Better Do It Early Snow-covered fields bring thoughts of Christmas, so maybe it isn’t too early to sound the clarion call of “do your Christmas shopping early.” There are other reasons, this year, besides | those, which ordinarily lend weight to the plea. One of these is a prospective shortage of cer- tain items of seasonable goods. In the toy industry, for example—and what! is Christmas without toys for dad and*Uncle! John to play with?—some lines are proving | 80 popular that a definite shortage before! Christmas is certain. i Just as the shoemaker’s children lack foot-/ gear so does it usually happen that editors and| others who write such appeals are just finish-| ing their shopping on Christmas eve. But it is good advice just the same.

The Bismarck Tribunelf | Behind the Scenes | in Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER Demon Alcohol Rears Head as Possible 1936 Issue... F. R. Urged to Beat Landon to Temperance Cry... Banker Hecht Seems a Bit Ungrateful ... This Mr. Farley Appears to Be an Important Person. Washington, Nov. 21.—Most of the smart boys, some of whom have inside information, are betting that the wet-dry issue will rise from its grave and enter the presidential campaign. Drys polled 312,000 votes in Kentucky the other day. Politicians can't ignore a showing such as that. Even though the wets did carry repeal by 110,000, the existence of strong dry minorities in many states is indicated and there's some evidence of a certain reaction against conditions under repeal. In a presidential election otherwise fairly close, concerted dry support for one candidate’ might easily decide the result. You would have to assume, of course, that it wouldn’t be offset by a swing of wets to the other candidate, since any wet candidate would win on a straight wet-dry fight. The strategy of politicians now is to make liquor a collateral issue which can be used to their side’s ad- vantage. Democratic strategists, who have their eyes closely on Governor Landon of Kansas, have been thinking that Landon’s dry record was his chief liability. But they also figure that Landon may be smart enough to make an asset out of it. If he were to utter a cry for “temperance,” attack conditions since repeal, inferentially blame them on the Roosevelt administration, and de- | mand reform, he might become a hero of the drys | without alienating many wets. So convinced are some advisers that Landon will | try something of the sort that Roosevelt has been urged to take the “temperance” issue to his own bosom before someone else grabs it. Don’t be surprised at some effort along that line. CAN THIS BE GRATITUDE? ! Surprise, not to say indignation, was registered here | when Rudolf 8. Hecht. retiring president of the American | Bankers’ association, urged before the association’s con- | vention immediate steps to take the government out of | “the many fields of business activity in which it has become. engaged,” with special reference to banking and credit. It happens to be known here that the RFC bailed out Mr. Hecht’s bank, the Hibernia Na- tional of New Orleans, to the tune of millions of dollars, and reorganized it, after it had closed. The question is raised whether the bank has paid off the RFC and thus far -no one is heard answering that it has. Although “Mr. Hecht, who used to be president of Hibernia, was moved to the bank's chairmanship while RFC put in its own agent as president, it is still felt that he has bitten a feeding hand. RFC was left: holding the bag for nearly a million when the Union Indemnity Co., of which Hecht was a director, failed early in 1933, soon after Hecht—who was also chairman of the New Orleans RFC advisory committee—had lobbied through an additional $970,000 RFC loan for Union Indemnity, most of which sum, according to undenied charges by Congressman Hamilton Fish, was used to pay off indebtedness to Hecht’s bank. see THIS FARLEY’S A BIG GUY One characteristic of Postmaster General Jim Farley's Varlous documents in Jim’s department which have | been exposed to light considerably show virtually indis-| tinguishable gray marks in the space for his signature vhile other handwriting, in black ink. stands out clearly. Also, your correspondent recently jotted down the on the edible portion of such products would benefit the American farmer, { Almost coincidental with that editorial, it now seems, | the soapmakers of the nation launched a campaign for | @ cut in the tariff on cocoanut oil, the most important | of these products. Their explanation is that the present impost of three cents a pound is harmful to the soap/ industry and the nation. Continued collection of this} tariff means higher prices for soap, both in the city and! on the farm, and publicists for the soapmakers express | the belief that the farmer will pay more for soap than | he will save by being relieved of competition from the famous “cocoanut cow.” The fact, however, is that he can maintain moderate | costs for cleanliness and protect his commercial interest as a iat producer at the same time. The two objectives are not antithetical. Only about 30 per cent of the cocoanut oil imported! into this country goes into oleomargarine, the competitor | of butterfat, cottonseed, corn and other oils. The re-| mainder is used for industrial purposes. The soap indus- | try proposes to maintain the levy on oil imports for| edible purposes but to eliminate it from imports for in-; dustrial use. Oil for industrial use would be denatured | 80 as to make it unfit for food. i ‘The idea seems fair enough. It may be that, in our! efforts to protect the dairy industry from unfair compe-| tition, we have gone much farther than is justified by consideration of all the facts. r i Light Reading for Pacifists Pacifists who like a bit of light reading might prof- itably spend a few minutes reviewing the American attitude toward chemical warfare as revealed by Capt. Alden H. Wiatt of the chemical warfare service. Captain Wiatt says there is no gas now in existence Powerful enough for a relatively small quantity to wipe out a city or even a large group of soldiers. Having given) this reassurance he goes on to outline, in a popuiar magazine article, what our military experts WANT in the way of poison gases. The ideal chemical would affect the skin, the eyes and the lungs. It would have weight so that it would stay on the ground and thus have an opportunity to make contact with its victims. It must be of such nature | that it can be produced in quantity. A practical requisite | is that it must not corrode its containers. so badly. that | it escapes and injures those using it and it preferably | could be spread in warfare.by either projectiles or ground | containers, | Imagine a product of that nature being dropped in! i Bismarck, or among troops and you get an idea of what war was in the past and will be in the future. Then contemplate the fact that the use of gas in warfare was solemnly outlawed by world treaty but that every nation has a chemical section in its army just as we have. there be any better proof of the insincerity with which the nations conduct the age-old struggle for peace? ‘ e-*, Unfriendly Reception # The notthwest, usually friendly to the stranger with- i in Sts gates, killed no fatted calves for Dr. Hans Luther, f Corman ambassador, on his trip into this section. * y ‘Instead of open arms and welcoming smiles, Dr. t Luther,;was embarrassed by a barrage of questions.

(Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) | With Other | | LDITORS | Sour Jokes (Valley City Times-Record) There is nothing in all the world so sour as a joke that turns sour. Mr. Herbert Hoover, asked a question in a hotel in New York state, says Nis reply was in- Reprinted to | show what they say. We it is no joke for him to find that the reply was quoted as indicating his views on the possibility of his becoming @ candidate for the presidency. Secretary Wallace said some things about enforcing the potato control act, and when taxed with having the intention of refusing to en- force the law passed by congress, explains that he was laughing when he made the remark. We have all of us had the experience of trying out a joke and finding to our chagrin that the joke element was not perceived by those who heard, and then we are understood to be giving out an impression wholly dif- ferent from what we had intended to convey. Much em- barrassing explanation is usually required before the matter is straightened out. For it is the nature of emo- tions to turn like lightning from the friendly and rea- sonable aspect to the bitter and the caustic. Jokes a:e the spice of existence; but when this spice turns sour it is poisonous. It is inevitable that many jokes should hinge upon the personal faults and foibles of individuals. Because of this there is need of extreme care to pay due regard to the sensibilities of those at whom jokes are aimed. Some jokesters have the skill to point a jibe at other People in such a way as to reveal the incongruous and the» amusing side without any suggestion of inflicting pain. Such a one was the beloved Will Rogers, who could say the most outrageous things about the high- est dignitaries and leave no ill feeling behind. But the world is encumbered with a large number of people who try this without having the proper finesse; and the re- | sult is lamentable. The worst of it seems to be that such ) unskilled people so often labor under the delusion that they are experts. This fault is at the bottom of the fail- ure of many a person who otherwise would get along beautifully. Jokers generally should remember that nothing they do is quite so effective in revealing their real capacities as is the habit of making jokes. Live with a jokester @ little while and you will know more about his faults through his joking than you will learn in any other way. He opens the door to his inmost self when he springs his joke. And a man who isn’t absolutely sure about his skill in joking should betake himself to earnest prayer for | OLITICS |room, it is the repository for copies ‘And You're to Be the Guest of Honor!’ By William Brady, M.

Zine Oxide Boric Acid Benzoic Acid Zinc Peroxide . Aromatic Oils, q. 8. Special Base Just what aromatic oils and special base was a mystery. But I suggest about one drop or‘one grain of oil of thyme, oil of eucalyptus, pine oil and menthol to the ounce of salve. As the base I suggest equal parts of lanolin and soft petrolatum, or whatever variation of these proportions the weather and your druggist may indicate. . ; One hie we afte insist upon. If my name is to be associated with this salve in your adventures the salve must be dispensed in collapsible tube. T refuse to acknowledge the salve if it is in a jar or box. I regard any un- guent that is kept in a jar or box as a surgical menace and a wicked extrava- gance, for once any portion of it is used, the remainder is almost certainly contaminated if indeed it is not infected merely by opening the box or jar. ‘When I said Old Doc Salve neither heals anything nor hastens the natural healing process, I meant just that. I do believe, though, that it prevents needless delay in healing while it gives comfort to the wound. I know of nothing which can possibly hasten natural healing or heal anything. Nature does the healing at her own rate in her own way.* All we can do is to endeavor to prevent interference with the healing process.
