Holman naturally feels that he will
win in November. He claims much
economy ha3 been accomplished

partments to the benefit of taxpay
ers. Pearl Parkins of Ritter, who has
been running his sheep on this side

Fundamentals for families
I met an old friend the other day
i a little New England village.
The last time I had seen him he was
earning $15,000 a year and spend
ing it irt Chicago. The slump
broke him; he lost his job, his
home, everything but what little he
could raise as a loan on his life
Insurance.
"I've bought a little farm up
here," he told me. "I'm the luckiest
man in the world, because my wife
has sound common sense. It was
her idea for us to get back to the
soil and live on next to nothing un
til things get better.
"We're raising a lot of our food,
wearing out our old clothes and
working from sunup to dark and
the funny part of it is that we like
it. The children think it's wonder
ful. Our health is better than ever,
we don't owe a cent, and while
we're not laying up anything yet,
and haven't any luxuries, we've got
all the fundamentals of comfortable
existence. And what else does any
body need?"
That man has the world by the
tail.
Books good friends
A publisher friend sent me the
other day, twelve books. "I'm get
ting these out to sell for fifteen
cents a copy," he wrote. "I've got
an idea that millions of people have
never had a chance to read the
great works of the great writers,
and I'm going to try to supply
them."
Whether he makes a business suc
cess or not, he Is doing a valuable
service. He has shown good judg
ment in selecting the books to re
print. "The Way of All Flesh" is, I
think, the greatest novel ever writ
ten in the English language. And
the list includes many others which
are as interesting the second or the
tenth time of reading, such as
"Green Mansions," "Alice in Won
derland," "Tom Sawyer," "Under
the Greenwood Tree," "Treasure Is
land" and the New Testament, to
name but a few.
Good hooks were never cheaper
nor more widely available than they
are today. And there is no better
companion, no sounder source of
culture, no keener stimulus to the
magination than a great book.
"Jimmy" . . still. . popular
Mayor Walker's resignation un
der lire has not affected his popu
larity with the average New York
er. New York people take a cyni
cal view of political graft. The
man in the street honestly believes
that every public oillcial from the
President down Is in poltiics to
make money for himself, and the
disclosures of huge sums paid to
the Mayor of New York just makes
the average voter think that he Is
a m-ettv smart guy.
It is probable that Mayor wamer
will run for reelection, and my be
lief at the present time is that if he
docs he will be reelected. New York
Is full of people whose suppressed
desire is to be an Irresponsible play
boy of Broadway, and they may
envy and admire "Jimmy" because
ho plavs that role so successiuny.
It is all very, well to talk about
getting rid of undesirable public of
ficials and putting good men in or
tlco. but the rank and fllo of the
voting population has to be reck
oned with, and Die ranK ana me is
never greatly interested in the re
form government.
Exile Typhoid Mary
In a little cottage on North Is-
land in the East River, near New
York, lives a woman in her sixties
who is kept in seclusion because
she is a menace to the public health.
She herself is in perfect health, but
she is a "typhoid carrier."
"Typhoid Mary," as this woman
is known, was a cook. Wherever
she worked, people who ate the
food she handled came down with
typhoid fever. Fifty-seven cases,
some of them fatal, were traced di
rectly to her!
Individualists who think nobody
should be restrained for any cause
sometimes protest against isolation
of "Typhoid Mary." She objected,
at first, but now is reconciled to
living the rest of her days in com
fort at public expense. Her case
illustrates the fact that the good
of the whole social organization is
more important than the liberty of
the individual.
Oysters here again
Oyster farmers are expecting a
bigger and better crop than ever
this year. The oyster of the At
lantic coast is always a surprise to
the visitor from the Pacific, who. is
familiar only with the small native
oysters out there. It is also a
source of amusement to European
visitors, who have nothing like it.
It is related of William M. Thaek
ery, the famous English author,
that on his first and only visit to
America he . was served with oy
sters on the half shell and didn't
know what to do with them. He
asked his host how to eat them and
was told that they should be swal
lowed whole.
"I feel as if I had swallowed a
live baby," he said, after he had
gulped the first one down.
Some kind-hearted ladies are try
ing to get oyster dealers to use
anesthetics before opening the oy
sters so as not to give the oyster
pain. That, it seems to me, is car
rying sentimentality a little beyond
the bounds of common sense.
Bruce Barton
writes of
"The. Master Executive"
Supplying a week-to-week inspiration
for the heavy-burdened who will find
every human trial paralleled in the ex
periences of "tfhe Man Nobody Snows"
A Leader of Men
In any crowd and under any cir
cumstances the leader stands out.
By the power of his faith in him
self he commands, and men instinc
tively obey.
This blazing conviction was the
first and greatest element in the
success of Jesus. The second was
his wonderful power to pick men,
and to recognize hidden capacities
in them. It must have amazed Nic
demus when he learned' the names
of the twelve whom the young tea
cher had chosen to be his associ
ates. What a list! Not a single well
known person on it. Nobody who
had ever made a success of any
thing. A haphazard collection of
fishermen and smalltown business
men and one tax collector a mem
ber of the most hated element in
the community. What a crowd!
Nowhere is there such a startling
example of executive success as the
way in which the organization was
brought together. Take the tax col
lector, Matthew, as the most strik
ing instance. His occupation car
ried a heavy weight of social ostra
cism, but is was profitable . He was
probably well-to-do according to the

