Someone told certain Blue Grass State farmers that President Roosevelt's “mew deal’ included the giving of ftee horses to worthy tillers of the soil. Three of them walked 15 miles to Greenup, Ky. to ask if their horses had arrived. When answered in the négative they walked back home. The Weekly Financial Review for last week, discussing the better business outlook, said: “It is not to be expected that the velocity of improvement will bring prosperity over night—yet the trend is most assuredly in the right direction; the outlook more promising than at any time in more ;than 40 months,” Some weird stories are going about concerning Albert Binstein of relativity fame, considered by many to be the world’s greatest living scientist. Having renounced his German citizenship because of Hitler's persecution of the Jews, one newspaper says “he will settie in Switzerland and be- come a naturalized Swede.” Another re- port says “he will become a professor in Madrid, in spite of the fact that Jews were banished from Spain in 1492.” Farmer readers may be interested to ktiow that President Roosevelt has cut the tariff on fertilizer forks, hay forks, hand rakes and hoes by 50 per cent. No changé was made inthe duty on spades and shovels, Tf this item seems a trifle queéstion- able for publication in a family newspaper, we Can only say it is taken from the highly reputable American Magazine: diplomat says yes he means perhaps; whén he says perhaps he means no, if he says no he is no diplomat.

It has almost descended to the simplicity of the expressive language of | 36 Ber slang. Premier MacDonald of England uséd such an Americanism as “Up against | « it” in one of his interviews. President Roosevelt himself referred to the people of the world as being ‘in hard luck.” Such simplicity in the speech of rep- resentatives of great nations, of men trained in the diplomatic service, where, as Talleyrand was wont to say, “Language was given us to conceal our thoughts,” means that the general public is being served and that the interests of all the peoplé are being considered with scru- pulous honesty. Such conferences as President, Roose- velt has sponsored and encouraged have méant the development, not only of friend- ship between the great leaders of -great nations, but friendship between the people of those same nations. America has always, anti quite re- cently, enjoyed a reputation for her frank- ness and honesty of purpose. The days of the simplé language and honest diplomacy of Benjamin Franklin seem to have’ returned, OUR DICTATORSHIP The fearsome cries that are being heard from various sections of the United States as well as from some of the dig- nified representatives of the former rulers of the country at Washington, to the effect that President Roosevelt is being given the powers of a dictator, instead of creating alarm in the minds of the people, are be- ing received with grins and cheers. - The people are glad to be “reminded that the president is belnes given dictatorial powers.

Fisher, great developer, writes to a local business man that! the greatest asset any tourist city in Florida can have is: First, the climate. Second, a good golf course. Third, good fishing and hotel accommodations, You have the first and last and are going to have the second. If I owned undeveloped property in Key West They regard public dictatorship, with |} would give half of it gratis for stich.a man as Franklin D. Roosevelt as the dictator, as infinitely preferable to a dic- tatorship just as real, but with the real dictating power hidden behind a curtain of anonymity. The country has realized that for many past years it has been subject to a dictatorship of dollars. It has no fear of the dictatorship of a man who setvés it in the open and who serves in the interest of all the people. The American people are back of President Roosevelt almost to the last man, woman and child. A FEW OPPORTUNITIES The only hope of attractive invest- ment lies in the realm of companies en- gaged in general production. In many of these lines conditions are of a promising nature. Of course, brewing stocks, with the industry unable to meet the demands for its product, are very attractive where the companies are established ones. But in this industry there will be many wildcat promotions that will entail joss to the investor. Where there is a real value to thé brewery stock, it will not be offered for sale except in the regularly listed manner. Brewery stocks offered by stock sales- men should be absolutely ignored. Listed on the stock market, however, are many corporations whose stocks are good purchases today. Eliminating railroads, oi] and copper stocks are viewing public utility stocks the list shows many dividend paying stocks at attractive prices. It the investor will study the business | possibilities of such stocks, basing his study on the assurance that business will be better, he will be able to come to @ wise and profitable decision. As a general starting point, any com- pany that earned anything in 1932, even if the company did not declare a dividend, is @ good market investment. golf course purposes, Claude Dorsett, colored prisoner being taken to the county jail from the city prison, was taken from the officer by a band of masked men and has not been seen since. This happened last night. The officer who has Dor- sett in chargé said that a number of men drov¢ up in automobiles, took Dorsett ind drove away with- out speaking one word. Several small pools of blood and tar and feathers were found on the county road, The cruiser Rochester of the U. S. N.. with approximately 500 mén and officers dropped anchor in the harbur at & o'clock this morning. The vessel will remain in port several days and this after- noon half of the ship’s company is enjoying liberty. As the ves- sel entered the harbor the guns of the nayal station fired a salute of 18 guns in honor of Admiral S. E. W. Kittelle, commander of the di- vision. At a regular meeting of Monroe Engine company No, 2, held Mon- day night, it was decided to re- quest Chief ‘Ralph B.
