The Greatest Team

So the American League, the youn-
ger of the two Major Leagues, has pro-
duced the three best teams in baseball
history, according to the sports editors.
Some may argue about that and about
John McGraw's Giants not being inclu-
ded.
But all must agree that the team
with Ruth and Gehrig on it was won
der. In 1927 Gehrig batted 1878 and hit
Az home runs. But he was oversha-
dowed by the Babe, who hit so homers
and batted 1856. Both Gehrig and Ruth
were to die tragic deaths not too long
afterwards.
There is great interest, and nostal-
gia, in the greatest sports teams. But
it is really impossible to say whether
the Yankees of 1927 could have whip
ped the Cardinals of 1912, etc.
That we will never know. Like so
many Of the voting temptations, inclu-
ding the naming of the so-called best
dressed, this vote is only Of interest
as nostalgia and recognition Of some Of
the great teams.

One Of the constitutional amendments
now being pushed by advocates of states
rights is one which would set up Court
of the Union, empowered to review Su-
preme Court decisions.
Arkansas, Florida and Wyoming have
already approved legislation petitioning
Congress to call constitutional conven-
tion to enact such a constitutional a.
mendment and others, as this is written.
This device - the constitutional con-
vention - has never before been used.
But it is provided for in the Constitu-
tion. Two-thirds Of the states can petit
tion for such convention and Congress
must call it. The convention can then de-
eide upon amendments to the Constitu-
ton.

ACT OF CONGRESS PUBLIC
LAW 140
Out Of my deep respect for
Congressman Charles E. Ben
nett of Florida, Let me state
that he was the person chiefly
responsible for getting the mot
to "In God We Trust" placed
on our paper currency.
Said Rep. Bennett: 1t is my
position that "In God We Trust"
is the best possible phrase for
us to officially designate as the
national motto of the United
States. Our forefathers had a
deep and abiding trust in God,
the greatest heritage left to US,
their descend ants. But when ma
tions become prosperous, the
people tend to think Of them
selves as sef-sufficient, as
masters Of their own destiny.
The phrase "In God We Trust"
simply but forcefully expresses
our humble acknowledgment Of
the wisdom and power and mer-
cy Of God. In these days when
imperialism and materialism
seek to destroy freedom, we
should continually look for ways
to strengthen the foundations Of
our freedom. AT the head should
be Americas faith in God and
our desire to live by His will
and guidance. .(as was en-
phasized by Major Cooper in
his recent talk before Con-
lgress).

es. By the time he is 65, he will have
contributed, between his own and his
employers payments, over $4,000.
IF that same money were banked at
40 per cent compounded quarterly, he
would accumulate about $4,000 at re-
tirement age. This money continued at
40 per cent would bring in an income of
about $2,125 yearly. On the other hand,

Baseball fans everywhere were in
terested recently when the Academy
of Sports Editors voted on the ques-
tion of the greatest baseball team ever
fielded. The result: The New York Yam
KEGS of 1927.
This was a Yankee team which
lined up as follows: Gehrig, 1B, Laz-
zeri, 2B, Koening, SIS, Dugan, BIB, Meu-
sel LF, Combs, CT, Ruth, RF, and Ben
cough, C. Pitchers were Moyt, Moore,
Pennock, Pipgras and Reuther, among
others.
Second best team, the sports edi-
tors thought, was the Philadelphia Ath-
letics of 1929-31. This was Connie
Mack's last great team, the one ne
broke up because it was so powerful
Great hitters like Foxx and pitchers
like Lefty Grove dominated this great
team, which also included names like
Cochrane, Collins, Simmons, etc.
The third best team was thought
to be the 1936-37 Yankees. Fourth place
went to the wartime Cardinals Of 1912

The Short End

The Seattle, Washington, Post Intelli-

serves more public understanding on the
part of the man in the street than it en-
joys: 'The basic difficulty, inherent in
any socialized welfare service, is that
once the system takes root, the admin
istrative overhead becomes SO extensive
that the public necessarily gets the short
end of the stick"
1t uses the Social Security System as
an example. 1t was established in 1887
on the theory that it would provide
benefits to those available under private
plans. See what has happened: e. con-

BEWARE OF HYPROCRISY
When personally visited
Moscow five years ago, I found
that Communism was the result
of the cruelty practiced by the
priests Of the old Russian
Church. These government
priests talked about God and
Jesus Gospel, but absolutely
ignored them in practice. This
caused the Russian people to
suppose that all religions would
be cruel. This is really what
started Communism. This
cruelty has again arisen under
the leadership Of Castro in
Cuba.
l hope I am wrong; but I
fear that our adopting the motto
"In God We Trust" and having
1t printed on our currency will
not give the poor countries Of
the world the correct idea Of
what Jesus teachings really
were. What we should do is to
conduct a real campaign sup
ported by our embassies in all
countries to demonstrate our
belief In the teachings Of Jesus.
Then we can, with good con-
scious, display the motto which

Soybeuns & Millef
En- erseney Crops

Are you going to need extra
hay this year? Now is the time
to do something about 1t. A mix
ture Of 1920 pounds Of Millet
and 1-1/2 bushels Of soybeans
per acre seeded now will pro-
duce from 2 to 8 tons Of good
quality hay, according to VIM.
H. Henderson, County Agent.
German Millet is the be st
variety and either Bethel or
Ogden varieties Of soybeans
should be used as they produce
the greatest amount Of vege-
tative growth.
Care should be taken in seed
ing In order that the Millet will
not be covered too deep.
An application Of 500 pounds
of a 10-10-10-fertilizer drilled
In ahead of the seeding will give
an increased yield.
BY harvesting the crop about
July goth, 1t Is possible to make
a second planting and which car
be harvested the latter part O.
September and thus increase the
total tonnage Of hay produced
While there are other crops
that can be used for emergency
hay such as Sudan Grass, Oats
and other small grains, none OF
them provide either the quality
or quantity of hay as the soy
bean and Millet mixture.
Further infor m alton OF
emergency hay crops is avail
able at your County Extension

WHAT ABOUT THE
RESULT?

l wish our dollar bills and
other currency could read, "In
God We Should Trust, but I
expect that Mr.. Bennett would
not have succeeded In persuad-
ing Congress to enact this into
law; therefore, certainly COM
mend what he has done. / must
also, however, be frank with my
readers although l may be
wrong. Here is my reasoning:
With the huge amounts OF
money which we are now spend
ing on ornaments, the motto
"In God We Trust" must seem
rather hypocritical to many ma
tions of the West. Also, nations
such as Russia, China, and other
Communist countries and their
satellites, including Cuba, as
we'll as perhaps some Central
and South American countries,
must likewise think us hypo-
critics.
IN JESUS VIEW
It certainly seems as II Jesus
must look with great despair
when He sees us use the motto
"In God We Trust" when we are
really trusting in our missiles,
|bombers, and almost everything
else except God. Although the
majority Of individuals are still
putting their trust in God, last
year we as a nation spent over
$40 billion trusting In arma-
ments compared with less than
SIS billion to build and maintain
churches, hospitals, and other
helpful or charitable structures
and organizations.
