A Man of Distinction.

One of the fascinating attributes OF
Father Coughlin is his ability to draw
fine distinctions. After his disreSpectful
reference to President Roosevelt, in
the heat of the Townsend convention,
had provoked criticism and Father
CoughIin voluntarily apologiZed, he
made the penetrating observation that
the President of the United States was
also a candidate for the highest office
In the land, thus drawing the fine dis
tinction between Presidents and candi-
dates. When a Rhode Islander offered
to take up Father Coughlin's offer to
bet on the showing of Mr.. Lemke IN
Rhode Island, Father Coughlin pointed
out that the money he was wagering
was not, of course, his own, but was
to come from those who had promised
to contribute q dollar apiece by raising
their hands. And when informed that
such wagers were unlawful, he grace
fully WEIGHED by citing the law.
But in Cleveland last week he rose
to rare heights in the arts of drawing
distinctions which showed him for the
rare man of judgment that he is. When
objection was raised against violation
of the sacred precincts Of the Union for
Social Justice by guest speakers, such
as DR.. Townsend, Father Coughlin
cleared up all sources of possible mis-
understanding by pointing out that the
speakers were not addressing regular"
sessions of the union, but ''recess" meet
ings-one of the happiest solutions of
a knotty problem on record anywhere.
And probably the most mastery stroke
of all was in the distinction between
Endorsement OF Mr.. Lemke and Mr..
OBrien, the candidates of the Union
party, and Endorsement of the Union
party itself. 1t was made plain that
the historic action of the National
Union for Social Justice was confined
to the Endorsement of individuals, not
parties. In marking up ballot, Father
Coughlin's followers knew exactly what
to do and what not to do.
Such discriminating leadership is a
rare sight in confused and muddled
world. One feels that while Father
Coughlin is doing the shepherding, no
lambs will go astray. And that fact
makes more unexplainable. the mysteri-
GUS conduct of that rugged individuaist,
Mr.. John H. ODonnel of Pittsburgh,
whose lone mo" doomed out-twice-
against the otherwise overpowering roar
of cheers and shouts as Lemke and
O'Brien received the Endorsement of the
convention.
Father Coughlin, Ct course, was able
to explain this phenomenon by pointing
out that there were s,153 delegates at
the convention and Mr.. Lemke and
Mr.. OBrien received the Endorsement
of 1852. The reason for the refusal of
Mr.. ODonnell to join the majority was
that Mr.. O'Donnell labored under the
impression that he, Father Coughlin,
was a follower of Mr.. Hearst and the
Liberty League. AS Father Coughlin is
not a follower of either, being, as a
matter of fact, the ''hrst to inpugn the
Liberty League" the reader is left with
the impression that Mr.. ODonnell'S
booming mo" was, as a matter of fact,
laundering yes" The police escort
furnished to Mr.. ODonnell was merely
a formal and touching gesture; old
fashioned, 100 per cent American hos
pitality,

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
A Cool Evening.

With skies as black as midnight
A storm wind from the North
Cold waves of rain sends forth
Against the window paneS,
And as the daylight wanes
Dark comes with no twilight.
Love, draw the curtains close,
Light all the lamps again,
Shut out the driven rain,
And in the roSeate glow
Sing songs we used to know
Sing Of the red, red rose.

The dairy goat industry has
never been developed to any great
extent in this country. In many
of the thiekly populated countries
of Europe the milk goat is a source
of milk supply where the farms
are not large enough to support
the family cow as is used IN TINS
country.
We have never had many goats
of good breeding so as to furnish
foundation stock for herds IN the
country: however recent lmporta-
tions of goats has grown consider
ably and we can secure stock OF
good breeding with which TO start
herds. The industry is now very
small but is a faSt-grOwing indus
try because many people need a
small amount of milk for family
Use where space would not permit
them 10 keep 4 COW. Goats will
consume lots of feeds not relIShed
by dairy cattle.
Goats. like dairy cattle produce
according to the individual and
the care and attention gwen. Our
common goat NAV produce two to
four piutS daily for several
months. while the pure-brcd nigh
producing dairy goat will yield
fou. 10 six quarts of milk daily
fo,. : to 10 months after freshen-
inc. This being considerable more
milk per pound of body weight
than the average COW will pro-
duce. and the milk is superior IN

