ELKHORN, Wis., Aug. 11.
Another brief motor trip to
southern Wisconsin and lunch
eon with some friends who
have been forced, by the de-
pression, to become "dirt far
mers."
What a meal and what sweet
corn! (Here is one product by
the way in which the Midwest
is supreme, and this tribute is
from an ardent Pacific Coaster
who raises his own.)
Even more interesting than
the meal was the talk and we
believe the latter will be inter
esting to our readers. At any
rate we are going to condense
it in the shape of an interview
with the host, as follows:
"I bought this farm over 25
years aeo and as you know
have used it as a country place
Had a farmer and his family
on it, all the time, operated on
shares, never paid expenses,
usually wag in the Ted, but I
could afford it. Then CAME
THE DAWN! But I won't go
into thut. I am 'tired of this
calamity talk and imagine you
are. Suffice to say the factory
shut down, I not only lost my
shirt but my plus fours and my
job, so we took our children
out of school, closed the Chi
cago house, and moved bag and
baggage tip here. Hated to turn
dut Carl (that's the farmer)
and his wife, but it had to be
done. Didn't open our big
bouse here, just moved into his.
Here we have been ever since,
and believe it or not, we not
only like it, we are making
money.
"Just a minute .before you
call me a liar. I keep books
and can supply the evidence. I
have been here nearly three
years and have made money
EVERY YEAR. Susan has
helped (his wife), so have the
children, even Skippy, the
baby, has had bis chores to do.
But we have had outside help',
too, a big orew during the
harvest. a man to milk the
cows and wash the dishes all
the time (we all hate dish
washing for some reason) and
of course we have electrio ice
boxes, washing machines and
thnt sort of thing. Nor do I
mean I am making money as I
used to make money, but I DO
MEAN, I am not only making
a good living for myself and
fsmily, but a little over have
money in the bank at the end
of the year, and look at me,
the misses and the kids, never
so full of health and ateam. I
even play golf now and then
over the week end, but I find
handling a pitchfork has ruined
my wrist aotion and flexibility.
"One thing I can give you
straight. For ten years I lis
tened to the farmer on this
place ouss and moan about the
farmer's lot and all that sort
of thing, trying to explain
why this farm was a luxury
instead of a paying proposition,
and maintaining us slick city
fellers had all the beat of it.
Alibi, alibi, alibi 1
"NEVER AGAIN! If I ever
leave here and go back to my
desk at the pump factory
AND I HOPE I CAN, SOME
DAY the next farmer that
tries to spring that wheei on
me is going to get something
he won't be looking for, and in
a place he least expeots to, I
am going to show him there is
ona slick eity feller who has
been a farmer himself, and ean
hit out from tha shoulder, not
only with his raw, but with
facts and figures.

"The lucky city feller, eh J:
LOOK AT MY PUMP. FAC
TORY! Not a wheel turning.'
You couldn't sell a pump if you
put a five dollar bill in every;
valve cup.
"But you CAN sell bogs;!
you CAN sell corn and wheat
you CAN' sell butterfat and
fryers, every day in the year
and for cash money. The mar
ket, I tell you, never fails.
Prices may be low, but farm
upkeep is low if you run it
yourself, and remember this,
there is ALWAYS a cash buy
er. I "don't pretend to be--a
natural born farmer, but
think I am a fairly good busi
ness man, and I claim that is
all any decent farm needs.
I admit it can't be done
without working and being on
the job perhaps I couldn't
have done it if Iliad had a big
mortgage to meet but under
any normal conditons it CAN
be done, and I have my figures
to prove it. Furthermore, I
will make this declaration, and
challenge any one to dispute it,
the farmer in this section to
day, with good land who knows
his job, is better off, FINAN
CIALLY, in every way than
any other business or profes
sional man in the country!
'Put that in your pipe and
smoke it!"
We did. We have been
smoking" icver it ever aince,
and while there must be a
catch in it SOMEWHERE, we
don't know just where it is.
No doubt we shall have to wait,
until w talk to Charley Hoov
er about it he is the-master
mind in fmding flies in the
agricultural ointment. In fact,
nothing we would like better,
than to take this "gentleman
farmer" home with us and lock
hira in a room with Signor Poa
Bulbosa. We wouldn't wager
more than a six months snb
scription on Charloy coming
out first !
Hope our former pump mag
nate friend IS right. For if he
is, thon American agriculture is
fundamentally sound; whioh
means the country is funda
mentally sound, which also
means, the pump business will
immediately start to "come

Truth About U. 8. Army Air Corns.
To the Editor:
In an article by Arthur Brisbane,
which appeared In the Mall Tribune
some weeks ago, ha made the state
ment that America's airplanes were
poor and defective and that there
were none having a speed of over 00
miles an hour. I!e gave aa his au
thority for this statement a letter
from General Mitchell. Knowlnjt this
statement to be Incorrect, I wrote to
Washington, asking for the number
of plsnee available at the present
time, and any Information concornr
Ing our country's air forces thst could
be obtslned.
I give ae authority for the Infor.
matlon herein contained, a letter from
the adjutant general, Mitjor-Cleneral
O. H. Bridges. In which he enclosed
a statement from Asslitsnt Secretary
of War P. Trubee Davidson. Here
are the facte:
America's air corps has at the nree-
ent time 1.47S serviceable plsnee. The
purault plsnee, whjeh are the fight
ers, have a speed of well over arm
mllee an hour: observation and at
tack planes hsve a speed of S00 miles
an hour, while bombing planes, the
slsweet of all, ee they have to carry
4,000 pounds of bombs end hesvy

