Phone 2 O’Neill, Nebraska Views of Congress... By Dr. A. L. Miller, M. C. ^ Members of Congress who are trying to help the farmer get a fair break with these government agencies set up to i control everything are getting a little tired of hearing inflation blamed on the farmers. Commit tees in each House are about to throw some light on pri ces the producer gets in contrast to what foods are selling for on the city markets. For sake of com parison here are some of the pri ces Washington housewives are paying for fresh vegetables: To matoes, cucumbers and string beans, 35 cents per pound; sweet potatoes, 10 cents; asparagus, 39 cents, and green belt peppers, 45 cents. Four little red beets cost 17 cents, and four onions about the size of your thumb, 25 cents. Cabbage is 15 cents per pound. Eggs are 58 cents a dozen. The two-man Japanese submar ine captured during the sneak at tack on Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, was displayed on the Cap itol plaza Saturday, April 3. In spite of a raw windy day—windy days are raw in Washington—a large crowd gathered to see it. It is 80 feet long, armed with tor pedoes. Naval men do not think it practical. The Honorable Karf Stefan, Third Nebraska District, made some very timely remarks in the House on April 5. In an able ad dress he said in part: “I greatly fear that future events will bring a bitter disap pointment to the American farm ers who in past years have been encouraged to believe the protec tive tariff has given them real protection, and who believed the American agricultural market be longs first to them. I fear the blow which shattered this hope of American farmers in protec tion of their home market came in a statement of the Vice Pres ident of the United States, Henry A. Wallace. In that statement he indicated that a program of new uses for American farm products was not the policy of the Ameri can government. Mr. Wallace in dicated that the substitute and synthetic materials program we are now undertaking would be eliminated at the end of the war, and the American market for those synthetic or substitute ma terials would be turned over to those countries where the natural materials are produced.” In another place, referring to a bill making appropriations for the State, Justice and Commerce de Dartments, he said: “In this bill Is included a cultural relations program (for South America) the like of which has never been imagined by American taxpay _ __ »* ers. Mr. Stefan further pointed out that foreign cartels already or ganized, unless broken up, would take over the two billions of American money now invested in South America nad place it with a few prvate groups, probably REFEREE’S SALE Tuesday, April 27th, 1943 At 10:00 O’clock A.

Ross Amspoker, Referee SPRINGVIEW, NEBRASKA Arthur A. Weber, Attorney, Bassett, Nebraska European, because American com ganies have agreed to get out of outh America after the war. Un less we have some experienced men, with an eye single to the in terest of our own country, look ing after these things we stand to lose everything. From statements made by the President and echoed by the news and radio commentators one would think that the passage of the Bankhead bill would bring an immediate jump in the cost of living, when as a matter fact the bill affects only wheat and corn and would amount in an in crease of only 190 million dollars if the whole crop were sold on the market. The President just signed an act granting an in crease in wages to one group of federal workers, which means an increase in cost to the taxpayers of 600 million dollars and that is just a beginning. It does not take into account the many increases in wages granted to industrial workers which go directly into increased costs. Increased buying power tends directly to inflation. As the presidents of the four lead ing farm organizations said in their letter to Senator Bankhead urging the Senate to override the President's veto: “It is most unfortunate that again and again the American farmer has been attacked and ac cused of responsibility for infla tion. It is apparent that once more agriculture is to be used as the whipping-boy to further ap pease the wage demands of or-, ganized labor and to divert at tention from the real source of inflation.” _ Pioneer Couple Celebrates Their Golden Wedding Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Fullerton celebrated their golden wedding anniversary Sunday, April 4, at their farm home about 7 miles northeast of Atkinson. Present at the anniversary dinner in honor of the occasion were Mrs. Fuller ton’s sister, Mrs. Otto Pfeiffer of Gordon; Mrs. Raymond Robey of Gordon; Paul Fillmore and fam ily of Mitchell, S. D.; Stanley Ful lerton and Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Skrdla of Atkinson. Bertha Gates and James B. Ful lerton were married at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gates, north of At kinson, on April 4, 1893. The Rev. O. T. Moore, Methodist minister,! performed the ceremotiy. Mrs. Fullerton’s parents owned and built a home on what is now the V. C. Wilbern ranch, known then as the Kane place. For two and a half years after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Ful lerton lived on the farm now owned by Mrs. Chas. Shane. They then purchased the place on which they now live, and have resided there for the past forty seven and a half years. They are the parents of five children, three of whom are living. They are: Stanley, World War I veteran, at home; James, of Gordon; Mrs. Raymond Robey, the former Miss Olive Fullerton, of Gordon. Two daughters, Mrs. Robt. Wilson and Mrs. Paul Fillmore, died several years ago.—Atkinson Graphic. JUST 90 YEARS AGO Just ninety years ago Commo dore Perry, on behalf of our gov ernment, welcomes Japan into the society of nations. America thus struck the bonds of feudal-1 ism from a nation which has re paid that act of decency with ruthless hatred; which through the following nine decades has single-mindedly plotted the de struction of its benefactors; and which, on “a day that will live in infamy,” committed its ulti mate act of supreme treachery. Now let’s go back to Japan— with the only kind of message these “people” understand. Let’s go back with our warships—yes planes and bombs as well—to im print a lesson on the Japanese mind, and on that of the other Axis would-be conquerors of free men, that they will not forget in the lifetimes of their great grand children—and ours.
