EMERGENCY HOG
PROGRAM TO FEED
NEEDY EXPLAINED
Chicago.—Secretary Wallace out
lined the government’s emergency
hog program for buying 5,000,000
swine, employing meat packers to
process them, and distributing the
meat to the needy.
In an address at the Century of
Progress Exposition, he said that the
program will be ready to go into
effect in a few days and that he ex
pects it to boost purchasing power
in the corn belt substantially.
The plan should increase prices
of swine, possibly 26 to 60 per cent,
he asserted, and at the same time
provide relief to farmers heavily
stocked with swine but with short
feed supplies due to drouth.
The program calls for purchase
of 4,000,000 pigs weighing 26 to
100 pounds at from 6to 9 1 /4 cents
a pound, and 1,000,000 sows soon to
farrow, weighing a minimum of
275 pounds, at market prices on the
day marketed, plus a bonus of $4.
The purchases are to be completed
by about October 1.
They will be made “by specified
processors” for the Department of
Agriculture. The meat will be turn
ed over to the Federal Emergency
Belief Administration for distribu
tion.
Wallace estimated the cost of the
program at up to $65,000,000, to be
met by a processing tax on hogs
which will go into effect after Sep
tember 30. The tax rate and effec
tive date will be fixed later, he said,
estimating that the levy, paid by
those who turn the swine into mar
ketable pork, will be “considerably
less than a cent a pound.”
Wallace said the plan originated
with hog farmers and their repre
sentatives to meet the emergency
facing producers as a result of this
year’s short feed crop.
WHAT OF HEALTH FADS?
The subject of how to live long is
always of interest, which perhaps ac
counts for the eagerness of the aver
age mortal to seize upon various
methods which are recommended for
promoting health and longevity, such
ms doing daily exercise to radio music
and the like.
However, there are many who are
skeptical regarding the real benefits
of strenuous physical activity. One
of these wrote a letter to an ex
change, pointing out that Walter
Camp, family athlete and originator
of the “daily dozen,” died at sixty
five, while he, the writer, had never
taken any kind of exercise to speak
of and was still in excellent health,
although a great-grandfather. He
added that “the longest-lived people
are the physically lazy but mentally
alert.”
Commenting on the letter, William
Feather, a well known editor, de
clares that several years ago he
adopted a vigorous health program,
including vegetarianism, cold baths
and the daily dozen, with this result:
“Acute indigestion led to the aban
donment of vegetarianism on doctor’s
orders. Another doctor recommend
ed discontinuance of cold baths. The
daily dozen are still pursued, but
faith in them has been shaken by the
untimely death of their inventor.”
Still, we may find many who swear
by the health fads and feel that then
lives have been saved thereby. As
the proverbs has it, “What is food
the has, '.“What is food
for some is black poison to others.”

NEW FLY PESTS ATTACK
CATTLE
Thomasville, Ga.—Losses*which
already have mounted into the hun
dreds of dollars and which threaten
to reach into the thousands have been
caused in Thomas County and
throughout this area by a plaugue of
blow flies.
The flies have attacked cows, hogs,
horses and mules and even dogs, in
the majority of instances with dis
astrous results.
According to farmers and cattle
owners, the flies have made their
most serious attacks upon hogs and
cattle, but cases of horses and mules
having been killed by the pests have
been reported.
The flies attack the animals on
scratched or skinned places, and un
less given prompt treatment the ani
mal soon dies.
No method of successfully com
bating the flies has as yet been ad
vanced and no explanation has been
made of their presence in such large
numbers. The damage already has
been heavy and the owners of all
kinds of live stock have been giving
careful treatment to infested animals
to prevent further losses.
THE NRA AND THE COAL
SITUATION
The bitter argument now going on
in the coal industry over the terms
of the proposed blue eagle agreement
provides about as good a test case
for the whole recovery program as
could possibly be arranged.
It tests the patriotism, the social
conscience and the intelligence of
all parties involved—the owners, the
miners and the government itself.
