0E of the beneficial by-products of this business depression
should be a widespread back-to-the-land movement.
True, farm products are low, and high profits from any farm
property are out of the question.
But for that very reason, farm PRICES are low, lower than
they have been in many decades.
As a result good farms can be purchased at rock bottom
prices and on the easiest terms. A farm thus secured has many
advantages over most any other form of purchase or investment.
WITH proper care a farm does not wear out, it is not useless
about the time the final payment comes due. A new
farm does not have to be purchased to replace the old farm
every few years. With proper care and attention the
INTRINSIC worth of a farm increases steadily in value.
Moreover a farm can't be wiped out by a stock market crash,
or a promotion gamble, or crookedness in high places as is
true of so many investment. It can't be stolen, or destroyed
by fire. Even the government might fall, and still that farm,
and its ability to support and provide shelter for human life,
WOULD REMAIN.
In other words, the ownership of a productive farm, at the
present time, represents the HIGHEST FORM OF SECURITY,
THAT CAN BE ATTAINED and as unemployment increases,
and stocks and bonds continue to crumble, more and more
people are coming to realize this fact.
THERE is another point. The average farm assures a "living
wage" sustenance for a man, liis wife and family, and
as bread lines increase, mere sustenance is for many a consum
mation devoutly to be wished.
The work, the simple out-door life on a farm, do not insure
perfect health of course, but they do encourage it; and health
added to security, form the two most vital factors in the happi
ness and contentment of life.
UNLESS we are greatly mistaken the back-to-the-land move
ment in this country has already started. at any rate
i inquirie8 rcgarding farm lands
in greater number today than for many years past and tue
logic of the situation points to the movement increasing steadily
in volume.
Thus one may say with truth, that depressions may come and
depressions may go but the beneficent law of compensation
GOES ON FOREVER I
Why Can 't the Truth Be Told?
GEORGE Putnam the New York not the Salem George is
going, to publish a true photographic history of the World
War, entitled "The horror of it."
Higher-ups in the war department do not favor such action
They maintain such pictures showing the horrors of war would
destroy the pleasant memories of gold star mothers and in case
of future hostilities would retard recruiting.
. Says General Carr of the army signal corps:
"Only thoee photographa which allow the pleasant featuree
of war oan be roleased."
We agree with Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick that this admis
sion is tha strongost argument against, war ever presented.
WHEN high army officers who know what war is, admit the
truth about it CAN'T BE TOLD, the rank and file who
must do the fighting are goiug to ask WHY.
And when they secure the answer to that question, they are
going to have the answer to tho question, why those who know
the most about the World war, from actual participation in it,
are most strongly opposed to having another one.
A S WE have always maintained, professional pacifists are
never going to end war. Too much of a stii?;na is attached
to that term, tho suspicion is too deeply grounded, that the
"pacifist" is merely a polito eupheuisni, for the thin-blooded
idealist who is "too proud to fight."
Wars will only end when those who fought in them, and
know what war really means, join in the fight against all war,
as a bnrbarous madness, which is not only morally, but economi
cally, out of date.
In his admission that from the standpoint of the professional
soldier the "truth about war can't be told" General Carr has
unconsciously opened the way to an anti-war campaign, along
these very lines.
The publication of "The horror of it" may well mark the
beginning of the end, as far as wars on a large scale are con-corned.

borrowed from us SINCE THE WAR.
You know that this country has
forgiven all sums lent to Franc dur
ing the war. Wa wiped that out, and
requested only repayment of debt

war ended.
President Hoover made a public
statement to that effect and was sur
prised that it was never published In
any newspaper In France, except a
couple of unimportant Paris papers
published In the English language.
Having taken from Germany ao
much valuable property, Alsace and
Lorraine, cash, colonies, etc., France
naturally feel a little anxious about
her military position, with Germany
and Russia on the east growing ao
powerful.
It la natural that France should
prefer building up military allies In
Europe to repaying money borrowed
from us, but why should Uncle Sam
be called "Uncle Shylock" by those
that took his money and don't in
tend to pay? That seems an unnec

