ELEANOR WINS OUT
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

Bridget had worked for his first
wife. She had been faithful and
satisfactory. He asked Bridget
to become his housekeeper and
take charge of the home and help
him look after the boy. But
Bridget refused. She said she
had good position that she
knew she could hold for life if
she wanted to. She did not care
to give it up. Then Henry in a
moment of dependency and help
lessness, had promised Bridget
that if she would be his house
keeper, she could have the job
for life. Under the circumstances,
Henry lcld Eleanor Bridget could
not be discharged. Furthermore,
Henry's son, too, was devoted
and loyal to Bridget. Thus Flea
nor found herself outvoted in her
own home in favor of a servant.
Had you been in Eleanor's
place, what would you have done
under the circumstance? Flea
nor's family when they heard the
story, advised her strongly to lay
down the ultimatum to Henry
that either Bridget would go or
that Eleanor herself would go.
But Eleanor was not that kind
of girl. She said she had serious
ly assumed the obligations Of
fatrimony, that she had taken the
marriage vows thoughtfully; so
she set to work to make the best
of a bad situation. She began a
campaign to win Bridget's friend
ship. She let Bridget do AS she
pleased. She conducted herself
more like a guest in her own
house than like it's mistress.
Bridget's health failed; Eleanor
took care of her. Henry and his
son, watching this exhibition of
fine character, found themselves
filled with nigh admiration for
Eleanor, Bridget herself began
to, swear by Eleanor instead of
to FsweaBf at her.
For three years matters went
along in that fashion. Then few
days ago Bridget died and Flea

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
FREAKISH

Grover Falls, our county agricultural agent,
made the interesting statement the other day that
Pasuuotank farmers this year will receive some
thing like $4,000 from the government for hogs
they did not raise this year, and will receive ap-
proximately $4,000 for corn they agreed not to
grow. <r. t.s It
Now. note the paradox in this, The govern
ment is, at present, feeding several million per-
sons who are on direct charity. The government
buvs side meat shoulder and other porcine prod
ducts and meal and other products with
which to feed these people Then this same gov
eminent turns around and pays farmers good
money in return for which they have merely to
sign a paper stating that they will not raise
certain number of hogs this year, and will not
GROW certain number of bushels of corn. In
other words, the government is paying farmers
not to produce commodities which the government
must purchase in order to feed the needy. This
is not price-pegging; this IS outright charity to
the farmers. To term this paradox is to put it
mildly. .. ,a, 49,.
Since the farmer is being paid fair price for
the corn and hogs he does not raise, why doesn't
the government stipuate that the farmer shall
raise the quantity of and hogs for which ne
is paid and turn the amount, produced over to
the government for distribution. 10 the Needy :.
Why pay farmer for not growing so bushels of
corn and then turn around and purchase 800
bushels of corn from him. g.. .-. t:-. 81.
They say the idea is to curtail production. and
thus boost prices of farm products. And it's an
idea that probably will work SO lorg as,t the gov
eminent can continue to reach into Uncle Sans
hat and pull bihon-dollar rabbits. But what will
happen when the government finds that it no
longer can afford to pay farmers both for food
they produce and for food they don't produce?
What will happen when the government is forced
to stop its rental and benefit payments to the cot
ton growers, nog-raisers and corn producers? En-
couraged by the artifeialy-stimuated high prices,
the farmers will plant more corn, cotton and to-
bacco, and produce more hogs than ever before,
and farm prices will return to depression levels.

