Americans Of future generations
will look back upon the America of
today and marvel that we could
have permitted this thing to be
done to us, just as We regard the
Salem witchcraft trials and hang
our heads in shame. Last year, the
Republicans, having been out of
power for many years. became des-
perate They were willing, after the
manner of politicians, to promise
anything, to make any accusation
that might bring votes. On the is
sue of Communism, they expended
themselves to the point of spiritual
bankruptcy.
OF course, for reasons of their
own, in this country little men, men
without a political principle or a
moral scruple. had been building up
fears Of Communism in the minds of
the thoughtless. And they had sue
ceeded to a degree that was sur
prising in a country that we hope
does not contain more than a
normal number of morons. 1t takes

death the hundreds who have fal-

Success More Than Hoped For.
The election last fall in many
parts of the country was just such
performance. The Republicans
screamed Communism" while point
ing their accusing fingers at their
Democratic opponents. The voters,
marking their ballots under the
flagellation of fear, achieved party
success that even the Republican
leaders had not anticipated. Per-
haps some had not even wished for
so overwhelming victory.
The Republicans know why they
won and so do the Democrats.
Moreover, the Republicans foresaw
an even greater political achieve
ment in 1948. They believed that
they had an unbeatable issue which
was theirs alone. However, they
neglected to copyright it. They
were to discover, to their dismay
that President Truman. on behalf
of the Democratic Party, had neatly
taken their dishonest issue away
from them.
The Republicans might blather

congressional election. What Presi-

For many years there has been only one
standard for comparison when motor car
quality is the topic of discussion-and that
standard is Cadillac. This great General
Motors leader represents all that is good and
fine in an automobile, and is used throughout
the world as a yardstick for measuring and
evaluating all others of its kind. Naturally,
there is no substitute for such motor car.

t3-Week- k-0Id Puppy
Becomes Lively PET
OF Rome Expedition
By comdr. Finn Rome


RONNE EXPEDITION BASE,
Marguerite Bay, Antarctic, Aug. 20
(Delayed.)-The great pet Of all
hands is small, strong, 13-week-old
white puppy which we have named
Kasco. He is the only survivor of
seven-puppy litter born to Gowdie,
a tan 1nalamute, during blizzard
and while the temperature was at
30 below on May 26.
Gowdie was then galley-fed until
Kasco reached the age Of weeks.
Since then the puppy has been fed
commercial dog food, with milk add
ed. His weight is now "A pounds
and it seems that a person can see
him increasing in size every day.
When 2 weeks old, KaSco looked
like pure-white soft-furred fox.
Puppy Has Own Yard.
| The puppy now ronaps around
daily in a yard Of his own, fenced
in by wire. He greets every one
coming near the fence to play with
him. Inside his yard, one Of the
men has built for Kasco small box
like house lined with canvas. When
the wind is really blowing and the
snow drifting you can see Kasco's
small head, with eyes staring, be-
hind a snowdrift, shielding himself
inside his box.
Kasco already has shown his in
telligence by climbing atop the piled
up drifting snow at the end of his
12-by-8-foot pen and jumping over
the fence into the snowy dog tun-
mel paying an unlimited visit to the
chained-up older dogs. He loves to
roll and curl up in the snow, pro-
tected from the cold now by a
heavy coat Of fur. When, oc-
casionally, he visits the Rome
quarters he loves to play under the
coal stove and usually comes out
covered with coal dust. His sharp
teeth made ravelings Of pair OF

Men Take Him on Walks.
The men take him on walks for
/ exercise and they are slightly dis
concerted when the puppy runs
through their legs each step they
take. Kasco loves this form Of play

Announces Details of
$20,000,000 Price Reductions

Details of the recently announced international
Harvester policy of making price reductions
to save users of our products approximately
$20,O0O,OOO year have now bean worked out.
We have reduced prices on 1853 models. These
cover IL basic models Of farm tractors, 1913
basic models of farm machines, IS basic models
of industrial tractors and engines, and II mod
els Of motor trucks as well as certain motor
truck attachments. The new lower prices are
effective as OF March 10, 1917.
These reductions were made not because of
any decline in demand, but because We believe
nothing is more important to this country than
to lower the prices Of the goods people buy
While prices have not been changed on ali
products, we have made reductions wherever
possible, in the amounts possible. Prices of
many of our most popular products have been
substantially lowered.
Altogether, more than half of the company's
customers will be benefited by the reductions,
which range from q to 23.8 q and from $3.50
to $500 per item, based on list prices, F OBJ
Chicago,
Since the people have demanded that the
government withdraw from price Contro, in
peacetime, the responsibility to keep prices in
check is back where it should be-in the hands
of business and industry. The business outlook
makes it possible for us to move toward the
goal of lower prices and we have felt duty
to act as promptly as possible.
Our ability to maintain these lower prices
will depend on the supply and price of materials
buy from others and on uninterrupted pro-
duction at reasonable wage levels.
The prices listed here carry out our an
nounced policy that ANY price is too high if
il can Be reduced"

to acquaint the students with
community resources which may
be used profitab1y in their work
as public health educators.
At the North Carolina Mutual
building these graduate students
were especially interested in
what they saw. in the medical de-
partment. DR.. Clyde Donnell,
medical director, gave them a
brief talk about life expectancies
as they relate to the interest of
the Life Insurance company, and
he pointed out to the students
that it will be their responsibility
to see that Negries live better,
and, therefore, live longer.
The following made the trip:
Howard Barnhill, Greenville;
Rudolph Robertson, Atkinson,
Kansas; Thomas Robson, Lau-
