REVIEWED INTEREST
SHOWN BY BOYS
in AGRICULTURE

Youth, on the Eastern Shore, is
taking hold of the reins, the leading
lines and the plough-handles today
and if you doubt it, go to Keller Fair
the last week in August and be con-
WINGED.
Revived interest Gin the land" on
the part of the youngsters has been
definite for some time and the All
Club work and comparable and paral-
lei activities have been responsible.
The boys and girls are doing so many
things that some of their elders break
out into rash when they realize they
didn't think of them first. And, All
Club members, will "be on parade" at
Keller Fair.
So important has grown this phase
of this predominantly Agricultural
Fair, that a Special Trophy will be
awarded to the individual All Club of
outstanding merit in addition to the
usual premiums on entries in the BIZ
county representation.
Increase in the number of entries
in the livestock classes, from as far
north as Salisbury, Md, have made it
necessary for the Fair Management to
rent extra tents to house the animals.
All the judges, this season, will be
from V. P. 1. at Blacksburg.
1t is too early to announce what
"stars" will appear on the track but it
is known they will include several
"quarter-milers" credited with 81 SEC
onds. Real, honest-to-goodness "Fair
Music" is assured by the contract with
Major Lees Royal Missourians, one
of the best known bands now touring
the country.

CHINA CLIPPER

Travellers who are searching for
a real thrill can find it by soaring
over the blue Pacific to the Philip
pines in one of the giant flying
Clipper ships.
Regular transpacific seaplane
passenger service has brought
these picturesque islands Of the
Far East into the travel limelight
once more. Now travellers, who
once longed to visit the Philip
pines but couldn't because they
didn't have the time to make the
trip by ship, can fly there in COM
fort from the Pacific Coast in a
few days.
The vast archipelago of more
than 1000 islands, with a popula-
ton of approximately 100000,
is a colorful mixture of the past
and present.
Manila, capital of the Philip
pines, is a study in contrasts.
Travellers who are looking for the
picturesque will find it at Intra-
muros, the walled city, with It's
narrow streets, overhanging bal
comics, flower-filled patios, ancient
chapelS, churches, monaSteries and
converts and massive stone walls.
In contrast to these reminders

Stop Red Recruiting

A FEDERAL LAW prohibits the recruiting of Amer-
"A can citizens for foreign armies navies
It provides a penalty of three years imprisonment
and ST 900 fine for those who violate it.
Yet it has been violated for months and is being vio
lated now and will continue to be violated UNTIL the
Federal Government ENFORCES it.
Recruiting of American volunteers for the Communist
armies of Spain has been carried on almost openly.
American fers have been hired here to fight for the
Spanish Reds and the fact that some of them have
back unpaid and disilusioned has not prevented Com
munst agents from seeking to recruit more
Nor has it prevented called American liberals
from trying to get around the law by recruiting skilled
American workmen for Communist shops and factories
in Spain.
Every American thus recruited releases a Spanish
workman for service in the Red armies.
The spirit of the law is thus violated effectively
If the American workman enlisted directly soldier
The shallow pretext that the Spanish Loyast govern
ment is DEMOCRACY has been used justification
by these ''iberals "-among whom is the recent Com
munist candidate for President Earl Browder.
Of course the Red regime in Spain is the arch foe Of
democracy, and in the light of its massklings and pill
lagings, the arch foe of CIVILIZATION.
But even that is beside the point.
The only concern this country has with the Spanish
civil war with any foreign war is to KEEP OUT OF
1T. and to KEEP OUR CITIZENS OUT OF IT.
That is the intent of the law forbiddng enlisments
abroad and that is the intent of the AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
And that ought to he the intent of the American GOV
ERNMENT. which preserve true neutrality by en-
forcing the law-not only against those who violate it
directly but with equal ricncss against those who vo
late it indirectly and IN PLAIN DEFIANCE of the pur-
poses for which it was passed.

