Everybody In the land now has $18.68 more in their pocket than last year, according to of ficial statistics. It'i nice to know this, even if one can't find the pocket. A hopeful eastern group has started studying plans and fund amentals for the future peace of Europe, and the world. There should be a lunacy com mission, to take- care of gents with notions they are Napol eons, as of today. An exchange mentions it is surprising how little voters know about the party platforms This same deficit can be noted in most of the candidates, on close scrutiny. Many of the 1941 autos have no running Wpards. This reduces the "wind friction" and leaves the driver no place to sit down and hold his head, after hitting the phone pole. This is Friday, the 13th. The candidate who walks under a voter will have his bad luck. Tuesday the 5th, (Nov.). a o a THE BRUTE WAS WRONG! (Press Dispatch) "I'm going hop-picking, same as I should have done if my old man hadn't said Kent wasn't safe." She look ed behind her at a section pocked with craters, marked by scores of houses shattered by bombs. "Safe!" she said, "Don't make me larf." ... "A negro went to sleep on the railroad track. The train came along." (Orford, Ms., News). Short, short story. ... Every day the word Is passed by all the leading means of communication, G.O.P. Nominee Willkie "is talking too much."

Scientists are planning con structing a lens that will enable them to see a light during an eclipse they can't see now. Just to save time, and lens building.! let's admit the light Is there, and take the word of science. SHEEP "Ten thousand while ones and 60 black ones! Go 'round "em Shep!" This command was supposed to have been given to a certain sheep dog in Mon tana, and presumably he there upon rounded up the sheep and counted them. But the poor dog's dead now; brain fever, no doubt. It is strange that when anyone tells a talc of some extraordinary animal, be it dog. horse or cat, he usually adds as an afterthought, "He's dead now, poor fellow." In fact, someone with time to spare ought to make a study of the high mortality rate among canine and other animal wonders; and after satisfying himself on that point he might turn to a closely allied topic the regrettable longevity of cheerful liars.

Boyd Cubbage and his wife, who planned the party for 18 young people. It was a dusk to dawn obervance of the longest day of the year. Summer days are long and nights are short In Alaska. The party only lasted from 11 p. m. to 2 a. n. It H4l jt'bui as. "Bill" Answers Roosevelt THE best known and most newspaper editor in the United States is Wm. Al len White of Emporia, Kansas. ' He is a life-long Republican but not a partisan ; one. He probably numbers among his intimate j friends, as many Democrats as Republicans, -among the former being Secretary of Agriculture Wallace , and the President of the United States. Yet when President Roosevelt, master political strategist, outlined the present campaign, he placed as one of the most desirable objectives, the business of convincing the people of this country, or as many as possible, that the Democratic party this year, has a COMfLLlb monopoly oi true patriotism in the United States! DLINDLY obeying, as usual, "his master's voice" " the devout and subservient Secretary of Agri culture, therefore made the keynote of his initial cam paign speech a direct charge, that the Republican party under the leadership of Wendell Willkie is the party of Hitler appeasement; and the Democratic party the party of Hitler opposition; that a vote for the former would be a vote for Der Fuehrer, and for the latter a vote for the allies! Once convince the people this was the TRUTH, and NOT a malicious, vicious and shameful campaign LIE, and the rest would be easy, of course. With the American people about 99 against the Rome-Berlin axis, a third term for F. with a pink ribbon tied around it. WHEN this astonishing statement was made, this department wondered what Bill White would think about it. For Editor White happens to be the originator and chairman of the national committee formed to aid the allies, a committee that has al ready shipped thousands of rifles, guns, airplanes, shells, etc., etc., to aid Great Britain, and has been heartily cursed out therefor by the German Bunds, the Reds and professional Pacifists ! How would Bill, like to be classified as a Hitler appeaser and pro-German propogandist, because he happened to favor a ONE kie, instead or TiiKtti DELANO ROOSEVELT! 1X7ELL in this week's issue of the "Emporia Ga- zette" appeara Bill's answer, and it is charac teristic. Characteristic, because if "W. A. W." ever has lost his temper or his inimitable sense of humor, on his editorial page, we never have happened to see it. This, in fact, is one of his most extraordinary traits, there is no more effective editorial writer in the country, (so much so that experts have compiled them in books as recognized classics), yet Bill White has never, to our knowledge, lost his poise, or rhetor ically speaking become red in the face, or even SLIGHTLY apoplectic. Well, anyway here is his reply to his "great and good friend" Henry Wallace! We quote: THF ANMVKR IS -M l a."

Mr. Willkie has been even stronger than the President In declaring that ths defeat of Oreat Britain would be a calamity to the United States. Mr. Willkie also la temperamentally an unappeaser. Make him mad and he fights and he la msd about the way the Nar.ta have mussed up the world.

As a resul t I had less fre quent and less sevre attacks, and also enjoy ed absolute im munity to cri during., that time. But here is the mysterious part of my ex perience. Four months ago I took several hundred grains of sulfanilamide to help combat a throat infection, and since then I have had nary an attack of headache, nor have I taken the calcium since, at my physician's suggestion. Could it be possible that the sulfanilamide aroused some lazy gland, inactivity of which was responsible for my sick head laches? My doctor is unable to , . . M tion of the headaches, but says the sulfanilamide can hardly be credited. (Mrs. A. A.) Your doctor shows admirable restraint, for sulfanilamide Is be ing credited with helping in the cure of almost everything from streptococcosis to the pip. No sooner said than I find myseil blushing fur.iously as I recall the imposing list of complaints for which I recommend calcium Oh, well, we doctors are human and sometimes our enthusiasm gets out of control.

