antics of brilliant comedian, the heart-quckening inspiration of biography, news almost soon as it occurs.
 The development of movies from the early days of the "flckers"-and there those of us who re- member those flickerng films of 50 years ago-to the superlave sound and color films of today, is diff cult to realize.
 But the movies part of life today. After fifty years, bet they here to stay, with or without television.
 Juneau theatres have their attractions for the first day of this Movietme, U.S.A., "The Mag nificent Yankee" at the Capitol and a comedy, 'Rhubarb," at the 20th Century.
 "The Magnificent Yankee" isn't colossal, are told it is just good. But it is good that those who don't see it in the days of its showing will be sorry when the picture is gone. It was chosen especially to begin the Movietime jubilee.
 And for variety the 2Oth Centurys comedy is good too.
 Between our two theatres everyone in Juneau will find movie suit his taste at this beginning of Movietime U.SA-a golden jubilee.
 It may take a 50th anniversary to make us aware of what the movies mean to us. But we are sure that everyone appreciates the beter world that is ours because of moving pictures.

 Movies in Alaska have television competition. Their principal competition is the home clubs and meetings that engage the time of movie patrons and keep them away from showhouses.
 Too often an exceptional film will come and go before potential patron has had opportunity to see it.

GETTING BIG LOAN

Here is how the system works out in Los Angeles, members of the Harvey Machine Company contrib ute heavily to the campaign funds of several Congressmen. Most of the time they bet their money on De- mocrats, because the Democrats are in power. But sometimes they also hack Republicans. In addition, Law renee Harvey wants to be Demo- cratic National Committeeman from California, chips in $l,000 at each of the last two Jackson Day din- ners and serves on the Sl00-a-plate committee welcoming Truman to Los Angeles October 8.
 Simultaneously the Harvey com pany wants big loan to build an aluminium plant. A lot of wires are pulled, Congressman who are re- cipients of campaign contributions go to bat, and To and behold, Har- vey comes up with a S46,000, ,000 loan. There's lot more to the story than that, but one of the most important features is the way certain very fine Congressmen have to become messenger boys for Har- vey largely to pay off political debt.
 It doesn't make for clean or effi- cient government.

 If occasionally you perplexed, trying to question sent you by government bureau, you may be heaftened to know that the National Production Authority has one it cannot answer
 For six months this group of Washington officials have been trying to determine what is the fine line between big business and little businesS.a
 Politicians have been liberal in their unwarranted abuse heaped upon so-called big business" But these same authorities in deep wonderment when it comes to determining what is a big" and what is little" business.
 So far their only is firm with fewer than 50 employees is small, and with more than 2500 employees is large. Then they add to the fusion by revealing fact that they have deerm- ined; one-thrd of any industrys output comes from small companes-fims that take and execute small contracts.
 It is indeed comforting to the average business man to know the National Production Authority is also confused.

kicked in half a million dollars on behalf of the United Mine Workers to elect Roosevelt in 1886, while labor all over the nation poured money into Ohio in 1850 to try to beat Taft
 The tragedy is that under the pre- sent system, money from some body or other is absolutely neces- sary. You can't run political campaign without it. Billboards cost about $1,000 each. Radio time can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars, while TV is going to cost even more. Governor Dewey turned the tide of the New York election last year in his last 24 hours of television, thereby setting a pattern which every important candidate will have to follow at tremendous cost and the necessity of passing the hat for more campaign funds
 Best way to prevent all this prob ably is to abolish all campaign funds and have a national kitty put up by Congress for each party If the Democrats and Republicans each were voted S5,000,000 to be allocat- cated state-by state on the basis of population, it would save five times-five million dollars in the elimination of graft and favorit- ism.
 Note-Biggest and strangest con- tributions by eastern bigwigs betting on Senatorial horse were the gifts that poured into South Dakota to re-elect the late Sen. Harlan Bushfield, Republican Contributions included S4,000 from Lammot Du Pont of Delaware; $2,500 from his brother, Irenee Du Pont; S2,0OO from their General Motors associate Alfred P. Sloan; $5OO0 from Ailsa Mellon of the Pittsburgh Mellon family; S4,000 from Sarah Mellon Scaife; S6,000 from the Pew family ot the Sun Oil Co.,, in Philadelphia S5,O00 from Colonel Mccormick of the Chicago Tribune;- $10000 from Mazey Jarmon of the General Shoe Co.,, in Tennessee; and $1,00O from L. w.

