Mothers and fathers, that your sons
graduating from college or tramping
the streets until weary seeking employ
ment, pray that an adequate pension be
passed during this session of Congress.
Act and act now in the interest OF un-
selfish patriotism Then the dawn of
a new day will break. Mines, mills and
factories will reopen at full force.
Homes will be remodeled. Materials
will be purchased. Farmers can sell
their products. Dependency will be
banished with the poorhouse in its un-
holy wake and we will march forward
again, a free people economically as
well as spiritually, to the tune OF the
stars and stripes forever, under the
splendid leadership OF that man who
lives for America and its welfare alone,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, u fearless
and peerless President.

insofar as the states match the amount,
A lower age limit is necessary for
two reasons: First, the Government
itself, in many instances, and many IN
dustries will not employ men above
the age of forty. Second, in many
hazardous industrial occupations the
life expectancy does not include sixty or
sixty-five years. The age limit should
be sufficiently low to embrace these
two classes.
Through the circulation Of a petition,
we held the last Congress in session
sufficiently long that a retirement sys-
TEN for Railroad Workers vas en-
acted. Put into operation in towns
where ~railroading was the exclusive
industry all of the unemployed railroad
workers were re-employed and men for
the train service were actually sought.
On the basis of that experience, is it
not reasonable to presume that a proper
pension, covering all industry, would
end the depression over night?
With the hope that springs eternal
in the Human breast" seldom is pro-
vision made against a non-productive
old age. Can you conceive a sadder

the poorhouse?

Public works, another fine plan, fails
fundamentally because once expended
the monies wend their way back into
the hands of the few. We must put
earning and purchasing power in the
hands Of the people permanently, not
temporarily. Then curtailment of pro-

scribe the policies in connection with
the schools. Mr. Donovan went into
the history Of the Independent Party
and said that it was created originally
10 prevent the Preparation Of real es-
ate schemes and the breaking down OF
wages.
Arthur Lehwalder, one Of the
;taunch Independent members Of the
Board, said that the victory, at the
polls Saturday, depended upon the
union members. 1T is the duty of the
union organizations to take an inter
st in civic affairs and to fight Tor
heir rights and to fight for the estab-
lishment of liberal ideas and prin-
ciples."
Francis McKelvie, vice president OF
the Trades and Labor Council, stated
that it was very essential that labor
get out and vote Saturday in order
that they shall maintain control Of the
schools. He described the records OF
both the Independent board members
and the board members of the Peoples
Party for years back and demonstrated
conclusively that the Independent ideas
were in accord with the times, that
this party far surpasses in its aims and
in its plans any party presented to the
people for consideration. Mr.. Nickel
vie remarked "the issue is clearly
whether the people of this community
wi. support their interests or the
selfish and reactionary interests of the
corporations The people of this COM
munity should be proud Of the accom-
plishments of the Independent Board.
1t was through the courage Of the
Teachers Union and the Silver Bow
Trades & Labor Council that the new
salary plan for teachers was presented
and it was through the courage and
advanced ideas Of the Independent
Party that the plan was adopted"

be scheduled in various sections in
Kent county some time in January
by County Agent Russell +. Wilson,
and those who are interested in this
commodity will be invited to attend
and hear this subject discussed. In
the meantime all farmers who have
been growing potatoes for market,
and who expect to produce this crop
for market in 1886 should prepare a
statement showing the potato acre
age, yield per acre, and the quantity
of potatoes grown for sale during
the years 1882, 1888, 1884 and 1885.
This information will be necessary
in order that each potato grower
may receive his allotment in bushels
for market in 1886. Potatoes pro-
duced for home use, however, do not
come under this Act.
In a recent announcement issued
by the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministTation, it was stated that any
potato grower whose average annu-
al sales OF potatoes during the years
1932-1935 were SO bushels or less
will receive a tax free allotment of
potatoes equal to such annual sales
under regulations for administration
of the Potato Act. Those trainers
who grow and sell potatoes over
their allotment in 1886 will be re-
quired to purchase tax stamps equal
to As cents a bushel. and all Pota-
toes must be sold in closed contain
ers in order to comply with the
terms Of this Act.

POTATO APPLICATIONS
WILL BE READY SOON
[Continned from First Pagc1

[COHtiHaed from First Pagcl
tion:
The number of acres planted in
1882 -3S-34-35, acres harvested, the
total production, the amount saved
for food and seed, the number of
bushels fed to live stock, wasted or
spoiled and the total number of
bushels sold and to be sold.
1t will make the filling of the ap-
plications easier if every grower
would review his potato history of
the farm so that he can readily ans
wer the questions when they fill the
application.
On the average the county has
about 1000 farmers who annually
grow 1900 acres with an average
yield of 80 bushels per acre.
In the first representative district
there are about 312 farmers growing
g of acre each with an average yield
of 126 bushels per acre
The second district averages about
81 bushels per acre, which are
grown by 4S9 farmers who have 6
CT an acre each
There are 231 farmers growing 6
Of an acre each in the third district.
Here the average yield is about "a
bushels per acre In the fourth dis
trict. the average acreage is 3 of an
acre with a "a bushel yield and
grown by 285 farmers. The average
yield in the fifth district is 70 bush
els per acre for the 233 farmers
who grow potatoes. Their average
acreage is 6 of an acre. The sixth
district averages IL acres for the
696 farmers who grow SO bushels
per acre. In the seventh district, 742
farmers grow 81 bushels per acre on
an average farm acreage 8 of an
acre In the eighth district the av-
erage acreage is C of an acre, the
average yield 80 bushels per acre
and 3O5 farmers reporting. The
ninth district has the same average
acreage per farm, averaging 65
bushels per acre and 235 farmers
growing them. The tenth district re-
ports that 4O3 farmers grow acre
each and average 1856 bushels per
acre.
In the first district 81 per cent of
the farmers grow potatoes: 989s in
the second: 499 in the third; 74@5
in the fourth; 4iq5 in the fifth; 94@5
in the sixth; 93c5 in the seventh;
9S% i'm the eighth; 62es in the ninth
and S19c in the tenth.
It will be necessary for all of
these potato growers who intend to-
market potatoes in 1886 to fill an
application for their quota. The de-
tails of the application and the Po-
tato Act will be explained at
meeting in each Representative
District some time within the next
few weeks. All farmers in the coun-
ty will receive notices of these
meetings. and it is hoped that the
majority of our 5G71 farmers will
attend one Of the meetings and
learn just what they must do and
how the act will affect them.
