One question frequently asked n
these anxi01a days ia ease ths
railroads readyr
And the answer Is. aThe railroads
are ready % meet any emergency q
A short time ago, Assistant secre-
tary Of War johnson observed that
the American railroads are always
IN state Of national defense z
There was no wishful thinkIne il
that statement Il came fron a fpII
knowledge Of the remarkable lob The
railroads have done, working ii fnli
cooperation with the government. to
prepare against any demand that
may conceivably be made upon
them.
The railroads and the Army and
Navy Munitions Board have worked
for a number Of years to make plans
to meet emergencies as they may
arise. These plans, TO quote Secre-
tary johnson again, contemplate no
change in the American way Of
getting things DONE" They do not
involve any emergency super-con-
trolls, or government operation. The
essence Of the plans e that the
railroads shall be run IN the regu-
lar way, with the various Interested
agencies OF government cooperat-
ing.
In 1917 when government took
over management of the railroads
as a war measure, chaos resulted in
the transportation structure. At
one time there were as many as
100000 cars standing loaded on side
tracks because there had been no
coordination in ordering goods ship
ped and the time when these goods l
could be used or unloaded.
Under the present plan, that viii /
not happen again. Freight will be
as needed and railroad cars
will not be used for warehouses.
Today the railroads have bigger
and better cars. bigger and faster
far better tracks, termi-
nails, etc, than ever before. As a
authority said recently,
The railroads repeatedly have han
lied more freight than they did in
1918 with fewer cars and engines
han they had then, and have done
{ without delay. congestion or diff
:ulty. And so they will do again
should emergency come"
The costly lessons Of the last war
we're not in vain, as one views the
present coordination plans OF the
Assistant Secretary of War and the
ailroads.

Fighting Destruction

Eligh-rankins public officials,
whtle work has % do with the prob
LEM Of industry, farmers and con-
suners, have gone vigorously on rec
ord in opposition to the Patman bill
to destroy the chain store industry.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace
was one. And very recently Acting
Secretary Of Commerce Noble wrote
letter TO the House committee
which held hearings on the bill, In
which he objected to the measure for
variety Of reasons.
Mr.. Noble pointed out that most
of the alleged abuses by chain stores
have already been corrected. And
he then listed these seven specific
points on which the Department Of
Commerce opposes the bill:
4. 1t proposes extreme use of the
taxing power, not to raise revenue,
not to regulate, but to prohibit inter-
state business.
2. It would act as a vicious bar
rier TO legitimate interstate trade.
8. Il would lower the standard of
living Of consumers, by raising
prices.
4. It would destroy honest invest
ment and productive jobs.
5. It would probably result in less
continuity and lower standards of
employment.
s. It would prevent mass pro- /
duction from yielding it's greatest !
benefit through mass distribution on |
a national scale.
. z. It would open the door for leg
islation penalizing all interstate bus
inesses when intrastate sellers de-
sire freedom from competition.
There can be no question that the
Patman bill would produce all of
these undesirable consequences
and more. There can be no ques-
ton that its real purpose is not to
raise government reve-
nue., but to ruin the chains. There
can be no question but what 1t
would establish a precedent which
would make the planned destruction
If almost any business possible. And
hat is why the representatives of
Millions of Americans, including
workers, consumers, farmers, pro-
lucers and others, have demanded
hat it be killed.

Arrangements for this field meet
ing were made by Kent County
Agent Russell E. Wilson in coop
GRAFTON with w. l. Boyd, fieldman
for Libby, McNeill and Libby, fol-
lowing a conference with represen-
tatiYes of the experiment station
concerning the interesting facts to
be called to the attention of tomato
growers who will visit these exDeri-
mental Plots. In addition to this
particular farm there are also twelve
other farms in the Dover, Wyoming

demonstrations are being conducted
this year by the county agent in CO.
operation with Kenneth w. Baker,
extension economist of the Univer-
sity of Delaware, Libby, McNeill and
Libby, and the American Potash In
stitute.
Following this field meeting on
July 2, it is suggested that tomato
growers keep in touch with the de-
yelOpments Of these various plots
throughout the remainder of the
season. 1t is planned to schedule
another field meeting on this farm
during the tomato ripening period
in order to give farmers the Oppor-
tunity to see the harvested results Of
these experimental plots.

