What's The Use?

Editor FarlnVllle Herald,
A few months ago, you published
a letter written by me. in which
pointed out that If the Federal Re-
serve fellows kept raising the rental
tate Oh money, and if, as the presi-
dent advised. people would decide TO
spend less, the result would be that
there would be fewer Jobs and that
With a less number Of people en-
ployed. they would make less to
spend and with less to spend. they
would cut down on buying. and as a
result Of these things. manufactm-
ers would produce less and make
less money and pay far less taxes
to the government.
In my letter. ! explained all this
ln detail. but what good did il do?
The powers that be in Washington
paid absolutely no attention to what
! said IN my letter. and as a result,
the very conditions I warned about
are now rapidly developing,

some people anything. They Just ig-
more the good advice that is given
BY fellow ike me. even though
they get it free.

matters but am kept far too busy
making puzzles and writing verse.
10 take time to 20 TO Washington and
show them how the government
should DO run and how to send up
sputniks.
The way some people fail to heed
my advice fills me with a sense of
futility, and SO | say. what's the