ELECTRICITY
MORE NEEDED
upon FARMS
Individual Generators Run
by Farm Streams Are
h Often Feasible
BY E. T. FRISBlE
Vocational Agriculture Instructor


At this time much effort is be
ing put forth to bring electricity
to the farm. The federal govern
ment has spent many thousands OF
dollars for the establishment OF
rural power lines to bring com,
forts and conveniences to the
farm home.
| Electricity can be made more
useful in the farm home than in
the city home. Where power is
available the housewife may have
the convenience of electric wash
erS. running water, irons, churns,
and many other hard tasks around
the home are lightened by our
new farm hand, electricity.
There are some thinly populat-
ed sections of this county where
it would not be feasible to con-
struct power lines as the revenue
derived from the lines would not
be profitable to the owners. Many
farmers in these sections may
make their own electricity by har-
Messing their streams on their
farms in practically the same way
their fathers caused the streams
to grind their corn into meal.
A home power plant need not
be elaborate or complex. | know
several home power plants in this
and other western counties that
operate directly from the gener-
ator This type of plant can be
made more efficient and conven-
lent by the addition of a set OF
storage batteries. Unless you have
the storage batteries, service can
only be secured when the gencr-
ator is operating.
The installation Of the simpler
form of home light or power costs
will vary with the individual and
the location. A man who is handy
with tools can make his own
wheel, and can install the plant
himself without great expense.
The cost of the generator will be
governed by its size and cond-
ton. The generator should be no
larger than the wheel and the wa
ter supply will operate success
fully. .-...-..----.,,,,.. .. 60, -
Anyone who is considering the
installation Of one of these home
lighting and power units should
give the subject careful study and
consideration before building. A
careful study of the situation will
enable the farmer to determine
whether OF not his place will be
suitable or not. Anyone who is
interested in setting up a home
power or light plant should con-
tact with their agricultural teach
er or county agent to secure in
formation and help on their spe-
cial situation.

Insects Begin Crop. Rayages
DESPITE Severity of
/ Winter on Pests age

WASHINGTON, Jupe 2, CUP,
With the ADVENT Of, Spring, crop
insects have begun their annual
destruction throughout the nation,
according to the bureau OF en-
tomology and plant quarantine OF
the agriculture department. ...r
Reports received by the bureau
reveal that, due 10 the severe
winter some pests have been slow
ed up considerably, but others
have been little affected and are
appearing in large numbers.
TREE FOLIAGE IN DANGER
. The eastern tent caterpillar
gives every sign of repeating It's
last years .defoliation of trees in
New England and the Middle Al
lantic, South Atlantic and Mis-
siSsippi Valley states.
The foul-Spotted tree cricket
wrought such damage to raspberry
bushes in the Lewiston district of
Idaho that control measures be-
came necessary.
The Japanese beetle, for the
first time since discovery in the
United States, suffered winter
losses in few places in the ter
ritorv first infested by the pest.
Chinch bugs in Oklahoma and
other parts of the Middle West
were considerably depleted in
,,,,,,Lerc nv thp cold winter
weather.
Broods of hessian flies were re-
duced by the hard winter, but the
early fall brood, now infesting
wheat fields in Southwestern Kan
sas, has not been retarded.
MORMON CRICKET ACTIVE
Other important cereal crop
pests now active are the Mormon
cricket, which began Matching in
enormous numbers in the latter
part of April in Idaho and west
ern Montana; the army cutworm,
seriously damaging alfalfa and
small grains in Oklahoma and
Colorado and cotton in Texas;
and wireworms, present in alb
normally large numbers IN the
state of Washington.
Adults of the YirewOrm, ac-
cording to the bureau, have been
damaging fruit buds in Califor-
MIA. Apple aphids, though scarce
in the Pacific northwest, are more
numerous locally than in the
northeast than for the past few
years. The codling moth is well
along on its new life cycle in
Delaware, Georgia, the east CEN
trail states and in the Great Basin
region. The oriental fruit moth
has been observed in normal num-
bers in Delaware, Virginia and
Georgia the bureaus reports
showed.
