Thny (.oil li 4 "drab" They, meaning those guvs who occupy -swi vel chairs and thrive oil theory and below-cost vegetables and other farm products, are refer ring to the proposed commodity loans as a "farm grab" Forgetting all about the basic facts on the farmer's side, they swing to and talk way deep about inflation and tell what ser ious effect will follow if the farmer is paid a living price for his products The farmer, in his past blindness, has accepted the city slicker s theory fur long years, but the agriculturist one day may ask what difference js it to live under Hitler arid his intteii-to-the-eore new order than to live under a regime that will actually deny him the actual cost price of his labors'.' The self-styled theorists and smart guys with daring bigotry are boldly pointing out that the Farm Loan.Bill is a measure to be vetoed by the President They say it will lead to inflation, that only two Senators had the guts to vote against it. It is possible for inflation to follow farm price increases, but until those prices get high en ough to compensate the farmer for his toil, let us pray that the city slickers will not daring ly beg for continued free vegetables from one of the lowest-paid groups in America The bill as it is generally understood only pro vides loans of a certain percent of parity, mean ing that if it costs a farmer 15 cents to produce a pound of cotton he may borrow 13 1-2 cents on it The same holds true for wheat and corn. And yet there are those who would deny the farmer that small "break" We have stood by wlule contractors, manufac turers and others have received contracts car rying a cost-plus provision. We have stood by while the tariff reached out a protecting arm to "struggling" industry. We have stood by j while the investors reaped their returns. We have stood by while the politicians emptied and re-emptied the ole pork barrel in the name of every cause under the sun but not to agricul ture We have stood by and enjoyed the richest and finest, the most appeahnglv-wiapped farni^ produce at a price below the cost of production to the farmer. We have stood by, sheltered in the air-conditioned office buildings, while the farmer, his wife and little ones toiled from sun to sun in the fields We have stood by while nearly fifty per cent of the little babies were born into this world, their mothers without the services of a doctor. We have stood by while the farmer's income dwindled to a point in yell ing distance of that received by the old-time serf. We have stood by while the farmer contin ued to feed the nation by going deeper and deep er into debt until he'has about reached the end jf the mortgage rope and the noose of the in stallment plan. We have stood bv while disease gripped, children who were ill-housed and poor ly clad on the farm. We have stood by all the while and done nothing. And yet when the farmer's voice is at last heard in the halls of Congress along with the AMA lobbyists, the industrial lobbyists, the city slickers rush to the front with an inflation ghost, lb lift the farmer to a level enjoyed by> the smart, the shiftless, the high and the low may bring inflation. But it is not right under the slogan that all men are created equal to place the burdensome task of holding inflation in check on the shoulders of the downtrodden far mer and the farmer alone Any man who holds to the theory that the billions spent for defense will not bankrupt the nation and that a few. very few millions spent in the name of what is just and right will bankrupt the nation is foolish and is to be class ed with the robbers and money-changers. This nation has favored the manufacturer with the tariff. It has favored the unemployed in the city It has favored the ill-housed dudes in the city. It has gathered together one of thp greatest hordes of office workers "that will make a sizable showing in number against Hitler's uniformed men. It has hauled the filthy pro paganda of a subsidized and in {nany cases a controlled press for less than cost of production. And yet when it comes to meat and bread, the fanner is condemned for even pleading for a loan less than the actual cost Stiinlay Farm inn Following the example set by the dollar grabber and those who seek selfish pleasure, some farmers are now going about their tasks in the fields on Sunday. And whether it is worse to open the doors of the business house on Sunday or to crank up the tractor is beside the point. There are exceptions to all rules. Even the ox ma) be taken from the ditch on Sunday, but the general trend away from the real mean ing of the Sabbath Day can be considered alarming 111 a world where there are few sta bilizing factors to guide the weary millions. When it comes to farming on Sunday when the nation's granaries are bulging with food and feed and when surpluses are holding prices be low cost of