That 1 Bon Brown, who iwks, "Should we work or not?" I must admit It la quite a study. The "New Dealers" have tried to create a depression or ahortngo In commodities, thereby to taring bnck to mouey-mUided people something to conquer. We have tried for centuries to become lea like elavee and produce with the .east effort. When we reached that goal very soon there wna a mental deprenslon. Now, If one Is a New Dealer and a farmer, I think the highest tribute you could pny your president would be to butcher nil your cattle, sow your land to Milt, get on the relief and consume all you can. If you don't believe In success by such methods, do Jurt the opposite so that you mny have some of the real things of Hie to help others when the de pression hewlns In reality. As to Mr. Harr and hi Townsend old age Uleaa: Reminds me of a cow boy who climb bronc and yells; "Can't slay long, but let her buck.' He admit the Townxend olan la a poor scientific principle but wants to i put it through to show the "Mis-j sourluns" how ignorant they are. Now I have no faith In the T. O. P. and I think that It will never go through unless a a Inst hope of our i present "frtup" But we as a body of people surely don't need to put our foot In the fire to see If It will burn, the same a it does our hsndt- I woulc like to hear from this Mr. Harr as to where he expect to arrive by such activities.
