Your wife will soon care less for heir Abroad at Home The potential traveler, nowadays, is looking toward points nearer ! home Gyrations in foreign exchange, most of which are unfavorable to the purchasing power of our currency, and the generally disturbed state of lands across the water, have sub | stantially lessened the appeal of European travel. As a result we are making interesting geographical dis coveries in our own back yard Beaten trails to always fascinating Florida, California and the National Parks are giving way to explorations of he raw Pacific Northwest, old New England, the Carolinas. and the lesser known mountains, forests and lakes Then, over the border to the south, the tourist who thought of Mexico purely in terms of Tiajuana, Mexicali and the other whoop-it-up border towns, is finding that there is an other Mexico—real Mexico- This is the Mexico of majestic mountains, fertile lands, great cities and unpro nounceable towns that provides pic turesque, bizarre and colorful sights, same of them as old as Egypt yet the tourist finds services, such as travel by motor car, airplane or rail way, that are as modem as tomorrow Mexico is building great highway systems to connect with those of the United States- It is seeking to attract the American tourist — and not the least of its advantages in this is the rate of exchange- Your American dol lar does dose to four times as much when translated into Mexican «ur fervey, as it does at home- Hotels, restaurants, and entertainment com Raising thG Family- Yes maybetbeKldwtHtxTPreswtf.ru some day mavbet ffShfSp ^ « f NEP-(Mur > _-J K\OS V PS k\0 **^TUe /\*J6'-U .NqOVc^ ^ H&16WBOBWOOO ft- f 6CT- TO **«»r \»mpsrt <ss-^Aftr Bo> rL J;.,.

Mr. Spurr brings out the interesting fact that attacks on utility rate structures art . more than ordinarily prevelant in states where the commissions have been most vigilant in obtaining rate reductions. In California, for x ample, it was claimed that utility rates during depression were the samj as at the peak of prosperity— whereas the truth is that rate re ductions made since the fiscal year 1928-29 up until l -arly last year came to the sizeable sum of $19,000,099 New York is another state where the utilitirs and the regulating commis sion have been extensively criticized —yet eVctric rate reductions made in 1931. 1932 and 1933 are saving power users $15,000,000 a year- Similar ex perience can be produced for a score of other states The upshot of all this is that the utilities have simply be*h tnade a political issue—irrespective of the merits or ttya demerits of the case They are big- Their operations are of necessity complicated and difficult to undatrstand- The business is highly technical throughout- And they are an excellent target for the politically ambitious The encouraging factor is tnat tne general public—which has shown its attitude in many recent elections when proposed bond issues for muni cipal electric plants were rejected— has refused to be taken in, and thor oughly realizes that when it spends a dollar for electricity it is getting its money’s worth, and then some AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION PREPARE JIM CROW DIRECTORY M.w York City—According to in formation received at the offices of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People from a reputable Negro physician, the Am erican Medical Association is prepar ing to issus directory of American physicians in which the word “Colored’ ip to appear after the names of all Negro physcians listed In a letter to the directory depart ment of the A- M- A- inChicago, the N- A- A- C- P- ha3 demanded the in stant removal of this unnecessary racial designation- No such designa appears after the names of members of other racial groups- TWs Assacia tion is urging Negro physicians throughout the country to promptly protest against his discrimination N.

By R. A. Adahvs (For The Literary Service Bureau) A young woman was heard to re mark: “Fathers don’t amount to much.” These are the sentiments of many, many thousands- True, there are many unwortftvy ones- Some fathers have committed every sin a gainst their own from inexcusable neglect to seduction and incest- It is true often fathers have abandon ed their families- But these are ex ceptions and not the rule For every one. negligent, derelict father there are many who have been and are loyol- These fathers have toiled, suffered, sacrificed themselves for thci good of their children- Thou sands of such fathers have worked and sweated and then carried their wages home for the support of their families The progress of the race and of the nation would have been j impoeible without this loyalty- Tes. fathers count—count much—even if they are traduced; and Iaughad to : scorn And they are entitled to honor, j along with mothers- Let it be remam- j bered that: , “Fathers who sacrifices make !

