SEED CATALOGUES.
This is the month the postman
brings,
Trudging through snow and rain and
fogs,
These early harbingers of Spring’s
Return —the garden catalogues.
Snug by the blazing hearth, I plan
A flower-bed woven of a dream
Os larkspur and valerian
And lilies bending by a stream.
Through these frail seedlings may
not bloom
In bright profusion, what I see
Prefigured in this lamp-lit room
Is none the less reality.
Nor frost nor winter storms shall
pale
This pledge of April’s counterpart,
Nor all the winds of heaven assail
A garden planted in the heart!

Aunt Jemima Will
Be Here Saturday
Aunt Jemima, the famous Negro
mammy will be here in person all
day Saturday at Rawles Grocery and
Market and invites you and every
one else to come in and sample her
famous Aunt Jemima pancakes.
Not only will it be your oppor
tunity to see Aunt Jemima “doing
her stuff” over a griddle, but V. E.
Rawles, Jr., manager of the store in
vites you to taste for yourself the
fluffy goodness of “Pancakes a la
Aunt Jemima”.
“Aunt Jemima” in all her 200-lbs.
of glory will be at the Rawles
Grocery & Market—all day Satur
day to show just how good pan
cakes can taste, and to show you
how to make them just as good in
your own kitchen.
Aunt Jemima belongs to the school
of outstanding cooks born of the
Old South, and she has away all
of her own with “pancakes.” Just
to prove that her delicious morsels
of culinary achievement are not a
“secret process” handed down from
generation-to-generation, Aunt Je
mima promises to show anyone who
has the talent of measuring the pro
per ingredients in a sauce-pan; mix
ing them and pouring them out over
a red-hot griddle, “just how it is
done.” Aunt Jemima, it is said,
prides herself in being able to show
->ven the men folks how they may
become just as adept with mixing
spoon and a griddle as can the
ladies.
If it were possible to stack all of
the pancakes this famous cook has
made “end to end” they would pos
sibly reach half-way to the Moon
\lthough Aunt Jemima does not in
tend to cook quite that many here
Saturday, she does promise all who
are interested a plentiful share “on
he house.”
A large crowd is expected for
Aunt Jemima Day,” tho ample pre
parations are being made, in order
hat none may be disappointed. Aunt
r emima is expected to arrive early
Saturday morning, and will remain
t the store throughout the day—
certainly until six o’clock p. m.

I
Muzzling of “Isms”
Cited as Dangerous
(Continued From Page One)
days of medieval despotism, the
pharaohs and earlier.
Japan isn.’t so sore, for,the Japa-.-
nese never have pretended, with any
sincerity, to have emerged yet from
the Samurai era. The Germans and
the Italians, however, are driven
fairly wild at the suggestion that
they’re retrograded by a few cen
turies. To be sure, their govern
ments have issued nothing official
on the subject, but their press gives
plenty of voice to their feelings—
and everyone is well aware that
their press is as official as their gov
ernments .
Once on a time, within my recol
lection. Germany’s newspapers were
nearly as independent as our own.
Occasionally an editor was over
hauled on a “lese majeste” charge
but that was for getting too person
al relative to royalty—not on gen
eral political principles. And he had
a semi-fair trial; he wasn’t slam
med into a concentration camp with
out a hearing. It was a moderate
ly free press.
As for Italian journals they
were downright libelous. Illustra
tively, Benito Mussolini ran a daily
in Milan, and he was so anti-govern
mental that, as we know, he argued
the nation into a revolution. But
now let an Italian' paper say any
thing against Signor Mussolini
and watch what happens to its edi
tor.
Congressman Sol Bloom
Congressman Sol Bloom of New
York had more than any other single
individual to do with arranging the
national legislative chamber’s ses
quicentennial celebration. In fact,
I think he inspired it. No earlier
congressional anniversary ever was
celebrated.
Congressman Bloom is a special
ist on American history and its per
sonalities George Washington,
adoption of the Constitution, con
gressional sesquicentennials. What
next? He’ll think of something, all
right. Congressman Bloom, by the
way, was one of Mussolini’s first
friends in this republic. He was
acquainted with Benito when the
latter still was a comparatively ob
scure Milan newspaperman, who
called himself a very advanced lib
eral. Sol naturally doesn't like him
so well any more.
Except among the “bund” folks,
Herr Hitler never has had any ad
mirers here, but Signor Mussolini
had a good many for a while. He
hasn’t now, though.
There were three propositions em
bodied in the three'essential speeches
on congressional sesquicentennial
day:
1 — Chief Justice Hughes summar
rized what the U. S. Got out of in
dependence.
2 President Roosevelt summar
ized what, in particular, we’ve got
to hang onto.
3 Speaker Bankhead warned us
against Nazi-ism’s and Fascism’s
internal “dirty work,” in an effort,
right in our own midst, to under
mine democracy.
The Hughes and Roosevelt talks
no comment. What we got
is OK and of, course we want to
hang onto it.
Let ’Em Cackle
But Speaker Bankhead hinted at
the possible desirability of muzzling
Nazi-istic and Fascist public expres
sion in Yankeeland in the public’s
own interest. But is it in the pub-
lie’s own interest?
My dope would be. “Let ’em ful
minate.”
It may be permissible to deport
alien cranks as nuisances, but I
question that, even. I once knew a
Spanish anarchist in London. He’d
been in exile in France, but the
French police shipped him to Eng
land. Landing at Dover, he hadn’t
enough money to entitle him to ad
mission. The port authorities held
him up.
“Yeah,” he said, “but if you re
turn me to Calais, Calais’ll return
me to Dover. What are you going
to do about it?” So the immigration
chaps, holding him, communicated
with the “home office.” Directly
back on the wire, came the home
office’s verdict: “Good gosn. This
bird isn’t an ordinary immigrant;
he’s a political refugee. Right of
asylum. Let him in instantly.”
Democracies, let alone autocra
cies, no longer are as liberal as that,
but I wish they were, and that anar
chist was as peaceable a teacher of
the Spanish language as ever lived
in London.
LaGuardia and the Bund
Incidentally, Mayor LaGuardL.
let the Bund puli' off its meeting in
New York recently.
And the Bund promptly nrnceed
ed to make itself ridiculous. Cer
tainly nobody can say that Mayor
LaGuardia is pro-Bund; he said that
Hitler ought to be put in a horror’s
gallery.
It’s beneficial to let ’em squawk,
I’d say.
