To the Moderator, General Official
St IF and Members:
I come before you to rake my
second annual report since serving
in this capacity as President. wish
to assure you that it is a pleasure,
indeed.
When an Individual has been placed
in charge of a task and he or she
has done the job with joy, he is
proud when the time comes around
for him to make a report Of his
stewardship.
When we have the feeling that we
are right, our whole personality
functions smoothly, easily and affi-
.iently. Our mind is at ease. Our
Body submits readily to authority
and all life seems to be a unit When
u7ne is right, he has nothing to hide
anj~hothing to fear.
We have reached another mile
stone. I have tried to render you
service and yet, in my trying,
have not at all times come up to
your expectations I am not going
to try to make you believe that
have done my best because I have
not but I viii say this much I have
done my best under the prevailing
circumstances, in trying to carry a

the aspiration of our greater being.
the State Convention. Since being
your president think that just be-

going to the District Convention is

HOGS-Prices probably will de-
cline gradually during the next three
or four months. Supplies are around
the low point of the year, but new
crop hogs began to show up in late
July and will increase rapidly after
early September. By early Decem-
Der, slaughter will be nearly double
recent volume. Hogs sold in the next
few weeks at 100 to 225 pounds, if
well finished, are likely to bring

WHEAT - Prices may be fairly
steady in the next month or two, but
are likely to advance moderately

Market Outlook

Farm cash income during the rest
of 1850 probably will be larger than
last year.
CATTLE - Prices for the better
grades especially light wei G h is,
probably will hold up well in the
next month or two and may reach
new highs for the season.
Prices for grassers and warmed-up
cattle probably will decline.
Stocker and feeder prices prob
ably will weaken moderately in the
next two months. Offerings will in
crease. Inability of fat cattle prices
to rise much over present levels, the
narrow price spread between feed
ers and fat cattle and the possibility
of controls later on will make buy
ers rather cautious.
However. interest in feeding will
be high regardless of whether the

but total supplies promise to be or
4 percent less than last year. ''Free"
stocks will depend on the amount of
the 1850 crop placed under loan or
purchase agreement. Demand also is
likely to exceed earlier expectations
with wheat likely to be used to some
extent later on as political weapon.
However, any such increase in usage
is likely to come from government
stocks. The amount placed under
loan or purchase agreement will be
much less than last season. but seems
likely to be large enough to bring
about tightness and to force prices
up to or above the redemption level
by late winter or early spring.

WAR PRODUCTION WILL drive
the industrial machine at top speed
for the next year. Additional war
appropriation requests, originally
$1O,5OO 100000, have been stepped
up to $4,000, 100000, making total
war budget of $4,000, 100000.
Food supplies will be near the
high level of the last two years, but
wool and cotton supplies are short.
Increases in military needs will be
moderate unless tn e war area
spreads. But, with public buying
power also rising, major tendencies
of farm prices over the next year,
after allowing variations due to sea-
son, are likely to be moderately up
ward, unless checked by controls.
In mid-July, the index of prices
received by farmers was 263, against
a postwar low last December of 233.

COP. Candidate Riddle
Party Must Await Election This Year
To Determine Presidential Possibilities

AS practical help, they have
stemmed his flow of anti-statism
speeches and are trying to push
him off any firing lines where
the Democrats can shoot at him.
But sources once receptive to
an Eisenhower candidacy see it
otherwise. They think he has
passed his peak in popular esteem.
They say that his health seemed
seriously impaired last year by
stomach ulcers and that he must
guard against recurrence. Mrs.
Eisenhower is quoted by family
friends back home as disliking
the hard bright light that beats
upon the Eisenhowers' personal
lives when he is much in the po-
litical news.
Hoffman Pushed.
The Democrats will be just as
pleased if the Republicans do not
put the general to the test. The
past five presidential elections
have convinced them they have
little to fear from people they
can pin the Republican Congress
sional record on. With Gen. Els
enhower that would be more diff
cult.
They regret his present relative
taciturnity. Any time he wants to
speak they'll help to provide a
forum in obedience to the old
principle of give a man enough
rope, especially in politics.
Very quietly, friends of ECA
Administrator Paul Hoffman have
begun to put his name forward in
Republican circles. Mr.. Hoffman
has worked hard at his job, kept
out of trouble and has an agree
able personality. What he could
do with an American crowd has
not been tested.
Democrats here virtuously in
sist they are trying hard to beat
Senator Taft this fall but the
fact is they could be readily con-
soled If he wins. They think they
can beat him for President the
Ieasy way. -.

or Congress, it is likely to split,
rather than unite, it's popular
following. Congress is recalcitrant
because members recognize that
this or that plank Of the Presi-
dents program is not q party asset
but a party liability in their own
districts.
Provided With Alibi.
I suspect the President, who is
a shrewd politician, knows this
and is not wholly discontented. He
is left carrying aloft the liberal
torch, provided with an alibi, and
saved from defections which would
follow success for his whole pro-
gram.
Extremists of left or right are
perfectly justified in their hatred
Of political democracy-which boils
down to the rule of average opin-
ion. For the average man is, in
fact, both a liberal and q con-
servative. He thinks as he walks,
putting forward the left foot, then
the right, then the left. and thus
keeping a balance while progress
sing. He has a heart and q head
and is averse to being decapitated
or disemboweled to please the
idealogues.
Communism, like fascism, hates
democracy, precisely because of
this balance-because of its per-
petual tendency toward modera-
ton. It's revolutions and reactions
are always uncompleted.
That is why drastic revolution
ary overturns must be accom-
plished and maintained by force
never by democratic instru-
ments. For the democratic instinct
dislikes catastrophe-knowing that
there can be too much of even q
good thing, and that even good
things have a price.

