t A half-century of service to rural America is observed by the post office 3
department in October, for in 1896 three routes were established in West ’
« Virginia to inaugurate the federal system of rural free delivery. By way of }‘
* marking the anniversary, Mary E. Garner, Rochester, Mich., greets Rex .
! Dolph, of the RJF.D. service, with home-made doughnuts guaranteed to cause
* a minor interruption in this courier’s "swift completion of his appointed
rounds." Approximately 26,000,000 Americans are served by R.F.D., and v/ith
U. S. mail traveling by skis, dog-sleds, ice-boats and snow shoes, Carrier
Dolph gets there faster in his new Chevrolet.

FARMING IN MEXICO ... Hand labor, poor rocky soil and light
crops, seemed to be the general thing in Mexican farming. This
Mexican and his son are shown working the field with their own oxen
team. No attempt has been made to remove the rocks from the soil.

studying electric welding possibilities in the southern republic.
ATOMIC BOMB GOAT RECEIVES BLOOD TRANSFUSION . . .
Survivor of the Bikini atomic bomb blast, travel-weary goat, received
a blood transfusion aboard the USS Burleson at the Washington naval
yards. Pigs, rats and goats which survived the blast have now been
returned, destined for study by scientists, who seek to determine the
effects of radioaetivity on humans.
Mugwump — Ee One Now
nyrUGWUMP, in American political
*** slang, is a name applied to any
Independent voter: And Mugwump
Is what every good American had
.better be this November if he wishes
to prevent his country from accel
erating the downhill slide which it
is now in the process of taking. In
other words, hidebound Democrats
must vote Republican If their own
party candidate is one of those
backed by well known Left wing and
subversive elements of this country:
and dyed in the wool Republicans
must vote for a Democrat if he is
opposed by a “fellow traveler" Re
publican.
Practically all of us now know
the reason for shortages in near
ly every product we attempt to
purchase. We know that sub
versive elements in many labor
unions have usurped control
from the American elements,
and that these unions have so
checkerboarded and arranged
the current strikes that essen
tial parts for various products
are denied the manufacturers
with the result that stocks of al
most finished goods are piling up
in great quantities and laying
the foundation for some sort of
fearful economic collapse. We
know that this is thoroughly,
carefully, and brilliantly planned
by enemies of our country, both
here and from abroad. Most of
the moving spirits in this coun
try are foreign born, with no
more interest in the United
States than Americans have in
Southern Rhodesia. We know
that these men are even sacri
ficing themselves in order to
bring our country to such a state
of collapse, that in the debacle
which may follow, their particu
lar creed (Communism) can
probably take over.
This Is all common knowledge,
and yet we say—“What can we do
about it?” That is a very stupid
question. Let us grant that there is
nothing at the moment we can do
about it, but in this coming Novem
ber there is everything we can do
about it. We can vote right out of
office every man suspected of having
any association with the enemies
who are attacking us: and we can
vote into office men whom we know
are running on a platform of Amer
ica for Americans.
It may sound trite to say that this
coming November election could be
our last opportunity to vote: But if
we put back into power those men—
now in Washington and in some of
our state governments—who have no
Intention whatsoever of controlling
the elements Which are so viciously
attacking our economy—the next two
years may see our system destroyed
and cur freedom taken from us: Be
cause many precedents prove that
even free men will finally demand
“government control” if conditions
become unendurable.
What a heartless trick the non
voter, or the thoughtless voter, will
be playing on his, or her, children
this coming November!
