DARNALL, Pormer Editor of The Key West Citizen A certain Afriean tribe discourages londewinded speeches by requiring .all to stand on one foot while sound- ing bff. A fine idea, but a better one would be to compel! them to stand on their heafls. * An old-time ball player avers that the term “charley horse,” applied to diamond artists who develop a kink in the leg, ori- winated at Sioux City, Ia., some 40 years broken-down horse dragging ago, when ap old named Charley hobbled about the diamond, Belief that the drouth is a visitation of Providence to punish the country for plowing under crops, destroying little pigs, and vedueing acreage, has spread among farmers to an extent that Secretary Wal- ince is said to be worried about it. Many rural miliistef# are reported to be busy disseminating the superstition. A list of noted one-eyed men _ pub- lished in a current magazine includes the Lord Nelson, “Pussyfoot” names of Jefferson Davis, Wiley Post, Floyd Gibbons, Joinson and “One-Eyed” Connolly— fariea respectively as President of the Cotfederacy, British admiral, around the world aviator, war correspondent, prohibi- on crusader and gate crasher. When the Wasco Indian chief Duc- Sa-Hi built and operated a ferry across the Deschutes river in Oregon back in the ’60s for the convenience of early settlers, he little thought that his humble, though use- ful; service would have lasting com- meMmoration. But such came a few days aed, when a new $50,000 bridge at the ferty site was dedicated in his honor. The biennial wheeze warning govern- ment employes to refrain from political activity is being promulgated by the vari- ous departments.

A BISHOP’S STORY Illustrating how the treatment of strangers in a foreign land may influence their lives, Bishop Bartlett of the Episcopal Church tells of two young Chinese students who came to America, and what happened to them. | One, a Chinese girl who had been con- verted to Christianity in her native land, came to the United States to continue her studies. Unfortunately, she entered a school in which prejudice was shown be- cause of her race. She renounced Chris- tianity and returned to China. The other, a Chinese boy, was be- friended by an American family in Charles- ton, became a Christian, returned to China and married a Christian Chinese girl.Four of their children were educated in the United States, and their family became one of the most influential in China. One daughter married Sun Yat Sen, founder of the Chinese republic; another married Chiang Ka Shek, China’s chief leader today; a third married Kung Heiang | Hsi, recently finance minister of China; while a son, Soong Ts Vung, was also finance minister and represented China in| several international conferences “The Christian influences which have gone out from this family,’ says Bishop} Bartlett, ‘‘are incalculable, and go back tol friendliness shown toward a Chinese boy | in America.” { WAR AND WHEAT PRICES | Every war of first magnitude is fol- lowed by a temporary boom while depleted stocks are being restored, according to a writer in the.New York Sun, but after a few years there is a severe panic, with a decline in prices and in,labor employment. | The post-war boom in America ended | in 1929, although the great collapse in wheat had come when the war-time de- mands ended, the price dropping from $3 | to less than $1 a bushel. Ignoring the obvious cause of this slump in price, poli- ticians blamed the existing marketing sys- | tem and demanded its punishment. This agitation, long continued has discouraged speculative support of the market. For nearly a year leaders of the grain trade have repeatedly warned that excessive governmental tinkering and threats of new and more drastic laws, such as the so-called Commodity Exchange bill offered at the last session of Congress, would drive out that speculative support so essential at crop movement time. Such warnings, informed editors and marketing authorities point out, were un- heeded, with the result that the winter wheat crop recently harvested has found a | market almost entirely devoid of the usual | valuable speculative support. As was in- ! evitable, the farmer has suffered as a con- sequence.
