Now the Nazi state announces that couples who wheu mar rled have worked on the land since leaving school will t\ot have to rel?a'y the loans until tiiey are thirty, and if they are still farmers then, the debt will be cancelled. Coming from a nation whose grievance against the rest of the Wcrld is that it has no room for its surplus population, this looks on tne fade of it like a fantastic scheme. >Vhy encourage more babies wheni there is not room enough for the present population? And when a na tidn is unable to pay its bills, as tier many is, constantly pleading poverty to its creditors but constantly bearing down on its people for more taxes with which to buil.l tip its military forces, how can it spend money so freely to encourage matrimony? The most plausible answer is thai the German government is anticipating the next war and looking for; ward to the deaths of another ten or twelve millions of Its young men . and so is taking precautions against depopulation l?y seeing to it that' there are enough children left to carry on after their fathers have been sacrificed on the altars cf the War G?ls. That is not too far-fetched an explanation when 'it is remembered I that in the Nazi scheme of things the individual counts for nothing, the State tor everything. There are * ao personal rights or liberties left, everybody is the servant of the Got eminent, whose will is eupretne. Tflhere are Americans who honestly believe that this country needs a more disciplined and regulated social system. Well, one of the results of a regimented and controlled social systti.n is that young men and * women are bribed to marry so that Ithey can breed more chlMrcn to grow up Into cannon-fodder for the greater gio.y of the dictators who TV control their nation. ^ NATIONAL PROBLEM Before the World War syphilis was a disease which people refrained from discussing. Doday It has been recognized as a national ?problem and as such calls for discussion. Medical examinations of young man entering service during 'the World War revealed that a large , .1 ? .1 proporuou i>i lunu were sui.ierum from the disease. With this revelation came the necessity for doing something about It. Jn the Congress of the United States a bill has recently been Introduced for the control of syphilis os I national basis, funds to be pro trilled with which to fight tl?o dlsWhen people begin to realize that the disease Is-highly contagious, that j thousands of innocent people suffer from it that perhaps more people ( 41* from this disease than any ether. the> liijpoitance cf making on effort to control it will be better und 1 ^5^555I55^55!^5!^^5 bout bgV of all U?# ohm aro acquired innocently, Infection, coming , from using public drinking cups, towels, from serrantn in tbe nome.

PLENTY TIME FOR PARADES The C. I. O. staged a big parade of the employees of the Edna Cotton Mills as a dlspay of their strength several days ago. Last week we read: Rotdsville. April 5.?The Edna Cot :cn Mill here has posted notice that the mill will close Friday, April 15th and remain closed until business con Jitions warrant resuming operations. W. Denton Pipkin, treasurer of the Edna. Mills Corporation, today confirmed the notice and said the mill will reopen when business has Improved enough to justify operations. The suspehsion of operations had no connection with the C. 1. O. parade. but were made necdssary by the Roosevelt Depression and the be loy-ccsl prices which are now being pai!J for cotton goqds. However, the activities of the C. 1. O. and their Federal l^abor Relations Board have played a large part In the destruction of business confidence. 1 The C. I. O. workers at the Edna Mills will now have plenty of time for parades, but we doubt if the paI rades will produce much of the food ' | which they and their families will need or that the C. I. O. leaders who promote'J the parade can be depended. upon for much assistance. The Edna Cotton Mills was the medium through which the workers secured the money for the support j of their families, but they., turned a ^guisi tne nun aim par?u?*u -?im I the C- I- O. organisers.

Progress vs. Politics By RAYMOND PITCAIRN National Chairman Sentinels of the Republic During the past few weeks various groups of citizens have appeared before Committees of Congress to urge con* structlve action in the cause of recovery. They have been asking government to lift Its foot from the brakes which slow down progress, re-employment, and our national well-being. America, they have pointed oat, has the resources, the energy, the strength and the intelligence to continue the progress which in a century and a half developed oar country from a fledgling republic into one of the greatest nations in history, and created high standards of living for Its people. In these statements they are supported by established facts. They, and the many American workers and earners whom they represent, can show that In the United States we have, in addition to generous natural resources, more automobiles, more telephones, more radios, more railroads than any nation on earth. They can show that the purchasing power of the American people is greater than the purchasing power of all the millions In Europe or in Asia. They can add that the American people top the list In facilities for education for all. Throughout the world our nation Is acknowledged as-the home of religious tolerance and widespread opportunity. These things, they eau show, were net the gifts of office-holders and politicians. They were created and developed by the initiative, the strength and the love of freedom of the people themselves. With such facts not only evident, but universally acknowledged, the average citizen continues to ask that our progress lis allowed to continue, unchecked by the hand of oolitic*. whether it he*r? i gifts or a goad. Congress. It would s;?m. Is lending a more willing ear to the demands of the people. In several recent instances It has demonstrated a readiness to put their desires above the promisee and the pressure of politics. AO Americans will hope that Congressmen continue to consider the demands of the people above the voice of politics, and thus set us again on the i road to recovery and re-empieynme*.

Rows should be spaced 3 1-2 feet apart and hills 20 to 24 inches apart n the row. . Schmidt says that In order to have a succession cf corn, plantings should be made every two weeks. To secure better pollination, plantings should be made in blocks of rrce or four rows rather than in single rows. < .