The arrival in the well of the

wearing steel helmets and pistols,
grabbing members and throwing
them out, is something unimagi-
nable in this country.
Such action would bring forth
an outcry against the police state
and dictatorship. Not so in
France, however. Last Friday
night violent scenes were pro-
voked by Communists in the Ma
tional Assembly. Their forcible re-
moval from the Assembly by Mo-
bile Guardsmen under the "con-
stituted authority of the cham
ber." is nothing new. 1t happens
every time the Speaker of the
Assembly cannot restore order
during hot sessions.
The Speaker is far better cared
for and has greater authority than
his opposite number in the United
States. Like his American COL
league, he has an automobile and
a chauffeur at his disposal. But
besides this he is given a large
and lavishly furnished apartment
in the Palais Bourbon, where the
Assembly meets. With the apart
ment go an appropriate number
of servants.
Struggle for Hat.
Traditions established many
decades ago are scrupulously OBJ
served in the Assembly. The
Speaker must wear white tie,
tails and have top hat on hand
whenever he presides.
Each day a formal ceremony
occurs when he leaves his apart
ment to go to the cham
ber. A detachment of Republican
Guards, mostly retired non-com-
missioned officers under the COM
mand of a lieutenant, is lined up
outside the Assembly. When it is
announced that Monsieur lie
President" has left his abode they
present arms while a drummer
rolls a salute. Gravely the
Speaker passes between the two
lines of guards and enters the
Assembly.
His stovepipe hat is not an
ornament for his head, but a
symbol of authority. Whenever
the deputies start a roughhouse
and the little silver bell, which
replaces our gavel, fails to quiet
them, Monsieur lie President puts
on his silk hat and walks out.
This signifies that the Assembly
has recessed.

Unlike the Democrats who have
practically foreclosed President
Truman's denomination in 1852
the Republicans do not and can
not know where they will turn
for their next Presidential candi-
date.
Only after the 1850 election re-
turns are counted can they guess
with any accuracy at the trend
of the times and the current pop
ular status of their leaders. Their
present discussions are heavy with
"ifs."
If Senator Taft wins big this
fau-it must be big-he can
launch a powerful drive for the
nomination.
If Thomas E. Dewey seeks re-
election as Governor-the word
here is that he willard wins, he
must be included in.
If Gov. Warren again gets both
Republican and Democratic re-
nominations this fall-this is not
expected-and/or wins easily, he
cannot be ignored.
If Harold Stassen's ex-manager
Jay Cooke, becomes Governor OF
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Stassen can be
expected to try again.
Opinion Split On Eisenhower.
Speaking generally. if the many
conservative Senators up this fall
are moved down, the practical
politicians will begin a somewhat
frantic search for new faces. Con-
versely. if this group triumphs,
Senator Taft included, Senator
Taft will greatly benefit.
Gen. Eisenhower remains the
only outsider widely discussed as
a possibility should the Taft
school meet heavy reverses. A
rather considerable difference OF
opinion exists over whether he is
as available as ever.
His friends argue yes. They
see no dimunition of his public
renown or popularity. They say
that present perils and the dan
ger of war will turn people S
thoughts in his direction.

Tells How to Catch
Runaway Leopords
By Henry McLemore

BY Henry McLemOre
Today's essay has to do with
leopards and razors which, even
if I do say. so myself, shows a
ccmmendable change of pace.
Ever since that wild leopard
escaped from an Oklahoma City
ZOO and went leoparding around
to frighten half the population
half out of its wits, the postman
has been bringing me letters re-
questing that I do a story giving
complete information as to the best
way to catch runaway leopards.
Seems as if every town with a
ZOO feels bit uneasy.
Just why I should be selected
as an authority on returning wild
animals to their cages is some
what a mystery to me, since the
biggest thing I ever killed was a
mouse, and I did that with the
business end of a broom while
standing on a chair.
Would Turn Lions Loose.
But in this highly competitive
world a columnist cannot afford
to let down a single reader, no
matter what the request is. So
here goes:
Ofhand. I would say that the
best way to rid a city of a wild
leopard on the loose would be to
open the lion cage and let a few
lions out to roam the highways
and byways. Lions and leopards
are natural enemies and are GER
tain to get together for rousing
fight and SO times out of 100 the
lion, being much larger than the
leopard, will dispose of him.
OF course, this leaves a few
lions ambling about the neighbor-
hood, but there is a cure for that.
Go to the tiger cage and free a
few Of those tawny fellows. They
hate lions like poison and will set
of for a 15-round bout with the
named critters. AS a rule, tigers
are better fighters than lions and
will rid a city Of lions.
Now the city will be cleared of
leopards and lions, with nothing
but the tigers roaming free, wide
and handsome. However, that is
none Of my business. All my
readers asked about were leop-
ards, so I feel under no obligation
to discuss the best way to catch
tigers.
Given Electric Razor.
AS for razors, an anonymous
donor has sent me an electric one,
and it has completely changed
my way Of life. I used to do my
shaving in the bathroom, but no
more. AS soon as I mastered the
mechanics of the electric fellow
I went to the hardware store and
bought me 100 feet of electrical
cord, which with the cord that
came with the razor, enables me to
shave almost anywhere on my
property. I shave when am
moving the lawn. when I am
washing the car, when am eat
ing, and when I am watering the
flowers. The electric razor throws
OF such a fine dust of whiskers
that they are hardly noticeable,
even when they settle on an
omelette or a pork chop. In fact,
my whiskers. being a lovely shade
OF red, look better than paprika
on most foods and have a tangy
taste that Is only slightly less
than exotic.
I'll admit that my neighbors
consider me crazy for shaving out
OF doors. There is always chance
that they are right.

Suffered Injustice.
The clearing Of Abe Zeiger is
related since it is the sequel Of his
