Turn ye, turn ve from your evil ways." —Ezekiel 13:11. Vote for Hoover. Hoover has been tried and found true to his trust. Florida is now sendir.tr many truck loads of golden oranges northward daily. The wet weather has cut the potato crop short, but indica tions are that a very good yield will be made despite the fact. - O - Go on S outhern political slaves, drop your little ticket in the box next Tuesday. Your vote was counted in June by a party controlled New York Tammany-Whiskey gang. o After you church members and what-not vote the Roosevelt Garner-Al Smith-Rum ticket next week, and then get down to pray for the salvation of this country, just listen closely, and hear the Heavenly Father give you His approval? - O - If the Tariff now in effect is broken down, this country will sure enough see hard times. It is the only thing that keeps the United States from being flood ed with cheap foreign labor 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 Grace of God that can save the people of the world from them selves. ■O 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.

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 sox.
