James H. r. Cromwell. well

paintings of early Western life,
he listed the hopeful signs on the
recovery horizon as follows:

4. His conviction that busi-

Business should and will CO.

one Of the most optimistic signs

KENT SEA SCOUTS GET
EQUIPMENT FROM GOVT

The House passed and sent to the
Senate a bill to permit the Govern
ment to give to the sea scouts of the
Boy Scouts of America any condemn
ed or absolete equipment of the light
house service.
This is of particular interest to the
Sea Scout Troop which is very active
but without necessary boat equipment
to carry on further boating activi-
ties.
Skipper Woke of the troop has been
endeavoring to secure boat equipment
for use in training and this recent
Congressional act may make this
equipment possible.

showed promise of a good game, but
in the fifth the Snow Hill team fell
to pieces and Berlin scored ten runs
on one hit, one base balls, and six er-
rors.. Townsend, Snow Hills start

down in order in the first three in

NO DUST BOWLS

the acres of ground that
have been planted with spe-
cial grasses that keep the
soil in place and which guard
against dust-winds, to allow
sheep to Craze and destroy
the grass roots on this land,
is to court a return of dis
aster. The farmer has learned
his lesson and surely realizes
the results of drouth. Con-
servation work has proven
effective and rain has been
kind, but it behooves all of
us here not to forget the
waste lands, emaciated cattle
and disheartened men. Nature
has given her "dust atten-
tons" to the west in the
past. She may turn to the
middle west and Atlantis
coast the next time, for one
never can be sure of her in
tentions. Let's protect the

ONE OF US

Have you noticed that big
city papers have long ago
ceased to poke fun at the
small town because of it's
easy-going way Of living and
the very naturalness of its
rural residents? The best
explanation is that a large
number of the men editing
dailies in big cities originally
came from small towns like
ours. They know the con-
ditions that exist and when
they reach the large city they
miss this human touch. Of
course we are apt to know
more about our neighbours
finances and our children's
love-affairs, but let anyone in
the family get sick and the
whole neighborhood is on
hand to help. In many a
crowded city folks don't know
their next-door neighbours

Time May ProUe Fallacy
OF Todays Liberal Ideas

That is the story of the self-ap-
pointed liberals. To them has been
given the right-in their own minds,
at least-to guide the destinies of
the nation. assume that if they
regard me at all they classify me
as coming from across the railroad
tracks, question my mental balance.
But / shall continue to study their
methods, commend what is good.
criticize that which is obviously un-
sound. More important, I shall
continue to cling to the doctrine of
the ages that human nature is 60
ing to be changed by some Power
that is considerably above the level
OF human intelligence; shall hold
to a conviction that real progress
comes by that method and not from
the crackpots who look upon the hui
man race as fresh litter of guinea
pigs.
But, anyway, we have liberalism
defined at last by a man who is
qualified to define it, and we find
that it differs from what liberalism
formerly meant. 1t was only few
generations ago that liberalism
meant restricting, not increasing,
the powers of government. Neither
Mr.. Roosevelt's definition nor his
record in office comedies with the
former understanding of the word.
1t seems to me likely, therefore.
that we will go on for quite some
years with this quarrel, and that
may be-and this is just a hunch--
time will prove the fallacy of some
OF the so-called liberal doctrines of
this day.

Dame Nature is a most
tickle lady. Two and three
years ago she swept havoc
and despair in her wake,
across the western plains in
what we term the "dust
bowl. Winds carried away
as much top soil as the floods
of the Mississippi could in a
thousand years. Well can
we remember the death and
restitution those dust storms
caused, and this year of
blessed rains has given us
cause to be thankful that
there was no repetition of
this sad occurrence. The
plains have been given a
chance to grow crops and
grass with an abundance.
But let not man undo what
Nature has done for him.
Let him not forget those
years of famine in the season
of plenty. To put into wheat

