IAVE you ever noticed how
IL clearly and carefully the NEWS
in your newspaper is LABELED?
Dispatches tell you WHERE the
news came from; WHO said WHAT;
and, whenever possible, why he said
it, and what the OTHER side was.
Newspapers HAVE to be this care
full. True, you, the reader, can't
check up on them YOURSELF, but,
in a country where freedom of speech
and thought exists, no newspaper
can LIVE if it tells lies. Other news
papers, or even your free-speaking
neighbors, would quickly expose any
deliberate propaganda" to you.

In a democracy where every citizen
is voter, a PARTICIPANT in gov-

to INFORM the citizen. Some way
must be found to insure that he gets

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

people are democratic to the core.
Since the day of the invasion their
attitude to Hitler's salvation army
has been one of icy detachment. There
are no Nazis in Denmark except the
invaders, no Quislings save handful
of crackpots and social failures. The
Danish people are heart and soul one
with the world struggle against Hit
lerism. They believe in British vic
tory, long for it, pray for it.
"The Danish Council in London was
formed shortly after the invasion of
Denmark to give every active support
to the war efforts of Great Britain.
1t publishes weekly newspaper (Frit
Danmark). 1t sponsors Danish Ian
guage broadcasts from London giving
encouragement and news to the Danish
people.
"It has been active also in recruit
ing corps of Danish volunteers, and
in British Red Cross work. And it
looks after the interests of four to
five thousand Danish seamen on board
the fine fleet of Danish merchant ves-
sells that for over year has been
doing it's part to aid Great. Britain

Recent organization of "Free Dem

Indeed, few days before the inva-

sued orders to mobilize, but Cancelled
these orders the very day before the
invasion upon assurances that Ger

the Nazi insistence that mobilization
would be AN infringement upon the
holiness Of the non-aggression pact.

SALES TAX YIELD
in UPWARD TREND

A marked gain in the sales tax yield
was shown in the report of j. W.
Wendell, Butler County treasurer, for
the week ending September 20, the
last available. This report showed
$17,624.44 received, in comparison with
$14,288.17 in the corresponding week
of 1910.
Wendell said he believes this report
reflects only slight influence, or none
in anticipation of the federal revenue
act imposing extra tax on certain re-
tail purchases, effective October l
Undoubtedly subsequent reports for
September will disclose this influence
Wendell added.
Receipts in Butler County from the
sales tax from January / mounted to
$616,211.10, whereas the total for
1910, from January / to September q

to wait until he got back across the
Texas border for a dish of really hot
chill con carne.
I don't mean to imply that Mexico
doesn't have some hot dishes. 1t does.
There's a sauce called mole, in which
there are more than 25 ingredients
Sometimes it takes days to prepare
1t can be very hot, just as it can be
made more mildly.
1t is a mistake to assume that all
Mexicans like hot dishes. They don't
any more than do all Texans.
1t would be as true to say all Mex
leans like pastries. Many of them dc
and bakery windows are filled with
tremendous assortments of pastries.
How about pulque? Once it was
the common drink of the peon. In the
old days pulque trains ran into Mex
leo City as milk trains run into New
York and Chicago. Now you see little
evidence of pulque. Some, but not
much.

HOW LONG?

Americas traffic death toll con-
tinues to be shame and disgrace to
the nation. At time when it is more
important than ever to conserve hu-
man life and energy, we are killing
on the highways at an unprecedented
rate. A new all-time death toll of
1910 was set for Augusta II per
cent increase over the 1920 total for
the same month in 1940
And, as the National Safety Council
shows, the bad record this year can
not be entirely blamed on increased
travel. Gas consumption for the first
seven months of the year shows IL
per cent increase in mileage, while
there has been an Is per cent increase
in deaths.
Industrial accidents are also increas-
ing and the total of all accidental
deaths this year threatens to be
100000, truly appalling total. When
is the United States going to wake
up, act like nation of civilized human
beings and end this useless and tragic
slaughter?

PRICE is NOT FIRST
CONSIDERATION

Small plants must be given defense
orders regardless of the cost, William
Green emphasized in voicing labor's
insistence on spreading of defense
work to keep men and machines at
work.
"If this result (spreading of work.
is accomplished, it will be necessary
to disregard price," Green points out.
"The costs of converting small estab-
lishments for defense production,
higher administration and inspection
costs and perhaps higher unit produc-
tion costs are of little consequence in
comparison with the securing of guam
tity production in time for military
effectiveness and the preservation of
national morale by the prevention of
widespread unemployment"
President Green's position is sound
Price is not the first consideration in
the defense program. The first con-
sideration is production-and produc-
tion in quantity and in time, as the
A. F. of l.. head says.
Price, in fact, is minor consider
alton when compared with the basic
needs of production and employment.