CHINA LOBBY CONTRIBUTES

Or take another case. when Sen- ator Bridges of Maine last ran for reelection in New Hampshire, AL fred Kohlberg, who lives in New York, not New Hampshire, con- tributed Sl,000 to Bridges campaign. Kohlberg just happens to be the key man in the China lobby.
 Another Bridges contributor, in fact his heaviest, also lives long way from New Hampshire-in San Francisco. He is Edward Heller, whose wife happens to be Demo- cratic National Committeewoman for California. Yet Heller, Demo- crat. contributed S3,000 to help Senator Bridges, Republican, stay in the Senate from New Hampshire.
 Significantly, Heller is director of the Wells Fargo bank of San Fran cisco, biggest repository of Chinese Nationalist money. Significant all so, Bridges, both before and since his election, has gone out of his way to defend Chiang kai-Shek. Once as chairman of the Senate Appropriations committee he even sent a lobbyist for Chiang's broth- er-in-law on a propaganda mission to China, clOaked as Senate repre- sentatiVe-though actually paid by the Chiang family.
 Obligating Senator has become so common that long rows of cam paign contributors from the Dela- ware Du Fonts turn up in South Dakota. while Texas oilmen sent several thousand dollars to Mary land last year to elect COP Sen- ator Butler.

Yves IMarSnau
For some reason or other, |
can't seem to get into the mood
for writing, possibly it's the
warm spring-like weather, no
thing like one might expect on
fourth of December. Looking out
across the square, you see the
many bright lights of the Christ
mas decorations but it still ap-
pears rather peculiar, for there
is no snow, no frosty windows, or
icy sidewalks.
Personally, as much as like
warm weather, Christmas just
doesn't seem right without snow;
however, this is not December
25 and just about anything can
happen between now and then.
Take last year, for instance,
no one would have believed in
the spring or late summer that
we would encounter, before the
year was over, a winter of such
intensity. A winter that would
require the closing of the
schools and the complete isola-
ton of the village of Caldwell.
Of course, the closing of the
schools did agree quite well with
most of the children of Noble
county, as it gave them just that
much more time to frolic in the
three feet of snow, which
blanketed this area. Honestly, l
was not exempted from this
merrymaking and can truthfully
say that I had the time of my
life.
AS you probably remember,
most of the hills in Caldwell
were covered with a coat of
snow. packed ice-hard by cars
going up and down them, when
they could, this actually was the
beginning Of the fun.
It started one night, around
seven o'clock, when several of
my friends asked me to join
them on a shedding party, up on
the Chautauqua grounds. This
did not last long however, for
the path we were using proved
to be fairly rough and , ended
with barely missing a tree and
fire hydrant.
After several close calls, we
decided to try the hill on the
main highway or 78, and found
much to our delight that by
starting with a little run, we
could coast all the way down,
around the curve and practically
to the planning mill. To be on the
safe side. We scavengered
around the neighborhood and
found three old kerosene Ian
terms, which the lead-man would
carry on the front of the sled,

Plant Food Can Help
Farmers Meet Call
For More Grain

THE call for bigger grain crops
= In 1882 emphasizes the need for
farmers to order fertilizer supplies
early, declared the Middle West
Soil Improvement Committee, in q
recent statement.
Stocks of grain are reported
shrinking In proportion to the num-
ber Of farm animals to be fed" says
the statement.
, Livestock feeders viii need more
grain to provide for increasing num-
bers Of cattle. Farmers will be asked
to boost feed production"
Agronomists report that yields Of
corn and small grain can be in
creased so to 100 per cent above
the state averages in most areas
by good soil management methods
including the use of fertilizer.
! These agronomists recommend
using 300 to 400 pounds of fertilizer
carrying nitrogen, phosphate and
potash at seeding time in the fall
and 4hen top-dressing with nitrogen
the following spring. Adding a full
feed Of plant food is important where
legume-grass seedlings are to be
made In the wheat.
Promptness In ordering fertilizer
Is particularly vital now in view of
the raw materials situation. Short
ages Of superphosphate have al
ready developed.

