FOR GOOD FARMING
Good Equipment
With unsettled marketing conditions, it is
safe to say that the farmer who produces a
GOOD crop this year is the one who will come
out all right. Don't try to get by with old plows
and equipment. For best results, use only the
finest implements.

Advancement of the referenlum

On Monday, Secretary of State

Officials would not say, after the

WASHINGTON
LETTER
WASHINGTON. January 31.?
It is a toss-up as to which topic
is paramount here this week?
foreign policies or intensified attempts
to spike a third term for
the President. Congress is, of
course, the sounding-board for all
the views. There is a certain belligerent
tone which dominates all
conversations.
The British tactics in seizing
the U. S. Mails for inspection has
stirred more public resentment
than any blunders on the part of
the other warring nations. Apparently
no one ever told English
officialdom about the extreme sensitiveness
of all Americans to
tinkering with Uncle Sant's mail.
Postal packages are left on top
of public receptacles anywhere
without being molested because
the mail enjoys something of a
sacrosanct character. Hence, the
British action hits a raw nerve
and sways public sentiment.
The intrusion of C. I. O.'s Lewis
into tne political arena has provoked
interest in the future plans
of Mr. Roosevelt. The various
Democratic hopefuls welcome a
"smoking out" but doubt tjiat the
Pies'don t will oblige for some
months. The candidates find it
difficult to obtain financial backing
in rounding up delegates owing
to the uncertainty.
Friction between this country
and Japan' i? not likely to subside
for a few weeks. It is reported
that jingoists in Congress
will press hard for embargoes in
order to hit the imports of the
Nipponese. Diplomats do not believe
the controversy will ever j
reach a warlike stage despite the
cliest-tlmmping of _ the Jap military
caste.
So much publicity has been
given to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation that the average
citizen loses sight of other services
engaged in similar work. The
G-men" have overshadowed their
brethren because of sensational
stories but so far have not excelled
in actual performance of
the assigned duties. It is significant
to note that President
Roosevelt in tribute to the Treasury
agents said. "In carrying on
in the spirit of its name the personnel
of the Secret Service remain
for the most part unsung
heroes". Another group which performs
without fanfare of publicity
is the Postal Inspection Service
with 615 6ecret agents probing
anything' from anonymous letters
to robbery and murder. Some of
their work has to do with filching
by employees handling the
mails. This activity accounts for
the locked runways with convenient
peep-holes in all post offices
accessible only ' to inspectors on
unheralded visits. Despite these
records, publicity has spread a
glamour over the Department of
Justice's G-tnen.
The war overseas has at least
one happy repercussion for. this
country. Smuggling of narcotics
has been reduced because cargoes
of liners are more closely inspected
and border controls have
been tightened. The scarcity of
these illicit drugs has also wean'

for the winning girls. R. Rabon I

Lewis of Southport led his team lc

ed many victims from the dread
habit because the drastically dil- l?
uted heroin is not satisfactoiy. F
The Chief of the Treasury's Nar- |
cotic Division stated recently that I h
addiction has been reduced 501 j
per cent since control statutes t|
were enacted in 1924. The eiadi- tj
cation of the domestic marihuana t(
weed has also cut down the illicit
traffic in this drug. It is note- r
worthy that Federal narcotic
agents have been in danger bucking
political rings in some cities
wnere tiibute was exacted from
lurtivee dope peddlers. According
to Chief Ansltnger, "the largest
fields of marihuana are in the
Middle West, in Iowa, Illinois,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota". Stale w
and Federal agencies aie cooper-,0
ating to stamp out the deadly sl
weed, which ciaims a heavy toll j

W. P. A. At least the analogy
was diawn Tuesday, Januaiy i>U,
in Ch.eago when 1-eriy A. Fellows,
Ass.stant Chief Lngincer of s
W. P. A., told a roau-builders f
convention that "tlie county form C
of government and the WPA aie 1
both being attacked on the same j a
giound?that we have outlived ! a
our usefulness". This Fedeial of-',
f.eial interred to "horse-aiui-bug-! "
gy" days when "the s.ze or a
county was determined by the
distance that could be coveied in
a day's journey to the county
seat". Fellows in boasting of W.
P. W. achievements said. "If it is
bad roads that are really the
chief remaining justification of
our county system, then our
WPA load improvement piograni
is all unconsciously?quite unintentionally?working
to bring
about the extinction of the old
county boundaiies". This comment
from a responsible Federal agent
:s, of collise, calculated to shock
local officials into closer cooper
ation with tlie W. P. A. prelum.
The roots of the county as a govcrnmer.tal
unit arc too firmly embedded
in the people's favor to be
abolished with the improvement
of highways.

Work of putting a new roof on
