyes oi the weary giant had too much of strife, ths great heart leaped often to the call of courage that he who bent before the Nazi weddings was not von Hindenburg the idol, but an enfeebled ole man waiting for the grave.

 The retirement from Congress Of Representative Black of Brooklyn suggests once more that It IS dangerous for public men to be as funny as they can In some respects MT Black had the brightest and certainly the most truly satirical mind in the House He was active in serious legislation Yet ne never made the impression, so far as influence ana constructive lawmaking is concerned that was maoe by a number of Representatives who were too ouli or too wise to be amusing
 Private John" Allen of Mississippi delighted the House and the country with his sallies, and is re- membered for them. But he never attained great influence After the dgnified Kentucky jurist' Proctor Knott indulged himself in his famous Duluth speech" the House forgot his learning ana serious purposes and demanded that ever therealler he be entertaining. He quit Congress Tn disgust and retired to the isolation of Kentuckys highest court Probably MT. Black had these examples Ill mnid and preferred to himself and his auditors and let others do the leading. At any rate he could not or would not, refrain from such remaks as: Lincoln split rails Hoover splits hairs "The Brain Trust have got brains; they're on the Government payroll where the politicians can't get And this gem about the Wckersham Commission

WELCOME TO THE ARMY PLIERS.

Juneau for the third time in less than three weeks is privileged to extend welcoming hand to a group of wearers of Uncle Sams uniform. Two weeks ago it the Navy Submarine squadron. Last week Navy fliers visiting. Today it is the turn of flers of the Army to be greeted These men have performed small feat since they hopped off from Washington, D. c., on July l9. They have made mass flight little known terrain, land- ing on fields which almost information was available, and in addition to traversng thousands of miles, have charted many thousands of square miles from the air, mapping in one day more than 5000 square miles, record for that kind of work.
 That is the sort of achievements Alaska has come to expect of the Army Officers and men conducted most of the early explorations in this Territory after it passed under the American Flag. Upon their data and notes maps were largely based In later years they built telegraph lines and operated the communications, laid submarine cable lines, erected and operated radio stations, built roads and trails and performed other services of inestimable value in the development of our resources
 We hope that the present Army flight to Alaska presages the establishment of air bases There should be both Navy and Army air squadrons sta- toned here the year around getting acquainted with flying conditions, studying land and sea routes and otherwise familiarizing themselves with matters which are vital to the defense of the whole Pacific Ocean Whether this in the minds of the Army and Naval authorities when they authorized the Alaska expeditions this Summer, of course, is not going to be revealed by them. It is gratifying to all Aaskans that they were made whatever the reasons for it.
 Juneau is glad to welcome the Army fliers Local residents want their visit to be as pleasant to them as it is to the people of this city. The keys to the city theirs for the duration of their stay and the latchstring will be out against the day Of their return.

COST OF THE NEW DEAL.

With profane emphasis, Candidate Frank H. Foster at the Republicans opening campaign rally at Douglas last Monday evening, termed the Roose- welt Administrations New Deal wild and rotous orgy of spending That is the major criticism adopted by the Republican National Committee for the issue in the current campaign. MT Foster Is properly following the strategy of the high command of the G. O. P MT. Mccain appearing on the same platform with him. less orthodox in his remarks and graciously approved of any of the Presidents policies that benefited the people,. He refraned however from giving specific endorsement to any particular policy or to the New Deal whole.
 There has been lot of hullabaloo raised over the cost of New Deal While it is true MT Foster didn't speak in terms of dollars, his party leaders have done so specifically Possibly his mathematics failed him.
 dollar is neither more nor less than measure of value. A governments debt problems are little different from the debt problems of farmer, business man manufacturer. farmer doesn't reckon his debt in dollars but in bushels of wheat or corn or bales of cotton manufacturer reckons his debt in the finished goods he produces merchant in the merchandise he offers for sale So, too, musta government reckon its debts in the terms of commodities produced, which, in the final analyss constitutes the wealth of the Nation
 Perhaps the most accurate way of comparing the debt burden before the New Deal with the debt burden of today would be to make computation based on the wholesale price indices then and now But that is mathematical task of appalling pro- portions Another interesting comparison could be made by weighing the public debt Of eighteen months ago with the income of the people Tn the last year of the Old Deal and comparing 1t to similar computation showing the ratio that exists between the public debt of today and the income of the people in the first year of the New Deal. r3ut that also is a tough statistical task.
 However there is simpler way to measure the ,r,,,;c debt And that is in terms of commodities
 How many bushels of wheat would have been required to pay the public debt in March, 1853 at the birth of the New Deal? How many bushels vrmald be required to pay the public debt tooaye raow many bales of cotton? How many oarfeis of oil? .t,.s,s
