It is com parable in a way to a mandate over a backward nation such as we arro gate to ourselves in the Phillipines. Fire and water are inestimable blessings, but no reasonable person wculd criticise a mother for restrain ing her child from jumping in a burn ing building or plunging into a rag- ■ ing torrent. Unfortunately the law of supply i and demand docs not always operate j for the benefit of all concerned. Too [much is bad for the producer; too little is bad for the consumer; there fore, some kind of regulations necessary to preserve a just balance. Now, if it is good policy for the in dividual to regulate his production according to demand for his good, why is it not good policy for the government to regulate produc tion on a large scale for the good of all? J The charge that Jhe government Is trying to restore ^osperity on basis of "scarcity” does not take to consideration the great drought in the grain belt that could not be foreseen; nor the billions of dollars in purchasing power created by gov ernment spending. If it had not been for these two things our granaries would be bursting with unsalable surpluses, and most of our fanners would be without homes.

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. President Roosevelt has turned to Washington fiom the “Little White House" at Warm Springs. 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.

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.
