AMERICAN SUPREMACY
THREATENED

Boake Carter recently said this: "No one tries to
educate and to teach the great of people of this
lation Including the slice of foreign-born in our
mldst-that has been the system of competition and free
enterprise that has been able provide the fantastic
picture of man without job blandy travelling to a

How often the fact sold to American citizens that
not for these basic fundamentals would not
be enjoying the freedom to talk write travel produce
buy, that we possess?"
Americans have more radios automobiles re-
They enjoy better food and live in better homes They
wear better clothes and better furniture. The
ordinary citizen buys and employs for his pleasure and
convenience commodities that be possessed only by
the rich of other lands
AS Mr.. Carter observes, it is free competition the
backbone of private initiative and free enterprise that
has given all this In America, the who manu-
fcure product better cheaper than another has
been at liberty to set his factory go to work. and get
the business through honest competition The who can

land has benefited a result.
There those who would pass laws to destroy

done, progress in America will be at end-and our

waste It is a drain the resources of the nation.
The direct loss by fire has been running IN the
neighborhood of 100000 year estimated that

bring the total to billion, at low estimate.
That billion dollars would give employment to a

more than 800 900 homes costing $4,000 each 1t would
buy than 100000 automobiles at $500 1t would
build 200 900 miles of splendid highway. 1t would give
university educations to 100000 young men and women

GLOOMY PLACE

Most folk thing OF the Death
House as a dismal, gloomy place.
1t is that in many ways. There are
those times when gloom possesses
the room. But at other times l have
seen cheerfulness possess the place
as completely. | have been with
ten men there and they have all
been good sports. Each of them has
taken his medicine on the chin.
None has ever been violent or ugly
while | was there. If l were locked
in and had to spend the whole
night there it wouldn't disturb me.
Bars and locked doors are horrors
only when they are new to you.
Men have a way of adjusting them
selves to their conditions. We can
talk or play games thru bars and
forget all about them.
The joke of my incarceration in
the death house, if any, is on the
public-or the newspapers.
COULDN'T SCAR HER
A strip dancer in Kansas City
landed in the hospital last week.
The doctor looked her over and
said: You gotta have your ap-
pendix taken OUT Says she: "You
can't scar me-neither can you
have my appendix. Her career
was important. No ding-busted ap-
pendix, ever if busted, was going
to ruin her looks. She wouldn't be
scared out of her profession.
If the strip-tease dancer had
really known her public she would
not have wasted much worry over
small scar on the right side of
her abdoman. One wonders what
use an un-scared lifeless body would
be worth to that profession.
NO COMPLETE FAILURE
A wife-beating husband was killed
the other day in louisiana by his
Is year old son. The press states
that none of the members of the
family or their neighbors were
sorry. No charges were brought
against the boy. Some one had said
that no mans life is a complete
failure, that he can at least serve
as a bad example.

An extra million dollars for re-
Mobilization lohns to farmers in
California, Arizona, Nevada and
Utah will be needed to take care
of all loan applications made to the
Farm Security Administration this
fisca year, r. w. Hollenberg,
FSA assistant regional director,
said today
Mr.. Hollenberg will ask his
Washington office to allot the
million as a supplement to $780,
900 already granted for rehabilita-
ton purposes. Need for the money,
he said, is shown by survey
recently made in the four states of
Region TX which found the number
of requests for farm aid greater
than in any previous year.
Applications now on the desks of
Farm ecurity Administration
county rehabilitation supervisors
throughout the region number 1910,
according to Mr. Hollenberg, while
another 1856 are anticipated by
end of the fiscal year on July /.
or this total, 1,435 applications are
expected in Utah, 1,030 in Cali
fornia, 420 in Arizona and 80 in
Nevada. Existing funds, which are
in part committed as supplemental
loans to present borrowers, will
take care of approximately half
the new applicants.
This years increase in the num-
Der of farmers asking FSA help is
not a sign of further depression in
agricultural conditions, according
to Hollenberg, but on the contrary
signifies "a growing interest in a
help-the-farmer program which can
boast OF increases in the net worth
Of 80 percent of its borrowers dur
ing the past year"
The FSA lends only to farm
owners and tenants of proved
ability who are unable to obtain
credit from any other lending
agency The loans are made under
supervised credit" plan, for the
purchase of tools, livestock, seed
and other equipment necessary for
successful farming operations.
Supervision, through a farm and
home management plan calls for
raising of sufficient feed for live
stock and garden products for
home consumption, for more
diversified farming, and for
scientific operating methods, with
the objective of better living
standards.

Salvation in New

The year just closed was a
momentous one, not only for the
United States but for the entire
civilized world. 1t was year Of
crises, of dramatic and far-reaching

seemed certain was averted. Yet,

We are now carrying the heaviest

FINES FOR IA
BRING IN $500

Fourteen OF 16 Tacoma mer-
chants arrested by inspectors for
the state fisheries department had
paid fines totaling 500 and court
costs of S35 Tuesday for violation
