Ol'T IN THE OPEN
Washington, May 14. ? The
great game of politics, which Is
ulways going on behind the scenes
In Washington, 1b being played
more and more in the open now,
as the lines begin to form for the
(election battle of 1936. There is
a great deal more frankness on
the part* of the players, more
open admission that they are con
cerned with their own reelection
as much as they are with solving
the perplexing problems of the na
tion in the most effective way.
This is especially notable In the
Senate, one-third ot whose mem
bers come up for re-election nejtt
year, aud another third in 1D38.
It Is not yet so marked among
members of the House of Repre
sentatives, all of whose terms ex
pire next year; but In th^- lower
house, also, mai^y members who
have been counted as loyal sup
porters of the Administration are
beginning to echo the remark ot
one eminent Senator, who express
ed a growing feeling when he said:
"Koosevelt is going to need us
next year quite as much as we
need him. We don't have to cling
so tight to his coattails as in the
past."
Every Fellow for Mi in self
The reason tor this state of
affairs is that Senators and Re
presentatives are hearing from
back home, and the message they
get is that there is a growing cool
ness among the people toward
some of the New Deal measures.
How extensive and how serious
thiB is, none of them is quite sure.
There are a good many Congress
districts and several states in
which a switch of only a few
thousand votes from one side to
the other would make a decided
difference in the political com
plexion of the next Congress.
There Is not much doubt in
Washington, so far, that Presi
dent Koosevelt will be re-elected.
?11 the odds are in his favor. But
it would be entirely possible for
the President to be re-elected by
the power of the electoral voles
of the larger states, even though
he carried each of them by a nar
row margin, and still leave a.
large batch of Congressmen and
Senators of his. own party out on
a limb. <
That is what is worrying the
boys on Capitol Hill. They want
to save their own skins, and so
they are showing their independ
ence by balking at such parts of
the President's program as they
think might not set well with the
folks back home. It is not quite
fair to regard this as a cowardly
and selfish attitude. Some of them
have never relished taking orders
from the White House, having in
dependent ideas of their own and
feeling that it is their function,
rather than that of the Executive,
to draft and enact legislation.
They went along with the Presi-;
dent, not only for the sake of!
party harmony but because there
didn't seem to be any other way;
to get started toward the goal of
economic recovery. As long as
there was a practically unanimous,
sentiment throughout the nation,
that was the sound and politic
thing for them to do. Now, how
ever, they feel that public senti
ment is not so one-sided.
The Chamber's Objections
. . The attitude of some members
The attitude of some members
of the President's own party in
opposition to some parts of his,
program was strengthened by the
representations made by the de
legates to the annual convention
of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States.
This organization is composed
of practically all of the chambers
of commerce and boards of trade
in the United States. It is, there
fore. a representative cross-section
of the average business men of
the nation. Therefore, when its
convention adopted resolutions
asking for the postponement ot
the Social Security plan, the end
ing of NRA, opposing the Presi
dent's plan for regulation of pub
lic utilities and suppression of
holding companies, against the
plan for Federal control of bank
credit, the proposed strengthen
ing of AAA and the Wagner in
dustrial relations bill, the Cham
ber's utterances were taken seri
ously.
Administration supporters pub
licly tried to "laugh them off".
The President himself expressed
disbelief that business men gen
erally felt the way the conven
tion did; but there Is no denying
that this first Important organiz
ed expression of disagreement
with the New Deal has had a
serious effecj, although naturally
It does not represent unanimity
on the part of business Interests.
Another Meeting
Almost at the same time that
the Chamber of Commerce was
meeting, there was another meet
ing of even greater significance
being held In the White House.
This was between the President
and a group of Democratic Sena
tor*. who served notice on the
Executive that they would not go
along with him on all of the
legislation which he has earmark
ed as "must." Those who pro
fees to know what took place at
this meeting report that the At
titude ot these recalcitrant Sena

than erict poor familiesr from their
homes because they are behind in
their rents.
tors was very definite.
Therefor?, because of all that
has. Just been set down, what may
fairly be expected between now
and the adjournment of Congress
is a few compromise measures,
which will not suit anybody,
much, and the shelving of several
items which -tffle Administration
earnestly wants.
Congress is definitely much less
interested in social reforms than
fs the White ftouse. It is definitely
much more inflation-minded than
the President. Mr. Roosevelt is
bent upon checking the move
ment toward currency inflation,
but to avert it he will have torac
cept the verdict of Congress on
some of his reform plans.
It's anybody's guess, this week,
when Congress will adjourn.

