KANSAS "STEPS ON IT" There may be some interesting crop news come out of the state of Kansas during the campaign year. Reports of the Department of Agriculture on the wheat acreage in the Sunflower State have already induced the politicians to sit up and take notice. The estimate is that Kansas farmers have put out the biggest winter wheat crop in the history of the state, with 14,103,000 acres under cultivation against 1,045,000 under cultivation in 1934. Incidentally the mark set by the well-known AAA for Kansas was 1,288,000 acres, so that this allotment has been considerably exceeded. Some of the foes of the AAA are already stating that this increased acreage is a warning sign that curtailment will not work. According to H. L. Collins, agricultural statistician of the Department of Agriculture, the increase in wheat planting has been brought about by farmers who are not participating in the government control program but who are hoping to benefit by high prices next year due to artificial scarcity. And they are evidently of the opinion that high prices are of little benefit unless the farmer has the goods to sell. The best wheat yield that Kansas has had to boast of was nearly 240,000,000 bushels and this was raised in 1931 on 12,240,000 acres. This year, it is to be noted, the acreage is considerably greater than it was then so that if nature is kind the Kansas wheat crop in 1936 may go a long way toward defeating the plans of the AAA. This brings up another interesting point. If it develops that the crop curtailment program of the AAA is being defeated by the refusal of a great many farmers to go into it, and if the AAA is to be continued as Secretary Wallace high prices are of little benefit unless the farmer has the goods to sell.

This brings up another interesting point. If it develops that the crop curtailment program of the AAA is being defeated by the refusal of a great many farmers to go into it, and if the AAA is to be continued as Secretary Wallace says that it will be, then what is the next move? It will undoubtedly be, if the program is continued, to force the farmers to curtail their crops and plant what the government wants them to plant whether they want to or not. This sounds a great deal like Russianism, but it may be the outcome if the courts do not intervene. We have taken the first step. If coaxing fails, will there be federal compulsion? JAPAN AND RUSSIA It is of course more than a coincidence that, while European powers have their attention centered on the war between Italy and Ethiopia, and the trouble threatens to spread, the Japanese are apparently penetrating further and further into China. This is said to be one of the reasons why the British were not willing to go too far in risking a war with the Italians. As the Japanese get more and more active in China, there becomes greater danger of "border incidents," so-called between the Japanese and the Soviet Russians. It is even possible that such incidents, and the rivalry of Japan and Russia over China, may actually lead to war between the Island Empire and the Soviets. Such a war, if it actually comes, will subject Uncle Sam to another deluge of propaganda. In addition to the racial sentiment against the Japanese near our Pacific coast, we will have to reckon with the Russian activities in America. Every communist in the United States is an active propagandist against Japan, which is Russia's natural enemy just as much now as in the days of the Czar. War between Russia and Japan therefore would mean anti-Japanese demonstrations by Reds and their sympathizers in the United States against Japan, in an attempt to align the United States actively alongside Russia and to send our men and our money across the Pacific to fight for the communists. It is, therefore, very necessary that sound and sane Americans recognize these facts and be apprised of the situation if actual warfare comes in the Orient. We have had barrages of propaganda from Europe for years, and there will be another barrage on Oriental affairs in case real trouble occurs. There was never a better time for Uncle Sam to "keep his head" than the present. Our American internationalists want to plunge innocent old Uncle Sam into a political poker game with such nice straightforward performers as Stanley Baldwin, Sir Samuel Hoare and Pierre Laval. Wesley Methodist Ladies' Aid In Meeting Meeting in the church parlor Thursday afternoon, the ladies Missionary Society of the Wesley Methodist chuch held their first regular meeting this year.

White Temple Young People In Outing As a post-holiday outing Our American internationalists want to plunge innocent old Uncle Sam into a political poker game with such nice straightforward performers as Stanley Baldwin, Sir Samuel Hoare and Pierre Laval. All Turks have to give two per cent of their pay to be used for the purchase of army planes. This looks a good deal like a Doc Townsend military air plan instead of a hot air plan. A Tennessee merchant celebrated Christmas by wiping off the books $38,000 owed him by 7,000 customers as a Yule-tide gift. Which causes us to wonder how much he would have expected to collect if he hadn’t cancelled the accounts. Of course, if John Bull gets into a war with Italy we will expect King George to issue a famous call to arms something like this: "England expects every American to do his duty." It is said that the Department of Agriculture has developed some odorless cabbages. Wouldn’t it be a good thing if we could also perfect an odorless congressional investigation? Although the League of Nations started the talk about applying sanctions, if she doesn’t hurry Cordell Hull will beat her to it. About the only document we know of that has been as sadly neglected as the Democratic platform of 1932 is the Kellogg Pact. An 89-year-old Michigan man claims that he can still chin himself on a horizontal bar. But maybe his chin isn’t as far up as it used to be. It is said that in the anti-noise campaign in New York the city administration is going to compel the Federal workers in Central Park to shoot crap with rubber dice. One of our neighbors says he is eighty years old and feels as sound as 59 cents. "We Are Repairing the Government, Not Changing it."

