Master ShOwmen

At the present time there are three
master showmen in the world-Hitler,
Mussolini, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Hitler and Mussolini have demon
strated their dramatic ability and de-
sire for splurge. Roosevelt demon
strated his at the Chicago convention
He had most of the delegates to the
convention dangling in the air on
strings, awaiting his word as to what
he cared to do-to break American
tradition and run for a third term, or
to fatty refuse.
He did neither. He left the way
open for his denomination, but made
it so that he could make it appear that
it was not his wish, but that of the
delegates. Some sham! | wonder
how many people will swallow that
tripe? With the taxpayers money
and the money he has borrowed, he
holds the upper hand on the delegates.
Hitler and Mussolini got their power
by force, Roosevelt by the promise of
money, jobs, and patronage. In their
particular lines, they are all dictato4s.
xH~
| never heard the radio so full of
static as when l tried to listen to the
Democratic convention. There must
have been a reason. The air couldn't
stand all the hot air let loose at the
convention without there being some
reaction.
There are reports in the county now
that the Farm Security Administration
another New Deal agency-is now
about to give money to low-income
farmers without any security, and
without any responsibility of having to
pay it back. In plain language, this
would be-"Here, FL give you so much
money We'd like to have your vote
this fall"
Of course, nothing is as open as this
and the Administration would appear
shocked that anyone would suspect
such a thing. In the name of agri-
culture they are giving him money to
"rehabilitate" himself But they could
have done this two years ago if they
were so disposed, and not wait until
just before election time.
The law against purchase of votes
ought to be brought into play, if the
New Deal agencies continue to try tc
pull such stuff.

advise with the Secretary of Agri-
culture and the A. A. A. on means
of carrying out the wishes of pro-

In August, 1888. he became as

two daughters, Betty, 81. who was
graduated from Purdue University
last June, and Ann, l8. who is en-
tering Purdue in the fall.
Mrs. Wickard, like her husband, is
completely democratic. Always
smartly gowned, she is a far cry in
appearance from the traditional
farm woman. She likes for daytime
functions the dark colors, with
touches of lingerie at the throat to
set off her becomingly gray hair.
The WickardS seldom figured in
the Washington society news. but
their circle of friends in official and
residential sets is wide. They like
small home parties and hold strong
to the traditional family life
characteristic of people who have
lived most of their lives on the soil.
Now that Mr.. Wickard is soon to
enter on the enlarged sphere of a
cabinet officer, Mrs. Wickard will
necessarily be forced to perform
the duties of a cabinet hostess. Her
manner is gracious and easy and
her resourcefulness, which will
stand in we'll in her new life, is
said to be an outstanding trait.
Daughters Plan Newspaper Careers.
The two young daughters have
eyes on journalistic careers. They
will both be absent from home this
year. Betty, the elder, is holding
down stenographic job in Indi-
annapolis and writes on the side.
Ann graduated in June from the
Western High School in Washing
ton and did exceedingly well on
the school paper which won a high
school award for excellence At
Purdue she is going to take course
in journalism.
The Wickards are described by a
friend as "a happy, carefree family"
who like to take their pleasures to-
gether.
When the spirit prompts, they
climb into the family automobile
and take quick spin to the farm
for a few days Or Mr.. Wickard
will take one OF his cameras in
hand and ride out into the country
to snap some views of Eastern farm
life.
