GRANDMA'S
SCRAP BOOK
L l. S
THREE MEALS A DAY
Contributed by Mrs. L. /. S. Rogers

A man can't live ON love alone,
A man cant live ON thought;
A man can't live on liberty,
Nor odds how dearly bought
All these are nothing to a man
don't care what you say
Unless he manages to get
Three good square meals a day.
A man can lose his pile entire
And never turn a hair;
But if the ham and eggs are cold
There's birthstone in the air
A man can lose his hair and teeth,
And friends and still be gay,
If he is fixed so he can get
Three good square meals a day.
A man can wear a smiling face
Above a broken heart;
A man can grin and bear the pain
When fondest hopes depart,
The only thing that downs a man
And puts him out to stay
Is separating him for keeps
From three square meals a day.
Now some want gold, and some want
fame,
And some want liberty;
But all mankind in ev'ry cline
On one great want agree;
For be they slaves or emperors,
Young lads, or sages gray.
There's not a one of them but wants
Three good square meals a day

OUR WANDERERS
BY Arthur Ward

Go home and see your mothers
boys.
Her sun is sinking low;
It's rays are reaching out before
To meet the heavenly glow.
Her soft brown hair is turning
white,
Her eyes look far away:
And slow the step and low the voice
That taught us how TO pray.
DO you remember. years ago.
When ends would hardly meet;
The hours she stole from needful
rest,
To keep your garments neat?
Just think of all her anxious care.
To make your life's road smooth
The only friend who loved you
through
The fOllies of your youth.
No wonder that her hands are tired,
That voice and limbs are weak;
No wonder that the roses left
Her round and dimpled cheek.
Such ceaseless, unrewarded toll,
Too soon the wrinkles brought;
Oh, boys. it makes me sad to think
How hard our mothers wrought.
Don't count your bankbooks up, my
boys,
And wonder would it pay!
Could money buy her smiles of joy,
When once she's gone away?
Don't think your priced possessions
came
Because you pinched and saved.
1t may be twas her blessings
brought
The dollars you have saved.
And when you go, don't worry her
About the cash it cost
Nor of the sacrifice you've made,
Or of the time you've lost.
Ii you would future years enjoy,
Just take your cherished store
And go and see your mothers, boys,
And trust the Lord for more.

Steel Code Cited As Example

The majority report reflected. the

code study.

vent price competition throughout
/ this industry"
! The board described as a subject
: open for argument" the question
of whether the recovery statute au-
thorized price fixing methods.
The fact is generally overlooked
or Obscurcd. but the small business
enterprise has often social i'm
pOrtance out of proportion to its
size. since il is often the consumers
sole barrier against complete. grasp
ing and irresponsible monopoly
the report said.
What is called a 'chiseler' like
wise may not Ilways be the public
enemy he has Deen represented. In
stances arise where he is seen to
be struggling to prevent the total
absorption of an industry or inter
est into mOnopOlistic organization
or chain against which the public
has no other protection.
The opinion, therefore, is forced
upon us from what We have heard
so far that fair competition is
merely a resoandins and illusory
phrase
What the powerful producer
calls fair. his weaker rival fiercely
denOunces as most unfair and there
is no way to reconcile the differ
ence
"All competition is savage and
can be nothing else. One may as
well dream OF making war lady
like as Of making competition fair
Big business begins by making
it impossible for the small man To
survive and after he is eliminated
ii turns upon the weakest of the
common aggressOrs."
NOnOpolistic practices were men
toned particularly in connection
with the steel and motion picture
industries.
OF the motion picture industry,
the board said:
"MOnOpOlistic practices in this in
dustry are bold and aggressive and |
its small enterprises are cruelty |
oppressed. II appears that the
code for this industry was made by
representatives of the large pro-
ducing companies"
OF steel. it said:
- "MOnepoistic conditions have
long existed in this industry. due to
its absolute control by the larger |
companies. This control is assured !
through the American Iron and /
Steel Institute. supposed to repre-
sent both large and small enter
pIises, but wherein as a matter of
fact the voting arrangements really
leave the small enterprise at the
mercy of the large.
The Federal Trade Commission
recently made an exhaustive study
of the steel industry and presented
a report that held it to be essen
TALLY monOpOlistic and unfairly con-
Quoted"
In the supplementary Darrow-
Thompson report. the statement
was made regarding mOnopolies.
that lin the immediate present the
Trade Commission is far
superior to the NRA as an enfOrc-
ing and fact finding agency"
ITO transfer these powers from
the NRA to the Federal Trade
Commission as a next step" this
report said. would help inform the
public as to the inherent difficultiGE
which arise from the position of the

SEES MONOPOLY BACKED
BY u. S. rs TREND OF NRA
CONTINUED From Page one)

ITO give the sanction OF govern
ment to sustain profits is not plan
ned economy but a regimented or
ganization for exploitation"
This, Johnson retorted. meant that
! choice was between Faseism and
Communism. neither of which can
! be espOused by anyone who believes
in our democratic institutions"
Darrow suggested that the way
for the public to find out the "dif'
ficulties which arise from the posi-
tiOn of the small man in the pres
ent stage of industrial development
was to transfer the investigatOry
work to the Federal Trade Com
mission. but to Johnson this was
only the way to destroy the indus
trial recovery program.
The NRA price fixing plan was
criticised by the DarrOw board.
which declared that prices should
be determined by competition rath-
er than regulation"
Sees Chlseler Protecting Public
The "chiseler" is regarded by
NRA as a menace to recovery. but
barrow said he might mot always
be a public enemy" he might rep
resent the only protection for the
public in some cases against mon
OpOlistic organization or chain.
And, said barrow, fair cOmpe-
tition was merely a resounding and
illusory phrase" all competition
was savage, wOlfish and relentless"
and could be nothing else.
The chief counsel of the NRA,
Donald r. Richberg, replied to that.
THE board" he said, "proclaims
"a return to the antitrust laws for
the purpose of restoring competi-
ton we believe to be one of the
great needs of the time

ilized nation should abandon any
effort to promote fair business
practices and should return TO a

Dismissal OF code Officials Urged
In the boards analysis of the in
dividual codes. it reported it had
found three instances which prOmp-
ted recommendation to President
Roosevelt that code officials or
agencies be dismissed. The board
recommended the dismissal of the
code authorities for the bituminouS
coal industry in northern West Nir-
ginia and the Pittsburgh districts,
including among its reasons "Op-
preston of small enterprises by
price fixing" 1t recommended. with
out mentioning his name, the re-
placement of Sol A. ROsenblatt.
deputy administrator for the motion
picture code, because of testimony
that he was "prejudiced against in-
dependent producers. distributors
and exhibitors" and on the ground
that he refused to testify before the
review board.
The majority report said:
Price fixing by the industry and
price regulation by the Govern
ment would involve. in our judg-
ment. practically the same difficul
ties. The problem of policing the
industry to prevent that price com
petition which the American public
has long relied upon to avoid the
evils of monopoly. inefficiency in
business and high price levels
would be insuperable.

And words both kind and true,
Let them quickly rise with action
To deeds of golden hue,

S2.OOO,0OO in stock in the concern,
against proposals to trade them out of
their stock in the company.
