"MORE ABUNDANT LIFE” “Under massive, gilded chande liers in the paneled ballroom of the former Edward B. McLean home a staff of news writers now on the employment rolls of the Works Progress administration is completing a 250,000-word guide to the city of Washington," says a United Press dispatch from Washington. “Officials of the project, known as the writers’ project, said the guide would be in final form within a month. But exactly what use would be made of it NO ONE connected with the project could say. No provision has been made to publish it and no funds are available for that purpose.” Farmers Can’t Get Help; WPA Jobs Lure Hands Springfield, III.—From all over Illinois directors of the Illinois Ag ricultural association are receiving complaints that farmers cannot ob tain sufficient help this spring be cause the men they customarily hire now work for the WPA and prefer the easy work and good pay to the more rigorous tasks of fann ing. Farmers in past years have been able to get skilled help for $23 or $30 a month and keep, according to the association. "This year farm hands in many cases refuse to take Jobs on the farm and frankly say that they would rather work for the WPA three or four days a week," says an IAA statement. “They say that while the farm wages with board give them more money than the $54 a month WPA wage, they prefer to work less and take less puy." A survey by a Rockford newspa per sliowed a need for 1,000 farm hands in Winnebago, Boone and Ogle counties. L. IV. Braham, Will county farm adviser, reported many appeals from farmers for help. “The farmers resent the Idea that they are unuble to get help when there are so many men on relief,” said Braham. “These farmers say the relief situation has reached the point where they must compete with the federal government.” Similar complaints were heard In Kankakee, Cook, De Kalb, Du Page, La Salle, Vermillion, Champaign, Edgar and Douglas counties. Of recent weeks shortage of help has lieen reported In Minnesota, Wiscon sin, Michigan, Kansas and other states, because hands preferred to work for the federal government and let the taxpayer foot the bills. Prairie States Boil Over Farley’s Slur Washington.—Rumblings of indig nation against Postmaster-General James A. Farley’s slur against the prairie states in a speech made at Grand Rapids, Mich., came to a head in an outburst on the floor of the house of representatives by Dewey Short of Missouri. Farley had predicted that the Republican nominee In the coming election would be the governor of “a typical prairie state” whose experience as such scarcely fitted him for the White House. “1 was amazed to read that state ment," declared Short. "It is ab solutely inexcusable in any member of the cabinet and chairman of his party. I want It understood that I ain not advocating the candidacy of any person. There are many fit candidates in the Republican party. But I resent the slur and slander by the postmaster general passed not only upon the citizens of Kan sas, but upon the citizens of Mis. souri, Illinois, Indiana and nil the other great prairie stntes.” National Debt Skyrocket* Washington.—The United States national debt, It Is estimated, will be more than 34*4 billions by June 20.

The cracked and broken glass fronts have been replaced with whole blocks of glass at the Gamble and Reardon stores. Workmen find it something of a trick to place these large panes of glass without a break. Managers of fairs and rodeos have the courage to proceed in the teeth of famine. Agents have ' posted the town for these annual affairs at places far and near. O’Neill is out of the fair business this year. The county assessors' office has | not heard yet from the State House i on Holt county valuations but As | sossor Sullivan says he has word | the state levy .will be lowered from I last years' levy which was a fract ion over two mills. The supreme court has held against the law per mitting the payment of delinquent taxes by installment without the interest. Since this ruling the at torney general’s office is said to hold that those who availed them selves of the payment plan will have to pay the interest. How it is to be collected and whether such a claim would constitute a cloud on the title to property might become a question of some interest. Open Gates to For eign Products. By Representative Allen T Tread way, of Massachusetts. It is clear that instead of pro tecting the home market the New Deal has invited further compe tition from abroad. Such was its declared purpose when the legis lation authorizing the trade treaty program was passed. It was argued that the only way we could regain our foreign trade was by allowing foreign countries to sell us more of their products. In spite of the fact that two thirds of our imports, on a value basis, were already free of duty, the New Deal insisted that the gates should be opened wider to foreign goods. The fallacy of the administration’s program has al ready been demonstrated. These trade treaties do not bind foreign countries to purchase any goods in our markets. What is happening is that they are taking advantage of the opportunity which the New ‘Deal afforded them to sell in the United States, but they are spending their money elsewhere. There is nothing to indicate that a continuation of the New Deal’s “good neighbor policy’’ will have any different result. American producers are being sold out and we are receiving no compensating benefits from foreign countries. Our farmers were promised an outlet for their surplus commodit ies as soon as the trade treaty pro gram got under way. Instead, they have seen their foreign markets shrink still fur ther. For example, our exports of wheat and wheat flour declined from 36 million bushels in 1934 to 16 million bushels in 1935. In the same period, exports of tobacco de clined from 419 million pounds to FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, JULY 31 AND AUG. 1 Apple Pie' For as nice a pie as you ever tasted you line the tin with crust and add the contents of a No. 2 can of “Reddi-Maid” Apples which are perfectly sweetened and spiced.
