Another villain, con sisting of seven divisions of Nazis, await the end of her flight. She also Is at war with Britain, and the food supply is low. There is plenty of nothing left but hard luck, and her ' chances to exist as a nation are slim. Her epitaph is already written. The closing paragraph of a Washington dispatch reads: "Finland, only nation still paying World I debts to this country, still owes about $9, 000,000." A Montana cowboy rides a horse 17 miles to church every Sunday, a news item oddity reveals. There must be a good looking soprano in the choir. The present day bootlegger Is described as 'a higher type,' than the model of the 1020s. Even if he is nice, there is no tendency to call him a boot limber. VOICE III THE DARK (Salem Statesman) "Scientists foresee produc tion of new foods through the use of the rays. Well, we know some persons who claim they would be happy if the rays would just produce enough of some of the old ones say, bananas." Gooseberry pies are now on tap. In several cases, the bean ery chefs mix in rhubarb as an accessory before the fact. Try as they will, the skilled, trained, experienced, astute, high-powered and indefatigable Journalists of Washington, D.

"Mayer, B8, who hates to talk about himself' and who shud ders at mention of the fact that his last reported Income was better than $1,000,000 a year." (Press Dispatch) Enough to make one shimmy, shiver, and quiver, Ted Fish, a member of the spud dynasty of Tulo Lake, and a bro. of Flctch Fish, the boom day tenor and terror of Phoe nix, circulated locally the fore part of the week. .... Firecrackers will be scarce items the coming Fourth of July. Small boys with only one thumb to lay on the altar of their patriotism, won't have to do it. DEFINITELY ' (Canyon City News) 'The idea of salting the high range by plane i not a new one, locally, but stock men were skeptical. A block of salt weighs SO pounds and a fall of several hundred feet would break it into bits, they argued, unless It hit a critter, and if that happened there would be no critter." . A 16-year old boy and 37-year old widow were married up state, each with their finger nails painted green. In the se lection of a color, their Judg ment was excellent.

Mr. Willkie and the Negro Mr. Wendell Willkie is giving the Republican party some excellent advice. -Take this negro question, for example. That would seem to be a "natural" for the party of Lincoln and the Emancipation proclamation. The Republican party freed the negroes and guar thm pmml rights. Dolitical and otherwise. Why should not the party that waged and won the Civil War take the leadership now in the effort to give the negroes today, those rights that the party's founders tougnt ana aiea THERE would seem to nf it., tint on v from the .

Why shouldn't the u.u.r. ngnt ior justice for the colored man, and incidentally, get those votes or most of them, election? WELL maybe the party big chance in Chicago But we venture to say it the pro-negro bloc. Why? Well this is "why". IF the Republican party should be true to itself and go all-out in favor of justice and fair play, politi cnllv and otherwise for the colored man, the support the Republican minority now receives in the congress from the Southern Democrats and against Roose velt, would be conspicuous by its absence. There is a fairlv sizeable eroun of "White Suprem acy" Democrats from the South, who are playing ball with the Republicans now, and the G.O.P. powers- that-be appreciate that support and don't want to lose it. SO there will undoubtedly be a strong effort to retain this support by not forcing the negro issue and at the same time not lose the support of the negroes in the north who unlike their brothers to the south, still enjoy the privilege of the franchise. It will be the old time-honored "army game" of trying to have one's cake and also eat it which has never succeeded and never will but certain types of the genus homo politico never seem to get wise to the fact. However they may be beaten in Chicago. We hope for the sake of the Republican party and the country they are. We would not advise any members of "The False Friends Club", however, to wage more than a week's wages, on such a result. Southern Democrats Split A brief item in Tuesday's paper stated that the Democratic primary fight in Texas would be taken to that state's supreme court. Well there is a pretty kettle of fish I Those who think the only big war is going on in Europe, don't know what is going on within the Democratic party in the lone-star state, and some other states in the South, and has been going on for several months past. ( A BITTERLY anti-Roosevelt group recently secured through a Kilkenny party This group having a majority refused to place over 20 pro-Roosevelt electors on These electors are trying through legal action.

Malloo Washington, June IS The headlines announced the G. O. P. faces a battle to oust Span- gler as national chairman, but it will not be II JJI 1 1. J.IJ . warf are we are having In France. Apparently, friends of Mr. Span'gler have decided that, in recognition of his SFL har mony organi zation work at Mackinac and Paul Malloo elsewhere,- he defy the custom of re- should tiring at the end of his -term. Ordinarily, the newly elected presidential candidate at every convention selects the national chairman as his campaign man ager. It has been assumed, that Mr. Dewey will be the nominee, and will chose either Herbert Brownell, his manager In the New York state campaign, or Chairman Ed Jeackel, of the New York state committee. OPANGLER is supposed to have strong support, but the choice eventually probably will rest with Mr. Dewey, or who ever is the nominee. The na tional committee who will do the electing, report political leaders in the various states, many of whom are not personally in clined toward Dewey, are re servedly going along uninstruct ed as you might say, in view of the popular showing which has risen for him. The matter seems to be more in the nature of a chess game than a battle and no one is carrying any knives. Spangler and his public rela tions counsel, James P. Selvage, already have started the post convention campaign work. Last time, when Willkie was nomi nated, it was six weeks before a national headquarters began functioning. Now posters, slo gans and speaking material are readv for use the day the con-' vention clones. The same care has been shown In working out details for the Chicago meeting June 26. While confusing predictions have been made in the gossip columns, the distribution of convention lead ership is fairly well settled. CHAIRMAN of the platform . committee will be Senator Robert Taft, the new Borah of the Republican party, a studious, stralsht-thlnking, clear-minded moderate. Alreadv he has be gun work on the platform draft, gathering opinions from the vari ou leaders. , The man who will write the International D'ank Is Senator Vandcnherg of Michigan. He Is suDiosed to be working along the line of the Mackinac confer ence, which broueht the various conflicting forces Into a har monv declaration. Probably Incorporated also will be the theory of the Smith Connolly resolution. Both these arc along the lines In which oopular opinion is jelling after the strenuous debate, namely, a democratic formula for post-war collaboration nations. Thus all sides are to be well represented at the top of the Catherine Taft. the Brlcker man, and Vandenberg, the for mer isolationist, with Dewey selecting the chairman. AT least, this represents a composite viewpoint of the most influential Republican lead ers here, and the only thing likely to upset it would be an unexpected Brlcker chock under the Dewey bandwagon. Brok er's people here are continuous ly boosting their claims of dele gate strength. Their latest figure is 250, but thh still Is only one fourth of the convention. Rivalry in politics is never anything less than a "battle" yet the final reports from the llarrlsburg governors' confer ence Indicate the personal dis agreement between the Ohio and New York governors did not reach the breaking point. Neith er went away carrying hair from the other's head. Harmony Is, therefore, far more likely in the Republican convention than In the Demo cratic meeting, where southern delegatrs, at least, are reputed to be preparing to roll into the Knnvpnl In hnll in armored cars nrt tanks, fully gunned, and with a full stock of ammunition.

Perlich presented the chal lenge of farm chemurgy which he predicted will turn farm products into every day neces sities. Farmers will meet the needs of industry with their1 farm crops and not just food needs alone, the , young man foretold. Chemurgy is the sci ence of the industrial farmer, he said, and named two out standing new crops, grape seed for oil and a dandelion root for latex similar to rubber. Vollstedt, FFA president, said the state. FFA now has 1,600 members with $318,785 invested in their work. "It is time we young fellows of the FFA give serious consid eration to world war problems," he said. "We are the ones who bear the brunt of war and hard work.
