It is not a popular election but four measures are going to be passed upon by the voters anyway. General sentiment is to vote “No” on everything that is not completely understood and many will go to the polls with this sentiment in mind. We submit the proposition that this attitude is not one of good citizenship. The privilege of voting on bills and candidates is one that the American people have fought for and one they would fight for again. Few nations now give their citizens so free a chance to express their opinion on public matters. A decision on the several measures should be made after some study and each should be judged on its merits. A blanket vote of “No” does not give an indication of pub lic opinion, but it merely indicative of public pique. 1T RAINED Most pleasant event of the winter to date hae been the recurrence of the argument about the possible end of the dry spell. For some winters there' has been no possible argument for it was definitely dry and with every indica tion of remaining dry. Farmers who a spring ago plowed up dry dirt when summerfallowing in March will have to dig deeply into the soil next month to achieve the same result. Digging to determine the depth to which the moisture had penetrated the soil was child’s play in 1935 when a hard soled shoe would do the trick. This winter the rainfall has gone down at least two feet in every part of the county and is still going. Other sections report the wet streak over three feet in depth. This condition of ‘‘Jupiter Pluvius mit uns” is most heartening to farmers grown jumpy from putting nice fer tile seed in the ground to have it yield a few shriveled ber ries after a long battle against the forces of nature. If present indications are to be believed there will be wheat in the county next harvest in more plentiful quantity than for seven years. It will roll out the grain spouts as in day» of old and sack sewers will have to be husky and sweating and busy instead of loafing, cool and puny as has been possible for some harvests. ‘ Tia a conaumation moat de- voutly to be wished.” Has any one noticed a drop in the price of bread? There always was a lot of hocus-pocus about the AAA’s part in raising bread anyway and since that act has been thrown out it is more apparent than ever. Bread raised two and a half cents per loaf here and the farmer got one fifth of that raise. He also had to take the blame for the whole thing. We would just like to know what the millers and bakers are using lor an excuse for ten cent bread now. The '‘Princess Alice” of the first Roosevelt regime has the faculty of writing with a pen dipped in what must be thia newfangled branding liquid that takes the place of the old running iron. The greatest wish of Edward VIII will be to live as well and die as beloved as did his father. 3.
