I ' —---?— Thousands Expected To Attend Dedication Of Americas’ Tallest Tower, Yankton, Saturday Rudolph Kreifels of York has been chosen as the typical Ne braska farmer. He will compete for the Typical Midwest Farmer crown which will be awarded on Saturday, September 4, at Yank ton, S.

Between 25 and 30 thousand people are expected to pay tribute to the farmers of the midwest for their role in their production assignment. Kreifels started farming in York county in . 1928. He had eight successive bad crop years, adapted farming to the condi tions, raised alfalfa seed one year, applied methods suggested by the agricultural college and diversi fied his crops. He feeds 100 cattle, milks six cows, keeps a large flock of poultry. He cleared bind weed on his farm by summer fal low and rotation.

Other candidates who will com pete with Mr. Kreifels are Brady Riddle of Ute, Iowa; Otto Baum hoefner of Welcome, Minn.; Aaron Burge of Red Heights, S. D., and William Vogel of Pettibone, N. D.

Picnic facilities have been arranged for between twenty-five and thirty thousand expected guests. DO THEY REALLY? "Mercy Killers" Have you ever wrung the neck of one of your neighbor’s roost eds? If you have, you probably had a grand argument on your hands, and when you cooled off you must have concluded that you had no right to kill him. He did not belong to you and hence you had no power over him. Every American admits that he has no control over what does not belong to him, and he will quick ly seek satisfaction when his own right of ownership is violated. In spite of this there are men who would violate God’s right of own ership in the name of humanitar ianism. Those men are the “mercy killers.” They would put to death, in some painless way, all those who are suffering from incurable diseases or who are aged or help less. Their motive, they say, is to end the sufferings of such unfor tunates, and remove the burden of their support from the should ers of some individual or the es tate. But the end they have in view cannot justify their action, be cause they are violating man’s right to live and God’s right of ownership over man’s life. For who gives man his life? God alone, the author of life, can give life. Since He has given it, He has ownership over it. As Cicero, a pagan, has put it: “God, our Master, forbids us to go hence without His command.” Once God has given life, man possesses the right and duty to live. For in stance, if I lend you my car, I retain ownership but you receive the right to use it, so that anyone that prevents you would be vio lating your right. What happens when the doctor injects a deadly drug into a man suffering from an incurable can cer? He deprives him of life and injures God’s right to ownership. Suppose the patient himself ask ed the doctor to inject the drug? His action would be a violation of God’s right and a shirking of his duty to live. Consider that car of mine you have borrowed —you have the fight to use it, but you have no right to destroy or sell it. The patient is in the same position—he has the right to life, but since God owns it he cannot destroy it. Because of the unjust violation of God’s right and of man’s right, the Catholic Church is opposed to “mercy” killing. She is the advo cate of God’s rights as well as man’s rights; therefore, she op poses every move to make such a practice legal. She knows that such an infringement of man|s rights is a step in the wrong di rection. The Catholic Church wants to improve man’s social condition, but she will not favor any means that robs him of his rights or prevents him from ful filling his duties. Without full possession of all his rights and the completion of his duties man cannot be happy, nor can he bet ter his social condition without them. We will gladly answer any question on any Catholic subject. Address: Catholic Information So ciety, 7800 Kenrick Road, Saint Louis, Missouri. Ask The Farmer One railroad official has de scribed the earnings position of the railroads today as akin to an overworked farm. A lot of money is coming in but the plant is wearing out faster than the re placement rate. Any farmer knows what would happen to his farm if every acre was intensive ly cultivated for several years with no crop rotation or rebuild ing of the land. During the period the farm was so used, it would be drained of the fertility of the soil to the greatest extent. If, in addition to exhaustive planting, no money was taken from the income to provide fertilizer and needed equipment, the time wiuld come when the farm could no longer produce. The railroads today are work ing every mile of rail and every ★ ★ VJliaty<M Buy With WAR BONDS Wagsl No quadruped of the K9 contin gent used by the Marines, the Army or the Coast Guard is purchased.

Through no fault of their own, they have been forced into the position of having to pro duce transportation for the nation far beyond their normal capacity. Due to government restrictions on new equipment, they have been unable to ease the load. They have repeatedly warned that a day of exhaustion is approaching, unless they are permitted to take necessary maintenance measures. In the meantime, it is utter folly to look upon the money the railroads are receiving as true profit. That money will event ually have to be spent to restore the fertility and productive capa city of the rail transportation industry.

Ceiling Price On Onions Growers of onions were today advised of prevailing ceiling pri ces for dry onions by R. E. Arm bruster, chairman, Holt County War and Price Rationing Board, No. 6536, O’Neill, Nebr. “Primarily due to lack of knowl edge of the regulations, some growers are charging more than the permitted ceiling price for dry onions,” Mr. Armbruster said. “Maximum base prices at the shipper’s level for each month are established by zones in which the onions are grown. For the month of September the estab lished maximum price for dry on ions, sacked, graded and produced in Iowa, Nebraska and South Da kota is $1.50 for 50 pounds when sold to wholesalers. For sales of less than carlots or trucklots de livered to a retail store, the maxi mum price is $1.90 for a 50-pound bag.” Mr. Armbruster further in dicated that for sales in October these base prices are reduced 5 cents for 50 pounds. Th# maximum price for un graded onions is 15 cents less per 50-pound sack and for onions not sacked, regulations require an ad ditional deduction of 15 cents from the base price. White onions may be sold at a premium of 30 cents per 50-pound bag above the stated base price. When a grower sells directly to h consumer, he may add $1.00 to the maximum price for sales to wholesalers as previously pro vided. Sellers of dry onions, who de sire information concerning this regulation, are ugred to contact either the Price Panel of their War Price and Rationing Board or the district office of the OP A in Sioux City for complete infor mation relative to this regulation. Mrs. Helen Sirek went to Sioux City on business last Sunday. She returned home Monday. PUBLIC SALE!