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 11.-+(UP).
With Floridians busy predicting "a
banner 1s34-35 winter season, the
100000 residents of the other AT
states who own Florida property
may be interested to learn there's
an abundance Of opinion that an
other real estate boom is under
way.
Few Floridians are willing to
forecast any such frenzied specu-
lation as seized the entire state

astute observers are agreed that
current signs bear a strong resem-
blance to those in the Peninsula

NEWSPAPER SURVEY
A survey by Florida newspaper
publishers in connection with the
celebration honoring Col. Henry
L. Doherty for his leadership in
restoring Florida to prosperity,
reveals that big gains have been
recorded in virtually all fields of
activity. Basic, of course, has been
the mountaineering 100000, 900

ing from this have been the spec
tacular advances in building con-

THE EFFECTS OF EXPERIENCE

The more or less successful effort of Upton Sim
clair to crash into the present political situation
by means of party flop has some interesting i'm
plications. 60.
His nomination for the governorship of Cali
fornia on the Democratic ticket is very naturally
giving the conservative Democrats in that state
and elsewhere the jitters. ...
1t is apparent that he is not renouncing any of
his Socalistic principles, but is counting swing
ing the Democratic party and the State of Cali
fornia over into Socialism.
Probably the most notable instance of this in
America was Mayor George R. Lunn of Science
tady ,.,.-. ..-.
Lunn was elected mayor as Socialist, but soon
found that he could not be both good mayor and
good Socialist; and joined the Democratic party,
serving six years in that Office two years in con-
gress and two years as lieutenant governor of New
York. -
Among the notable statesmen who started out as
Socialists, but,who were made conservative ny
practical experience, have been Premier MacDon-
aid of Great Britain, Sir Philip Snowden, Albert
Thomas, Fresch wartime minister of munitions,
President Ebert of Germany, Clemenceau and Bri-
and and most notable of all, Premier Mussoni of
Italy. -. i.,,.'o a.. r.. -.. .-..
If by any possibility Sinclair should gain the
governership in California he would soon learn
something about government that he doesn't know
now, and which would be likely to still further
ALLEVIATE him from the Socialist party and faith

VTASHINGTON.--The penny pea.
Hnut bar has come to be one of
the more pressing problems here
end that's only a phase of the en-
tire peanut situation, which.is much
more puzzling and complicated than
you would suppose. ai
There is going to be a peanut
processing tax so as to fix up the
farmers who grow nearly billion
pounds of peanuts each year, most
of which go into those penny and
nickel bars for kids and other peo-
pie. Congress, you know, insisted
on declaring peanuts basic COM
modify.
Well, the plain facts are that
the penny bars are threatened
with extinction, because there are
just as few peanuts in them now
as our children will stand for.
The American peanut bar king
tells the AAA that the Youthful
consumers can tell to half pea
nut any cut in the peanut content,
whereupon they turn in disgust to
all-day suckers or something and
threaten the peanut bar Industry
with bankruptcy. 4
If peanut prices on tie farms
rise above $65 a ton, he sSys, you
simply have to put inSat least
one less peanut. Them goodby

Perhaps you'd also like 10 know
that the peanut magnat@ agree
that the number of salted COOLERS.
in a five-cent bag has beemcut to a
bedrock minimum and ff there
were any fewer the sailed peanut
business would go blooey ,too.
That's important, because a lot
OF us are going to be eating more
peanuts this winter whens we see
the prices of some other eatables.

When Henry and Eleanor re-

New Deal Is Issue
In Arizona Vote

PHOENIX, hriz, Sept. IL
UP). - Taxation, unemployment

imately 125,000 Arizona voters to
the polls today to pick nominees
for the post Of U. S. senator, con-
gresham and state offices.
There are two exceedingly in
teresting races for the voters to
decide. One is the office of SEN
ator, held by Henry F. Ashurst,
chairman Of the powerful judi
ciary committee and senior men,
Der from this state. The other is
the Democratic gubernatorial
fight.
1t will be purely Democratic
fight this year. The Republicans
have elected to remain on the out
side until after the primary.
There are two Socialist candi-
dates, one for senator and one
for congress, and one Communist
each for senator, congress and
governor.
In the race for the senatorship
Ashurst finds a formidable list of
political. foes.
In the congressional race, Mrs.
Isabella Greenway, the baby
states lone representative in the
house. will be opposed by Frank
II. Hilgeman, practically an I'M
known farmer. She seems to have
clear sailing.
In the gubernatorial race an
other Democratic battle is in the
making, with colorful men cam
