was presented last night in the
. first performance of the week,
Jack Wright animal trainer and
owner of the Black Diamond Sta
bles, is presenting El Nasik, along
with two other horses, one of them
“Home Run,” belonging to Tram
mell Scott, of Atlanta. For the
remainder of the week two shows
will be presented each day.
During the early part of the
week a man and woman from
Greenville, N. C,, visited the fair
grounds, having heard of the fa
mous horse through his newspa
per publicity. A. F. Biair, of De
catur, El Nasik’s owner, also vis
ited on the fair grounds this week.
Numerous other awards have
been made, but a complete list
was not available before The News
went to press. The full list, how
ever, will be carried in an early
edition. A premium list totaling
nearly $1,000 was offered to ex
hibitors by the Legion Post.
Today has been set aside as Ex
hibitor’s Day. The finals in the
pony races, mule races and horse
races will be run this afternoon.
Every member of the family will
find entertainment on the fair
grounds. The amusement area of
fers rides and shows and the ex
hibits in themselves are well worth
the small admission price.
Tomorrow the emphasis will be
placed on livestock and all entries
will be judged by competent
judges. Numerous awards are be
ing offered and ribbons will be
awarded the winning entries.

“I don't know how many New
ton County boys are being sent The
News, but I think I can speak for
all of them when I express the
appreciation with which it is re
ceived.”
While the second letter is sharp
in its critic.sm, the -.nde-rlying
humor indicates a morale that
would be impossible in any oth
er army, for only in the army of
the United States would a pri
vate dare to write in this vein.
This letter, addressed to the
Editor and employees of The News,
is also reprinted in full.
“Dear Fellows, everyone is so
nice to me here. I am very en
thusiastic about army life. We
lay in bed every morning until
five o'clock.
“This of course gives us plenty
of time to get washed, dressed,
make the bunks, etc. We stand
outside and shiver while some so
and-so blows a bugle. After we
are reasonably chilled, we grope
our way through the darkness to
the mess hall. Here we have a
hearty breakfast consisting of an
unidentified liquid and choice of
white and rye crust. After gorg
ing ourselves with this delicious
repast, we waddle our way slow-,
ly back to the barracks. We have
nothing to do until 7:30 so we
just sit around and scrub toilets,
mop floors, wash the windows and
pick up all cigarette butts within
a radius of 200 feet of our bar
racks.
“Pretty soon the Sergeant
comes in and says ‘come on out
in the sun kids.’ So we go and
bask’ in the v n erful Wyoming
sunshine; of course we stand in
six inches of snow and mud, but
that's all right, too To limber up
we do a few simple calisthenics
like touching your toes with both
feet off the ground and grabbing
yourselves by the hair and hold
ing yourself at arm’s length.
“At eight o'clock we put on our
light packs and start walking to
the hills. The light pack includes
a gun, a bayonet, canteen, fork,
knife, spoon, meat cans, cup, sbav
ing kit, pup tent, rope, tent pole,
hand axe, small spade and a few
other negligible items. Carrying
my light pack I weight 214 pounds.
I weighed 135 pounds when I left
home, so you can see how easy
it is to romp and play around
here.
“An observation car follows us
as we climb the hills to pick up
the fellows that faint. The boys
who fall out in mountain climb
ing are treated very well. They
are given six months in the guard
nouse but they do not have to face
Court Martial.
“Those who can, limp to the
infirmary. At the infirmary the
patients are divided into two
classes: (1) those who have ath
letes feet and (2) those who have
colds. If you have athletes feet
you get your feet swabbed with
iodine. If you t-ave colds you get
your throat swabbed with iodine.
Anyone who claims to have nei

dale are offering free passes to
the theatres to the members of
the patrol in appreciation of their
efforts to prevent loss of life from

this plan will be announced
through the respective schools.
A further reward for service is
the possibility of a trip next May
to Washington, D. C., to meet with
patrol members from every state
in the Union. Plans for the trip
will be considered, Mr. Lee said,
and it is expected that it will be
made, provided sufficient funds
can be raised.
The full list of patrolmen for
the various schools was announc

Congress Considers
Linder's Parity Plan
(Continued from Page One)
riod. Linder said that Congress
had already created a controlled
economy, but that it was of such
a nature that it aided only a par
ticular group.
“Ycu have set up a machine of
crushing power,’’ he told the Com
mittee. “Either the farmer must
ride on this machine or be crush
ed by it, and unless he receives
parity for his products he will
surely fall under the wheels of this
machine you have created.” He
said that either the machine must
be governed or that it would de
stroy entirely the American farm
er.
He pointed out the destruction
of the middle class in France, sub
jugation of the millions in Rus
sia and the poverty suffered by
millions of others over the face
of the earth to live under govern
ments catering to a particular
group. Linder told the Commit
tee that Leon Henderson “had no
more diea of the hardships of peo
ple on the farms than the man in
the moon, and no more knowledge
of financial and other problems
that beset the farmer than an Es
kimo.”
Linder, who presented his plan,
has subsequently been appointed
on the Committee who will draft
legislation to be incorporated in
to the Thomas Act, which is the
price control bill.
Since Linder was spokesman
for all the Commissioners of Agri
culture in the United States ap
pearing before the Committee, and
since it was his plan presented
to the Committee suggesting leg
islation for a controlled economy,
both farm and political circles
over the nation have pretty well
accepted the fact that whatever
legislation is adopted looking to
parity will be designed by Tom
Linder.

Few stop to think about where
they trade or why. Many only
need their attention called to the
fact that trading at home is an
asset to themselves. If the money
stays at home, theie is a possi i uy
that you will get this same money
back, but if it is carried elsewhere,
the chances are small indeed.
Other citizens and merchants
wishing to take part in this cam
