THE FOURTH GENERATION

The famous Duke of Yelling
ton. the British commander who
finally settled Napoleon's fate,
was loaded down with honors
and cash. The British Parliament
gave him two million dollars and
the grateful Britains bought him
a magnificent estate valued at
more than a million dollars. In
addition, he was granted an an
nual pension of $4,000 but the
pension was only to run for three
generations. When the third
duke died in the year 1900, the
pension ceased, and the fourth
generation of the name came to
his title very, very hard up,
loaded down with titles but with
little else in the form of money.

Alexander Pushkin, Russia's

Such an IDOL was he among the

the custom of splitting on the

of the man who killed him.

Business called. He had neglected it
long enough, too long in fact.
1t was the next afternoon, as he was
packing thelast of his baggage, that the
messenger brought him Peggy's note:
Carl, dear:
I've thought a lot about that
belt, about your remarks of never
looking at the other side of things.
It's no 90, I'm returning your
ring and your belt. Roger gave me
that other belt today-and, after
all, one has no need for two belts

P.S. You might look at the other

Carl Slade read the note, reread 1t
with puzzled frown; then he tore
open the package and picked out the
pawn belt. Slowly he turned it over
in his hands. Then, staring at some
thing he saw stamped in the metal on
the reverse side of the belt, moved
over to better light.
The words, so fine as to be almost
illegible, became plain as the light
caught them - "Made In Japan.

The Indian made one brief explana-

said, opening his mouth and pointing
to the pink gullet with an eloquently

The squaw appealed to the old man.
He gave no sign of having heard, but

between toothless gums.

SLADE took the belt. He was in rare

Peggy felt a certain depression, a

be either cured or fresh. Picnic is
the term applied to the sweet and

One such product is described by
the company responsible for 1t as an
"all-pork product" 1t tastes like ham

packing company has just perfected
what it calls "sugar-cured pork

the fine "ham-y" flavor that is charac-

which is available now IN limited
number of sections, will soon be on
the market everywhere.

pork products and an extremely pop

Says Should Give
Greater Support to Schools

Mrs. Honora Hatstad, in connec-
ton with the PIT. A. work, would
like the following material passed
on to those folks who are interested
in schools and the part they play
in the community. This is part OF
the column written by Eleanor
Roosevelt.
More and more, as | listen to
young people talk, / realize the i'm
portant part played by the public
schools in our country. They should
have the interest and support in
every community of all citizens in
order to make it possible for the
teachers to accomplish the maximum
of good, particularly along the lines
of training for future citizenship.
We have done SO much to improve
the structures in which our children
are taught, but because it requires
more constant effort on our part to
know about the people and the
curricula in our schools we often
neglect that most important side OF
education. Often a great part of
the community has no touch with
its public schools and this makes
the task of the public school teacher
doubly hard"

FREEDOM ON THE FARM.

Evidence is daily reaching those
or us who are watching, that the
two largest anti-American organiza-
tons are boring into our farm
groups.
An officer of an automobile in
surance company recently called the
writer's attention to claim of a
farmer for damage to his automo-
bile. The investigation brought out
the fact that the accident occurred
while it was being driven by a
young man for the purpose of dis
tributing literature for the COM
munist organization in this country.
/ want to talk to you, young man.
| am calling your attention to the
fact that If that communist program
is adopted in this country your
father and every other farmer must
turn over to the government his
farm, his stock, and tools, and from
then on, that farm must be run as
the government agent directs. You
may be moved to a distant point and
when harvest comes the agent will
take the crop, leaving as many po-
tatoes, apples, pumpkins, hay, etc,
as he thinks you may need for your
own use.
The agent will then criticize you
for not producing more, complain
that the wheat had been allowed
to sprout in the stack, and that the
apples were covered with scab.
You will then be told how much
clothing and food you can have
during the year, how many movies
you can attend, how long, and where
you may go to school and church
You probably will not starve. You
certainly will not be out of job,
and in the end you will be buried
without individual accomplishment,
without experiencing even the joy
or pain of having tried. You will
be simply The Man with the Hoe"
Today you ere sitting on the
sound limb of liberty and saving it
off because some one has told you
that its fruit is sometimes off color

and better graft can be put in its
place. Slippery elm will not grow
on that stock. Liberty, Freedom
and Happiness have a fibre differ
ent from dictatorship and COM
munism and they will not knit.
The Grange teaches you the dan
gers of all collectivistic govern
ments, whether it be led by Sta
lin, a Hitler, or a Mussolini. Your
history teaches the wonderful story
of this country's growth and happi-
ness under Freedom. When you
start after the cows at daybreak
and realize that they and the farm
are yours and that the satisfaction
and profit at the end of the day will
come from your own knowledge
and efforts--isn't there an extra
heart beat? A surge of pride in
your freedom?
That freedom was forth fighting
for in '76 and it is worth keeping
now.
