Of course, the bo; t way to pre serve a profitable market for farm products is to preserve the purchas ing power of the great masses ol people who are not farmers. Farm ers should never forget that they are a declining proportion of the popu lation Only 30 years ago farmers constituted more than one-third ol the population. Toii.-jy they are scarcely more than one-fifth. As efficiency of agriculture in creases, the proportion of farmers to the total population will continue to decline. Elimination of several million sub-marginal farms may ac celerate this. When we can agree upon a taw distribution of national ini nine, and set up economic controls that will bring about an approximately just distribution, then for the first time we shall begin fully to etvjcy the advantages which modern s.ienct and engineering make possible foi all people. Until then we shall hav« wars and political upheavals.

Uehiiidlhe-Sce nes Stuff: News papermen's shop-talk includes the alleged reasons for the unpopularity of lie Gaulle in certain high political places. One statesman said: "He is arrogant, hard to get along with, stuffy." . . . Another revealed that De Gaulle "like* to make an en trance" (especially in swanky hotel dining rooms; when a trumpeter too-tootles his approach with some ta-da, dee-da, dah, dee, da, dahmg).

Oop: Recently a Nazi prisoner of | war escaped from the stockade at Camp Crowder. He learned the location of the camp's supply ware house and got there without being j detected.

"What is your name?" asked Hi.!- ; zoner. "Levy," said the fellow. "Raiely in the life of any jurist." j was the caustic retort, "pomes , there a motion which he can giant with such pleasure." Shawl-shawl: Returned bomber | pilots have a favorite story not new ( to some of us on the papers. It deals i with the U, S. bunt be r crew flying over Switzerland, which was hailed via radio by the ground civ v. of a j Swiss anti-aircraft battery. "This w neutral territory.

At that tune, Mellett asked lus managing editor for the pay hike ; and when turned down he quit. The P-P was among the first to buy his 1 eolyuni. It pays him the wage ho got when a reporter. As a matter of principle, Mel lett asked the present editor to pay $5 extra. He not this reply: "Okay, Sorry you had to wait so long l\.r ' it." ! l\lercile>s Truth: John Krskine re- j calls a college dean who used to say you couldn't teach a man matlie- j unities if there was a girl in the i room, or if you could, ho wouldn't be worth teaching. Ilrht'heh: The editor of This Week convulsed the column with the one about the sentry who heard a noise and called out: "Who goes there?" A voice from the darkness answered: "Lieut. Jones. Let me i through." ) "1 can't let you proceed, sir, with i out the password," said the sentry. J "Oh, for goodness sakes," said the I officer. "you know me well j enough. Let me through." "No can do," was the retort, I "gotta have the password, sir." Just then a bored-with-it-all sol- i dier in the nearby guardhouse yelled: "Oh, don't stand there argu ing all night—shoot him."
