, Evtntf of recent week* have
thrown the old Democratic party
Into a quandary. It remains to be
seen whether Its leadership has
ithe perspicacity to solve the di
lemmas perched on both ears of
the Democratic mule.
I Problem 1-Will the party be
l a ble to take advantage of a very
|real revolt of the farm population
against the Eisenhower adminis
tration agricultural program?
| Problem 2—Can the party pick a
.leader who will heal the very real
revolt of „ the poweiful southern
Democratic leaders which looms
bigger every day as a likely cau
cus belli for another splinter, or
third party movement in the South.
' I® the farm revolt real? The
Wall Street Journal, the Bible of
economic Republicanism in these
parts, thinks it is. Says the Wall
Street Journal in a post-Minne
sota primary issue:
! “ . • . Says Leonard Hall, Repub
lican National Chairman: ‘Repub
licans weren’t in the Minnesota
primary; we were on the side
walk watching,’
“But talks with farmers over the
back fence, in the feedstore, and
along the streets of Minnesota's
rural communities leave little
doubt that, despite such factors,
the farm, revolt is real.” And the
Wall Street Journal stresses,
“(The) President, not Benson,
gets most of the blame for sliding
income, rising costs.”
This evidence of a farm revolt
is further borne out by recent
action of the North Dakota Non-
Partisan League, which broke a
forty-year tradition *>y voting to
switch from the Republican to the
Democratic column in filing its
Candidates in this year’s election.
The yote in convention wag 150 to 7.

1 The word coming into Washington
r is that this farm revolt is weD
* under way In the agricultural
1 mid-west, in Illinois, lowa, Indiana,
- Missouri, Ohio, South Dakota and
t that even in such Republican
strongholds as Kansas, Nebraska
! and Wisconsin, the Republican
rural vote will be materially cut
t in the coming election.
If this farm revolt is real, and
the farmers switch their 1952 vote,
1 Political statisticians are du
; bious of the entire voting popu
lation of the rural areas of the
country, which comprise millions
of small business farms, service
firms, banks, grain dealers and
countless others dependent upon
farm prosperity. And these small
business folks can look at this
record: Since January 1, 1950
there have been more than 3,050
small business failures ,in the
United States, setting the highest
record of failures in more than
a decade, as a matter of fact,
since 1939, • '
The second problem facing the
Democrats is picking a presiden
tial candidate who can unite the
party. Only two men have been
able to do this trick. Woodrow
Wilson united the party to win
after it was sharply divided in the
era of William Jennings Bryan.
Then another split over
prohibition and the Ku Klux Klan,
which was not healed until Frank
lin D. Roosevelt picked up the
pieces and put them together inf
1932. Harry S. Truman won in
1948, despite a split party, but
with the aid of a farm vote much
the same as is shaping up now.
And Mr, Truman likely will be a
dominant factor in the Demo
cratic Convention at Chicago this
summer, •

RECEPTIONIST IN
DOCTOR’S OFFICE.
“&lisa Orundoon 'Bell’’ a small,
brown and white Cocker Spaniel,
' owned by Dr. W. L Bell, a chiro
-1 prafctor in Burnsville, N. C., Khs
been serving as receptionist for
Dr. Bell’s newly opened office. Her
duties are to greet each patient
with a furiously wagging tail, and
generally make them feel at home
In the waiting room At first, she
thought it would be a good idea to
take the patients hats and gloves,
but this proved rather disastrous
as she could not resist the tempta
tion of chewing them up. This lit
tle chore had to be taken from
her. As a “tail wagging reception
ist," however, she has performed
her duties with perfection.
Doing odd things in odd places
is nothing new for Grundoon. In
her three years, she has done quite
a few remarkable things. Last year
she attended classes regularly at
both Asheville-Biltmore College in
Asheville, and thft University of
North Carolina in Chapel Hill,
While at Asheville-Biltmore she
attended classes in speech, drama
tics, economics, and French She
is probably the only dog In Burns
ville who can bark in French. -
While at the University of
North Carolina, she attended clas
ses in pre-ministerial work. On
one occasion, the professor got
rather worked up.-on his topic of
and to
emphasize a point, pounded on
the podium with his fists. With
this, Grundoon, who was asleep
under one of the desks, jumped
up with a loud bark. Without bat
ting an eye, the professor retorted,
“Amen brother, Amen". This all
but threw the class into a panic.
Last summer, Grundoon did
quite a bit of walking and camp*
ing along the coast of Virginia
and North Carolina Moat of the
time was spent hiking hundreds of
miles along the outer banka of
North Carolina. The purpose be
hind these excursions was some
research being done by Dr. Bell,
but to Grundoon, It meant a host
of strange, new, smells and sights.
Her favorite sport is chasing sea
gulls and "Mother Carey’s Chick
ens” along the ocean’s edge or dig
ging sand fiddlers in the sand. To
her, a dead and decayed fish pre
sents an aroma thpt corresponds
to No, 8 to us and on
every occasion she will roll on one,
but as she was constantly In and
out of the water, the smell soon
wore off.
Grundoon has the reputation at
Virginia Beach, Va, as being the
neatest, most weJJ behaved “beer
hound’’ on the beach. She lovea
beer, bu* unlike most people,
knowg exactly when to stop. The
only apparant effect It has on her
is a momentary lack of cat-detec
tion.
One of the cleverest things she
can do is sing. She can harmonize
with most any voice; with her head
thrown back in what sounds like
happy dog howling,
She likes a great many things,
