Throw Out the Life Line
Farm Belief, a la Government, is
about 'J months old, but the poor
thing ain't able to sit nlone yet. He
doesn't know what to do with all ot
that GOO million dollars his Uncle
Sam placed to his credit the very day
,the stork left him at the While House
hut he's still thinking,
So far, only about 2GO thou-and
dollars have ix-en put to any use at
all, and that went for salaries and
office equipment and secretaries and
telegrams and entertaining visitors.
Hut nearly 2 dollars were expended
last week by the boatfd broadcasting
the glad tidings that if the farmers
will put their stulf in a good warehouse
and get a pretty little lithographed
receipt for same, and send
it to the nearest office of the "system,"
they will entertain a request
for a loan equal to 80 per cent of
the value of such corn, cotton, oats
or hogs that the said farmers mlgh.i
- own.
Farm Relief is running true to
form in that it is already a political
plum which the politicians have 1m. gun
to fuss about. In order to
strengthen their hold on their respective
constituency back home, tnt
senators and congressmen from the
grain belt and howling and cussing
because the cottqn producer is nursing
at the bung-hole, and those from
the .cotton belt swear that all of the
help is going to the wheat and corn
farmers, when, as a matter of fact,
neither farmer is getting any help
from any source, and Wall street is
still fixing the price of what the
sweat of his brow has brought forth.
When any political group becomes
so pious and so considerate and so
liberal and so thoughtful that it will
work earnestly and honestly for the
welfare of the men who plow and
hoe and reap and sow, I say it will
be time for us to get ready for the
millennium because then the
wasp will be sleeping with the billy
goat and the adder will be the baby's
pet. There has never been a
time that good collateral would not
serve the purpose of fetching forth
a loan, and the only advantage that
Mr. Hoover's jH?t bill has to offer :s
a slightly lower discount rate than
the Federal Reserve might Ik* using
at the time. In other words, Farm
Belief will ultimately prove itself to
be a big money-lending piece of machinery.
and that's all.
The Farm Relief plank in the platform
<>f hot h parties was full of
knot holes and splinters. It was used
as a bait and we bit. The bill was
etiae'ed. and ever since it became law
practically all commodities have declined
in price. Of course, the citrus
folk a: e getting a little bit better
price for their stuff, thanks to the
Mediterranean fly, and the potato
grower is reaping a slight harvest,
and the potato bug and drought are
being blamed for that, but Messrs.
Supply & Demand are still bosses of
the fleecy staple and the biscuit and
corn-dodger world. But we farmers
are indeed grateful for those radio
programs.
I am inclined to think that Mr.
Mellon pulled a bone in changing the
size and texture of our currency.
Why, this new money is made out
of such sorry paper that it woars
out by the time the fourth instalment
agent collects it. Of course, I have
not handled any of it so far except
a few Is and 2s, but I understand
that the 5s and 10s are made out of
the same kind of cheap paper. If
he saves Unci# Sam 960 million dolT1
. - .
larfl a year, he's got to save it o*>
something besides the manufacturing
of hin currency. And the Bize don't
appeal to nobody enither.
(Cotton Letter
The tttortus and cyclones and tain
of U weeks ago were very bearish,
and as the cotton crop was damaged
only about 15 per cent, spots have
not yet fylly recovered from the decline.
Southern selling continues to
hold December down around 18.80,
but the bulls don't yet know what the
southerners are selling, unless it it
their mules. The textile indi^ttry is
not so promising at present, but as
soon as the Communists gain control
of the mills, an average man cun be
shot for II dollars, including the cost
of the pistol. The woodle hug i> injuring
the crop in Japan. This hug
climbs the stalks and bites off the
bolls and then comes down and sleeps
between the locks and that's the last
of said locks. And then ther's Wall
street and the discount rate and the
stock gambles; so look for lower
prices. < i
Dearo teecber: Don't whup my
Willie no more as that is what I am
for. Your job is to teach him. Wnen
he hit you with them apple seeds, he
was flinging them at the windovu, and
he was liabull to make a mistake as
he lis left-handed. He is stubborn
and lazy just like his daddy, but lie
ain't never' been accused of fighting
back at nobody, so after this?you
can count on me doing all of the
whopping as no woman is big enough
to cut the blood out of my younguns
as long as I can set aloan.
His ma.
Whatever became of that guy that
was rooting the goober up Pike's
Peak about 4 months ago? Guess he
got what he was after, advertising,
and then he ate the goober and went
home. The world is full of fools. A
fellow came thru our town not long
ago hopping. He said he was hopping
from New Orleans to New York.
Billie Jones sicked his bull dog on
him when he passed their house, and
he swapped from hopping to flying.
A girl was hiking from somewhere
to somewhere else last week, giving
away chewing gum samples. Her
skirt was so short I couldn't tell
whether she had on a ruffle or an
excuse. She didn't lack over 15 cents
being nude. Clothes don't, make the
man, but no clothes seems to make
the woman.... popular.
After the farmers had disposed of
all their tobacco at low prices, the
cigarette manufacturers raised tinprice
of their "smokes" 40 cents per
thousand, thus making it necessary
for our hoys and girls and men and
wonn-n to fork over 500 thousand additional
cash per day for the joy of
puffing. Wall street saw the joke in
.. minute and all tobacco stocks li?ti-d
on the exchange advanced from 10
to 15 doyyars per share. Hurrah for
Farm Relief.
A Catholic priest and the pastor of
