CARD OF THANKS

We are taking this means of thank
ing the neighbors and friends who
were so kind to our family while our
boy. Clarence, was in the Gillette hos
pital for the past year. Especially do
we want to thank John Leier who so
kindly and generously made it pos
sible for my wife and me to visit the
boy every week. never failing to in
quire and insisting that we accom-
pany him. rather than being at our
own expense. on his trips to the city
trucking wood. John has been the
veritable friend in need to US and
he never failed. Also we especially
want to thank Raymond and Mrs
Haas who took care of our chores and
home while we were gone.

And many Of them aver that
unless the League can make a.
sensational settlement of the
alian-Ethiopian quarrel that
the United States will not only
never join but that other major
powers will abandon their mem
bership.
They point out that the Brit
ish press is leaning more and
more toward a move to have
that great empire step out Of
the League and refuse further
alliance with such coalitions.
The British people, also, they
say, are not pleased with the
workings, if such they may be
called, of the League.
In all capitals of the major
nations they say there is grotD-
ing opposition to this orgGnisG-
tion that is supposed to en-
gender 1DorId peace but has
actually Sho1D7t little reason for
continued existence.
They doubt that the League
will be able to preserve it's
face in the present crisis by
preventing additional unrest or
conflict.
Unless it can make a definite
showing they contend that there
is no reason for the further
existence Of the League and
that once and for all the ap-
peals of men like Pope of
Idaho, who advocate United
States entry, should be for
ever stifIed, although they ad-

the tax-ridden people of this
oppressed country are begin
ming to eat of the bitter fruits
of government of politicians,
by politicians, for politicians.
This spurious substitute for
government of the people, by
the people, for the people is
costing the household of the
nation every year nearly Is
thousand million dollars.
The largest public debt ever
saddled on the people of the
United States is one of these
bitter fruits. 1t will total be-
fore another fiscal year begins
SIS thousand million dollars.
This public debt has been
piled up by the political bosses
of $4,000 political units-each
with the power to incur public
debt.
These little governments,
established and dominated by
the politicians, extend from the
Federal city through 48
States, with 5000 odd counties,
$4,000 cities, towns and villages,
$4,000 school districts, 10000
townships and $4,000 other
political subdivisions.
HEAVY BURDEN
For years to come, one Stats
tician estimates, "the Federal
tax bill will be about five thou
sand million dollars, even after
the budget is balanced and the
beginning made on the retire
ment of the huge debt burden.
Another statistician finds that
the Federal Government now
has on it's pay roll "the largest
number of Federal employees in
peace-time history" and has
added 10000 to it's pay roll in
the last 20 months.
These additions do not in
clude the personnel of the
armed forces which the poll
ticians had reduced below the
danger level until they were
finally forced by public senti-
ment to begin their rebuilding.
Nor do these additions include
the deserving young Americans
who are doing useful work in
the camps of the Civilian Con-
servation Corps or the needy
farmers who have been receiv-
ing aid from the Treasury or
the war veterans who have been
pensioned.
The 165,000 whom the poll
ticians have added to the Fed
eral pay roll since 1888 are civil
employees in the Government

When a general accusation
