Resort cities everywhere re- port big business over the Fourth of July. In Atlantic City the banks reported de- posits of $2,200,000, their busiest day since the 1929 crash. Just wait until the bridges are built. THE SEASON OPENS Already famous men and well-known personages are listening to the buzzing of | the well-known presidential bee as political leaders seek the opportunity of leading one or more of the great political parties | in 1936. On a different scale in almost every state and community, as people go about their daily affairs, they are surprised by an unusually friendly greeting from some- body who only a few weeks ago hardly took the trouble to say: ‘Good morning— : the chances are he is a candidate! You do not have to be a super-detec- | tive to spot the budding political ambitions ; of your former neighbors and friends—go to church and you will find them on the front row; stay at home or in the office’or store and you will have surprise visits from those who suddenly evince a great interest in your affairs. You are entitled to sus- pect that they are going to offer for of- fice. All of this is a part of our understand- able effort in self-goverment. Too often, however, the emphasis is placed upon the candidate when, as a matter of fact, the voters themselves should critically analyze their own attitudes toward government. If a candidate can get a vote by flattering some ordinary citizen; isn't the trusting and gullible véter somewhat to blame? When citizens take more interest in government; keep better posted as to what is being flone ‘and what should be done for their ‘own "welfare, study carefully and properly the characters and abilities of those who voluntarily offer to represent them in the administration of political af- fairs, and quit being fooled by promises, or won by cheap flattery, government will be on a higher plane, A NEW JAPANESE ATTACK The signifivance of the smuggling of Japanese govds into China is not lost on other powers whose products are gradually being squeezed out of the Chinese market almost as effectively as if they were ban- ned by law. A recent news dispatch explains that there is a shortage of railway cars and motor trucks where the available supply is insufficient to transport goods being dumped aleng the coast by smugglers. The Chinese customs guards have been dis- armed by the Japanese Army, it said, thus prohibiting the Nanking Government from collecting its tariffs. The smugglers pay a rate of about one-fourth the normal tariff to the Japanese established govern- ments. Other nations whose goods enter Chinese territory through regular channels are compelled to pay the full tariff. Con- sequently, they cannot compete with the smuggled merchandise. What is going on in China is a new type of warfare, economic in character but none the | dec: By smashing the Nanking Government financially, the Jap- anese expect to gain much commercially, while at the same time, risking very little. Protests. fyom Great Britain, the United Std ed and other nations have no effect upon the Japanese. Boiled down, the situation is that the “Open Door” policy, permitting’ all’ nations to have sub- stantially the same trading privileges in China, is being abolished. If the other nations do not like what the Japanese are doing, they have the choice of getting to- gether to resist the encroachments, or, if they have no idea of cooperating in a de- termined stand, their diplomatic officials might as well keep their mouths shut. is sive. OUTWITTING A CROOK An unusual package was devilered re- cently to Herman Pattberg, a wealthy citi- zen of Duisburg, Germany. Inside was a carrier pigeon and a letter. The letter directed him to fasten a 5,000-mark note, to the pigeon and turn it loose. He was warned that he would be murdered should he fail to com- ply. Pattberg thought it over, then a bright idea crossed his mind. He hired an avia- securely tor to follow the pigeon when it was re-! The flyer car-} | ried a camera with which he photographed leased minus the money. the house on which the pigeon alighted, then returned and gave the picture and directions to the police. The would-be blackmailer was soon in jail. Which illustrates that a slick crook can be outwitted if his intended victim is just a little bit slicker. | Happenings Here Just 10 Years j the | ! morning at pe T. Bragassa.

All the farmer would then have to do would be to select n's seed and grow the kind of car he wanted Think of watch- ing a Ford sprout, a Chrys- ler bloom. or a sadillacma- ture! While this miracle will not happen in qust this fashion. ai- ready the farms of the country have a tre- mendous stake in this automobile business. Once, we thought of the farm as a place tu grow things to eat and wear Today, we look to the farmer as a co- worker with the industrialist in pro- ducing much of the many things we enjoy beyond the necessities of food and clothes. This co-partnership ex- tends into practically every field of our modern life. Today, the tarm 1s a major factor in our industrial life and every farmer has a vital relation to our manufacturing interests. We are indebted to Mr. Cameron. of the Ford Motor Company. for some interesting farm facts and car facts. They are worth repeating. Did you know that to make a mi!- lion cars it requires 3.200.000 pounds of wool, and that it takes 800,000 she to produce that much wool? It takes 30,000 cattle and 20,000 hogs to make a million automobiles. Besides, 11 re- quires 350,000 pounds of goat's nair and it is necessary to shear goats to get that. The beeswax neces- sary will 2mploy 93,000,009 honey- bees for a full year. Of field products, we find this mil- lion cars will have to have 69,000,000 (Address questions to the aut THE WEATHER | eeeoeneccccovccersereees Temperatures* Highest - Lowest Mean 84!

There are many other farm ; lich publisher, products entering into the making of | 14° 19: automobiles. But these are sufficient ‘i to reveal the fact that the farmer has a very definite stake in the automo- bile industry. But so he has in all industry, his farming operations themselves are only industrial activities inex- tricably tied into all other industrial activities of the nation How vicious. then, the effort on the part of some to try to make it appear that the farmer's interest. or that the manu- facturer’s interests. or that the ta- borer's interests are peculiarly his own. They are not. The good of one is the good of all. An understanding and full co-operation between the various forces in our nationat life will establish us forever The preachment of class hatred will destroy us The clash of class hatreds nas been the death rattle of nations. Let all of us who love America despise the man who drives a wedge between the vari- ous groups of our people.
