COTTON LEADS
new CONGRESS-
FARM PROBLEM
'HiII' Machinery Is All
Ready for Gong
BY FRANKLIN G. sARTwELL

By FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
While the Capitol is anxiously
waiting word from President
Roosevelt as to whether or not
there is to be an extra session of
Congress, legislative wheels are al
ready grinding in anticipation OF
either a special session or the
regular term in January.
The perplexing cotton situation
will come under the microscopic
eye of a Senate committee this
week when a special subcommit-
tee of the Agriculture Committee
opens hearings at Louisville, KY.
Under Senator Cotton Ed" Smith.
The chairman, they I'LL start Fri
day.
KEY TO BARGAIN
Although cotton won't be the
exclusive subject under investiga-
ton, it will be the principal one,
since it was about the question OF
what to do with cotton?" that the
bargain was made by which the
President was assured agriculture
relief legislation at tn, coming
session.
Tobacco and other Southern
crops will be studied by Senator
Smiths group, which will try to
get down to hard rock and find
out Just what the farmer needs
and wants"
Another group of the Senate
Agriculture Committee is conclud-
ing an investigation of the West
ern farmers plight this week. No
indication has reached here yet as
to what the group, under Senator
George McGill of Kansas, has
found to be the prime need.
TWO BILLS LIKELY
Two subcommittee are ex-
pected to get together at Okla
homa City toward the end of this
month and map out what they
conceive to be the proper farm
program.
It seems that regardless of
what the Senate groups find the
Administration will present its
own bill and that, as a result of
President Roosevelt's show Of
strength on his Western trip, the
latter plan likely will be what Con-
gress will ultimately enact.
Members of the Senate and
House not directly connected with
preparation of the farm relief bill
already are at work on pet legis-
lative projects of their own re-

HANGNAlL

-
Hangnail Is one of the commonest
of human annoyances. At one time
or another every one of us has had
several of these nall apcesses,
after all is what these things are.
We usually ignore them and often
they disappear.
However, they occasionally de-
yelop into serious infections in the
finger which sometimes make the
finger useless and the infection has
been known to spread through the
blood stream and cause death. If
this infection spreads to both sides
Of the nail it Ia called a run
around
These things often develop at
ter a too energetic manicure es-
pecially when the cuticle has been
pushed back too far. Sometimes
they develop when the dead skin
around the edges Of the finger nail
are pulled off leaving raw surfaces
which become infected.
Again they may develop If for
some reason or other the finger is
skinned or the nail injured in some
fashion, and often they develop ap-
parently for no reason whatsoever.
In spite of the small size and ap-
parent insignificance of these in
fections they should be treated
carefully as they so often spread
and become extremely serious. A
distinguished surgeon has written

Y IE W s
BY THE OBSERVER

Rather than decide what consti-
tutes a Negro in New York, the
Court simply dismissed the case
on the ground that the alleged Col
ored couple had made substantial
improvements on the property.
While We were all looking for the
definition OF q Negro, the Court
found another way. 1t all goes to
show that money, property and
other things of value outweigh
light talk and baseless customs. A
$4,000 residence owned by that
black man, may make him white.
A large percent of this color stuff
when applied to us, is the lack of
or the possession of VALUE.
They say that Father Divine has
brought Heaven to Chicago as we'll
as New York. That speaks we'll for
Chicago if such is a fact. II Father
Divine continues to make the head
way here, he made in New York,
it will not be long before we shall
begin to look in another direction
for Heaven. The Bible says that
the Kingdom is at hand, and It
seems that Father Divine has at
least one Of those hands. We shall
be glad for our City and rejoice in
the coming of this good news.
Candidate Landon seems to think
that the President is all hot ON the
question of increasing the number
of Judges on the Supreme Court
Bench. If the gentleman had been
successful, he might have had an
other idea about it, but he was not
elected. 1t would seem to this writ
er that if he were Landon and had
found himself as far out Of time
with the American people as Lam
don found himself to- be, l would
keep quiet or follow Roosevelt as
did the people whom Landon was
trying to lead. Then too since Mr..
Landon is not governor and will
have no need to- seek large sums
from the President, he perhaps
does not feel the need of following
him now.
We are often told that such and
such a man Is far ahead of his
time and that is why people do not
appreciate him. That is nice state
ment or excuse to make for him.
No one appreciates an apple that
is plucked before it is ripe, and the
buyer or eater of it, can not appreci-
ate 1t because it is ahead of its
time. About the only advice we can
give in such case is that given in
the Bible, "You Must Be Born
Again" if you will ever suit the
time and be appreciated by the peo-
pie of their time.
"Joe Louis is not worth a damn"
in the opinion of Gov. Fred Cole of

Faint Radio Signal
Waning hope was bolstered a

Previous radio direction compu-

And reports from the mainland
