TITO THE NEOSHO TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1934 JDatered tfce At mall matter PUBLISHED WJBUKLY One Tear in Advance fl.BO What is the difference, if any, between subsidizing the steamship company with a contract far above the regular cost of transportation or subsidizing the manufacturer with a high protective tariff, and subsidizing the farmer with a processing tax on his wheat or hogs? The railroads, ship lines, the sugar industry, beets and cane, hides and many ether things have been subsidized for years, but they seem to think this thing of subsidizing the general farmer is something different. For our part, we never have believed in the subsidy, but it looks to us just as fair for one as for the other. 60 YEARS AGO June 11, 1874 Circuit court will convene with 38 state, 81 trial and 18 return cases on the docket.

Also the Those who are inclined to think that things are no better than they were before Roosevelt was elected should forget the drouth and the results of the World War and other things that could not be helped and think of some of the beneficial things that have been done. For instance, think of the bank situation Just before Roosevelt was inaugurated and compare with present conditions. Banks had been fafling and the people were withdrawing tteir money. All banks were closed by executive order and were re-opened only after they were proven by careful examination to be in sound condition.

Then a guarantee bank deposit law was enacted. The result: no more bank failures and people are re- depositing their money without fear of losing it, and the banks -are again open for sound loans 'Another instance; Thousands of farms under mortgage at a high rate- of interest have been saved to the owners by governmentj having been summoned as wit- loans at a low rate of interest, nesses in the Hudson trial which The relief work that has been came up before Squire Price.

The berries were selling for $8.00 per crate, he said.

Mrs. W. W. Brown, Miss Cecil Moore and Mrs. H.

NOTHING STILTED ABOUT WHITE HOUSE PARTIES THESE DAYS "Small-Tcnvners" Enjoy Natural Unforced Good Time at Reception for Press By FoUst Roper Washington, June inquires the Brunette, "does one say when one meets Mrs. Roosevelt?" "I don't know," I reply. The Brunette and I are In, a UK line of guests ascending the tfairs-to the East Room of the White House.

The event is a reception for members of the press, their wives, girl friends and husbands and beaux (there are some fifty women writers here). But it is so easy. Mrs. Roosevelt smiles and any self-consciousness we small-towners may have, fades away. We say, "How do you do," as we shake hands p.nd move on to meet Mrs.

Garner. each White House invitation. One ia for display on the windshield ct one's car to secure entrance to the grounds, and the other is produced at the door. One enters the building at the end of the cast wing and passes down a long corridor to the cloak room, where a small army of servants stands ready to take hats and wraps. The White House is all ablaze with light as our cab swings up Pennsylvania avenue and it is difficult, somehow, to realize we have been the guests of the Roosevelts.

The excitement over, the Brunette slumps on the seat. "Wasn't the food delicious?" she ir- rtlevantly asks. "Swell," I reply. Mrs. Roosevelt sure is a good cook!" BILL ON SILVER PASSES HOUSE WASHINGTON, May LOCALS Miss Mary Helen Empson, 113 C.

K. JKKFRIKS ANNOUNCKS FOR COUNTY CLERK done and is still being done has saved thousands of people from near starvation, and the- CWA work has given work to thousands more who would otherwise have seen the "wolf at the door." And above all things, remember tae deplorable condition the country was in, partly by our own folly, and do not expect that we could possibly recover in a year or even in several years. About half the people, sometimes more than half, are dissatisfied with the way the government is run. It is so now and it has always been that way. We are nearly all criticising what is being done, but did you ever stop to figure out what a problen those in authority have in the management of the government and what you would" do if you bad the authority? The men who work by the day want higher wages, and the men who have the management of business must make greater profits so as to pay dividends; the producer wants to sell his stuff for more money and the consumer wants to buy for less.

The fellow with no taxes to pay wants the community to vote bonds to do building that he may have a job but the farmer who is already paying all the taxes he can stand, doesn't want any more bonds vote-1 because he will have to pay higher taxes. President Roosevelt and those at the head of the government are doing the best they know how to bring the country out of a great depression and they are confronted with those same problems. The wage earners want higher wages, and some of them are striking be- ciu.sci the owners of factories do nc think they can afford to pay mure; foo'l and clothing prices aro too low to suit the producers 1m' too high to suit those who l-uy. Something is wrong with the adjustment of things and we put the blame on the government. Could we do better if we had the authority? It can't be done to taat everybody, but possibly we are moving along toward the goal of the Golden Rule.

Hudson is held for the killing of Fohn Goodykoontz. He was bound over to await the action of the grand jury. Residents living along the Big Spring branch are complaining of the polluting of the water by those who have dummped refuse in the basin of the spring.

TEN YEARS AGO 12, 1924 A total of 145 cars of strawberries have been shipped from Necsho this season, and the average price will amount to $3.00 per crate.

Oh, isn't he fine looking?" I turn, and sitting there in a large arm chair is this man who has more charm than Clark Gable and Dick Powell combined.

So we soak in the smooth music and stroll through the great irst house of the land. We sit awhile in the Red, Blue and Green rooms. We drift out on he south portico where lemonade is served.
