Interpreting the News
By MARK SULLIVAN
Secretary Wallace and AAA
are buying large quantities of
foodstuffs with government mon
ey. Apparently AAA buys these
foodstuffs at a price slightly
above the market, or in such a
way' as to. prevent the price of
fcod from' going down. Putting
it that way is to say that Sec
retary Wallace and AAA are
keeping the cost of living up.
But AAA doesn't put it that
war that would - be politically
harmful.. They would 'probably
tay, if questioned, that their
purpose is to keep the prices of theiess, for the sake ot argument,
farm crops up. But they don't let's admit it and' turn to" an
put It that way either. AAA other phase of the process.; .

Life's problems are simpler. I

When they're met with in a

I hare talked during the
week with ' a man who frankly
admits it to be his own ' fault
that he Is now approaching old
ge with insufficient means to
enable him to live comfortably
without ' further strenuous effort.
There are moments, he says.
when he feels that he chose the
wrong coarse. - But such mom
ents are not many. He was un
able to travel two roads at the
same time. There were dividends
to be found along the path he
chose to follow. jBut they were
hot cash dividends. -However.
they were rich In quality to his
way of tthlnking, and he Is re
gretful only for the fact that he
did not Carry rich gifts to tne
woman and the children without
whose presence the road would
have been a .wearisome one to
follow, although in providing for
them the necessities of life be
never failed.
I wonder If this man followed
the wrong course? Ho might
have sacrificed himself in com
plete unselfishness, and accomp
lished nothing by doing so. Be
yond me performance oi ceritm
duties looking to the . welfare
and happiness of the people
about him. every individual is
entitled to that which appeals to
him as being of the greater im
portance and most desirable in
tbelr nature. This man of whom
am speaking may have been
mistaken or he may not. Ills
beliefs might j have been fully
justified had time been sufficient
to permit-their fruition, who
knows? j Life Is brier, incom

: For the sake of argument, let

Mr. Wallace and AAA after
buying this food at prices higher
I than they need to pay, give it
persons' on relief. But if
food for them at as low prices
aa good, food can be bought?
There is something Wrong about
Mr. Wallace - acting la two ca-
pacitiee with two contradictory
purposes to buy rood for per
sons on relief and to keep the
prices or food up.
What i Mr. Wallace Is dolnr
leaas to strange consequences,
Ho maka the price of some
kinds of , food so high that ner.
sous or small means or small
inborn est an not buy as much as
thyVattd like, or at all. At
th same time persons on relief
get It for nothing. I ouot let.
Iter from a puzzled citizen of
Seward, Nebraska:
'Earty last winter, in rmvtna

ered the price was rising. In
fact It was annroachlna- th limit
my ability to buy. I told
myeii that if th price went
above 40 cents per pound
would be compelled, in th in
U'ret of economy, to auit eaU
lag butter and go. over to oleo-
zuarglne, though I had never
purchased a pound of eleo.
, -Well, It happened Then the
I price ot butter went down, but
II continued to buy oleo because
1 want . to save since buying
that first pound of oleo we have
had no butter in th house. The
tleo is not bad. But I ask. who
is eating the butter while I have
to- b content with oleo?
"Apparently the moral is:
Keep at work, be thrifty and buy
oleo. Go on the relief rolls and
get butter for nothing."

The Old-Time Fourth of July
Spirit
X presume there are. places in
this land of the free and the
home of the ,. brave where the
oldtlme 'spirit governs on July
Fourth. But something leads
me to doubt it Our school his
tories of 50 and 0 years ago
which, by the Way, is as far
back as I remember books
clearly frankly fanned the fires
ot our hatred for Great Britain,
a hatred which was never luetl- .
fled to the extent to which we
carried It. Jt. 1 not likely that '
the English, people as a whole
were ever otherwise thaa in
sympathy with this republic in
Its struggles to gain a foothold
amongst the nations of the
tarth. At any rat, -the old feei
ng has largely passed away.
Fourth, of July has become
Just another holiday. We do not
let any holidays jet away in this
country. The firing of 13 guns
at sunrise, one gun for each of
the original states. Is po longer
customary. Thei "IS guns" In
the little mid western town where'
I lived were fired f r r m one
small cannon, which did a neat
somersault after) each discharge
and created In the course of tbo
years a very respectable casualty
list. A platform! was erected In
the public quar and decorated
with the national 'colors. The
silver cornet bajnd played, the 1
glee club sang and the fieriest
orator the appropriation would
permit told us what a geelorious
nation we were land twisted the
tail of the British lion delight
fully. I trust there are still
places In the land where the
declaration of Independence is
given a public reading on July
Fourth. The, "grand display of
fireworks in the evening" do
ou remember that? . Something
usually went wrong. A special
fireworks platform was erected
on the drug store corner. I re
call more than one occasion

"grand display"

A sky rocket.
so. beautiful In. its flight agalnt
a dark sky, is a very different
matter from a I horlxonta sky
rocket. After boy has been
chased by. one of the speedy,
writhing things for a few blocks
up an alley he! becomes more
cautious. The ''Nimble Nickel"
store in .our town had a "pre
raafctre "explosion sale" shortly
following one July Fourth.-The
craty fireworks broke the win
dows and slzcled to death In the
picket barrels and popped several
bushels of popcorn and made a
mess of things generally. Every
thing in the store ither smelled
or tasted of gunpowder for
weeks.. Perhaps our love of
country in those days was no
greater than it Is at present, but
it was certainly more demonstra
tive. Gosh! how we lored the
U. S. A.! I
The world is In a condition nf
mind bordering ; on uncertainty
and apprehension, and It is
aomewhat difficult, following the
irena oi auairs as shown by the
news mediums, to believe other
wise than that some warrant ex
ists for it, and ! it Is not alto
gether pleasant. 1 Bad times foi
those of jus In whom the spirit
of faith Is weak. It may heir
some, to tuck this bit from th
poet Wadsworth into our mental
cheek and chew upon it slowly
If. this great world of Joy anc"

If freedom, net. will rise again
And virtue, flOwn. torn back;
Wo to the purblind crew whe

The heart with each day'i
care; j .
Nor gain, from pat to future,
skill f .
To bear, and to forbear!
It Is mighty comforting some
times to have an "IV to fall
back on. I
The public mind has ever had
a tendency to get out of con
trol. It Seems unable at times
to agree with Itself.
