If the Tariff now in effect is
broken down, this country will
sure enough see hard times. It

United States from being flood

goods.
There are millions of our
people all over this country out
of employment, and many more
millions in the countries of
Europe all brought on by a
world w r ar. The sad part of it all
is the same sinister forces are
still being fed by selfish desire
of power and greed of gold that
could cause another one.
There is nothing short of the

Gov. Roosevelt announced in
a recent speech that he is proud
of the enemies he has made.
Whereupon Senator Allen un
kindly asks him how about the
friends he has made— William
Randolph Hearst, W. G. McAdoo,
Senators Dill, Wheeler, Norris
and Huey Long, not to mention
various and sundry others.
Twenty-seven industrial, trade
and professional groups, with
active workers in each state,
county and community, have
been organized to work for the
re-election of President Hoover.
The Governor Forgot
When in his San Francisco
speech Franklin D. Roosevelt
declared that, “The American
people were deceived and de
frauded into purchasing billions
of dollars worth of foreign se
curities,” and when he added,
“tnere seems to have been no
attempt at governmental pro
tection against this outrage,” he
apparently had completely for
gotten that in 1922 he was the
president of a corporation known
as the United European Invest
ors Limited which sold to the
American public a vast quantity
or German marks on the assump
tio l they would turn out to be a
safe, sound, conservative invest
ment. It is certainly an un
common situation for a candid
ate for President to complain be
cause the Government did not
protect the people against the
outrage he was perpetrating up
on them.
O
Why?
The American farmer’s best
customers are the industrial
workers in our shops, mines and
factories.
They are having A hard
enough time now with shortened
hours, reduced wages and uncer
tain employment.
Governor Roosevelt proposes