Can Not % Some
" ork " hen IL
Is Needed Most

Fall preparation for trash
mulch seedlings to be made next
spring is like patching the roof
before it starts to rain.
Either job is one that can not
be done when it's needed most"
says an extension agronomist at
Ohio State University. George
Gist point out, for example, that
it is hard to completely kill old
vegetation in the spring-when
the seed bed is prepared.
Most trash mulch seedlings are
made in the spring. Fall disking,
however, will make the spring
job easier. Fall working should
tear up existing vegetation and
leave it on the surface of the
ground to protect against erosion.
Killing existing vegetation is
one of four jobs Gist says are es-
sential to this method of improv-
ing pastures. Supplying neces-
sary lime and fertilizer is the
second step.
Fall also is good time to
spread lime on areas to be trash
mulched in the spring. Ground is
firm so that equipment can get
over it easily. Lime haulers may
not be as busy now as they will
next spring. If lime is applied
now, it will have time to react
wit hthe soil before legumes are
seeded.
Two other points to remember
are to sow adapted varieties of
seed and to manage pastures ac-
cording to recommendations for
the plants in the pasture. You
can't pasture an alfalfa-ladino
mixture the way you would pas
ture bluegrass-white clover"
Gist says. The first mixture. must
be pastured the way hay would
be removed-completely eaten
off and allowed to grow up
again.
County agents can help farm
ers select varieties adapted to
thei racres and can provide other
information on the trash mulch
method.
Gist says, at is an effective
of changing a rundown
field to one which yields desir-
able pasture. Lack of attention
to any one of the four jobs,
however, can mean complete
failure"

thus making it possible to see
and make it possible for cars to
see US. Of course, we realized the
danger of cars and if one was
sighted, we simply plowed off
the road into a snow drift and
let it pass. 1t was really a
beautiful sight; several sleds
going down the hill at intervals,
with the yellowish light of the
old lantern flickering on the
white snow, with the dark skies
and the twinkling stars of cold
winter. The only sound was that
of merrymaking and the buzz of
the runners, as they travelled on
the snow.
Actually, though, snow was not
needed, for it presented a pic
ture of oils as if it were a huge,
three demensional painting,
which has been etched in the
back of your mind.
This may seem rather insignifi-
cant beside the troubled world
of today. True enough, it does
not rate a headline, or even a
little story but it does have its
place. 1t is possible that it is
even more important than whe-
ther or not Lower Blovia is
loaned several thousand dollars
to exterminate some of the rats
in his Magesty's court, for it is
part of America. 1t is an Incl
dent that may be remembered

history.

History shows that when the in
f1ation bubble breaks - and it
always does-the prices of farm
products drop first. They drop
faster and further than the prices
Of most other products.
I" This trend Is clearly shown by
prices In the 1919-21 "bust" that
followed the uncontrolled imitation
of World War I. AS the chart
shows, price declines for farm
products were drastic, ranging
from So percent for beef cattle to
IS percent for potatoes. Because
of this drop in the prices of things
farmers sell, average farm income
in the same period went down
from $1,5l7 to $548.
In the next S years. between
1922 and 1926, 453,000 farmers
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1951-12-06

lost their farms by mortgage fore
closures.
One reason for the decline in
farm prices during depression is
that the farmer cannot cut pro-
duction to balance with demand in
the same way manufacturer
does. For example, between 1929
and 1882, automobile production
dropped rs percent, but automo-
bile prices went down only Is per-
cent; iron and steel production
dropped 83 percent. but iron and
steel prices dropped only 20 per-
cent. Farm production, mean
while, was cut only 3 percent but
agricultural prices fell so percent.
Price stabilization prevents run
away imitation and the economic
disaster that follows it.
