(X, un der act of Marek 3rd, 1878. THE 1940 OUTLOOK It is encouraging to understand that business leaders expect 1940 to be a good year. While apprehensive over the ef fects of the war in Europe, most business leaders think that 1940 will continue to develop favorably, sub ject to a temporary check if inven tories pile up as manufacturing out runs consumption. Just what 1940 holds in prospect for the laborer and the farmer is un certain. If labor can heal the breach within its own ranks, the power of organization will help the working men to get fair share of any prosper ity that develops. Millions of farmers, scattered over vast areas and badly disorganized, are beginning to learn something about the benefits of organization. If they work together in 1940, they may be able to hold the gain thus far accomplished and, perhaps, make a further advance in improving the economic condition of agriculture. The capitalists of the nation, who depend upon interest for their in come, can hardly expect increased in comes because there is no indication that interest rates will increase. Capitalists whose investments are in business enterprises will share in the improved conditions. Individuals on a salary basis may look for small gains. INCREASED BUYING POWER FOR FARMERS ESSENTIAL TO THE NATION. Secretary Wallace has recently given publicity to the idea that agri culture must secure & source of rev enue for farm programs out side of the Federal Treasury unlesF farm ers expect to fight every year for their present benefits. We are not entirely familiar with the certificate plan which Mr. Wal lace calls a "streamlined version" of the processing taxes, which were out lawed by the Supreme Court. We agree with him, however, that the survival of the farm parity payment program, if not the farm program itself, is at stake and that a new method of financing the program should be discovered as early as pos sible. Farmers throughout the United States should never loee sight of the hostility which exists toward any program designed to secure for far mers a more equitable distribution of the income of the nation. They should not lull themselves to sleep with the idea that "parity" prices for agricultural products hare been ac cepted by the nation as a whole. Only a few days ago, The New York limes said, "The idea of parity prices for agricultural products will not bear realistic ventilation." This is mild comment compared with some which appears in metropc!itan newspapers. It is a light note in comparison with some of the remarks made by non farming groups who insist that what the farmers wants is a permanent . dolBe The Secretary of Agriculture has m** | | j'm| to yi] hi* certificate pi*" to officials connected with the Gov ernment After a recent inter-de ?

In other words, trade in the Unit ed States must be a circular move ment, with commerce moving from the industrial areas to the farms and produce moving from the farms to the industrial areas. So long as something like a balance exists be- < tween the purchasing power of the groups, the trade will continue, but if either group becomes impoverish ed, the circular flow of commerce win inevitably stop. This is about what has happened in the United States. To restore the national econ omic system to healthy circulation, there must be a restoration of the buying power of agriculture. THINK IT OVER Bj F.B. STEVENS Many words and well known ex pressions of American thought have lost the meaning with which our founders clothed them and the land marks of our progress are lost in the fog. The terms Liberty and Ameri canism have been maliciously wound around the most vicious Old World Propaganda that this land of the FREE has ever known. For that reason in discussing Communism I quote its definition from a standard dictionary?"Com mon ownership of property and state control of labor, religion and social relations." Compare this with Article One of our Bill of Rights, the anniversary of whose birth we celebrated last week?"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of reli gion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The whole spirit of the Declaration of Independence breathes of oar inalienable right to worship God as we choose. We are entitled to the dollar we have earned by the "sweat of our brow" and to enjoy oar so cial relations with oar neighbor. Com monism is a direct antithesis of Freedom. It denies every individ ual Bight which we Americans claim as inalienable. As a government it has been a failure throughout all history. It brought colonial Virgin ia to the starvation period where 88% of the people perished by hanger. In smaller units, such as Onedia Community of New York State, it found itself in conflict with Ameri can thought and disappeared. The Russian government used it as a spring board to place in power dic tators who ignored human, rights as completely as did the Czars whom they displaced. Yet the Communists of this country are brazen enough to call Communism "20th Century Americanism," when it is not Ameri canism of any time or place. It wars against every principle which we consider sacred. To promote its vicious doctrine in this country the Russian group has purchased outright those of feeble American thought, has engineered fake passports in violation of our laws and agreements,, and has sup plied those dupes of foreign ideals with money to overturn our American Liberty and involve us in the unholy conflict of the Old World. They are working not only as a Communistic party here but are bot*" ing into our established institutions with the hope of wrecking them. ; Communism is a representative, together with Nazism, of a collectiv istic government of Dictatorship. The Nazi-Soviet pact is evidence of this similarity. It is not sufficient to say that { this potential party must be thrown out of our country if Freedom is to continue, but the communistic line of thought that is showrng itself in modi of our legislatioinnust he ab solutely eradicated by education ^>r otherwise. Our greatest danger* lies there. I STATE COLLEGE ? ANSWERS TIMELY I ? QUESTION: How modi seed bed I should be prodded for planting ten [acre* of tobacco?

Ifl MUNITY DEVELOPMENT The Colored Elk Lodge of Farm vllle, Calumet -No. 27S, is living true It can always be counted on to sup port any project that has for its pur pose the general advancement of the community. During the recent drive for Christ mas funds for the needy, the lodge contributed cheerfully and liberally. In addition it' pledged a contribution in the* form of a $5.00 bond to the National Anti-Tuberculosis Cam paign. It is a staunch supporter both of the public achocl and all religious organizations. Calumet is also setting a fine ex ample in economy and thrift It owns its own hall and other valuable prop erty on Main Street It owes no past due installments and has a nice little bank account It has a large and cooperative membership and is well managed by a corps of excep tionally fine officers. Brother James Taylor is the pres ent Exalted Ruler. Brother Benny Gorham served in this capacity for nine yean during its 'early period of development He was then promoted to Special Deputy. Brother Joe Blount is its present secretary and has served in this capacity for four teen years. He is also a state offi cer and is considered one of its most indispensable members. Boother J. E. Artis, its present treasurer, has held the bag since early in its be- * ginning. During all of these years, he has never been found one penny short. Statistics show that this is the most progressive lodge, of-this order, in this state. By H. B. SUGG.