simple standards of the neighbor
hood; certainly he was a busy man
and not subject to impulsive action.
His addition to the group of disci
ples is told in a single sentence:
"And as Jesus paxwl by, he call
ed Matthew."
Amazing. No argument; no plead
ing. A smaller leader would have
been compelled to set up the advan
tages of the opportunity. "Of course
you are doing well where you are
and making money," he might have
said. "I can't offer you as much as
you are getting; in fact you may
have some difficulty in making ends
meet. But! think we are going to
have an interesting time and shall
probably accomplish a big work."
Such a conversation would have
been met with Matthew's reply that
he would "have to think it over,"
and the world would never have
heard his name.
Jesus had the born leader's gift
for seeing powers in men of which
they themselves were often almost
unconscious. One day as he was
coming into a certain town a tre
mendous crowd pressed around
him. There was a rich man named
Zacchaeus in town; small in stature,
but with such keen business ability
that he had got himself generally
disliked. Being curious to see the
distinguished visitor he had climb
ed up into a tree. Imagine his
surprise when Jesus stopped under
the tree and commanded him to
come down saying, "To-day I intend
to eat at your house."
The crowd was stunned. Some
of the bolder spirits took it upon
themselves to tell Jesus of his so
cial blunder. He couldn't afford
to make the mistake of visiting
Zacchaeus, they said. Their pro
tests were without avail. They saw
in Zacchaeus merely a dishonest
Jew; Jesus saw in him a man of
unusual generosity and a fine sense
of justice, who needed only to have
those qualities revealed by some
one who understood.
So with Matthew the crowd saw
only a despised tax-gatherer. Jesus
saw the potential writer of a book
which will live forever.

COOL CREAM FOR
BETTER BUTTER
Bulletin Shows Refrigeration Pay
Even With Prices Excep
tionally Low.
"I Just can't afford to make any
Improvements in these times," is
the statement frequently heard
from dairymen and others since
low prices have made cash scarce.
While this is doubtless tragically
true in many cases, IF a dairyman
can get cash or credit for certain
improvements he can make a far
higher percentage return on the in
vestment at low prices than at high.
Such at least is the conclusion
drawn from figures contained in a
recent bulletin on "Cream Refriger
ation and Quality Butter," just pub
lished by the Oregon Experiment
station and giving the results of
practical tests of butter making
from refrigerated cream from three
farms over a period of one year.
Reporting on the economic im
portance to Oregon of quality but
ter, the authors, F. E. Price, C. J.
Hurd and G. H. Wilster, give the
following comparative figures:
"The difference between the
wholesale price of butter of 92 score
and 90 score at the present time
(Early June, 1932) is only 1.5 to 2
cents per pound. This is equiva
lent to from 1.86c to 2.48c per pound
of butterfat On a percentage ba
sis, it will be found that when the
price of 90-score butter is 16c and
that of 92-score butter 17.5 c to 18c,
the 92-acore butter sells at a price
