RODEOS CONTINUE

The first part of 1943 h a 8
shown that the rodeo is so pop
ular as a sport and so deep rooted
in the hearts of the public that
their support guarantees that it
more than likely will not be a
war casualty. The greatest hand
leap is that Of man-power and if
it were not for that particular
problem it would be showing far
greater popularity than ever be-
fore.
Somehow these ardent fans find
ways of getting to their favorite
recreational place. there to enjoy
the friendships of long standing
and cheer for the contestants as
they endeavor to show the many
thrills of ranch life.
Attendance exceeds the expect
atoms a n d the enthusiasm is
far greater than has been shown
if that is possible, in many years.
This is an inspiration to those
who have to work far more than
in past years. for they know that
this morale builder is of great
Importance to not only the civil
patrons but to the armed forces
as we'll. That makes it easier
for all to carry on when perform
ances are up to standard and the
public has received a real enter
tainment which h as benefited
them for the arduous work yet
ahead.
Hundreds of letters have been
received from bows in service that
the civic leaders do all they can
to keep this spirit and their be-
loved sport alive until they re-.
turn home. Here is a challenge
to every community which has
in the past produced a rodeo to
keep it up if at all possible, not
only for this year but for the
years ahead. 1t is the one Am
erican sport which appeals t o
thousands and gives courage to
overcome h e problems which
arise every day Of our lives. This
is the courageous spirit which
made the nation great and it ia
the ideal which will keep US as
t h e best nation of all.-RAA

Then knowing tnaC Two wrongs
do not make a right, Spangler is
equally guilty of making a play
for tn e soldier vote. Had the
President not waited until 10
months after we entered the War
to make this announcement,
Spangler and his other political
opponents. could not have put a
political Interpretation upon it.
Ergo, while the Presidents prop
osition is sound, his timing was
a bit off.
AS early as March 1912, just
three months after Pearl Harbor.
Dewitt Emery. President of the
Small Business Mems Association
proposed that Congress vote a
6 billion dollar bonus for service
men. Briefly. his proposal was
that Congress Immediately vote
adjusted compensation at h g
rate of 81 day for service in
continental United States and So
a day for overseas service; that
a minimum of SIS be paid to each
service man on the day he is dis,
charged, one half of the balance
within 80 DAYS and the remainder
one year from the date of dis
charge; with disabled men, of
course. receiving special care.
On April 26, 1912, this column.
ist released an editorial heartily
endorsing Emery's proposal. In
doing 80, we said in part: BE.
cause we inexcusably made mad
equate financial provision for our
service men at the conclusion of
World War l, we paved the way
and finally reaped the whirlwind
of a bonus racket. Mr.. Emery's
proposal would forestall a repeti-
ton of this. 1t seems littlei
enough to do for the men who
have taken up arms for the de-
tense of the American Way, to
guarantee their financial security
during the rehabilitation period.
Most of them are now cheerfully
making great financial sacrifices,
and it would soften the blow if
their minds were put at ease as
to what is to happen to them
when they have achieved victory
over the Axis
We feel even more strongly
about it today. We regret that
Congress has been o dilatory
about taking action in this mat
ter. 1t should make it one of its
first pieces of business when it
reconvenes after the breathing
spell its members are now taking
to enact legislation making a
definite commitment as to post
war compensation for our return
ing heroes and heroines.
Surely, while there will be dis
cussions as to just how much and
as to just when and how this
compensation will be paid. there
will not, we hope, be one dissen-
ting voice in the Congress on the
basic idea. be that voice Demo-
cratic or Republican. Such un-
animity on the part of Congress
would purge the matter of any
political implication. No candi-
date for office at the next cleo
ton could claim preference for
himself or his party on the
strength of his support of such a
measure as all would have equal

Well, Lefty may have been a

but he wasn't exactly dumb. He
began his plan for vengeance by
writing long and forgiving let
tiers TO Duncan, who had been
handed only year.
At first, Duncan was suspi-

every reason 10 hold murder in
his heart. But the latter's let
tiers contained so much sweet

Eases Vengeance

IVES, Duncan began 10 believe
Il those letters-and Lefty was
happy. That made the entire
plan for vengeance so much
easier. He was so anxious TO
knock off his old buddy that he
could think of little else.
Lefty didn't stop TO think that
what he was about 10 do, was
ratty in itself. The sneaky ele-
ment in his plan for vengeance
never hit him at all. Now that
the big moment was at hand,
the thought never struck Lefty
that-had their positions been
reversed-he would have rated
TO the police about Duncan to
save his own hide >.
Duncan rounded the corner
suddenly and walked right up 10
Lefty. Lefty swallowed hard,
then grinned. The two men
shook hands and patted each
other on the back. Just two
grand old buddies.

said Duncan.

and lowered his voice.

hard that they rubbed some OF
the fibers Of the cloth into the
tiny splinters of wood.

So he finally decided on an
oblique method and invited Cot

"Why did your wife kill her

he hurled at the farmer.
II obviously caught Cotton off
balance; but after a short lapse
the farmer pleaded:
Don't say that about Marcy.
How could you think that Marcy

Flashes $40 Bill

DOTH had wandered into the
D same pool room. Lefty Sug-
gested a game. Duncan agreed.
And while they were playing, a
kid at the next table flashed a
$50 bill.
They smiled and continued
their game. But they also talked
about the kid with the 20 bucks.
Lefty said he could certainly
use 10 of il. And Duncan swiftly
agreed that he could use the
other 10.
The job was a cinch.
After that, the two men be-
came partners in crime. They
began on a very small scale and
gradually worked their way up