It brings into the spotlight a sector
of the industrial front which needs
government regulation, probably
more than any other, and gives us a
chance to see whether reforms which
have been urgently needed for years
can finally be applied under the pres
sure of a national emergency.
Here we have an industry which
cannot possibly do justice to its own
ers or to its workers without some
sort of far-reaching and drastic cor
rective being applied from above.
The country has more coal mines
than it needs and more coal miners
than it can ordinarily employ. Even
a sudden return to 1929 levels of
business activity would not involve
consumption of all the coal that can
be mined annually, nor would it pro
vide jobs for all of the miners.
The industry, in short, has manag
ed to concentrate within itself near
ly all of the major evils of preseDt
day industrialism. This has happen
ed naturally and through force of cir
cumstances, and it is idle to try to
blame any one man or group of men;
but it has happened, and there is not
the slightest sign that the industry
can solve its troubles by its own un
aided efforts.
The blue eagle program offers a
way out—the first that has ever been
opened to the coal industry since its
troubles became acute.
Here, at last, is a chance for the
industry to become stabilized, for its
production to get geared to consump
tion, for an arrangement to be made
by which owners can get decent pro
fits and miners can get a decent liv
ing.
But the first response of the indus
try has not been encouraging. It has
split into factions —no fewer than ~27
codes have been submitted by differ
ent groups of bituminous operators.
Certain groups have apparently bean
ready to forego the benefits of co
operation rather than relax their ar
chaic anti-union traditions. Others
have insisted that they will submit to
no government supervision under any
circumstances.
It will be a national calamity if
some sort of order cannot be brought
into this chaotic field. Those indivi
duals who stand in the way are
shouldering an extremely heavy re
sponsibility.
STUPENDOUS COST OF •
GOVERNMENT GOES UP
It costs thirteen billions of dollars
a year to keep in motion the intri
cate system of government which has
been established in the United States,
units of government classified by the
hundreds' and ranging all the way
from the federal establishment down
to the smallest school district.
It costs $4,200,000,000 a year to
maintain the federal government,
$2,300,000,000 a year to maintain
county, city, village and other so
called local governments.
And Mr. John Citizen writes the
checks that pay the bills.
Twenty cents out of every dollar
derived as revenue in the form of
wages and receipts of business goes
into the huge tax maw of govern
mental spending. The sum exceeds
by two billions the gross value of all
agricultural production; it is only
seven per cent less than the total
wages and salaries paid to officers
and workers in 210,000 manufactur
ing plants.
The cost of government has in
creased more than 300 per cent since
1913—the direct result of an expan
sion of governmental activities, the
development of new governmental
functions and the acceptance by fed
eral, state and local law making
bodies of new duties and responsi
bilities.
SUCCESS
“’Tis the coward who quits misfor
tune,
’Tis the knave who changes each
day,
’Tis the fool who wins the battle,
Then throws all his chances away.
There is little in life but labor,
And tomorrow may prove but a
dream,
Success is the bride of Endeavor,
And luck but a meteor’s gleam.
The time to succeed is when others,
Discouraged, show traces of tire—
The battle is fought in the home
stretch,
And won ’twixt the flag and wire.”

FAIR VISITORS
SPEND AVERAGE
OF sl.lO EACH
Chicago.—Despite the leanness of
the Nations pocketbook, visitors to
the Century of Progress are actually
spending money more freely inside
the grounds than visitors to previous
world fairs.
Tabulations made on the basis of
the first 4,000,000 fairgoers indicate
a per capita average admissions —of
sl.lO. Century of Progress officials
proudly compare this with the aver
age of 86 cents set in twelve preced
ing world expositions.
Of the $4,445,307.74 total spent
within the grounds by the first 4,000,-
000 to pass the turnstiles, nearly
one-third, or $1,300,000, went to
eating establishments, according to
’the tabulation.
This does not include $491,000
spent on “refreshments” embracing
sandwiches, soda pop, ice cream, fruit
juices, popcorn and candy.
Shows and spectacles with separate
admission gates took nearly another
one-third, $1,446,000.
