Menomonie Man Says Farmer Should Get Pound for Butter (Dunn County News) Five dollars a pound for butter is suggested by Frank Stewart of Me nomonie in his communication appearing under the "Voice of the People" in The Milwaukee Journal, In which he compares working hours of government employes with those of the farmer. Here is Stewart's com munication: 'I claim that President Roosevelt is bankrupting the men that are trying to be self-sustaining. I am a farmer. I bought the land and cleared the same and made a farm out of wild land.

And I am well satisfied, If the Roosevelt brigade would only let us alone. First, we farmers must work 12 hours a day, which includes he chores. We also have the chores to do on Sunday. About 75 hours a week, while the man with nothing works only 30 hours a. week! Also the aforesaid man might be on relief and not working at all.

Now when this man rides past our farmers In his Ford V-8 and waves his hand, we are proud of his courtesy. However, if we were paid as much per hour as he gets you would pay $5 a pound for butter. And I would like to, ask, what will become of the United States when we are obliged to stop and the government places worthless sticks that never would or never will do anything in our place! They are doing that right now." (Continued from Page 1.) "sit-down" I'rikes would be called whether Gov. Harold O. Hoffman "likes it cr not."

(UP) Pain is a part of life and cannot be avoided, says Dr. Tracy J. Putnam, professor of neurology, at Harvard college. The need for pain is a very common human trait," he says. "Psychologists point out that it has three sources, probably not entirely distinct.

One Is that pains and pleasures are so closely mingled that on3 may even be confused with the other, or they may even be Indistinguishable. The cecond great source of a need for pain is as penance for misdeeds, real or fancied. "A feeling of guilt or anxiety may be one of the heaviest burdens that life can inflict and sometimes physical or mental suffering is felt to mitigate it. Finally, one person may use his own pain to inflict remorse upon or exact sympathy from another." Much pain can be avoided or mitigated by painstaking work, he says, but it Is a part cf the pattern of the universe and there always will be pain as long as living creatures occupy th's earth. COMMUNISTS GAIN IN FRANCE, VIEW Figures Show Party Increased 200,000 in Past Year PARIS.

(INS) The Communist Party in France has gained 200,000 members in the past year, or since the establishment of the Blum "Pop' ular Front" government, with Com munist support, "ThIs was the statement "of Maurice Thorez, party leader, to the-annual party conference, recently held In the town hall at Montreuil, a suburb of Parts, With only 80,000 members In 1935, the party, ended 1936 with 280,000 men and women enrolled, xnorez toio an audience which hailed his dec laration with raised fists and -singing of the Internationale, And a great part of the membership is distributed among the workmen of the key war industries of France. "Reds" Factory Majority Typical of the domination the par ty might exercise over French factor ies in case of war is the number of ito adherents in the Renault automobile armored cars and motors for tanks are built Here, said Thorez, there are 6,100 Communists and sympathizers. Meanwhile, he asserted the bulk of thenotheirfactorles of Paris region have from 1,000 to 2,000 members or adherents each andL indicating the number of sympathisers not actually enrolled on the party lists, he pointed out that the Humanite, organ of the Central Committee, now has a circulation of 40,000 on weekdays and more than 500,000 on Sundays. Thorez' speech, the most important of the national conference, laid down a program which the Communists will demand be followed by the Blum government. Demand Larger Taxes Internally, the party wants an Increase In direct taxes on wealth and a reduction in Indirect taxes on sales; tighter application of "social laws" such as the forty hour week and control of prices, rising since the devaluation of the franc.

With the statement "the native population of the colonies has confi dence in the party, which seeks their liberation," Thorez touched upon the Communist propaganda which antl red sources insist the party has con sistently carried on in the French possessions," without government in terference. Also regarding external policy, Thorez deplored the non-intervention policy in Spain on which the Communists recently deserted the government and abstained from voting in the chamber. Because of the continuance of this policy, Thorez declared, the danger of European war is now closer than it was in July. Habits of Shrimp Are Being Studied CHARLESTON. S.C.-(AP) Three lone shrimp of the thousands of pounds that are netted along the coast of South Carolina are preserved in formaldehyde in a little shed on Adger's wharf, awaiting the orders of the United States bureau of fish eries.

The three shrimp were tagged by the bureau and released in waters near the Virginia Capes and along the North coast. John F. McLaughlin, manager of the Adger's wharfcompany, is local agent for the bureau in connection with its study of the migratory habits of shrimp. He pays fifty cents apiece for shrimp which bear tags and twenty-five cents for tags alone if the shrimp is missing. By comparing the number on the tag with the corresponding record in its office, the bureau learns some-, thing of the habits of the shrimp.

The bureau records the date it liberates the shrimp and where it was liberated, its sex and whether or pot it was roe, as Well as its size. An examination of the specimen after its capture reveals how fast it traveled, something of its habitat and when and whee the eggs are laid. been reached since Friday and Saturday.

FOR RELIEF President Expected to Ask Appropriation of That Amount By LYLE C.

WILSON WASHINGTON -(UP) President Roosevelt shortly will propose to Congress a recovery and relief ap propriatlon of more than COO for the next fiscal year. The appropriation Is expected by some obcervers to be about $1,500,000,000. When that figure is revealed to the country, It will complete the 1938 fiscal year picture incompletely pre sented in the president's. Jan I budgets message. Some date in March probably will be chosen for the special message asking the relief appropriation.