It is difficult to at tribute this spontaneous cessa tion of migraine to the meno pause (change of life) unless you maintain that the men who suf fer from migraine aren't.

Certainty It is not an anti septic or germicide in the ordi nary sense of the words. What the extent of the damage to the blood or destruction of blood corpuscles may be when a little too much sulfanilamide is given in any case, everybody seems to ignore when reporting on the effects of administration of the drug in various conditions. The miracle men who gave sulfanilamide to the profession merely suggested that it is bac teriostatic that is, it inhibits or slows or diminishes the growth of germs, especially the notori ous streptococcus, without de struction.

Is there any harm In using milk as old as that. If It stays sweet? (B. R.) Answer Bacterial growth may con tinue even though the refrigeration delays actual souring. Naturally soured milk would be safer. I believe Souring, from conversion of mtlk sugar (lactose) into lactic acid by the growth of lactic bacilli, tenda to make the milk less fsvorabla for growth of any disease germs that may be ifi it. Better get fresh milk at least three days a week. (Protected by John P. Dllle Co.) Ed. Note: Persons wishing lo communicate with Or. Brady should send letter direct to llr. Milliard Bradv, M.

So does everybody else. Manpower'! job in war is to fight. Industry's Job is to sup ply the weapons to do the fight ing with. Manpower without weapons is helpless. Weapons without trained men to use them are useless. Both are necessary if we are to fight and win. IF war comes and you volun- teer, you won't be drafted. If you don't volunteer, you will be drafted. It will be the same with in dustry. If it doesn't volunteer for war service it will be draft ed without the slightest hesita tion. That will be true, no matter who is elected in November. Public opinion is in no mood to be trifled with on that point. (Industry, as a matter of fact, is already drafted. Taxation takes care of that). IN his Washington speech, the president pledges that his labor and social program will expand rather than retreat in building national defense. By that, presumably, he means that hours will be progressively shortened and wages progres sively increased. With all due deference to the president of the United States it must be said here that neither Franklin D. Roosevelt nor any body else can guarantee that social progress will go on un interruptedly in the event of war. Franet ,inrlfrlnnlr in An that (but lost her liberty. WAR Is utterly cruel, utterly " heartless, utterly reaction ary. It takes no note of social progress. It has no concern with wages or hurs. Battles don't stop when the whistle blows. War's sole objective is to win! If we are so unfortunate (or so unwise) as to get into war. we will either do whatever is necessary to win, making what ever sacrifices we have to make, or we will be defeated. If we are defeated, everything will be lost. As in France. DOOSEVELT S Wash ington speech is soothing like nearly everything he says. His promise is: "Just leave it all to me and everything will come out right." If the situation we are facing is as serious as we are told ft is, the time for soothing syrup is past and the time to face hard facts is here. If F.D.R. will soothe us less I and tell us more he will be do ing us a favor. Br Paul Dunham.

Whether Engand wins or loses, the evident purpose Is to regard Canada as an independent nstlon with whlcb It Is essentlsl that the United States should build up tha closest of eco nomic ties. Por tha present no move wtll be msde to losn money to the Canadian government, an act which would ba directly violative of tha existing neu trality law, but funds will be pro vided to tha extent of defense needs for tha establishing of branches of Industry north of tha border, a trend more or less In evidence for a number of years prior to the opening it hostUltles In Europe. It may be ex pected, too. in the event of Roose velt's re-election, that steps wtll be taken for removal of trade restric tions between tha two countries either by broadening the scope of reclprocsl treaties or the outright repeal of tariff barriers. Consummstlon of this plan may not be favorable for farmers and stockgrowers of the United States, but It Is deemed essentlsl to the success of a movement the ultimate purpose of which la to develop both the United States and Csnsda along lines of a unified North America divided In name only and presenting a single front to any possible over seaa - opposition.

C Spl.) "Battling Congressmen", on the floor of the U. S. House of Rep resentatives, while shocking us no end, yet hath precedent in history. For the most part, how ever, those old-time statesmen managed to conduct their brawls in somewhat more of the "grand manner" maintaining a bit more dignity than the present-day combatants, and would-be peace makers, who go rolling over the seats and onto the floor. The late Henry Rainey, when Speaker of the House, once told me of an incident when it was sufficient for the Sergeant at Arms to snatch up the black and silver "Mace" (that august symbol of authority which al ways rests in its standard at the right of the Speaker's plat form) and hold it over the heads of fist-fighting congressmen and demand "order" which he got in a hurry from the awestruck members. Likewise, such pol ished gentlemen as the famous Henry Clay and John Randolph gracefully transferred their quarrels to the dueling grounds just outside the Capital. ... ""ALLERY" dignity to a much more alarming ex tent seems to have flown to the four winds!

For instance, there are rules for bidding leaning arms or piling wraps or packages on the gal. lery railing, or reading, talking or eating while seated in the galleries. And, above all. demon strations, either applause or dis approval, or noise or disorder are strictly taboo.

Outside, some of them shout fa miliar, communist-line slogans in almost unintelligible English; and many of them are unkempt, in shirt sleeves, disheveled slacks or grotesque garb worn to attract attention. A number of those who actually get into the galleries are dressed in these queer get-ups; and they endeavor to interrupt speeches and parliamentary procedure on the floor with vociferous ap plause, hisses, catcalls and even attempted harangues. Of course, the worst offenders are taken out, and the presiding officers repeatedly threaten to clear the galleries of all tour ists and visitors, unless order is maintained. But each and ev ery one among them is some legislator's constituent or, at least, an alien who is rushing his naturalization and will soon have a vote so nothing really drastic is done about it.
