A gaint nibble of toast is about

This country when it was grow

in the evening, around the fire
side-with bushel of apples close
at hand-and by or 10 it would
be in bed.
And at 6 in the morning, the

aroma of bacon and the other
grand kitchen smells, they would

gether, clear-eyed and clear-head

pusses at breakfast time-they
didn't have them.
But today it is vice versa-noth-

around midnight. And the next

The matter of Republican and
Democratic art presidential
nominees naturally gets abundant
newspaper space but the real strug
gle behind the scenes is party
machinery control.
Among the Democrats, the little
fry keeps shouting for the third
term. But if one notes carefully,
not one of the Big Boys is being
quoted. The issue is, open and
shut, a united or a sadly divided
party. The Big Shots are in con-
slant maneuvering to prevent
party split up and to do this the
third term is out Watch the de-
velopments.
Among the Republicans it is
fight between the two wings OF
the party. The division embraces
Landon and heterogeneous
group of leaders on one side and
Hoover with his followers on the
other. Candidates in the field are
just running in hope that some
thing may happen. 1t is reported
here that the party moguls IN
charge of the present National
Committee organization have little
hope of electing a republican
president, and that, in fact, their
strategy is to the contrary. What
they are after is to nominate a
candidate so that the party con-
troll will be retained.
Representative Joe Martin, Re-
publican leader in Congress, has
resigned from the National Com
mittee. Joe was out Kansas way
recently and it is believed fixed
up his deal with Landon thus be-
ing in the Landon progressive
wing. John Hamilton, National
Committee Chairman, is against
his old friend Landon and is now
working with the Hoover groups.
The fight will go on merrily not
to elect a republican president but
to nominate a candidate which
will insure party machinery con-
troll.
Party politics and party control
are preeminent issues as far as
politicians in both parties are
concerned. The actual welfare of
the nation is secondary. Control
of the party machinery can readi-
ly be appreciated for its import
ance. You may be Big S h OF

many years this institution has
established an enviable record for

The fact that Palo Verde Valley
has cheap land and plenty of wa
ter to offer induced the company
to establish quarters in Blythe.
Due to continued draughts in the
Salt River Valley and San Carlos
Project in Arizona, farmers found
it difficult to prosper and many
are on the lookout for more fer
tile fields. Prather, who has beer
with his firm for over II years
