FREE SPEECH DOING
NICELY IN CAMPAIGN
Probably no presidential campaign
■will have exceeded the present one
in the sheer weight or printed ma-
terial, the sheer volume of verbiage
flung at the voters.
"Whatever else this comes to, it
means harvest-time to the people
who are engaged in producing it.
Consider the case of J. E. Rock-
well, who edits the Daily Independ-
ent of Murphysboro, 111., a town of
10,000 in the very center of a rich
farming and fruit-growing section
of that state.
Rockwell has never liked the New
Deal, and has said so in good
straight terms throughout the last
three years. His vehicle has been a
daily column In his paper, circula-
tion of 3500.
A while back, Rockwell got to
thinking about the New Deal and
his editorials about, and decided to
reprint, selected pieces in a little
pamphlet. Apparently copies got Into
the hands of the persons who coimt
at Republican headquarters. They
were pleased with “A Country Edi-
tor Views the New Deal,” and evi-
dently felt it represented the Repub-
lican point of view in a peculiarly
effective manner.
Result: an order to Editor Rock-
well from the Republican National
Committee for 1,000,000 copies of
his pamphlet. Though Editor Rock-
well has a modern plant for a town
of Murphyboro’s size, a million cop-
ies was something else again. He
had to turn the order over to a city
All Twins, All in One Family
These four sets of twins in one family stole the show at the fifth
annual convention of the National Twins’ Association in Ft. Wayne,
Ind., attended by a crowd of more than 1500. The six boys and
two girls shown here are the children of Mr. and Mrs. T. Clark
of Zanesville, Ind. Left to right are Robert and Ross, 14; Don and
Dale, 12; Joe and Jim, 10; and Mildred and Margaret, 6.

printing plant and be content with

Printers, publishers and broad-
casting stations are pretty secure
against depression until after Nov-
ember. There is scarcely a night
without one or more naitionally-
broadcast speeches on the air, and
the election still more than two
months away.
Even the streets aren’t safe, for
you never know when a sound truck
is going to pull up and start blast-
ing away at you.
Already there are four books on
Governor Landon, and New Deal
and antl-New Deal books come
tumbling from the presses just as
fast as the rollers will run.
No one is so inconspicious as not
to be on a mailing list for one or
more campaign propaganda sheets,
some verging closer and closer to
tb« scurrilous as the climax ap-
proaches. Temporary newspapers
spring up like mushrooms, and
Pennsylvania, for instance, has a
Democratic organ in “We, the Peo-
ple," with Republicans angle for la-
bor support with a “Labor World.”
Novelties like the “New Deal Ma-
zuma,” distributed at the G. O. P.
convention; rubber dollar bills, and
animated cartoons lambasting Mr.
RoosevelS, compete with pro-New
Deal pictures like “The Plow That
Broke the Plains.”
It goes right on down to low tide
in the scurrilous little sheets pass-
ed out on the street.
The campaign itself is going to be
the best possible evidence of good
old-fashioned American freedom of
speech and press is still doing nicely,
thank you.

INSURANCE PART
OF SOIL PROGRAM
PROVES OF VALUE
CASH INCOME IS ASSURED TO
PRODUCERS WHO MEET
REQUIREMENTS
COLLEGE STATION—“Insurance
features of the Agricultural Con-
servation program are proving of
value to farmers, in Texas because
of unusual weather conditions in
1936,” A. L. Smith, executive secre-
tary of the State Agricultural Con-
servation Committee, pointed out.
“Interest is being manifested in
these features by many farmers of
this region,” he added, “so the re-
cent statement of C. A. Cobb, di-
rector of the Southern Region of the
;AAA. is particularly appropriate at
this time.”
Cobb says, “each producer who
meets the requirements of the Ag-
j ricultural Conservation program is
sure of receiving some cash income
even though his crops may be des-
troyed by drouth or other causes,
i “No program can prevent suffer-
ing and hardship if a farmer’s labor
and cash investments in crops are
completely lost because of unfavor-
! able weather conditions. The pres-
ent program will partly relieve the
| distress of co-operating producers by
making a cash payment to those
who have used approved farming
j practices on their land.
I "‘The soil-conserving crops, grown
on land that would otherwise be
j planted to soil-depleting crops, pro-
I tect the co-operating producer
| against losses of plant food and soil
I caused by leaching and erosion.
| “Improved soils mean better
I stands, fewer crop failures, lower
j production cost to producers, and
j over a long period a more stable and
less expensive supply of foods, feeds,
; and fibers for consumers than would
be available if soils should continue
to be wasted at the present rate.”

STRICT GLEANING IS URGED
ON DROUTH PARCHED FARMS
BROOKINGS, S. D. — Asserting
every South Dakota farmer should
conduct a rigid feed conservation
program on his own land this year,
Director A. M. Eberle of the State
college agricultural extension service
outlines steps to make such a plan
effective.
His recommendations included:
Cut all available roughage in fields;
cut rough feed along the highways;
conserve everf acre of drouth-burn-
ed corn; and conserve straw piles.

of hydrophobia but It is not known
definitely, however. If he didn’t,
then his death was caused by some
disease of which we know nothing.
First doubts that Robertson died
of hydrophobia were raised when it
was learned he had been bitten or
scratched by a dog. Last March he
had dug up a den of civet cats and
his family supposed he had con-
tracted the disease at that time.
Twenty-seven persons are taking
the Pasteur treatment after com-
ing in contact with Robertson.

states in manufacturing.

EL PASO, Sept. 3 — Physicians
here were puzzled over the death
of John Robertson, 41-year-old far-

phobia, but whose brain did not dis-
close Jhe ordinary • and expected
germs of the dread disease.
Dr. W. Waite, who performed the
autopsy, said the germs found in
in Robertson’s brain were “Negri
Bodies,” cause of hydrophobia in
animals, but not the same as those
causing it in humans.
Waite said that doctors are “rea-
sonably sure that Robertson died
