SPRINGER, NJ M, May 27.-Far-
mers in several Midwestern and
Southwestern States battled steadily
increasing grasshopper hordes today
and gave themselves only IA days to
win or lose their war of eradication.
Ranchers agreed the war must be
won before the insects take flight
The young, wingless hoppers, now
emerging from the ground and crac-
king in the hot sun. soon will take of
to almost inaccessible arroyos and
br,lsh-covered hills, where they can
lay millions Of eggs in comparative
safety. It is estimated they can fly
100 miles q day.
Ranchers, c. c. c. and w. p. A.
made this town their Northwestern
New Mexico headquarters. They were
armed with poison spreaders, made
chiefly from outmoded Model T Ford
automobiles.
In the Texas Panhandle, officials
said they fear $6,OO0,000 crop damage
If the pests are not controlled. Prep
arations for similar warfare against
the 'hoppers we're being made in parts
OF Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma,
where the hatch is not quite so early
Gov. Clyde Tingley of New Mexico
arranged for an emergency project for
construction of poison spreaders More
than $50 of these big Berthas"-
constructed from rear assemblies, scrap
iron and wire-already are scattering
poison mash at the rate of 400 to 500
acres day.
Scores Of poison mixing plants are
turning out their mixtures for trans

Gov. Tingley telephoned Washington
to appeal for additional funds. He
estimated 500 1000 is needed.

known author, in presenting the womans point of view outlines a set of simple practical rules for improving business relations. Here they
 First, be sure you know what you want before you enter into any business transaction. Think the matter through clearly and refuse to compromise on cheap substitutes, either material ethical.
 Never allow yourself to be rushed into a nasty decision either by overenthusiasm by false pride One of the most frequent causes business failure natural unwillngness to admit to the other fellow that we may not be able to put it over.
 Never buy anything you can't pay for Don't take chance on something turning up later to your indebtedness That sounds like putting the brakes on lot of creative enterprise but genuinely creative enterprise is never a gamble.
 Be sure you give what you are being paid for. All business growth be it in the selling of apples or in the selling of ideas is built repeats
 Never use your personal affairs alibi for nonperformance. The purchaser is interested in the goods he gets. not in your private problem.
 Never be smart alecky' or affected in your man. her when business deal is involved. Your approach will be anything but welcome A direct simple, and natural your best introduction to any client or prospect.
 Never try to get something for nothing The effort always futile is spotted immediately and brands you indeibly a fake. People don't forget that sort of thing and they not reluctant to spread the news
 Never never lose your temper matter how wholly wrong your business contact of the moment may be. By losing your temper you put yourself at a disadvantage Many deal has been consum- mated satisfactorily to all parties because of them kept cool.
 Don't waste your vital energy by breeding over bad business deal business injustice For get it and go ahead with something new.
 Always fulfill your contracts on time, a little before time if possible The upstage gesture of delay is an empty one, matter how important you are. He who can be depended upon is the one who gets results.
 The successes of dishonesty and charlatanism usually brief, believe it not-just like the cess of crime in lesser degree Getting away with it is not business success it is slack-wre performance rusted wire
 Above all assume that the other fellow is at least decent and honest you are. Distrust en- genders dstrust Faith often begets faith the surprising degree
 There's a good deal of sound advice in the authors conclusions that all of us whether veterans in merce or youngsters just starting do well to review.

Editor White Tells Elm
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Out in the middle of the United States sits Editor William Allen White, watching Americas big parade pass by and now and then prodding it in the way he thinks it should go Many years have passed since Editor White told his own Kansas what was wrong with it and thereby became famous
 As the years have gone along an impressive num- Der of Whites prods have proved to be in the right direction. This does not mean he has always been correct in his forecasts Far from it. as White would be the first to concede, remembering, perhaps his confidence in 1886 that his fellow Kansan Ali Landon was going to be president.
 White as the world knows is a Republican, one of those who took recess with Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 As he explains it, Teddy bit me and l went mad" But he was never standpatter Now as he surveys with becoming Republican satisfaction, the results of the recent election he his party, as he has many times in the past that If 1t is not progressive 1t will not get anywhere. More than a year ago he told it that it should choose Mayor La Guardia or a man like him in 1940. Some of his fellow Republicans choked. But that did not bother Bill.
 Now he is warning them again that there is nothing in what happened at the polls last month to give any for moving backward. He sees what he calls the subconscious common sense of the American middle class based on sane liberalism Interviewed by L. H. Robbins in the New York Times Magazine he is cheered because practically all the 1888 crop of successful Republican candidates did not take the 'reactionary viewpoint" As he sees 1t their attitude lis not that of the Liberty League and certainly a thousand miles from any coalltlon WltH Cotton Ed Smith"
 Middle class people do not believe" he says that we should change economic system They are all for the profit motive But they believe tha labor should have the unquestioned right to organ za and bargain collectively with representatives o their own choosing and that the old boss who is no going to let anyone into my shop and run it must take reef in his pride.
 Now as many times before the simple preach ments of Editor Bill White will impress vast numbe If his fellow Americans

SIGNIFICANT OF AMERICAN
 DEMOCRACY

Appointment by President Roosevelt of Alfred M Landon the Republican who opposed him in the last Presidential election delegate to the Pan-A -Ameri can Conference which opened yesterday in Lima Peru has been the cause of much comment and has been interpreted in many ways.
 -a-~- While such an action is unusual under our form of popular government it probably is signifi- cant of American democracy any act possibly could be- In sharp contrast with conditions in dictatorial countries it reveals of fundamental principles that one may think freely he wishes this country without losing respect of his opponents the right . to keep or thinking and living as he chooses.
 I-w glaringly different from political result in almost any dicatorcontrcled country? In Germany, for example when Hitler rose to power those who had opposed him were "purged" And purge in the Hitler understanding is pretty definite Political op ponents were either executed put in concentration camps which amounts to being put in prison.
 We've heard a lot about 'purg&" in this country in the last year or SO Suppose for the moment that these things we refer to purges' in this country were like the ones they have in Germany. Would , Mir Landon be serving at the Pan American Con- gress? No indeed Rather he'd be breaking rock , in road camp, or perhaps not be around at all. And what about those in the Presidents own party who did not see with him on certain political and ? economic issues? Under the dictator system seen abroad they would be getting educated the , end of pick handle
 That's the difference between true democracy and dictatorship of thought expression and ac- tions. Not only worship God as we see fit but we worship the shrine of Jefferson or Lin- con as we politically choose without being fearful of landing in a chain gang.

TIME TO DO THAT CHRISTMAS
 SHOPPING

Only two weeks remain before the Christmas holiday is here agan Many of us buslly engaged with cur daily activities probably haven't realized its sudden approach but if going to do any shop ping we had best get alive to it.
 Two weeks isn't long time to prepare for Christ mas but it is ample time if make use of it. Juneau merchants anticipating annual tendency to do our shopping in the last few days well stocked with everything for the holiday season and are ready to fill all requests.
 Why not start making those purchases now in- stead of waiting until the last minute? It's an ad~ vantage to the purchaser in that he has a greater variety to choose from and to the merchant who can give better service when he isn't pressed by crowd of last minute shoppers.
 It's time to get busy with that Christmas shopping now