Stores selling various kinds of
merchandise disposed of $374,000
worth of goods to this first $4,000,-
000, while transportation utilities, in
cluding intra-fair buses and launches,
took in $526,000.
Rides and amusements of like na
ture did $454,000 worth of business,
games and vending machines garn
ered $86,000, “exhibit sales” totaled
$44,000, and $24,000 was credited to
“miscellaneous.” The exhibit sales
are a nonprofit disposal of articles
produced during the displays of some
manufacturers.
‘FLASH’, KEENE’S
MOUNT, IN SIXTH
FILM WITH STAR
“Beyond The Rockies,” which
comes to the Roosevelt Theatre this
week, marks the sixth consecutive
screen co-appearance of Tom Keene,
PKO-Pathe western star, and his
faithful mount, Flash. .
The thoroughbred equine has been
mastered by Keene since the day he
deserted the Montana range for the
camera and microphone. Keene does
the riding and Flash contributes the
galloping; and when Keene is in the
saddle, Flash is all that a camera
wise western horse should be.
Again the partners in thrills re
peat their hazardous stunts and wild
rides over the treacherous terrain of
the California High Sierras. For
these dangerous feats, which are seen
in “Beyond the Rockies,” cowboy and
horse carry on tireless rehearsals
previous to actual filming, and Keene
avers this has been responsible for
perfect safety and no accidents ever
since he acquired the horse’s reins.
Human actors supporting Keene
in the motion picture include petite
Rochelle Hudson, Mafie Wells, Ernie
Adams, Julian Rivero, Hank Bell and
Tom London. Fred Allen directed
from an original story by J. P. Mc-
Carthy, dealing with a cowboy’s ef
forts to thwart an unscrupulous
band of range marauders.
WELL AND HAPPY,
AFTER “DEATH” ON
OPERATING TABLE
Dalton, Ga. —Margaret Ann Gor
don “died” on an operating table in
a Chattanooga hospital as an attempt
was being made to remove a bead
which has lodged in her lung. To
day she is back home well and happy
The 4-year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Hubert Gordon swallowed a bead
several days ago. She was taken
to a Dalton physician who advised
that she be taken to a hospital in
Chattanooga. The operation was ex
ceedingly difficult because the bead
consisted of thfee pieces with a cop
per wire running through the center
and a large hollow brass cuff in the
middle which made it turn cross wise
when an attempt was made to remove
it.
When the bead turned crosswise
the child’s respiration was cut off
and she suffocated. Her body turn
ed purple. Swiftly an opening was
made into the windpipe and artificial
respiration was applied and a power
ful stimulant was injected into her
heart. After about five minutes she
resumed normal respiration and the
bead was removed with a broncho
scope.
BLOOMS OF BEAUTY
(By Ernest Neal, Poet Laureate of
Georgia)
After sunshine comes the rain;
Clouds disperse, blue skies again!
Softening, bright’ning summer hours,
Rain and sunshine make the flowers,
Thus from out our smiles and tears
Blooms the beauty of the years.
Americans Eat Canned Fish
THAT the citizens of this coun
try have a Gargantuan appe
tite for canned fish i3 proved
by the fact that in the five year
period from 1928 to 1932, inclus
ive, they consumed more than two
and a half billion pounds of it—
-2,634,849,379 pounds, to be exact,
according to the United States De
partment of Commerce.
The canned fish included in this
calculation were, first of all, sal
mon of which 1,545,860,759 pounds
were consumed during this period,
next sardines, 553,210,404 pounds,
then tuna, 177,260,594 pounds,
shrimp, 68,776,328 pounds, clam
products, 63,161,582 pounds, mis
cellaneous, 60,648,960 pounds,
mackerel, 57,210,730 pounds, crab,
54,334,674 pounds, oysters, 33,333,-
220 pounds, and alewives and ale
wive roe, 21,052,128 pounds.
You can add these figures up
for yourself, if you like, but you’ll
find it a lot more fun to try some
of the following recipes for the
cooking of these canned fish which
are consumed in such gigantic
quantities by your fellow citizens.
