not like mushroom soup patronizes
a supermarket where one day he
happens to see mushroom soup on
the shelf, and he is so enraged by
the. sight that he scolds the man

Unlikely as this hypothetical Incl

woman recently wrote me saying
that she had read and enjoyed the
Senate Cloakroom for three years

her first letter to me because she

vised by a Mr. Fourcarde to avoid
paying Madrid's high tariff on re-
fined oil for lamps, but Lowell's
official report was in language not
of the government official but in
picturesque language of the poet
Here are Mr.. LoWell's exact words:
MIR. Fourcarde's object was to
smuggle petroleum into Madrid
without paying the tax. To this
end he established storehouses in
the suburbs, and then hiring all
the leanest and least mammalian
women that could be found, he
made good their physical defects
with tin cans filled with petro-
leum, thus giving them the pic
torial proportions of Juno.
For some time these seeming
mothers passed without question
into the unsuspecting city. Mr.
Fourcarde's pockets swelled in eX-
act proportion to the breastworks
of the improvised wet nurses
But one fatal day he sent a
damsel whose contours aroused in
one of the guardians at the gates
an emotion. With the playful gal
lantry of a superior he tapped the
object of his admiration, and it
tinkled! He had struck oil I'M
aware! Love shook his wings and
fled; duty entered frowning; and
Mr.. Fourcarde's perambulating
wells suddenly went dry

! Only 80 Miles From Our Coast
You can look almost anywhere
on the globe today and find Red
, pin marking a trouble spot-Laos,
Victnam, The Congo, Berlin, Gen
eva, Cuba OF most Importance
and most immcdiacy-to us is the
crisis only 80 miles from our
Florida coast. Liberty and indie
pendence for American nations
has been basic us foreign policy
since President Monroes day.
Sixty-three years ago we fought
a tyrannOus Spain to free the
Cubans. Whether or not we should
stand by and let the Cuba we
freed and the Cuba at our very
doorstep come under the domina-
ton of tyrannous Russia is be-
ing debated everywhere Cuba's
Castro sold out to the Russians
The hostility of the CastroiteS to-
wards the U. S. is so venomous
that, in an earlier age of unilateral
action, Uncle Sam long since would
have been provoked into crushing
these pipsqueaks kicking his shins.
Money In Not Farming-A re-
cent Baltimore Sun editorial called
attention to our silly farm-subsidy
system under which the Govern
mcnt pays farmers for not farming
One shocking case was described
in detail and although it may be
an unusual case it illustrates what
can happen under this cockcycd
program.
In farm estate settlement, one
of the estate managers was al !
lowed to buy a 6960-acrc ranch at |
$50 an acre, with 10 years to pay
the S139200 purchase price Not !
having that kind of money. he |
worked out a plan: He would cut !
the ranch into 6 sections, lease i
each section to a tenant, and get |
each tenant to put the maximum |
allowable into the soilbank The |
Government rental for Soilbank |
land there was 81 an acre This !
meant that over a 10-year period !
the Government would be paving !
$40 per acre to keep cut of cultiva-
ton $20-per-acre land. Each tenant |
would pay over this soilbank /
money TO the land purchaser as
rent having the balance Of the !
leasehOld free TO cultivate The |
purchaser in turn would meet the |
installments on the original pur- |
chase price out of this soilbank |
money. It's working out all right |
for the purchaser. The Govern
mCnts soilbank payments come to |
S27 900 d year At the end of To- !
year soilbank period, the pur-
chaser will have paid off the $780,
200 purchase price and have left
$131 800 plus a 6,96O-acre ranch, all
paid for by the American taxpay-
ers.
AS you know, l have consistent
ly opposed the principle of farm !
subsidy

month period varies greatly.
Henderson suggests that you
take look at your operating ex-
penses to date then estimate ex-
penses for the remainder of the
year.
III the total income is higher
than normal, hold off selling any
thing. Stock up on feed, fertilizer
and fence posts. If income is low,
delay buying items until after Jan.

ments to carry purchased items
"on account, payable after the
new year begins, he adds. If the
market is favorable, it may also
be good time to sell grain, live
stock and other farm produce. You
may be giving yourself a big
Christmas present in tax savings,
he adds.

On Social Security

III have been paying social secur-
ity taxes as a Self-emplOyed
farmer for several years. This
year | expect to have a loss
from my farm operation. Is
there anyway | can get social
security credit?
Alarm operators who have a
loss may use the optional meth
cd of reporting farm income
in order to get sOcal security
credits. If your gross income
is at least $500 but not more
than $1.800, you may report
2/3 of your gross income. If
your gross exceeds $1,800 you
can report $1,000 for social
security purposes. Your social
security office would be glad
to give you more detailed in