REDUCING THE EXPENSE OF DIABETES
Poor chap, say Dr. Don H. Duffle,
author of a "Book for Us Diabetica,"
the diabetic patient surely needs a
lift nowadays If he
1 still treating his
diabetes a an ex
pensive disease.
I have quoted
practical points
from this excel
lent little hand
book many times.
In the preface to
the fourth edition,
Dr. Duffle frankly
admits that Dr.
William Brady,
health colmn conductor, la "repre
hensible" for the book having been
written. J, am proud of it, too.
Is Duffle a Scotch name, I dunno.
Anyway, Dr. Duffle teaches the dia
betes patient all kinds of good sound
economy, in this book, Even In the
dally sugar test he shows the pa
tient how to save a good two-thirds
of the expense of the solution used
t- make the test.
In this fourth edlticn the distin
guished author who is still a coun
tr.' doctor practicing In Central Lake,
Michigan suggests how to grow your
own greena for salad, in your own
cellar, In the winter, from chicory
sprouts. And not content with that,
he tells you how to manufacture your
own lemon Juice for mayonnaise or
French dressing. For those who can
not get lemons, he says, citric acid
may be bought from wholesale drug
houses for less than a dollar a pound.
Lrnon Juice ranges In strength from
six to nine per cent citric acid. Con
sequently an ounce ot citric acid dis
solved In 14 ounces oi water makes
the equivalent of lemon Juice, nearly
aa much of It a- can be coaxed from
a dozen lemons, at a cost of seven
cents. Tomatoes, either fresh or tin
can. contain plenty of the only vita
min of importance In real lemon
Juice, and all wise diabetes patients
are using lenty of tomato every
day. If the diabetes patient Is using
as much salad dressing as he should.
Dr. Duffle observes, the economy of
this equivalent for lemon Juice will
be appreciated. But the Duffle con
science 1 still uneasy, and he adds
that it Is well to make up less than
that quantity of lemon Juice equiv
to the Indiana, Imagine that oil j
worth hundreds of millions was hid-
den under those barren lands?
- .
Did the white man's statesman and
the Osage chief travel together on
the mysterloust Journey that we all
take when life ends? Did one go to
one heaven, the other to another
heaven? la one an Indian and the
other a white man in the future life?
Or are both totally unlike Indians
and white men?
That w,hlch our heroic "devil dog"
marines and all the power of our
government could not do, appears to
have been done by a creature so
small you could not see It with the
naked eye.
Sandlno, leader of Nicaragua' In
surgent band, Is laid up with a vio
lent attack of malaria, under a doc
tor's care, unable to ride or shoot.
And he la not the first victim of the
tiny germs that nanophe.es mosqui
to implant In your blood.
Some historians believe that mala
ria, distributed by mosqultos from
the marshes around Rome, wiped out
Roman power of resistance, making
It easy for a .barbarian from the
norti. In furs, to alt on the throne
of the Caesars.
Seen under a powerful microscope
in the Rockefeller Institute,, the ma
laria germ look like a finger ring
with a purple stone set In It.
Mtqulnlne, one of the few abso
lute specifics known to medicine,
conquers malaria, but, for a long
time Protestant Britain would not
permit the use of quinine because It
had been discover?d by Catholics In
South America and named for a
Catholic saint.
Such la the power of religious
prejudice.
The "Red Star' w.hlch represent
Russia's opinion, predicts a war soon
between this country and Japan. It
Is to "grow out" of the Manchunan
troubles between Japan and China.
Russia knows aa little about this
country aa we do about Russia, and
talks about this country as philoso
phically aa we do of Russia, which is
saying a great deal.
Russla'a prediction of war for us
la encouraging, because It is sure to
be unfounded.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Buxom Is the Good News.
I thought you would be Interested
in the clipping Inclosed. It seems In

Answer Thank you. I am. The
clipping is evidently a newa Item
telling of a girl in Europe who won
the beauty championship of her coun
try. She is buxom. Speaking both
as a health authority and a a mem
ber of a well known sex, I may say
that's the way I like 'em. We have
had about nil we can stand of these
lipodystrophy horrors.
Leech.
Ha medical science tried a leech
for dropsical swelling in the legs?
Hot baths at the Springs clear It up.
Why not try the horse leech? B. A.
Answer Not medical science. Med
ical an ha? probably treated such
swellings with leeches many times.
A leech draws blood, and 1 more suit

Amateur Urinalysis.
I have Just had my urine examined
and it la reported O. K. except a

of such things to your physician. The

How About .Morals?
To the Editor:
Your Interesting editorial on sex
appearing last week, in which you
cry out for enlightenment Is. It Is
believed, more of a gesture for the
expression of opinion from your
renders than a confession of a lim
ited understanding of this momen
tous social force. With this Idea In
mind. It is really hard to let the
opportunity slip by to get In the
allotted 300 words on the subject
that makes such good copy.
Is there as much moral laxity aa
appearances would Indicate? Are ap
pearances the reverse of the real, as
they so often are in social phe
nomena? As the editor has pointed
out, there la much difference of
opinion on the question. "We really
do not know what restraint was
practiced. say, 35 years ago, and
except for personal observation, which
is very unreliable, due to emotional
states, we do not know how things
stand today." So defenders of mod
ern youth argue. But there are
other factors that should not be
overlooked In making up opinion,
Correct opinion is of incalculable
value since it leads to dynamic
action, which in turn result in
progress, which In turn result in
social well-being happiness the
end for which we all atrtve. but so
few attain.
One factor Is the law of eco
nomic determinism. This law holds
that the changes in economic con
ditions modifies the superstructure
built up on them. Our moral in
stitutions are a part of such super
structure. So. the quest narrows
down to this: Have economic con
ditions changed much In the past
33 years? The answer must be yes.
Therefore, a morality conditioned
on a super-racket on verge of col
lapse must differ greatly from that
conditioned on a system in a period
when it is in Its prime. And this
difference Is In the direction of ex
pression of the "refining foce"
certainly not in the direction f It
suppression. There are 'many more
factors supporting this view. more
Interesting too but the 300-word
limit Is reached, so curtain!