Recovery and relief costs remain the unknown quantity in 1938 fiscal year calculations. It is not at all certain tlutt the unqnown quantity will be fully, revealed even after the president has sent his appropriation request to Congress next month, There may be further appropriations next winter. Difficulty the admin lstratlon experiences in estimating recovery and relief costs is indicated by appropratlons for the current or 1937 fiscal year which will end ab4 midnight next June 30. Sought Farther Information When Mr. Roosevelt sent his 1937 budget to Congress in January, 1936, he made no request for recovery and relief funds, explaining that further information was being obtained upon which to base his estimates.

On March 18, 1938, Mr. Roosevel asked Congress to appropriate for recovery and relief in the 1937 fiscal year a twelve-month period which began July 1, 1936. Congress provided the funds. Last September, six months after asking Congress to finance-1937 fiscal year relief, the president issued a supplementary budget statement, It foreshadowed White House doubt that $1,500,000,000 would be suffi cient. The president reiterated in September that his estimate as of the previous March had been predicated on hope that indsutry would "reduce substantially the number of those out of work." He explained, fur ther, that the 1936 drought had been both unforeseen and expensive to the Treasury.

But he said another survey of unemployment needs and drought requirements was underway and that if additional 1937 fiscal year appropriations were found ne cessary 'it is confidently expected thatany-sucbr-reque5ts-willamount to less than $500,000,000 But that estimate proved to be low and on Jan. 11 Mr. Roosevelt asked Congress for $790,000,000 to pay re covery and relief costs from Feb. 1 to June' 30 when the 1937 fiscal year will end. Some of that money will go for Ohio valley flood relief which, like 1936 drought relief, could not be foreseen.

To Balance Budget? Mr Roosevelt promised in budget message last January to achieve practical balance of the budget In the 1938 fiscal year, which begins next July 1. He promised absolute balance in the fiscal year 1939, The 1938 budget would balance, he said, except for a $40,000,000 statu tory debt retirement item. But the question of balance or no balance depends- almastentirelyon -recovery and relief needs and appropriations. As the budget now is set up the president could spend $1,537,123,000 for recovery and relief in the 1938 fiscal year and still balance his budget, except for statutory debt retire ment. Mr.

Roosevelt estimates 1938 fiscal year receipts will be 607,000. Without including any figure whatever for recovery and relief he estimated expenditures would be $6,158,000,000. He says, therefore, that he has available for recovery and relief needs the surplus of re ceipts over expenditures, which amounts approximately to 000,000. Could Spend More If necessary he could spend 000,000 that figure without putting his 1938 budget more than technically out of balance. The $401,000,000 Is the sum prescribed for annual statutory, dabt retire ment.

If pressed for relief funds the president could conform to the statute by buying and retiring federal bond9 in that amount while at the same time Issuing new bonds in the same sum. The law would have been complied with but the net national debt Would not have been reduced. The two figures together provide a bit more than the 000,000 sum with which the president Hungarian Miners End Four-Day Strike FUENFKIRCHEN, Hungary. Feb. 26.

(UP) Miners in the Thomen pit, on the fourth day of their sit down hunger strike, came to the surface today, abandoning their strike. Hunger and thirst forced a sur render. TWenty-three men had broken away from their fellows In. the deep pit and reached the surface.

Specific Physical and Mental Standards Required By MILTON HARKER LOS ANGELES (INS) Watching their weight more nervously than movie, stars, thirteen embryo airline hostesses were In town today after a flight to see whether they can take it. Pretty and trim, alike In figure as peas in a pod, they had blazed their first air mail from Kansas City. After a few days of seeing the sights, they were to fly back to the midwest to take final examinations. These will determine whether they are to receive a regular run on one of TWA's giant transport planes. Not one of the girls weighed more than 115 pounds.

That is the limit. Producers may worry when a favored star loses svelte lines. Air line of fl-cia's do not. They may demand a hostess have every attribute except dramatic ability but even that won't offset plumpness. A girl loses; her waistline and she loses her job.

That's a mere item in the safety program. More fat means less gasoline. 'Pleasing Appearance' Essential Airline passengers need not wonder why every hostess is good to look at. The regulations specify they must be oi pleasing appearance One of TWA's very special provi sions is that applicants and they came in droves must be registered nurses. But that Isn't enough.

They must not be more than five feet, four Inches tali. Twenty-five is the max imum age limit the average is twen ty-three Even with desire to aave weight, they are not anxious for their hostesses to weigh under an even hundred pounds. Hostesses generally work a ten hour flight. A frail girl might not stand the strain, though they work no more than 110 hours a Must Always Smile There is much work to be done for fourteen passengers in ten hours. A hostess must always smile.

If they lose the smile they lose the Job too. Passengers may get fidgety, they must be comforted. Thejr must be tucked in on night flights. Their pillows must be adjusted. One wants an orange and another a glass of water.

There are meals to be arranged. Butsometimes through It all, -a hostess gains weight. That was the main topic of conversation of the thirteen on their way here, All of them have been- through the TWA school. They have bcerrtatrght everytnmg tney should know to do a good Job. Then the airline had.

to find out how they' would take to flying. There wasn't a one of them who wasn't thrilled to the tips pf her tiny toes. No Interest in Movie Stars They had another distinction. They were among the few stunning girls approaching the world's movie capital who were not worried about meeting the handsome gentlemen of the silver screen.