production, it would seem that the farmer who goes into his field is vainly search ing for something he knows not what Doft I,nvnr n There is something appealing in the friend ship existing between the master and his dog, but it is hard to understand how a person can love and coddle a dog during certain hours and then turn him out on the public to raid other people's garbage cans, trample down flowers and yelp during some mighty good sleeping hours. Then there are those dog lovers who ac tually subject human beings to rabies bv re fusing to have their tootsie-wootsie curs vac cinated. When an owner acts so indifferently lie isn't a fit person to own a dog, and when a dog, pet tigreed or strayed, becomes a nuisance or a menace, then the police should act, Uoing hu mane methods where possible. C.uttinfi ) oniifi 7'rm Hnitis Future Vallien Not since 1926. when- the Inst warning sig nals of a coming depression were hoisted (and ignored) has the lumber and timber market been so active Tracts which were a drag on the market a year ago are now being sought for double the former price. Improvement started late in July 1940. when the defense program got underway and has been almost too rapid since. Sawmills that had stood dismantled for years have appeared as if by magic and the slaughter is appalling. Tim berland owners who justified skinning their land a few years ago by saying, "Prices are so low 1 can't afford to practice forestry," now say, "must sell all I can while the market is good." Most large operators have adopted selective cutting on their own holdings and recommend it for those from whom they buy. Some even go so far as to offer the services of their forestry departments in selecting the trees to be cut' Hut it is the owner who has the final say If he rejects the $1,000 offer of a responsible opera tor who wants only the mature timber and ac cepts $1,001 from a fly-by-night buyer who will strip the land, he cannot expect much sympathy when he cries about his property being ruin ed?The Progressive Farmer.

More than one time I have seen Harrison's and Carstarphen's insur ance sign and have paused to ask myself the question, "Am I insured to properly take care of or to pro tect my family?" The imperative sentence. "Think It Over" is what glues my mind on the subject Day by dky I think of a great public en emy and often wonder if I am do ing my part as a Christian citizen, not just a minister of the gospel, but a voting Christian citizen living in a democracy, to down this enemy. In this age of machinery demanding clear heads, clear vision and steady hands; in a day when the difference between life and death is in the blinking of an eye. the turning of a foot, the motion of a hand, we ought to ask ourselves the question, "Are we safer and are our children safer with John Barleycorn, highly ad vertised. well dressed up and easy to find than they would be if he had to wear clothing suitable to his na ture and could only be advertised in agreement to what he has done. Let us not fool ourselves. Kentucky thoroughbreds eat wholesome food and drink pure water Alcoholic bev erages are not a part of their diet What farmer in Martin County gives his workstock beer and liquor? Think it over. Read the following state ments and think it over! "His earthly tenement was shat tered by beer and wine, and his spir it departed before it was called for." (From an early Egyptian inscrip tion). "And the Lord spake unto Aaron saying. Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou nor thy sons with thee." (Moses in 1490 B.C.). "Drink not liquors that intoxicate! and disturb the reason." (Buddha. | 550 B C). "Drunkenness is a faltering devil, | a sweet poison, a pleasant sin. which whosoever doth commit, com mitteth not a single sin, hu( becomes 1 the center and slave_of all manner] of sin." (Augustine. 430 A.D.). "In the course of life there is noth ing about which we put ourselves to | more trouble than wine, as if na ture had not given to us the most salubrious drink with which all other animals are satisfied." (Pliny, the Elder. 79 A D .). "Few drinkers believe themselves incapable of moderation. But the verdict of psychology is not just against excessive drinking it is against all drinking, unless a case can be made for the beneficial ef fects of habitual narcosis." (Albion | Roy King, Psychologist). I would not waste time trying to train or develop one who uses alco hol. A boy or young man who drinks does not give himself a fair chance." (Coach Fielding Yost, a total ab stainer all his life.) "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceiv ed. thereby is not wise,'' (Proverbs 20:1.) "Thanks, I don't drink; just give me a glass of water." (Douglas Cor rigan ) Paul says, "And have no fellow ship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." This is to be our attitude toward any kind of evil.
