conceive of living anywhere but in
Manhattan. But She DIDN'T like the

thought that living here in this

nothing less than heaven. A touch
of paradise added to her present
plane of existence.
Then the apartment.
1t was attractive. Roy had to adj
nit it. High ceilings, cream-colored
walls that would make a nice back
ground for his collection of early
American prints. Deepest windows.
A large fireplace that really
worked. y southern exposure. sun

EVERYTHING at the restaurant
was in readiness.
Roy thanked the manager, and
promptly at one-thirty he ushered
Susan Farmer into the private din
ing room, where she was intro
duced to the employees of the
Dainty Diana Diaries, who were
gathered together to do her honor.
Greetings. Laughter,
Chatter.
1t was when they We're having
their atter-luncheon coffee and
cigarets that Mr.. Jones got up to
make a little speech.
"Attention, everyone!' he called,
rapping upon the side of his cup
with a spoon. you're all to be at
the broadcasting studio for back

ar. want all of you to give her a
great big hand-let the listeners-in
throughout the country know that
you approve of her with all your
hearts,
That won't be difficult said a
handsome young clerk. Il DO ap-
prove of her"
Susan flashed him a smile.
How SWEET she said.
Mr.. Jones went on.
1--WE want to make the entire
country fall in love with her he
said.
That won't be d%iticult,' said an
other young man. I've already lost
my heart"
Goodness me-" said Susan-and
decided to let the matter rest right
there.
And now" said Mr., Jones, turn
ing to a waiter, fill up all the wine
glasses
Yes, sir" The waiter signaled
TO others, and soon every glass
upon the table was filled with the
amber-colored wine purchased for
the occasion.
Drink, everyone said Mi,
Jones. He stood with his glass held
high. ITO Miss Typical Farmers
Daughter! Health, happiness and a
long, long life"
They all drank. Susan watched

applause.
Roy looked at Susan with new in
terest.
DO you mean,' he asked, that
you're going to spend your prize
money to 90 things to your farm?
Make improvements, and-and-all
that sort of thing?'
YES said Susan, II am. She
looked worried for a moment.
Don't you approve?'
DO l." said Roy. Gosh, I think
it's wonderful. Most girls would
buy an automobile, a lot of clothes,
and so on a big splurge."
1t would be nice to do those
things, l reckon" said Susan. But

Propaganda FOR Democracy
(By Ruth TaylOrl

When we think of Propaganda
we think of an attempt to con-
ceal the facts to foist an idea on
am unsuspecting public-to put
across something. The word has
been distorted far beyond its
original meaning. 1t has been
the mask for the spreading of
subversive ideas, for the stirring
up Of hatreds, and the breaking
down of morale. Originally the
word propaganda was the name
OF an organization for the edu-
cation of missionaries - men
whose life work it is to spread
the faith-to difuse the darkness
OF ignorance with the light of
truth.
Today we need to put on q
real campaign of propaganda for
democracy = propaganda in it's
truest sense a spreading of the
light of truth. This is a task for
the individual. Whatever success
he comparatively small Il, lmber
+ FIT: Columnists, the small

'nerNnt nave had, stems from
tc- fact ,Aat each is an active
lopagandist Those of us who
believe in democracy should learn
learn lesson from them, and at
all times actively defend, and
live up to our beliefs.
This does not mean a Survile
acquiescense to even an elect
ed authority. Criticisms Of Co
vernment are justifiable and in
deed desirable when there is
sint ere differenc of opinion re
ga .ng public questions. 1t is
tf freedom enjoyd by the OPP
pc ion which saves our country
from the attacks of alien forces
and influence. The promoters of
Communism, Nazism and Ease
ism must constantly have their
tongues in their cheeks while
they take advantagc Of the priv
aege to say pretty near what
the please against our from of
government in order to bring
about a governmental system
which would deny them this
very privilege.
The American form of govern
ment is the last stand of demo-
cracy, the last stand for freedom
for the individual. Democracy
can be-is-a thing to be proud
Of-a thing to work for-if need
be die for. And the fight for it
calls for a strong propaganda
campaign. .,'S ,lT

kcGehee Would Suspend
District JObIess Tax

Chairman McGehee of the Judic-
iary subcommittee of the House
District Committee announced late
today he planned to introduce soon
a bill that would suspend for four
or five years the employers payroll
contributions to the local unem-
ployment compensation fund which
now has an accumulated surplus of
nearly S20O00000.
A drastic" reduction in the pres
ent payroll tax of OF per cent was
recommended to Congress several
weeks ago by the Unemployment
Compensation Board as means OF
keeping the surplus fund from con-
tinuing to expand far beyond the
amount needed to meet anticipated
benefit payments. Last year the
tax was cut from 8 to 2.7 per cent
and the benefit payments increased
because of the rising surplus.
Representative McGehee said his
bill would suspend the payroll tax
until the surplus in the benefit fund
drops from S20,000,000 to $4,000, 900.
Benefit payments now amount to
about S2,00O0OO year Mr.. Nc
Gehee believes that at the present
rate of benefit payments the tax
could be stopped for at least five
years and still leave an adequate
reserve in the compensation fund.
He said, however, his bill would not
provide for higher benefit payments
to the UNEMPLOYED.

Thirteen acres of land, acquired
years ago by the late Senator Will
liam E. Borah for the home he
never built, were offered by his
widow today to the State of Idaho
as a site for a tuberculosis hospital
at Boise.
"The only condition I attached
to this gift was that the hospital,
as contemplated in State legislation,
should be named the William E.
Borah Memorial Hospital" said Mrs.
Borah, who telephoned her offer
to c. c. Anderson, chain store ex-
ecutive at Boise, after she had re-
ceived inquiries as to whether the
land could be purchased.
"The Senator and I had often
dreamed of the home we would build
on this tract when he retired from
the Senate at the end of the term
that he was serving when he died."
Mrs. Borah added.
The 13 acres, near the cemetery
where Mr.. Borah was buried a little
more than a year ago, is on a bench
overlooking the city.