And Il Is well that It is TO coffee

Because Of the highly develoDsd

We nave q motor vehicle for evers

million miles OF highway making

and most OF them are reached bv

Our military experts will doubt

Harvey C. Fruehauf, president Of
the Fruehauf Trailer Company, re-
garding the importance and the val
ue Of this quick mobility inasmuch
as the evacuation Of citizens In war
time is almost as important as the
transportation OF troops and sup
plies. The factories which have pro-
duced these peace-time transport
units are capable OF turning quickly
TO the manufacture Of afmOred me-
chanized units so vital in present.
day warfare.
Cars, trucks and trailers that are
forced of the roads always over
come the difficulties OF detours, and
Mr.. Fruehauf observes that although
the efforts Of the motor transport in
iustry have been concentrated on
the commerce Of peace rather than
wartime destruction. that here is
one fundamental industry which
contributes infinitely to our mili-
lary effectiveness.
It is of interest 10 know, at this /
time, that the semi-trailer can be
luiekly and easily detached from the

The disciples had t0iied ali night
out on Lake Galilee and had caught

And now with sail furled, the wet
I net lying in the bow empty, mocking
their aching arms and backs, their
little yaWl trailing astsrn as though
ashamed to follow them, the dis
heartened disciples we're rowing
throngh the mists Of the chilly gray
dawn.
They were heading, however, not
toward the WhafTes from which they
had cast OF the evening before with
such high spirit, but toward some se-
cluded spot along the shore where
they might land so as 70 avoid the
jibes Of their more successful kins-
men. ser
But right at this very secluded
spot they found the Christ waiting
for them!
Through the morning mists He
called ont across the water to try
their net once more. They did. And |
to their great surprise their net be- |
came filled with fsh!
And as the keel OF their little boat |
grated upon the pebbly' beach, what
a greeting awaited them! There was
a delicious Odor ia the air tOO---that
Of broiling fish and browning bis

How thoughtful was the Christ to
meet them as they were coming
ashore tired, discouraged, not only

,ut TO provide them with delicious
breakfast!
AS they sat about the fire and
,artook from Him of the fish and

lid they not noticed His hands2-

Are not those sacred hands still

hoover Says Keep
Out OF War Unless
Nation Is Invaded
60 - - -


ednesss and facilitatlon 81 supplies
and munitions ITO those nations who
ale 6ghfing for their freedom pro-
vlaed such assistance Involves no
action which takes us into war and
that as liberty lives by law we
must act within the law"
Hoover said 1T Is nonsense that
we cannot defend freedom here even
il the old world falls And to this
he added that the hope Of mankind
and the hope of civilization Is that
democracy survive on this conti-
nent"
OF the third term he said that
certainly the New Deal has not
been allergic to power. And now
fed on power they demand a third
term for Mr.. Roosevelt"
THAT is not mere violation Of
tradition" Hoover said. 1T is a
violation Of q Fundamental restraint
upon power in this republic. But
we Republicans would welcome Mr..
Roosevelt as candidate. For this
battle must be fought out under the
guns Of debate.
The seven stern tasks" which he
said must be undertaken If the ma
ton is to be prepared were these:
HFirst. We must restore and ne.
Vitalize liberty in America.
ASecOnd. We must restore and
rebuild morals in government.
@Thlrd. We must restore decent
life and living TO One-third of our
farmers and workers, who have
been chemically submerged BY the
New Deal.
@FOnrfh. We must restore com.
petence TO government
aRifth. We must prepare this
nation to defend the Western
Hemisphere.
@Slxth. We must develop and
maintain foreign policies that keep
us out Of these wars unless we are
attacked. We should facilitate all
nati0ns fighting for freedom In
procuring materials and muni.
tons, but subject to definite Ilmi.
tatiOns which keep us out Of war.
Seventh. We must recall eur
people from the flRbbiness of the !
New Deal. We must re-establish
stamina, character, and ideals,
We must regenerate hope and
confidence in America"
Hoover accused the New Deal-a
erm which he used throughout his II
peech so that he made virtually no 4
eferences to the Democratic Party E
of incompetence in its choice of
government officials, in its fiscal il
iolicies, in its purchase of three e
uarters of the whole worlds gold
upply," in agriculture, in relief, n
nd in national defense. p
He said Republicans would "wel- r
,ome" President Roosevelt as a ]
hird-term candidate; he recon- o
lended putting into circulation at S
Iome and abroad the 10 billions of e
dead gold" in this country; he en- +
orsed the principle of protection n
or labor, the farmers. the old, and v
he destitute: he called for an in
rease in national income to 100 bill [
ion dollars and a reduction in fed n
raj spending as an attack on the I
debt and deficit financing. /
