( IJNTON, S. OCTOBER 2, 1930 It was mighty nice of Aunt Minervy to brag on me so. She said I was a very plump baby and except for a few warts on my hands and face from playing with frogs in the yard, and my very white hair, I would have won out at any baby show in the country if anybody had ever thought of hold ing such a thing back then. Of course I hud a face full of freckles and my head was a little flat, but most intelli gent babies (bom around the OOs) were flat-headed. DRS.

F*re.ss eloquently penned the reacUons of an editor to a' cel lain type of reader’s letter in the following recent editorial: .Juit when we had thought all our ll•^llblc^ were over, for conventions make lots of trouble for a newspaper, we received the following letter; "1 want to let you know that you should not send the paper any more. Yes, folks — from what Aunt Mi-' nervy said while visiting us 3 weeks longer than she first told us she in-, tended to stay, I was a very fine in fant, and I have not outgrown all of that fineness yet, so she said when . she took the breast and liver (and left' me the neck and buck) at dinner last I Wednesday. This was the fir.st encour- [ aging report ever submitted to me j concerning my early sweetne.ss and darlingness.

We can’t blame the parents for hid ing the paper if it makes tb^eir daugh ter sick, but we are in anything but a happy mood today.. This is the sever est blow we have ever experienced. We have been called almost everything, all the had names, and now and then a good one.

ELECTRIC • tlifw 75rrrr«i $54.50 KF.SSIA IN THE WHEA'l MARKET The theory of the Soviet govcru-| rient of Russia .seems to be that if fvery economic institution in the world can lie dcstro.vcd, in some mys- ttrious way the “common people” will benefitted thereby. It is l>ased on- the old Marxian Socialist idea that hu man nature is essentially honest, ca- j .tide and industriou.s anti that, given p chance at his own share of the world’s wealth, every man would keep h. s hands off the other fellow’s share, do his own share of the world’s work. i. r>d all would be happy. The theory is as wrong-headed as its author. Everyliody who knows an.v- thing about human nature knows that it i.s not the way humanity is consti tuted. Everyboily who knows anything ariout economics knows that the way to build up prosperity is not to begin by tearing down the foundations of in- dastry and business. But the little .So- c'alist clique which Just now domi nates the millions of unintelligent Russian peasants—dominates them by force-r-is trying to tear down the world’s economic foundations in the hope of making everybody who works fu dissatisfied that they will all be came revolutionists and Communists. That is clearly the motive behind the Russian government’s effort to depress the price of wl#sat in the United States. By “short selling’-’ in the Chicago market, the secretary of agrichlture states, the Soviet govern ment has “beared" the wheat market: to the financial detriment of every vbeat grower.

She gave me much information about my.self and my relative.s and if I had the time and the tools. I could build a first-class family tree from her statements. To begin with, she said 1 was the sweetofit baby she Pver saw. Honey bees and flies followed me everywhere 1 was toted. 1 never cried but 3 or 4 hours a day and Just a teeny-weeny bit more at night. When I got hun gry. I was Just the cutest thing in the worl^l, so .Auntie said: I w-ouid put my 2 big toes in my mouth and nurse them till something better was of fered. I had learned to crawl fairly well by the time I was 3 years old, and was walking all around in a box when 1 was only 4 years and 11 months of age. I took up drinking buttermilk at 6 and pa had to bu^ 2 extra cows that diddent give nothing else but but- tnl I w, tennilk, I wore dresses till I was 7 and then took up wearing shirts and they finally got britches on me when I was nearly 13.
