THE FATHER OF COMMUNISM

Editor Askov American: ...
Seeing l have been asked who the
Father of Communism was, l will tell.
The persons name was Nikolai Lenin,
who, if traced back, was a criminal.
Lenin died in January, 1924. His en-
balmed body is still preserved in a
museum at Red Square, where it is
on view. The brain has been in the
keeping of the institute with $50
adult, 300 child and 40 animal
brains under study.
1t is all very true there is much
suffering and grief on earth but many
people are making hell on earth for
themselves and every one they come
in contact with.
l have never found any place in
my Bible or was / ever taught in
Bible study that one could use force
to settle the troubles of earth. man
has made the evil and trouble
through sin.
The only way to win soul to
Christ is through love. The only way
is through love. God so loved the
world that He gave His only Son SO
that whatsoever believeth on Him
should not perish but have everlasting
life. The Bible tells us there are
two masters, God the Father and
We must love one and hate the other
and to love one we will serve Him.
If there are two masters to serve,
there must be two places for our flu
ture as hate and love can not get
along in the same place. Therefore
God has prepared two places for the
earthly people. If all the atheists,
people who worship idols and people
who indulge so deeply in sin, should
go to the same heaven God has pre-
pared for His people then there would
be the same trouble in heaven as we
are in today.
God has chosen many people who
are followers of Him to suffer, for
they are so patient; they bear their
suffering in His name so that many
of us can see Jesus in them that we
may take a lesson from them. We
could not appreciate the health and
bounties of life had God not chosen
some one who can suffer in His name
for US. Many of us think we are suf-
fering hell on earth but when we
look at Calvarys cross where Jesus
suffered then we have no right to
complain.
Every soul who believes in the
Lord Jesus Christ. regardless of what
church or creed but who keeps the
commandments, shall be saved.
Please read St. Matthew 25th chap
ter. what Jesus says of the last judg-
.ment.

EXAMPLE
(The st. Paul Daily News)

The semi-civilized Ethiopians seem,
in their blindness. to have hit upon
refreshing innovation in the matter
of government responsibility in time
of war
The emperor's war cabinet held an
important meeting the other day to
perfect final plans for repelling the
Italian invasion. And then, after the
meeting was over. the various cabinet
ministers trotted off to join the
armies and go to the front at the
head of their troops
What revolutionary idea this
would be, if a European or American
government should adopt it Cabinet
ministers might, just possibly. move
a little bit more slowly in the matter
of sending young men off to their
death, If they knew in advance that
every man jack in the cabinet would
have to go along and share the dan
ger with the humblest doughboy.

and are of an economic nature.
They are published in their en-
tirety herewith:

Sectional declamatory contests will
be held this year in February and
March. Due to the late start last
year, these contests came too late in
the school year and interfered with
other activities and closing school
work. Sixty-five rural schools took
part last year. We hope that every
school will be represented this year.
The real value lies in the training
and experience. To win contest is
only a secondary aim or objective.
Most schools offer local contests. This
is much the best, because more pupils
thus receive the benefits.
Word has just been received that

POLITICAL EFFECTS OF DROUGHT
FEARED AGAINST NEW DEALERS

WASHINGTON Aug. II. U,P)--
Belief that political effects of the
drought will be unfaVorable to the
Roosevelt administrator is express
ed by some observers who are
measuring increasing emergency
needs against funds available for
relief.
President Roosevelt shortly will
visit the drought area. His pres
ence in the Dakotas will dramatize
the fact of federal anxiety to as
sist farmers and farm commun-
tiles whose source of income is
shriVelling under rainleSs skies.
But drought sufferers probably
will base their judgment of New
Deal relief upon It's adequacy and
on comparison with assistance eX-
tended in 1884. The current drought
is judged by experts to be more
severe than that OF two years ago,
That is a matter of opinion. There
Is no doubt whatever Of the state
ment that the administration has
less money in sight this year for
drought relief than previously.
Congress was in session and able
to appropriate when droughts be-
came a serious problem in 1882.
The sum of $5OO,0O0,OO0 was voted
for drought relief. Approximately
half of that was spent to aid stock
men and to purchase cattle for
which there was no other market
than federal buyers. The balance
was spent on other forms of relief
Imperial Valley press., 1936-08-11

