Now, if it is good policy for the in

good, why is it not good policy for
the government to regulate produc

all?

to consideration the great drought

PROMISES FULFILLED
With all the uncertainty which
now hangs over the fate of process
ing taxes and the whole AAA pro
gram, it is significant that the Presi
dent and his advisers give no hint
of lcavyig the American fanner to
his fate. It is cleajjy indicated by
Mr. Roosevelt, Secretary Wallace
and administration leaders in con
gress that a way will be found
continue lending a helping hand to
agriculture.
It is not sentiment which dictates
this course, but hard common sense
For years the special favors of gov
ernment in this country went to in-'
dustry. The protective tariff was
sacred, but the people footed the
bill. In every national campaign,
fine promises were made to western
and southern farmers, but the prom
ises were never fulfilled.
The first national administration
to attempt to do anything
languishing agriculture was
present democratic administration,
and the results are to be seen in
better prices for all agricultural com
modities. farms saved to their
ers, credit restored to those who
feed our millions, and the establish
ment of a definite policy of fairness
to American agriculture.
We do not know how these mat
ters will be handled in 1936, but we
have not the slightest doubt that the
president and a democratic congress
will prove equal to the emergency
A way will be found.

STARTLING STATISTICS
Tuberculosis used to take more
people of all ages to their graves
than any other sickness, and it i r
still the leading cause of death be
tween the ages of 15 and 35. In the
latter decadf of lHuore than one-
fifth of all daaths which occur arc
due to tuberculosis. This is indeed
starting situation.
Recent statistics show that more
than 5000 boys and 8500 girls in the
. between the ages of 15 and
25 die of tuberculosis. Thus
rate of mortality for girls is 76 per
100,000 of the female population add
49 per 100.000 of the male popu
lation at these ages.
This onslaught of the disease on
- many boys and girls just as they
e reaching maturity can be com
batted in two ways, first, children
must be better equipped to build up
resistance and. second, their physi
cal health must be more carefully
checked at regular intervals. Check-
on health must become as much
a part of our routine as overhauling
our automobiles and fixing up our
clothes and house* at regular per-
It was revealed in a recent study
that 71 per cent of the women in a
group of sanitarium patients were
under thirty years of age on admis
sion; 53 per cent of the men were
under thirty. Half of the women had
been admitted before they were 2S.
Because of their youth their chance
of recovery is better on the \frholc,
but when we realize that tubercu
losis is a needless waste of lives-
that it may be controlled—we cer
tainly should do our part and give
our children more intelligent protec
tion.
The education campaign of
National Tuberculosis Association
has gone far in making a healthier
nation with people better equipped
to fight stekneas. It is our duty to
support this movement by buying
and using Christmas Seals.
GETTING THE BEST
The average well-balanced per-
n likes to live. A keen enjoyment
comes as each new day is met and
obligations unfold. There
scarcely a person, however, who is
not prone to just let things driit, and
too often a word which might have
cheered another person along the
way is left unspoken.
The Wiregrass Farmer, of Ash bum,
gives this thought which is well
worth noting:
Don't put off until tomorrow the
ce things, the kind things, the en
couraging things that some impulse
prompted you to do for someone
to say to somebody tomorrow you
may have forgotten it or it may be
too late, and the page in your book
of life for that day is less inter
esting.
The average person lives - only
about 24,000 days or less. Each of
has only about 15,000 chances to
the sun rise in the morning. Only
about that many nights to sec the
stars in the sky. Don’t miss these
beauties of nature, don’t miss the
stimulation of friendship and
tacts with the people you like—
don’t miss the chance of doing some
thing worth while every day.
There is one person we know who
akea it a real business to be polite,
to do nice things Cor which no thanks
are given, so unobtrusive are these
courtesies, but on that person’s face
look of complete contentment,
not caused by personal accomplish
ment but by the joy that comes from
service to mankind.

POLITICAL BUNK
(By T. J. Cooper) , s
Political enemies of the Roosevelt i m
administration are making the wclfc->
in ring with the cry that our sacred
liberties are being undertained by a
Dictat ■ in »ho White House. We
are reminrit-d bv t< ngue and pen that
this priceless heritage sanctified by
the blr^d of our forefathers, is be
ing ruthlessly destroyed. That kind
of bunk might have been effective
in the debates between Jefferson and
Hamiltcn: but now it is as futile as
waving the bloody shirt before the
descendants of Civil War veterans.
Taxation without representation
was merely the proximate cause of
the Revolutionary War. Every one
that knows anything about the early
settlement of this county, knows that
most of our ancestors fled frem the
mother country to escape religious
persecution. They feared the Church
of England more than they feared
the taxing power of parliament; and
