EDITORIAL
What some fellows will do to get into the headlines. A
student at F. & M. ate six live gold fish and did he get pub-
licity. ;
After six years of recovery it seems pretty hard to under-
stand unemployment figures remaining at record peaks,
and relief expenditures at all-time highs.
The people of America can have their choice of socialism
or democratic private enterprise—under the American sys-
tem of free choice. But they can’t have both at the same
time.
From the testimony in a Philadelphia murder trial it has
developed that about seventy people were poisoned for the
insurance money. All the bodies are to be exhumed for fur-
ther evidence.
The annual report of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, shows that in the last years commercial banks, in-
surance companies, savings banks and other polls of capital
which formerly directed their funds mainly into private in-

vestments, have put about 17 billion dollars into federal
securities, compared to about $1,100,000,000 into corporate |
securities. Too much politics has stopped normal develop-
ment in its tracks. Steady jobs come from industry and!
not politicians.
Steady Jobs Come From Industry
The winner of the $50,000 first prize in a recent movie
quiz contest, says her first act will be to buy a new home.
“This may be her first act, but let's hope she doesn’t spend
it all, for next she will give a large share of it to the tax
collector.
Broke At Sixty-Five
The majority of men who have money at 35 are stone
broke at 65. Business failures, bad investments, illness and
other unexpected cataclysms tell the tragic story.
The majority of these men could have enjoyed finan-
cially independent old ages, instead of having to depend on
charity or the bounty of relatives—had they put aside money
at the time when earning power was at its height, in some
plan.
Only charity! can help the indigent old whose savings
have disappeared. We can witness these pitiful examples—
and guide our own course accordingly.
Education Down On The Farm
The farmer of the future will be far better prepared to
grapple with the problems he must face than his prede-
cessors. Fe ah HA
The reason for that is education. Farm organizations, no-
tably the agricultural marketing cooperatives, have given
great attention to farm youth. Young men and women who
look forward to careers in agriculture are given specialized
training not only in land utilization and the raising of crops
and livestock, but in those economic matters that so vitally
affect farm income. When the time comes for them to
take over, they'll be ready.
The Rails Make Records
The speed of passenger trains has been developed in the
United States to a far greater degree than in any other
country. That announcement doesn’t come from spokesmen
for our American roads—but from the English trade jour-
nal. the Railway Gazette.
The review discloses that the American railroads operate
18.247 miles of daily runs scheduled at 60 miles or more per
hour. This is more than half of the entire world’s mile-a-
minute mileage and is an increase of almost 11,000 miles
over 1937. And in 1932, seven short years ago, American
mile-a-minute runs totaled only 2,022 miles.
vo
More Lawless Laws
In a hurried effort to “pass things” a few years ago, many,
many new laws were passed but about the half of them
were mostly “crap” as is proven by decisions of the supreme
courts.
At Pittsburgh last week the Supreme Court ruled uncon-
stitutional four sections of the Workmen's Compensation
Act. Ta LS
At Washington Monday the Supreme Court ruled that
salaries of all State and local Government officials was sub-
ject to Federal Income Tax. In this same decision the Court
also announced that local taxing authorities might levy upon
the salaries of Federal officials and employees.
When Taxes Exceed Profits
Taxes amount to more than net profits in many American
business enterprises. A striking example of this is dis-
closed in a statement recently released by the National As-
sociation of Food Stores.
These stores make their profits in pennies but have lo pay
their taxes in dollars. Last year, taxes paid by the member

FARMER SAYS
RUNNING WATER
BRINGS FARM PROFITS
Electric water systems help far-
mers to make money. They are
also an important factor in raising
the farm standard of living. That
is why the electric water system
is usually the first electrical im-
provement, with the exception of
electric lights, that the farmer in-
stalls when electric service becomes

available, according to
Dexter, Chairman of the
Water Systems Council.
Murray Wigsten, an up-to-the-
minute farmer near Poughkeepsie,
N. Y. presents convincing proof of
these statements. ‘Running water
means more money to the farmer,
more milk per cow, more eggs per |
hen, more apples per tree, more beef
per steer, more straw-berries and
raspberries, more vegetables from
the garden.
“On my farm, which is not large,
we keep 20 cows and 400 to 500 hens.
We grow crops to feed them and
some sell. With modern
one man does all the
g
to our
equipment,
work,
“But suppose we take away the
water system—what then- It would
take five hours, every day includ-
ing Sundays—35 hours a week—just
to pump and carry the water. That
is a whole week's work to some
minds. But suppose it is only half a
week's work. These farm men cost,
with privileges, about twenty dol-
lars a week. That would be ten
dollars a week to pump and carry
water! Forty dollars a month! For-
ty dollars a month would buy the
complete electrical equipment for
any farm!
“That isn’t all. My cows give 15
per cent more milk because they
have water in the barn, and the
hens lay more eggs with water al-
ways before them. I don’t know so
much about hogs and beef, but
common sense tells me plenty of
water will add plenty of pounds to
them also.
“As a farmer I would like to sug-
gest that more than water comes in-
to a farmer’s system when he takes
that first cool drink from his new
electric water system. He gets an
inspiration to modernize and elec-
trify that no other appliance he ever
{buys will bring him. It pays him
big profits, and it makes the step
look easy to him”, Mr. Wigsten con-
cludes.
