a man go in who 1 knew used to
be a Kluxer. If you have ever
had a fiery cross in the front of
your house, you would know how I
was scared that something like
that again was started. So I
thought I would try to stop it
with a letter to The Times.
1 am man enough to say 1 was
wrong. The Townsend Plan Club
in my neighborhood had another
meeting in the church and lot Of
women went in, so I knew it
wasn't anything like 1 thought it
was. I went to the meeting and
I am sorry I wrote anything like 1
did against it.
whereas the 5000 or a little less
certainly would and would help
business in general.
Where has Mr.. Cook been for a
while and just when did any one
ask for 5000 a month for old-age
pension. 1t was DR.. Townsend's
idea, and a mighty good one,
even if it is cut down little. I
am far from 60, but have sense
enough to know that it will bene-
fit the country in many ways"
a month SO they must spend it
each month and it will create such
business and prosperity we will
never know again what hard times
are.
1t surely will be a blessing to
this nation, as a 2 per cent tax on
national retail sales will not only
pay this 5000 but will put more
than one billion dollars in the
United States Treasury each year.
This will do away with all taxes
which go for charity.
If you are fair get a book and
read DR.. Townsend's plan on the
old age revolving pension, for your
statement shows you know moth
ing about it. want to state I am
not dependent on this plan for a
living, but am surely in favor of
it for my fellow-men, both young
and old.

I have been a subscriber to The
Times for years and always read the

have never seen a letter as narrow
minded as was written by the person
that didn't have nerve enough to
sign his name, but signed Sub

wrote that prohibition again should
be on the statute books. Maybe you
don't care to print this letter, but I

In answer to the statement OF
WV. Cook, I am one who does not
think your statement is even sane
or just. In fact you have no feel

greed for yourself. You should
have to live on your measly $25

you would like it. I suppose that
you are one who has not known

Chemists Warn Farmers
on Fertilizer Mixtures

Chemists OF the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture have been
making careful studies OF chemical
reactions In fertilizer mixtures to
be able TO warn farmers and manu-
facturers against undesirable com
bInations OF materials. Some COM
binatlons cause loss Of plant food
while others render plant food un-
available to crops.
knowledge Of such reactions has
become particularly desirable be-
cause OF the increasing use OF am
monlum salts as sources Of nitrogen
I'm fertilizers IN place Of more ex-
pendve nitrates and organic am
monlates. Because these ammonium
salts have n greater tendency 20