Democratic nomination for senator
by the youthful Worth Clark, there
was talk AMONG the New Dealers
about having Senator Pope seek re-
election independently; it was pro-
posed and discussed with Mr..
Roosevelt whether Senator Pope
should embrace the faith of the La
Follette's progressive ticket in Ida
no. 1t was found, however, that
the LaFollettes had a candidate for
the senate on their ticket. To the
suggestion that he withdraw and let
Senator Pope be their candidate, the
LaFollette spokesman said: no sir
ee! Senator Pope isn't progressive
enough for us-and Senator Pope
had campaigned as a 100 per cent
New Dealer.
One can walk around the halls of
congress any day when the session
is on and find hundred-per-centers
arguing how far reform" must be
carried; what liberalism means.
And, in downtown Washington,
where the really important head
men OF liberalism are to be found,
they are constantly tuning and fret
ting at each other. Instances are on
record where two rabid liberals &C.
tually have sought to get each other
discredited in the eyes of the Presi-
dent because of their differences
over what liberalism means.
The only thing about which thew
seem to agree is that anyone who
insists on sanity in governmental
thinking-anyone who takes heed of
lessons of experiences and tradi-
tons of the past-must, of neces-
sity be tory, a bloodsucker, a
trampler of the poor, an obstruc-
zionist, a "republicrat," or some
other animal in human form who is
overcome with personal greed. On
that point, the liberals that we see
in the government these days pre-
sent united front.

publicans. Said he: IF there is a
good liberal running on the Repub-
lican ticket, / would not have the
slightest objection to his election.
The good of the country rises above
party"
The Importance of these two dec
larations?
Mr.. Roosevelt has cast the die
for a new alignment of political
parties. He has swept aside all
previous bonds that held men and
women within the Democratic par
ty or the Republican party or the
lesser political groups and has said,
in effect, Come with me into a
new fusion of forces and action" OF
course, no one who has studied Mr..
Roosevelt's course since his politi-
cal ears were first pinned back in
defeat of his malodorous plan to
add six justices of his own choosing
to the United States Supreme court
could have failed to recognize this
eventuality. He was planning to
force realignment in politics in this
country for some months; but now
the thing is out in the open, and
the Democrats and Republicans,
alike, know what confronts them if
it is their desire to maintain the
present political party setup.
What will happen is quite another
question. Undoubtedly, the Demo-
cratic party will be the greater suf-
ferer. 1t has to be so, because Mr..
Roosevelt became titular head of
the Democratic party by virtue of
election to the presidency in 1892
and again in 1886 as the candidate
of that party. So many of the for
mer Democrats have become we'd
ded to the New Deal either by con-
viction or as result of having won
office on New Deal coat tails that
there is no turning back for them.
Thus, there is a split, with those
who subscribe to the New Deal the
DRY of liberalism on the one hand
and the Democrats who adhere to
the hundred-year-old principles Of
the Democratic party on the other.
There will be some Republicans
drawn into the new alignment, but
they will be fewer than the wing
formed from Democrats. The Re-
publicans who will go over to any
new alignment will be of the type of
Harold Ickes, now secretary of the
interior, Senator Norris of Nebraska
(who once wore Republican labeD
and others of the here-today-gone-
tomorrow category. .
And further, as to what will hap
pen: my observation is that these
So-called liberal movements don't
last very long. They crack up on
the very principles which are sup
posed to be their foundation stones.
Always, there are too many lead
ers." Every liberal" who cata-
logues himself as such, shouts about
it and produces plans for saving the
world wherever anybody will listen,
conceives himself to be a leader.
Someway, the ideas and ideals OF
these liberal leaders always differ.
Each invariably takes the position
that his plans must be adopted
unanimously or the world will 60 to

FAMILY MOVIES

Today almost everyone has
seen or heard about the SER
les of family movies that are
produced by several COM
panies, much to their enjoy
ment. Another studio is
planning on making a series
of pictures dealing with COM
ic-strip characters. These
family pictures are popular
and some of their characters
are by-words in many homes.
1t is pleasant to see the
typical American home and
family with all our ordinary
problems and concerns with
the real thing brought on the
screen. Our hope is that the
movies won't kill the Amer
