DICTATOR ONCE DEPENDENT
ON CHARITY
YOU may not agree with the prin
ciples advanced by Adolf Hitler,
or you may be an enthusiastic ad
mirer of his. In either case you
will be interested in looking at the
man and his life to see what les
son we may learn. Perhaps the
greatest inspiration to be drawn
from the German dictator's life is
a word of encouragement for those
whose early lives may seem fail
ures.
Adolf Hitler was born on the Ba
varian frontier of Germany in 1889,
the son of a customs official who
had political ambitions for him. The
boy developed a desire to be an
artist. His father opposed him, so
Adolf refused to study in school.
He was the despair of his father
and mother. When he was eight
een, he went to Vienna and applied
for admission to the Academy ol
Art. His art was too poor to qualify
and they directed him to the archi
tectural school, but his loafing in
early grades made it impossible for
him to pass entrance requirements
there. At nineteen, his mother died,
and as his father had died five years
before, he was left alone.
For three years he slept in a
cheap, men's hotel in Vienna, get
ting his meals at a monastery and
occasionally begging from passers
by. In the winter he shoveled snow
to make a living. Whenever he
earned a few kronen, he stopped
work and went to some cheap cafe
to deliver political speeches. He
painted poor water colors which a
friend peddled for him, he painted
picture postcards, and when hungry
enough was a house painter. Dur
ing the war he was a corporal.
Here was a man in his thirties
who had never shown any real
promise in anything he did. Then,
Adolf Hitler formed an ideal of
government.

Questions
Answered at State College
QUESTION: Will it hurt for
me to take my cotton to the gin
while it is damp?
AeNSWER: Yes. Some gins
have driers that remove the unde
sired moisture, bub many do not.
When damp lint is run through a
gin, the saw teeth cut it up so that '
the quality is impaired. Gin-cut |
cotton sells as a lower grade and
aft a price several dollars lower
than could be obtained from un- .
damaged lint. Pick the cotton
when it is dry. if you can. If you
must pick it damp, spread it out
where it can dry before you take
it to t'he gin.
QUESTION: My tobacco quota
isn't large enough to cover all my
crop. Where can I get more
quota poundage?
ANSWER: You may have aj
neighbor who will have some
poundage left on his marketing
card after he has sold all his leaf.
You can buy his surplus for what
ever price you both agree upon.
Or you can get your county office
or warehouse men to get the card
for you. When you deal through

QUESTION: Can I keep .chick

ANSWER: Many people do. but |
the birds must be given careful
attention. Don't overcrowd them.
It is better to have a few thrifty ;