POLITICAL POT The Ninth District Republican Leg islative race takes on a definite as pect as Attorney John Adams, Junior files. At present, M'-. John Benjam in Horton and Attorney Adams will f’ffht it out alone for nomination on the republican ticket, on a basis of ■winner take all. Mr- Johnny Owens, representative to the legislature from the ninth dis trict, interviewed by a Guide repre sentative concerning rumors that he will not file, stated, “I am definitely in the race and shall run for nomina te n and reelection. Mr- O’Brien, re » sttr of De<ds of Douglas County, has been visited by a number- of dele gations of prominent citizens of my district, among whom were ministers from our various churches, and some of our professional men, expressing a desn’e that I become a candidate for re-electon- Mr- O’Brien has put at my disposal his full cooperation and support” Admirable unity of purpose is manifest amongst race Democrats of the Ninth District. E^^y filing by one white candidate for nomination on the Democratic ticket apparently has caused other democratic race as pirants for the office to solidify and leave open running to Johnnie Owens, incumbent. Such manifestation of unity and organization is to be com mended. The voters salutes the race democrats of this district “THE PRICE OF LOVE”' MILDRED J. BRONSON The Word “Love” has never been explained* Out of millions that have tried not two have been the same*” Now Friends, you will have to go along with me and bring along your excess patience- As I a^n going to talk this topic over with you in a very plain and sensible way- Read my in troduction over again- You can s. e right, away that I am up against a very tough one this time- Millions have tried. Not two have been the same- I am attempting to do what millions have failed to agree upon To really know the price of any thing. you should know what it is and the quality of the product- So I must first try to explain to you what love is- Here is the simplest defini tion I can think of- As Christ said. “Be Y# Equally Matched ” I take it for granted that in this world there is a person for every person and when they meet, which I am sure is the law of nature that they will, the faith and confidence grows so strong within them that this word love deve lopes and unites the two together. The branches of this unit grows through the offsprings of the child ren, because I am sure, if they are equally matched, the children will come up and that Father and Moth er’s Love will continue on through the ages If this is true, than the price of love is indeed a very high and always a standard price. So much so that it sometimes is paid for with death. Love at first sight runs in my mind, as if it is a bargain price- Sometimes these affairs tutrm out to be the real love, and maybe as I said, the one that nature held in store for you This would be a very small price at LOST 57 POUNDS OF FAT—DIDN'T CUT DOWN ON FOOD •T lost 57 lbs. by taking Kruschen Salts and it had no ill effect on me. I didn’t cut down on a single food—I recommend u to any one who is over weight” Mrs. A. Ropiak, So. Milwau kee, Wis. To win a slender, youthful figure take a half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water first t h i ng every morning. While fat is leaving you gain In strength, health and physical charm—look younger. Many physicians prescribe it and thousands of fat folks an over the world have achieved slenderness. A tar lasts 4 weeks and costs but a trifle at any drugstore. But protect your health—make sure you get Kruschen —It's the SAFE way to reduce and money back if not satisfied. first, but it maybe at the top market in a short while In cases where the Mother or Fath a • walk off and leave home and child-\ ren to guide *h ir way through this trying world without the guiding hand of them was not equally match ed and the price of love considered very small to them Then there is a chance for a person to make the mistake of giving just a simple sweetheart affair as a case of lovr. This has happened and has gone as far as marriage- After a short while he or she begans to realize the mistake Here is wh.re the law steps in and the narti'-s involv'd consider the price of love very small inde d. In these cases it is just a misunder stand’ng or too young to realize the vast difference b tween love and like. We are supposed to like everybody, but to love means that sclm: where a pal or mate waits for you and when they meet a real fcme love is formed, and the nrice is to dear sometimes until death. Friends, do you think that a man or woman that has united themselves with the marriage vow, walk off and leave everything, sometimes homes, children and anythink that may hap pen to be theirs was equally matched and was meant for each oth r? I do not. Because therte is always a way to adjust things and if for nothing else, bi|t the children's sake, you would agree to continue on, God did not intend for you two to go through ife together- The price of this kind of love is very small Then the price of love is just the same as goods on the 'market, cheap, medium, high and standard prices. Somegoods have a price and when you see the brand you can almost tell 'the clerk the price- While over on the bargain counter, the clerk has to look at the tag to tell you the price So with love- There are men and women that delight In making love to everyone they meet Then brag about their* ability to win the confidence of others. Here the price of love is considered very cheap, and has caus ed many heart to ache for young and foolish persons. When to live together of 20 or 30 years and on, happy and contented with each ether, looking down upon their children and grandchildren, while they celebrate those silver and goden anniversaries, the price of love is always standard, and death is usually the pay master Remember my friends, that it always pays to be careful when you are shopping in a love shop- Don’t be sold on some bad goods, or have the prices put up on you, because they see you are coming and cause you to carry a burden upon your shoulder for the rest of your life- It cost such a small sufn to get into, but so much to get out- Remember, it's better to be slow, than to be sorry. Take God’s word for it- “Be ye equally matched.” Race Man Makes Good in Iowa Town Dr- L- B- Ferguson of Waterloo, Iowa is one of the outstanding physi cians of our race.