to farmers. There is no $225, ,000, 600
or $250,000,000 fund earmarked now
to relieve drought farmers.
If large sums beyond relief bud
get estimates are required 10 carry
farm families through the autum
and winter, much of the money is
likely to come from the $1,425, ,000,-
900 relief appropriation passed at
the last session of congress. And
any unbudgeted drought relief eX-
penditureS from that sum it is
argued, must be offset by curtailed
expenditures for other forms of re-
lief projects. If that viewpoint is
accepted as the correct one, the
administration could find itself in
the position of choosing between
adequate drought relief and made
quate relief elsewhere or spreading
the available funds tninly over the
whole country, which might mean
inadequate provision of all persons
dependent on federal aid.
Public Works Administrator Har
old L. Ickes has $300,000,000 most
of it unallocated, in revolving
fund. His projects however, are
supposed not only to provide jobs
but to be permanent, useful and SC
chosen as to increase employment
in heavy industry by consuming the
product of the latter in construc-
ton. That practically rules Ickes
idle funds out so far as quick
acting relief projects are concerned
or for drought doles.

MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY USES

The extent to which the manu-
featuring industry has availed it,
self of the Glass A provisions Of
the Modernization Credit Plan Of
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton, loans of more than from $4,000
and up to $4,000, is of interest al
this time. as year has passed
since this part OF the amended
National Housing Act began to
function.
The Housing administration itself
lends no money. All the loans
made under the Modernization
Credit Plan are extended by banks,
building and loan associations, and
other private financial institu-
tions. The Housing Administra-
ton insures these institutions
against loss up to 10 per cent of
their total modernization loans.
On May %, 1885, the amend
ment was passed which raised the
limit for an inSurable loan en- GER
tain classes OF buildings such as
apartment or multiple family
houses, hotels office or other COM
mercial buildings, orphanages,
schools, colleges, or manufacturing
and industrial plants. The pro-
ceeds of the loans to- these classes
can be used for the purchase anG
installation of eligible equipment
and machinery, as we'll as for re-
pairs. alterations and improve
mentS to the structures.
BY July |, 1885, the rules anc
regulations governing this portion
of the Act were put in operation
by the Federal Housing Admins
tration and loans were made i'm
mediately thereafter. Since thai
time and up to June l, 1886, the
Housing Administration reports
the insurance Of $30,804,377 of loans
under the $50. 900 provision of the
Modernization Credit Plan. o.
this amount, SIT per cent was used
for structural alterations and re-
pairs, and 48.3 per cent for the
purchase and installation of mach
inery Or equipment.

ceeded all other major types OF
improvements accounting for 1928

loans of this type The amount
of $9,963,959 is divided into struc-
tural alterations and repairs-9.6

Then just as sailing time arrived
the strikers refused to go to work
and gathered on the dock. Agent

MOVE STARTED
TO AID VALLEY
COTTON OUTPUT

Cotton once again may occupy a
dominant place among the profit
able crops of Imperial Valley. This
prospect took added assurance
Tuesday from the promise of F.. Z.
Richey, chief of the bureau of plant
industry, United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington, tina,
I'VE shall be glad to cooperate, to
the extent of our funds and per.
sonnel, in any constructive effort
that may be made to improve COT
ton production in Imperial Valley
This definite promise was given in
a letter from Richey to Rober;
Hays, secretary manager of the E!
Centre chamber of commerce.
Hays and the Ell Centro chamber
have been in the forefront of a
persistent fight to restore paying
cotton to the valley, and develop
a variety of cotton which woulo
give a minimum production of at
least one bale per acre. Some years
ago, short staple cotton was an i'm
portant crop in Imperial Valley;
but, within the last five or six
years, the acreage planted has di-
minished until it now is nearly
negligible, with only about 2,000
acres per year on the American
side of the boundary. The more
remunerative truck crops, in recent
years, have occupied the better
soils and have left the cotton tC
the so-called hard lands" Under
high temperature, yields usually
were low, with much of the fiber
short and weak in comparison with
other valleys. One of the chief
reasons for this was because the
Imperial Valley seed had run out,
and present low prices combined
with small yield made it an un
profitable crop.