HEARST RANCH, San Sim

Madison, of Seattle, champion
woman swimmer of the world
is at present, four p. ,m., swim
ming and diving in the pool on
this ranch. She flew up from
Los Angeles, this morning, with
Royal Brougham of the Seattle
Post Intelligencer, and tall,
young Mr. Schwegler saw the
pool and said "I want to
swim." .
The London omnibus driver,
spent his one holiday in the
year, ridjng over his own route,
beside another bus driver, en
joying the fact that h,e was not
driving. Helene Madison en
joys the fact that she is swim
ming, but not racing. In train
ing, she is not allowed t dive,
for that stiffens'the ankles that
must be absolutely loose and
relaxed, for the crawl stroke.
You would travel a long way
to see that girl champion swim
fifty yards at top speed, or
dive "swan" fashion, and rise
with half her body out of
water.
Mr. Schwegler, young Seattle giant,
feet 4, 310 pounds, swam against
Miss Madison, and did not, win, al
though he had two seconds start In
so yards, and she seemed not anxious
to best him.
It would -have delighted any eu-
genlat to see that young couple. Her
last race of the Olymplce did not
seem to satisfy Miss Madison.
"I could not seem to get going, In
the 400 meters," said she. However,
she got going weU enough to win the
race'egalnst the best women swim
mers of the world, and set' a new
world record.

p a r a 1 y sis, you
hsve the satisfac
tion of knowing
at any rate that
you have done
the best thing
for the oh I Id,
that Is. if you
follow my advice
about the man
agement of all
a u c h Ulnesses
and aend the child to bed fr 34 hours
at the very first sign of the crl. . It
la an excellent rule to confine the
patient to bed for 10 days In any
case of poliomyelitis, no matter
whether there is much or Uttle pa-
ralysla or paresis evident at the end
of the first week. Incidentally, the
paralysis or psresls (weskenlng) of
the affected muscles gener&lly does
not appear until from 34 to 4S 'hours
after the onset of the Illness, and In
some cases the paresis Is eo slight
as to escape notice, or lasts only a
few days snd then clears up entirely
snd the patient makes a complete
recovery within two weeks.
REST Is the sovereign remedy
wherever there la even a suspicion
of suoh paralysis or paresis. Not
only rest In bed for the patient, but
physiological rest for the affected
muscle group, so far ae this la at
tainable. If a limb Is Involved, a
suitable padded splint which will
support the limb In a comfortsble
position of half-flexion,, will give the
best REST.
Only after the acute feverish atage
Is over (it lasts less than 10 days) Is
there Justification for any kind of
exercise, massage, manipulation, pas
sive movements, electric treatment or
other measure directed toward res
toration of function to the para
lysed muscles.
Exercise is a good thing 'to pre
serve the health. Well oik should
have exercise dally. Invalids had bet
ter have a care how they Indulge in
exercise. Even a Uttle bit of exer
cise at the wrong time or under the
wrong circumstances may do Irre
parable harm, and this Is particu
larly true of the management of the
paralysis or paresis thst remains after
an attack of poliomyelitis.
When the time cornea for carefully
performed exercise, pssslve or active,
then by all mean give the patient
the benefit of the special skill and
Republicans, because Republican vic
tory "will safeguard some of the gains
made under the 18th amendment."
Let us hope It will not safeguard
the gains In bootlegging, racketeering,
gangster crime ' and drunkenness

America's Future Railroad,
To the Editor:
In your paper of Tuesday, August
S, 1932, you published an article about
the German-Rall-Zeppelln, a mono
rail, gyroscopic balanced construction
of a speed of more than 175 miles
per hour.
Of course the German, Idolizing
their Zeppellne, wUl construct, to
keep their railroad up to date, a com
bination of the Zeppellne airship and
the present railroad system. We. as
Americana Idolizing our airplanes and
automobiles, also see the new era In
railroading dawning, and we con
struct not only the most up to date,
but also the best possible system.
We are going to aurpass the speed
of airplanea and have our minimum
speed at 200 miles per hour, We em
body a safety Into the construction
to be- trusted by the faintest pf
hearts, combined with a comfort un
surpassed. A cost of construction and
operation low enough to enable the
present railroad company to change
to thla system, and a fare reduced
yet bringing increased returns to the
stockholders of the rosd. Busses and
trucks will be. as the railroads of
the present system are now, without
fares and freight and the hlghwiyr
will revert to the uses of the private
driver, hence taxes for highway up
keep will be reduced to the mini
mum.-
The triple A. double R, will not
have a track laid on ties on the
ground. Nevertheless, It will not be
trackless, nor Is It that Impractical
Idea, a monorail or overhead con
struction.
The main wheels will be of a new
type, the proverbial wheel goes and a
wheel without a center axle takea Its
place, saving from 23 to 40 per cent
of power.
The weight of car, passengers and
freight is no longer a dead weight to
be laboriously hsuled from place to
place, but win come to Ufa and help
transport Itself to It destination.
The driving power of the car merely
cheers on the weight to do it duty.

future for tbe railroad, company,
which companies are the main ar

railroad, but with an operating cost
of 85 per cent, together with taxes,
cost of repslrs and improvements,
there 1 no 63A per cent left for Mr,
Stockholder, and he is left without
his dividends, hence the plight of the
railroads. Nor 1 there hope for the

this new type of railroad in south

advantage everyone.
Do you question the possibility of