SIXTY DISASTERS
IN 1 932 ADO TO
NATION'S DISHES C/3
Red Cross Spends $2,760,000
To Help Victims of
Catastrophes.
In a year of great misfortune caused
by economic depression, in which the
American Red Cross assumed heavy
burdens of relief for the unemployed,
the organization also responded to
emergency needs in 60 disasters in the
United States and its insular posses
sions.
During the twelve months ending
June SO, 1932, the Red Cross gave aid
to 75,000 families totalling 338,000 indi
viduals, with expenditures of $2,700,-
786. These people were in distress be
cause of drought, flood, forest fire, tor
nado, snowstorm, mine explosion, or
ether similar great disaster.
to increase their difficulties by
slashing protective tariff
barriers and placing them in
direct-competition with the
workers of Europe and Asia,
whose wages and standard of
living are far below those that
prevail in our country.
Why should farmers support
a candidate who will multiply
the difficulties of their best
customers and thus reduce their
purchasing power?
Why should industrial
workers support a candidate who
promises a policy which can not
possibly benefit them and may
work to their immeasurable
detriment?
The Farmer—1960
David Snedden of Columbia
University anticipates that in
1960 there will still be from
eight to ten million individual
farmers in the country, each
having managerial responsibil
ity for fixed property worth
$5,000 to $50,000. Most of these
farmers, he believes, will
specialize in one or two money
crops and will purchase their
larger staples and market their
products through cooperative
agencies.
Glenn Frank, President of the
University of Wisconsin, recent
ly said that unless the farmer
follaws a new economics he will,
so far as being a free man is
concerned, become a vanishing
type. “In this new economics,”
he continued, “the principle of
cooperative action will play a
decisive role.”
It is interesting to note that
support for the cooperative
movement is almost unanimous
among progressive observers, on
the farm and off. No economic
principle has caused as little
disagreement. Thousands of un
biased authorities, looking at the
problem from the viewpoint of
both the farmer and the consum
ing public, hold that cooperation
is as essential as the proper
cultivation of land. It is far
mer’s assurance of future pros
perity—and the public’s assur
ance of a sound agricultural
structure, with high standards
of living, and producing and dis
tributing quality commondities
at a fair price.
SOUTHEAST GEORGIAN, .THURSIJA.Y, NQYEMBER 3, 1932.
Prolonged drought caused the Red
Cross to go with help to 5S.OOO families
in the northwest. Here in 144 counties
in North and South Dakota, Montana,
Nebraska, Washington and Iowa the
Red Cross spent $1,980,000 from its
own treasury to feed and protect peo
ple through the winter and spring.
Other grave disasters were floods in
southeastern states, where the organ
isation spent $192,000 from its treasury
and $06,000 local contributions to help
13,000 persons.
More than 50.000 people were home
less from floada In tributaries of the
Mississippi river and again the Red
Cross faced a long relief task, aidlug
ti.ese people. The national organization
gave $108,000 and local contributions
were $10,000.
Tlie Red Cross always maintains a
state of readiness to meet these sud
den emergencies, and funds and other
essentials to this work are supplied,
in part, by the annual roll call, held
each year from Armistice Day to
Thanksgiving Day. Every citizen can
support this worthy activity through
joining as a member in the local Red
Cross chapter.
People Must Awaken
To Their Duty Te
The Railroads
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 3 (GPS) —
Railroads are now in distress
and will cease to function unless
the people awaken to their duty
and responsibility and enact
measures which will put them
on 8. , basis of . equality i. in taxa- ,
tion and regulation with com
peting forms of transportation,
in the opinion of transportation
officials, industrial experts and
business men who have discuss
ed the subject here recently.
Here is the situation, as outlin
ed by one expert:
“We find the freight truck,
passenger bus and government
subsidized waterways in opera
tion, in competition with the
railroads.
“Is it fair competition? Who
pays for the building of roads
and waterways ? Did the freight
trucks, passenger busses, barge
and steamship lines build them?
How much taxes do they pay to
ward building and maintaining
them ? What share do the pro
perty owners pay ?What share
do the railroad companies pay?
“Should the railroads cease to
operate, and they must unless we
throw our loyal support to them,
what will become of many of the
various industries? Which will it
affect most? What will happen
to the farmer; the merchant, the
stockman; the manufacturer
and various others? Should they
fail, every individual will feel the
lasting and far-reaching effect.
“It is time that we became
alarmed. Is it not time for use
wage a campaign for, and pat
riotically stand by the railroads?
IMMOBILIZING BOSSY
THE little city girl stood and
watched the farmer milk the
only cow he had. The next morn
ing the farmer was much excit
ed, as the cow had been stolen
during the night.
Farmer—“Drat the thief that
stole that cow. He’s miles away
from here by now.”
Little girl—“I wouldn’t worry
’bout it, mister, they can’t get
so far away with it, ’cause you
drained her crank-case last
night.”
3,000,000 FAMILIES
HELPED BY RED GROSS
Distress in All Areas Met by
Giving Food, Clothing
and Other Aid.
More than 3,000,001) families through*
out the nation were given raliet of
various types by the American Red
Cross in the past winter, to aid tfceaa
in tbeir distress caused by unemploy
ment, disaster or other misfortune.
A major relief task, due to unem
ployment and other unusual condition*
la tho bituminous mining counties In
twenty states, was met by the Red
Cross chapters alone, or participating
with other agencies. In these 143 coun
ties, the Red Cress aided 90,000 fami
lies through giving groceries, school
lunches, clothing, flour and other ne
cessities to combat privation.
Flour, milled from government wheat
turned over to the Red Cross by Con
gress, was given to 15.000.000 persons
In the period Bom March 8 to June SO.
the close of the fiscal year. Flour will
continue to be given through the win
ter of 1932-33, and Red Cross chapter*
also will give cotton clothing, made
from government cotton turned over
to the Red Cro»9 for distribution.
– “The Red Cross faces the busiest
winter since the days of the Vforld
War,” Chairman John Barton Payne
said. “It is organized in virtually every
one of the 2,072 counties in the United
States, and will co-operate with all
agencies to meet distress wherever
fouud. The flour has proved of great
benefit, and the cotton clothing will be
given wide distribution.”
While carrying on nation-wide these
unemployment and other relief meas
ures, the Red Cross also was engaged
in Its regular peace-time activities in
public health nursing, service to ex
service men and their families, teach
ing home hygiene, life saving and first
aid. The Junior Red Cross, composed
of almost 7,000,000 school children, also
rallied to the support of the society**
relief efforts, and the children aided
others of their age In practical ways,
formed sewing and food canning
classes, and were of great assistance
in chapter relief work.
While the wheat and cotton were
given by the U. 9. Government, no
money was provided to pay for the
necessary work entailed. The Red Cross
will meet this expense of almost
$500,000 from its treasury. Citizens
ran aid by joining as members of the
local Red Cross chapter during the roll
cal! from Armistice Day to Thanks
giving Day.
Clothes for the Needy
Women volunteer* sewing for the
needy under direction of the Red Cross
produced 296,000 garments last year,
and will produce millions of garment*
in the.winter of 1932-33. These will be
from the millions of yards of cotton
cloth distributed by the national Red
Cross from the 600,000 bale* of cotton
turned over to the organization by
Congress. Cloth was sent to all chap
ter* requesting it, and later it wa*
proposed to send some simple ready
made garments, including trouser*,
overalls, underwear, stocking* nod

PROCTORS
Liniments for horses,
Medicines for cows;
Oils to rub on women folk
To soothe their aching brows.
Little country drugstore,
Not like those in town,
Where is heard the rustle
Of many a silken gown.
Remedies in bottle
For bruises, hurts and sprains,
Panaceas commended
For human aches and pains,
Tonics for the poultry
When hens refuse to lay
Put out where city druggist
Have perfumes on display.
Cures for every ailment
To which the flesh is heir;
For mothers in the country
Have little time to spare.
And so the village drugstore
A hundred needs supplies,
Including soothing syrups
Whene’er the baby cries.
The city drugstore glistens
With countless pretty things,
And all the trifling trinkets
Which love of beauty brings,
But still the country drugstore
By every inch of space
Proclaims the cares and pro
blems
The wives of farmers face.