Gus to Be Exposed.
To the Editor:
In these day of depression un-
"balanced budgets, gangsterism and
general unravelling of the moral and
financial ties, would It not be well
to give a thought to the more erudite
side of life?
For years, as a teacher In this coun
ty, it was my privilege to lead the
faltering feet of the young in the
pathway of knowledge. One of my
fondest realizations, as I look back to
those long bygone days, Is the fact
that with few exceptions my effort
were not in vain.
There was, and there still is, how
ever, one pupil upon whom neither
my tecahinga or ( corporeal punish

Despite the fact that he managed
ot pas stbe bar examination and has
attained a modicum of repute as an
attorney, he Is still a untutored in
the finer phases of spelling ss the
day he stepped forth from my little
schoolhouse to perpetrate his dubious
talents upon an unsuspecting world.
From time to time he has had the
Intestinal fortitude to challenge me
to a spelling match, trusting to the
aid of his cohorts to humble me be
fore the world. Such a challenge he
has flung again. The time Is to be
Thursday night, and the Elks' temple
the place.
It is my firm Intention at that time
to so expose this upstart In the gentle
art of orthography as to leave no
doubt, once and for all. that he has
no foundation upon which to base
any assumption of honor or ability
as a speller.
I dlsliek to thus publicly call for
witnesses to his confusion, but Mr.
Newbury ha asked for it and he
will get It. O tempora, O mores, O
OUS. O Heck I COURT HALL.

Red Blanket Camp
In the Spring of 1931
Copco's work had Just begun.
The camp-boss got busy looking
around
And found a spot for a family
camp-ground.
Women got settled and men got work.
Worked right along but some got
hurt.
Others got lazy or of work got tired.
Boss came along and says: "You're
fired."
The faithful old men work most of
the time
From installing machinery to build
ing fence line.
The Qnpco Is fencing the ditch In here
To protect all animals but mainly
the deer.
The work Includes building power
house and dam.
Besides falling timber and clearing
land.
Now, back I go to the family camp,
not telling you all
For you'd die with a cramp.
Before telling the bad, I'll mention
the good:
Free house rent and plenty of wood.
Vegetables and bread brought to your
door;
Also meat and fresh milk, which
means a lot more.
The mail Is delivered each day of the
week
No matter It raining or snow Is knee
deep.
The school-bus horn blows loud each
day
Calling the children who live far
away.
O, I nearly forgot to mention In here
The mountain cold water 1 piped
right near.
Copco wired the cabins so people
could see.
So winter has passed a cozy aa
could be.
Some gossip from early till late at
night.
Even to radios tuned down right.
The trouble makers find the least
little things.
Just to hear their tongues rattle
and voices ring.
Now, this little spot where the fam
ilies dweU
Has made the poor camp boss go
thru hell.
This ends my story of '33, for Copco's
work is nearly thru.

NEEDED A FRIEND
By Alice Jndson Peale.
A 16-year-old boy was brought to
the hospital aa a case of attempted
suicide. He had sought to kill him
self with gas, but was found before
hli purpose had been accomplished.
On the kitchen table he had left a
letter:
"Dear Father and Mother: I
cannot go on living. I am glad
that nobody, nobody at all, will ,
mlbs me. That Is what makes
It easier for me to do this thing.
"The1 whole world laughs at
me and hates me. Always I have
wanted to have friends and to 1
loved and happy as others
But I have no one. Good by-
t5-e. '
That suoh a letter could have been
written only by a psychopatic per
sonality does not remove it from
consideration by the parents of ordi
nary children. Many apparently quite
normal children go through periods
of profound depression during the
difficult years of adolescence.
That many more children are se
cretly most unhappy during this time
and that their entire later adjust
ment is marred by tht unsolved dif
ficulties of this period, all who have
worked much with children of thia
age will bear witness.
What such unhappy children need
more thsn anything, is a friend
someone who will understand them
and establish the contact which foe
some reason or other their parents
have failed to do.
A really melancholy adolescent
shjuld be taken to a psychiatrist who
will himself prove to be the friend
he needs and who will show him the
way out of his difficulties through
the development of wholesome Inter
esta and associations.
Adolescence offers ti. the paren
the last opportunity to correct th
mistakes of earlier training. If the
child is not now helped to becom
a healthy personality, he will un
doubtedly carry his emotional diffi
culties through the rest of his life.
