CORN HUSKING CONTESTS
Those who live outside of the corn
belt of the American middle West
may have read with some surprise
that 50,000 people attended the re
cent National Corn Husking Contest
at Grundy Center, Iowa. Perhaps
none were more surprised than those
whose boyhood was spent in the corn
belt and whose memories of corn
husking center around some of its
tess engaging features.
The development of corn husking
into a national sport that rivals ma
jor football games in color and pull
ing power is an interesting story,
In 1924 Mr. Henry Wallace, Iowa
farm paper editor and son of a for
mer Secretary of Agriculture, con
ceived the idea of making a sport of
corn husking. Mr. Wallace called
attention to sports as a great safety
valve of the American people. "Why
should we not develop a strictly rural
sport, and so dignify and enliven the
tasks of the farm?" he asked.
Corn husking contests became
popular at once. The growing in
terest reached a high joint in this
year s national contest. More than
10,000 automobiles were counted In
the parking fields, while airplanes
and news reel "talkies" gave an up
to-date atmosphere to one of the old
est of corn belt tasks. The contest
anfs were the winners from eight
state contests, which had eliminated
all but the best of the champions in
more than 300 county contests.
It takes a high degree of skill and
endurance to win a corn husking
contest. To pick and husk more than
thirty-two bushels of corn from
standing stalks in eighty minutes, as
Orville Welch did to win the national
contest this year, is no mean feat of
skill and endurance. That means
picking and removing the husks from
at least forty ears a minute for the
eighty minutes of the contest.
Corn husking contests have de
servedly come to be the great middle
western farm sport. To hold a sue
cessful contest requires the co-oper
ation of everyone in the rural com
munity. Each husker must have a
wagon and driver. A judge accom
panies each wagon, two gleaners to
pick up the corn the husker misses
he is penalized for this and from
one to three officials to keep the en
thusiastic crowd from interfering
with the husker. Then there are of
ficials to look after the parking.
weighing and computing. All told.
from 150 to 300 people take part in
staging a corn husking contest.
Usually business men from near-by
towns join with farmers in man
aging tbe trial.
A community that stages a success
ful corn husking contest thereafter
feels itself ready for anything. The
pride of achievement leaves upon it
a mark that is not soon erased. Corn
husking contests are an important
contribution to the rural life of Am
erica.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTUAS
The pleasing custom of using liv
ing, outdoor trees as Christmas trees
is becoming more and more popular
every year. We hope to see some
trees in our town this Christmas de
corated with colored lights connect
ed to the house circuit, so that every
body can share in the jubilation of
the Christmas season.
Nobody knows, so far as we can
find out, where the idea of a decor
ative tree as a symbol of Christmas
originated. But like many another
ancient custom, the source of which
is lost in the dim past, it is a beauti
ful and time-honored custom which
arouses sentimental reflections and
happy memories in the mind of ev
eryone, no matter how old, in whose
youthful life the Christmas tree
formed the center of tbe family gath
ering on Christmas Day.
But the feast of Christmas and the
Christmas tree imply very much more
than merely pleasant recollections.
There is no race or religious creed
which does not believe, in some form
or other, in a divine promise of a
better world. Science may never be
able to prove the existence of Ood;
but the faith of the truly religions
is not a matter of proof. No one
can live very long in this world
without discovering that the forces
which make it, from generation to
generation, a better world to live in,
and which are steadily making hu
man beings more kindly and toler
ant toward each other, are not the
forces which come from within the
human soul and that spirit of toler
ance, of kindliness, of "peace on
earth, goo dwill to men" is, to all
Christians, a spirit flowing directly
from the Heavenly throne. And what
we celebrate at Christmas is the
manifestation of that spirit on earth.

