FILING CLAIM


So now we're getting close to
Santa Anita again. My wife and
family were down in California.
] think I told you about how my
girl, Meg, took off to dancing
school when she broke up with
Flack. Well, she turned out to be
right clever and I got to hearing
from time to time now she was
getting into this moving picture
and that.
Personally do not go much for
6hoW-acting of any kind but as
long as the girls NAV was with
her I knew no harm could come
to her. And when I got the wire
that Flack had entered Ferocious
in a $500 claiming event, knew
that was my chance.

RELIEF-THE 18th LARGEST BUSINESS

America is land that prdes itself on its high stand
ard of living And is not false pride, for Americans
have comforts and convenences than other peo
ple-a because America has pioneered in the develop
of these modern things through industrial expansion
With that expansion millions of jobs created so those
millions could buy the things they produced.
Now, however, America finds itself alarmlngy gong
standard of living
Consider the hundreds of ways in which the 100000
900 people of country receive their living
Broken down into casscatons find that relief
the expense of the taxpayer and the public purse
ranks fourth That that people being
supported relief rolls than by such other industries
mining public utilities transportation and construction
Only manufacturing farming and the service trades rank
above relief
Why, people ask has relief become "bg business?
There many theories but is interesting to note that
it has advanced materially during the past fveyear
of government pump printing and ndiscrminate emerg
ency" spending
Since 1888 the staggering total of than 16000
100000 has been poured into the relief channels BY July
l. 1882 according to current government spending est
mates, the total will mount to at least 100000 600.
Some people say Federal spending is political ex-
pedient Perhaps it is but wonder it, in the long
industrial America and its high living standards
vve if relief finally becomes the first ranking business of
the country Relief not productive enterprise and Am
erica must produce to exist.

AID FOR KING COTTON

Last years cotton crop the biggest harvest
ed-18,750 900 bales By the time the 1888 crop in the
bale surplus equal to two years normal consumption will
be weighing down the market-unless something extra
ordinarily effective is done to aid King Cotton.
Cotton is grown widely in only Is states-but its ups
and downs reflected in standard of living of all Amer
lea. Shoes from Massachusetts, oranges from California
automobiles from Michigan; flour from Minnesota-the
derived from cotton by the growers that great
Southern where is the principal crop buys large
part of the total production of these and all other
modities Thus the cotton emergency is of Importance
all America is interested plans effectively aid the
ton growers.
Following series of conferences, thoroughgoing
plan to help the cotton surplus has been scheduled
for the week beginning May 80 Groundwork will be done
in the meantime to stimulate the sale of cotton goods and
other allied products Participants in the drive the
nations chain stores-he variety systems, the food sys
TENS the Give and ten the drug systems and the shoe
systems Practically every important chain in the country
has pledged its cooperation One of the groups involved
has alone 500 outlets and last sold almost $780,
100000 worth of cotton products.
Promotional effort of all kinds will be given to max
ing the drive Advertising window and inner
store displays recommendations by clerks handbills-
possible medium will be cotton in great
quantities Nothing will be left undone that might help
relieve the present critical situation.
Time will tell just how effective this campaign will
be-but is safe prediction based the past pre-
cedent of chain store promoonal campaigns behalf of
other products that unprecedented of cotton
will be sold. and that the cotton growers will be saved

The Low Down

was Swimming through the pap
er the other day and | see where
out Their on the Coast, they had an
election and those web-feet there,
they voted against going into pard-
ners with the Govt in the power
business.
So it looks like it is not just in
Tennessee that the Govt. has its
hands full. And if the folks out
there in Oregon do not want the
power I guess it is another dead
horse.
You take an ordinary person and
let him get into a jam, and the law
will grab him till he straightnes
things out; and if the Govt. gets
itself into a Jackpot, and runs into
debt-head over heels-it should
be the same.
And the geezers we elect to Off
ce, if they had to make up the loss
on stuff they promote, but which
does not pan out, we could breathe
easier. And if these persons do not
have the cash to make up the de-
ficit, they could work it out, at so
much per day.

Streamlining is not necessity; bet
ter to sacrifice looks and get prac-

If you intend to travel back roads.
be sure you buy an outfit with suf-

Bear in mind that food preparation

are most important.
