We observe that 208 British and French Jups

Delayed about a month by extremely cold
weather; Nature is about to put on her annual show
During the next few weeks, if our weather prognosti-
eation doesu’t fail us, ft will take a very belligerent
individual to keep His mind upon the fighting that
is going on Afross the Atlantic ocean. Trees, bushes
and plants, apparently dead a short while back, will
burst into bloom. TL will give all of us a new Oul-
look and reoewed interest in life
Now that Vice-President Garper, an admitied
candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomina-
tion. has been joined by Postmaster-General James
A. Farley, the guessers are off again with prognosti-
cations and surmises as to President Roosevelt's in-
tention. If is said that Mr, Farley would not have
announced his positive candidacy had he not known
that the Prédldent does not inténd to run again. We
have no way of knowing what will happen, but we
still maintain that Mr. Roosevell can have the nom-
ination if he will accept it.
The demand ir Great Britain and France for a
more energetic prosecution of the war is fraught with
grave possibilities. It illustrates, perhaps, the ignor-
ance of the critics who do not seem fo understand
the difficuities that the democracies face in the press
ent struggle. Competent critics have expressed the
belief that Germany Is maintaining its superior aer-
ial position and there has not been enough fighting
to denlete the material reserves that Hitler had pre
pared for the wir. Against this opinion is the belief
that Hitler did not want a general war over the
Polish affair and that his military experts warned
him that Germany cotild not stand a long war. Just
now it Is impossible to know what is the truth. Pive
or fef vears after the war ends we will be able 10
know what the facts are,
From now on until the votes in November fire
counted we will costings to hear that the farmer is
being regimented: his Hberties interfered with and
his management of his lands taken out of his hands.
TRegimentation, though a favorite seare word with
the randidates for the G. ©. P. homination, fails to
frighten the grain belts, the great source of farming
that would be most likely to react to any harmful
government interference. Recently Congressman
Francis Case, Republican [rom South Dakota, de-
livered a speech in the House of Representatives on
the soll conservation program. He jeered at the idea
that the farmers were goose-stepping at the order
of ths Agricultural Department and told that the
grongers themselves first voled whether they wanted
plan and then went ahead themselves organizing
the work. Said this Republican congressman: “It is
working in almost 900 different areas across the
country on more than 200000000 acres. It is con-
trolling erosion. Bat the way it is working is the im-
portant thing. Instead of walking on to a farmer's
land and telling him that he will have to do thus and
80, the farmer himself is enlisted to do the biggest
pat, of the job bimselt."

A COW STORY
Here's a story to remember the next time
someone offers to let vou in “on the ground foor™ of
Al easy-money stock proposition
good
Tenn men who were financiers chipped in ten dol
each and bought a fine cow that gave ten gal.
of milk every day. The milk was divided at night
and each man received one gallon as his share
Soon the neighbors far and near heard aboul
wonderful and sald to one another: “Think
of getting a whole gallon of milk every day. What a
wonderful return on a $10 fuvestment! I wish I had
a share in her”
When this talk was repeated to the! tenn men
they had a meeting, and one of them sald: “Let us
give these people what they want. Our shares in the
cow cost us $10 each, and we can sell other shares
at the same price.”
Bo they went to a printer and oblained one thou
sand sheets of paper bearing the legend: "One Share
in the Cow.” They then sold five hundred of these
shares at $10 each, which brought them $5.000, and
divided the other five hundred among themselves as
their reward for being smart
Each man of the tern now had fifty-one shares,
woeieas in the beginning each had but one, But one
of the ten began to worry. “Look here,” he said,
“every fellow who bought a share in this cow will
expect a gallon of milk tonight, and the cow only
gives ten galions, When the milk is divided into one
thousand and ten parts, these new shareholders
won't get a spoonful. Shares will drop 0 nothing.
We'd better unload while we can.”
Bo the ten men went out on the sireels to find
investors and each of them sold the fifty shares thal
had been awarded to him. and thus they obtained a
second five thousand doliers to divide among them
But now, night was drawing near, and again one of
the ten began to worry.
“There will be a row at milking time,” he said
“Hasten abroad and persuade each of the sharehold-
ers 10 sign a proxy-—which is a joker, authorizing
you fo cast, as you think best, the vote to which his
share entitles him. Then return with the proxies and
we shall do some voting”
Al "wilizht, the men met al the barn, and in
their hands were ene thousand signed proxies to
represent the absent shareholders and the ten Were
entitled to vote In their own right, for each still held
his origingl share. “Now,” sald the one who did the
talking, “we must reorganize. This company needs a
President, a Treasurer and eight Vice Presidents.
That gives each of us a Job. And since there are ten
of us, and the cow gives ten gallons, it is moved and
seconded that each of us receives a salary of one gal.
lon of milk per day. All in favor say ‘Aye.’ ” The mo-
tion carried without a dissenting vote.
AND THEY MILKED THE COW!
