A NOSE FOR PROPAGANDA
Japanese propaganda in the United
States has been completely knocked
out by Chinese reports, says Viscount
Hidemaro Konoe, brother of the Jap
anese Premier, who has recently re
turned to Tokyo after conducting a
symphony orchestra in the United
States.
To meet the clever and artistic pro
paganda of the Chinese this son of
Japan advises his government that
?"the fundamentl thing is to get hold
of a man with a nose for propaganda
and let him take charge." He admits
that, from a Japanese viewpoint "the
opinion in America is much worse
than the people (in Japan) know."
FINAL AUTHORITY
With so many speeches made and
so many newspaper columns written
it is almost inevitable that some of
the speakers and some writers, in
their zeal, forget to depend entirely
upon facts and reason in making their
appeals.
Those who strive to arouse emotion,
who seek to stir prejudice and who
unjustly sway public sentiment are a
menace to the well being of the
people. They mislead the foolish and
thwart the wise.
So far as we have been able to
observe there is no "monoply of wis
dom to be witnessed in any indivi
dual. Consequently, with rare excep
tions, there is no person who knows
it all and is thus entitled to speak
with final authority upon any sub
ject
THE BLUE AND THE GRAY
REUNION
The decision of the Grand Army of
the Republic to hold a reunion with
the Confederate veterans at Gettys
burg next summer moves the San
Francisco Chronicle to point out that
it will give the world final notice
that our people "can fight, and bit
terly, to the limit of their strength,
and accepting the result, come togeth
er again in a united front."
When the surviving veterans meet
as friends, say this newspaper, on
their bloodiest battlefield, the spec
tacle should convince all of us that
there never should be "a lesser quar
rel that cannot be composed by Amer
icans."
There are issues today, it is true,
that deeply move our citizens, but all
of them, together, can hardly equal
the bitterness of the last century
when the men of this country shed
their blood in battle against each
other. However, it is incumbent upon
our leaders to avoid the development
of hatred between groups or sections
because foolish leadership can plunge
any nation into great woes.
While some sectional differences of
opinion exist they can be settled so
long as there is confidence in good
faith and fair play. Their adjustment
will never be helped by a failure to
understand the problems of other sec
tions or by criticism of other Ameri
can as a class.
EQUAL PAY FOR MINISTERS
The Rev. Oscar F. Green, of Palo
Alto, California raised a very nice
point before the triennial convention
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
recently meeting at Cincinnati.
Calling attention to a survey of
salaries of 300 miisters in four Stat
es showing a range from $7,500 to
$720 Mr. Green declared that this
disparity of income is "jeopardizing
our missionary program." He could
think of nothing that would make a
greater impression on the world and
bring more persons to the fact of
Christ t.hftn an effort on our part to
show that as Christian ministers we
are a brotherood willing to share
and share alike."
There is much to what this Cali
?fornia minister says. He adds, "We
do not stay on the job where we are
most useful, but we strive to find a
place of higher pay ... we have en
vied those with large salaries and
worshipped at the altar of Mammon."
The effect of a "share and share
alike" example upon the thought of
the public would be amazed and, no
doubt, work to the advancement of
what the ministers refer to as "the
Kingdom." Of this we are sure but,
at the same time, there are difficuF
ties to be solved and details to he
ironed out in the event that any great
church undertakes to carry out Mr.
Green's suggestion. '
That there are ministers in all de
nominations who work nobly upon pit
tances, doled out to them by their com
munities, is a fact. That there are,

ministers who keep their eyes on the II
main chance is also a fact. However,
the vast majority of the ministers in
the nation deserve the prhise and the
sympathy of the people everywhere.
This does not dispose of the sug
gested "share and share alike" com
pensation for ministers. In fact, the
suggestion should be carried out. In
the military and naval services of. the
Unite States compensation is based
upon length of service, very largely,
rather than upon the positions held
or services rendered. The churches
could base thier pay scale along a
similar line.
Extend Filing Time
For Sales Receipts
An extension of time has been
granted for farmers for filing cotton
sale receipts to qualify for govern
ment price adjustment payments, E.
Y. Floyd, of State College, announc
ed this week.
Sale receipts on cotton from the
L937 crop sold on or before October
15 may be filed with the county agent
any time up to October 30.
Receipts for cotton sold after Octo
ber 15 must be filed within 15 days
after the sale if the grower wishes to
qualify for the price adjustmtnt pay
ments.
Previously it had been annuonced
that receipts on all cotton sold prior
to September 15 should be filed not
later than September 30, and on the
sales after September 15 within 15
days of the date of sale.
This one month extension of time
will enable growers who were not
able to file their receipts within the
time limit previously set to get their
receipts on file as one of the quali
fications for payment, Floyd pointed
out.
The sale receipts must be filed in
order that the sales were made.
The price adjustment payment plan
provides for payment on cotton grown
in 1937 and sold before July 1, 1938,
up to 65 per cent of a grower's
1937 base production, provided that
the grower compiles with the 1938
agricultural conservation program.
The payment per pound on each
bale will be the amount by which the
average price of 7-8 inch middling
cotton on the ten spot markets falls
short of 12 cents a pound on the date
the grower sells that bale. The pay
ment, however, cannot exceed three
cents a pound.
Have Fun on Night
That Witches Ride
On Hallowe'en, witches ride and
weird spirits reign, is one of the
best times of the year to give a
party.
Owls, black cats with curled tails,
witches, moons, and other Hallowe'en
decorations cut from orange and
black paper; pumpkins, corn stalks
red apples, and autumn leaves; Jack
o-lanterns, silhouetted, and scare
crows?all add a weird atmosphere.
Silver Christmas corn can be woven
into a spider web in one corner.
Paper spiders placed in the center
give it realistic effect
The lighting is important. There
should be plenty of Jack-o-lanterns.
Other lights should be dimmed with
orange and red crepe paper. ,
Bobbing for apples, lucky peanuts,
and fortune-telling appeal to all com
ers on a time like this.
For a large group, several fortune
telling devices can be placed in dif
ferent parts of the room, with the
guests going from one to another.
Or a witches' den may be construct
ed, dimly lighted with Jack-o-lan terns,
and with a witch sitting inside be
side her cauldon to tell the for
tunes of all who enter.
A gruesome ghost story told by
some one who has a gift for telling
stories, brings a dramatic climax to
the evening.
Then for the "eats". Cider and
doughnuts, or sandwiches and coffee,
or pumpkin pie with whipped cream
or ginger bread with coffee or cider
?maybe you will want to add nuts,
apples, or popcorn to the list
FALLING STONE INJURES
WOMAN
New York.?When a heavy section
of stone fell from the roof decoration
of an apartment bouse and struck
her as she was walking along the
street, Miss Ruth Powell, 29, was so
badly injured that it was necessary
to amputate her right leg. She also
suffered a fractured skull.
