Farm Bill Now Law

| UNITING debate by gag rule,
- the house adopted the confer
ence report on the administration S
crop control bill by vote of 263 to
l35 and sent it on to the senate,
which approved it by a vote of Sc to
81.
AS it came out of conference, the
measure continues, in an extended
and revised form, the existing soil
conservation program, providing
benefit payments to cooperating
farmers.
1t would control production
through acreage allotments on the
five principal commodities on the
basis of domestic and export needs.
In bumper years, marketing quotas
would be applied with penalty taxes
to enforce them if approved by two
thirds of the affected farmers in ma
tional referenda.
1t would set up an lever normal"
granary system by storing in bump
er years surpluses on which loans
would be made to the producers.
Through this medium the admins
tration aims to stabilize the flow of
commodities during lean years to
prevent consumers from being
"highjacked" into exorbitant prices
because of shortages.

DORIS E4;|]|{41
Daughters Sacrifice
Won't Make Devoted
Parents Happy.

DEAR DORIS DENE: I am nine
teen and for two years have
tried to help my parents who are
in financial need. / have not been
successful as my job just about sup
ports me. Now I am offered mar
riage by a much older man. He
seems to love me. I have nothing
for him but respect and some af-
fection. He can give me every
thing / need and also make life
different for my father and mother.
They are my chief worry in life. We
are a very devoted family.-Anne
Fl. F.
ANSWER-You can't make a de-
voted family happy and comfortable
through your own unhappy mar
riage. And no girl of nineteen can
marry an older man she does not
love and escape much disillusion-
ment and heart-ache before she is
through.
Other girls have tried the expert
ment you propose to make. It's
gone well for a while. The devoted
daughter in a glow of gratitude to
the man who is helping to give her
family the comforts they need be-
lieves herself to be happy. For a
few months she is contented merely
to know that her people are being
taken care of. Relief from an ever
present worry makes her spirits
soar and causes her to believe that
she has found life's truest happi-
ness.
But in another few months some
of her exultation dies down. Even
the most self-sacrifcing girl in the
world begins to want a happiness
more personal than that offered by
the spectacle Of her parents we'll
being. AS she learns to accept the
fact that the wolf Is now established
permanently at a respectful dis
tance from the door of the ancestral
mansion so her Joy in this fact di-
minishes and her demand for an
other kind of happiness begins.
1t is then that she begins to criticize
the man she has married; to realize that
she can neUer love hinl-and that but for
her first blind delight in sheer material
comforts, she ,Uould neper have been able
to stand him. All his faults are n,agnifed
in her eyes. Euen gratitude cannot keep
her from expressing her unfauorable
opinions bluntly. Because she is not in
lope she cannot make her benefactor
happy. And he shortly comes to
kno,o the bitterness OF being unioanted
except for his money-tOhile his young
inexperienced ,Uife struggles desperately
to conceal her distaste for an unloUed
spouse.
The result is sordid domestic mis-
cry. And it is inconceivable that
the parents of the self-sacrificing
daughter can find pleasure or happi-
ness in the comforts which have
been given at the cost of their
child's happiness.

This Is a "Drouth Year"

p ECAUSE Of early dust storms in
~ Kansas, Oklahoma and parts of
the Texas Panhandle, 1888 already
is called "drouth year" by grain
men. The weather in those regions
is being closely watched by traders
in the United States, Liverpool, Win
nipeg and Buenos Aires.
Grain experts of Chicago reported
that present conditions of soil in
much of the territory from west
Texas to Nebraska is such that light
rains quickly would break it down
into powder, easily blown by high
winds. Only extremely heavy rains
could prevent such blowing.
Oklahoma wheat is much below
that of last year at this time. The
western half of the state was re-
ported in serious need of moisture.
Dust storms have seriously dam
aged wheat and done further dam
age to the states topsoil. The CEN
trail section, too, was reported in
need of moisture.
In all these states producers,
grain traders and elevator men
agreed that only part of the winter
plant in each state would come to
harvest should the much-needed
rains fail to materialize.

lets act in relieving the distressing

ing sore throat is utterly amazing
and the treatment is simple
and pleasant. This is all you do.
Crush and dissolve three genuine
Bayer Aspirin tablets in one-third

head we'll back.
This medicinal gargle will act
almost like a local anesthetic on
the sore, irritated membrane of

rawness is relieved.
You will say it is remarkable.

a big saving over expensive throat

Jap Refusal Starts Race

Japan having fatty refused to re-
- veal her naval building plans, it
is believed that the greatest navy
construction race ever seen is about
to start, and the United States may
feel called upon to take the lead,
with England, France and Japan in
the competition. Our government
told Japan that a refusal to divulge
her intentions would be regarded as
confirmation of reports that she was
constructing or planning super-war-
ships, so now, according to some Of
ficials in Washington, we will have
to invoke the "escalator clause" of
the London treaty and build larger
and more powerfully armed battle
ships.
The President may be expected to
order increase of the three battle
ships now planned from $4,000 tons
each to $4,000 or $4,000 tons, and
such dreadnaughts probably would
carry 18-inch guns.
In order to obviate the restric-
tions on the size of battleships that
"lOtll VI lllS
canal locks and to minimize the con-
tingency of interruption of coast-to-
coast communication through de-
struction of a Panama lock by an
enemy, the administration is pre-
pairing to push the project of canal
through Nicaragua.
Congressman who fear the Presi-
dent is plotting the nation into war
with Japan made probably futile
moves to prevent our government
from joining in the rearmament
race. Senator King of Utah and
Representative Maverick Of Texas
introduced resolutions authorizing
Mr.. Roosevelt to call a world naval
limitation conference, which Japan
has said she would be willing to
attend.
Though Secretary Hull had de-
MED that there was any understand
ing with Great Britain and France
concerning Japan, opponents of the
administration were still suspicious
that it was planning joint action.
Representative George Tinkham of
Massachusetts, voiced their senti-
ments when he uttered warning
that "every day brings the United
States nearer to war with Japan
as planned by Great Britain to fur
ther British interests"
This view was shared by the
Tokyo press, which charged that the
controversy was brought on by a
secret naval understanding among
America, Britain and France, and
that the demand made on Japan
was engineered by the British to
involve the United States in diff
culties with Japan.
Hearings by the house naval af-
fairs committee on the Presidents
big navy program went into the
third week, with opposition dwin-
ding as a result of Japan's unfa-
vorable reply to the request for her
intentions.

Steel Price Cut; Wages Stay

M AYBE President Roosevelt was
AVA right when he said recently
that steel and other mass produc-

at the same time maintain the gen.

This huge corporation extended
indefinitely its working agreements

Organization in which present rates
Of wages and the eight-hour day are

industry-was reduced 81 ton, the
