The Army turned out in
great form for the very de-
lightful tea given by the
Assistant Secretary of War
and Mrs. Harry Woodring
for the Secretary of War and
Mrs. George II. Dern, at the
Mayflower.
The young hostess looked
her loveliest, in an afternoon
gown consisting Of a black
satin skirt, made with a hip
length tunic of silver lame
bordered with stitching to
give a quilted effect, and
made with, the new draped
neckline. A soft girdle of
red uncut velvet tied at the
waist, with the ends falling
to the floor. She wore a
corsage bouquet of gardenias,
as did Mrs. Dern, who wore
a graceful gown of black
lace, made with wing sleeves,
and a little train.
The tea table, adorned
with a great silver gilt
bowl filled with pink snap
agons and blue iris,
thanked with candelabra in
which red, white and blue
tapers burned, was further
decorated with candy bas-
kets filled with iced cakes,
and pots in which a single
sunflower made entirely of
sugar grew. " These brought

Saturday emerging from her
car, in a long black wrap
with a caracul collar and a
black velvet tricorne with a
diamond clip forming it's
only trimming. The other was
Miss Mabel T. Boardman,
who evidently believes in
preparedness. She was also
wearing black when I saw
her, a wool coat with q sill
yer fox collar, and a small
black velvet hat. The for.
mer First Lady's umbrella
was a. full-size one, with a
gold knob, and Miss Board
mans had a long onyx
handle.
Mrs, Harry c. Ransley,
wife of the Representative
from Pennsylvania, is wear
ing a perfectly stunning
steel gray calling-costume Of
wool trimmed with clipped
gray krimmer. The beret
which accompanies it is of
gray felt, with an insert of

Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, a

Federation of Women'S Clubs,
and for 18 years president Of the
Chatuaqua Woman's Club of the
Chatuaqua Institution, an or
ganization of which Mrs. Roose-
velt is a life member, was pres
ent at the press conference at the
White House yesterday, and she
made a few remarks in a happy
vein, mostly to do with how
some of the papers had added
seven years to her age in recent
articles, and that, if this was
true, it would put her in the
eighties. She commented par
ticularly on what marvellous
reaction there had been from
the Chatauqua meeting held
here last week, which had taken
on the quality of a family re.
union for the members. In clos.
ing, she paid a glowing tribute
to Mrs. Roosevelt for her Splen.
did cooperation. Mrs. Penny
hacker has a very regal air
about her, with her white hair
exquisit ely coiffed, beautiful
blue eyes, and the most in
triguing dimples.

New Organizations

WITH THE avowed purpose of saving
NJ the AAA, new farm group is soil
citing Minnesota farmers for mem
berships at a minimum of 81 per man and
trying to build township and county units.
It is the League for Economic Equality"
with headquarters at Sioux CITY, Iowa.
In our opinion every effort to build a
new farm organization of this nature should
be discouraged. In the first place we doubt
if there is any serious danger of licking the
AAA. Meetings held Under governmen
supervision will sell the program, if that is
necessary, and farmers will give the admin
istration a big hand in the referendum. AS
far as the courts are concerned, if they GO
against this vote some alternative will be
found to save the program.
There is nothing a new organization
can do that old ones cannot handle. In fact
new groups in the field only complicate mat
ters and lead to rivalry and dissension and
make the dealings of farm groups with gov
ernment agencies more difficult.
Most other industrial and profession
groups have closely knit organizations, but
only one to a profession When the mem
bers become dissatisfied with the leadership,
they elect new leaders but there is no
thought of scrapping an organization in
which considerable time and money has a
ready been invested to start fresh and
eventually repeat the entire process.
Let's have farm organization-not

Hunting Courtesy

COME IDEA of the reserve power of our
-, armed forces will be obtained during
the pheasant season starting Saturday
when the fields and meadows will be over
run with gunners, experienced and neo-
phytes, out to harvest the best crop of birds
this vicinity has ever seen.
It is perhaps not out of place to remind
hunters, both local and from other sections
of the state, that as hunters they are guests
of farmers good enough to let them use
their land for the purpose. While few will
be refused who ask for permission, no land
owner can be blamed for wanting to know
who is climbing his fences and tramping
through his cornfelds.
We as business men welcome visitors
whether they come to buy or to visit, but we
would not stand for flock of nimwits firing
guns wildly about our place of business or
kicking the glass out of show cases, damage
no more serious than that done yearly on
many farms by the minority of hunters who
feel the gun under their arm gives them
every privilege.
Courtesy in an office or store may be
the mark of gentleman. But the mark is
misplaced if that same person exhibits
disregard for rights and property, for game
laws and the hunters of future generations
when he goes into the country for weekend
of sport.

Business Is Better
-HE OUTSTANDING success of

THE OUTSTANDING success OF several
recent sales events in which The Ga
1 zette has been the principal publicity
factor indicates clearly that this community
is on the outer edges if not entirely in the
clear of the depression period. 1t is not I'M
probable that the next few seasons will be
s'boom'' periods, followed unless the lessons
of the last cycle are remembered, by another
depression or panic.
People are buying again, and in unusual
quantities. Principal factor is that the ma
iority have money, not in large quantities
but at least something with which to buy
things they need and want. The quantities
in which goods are purchased are due to the
long period in which everyone got along
without or with repaired and made-over
goods, which now must be replaced
Principal factor in the depression as
far as this community was concerned was
the extent to which the average person be-
came involved in debts, many of which were
contracted at extremely high prices, and the
great depths to which the value of farm
products fell on glutted markets when pro-
duction scared and buying power fell off.
Two factors are largely responsible for
improved conditions: the return of prices
ranging from fair to high for farm goods
and the refnancing of Indebtedness SO that
interest and principal payments do not eat
up all of income.
