The United States declared war
on England June IS, 1872, to be-

United States began the Mexican
war May 10, 1846, when congress
declared war against the Next

NO FEAR FOR q. s.
IN TRADE BARRIERS

WHEN ANYONE attempts to tell
you we, as a nation, must do things
to protect our world markets, it is
well to remember few simple
facts.
America represents just about so
per cent Of all the purchasing
power Of the entire world. We are
as great a market place as all other
nations combined. 4
We do, OF can, produce 81 PEI
cent OF all the commodities needed
to maintein the American standard
of living. We could build q trade
wall around the country and suffer
no serious inconvenience.
Our one greatest item OF export
il raw cotton. We import in the
form Of manufactured products
practically as much cotton az we
export in bales.
II ID other nations, not America,
that would seriously suffer from any
trade barriers they might attempt
against us.

HOME TOWN PATRONAGE
OR ELSE

AS A SMALL BOY, knew the
then prosperous little town Of Yer
non, Iowa. I knew its four general
stores, well-stocked with the mer-
chandise of that time. These stores
constituted the foundation on which
Vernon was built. Their existence
was responsible for the comforta-
BILE homes of the town, for its two
churches and for its, for that time,
excellent school. The "drummers'
those stores brought to the town
made possible that hotel. The. bank
was dependent on the stores for its
business. Vernon was a market
place.
Then came the invasion Of the
mail-order catalogue, with con-
certed blitzkrieg on business Of the
town. The sales of the merchants
declined. With that decline came q
reduction in the quantity and vari-
ETY. Of merchandise offered by local
merchants. In time the stores
closed. With them went the bank,
hotel, homes, churches and the,
: school. h.sa
n Today Vernon does not exist, even
to the extent Of post Office. What
was once market place, q social
and cultural center, q place Of COM
Portable homes, is now a corn field.
The value OF those acres and other
farm acres surrounding the place
that once was Vernon is not as great
as 1t was 60 years ago.
There have been all too many
Vernons throughout America-too
many market places that have died
because Of the tendency to central
ize merchandising. Whenever peo-
pie Of q community permit their
market place to die from lack Of
home patronage they sacrifice their
social and cultural center, their
churches and schools, and turn what
has been q place Of homes into q
field. That, continued to q logical
conclusion, would make peasants Of
the American farmers. It would de-
prive them OF all that makes farm
life pleasant. a''s y

/ DRAFT Law BRINGS ABOUT
HEALTHY ASSOCIATIONS
- THERE Is A JOB the new army
Is doing that may not be realized
by all. It Is breaking down the class
consciousness that was growing all
too rapidly.
When the poor mans son and the
rich mans son sleep under the same
canvas or occupy adjoining hunks;
when they wear the same kind Of
clothing, do the same routine jobs
day after day, they find they are
very much alike. They are both
young men with the same aspira-
tions, much the same likes and dis
likes, both of them human.
i They find the top sergeant knows
no distinction between rich and
poor when it comes to naming a
kitchen police detail; that the rich
mans son can 60 to the guard house
for any infraction Of army rules
quite as quickly as the poor mans
son; that in army regulations there
Is no rich or no poor-all are sol
diers.
Out Of it all will come many thou
sands of lasting friendships between
the rich and poor. When it is over
and the poor boy goes to factory
job and the rich boy to the Office
desk, the friendship formed in the
army camp will continue and will
result in better understanding in
that factory.
Service in the army is making for
better American citizenship that is
fully as valuable as the making Of
soldiers. When the emergency is
over, the draft law should be con-
tinued, with the age limit reduced to
~ years, so all American boys, rich
and poor, may continue to get &C
quainted. The nation win be strong
er because Of such acquaintance.

Is one of the reasons we fear for the worst.
 Fighters seldom know exactly how they are going to operate once the gong rings. They may have a set plan of action only to have 1t completely upset by some incident occurring early in the first round. Tunney was able to carry out set plan in the first Dempsey fight mainly because Dempsey played into his hands; he did just what Tunney figured he would do, nalne- ly, he came out to meet the chal- lenger. Tunney had anticipated he would do this because 1t was typical of his style, and when he did Tun. ney wrapped up a right hand punch and threw it as hard as he could right in the old man nauler's kisser. That was the punch that decided the fight. The psychologi- cal effect 1t had on the fading champion was tremendous. From that moment on he knew he had a big job on his hands. Louis was able to carry out 8 set plan of att tack against Schmeling in their second fight. There wasn't much Schmeling could have done to check mate him. Louis simply swarmed all over the Nad before he could get his hands up and that was that.
 Not Bad Boxer
 Louis isn't a bad boxer. His st raight left jab is one of his best punches. It is good enough to win the fight for him If he elects to employ stabbing tactics. Of course we all know what 8 destructive puncher he is. Will he decide to box or slug? He hasn't said, prob ably doesn't know, possibly hasn't give it a thought. The experts seem to think he shuold come out slugging since 1t is patent he hasn't much to fear. Conn doesn't hit hard enough to stop heavyweights with a punch.