THAT'S DIFFERENT

Although the campaign is over
it looks as though we are going
to keep on hearing about platforms
and such for some time to come.
During the debate in the House
over the stabilization bill recently,
Representative Hamilton Fish de-
clared:
eve Republicans have had a
lot of fun upbraiding Democrats
for not carrying out the prOvi-
siOnS of their own party plat
form in the past. What does the
Republican platform say about
this identical bill. 1t reads as
follows:
"'We will restore to the Con
greSs the authority lodged with it
by the Constitution to coin
money and regulate the value
thereof by repeating the laws
deIegating this authority to the
Executive"
At this point he was interrupted
by an assertion that the Demo
cratic platform said the same thing
and he replied:
II am not responsible for the
Democratic platform. They never
live up to 1t anyway"

-WILLTAM HARPER,
of South Carolina, in the
Senate, April II, 1925.
With the moral sentiments so
fervidly avowed by President
Roosevelt in his second inaugural,
all Americans worthy OF their cltl'
1enship must agree.
No less heartily will such Ameri-
cans subscribe to his declaration OF
faith in the adequacy of the Amerl-
can principles Of government to
guide and protect the American
people in the solution OF present
day problems.
This is the second time within a
month in which the President in a
state paper has gone to the defense
Of the American form of govern
ment as it was established $50
years ago. In his annual address
to the Congress on the state Of
the Union at the opening Of the
present session, the President no
less earnestly reaffirmed his faith
in the American way Of life as it is
protected and pointed by the
American form of government.
AVOWAL OF FAITH
It is safe to conclude that in
both of these avowals Mr.. Roose-
velt was speaking as the President
for the whole people of the United
States and not merely as the titu-
lar leader of the party in power.
This is because his opponent tor
the presidency at the last election
went publicly and repeatedly on
record to the same effect.
In his address of acceptance, de-
hvered at Topeka on the 23d Of
last July, Governor Landon
avowed his faith in the adequacy
of the American form of govern
ment, even after $50 years of It's
life, to protect the American peo-
pie in their inalienable rights and
to secure to them and their pos
terity the blessings of Liberty.
It is interesting to observe the
close accord of fundamental pur-
pose and ultimate goal that exists
between the recent declarations OF
the triumphantly reelected Presi-
dent and an earlier declaration OF
his defeated opponent.
Speaking from the State house
at Topeka on the 23d of last July,
Governor Landon thus concluded
his address of acceptance:
"In common with all my cOun.
trymen / look forward to the
America that is to be.
'It should be 4 Nation in
which the old wrong things are

that. We just won't make any
original estimate"
That's an appropriate sentl-
ment, too, for New Year preoic-
tions. All the soothsayers get IN
all their heavy-hitting at TINS
time of the year, and the fact IS
that they might just as well use
a crystal ball as their charts ana
indiceS.

TRICKY BUSINESS
Ever since man began to get an
inch or two UP above the survival
level. q look Of more than 1eW
days ahead has been tricky nust'
ness. Our continuous outreaca
for new energies and new teen
nioues has successfully upset every
prediction ever made.
Just at the start of the World
War, a Swiss scientist, writing
"above the battle" with great de-
tachment, proved up to the hllt
that Germany could not possibly
win a long war because she had
no nitrateS and the British navy
could bar her from the Chilean
supply. Her supply Of nitrates
did fail. but, all Of sudden, there
was the scientific magician,

BARRICADES

Inside the Capitol at every arch
way leading along the main CORR
dors, wooden barricades had been
erected with a doorway only big
enough for one person to get
through. In this way, the guards
cut off any chance for the gate
crashers to get near the President S
stand even if they did get into
the building.
An observer remarked that the
authorities must have thought the
British were coming again be-
cause they had barricaded of the

from the basement to the rotunda'

"It is In these aims and these
works that 1 vision the manifest
destiny of America.
Everything we need for their
realization we can find, 1 firmly
believe, within the principles
under which this Nation has
grown to greatness"
In his recent address to the
Congress, the President said:
Because all Of us believe that

ment can cope adequately with
modern problems as they arise,
it is patriotic as well as logical
for us to prove that we can meet
new national needs consistent
with an historic constitutional
framework clearly intended to
receive liberal and not narrow
interpretation"
ELOQUENT TRIBUTE
And again in his second inaugu.
raj, the President returned to the
subject in this eloquent tribute to
the American form Of government
as it was adopted a hundred and
fifty years ago:
This year marks the one hun
dred and fiftieth anniversary Of

which made us q nation. At
that Convention our fOrefathers

government with powers Of
united action sufficient then
and now to solve problems utter
ly beyond individual or local
solution ... Today we invoke

ment to achieve the same OBJ

In the light of these declara-
tions by President Roosevelt and
Governor Landon whittier will go,
in search of a leader, that noisy
minority in Congress which is now
engaged in an attempt to over
throw the Government Of the Con-
