THAT DARNED PUMP
NEEDS FIXING
(OrOViIIe Mercury RpgiSlpT)

Well the administration has decided to prime
the pump again.
When we lived on the farm there was an
old pump attached to the cistern that had to
be primed every time it was used. Mother put
up with it for quite a while. but one day she
said to father. IF you don't fix that old pump
50 won't have TO prime it, I'm going to get
someone who will"
So father went out and got fresh piece of
leather, softened it up with some oil from the
toll shed got out his trusty pocket knife and
trimmed it just right, and fitted it where it
belonged.
After that there was no more pump prming
The pump worked fine.
Mix was money on the farm in those days
If father had been priming the pump with
milk mother wouldn't have stood for it as long
as she did.

Bruce Cation Says
- You Go to School to Learn

mind. the student mind, the ag-
gregate intelligence of the scholas-
tic field, absorb the emotional
colorations of the world at large,
and the characteristics of an entire
system become SO changed in time
as to make it unrecognizable. The
supposedly cloistered soul is after
all not quite hermetically sealed.
The values of liberal arts courses
in colleges as opposed to specialize
ed training, general courses in
high schools as opposed to techni-
cal courses, are the subject of con-
siderable dispute at present in the
light of their ultimate practical
benefits to the average man. But
that there is a place for both. E.
that the world needs men of
learning as well as men of train
ing. is undenied. Education as
an instrument whereby man may
enlarge the scope of his cultural
experience as a means to attaining
simply a greater degree of plea
sure out of life is also still accept
ed as one of the assets of a civiliz-
ed existence.
The opportunities of this kind Of
an education are in especial dam
ger of being abridged in periods Of
widespread international ill-will.
The availability of courses in for
eign languages, foreign literatures,
is particularly subject to destruc-
ton. You may remember the dis
appearance of high school German
courses 20 years ago.
The courses were not abolished
in some schools, but few students
took them where they remained.
You read now that the popularity
of German rose in New York's
schools after the war, to a post
war high point in 1884, and then
started going down steadily, and
is still going down.
Language is cultural asset,
whether Nazism is or is not. At
present the chances for German
look as if they're rapidly approach
ing the vanishing point. Will
Goethe be universally unfathom-
able in this country a few years
from now?
Wouldn't it be dandy for the
English language if the Americans
and British got to depising one an
other for a few generations!

Spring Primaries
Roosevelt Influence /.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHlNlIl ON SpIulS pt
maries are almost upon us and be-
tween now and late September the
voters and the politicians will NOM
mate candidates for the entire
House of Representatives, third
of the Senate seats and governor
ships in 33 states.
Democratic primaries are eXcit-
ing the most interest, since they
involve Mr.. Roosevelt's influence on
Congress and to a large degree the
control of delegates to the 1910 con-
ventionS.
The White House desire to
chasten its conservative opponents,
save the skins of its loyal favorltes
and replace anti-New Dealers with
Roosevelt men is involved in
various contests and as the cam
paign year wears on one is likely
to hear of sporadic attempts at
Republican Democratic coalitions.
Here's an outline of primary fights
to be settled in the near future:
ILLINOIS, April IL; Gov. Henry
Horner is backing Congressman
Attorney Mike Igoe, who is sup
ported by the Kelly-NaSh machine
of Chicago, for Democratic nomina-
ton to the Senate seat now held
by william II. Dieterich.
The Roosevelt administration
most spectacular part in this fight
has been its failure to back Diete-
rich, who has been loyal in the
pincheS.
Igoe is supported by Labor's Nom
Partisan League and reports reach
ing Washington indicate he has
the best chance. AS for Republican
candidates, Washington may or may
not get to know more about them
after the November election.
FLORIDA, May 3: Senator Claude
Pepper considered to be one OF
the few southern New Dealers in
Congress, is opposed for renomina-
ton by Congressman j. Mark VIII
cox and former Gov. Dave Sholtz.
Nomination is equivalent to cleo
ton.
James Roosevelt, the Presidents
son, recently endorsed Pepper pub
licly and F. d. RS Gainesville
speech was partly designed to aid
him. Available reports here indi-
cate Pepper will win If he does
Mt. Florida Democrats will have
socked the New Deal.
INDIANA, May 3: Senator
Frederick Van Nuys was marked
for political dealth by the McNutt
machine long before he achieved
fame by becoming a leader of the
Court plan opposition. Indiana
picks its senatorial candidates in
party conventions rather than direct
primaries, so it's certain the Demo-
cratic candidate will be named by
the Democratic machine controlled
at least in Paul McNutt'S absence
in the Philippines-by Governor
Townsend.
The organization candidate ap-
pears to be Sam Jackson, Fort
Wayne lawyer, who has been back
ed by McNutt and some of the
latter's supporters.
Picturesque ex-senator Jim Wat
son, long Republican Senate
leader, seeks the Republican nomi-
nation. So do Walter Bossert, for
mer khan official, and Richard Will
lis, backed by the Ralph Gates Re
publican faction.
SOUTH DAKOTA, May 3: Here's
the first state in which Republicans
are conceded a fair chance to un-
seat a Democratic senator. The
senator is 70-year-old Herbert E..
Hitchcock, who has voted consis-
tently with the administration and
is opposed by Congressman Fred
Hildebrandt. former railway con-
diletor and member OF the House

Years ago while working IN a

an office boy. Dozens applied. AS
we interviewed them, we came 10
one bright little fellow who showed
plainly that he meant to get the
lob. He made a favorable impress
sion. but he was much underSlZei'

I said to him. IF l get 1t done

The boy pictured himself DONG
the work, ami he also made me
see him doing it. His Snowman
ship got the job for him.
Here's another youthful example
of natural shoWmanship. A snort
time ago, when coming out of the
Hamilton Club, in Hamilton, Can
ada, I met a newsboy who asked
me to buy a copy Of magazine.
l shook my head. 1t was late and
I hadn't the faintest desire to pur-
chase the magazine because didn't
have time to read it. Quickly the
boy said, win you buy the maga-
zine if l can guess within five years
of your age?" / said sure" He
tried and he guessed within one
year of my age. so i bought the
magazine and gave it back to him.
That boy sold me on his show
manship. He brought me into the
picture. and buying the magazine
vas no longer perfunctory; it in
volved a challenge plus little en-
tertainment.
