Crop Loss Adjustments
Meeting Held Thursday

Ray Johnson and Floyd Wilker-
son of Lexington, who handle loss
adjustments for the Federal Crop
Insurance corporation in Holmes
county, attended meeting of
F.C.I.C. officials, Thursday at the
City hall. Adjusters at the meeting
agreed that the most difficult. cases
are those which involve loss due
entirely or in part to causes not in
sured against.
The F.DI.C. policy insures crop
investment against loss from un-
avoidable causes such as insects,
weather, and plant diseases, but not
against failure to follow good farm
ing methods.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that attempts are made by the cor
poration to pay indemnities in strict
compliance with the terms of the
policy, in order to protect all con-
cerned. Overpayments on an indem-
nifty beyond what the producer is
entitled to receive comes out of the
pockets of the other insured farmers
in the county, Mr.. Johnson said.

Weekly Letter

National Industries news service
IMPORTANT: We REFUSE to dis
cuss the POLITICAL demands
of President Truman. THESE
ISSUES BELONG TO THE
VOTERS TO DECIDE. Editors
everywhere approve our HON
EST POLICIES. So read what
they say.
BY ]. E. Jones
Washington, D. c. August-Pre-
sldent Truman in his address to
Congress told the Legislative body
that 1t should take strong, positive
action to check initiation and avert
another great depression. He asked
Tor authority to ration s'those few
products of short supply" which af
feet the National welfare. He init
mated that he might do a few Roose-
welt stunts and snap down with the
price control, rent controls, etc. He
did observe that the situation was
so critical that 1--WE cannot afford
to wait for the next Congress to
act"-to which he added most of
his old objections to the Taft-Hart-
ley labor law. He rebuked Congress
and said that if it had done what
he told them to do, 1--WE would have
lower prices today" He admitted
what everybody knows-that "the
cost of living is now higher than
ever before in our history" The
President is playing PERSONAL
politics.
His political alibi for the special
session was: 1--WE cannot risk the
danger, or suffer the hardship of
another eight months of doing
nothing about high prices" He pro-
posed to restore the excise profits
tax which he said was necessary
to provide a break in initiation. !"
Congress opposes this CAMPAIGN
TALK.
Il have said before, and l repeat"
he challenged, "that MANY profit
margins have been adequate to alb
sorb wage increases without the
price increases that have followed.
His vetoes of labor laws were over
ridden by Democrats and Republi-
cans. He explored many phases of
the initiation, and practically ad-
mitted that he, as President, has
lost most Of his controls over the
economic affairs and troubles of our
own Nation. He did not furnish anv
practical remedies that would bring
about a recovery from what is now
recognized by the American public

as a period of terrific infletion."
The Republican Congress shows
contempt for the President.
Of course, there is no use of dis
cussing the so-called Civil Rights"
program or "Dixiecrat" State rights.
Those issues have not been settled
at any time since the end of the
Civil War, more than 80 years ago.
Congress is not going to recognize
those issues. The voters may ex-
press themselves about those an
Gent quarrels. Just save your
breath and forget it until after the
next Presidential election in No
vember.
And again, the l9-billion dollars
that the United States has spent to
help many Nations, hasn't turned the
trick. This Letter is too high-grade
to engage in this FOOLISH FIGHT.
LABOR BOSSES
Right here at home the labor
union leaders have wrecked wage
scales in the big industries-all
manufacturers have raised prices to
avoid huge losses.
Prices of food, clothing and all
the necessities of life have gone
higher and higher. THE VALUE OF
OUR DOLLAR HAS BEEN SINK
ING LOWER AND LOWER UNTIL
IT'S PURCHASING PRICE is NOT
ONE-HALF WHAT 1T WAS IN
FORMER TIMES.
u. S. RUNNING BEHIND
There hasn't been a time in near
ly one hundred and fifty years that
prices were as high and as initiation
airy as they are today.
The United States has been pour
ing steady stream of dollars into
efforts to stop 'the next war" that
is blazing into fire in Europe. Our
National economy is twisted all out
OF shape, and initiation is gaining
at such terrific pace that none
of the measures proposed by the
President could be expected to re-
ceive the OK. of Congress.
What will the Congress do about
it? Nothing-at least, not much! The
present session of Congress will not
agree with President Truman.
If Congress acts before it is too
late it will not be until the new
Congress meets in January, 1949.
That is what will come ont of all
this row in Washington. MAYBE a

1T WAS just after the conversion
L OF Saul. At the time of our story,
nobody had ever heard of Paul.
only Of Saul as he was then called
and nobody heard anything good
He was bitter, ruthless man. He
had no use for Christians. Exter-
mination was his only answer to the
Christian challenge. The name of
Saul brought terror.
On this day of our story Saul had
been only three days a Christian
He had had nothing to eat all that
time. and he was said to be blind.
You may be sure that Christians
stayed away from him. His Jer-
usalem cronies had no doubt given
him up as crazy; but no Christian
would 60 near him either. At this
point our Ananias had a vision
The Lord told him to 60 to Saul and
lay his hands on him in help and
blessing. Naturally Ananias held
back. This was a dangerous man,
said he. But again the Lord in the
vision said, Go" and Ananias
went.
Suppose Ananias had said "No"?
That might have changed the whole
course of Christian history. How?
He could have thought Of many an
excuse. aren't there other men
who can baptize Saul as well as |
can? g. This whole vision may be
only mistake :" And so forth.
But not when it became clear to
him that this was Gods will,
Ananias went. though he still did
not like it.
How is it with you? When
you know what you ought to do,
what is the first thing you think
Of? How to do it, or how to get
out of doing it?

1t would be wise for you to ask
your ginner to have your cotton
sampled by the government class

BY doing this you can take the "a

your grade will be higher The
difference between middling and