FLEMING APPROVES
PAY INCREASE FOR
LUMBER WORKERS

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Rec-
concentrations by industry committees
for the establishment of minimum
wage rates of 35 cents an hour in the
lumber industry and 40 cents an hour
in the wood furniture industry have
been approved by General Philip B.
Fleming, administrator of the Wage
and Hour Division, U. S. Department
of Labor. These minimum rates will
be put into effect November 3.
Required payment of at least 35
cents an hour in the lumber industry
will increase the wage rate of about
10000 workers. The minimum of 40
cents an hour in the furniture industry
will increase the rate of about 43 900
workers. Most of the workers in
creased in both industries are en-
ployed in the South.
These two wage orders, the twenty
eighth and twenty y-ninth to be issued
under the Fair Labor Standards Act
of 1888, will bring the total number
of workers to receive wage rate in
creases under these orders to about
100000. Largest groups which have
received wage rate increases are
100000 textile workers; 100000 gar
ment workers; $4,000 railroad workers
and 10000 shoe workers. Except for
the railroad group, the majority of
these workers are women.
In announcing approval Of the lum-
ber and furniture minimums Gen.
Fleming clarified the division between
the lumber industry and the furniture
industry as defined for the wage or
ders. The definition of the furniture
industry includes "the manufacture
and assembling from wood of furni-
ture parts separately, set up or
knocked down. :" The furniture
industry will include, Fleming said,
all woodworking operations necessary
to the manufacture of furniture fol-
lowing delivery of the wood from the
dry kiln or air-dried dimension shed.
1t will include the manufacture of fur
niture parts whether made in the fur
niture factory or sawmill.
Wood parts, produced for furniture
manufacturers, wherever manufac-
tured will be considered furniture
parts" and within the furniture indus
try if the woodworking operations in
clude processes other than rip-sawing,
cutoff saving, molding, planning and
resawing. The manufacture of veneer
and plywood will be within the lumber
and timber products industry for
which the minimum will be 35 cents
an hour. However, the manufacture
from plywood or veneer of furniture
parts" will be within the furniture in
dustry for which the minimum will be
40 cents an hour.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This is probably the last of the COM
ment on Mexico.
Not that everything can be said in
a few columns-it couldn't-but the
fact is there are other things to talk
about, such as the war and things do
ing in the United States.
An outstanding fact is that Mexican
economy gets tied more closely to
U. S. economy every day. Mexico's
ups and downs will coincide with ours,
by and large.
Example: Mexicans do lot of work
with tin. 1t has become a sizable in
dustry Such things as trays, delight
full masks, candle sticks, flowers and
table plates are beautifully made OF
tin.
Those who have come to make a
living in tin now are up against it.
Their supply of tin is gone or nearly
gone. It's the war.
So it is with several things. "It's
the war" is going to be quite saying.
l heard a big jobber talk to his
partner about closing out their line of
stoves which use bottled gas. He
feared they would be unable to get
tanks for the gas-and so, no tanks,
no stoves.
Lets get out while we can save
our investment" was this mans ver-
dict.
A sidelight is that the stoves, as
well as the tanks for the gas are
shipped from the United States. Some
how, things like that fit into the
Latin-American goodwill picture and
need attention from that point of view.
Pm afraid that lot of to-be-un
ployed Mexicans soon will be pointing
a not-very-friendly finger at the
United States, with accusations that
Uncle Sam is the cause of their mis-
cry.
There are plenty of axis propagan-
dists to help stir up that feeling. We're
still long way behind the axis in the
matter of organized propaganda in
Mexico. And the axis has no morals.
1t will gladly descend to the vicious to
hit and hurt the United States. Sinar-
quismo is but one of the axis weapons.
wonder how many Americans know
that there is a big music business in
Mexico-sheet music and phonograph
records. The records are made in Mex
leo, by processes on which American
companies hold the patents.
And there are scores of pieces of
sheet music that are never heard in
the United States, but that undoubt-
edly would be immensely popular.
Each of the Latin nations has it's
own type of music. Mexican music
even the rhumbas-is entirely differ
ent from Cuban music, for example.
1t is Smoother" and it doesn't have
so much of the hysterical tempo.
Mexico welcomes the music of other
including lot of music from
the United States, which appears to
make real hit.
However, most Of the jitterbug
dancing is done by tourists.
There is big business done in ra-
dios, nearly all of which are made in
the United States.

Desperadoes Are Called

CARACAS, Venezuela. Nov, 81
Desperadoes swarming in the no.

Guiana were described yesterday in

serious danger, for they rapidly
could be converted into an expedi-
tionary force of 10000 men under
technical command"
The statement was made in con-
nection with the entry of United
States troops into neighboring Dutch
Guiana, which had the prior ap-
proval of Venezuela and other Latin
American republics, the newspaper
said, in consultations with Wash
ington.
FL Heraldo hinted that Venezuela
was preparing to cooperate with
the United States occupying forces
in some way to thwart any inter-
ference with the bauxite workings

mines long had been coveted by Ger