LESSON I
V kvChtrlti E. Dunn
Baptism.
Lesson jot May 19th. Acts 8:26
39.
Golden Test: Matt. 28:19.
The first point to bear in mind
about baptism is that it is a sacra- j
ment, a word derived from the
Latin "sacramentum," meaning
oath. Baptism
is therefore an
oath or pledm of
allegiance. When
an adult 1| bap
tized he thereby
registers hi? per
sonal dedication
to Christ and the
Christian Church.
When an infant is
presented for bap
tism his parents
record this dedi
cation for him,
with the fall ex
pectation that the CWs. E. D?"
child himself will ratify it when he
reaches the age of discretion.
Secondly, Daptiam signifies en
trance into the Church. It is the rite
of initiation into the Beloved Com
munity. When an adult receives
baptism he at once, by this symbolic
act, enrolls himself a* a full mem
ber of the Christian Society. When
a little child ia christened through
the placing of water on its head, it
is immediately taken under the care
of the Church.
Now there are many who feel
that little ones should not be bap
tized, but only those old enough to
understand the meaning of the
sacrament The various Baptist
Churches hold this view.
There is something to be said for
this poeltion On tne other hand
It ia pUin that we do not act this
way whh respect to either the
family or the nation. We do not
wait until the child ia grown up be
fore acknowledging him as a full
member of the family. Nor do we
wait until manhood before he is
recognized as a citizen. Even
though the child is neither a bread
winner nor a voter, yet he is, b>
right of birth, a precious, integral
part of both the family and the
lation. ' ,
: Even so, every baby enjoys, as a
spiritual birthright, the privileges of
'nembershlp in God's family In
fant baptism is th? recognition that
?the child, aa well as the parent, is ,
neir to the* covenanted mercies of |
God disponed through Hia Church. ,
World's Champion Butter-Producing Cow
MINNEAPOLIS . . . Femco Johanna Bess Fayne (above), 9-year old
registered Holstein cow, owned by F. E, Murphy, Minneapolis publisher,
hits for the second time broken the world's record by producing 82,727.1
pounds of milk for 1,525.5 pounds of butter in 365 days. Only five cows in
the U. 8. have ever produced 1,500 pounds of butter in a year. Bess Fayne
ha* now twice passed that mark aud is proclaimed the highest record
holding cow alive.
4-H Accounting Champ.
OMAHA . . . Ogden Riddle, 20
(above), of Bartley, Neb., is the
national farm accounting champion
of 4-H Clubs. He kept a complete
year record of production costs, in
come, expenditures, inventory and
balance sheet of his father 's 365 acre
farm. He is an "Aggie" freshman.
The award was $835.
EVENING CLASS AT
KATESVILLE
Eighteen fanners of this com
munity attended 10 consecutive
meetings at the store of H. G.
Jones. These meetings were held
each Wednesday night and the
general subject of Farm planning
was discussed. Each of these far
mers will receive 100 lbs., of Nit
rate of Soda offered by the Com
pany. This class conducted by G. L.
Winchester teacher of Agriculture
at FranMinton won third in the
district for having the greatest
rrtrmber of farmers to attend the
meetings to discuss approved prac
tices in farming. The average at
tendance was- 24 at each meeting
and the largest number at any one
meeting was 31. This class en
tered into the discussion and it
became more of a round table dis
cussion of various current farm
problems.
Nothing else will pep up a room
quite as much as a vase filled
with a big bunch of gladiolas.

A CALF and A CROP
Have the Same Idea
^on the Food Question
? Why is a growing calf like a
growing crop?
Answer : Because the food re
quirements of each are so much
the same.
Scientists are making this
point clearer every day through
their research into the impor
tance of vitamins in animal diet
and the need of impurities in
the food of plants.
These vital impurities are
tne all -important
thing in fertilizing
today. They are the
rarer elements
boron, iodine, mag
nesium, potassium,
calcium, lithium,
itrontium and many others.
With them your crops prodocs
as Nature intended them to.
Chilean Natural Nitrate con
tains these rarer elements in
Nature's own balance and pro
portion. Chilean's quick-acting
nitrogen, plus its vital impuri
ties, make it the safe, cure fer
tilizer for your crops.
See your dealer for <-h;Wn
Natural Nitrate. Two kinds ?
Champion (granu
lated), Old Style
(crystals). They are
both genuine. Both
?re natural. And
both give your crops

Thoughtful parents, who have observed and
experienced the wisdom of thrift in recent
years, now realize that it is very important to
direct children's thoughts in constructive
channels. Most important of all is the apprecia-.
tion of the rewards of thrift. To teach the child
?|he value of material thrift, there is no better
method than establishing a saving account, for
him, his to direct, control and build.
