T o vast majority of the farmers
rc. x that the value in soil im

tent the payments.
The money is slated to be distri
buted during what is stated to be- a
r.uher trying time with he farmers
in his county. The cotton crop has
j been off this season and other crops
have been raised in the- face of a
rather touch situation. In some
sections it will be necessary to give
tenant farmers some form of relief.
The payments will begin imme
diately and after the farmer has
received his notification he will j
obtain his check through the coun
tv agent’s office.
The soil conservation program
has enjoyed a more successful reign
this past year than the popular
"AAA” did in 193 5. The rulings
are simpler yet the results are said
to be better for all concerned.

SUN SETS FIRE TO FLORIDA
HOME.

Sunday', and then did it a second
time. Firemen were called to a
home on Riverside Ave., where
they found a curtain on fire. The
small blaze was extinguished, and
Assistant Chief A. Dopson began
investigating the cause. He noticed
the sun shone through a window,
and then through a glass bowl on a
table onto the curtain, which had
b.en thrown beside the bowl. Sure
enough, the rays soon had the cur
tain burning again. The tempera
ture was 74 degrees.

Bruce Barton Says |
5fES BLESSED—AND EASIER
It is customary for all writers
ind speakers to do something par
ticularly sweet and tender about
Christmas—anti quite properly so
At no other time of year does so
much of the goodness of human
ituare come to the surface. Stern,
repressed people open up; lonely
xople emerge from their seclusion
nto waiting compansionship; the
miserly develop a streak of semi
ijenerosity; the hearts of the mul
titude of fathers and mothers are
ighted with a brighter glow of af
fection for the youngsters; laught
;r and friendliness and good fel
lowship seem to be everywhere.
But there is also another side to
the picture. The very happiness of
the fortunate is a more acute re
minder of how unevenly the good
things of life are passed around. On
those who already have too much
ire showered a profusion of gifts
md gadgets, while those who have
to little are made only more keenly
iware of their lack.
At the risk of sounding a sour
note I venture to remind the for
tunate members of my congrega
tion that they are fortunate, and
that they ought cheerfully and
gratefully to undertake whatever
responsibilities that fact involves.
If you are called upon to give to
those less lucky; if you are suppor
ting some relatives who have had
a tough break, for heaven’s sake
don’t grumble or think you are
abused.
A friend of mine, wise in years
and experience, has a private pen-1
sion list as long as your arm of
poor relatives ex-employes, and
beaten folk of every sort. I saw
hin the other day in the act ofj
drawing his Christmas checks. He I
shook his head. "Takes a lot of
dough,” he said, "but one thing I
know: I’d a lot rather be on the
giving end than on the receiving
end.”
It is said in the book from which
Christian takes its name that "it
is more blessed to give than to re
ceive.” It is also easier.

SOME MERIT IN LOBBY
You might think the annual re
port of the Corporation Counsel of
the City of New York would be a
dull document, but my friend Paul
Windels has made it a truly fas
cinating story of public service.
The following paragraph in it, how
ever, made me stop, look and listen.
"The chief function of the leg
islative division continues to be a
determined and continued opposi
tion to the host of bills introduced
each year (at Albany) which are
inimical to the best interests of the
City of New York.”
This means that the City of
New York’s chief law officer con
ceives it as part of his duty to see
that "lobbying” is continuously
and effectively carried on in the
interests of his bosses, the tax pay
ers. He is absolutely .right, of
course.
Then why isn’t an officer of an
industrial corporation equally right
in considering that he has a duty
to present to members of the legis-i
lature or Congress the arguments
against any piece of legislation!
which threatens the interests of his
bosses, the stockholders?
Once, for a period of a week, 1
_ir__ & _
measure was proposed which would
have been harmful to. the publish
ing business, and a group of us
went to Washington.
One Senator said: "You gentle
men do us a service by coming
down here. So many thousand bills
are introduced that we cannot pos
sibly know about all of them. The
only way we can prevent an unin
tentional injury is through getting
would be hurt.”
Legislators are the servants of
the people, not their bosses. Even
"a cat may look at a king”—and
even a taxpayer ought to have a
right to look at and talk to a Sen
ator.

score of 23 to 19 and the Spencer
boys coming from behind to cap
ture a thriller by the score of 2 5;

The Spencer girls took an early
lead and held this lead until the
final period when the reserve
strength of the visitors proved to
much. Swaim and Hutchinson were
the outstanding performers for the
visitors wnne ^eoastian ana Morgan
were best foi the locals.
The boys game started off rath- i
er slow, as both teams found the A
opposing defense rather tight andB
the first period ended in a 3 alfl
deadlock. The Winston boy®
found the basket in the secon^B
quarter and were leading at intej^H