SHOOTING ISNT SAVING
It was back in the days of sleigh
bells and lap robes. "Son," said the
farmer to his boy, "we've got to make
this robe last another year. Prices
of buffalo skins are getting all out
of reason. Seems uncalled for, too.
Plenty of buffalo left out on the
plains."
But Father was wrong. Almost
overnight the buffalo had vanished.
It had vanished because of guns. The
passenger pigeon followed. The fur
seal likewise fell prey to guns until
it so nearly disappeared that only
radical measures have effected a par
tial restoration.
Now, game preservation bodies all
over the United States are hopefully
declaring that a like fate shall not
befall the many remaining species of
wild fowl and game animals. Yet,
with few exceptions, these advocates
of continued sports afield are either
willfully or thoughtlessly overlook
ing the most obvious reason for the
decrease of game guns. It seems
curious that hunters should aim in
pretty much every direction but the
logical one while searching for prac
tical measures to save The game, but
the reason for their confusion is not
deeply hidden.
Some 7,000,000 sportsmen are re
ported to have entered the lists
against America's remaining game
this year. Each is estimated to have
spent on the average more than $40
on his outfit and hunting expenses.
Manufacturers of such equipment
are drawing something like 9307,-
000,000 annually out of the hunting
field. Both hunters and equipment
makers are organized to shoot, not
to preserve. Prom their point of
view, restrictions on gunning savor
of oppression.
Yet, because of the gun, buffalo
robes are a moth-eaten rarity today.
and most "sealskin" comes from
muskrats. It would seem reasonable,
therefore, to paraphrase an old adage
and call to the attention of such
sportsmen the fact that they cannot
have their game and shoot it too
Recognizing this, defenders of game
and of more temperate sport are now
subscribing to lower bag limits,
shorter open seasons, a great nation
al and state system of inviolate canc
tuarles, long closed seasons on van
ishing species, a total prohibition of
baiting" game to kill it and the
use of live decoy birds.
The roar of 7,000,000 guns is loud
Perhaps it will be' even loud enough
to awake many of the gunners to the
folly. of wasteful shooting.

A NATIONAL STOCK TRADING
Self-examination, which is so
much in evidence nowadays in Am
erican life, is no new experience.
There was a time when American
audiences seemed to like nothing bet
ter than to hear Iheir own idlosyn
crasies pointed out to them by dis
tinguished foreign lecturers and pub
Heists. It became' a form of enter
tainment, like reading detective
stories. Then came the debunking
stage, when writers turned into
molders of clay feet for national
heroes. Again the aim was enter
tainment, rather than truth.
The new self-examination Is a
much more searching experience. It
is the gift of a cessation from the
excesses of a boom period in which it
got crowded out of the day's work.
Living then was too much concern
ed with financial evaluation. Ser
vice? The word found a place in tbe
codes of ethics of business and pro
fessional organizations, but in prac
tice it sometimes meant self-service,
with the sole purpose of material en
richment. The magazines are now exploring
other values which have nothing to
do with the Golden Calf. Selfishness
and greed stand exposed in news
papers which formerly hailed fresh
heights in the quest toward material
rewards. Editors must be responding
to the tastes of their readers in fur
nishing this pabulum. Publishers
who have their ears to the ground.
as well as the magazine editors, re
port the same inquiry, their readers
demanding serious works for study in
place of detective lction.
Already the leaven is at work In
civic life through the various inves
tigations into blossism and the grow
ing revolt against gangsterism. It
is re-examining the bases of the eco
nomic order. Hitherto the great Am
erican contribution to western civil
ization has been rated as mass pro
duction. ' Production to what end?
There was too little thought of that
of the economic circle of which
production is merely the first seg
ment. Mr. Gerard Swope's plan is
only one result of the new business
excogitation which is at last taking
into account the whole economic pro
cess. So we see the United States look
ing at the national sign, "Stop!
Look! Listen!" Let us hope that It
will find a new perspective along
which to set its social course.
'WHAT THREATS?'
Senator Moses has not distinguish
ed himself as a man of diplomacy.
Indeed, he sometimes has seemed to
lack the rudiments of diplomacy. But
now that there are rumors of repris
als for some of his impulsive utter
ances, he is evincing a restrain that
in a statesman of his characteristics
is almost heroic. When he is remind
ed of threats by the insurgents in
answer to alleged threats by him, he
innocently asks, "What threats?" A
cat after a canary dinner could not
be less self-conscious' than the sen
ator seemed when he asked this ques
tion. His mild wonderment is enough'
to make one ask whether the senator
may not, after all. be a much mis
represented person. Maybe he did
not call a certain class of western
statesmen sons of the wild jackass.
Maybe he never has heard that these
statesmen may oppose his re-election
as president pro tern of the senate.
If not, then of course he could not
have threatened to deprive the west
ern members of committee chair
manships. So everything is lovely
if the western senators will only see
it that way.

POLITICS IS NOT FOR CHURCH
It would be a good thing for the
country if more clergymen would
take the stand Rev. Joseph A. Vance
J took wben he told his audience at
the First Presbyterian church that
it is not the duty of the church to
mix in poliics, but to build up char
acter. That is what the church is for
if it has any mission at all.
Dr. Vance says that "when a
church gets more concerned over
lobbying with state legislatures, city
councils and even the United States
congress" than it does with character
building, "we have a nation that is
woefully lacking in that type of citi
zenship which respects law and gives
moral solidity to the nation." The
experiences of the United States in
the last fifteen years and its present
condition of ethical decline back up
the doctor's statement conclusively.
