Cove Wins From

At Cove 16 to 4
Covo secured revenge from the
Eagles baseball team yesterday when
the Cove team won at home 16 to 4.
Earlier this month the Eagles took
a decision In La Grande, 6 to 5.
The Eagles were without their best
pitcher, Courtney, and the Cove slug
gers hit both Case and Hall consist

larly, only three fanning during the
game, but usually plopped the pill

Next Monday afternoon, July 25.
the S. K. S. L. Bloomer Girls from

A BREATHING SPELL
Congress at last has concluded its long session, and now
the nation can settle back for a few months' breathing spell.
More than 18,000 bills were introduced, affecting almost
every phase of national life, and though most of the bills
were of minor importance, there were so many momentous
problems under discussion that business and industry could
not help but feel uneasy while congress was in session.
Adjournment puts an end to that vague uneasiness. There
were about 500 bills passed, which figure is actually smaller
than that of the previous long session, and considering the
economic conditions of the past two years, suprisingly few
of the bills passed involve any radical principles which might
frighten conservative business men and industrial leaders..
Now they at least know what's what.
The exasperating problem of raising sufficient taxes to
meet the mounting treasury deficit has been settled, so that
business and industry may adjust themselves to the differ
ences brought about by sales taxes and increased income
taxes. And the organization of the Reconstruction Finance
corporation, together with the passage of the soundly con
structed two billion dollar relief bill, will be a steadying
factor. t , . " "
It is customary to expect, even in normal periods, a con
siderable slump in business and industry while congress is
in session, especially during the year of a presidential elec
tion. The adjournment, on the other hand, usually brings
relief from that period of uncertainty. Apparently this
year will be no exception, for though the winner of the
presidential election cannot be determined this far in ad
vance, the general opinion is that the nation is at last on
the up grade and will continue so, regardless of the outcome
of the election.
Indications of improvement in economic conditions are
daily becoming more numerous the latest being the report of
an advance of 4.7 per cent in commodity prices during the
past month, which is the greatest gain recorded since the
boom days of 1929. That is the one sign of improvement
which economists have been straining their eyes to see.
When farmers and manufacturers experience rising com
modity prices, better times are definitely on the way, for
that signifies depleted stocks, increased demand, and re
covery from stagnation. When prices are going down, no
one wants to buy for fear they will go lower; but when
prices begin to climb, every one who can will buy before
they go any higher. Right there is the one irresistable
factor which is working inevitably toward the restoration of
normal economic conditions throughout the nation.
THE WAR DEBTS
America, in spite of her boasted isolation and self-sufficiency,
is responsive to world conditions. To a great degree
the depression in the United Slates is the result of world
wide disorder. Our economic troubles are international, as
well as national.
Therefore the agreement reached between Germany and
the Allies on the reparations qustion may have, and reason
ably may lie expected to have, an important effect on the wel
fare of the United States.
Germany's creditors settled with her on a basis of her
economic and political crisis; and the other parties to the
agreement are no longer left in doubt as to this financial
and political issue. Among the inevitable fruits must be
less unrest and more trade in Europe, and the more buying
I'lid selling Europe does the greater America's exports.
Gcrmanys creditors settled with her on a basis of her
ability to pay and with the predetermined purpose of call
ing upon Uncle Sam for the cancellation of their war debts.
They have lieen and will be accorded the same treatment
Germany was shown. The American people are in no belter
position to cancel the war debts than the Allies are to pay
them, but never will it be said of the former that they
exacted a pound of flesh. The debtor nations will be asked
to pay no more than they are able to pay.

in another battle between nazis and

One nazi was killed in pistol fire

Police also were fired on.
The communists swarmed from
their hideouts when tho police drew

ROOSEVELT:
No. 1 His Mother, .Sarah Delano Roosevelt
'KEYNOTERS'
In Nominee's Life
AU drewed tip in the latest fnsh
lon of about 40 years ago. a small
boy used 'to be seen driving with his
yvung niothrr every afternoon In
Dutchess county. New York.
He was Franklin Delano Koosevelt,
now Democratic nominee for the
ji residency, then, due to his mother's
eflorts, one of the best-dressed boys
in the county.
His mother was Sarah Delnno
Roosevelt, wife of James Roosevelt,
Franklin's father, and distant cousin
of President Roosevelt.
But thouiih his mother dressed htm
up she did not baby him. With the
other young bloods of the neighbor
hood he played baseball. He was
rlghtfleidcr on hla team which vig
orously opposed n team made up of
the sons of the gardeners and em
ployes of the estates in the neigh
borhood. There were fights and
Franklin fought, sometimes winning,
sometimes losing.
His mother saw to It that Frank
lin's many questions were answered.
Even be fore the ae of 10 he was
schooled in foreign languages by tu
tors on the old 600-acre Roorevelt
estate in Hyrie park. He made sev
eral trips abroad with his mother,
who always took along one of his
playmates.
Once while yet a youth he sailed
a boat all the way to Eistport. Me.,
from New York harbor. In a squall.
He wanted to be a sailor; so much
so. in fiict. that arguments flew thick
and fast in the family as to whether
he might seek entrance to the U. S.
naval academy at Annapolis.
His mother's will prevailed and
Instead he went to Groton. a pre
paratory school, thence to Harvard
and a law decree, into politics and
now into the Democratic presidential
nomination. He might have been a
naval officer, but his mother's direc
tion may make him president.
He was a tall and hancsomc youth
when he was graduated from Har
vard, regarded as a catch by many u
young lady, but his choice went back
to childhood to a giri he had known
then.
She was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt
a distant relative and the daughter
of Elliott Roosevelt, brother of Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Governor Roosevelt's mother stm
presides at Hyde Park as her son
embarks on his campaign.