EDISON HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING The Southern California Edison Company during 1936 will continue the co-operative, electrical industry business development program carried on throughout the past year, according to the announcement of R. E. Bacon, manager for the company in this territory. Mr. Bacon, who attended the company's annual meeting of officers, division and district managers and department heads at Los Angeles, where plans for the new year were set in motion, said that reports presented at the meeting showed that the past year had been one of accomplishment for the company in commercial activities. "All phases of our 1936 program are based on co-operation with all branches of the electrical industry and all users of electrical service," Mr. Bacon said. "Last year, due to the activities of electrical dealers in our Southern and Central California territory, aided by our own promotional efforts, sales of electrical equipment for household service showed improvement over the several preceding years." Dealer sales of electric refrigerators totaled some 35,000, nearly double the number sold in 1934. Records of sales of other electrical equipment for homes showed 5,400 ranges, 2,600 water heaters, 30,000 washing machines, 5,000 irons.

Petitions were circulation, the requisition of signatures secured supervisors, although injustice of the whole army compelled, under the law an election. This will taxpayers two or three dollars—money that needed for other purpure which the county must gratify the ambition of whose covetous eye has cast toward an office voters have bestowed other. The charge of incompetence against Judge Kuch absurd and put forward because it was necessary vide some excuse for that He has filled the office years and there has been plaint against him except part of such as had no grievance. Seldom has his been reversed by court, and frequently has complimented by member bar for his sound and rulings. Naturally he enemies.

The members of the Girls Missionary Society of the White Temple Methodist church had a delightful meeting last evening (Wednesday) when they were entertained at the home of Mrs. Frances Smith on East Chartres. A five-thirty pot-luck supper was served, with many different delectable dishes which were each one better than the last... if possible. Miss Ellen Collins lead the devotional hour, and her sister, Catherine presided over the brief business meeting, during which Miss Kathleen Demaree gave the treasurer's report. Mrs. Smith, who spent a number of years as a missionery in India gave a highly pleasing talk on her work there. She told of a young Tibetian girl who was sent to the missionery school to be educated as the First Lady of the Land. After attending for three years her guardians would not allow her to return as she was learning too much of the Christian religion and they wished her to be a true Buddhist. Mrs. Smith also showed photos of the children of the school, and displayed hammered metal ware made by the children. Mrs. Steward gave an interesting talk on the David and Margaret Home for Children at La Verne, California. This home was founded in 1910 and is owned by the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Southern California Conference. Thoroughly modern in every respect, the motto is "A home—not an institution." Following the Study Book period, "Women Under the Southern Cross" which was led by Joyce Williamson, who had chosen South America as her topic, the meeting was declared adjourned. THE HAY BURNERS People will drive a gas buggy 70 miles an hour to go to the races to see a horse make a mile in 1.35½. TAKING THE HOME FARMER FOR A RIDE A man high up in the councils of the nation took a swift broadside peek in over the radio at that reciprocal trade pact with Canada, and the other smaller countries falling into line. It looks like a twin brother to free trade. This being an export nation we must open the gates to cheap foreign products that undermine the home producer. You know the fundamental principles of the republican party stands for protection to home industries. Anyway the high up man who has fallen out with the New Deal, is quoted as saying that agriculture here is being asked to take the rap, in order to make it appear that prosperity has come out of hiding from around the corner. MAKING THE WHEELS GO 'ROUND It is said the machine is displacing the hand of labor in the march of progress. Here's where the Townsend Plan stands out as clean as a hound's tooth. It proposes to put a 2-cent tax on every dollar that revolves in business. That money goes to pay the pensioners who put the money right back into businesses in all walks of life. Editor Gazette: The election is over but bonds were defeated by Conservation and Flood Law just as necessary as ever; it is more than one way to that end. I have a plan that I wish to present to your readers their consideration. My this: To construct a series ervoirs along the Santa Ana River as there is many hundred of land adjacent to the river is of doubtful value for nature or for horticulture that could be purchased cheaply for this purpose. Time of flood or any time there was any considerable water flowing down it it could be diverted to these through canals coorporating that purpose and having to stop the flow when ourervoir is filled thus putting flooding of the land them. This could be done fraction of the money at the construction of the Priory and the Water so store sink into the ground and underground channels are saved to prove it. Now it can not be done because prominent engineer did The LETTER BOX AN UNAMERICAN LAW Legislators have in times past written many unwise laws into the statute books of the State, but perhaps the most asinine thing ever foisted upon the people is the California recall law. It was the intention of the law-makers, of course, that this act should only be resorted to for the speedy removal of a misfit official whose continuation in office was a menace to good government, but when it is invoked once for a good purpose it is employed a score of times to gratify the spite or ambition of some discontented man. While it is in existence no official is safe, however efficient or consciencious he may be, when an enemy is privileged under fictitious charge, to circulate a petition and promote a recall movement against him. The judge who, in discharge of his duty has punished offenders against the law may be removed from office by a movement conceived and engineered by these same offenders. Under its provisions a defeated candidate for office may rise up and demand another election to determine whether or not the voters really meant it when they cast their ballots against him, and the taxpayers must pay the expense of the special election. Voters of Anaheim township are just now being shown an example of the evil possibilities of this vicious law. A recall movement has been started against Justice of the Peace Charles Kuchel and it good for our county. WILL HUNT. DODGE - PLYMOUTH BONEY & BARNHART Phone 3407 328 W.
