Pursuit was begun at YORK, Nov. 13--Business men, editors, politicians, many others asks: "What will President Roosevelt do in his second term; what will the world say when that term ends?" The President probably asks exactly the same questions, and would be much obliged to anyone that might answer. There are difficult problems and puzzles; the commerce department reports "only 9,000,000 unemployed in America at England on the other hand, which really had a big war, reports employment "above the 1929 That is one of the puzzles.

You are reminded that, in 1933, there were 15,000,000 idle in the United States, so "only 9,000,000" is a little encouraging.

In Licking county, more than a hundred thousand Americans, farmers from many states, gathered to see 18 young farmers compete in the corn-husking championship.

He asks why that publication announced that Roosevelt certainly would be defeated. The senator's suggestion of a "wicked, costly and apparently dishonest performance" is too emphatic. The Literary Pi- gest poll probably was sincere, but it did not go far below the surface.

It did not reach, for instance, the half a million suddenly added to the registration in New York city--the half million were not income tax payers or telephone subscribers. Following the fashion and obedient to law which forbids great industrial concerns to save up for emergencies or bad times, General Motors raising pay of its men 5 cents an hour, distributes among them a Christ- rnan bonus fund of 10 million dollars. Also, additional dividends of one dollar and a half on the common stock to its 330,000 shareholders; or a total distribution of more than 65 million dollars. these money distributing days La Fontaine's fable of the ant and the grasshopper comes to I mind. When cold weather came, and the grasshopper begged the ant for food, the ant asked: "What did you do in the fine weather?" The grasshopper replied: "May it not displease you, I sang." "You sang," said the ant.

"I am glad to hear it; well, dance now." Corporations compelled to distribute their surplus may find the dancing rather painful when the bad weather comes. We live in a world of progress, that is a comfort. Those that attended this week a luncheon in honor of Charles F. Kettering, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first automobile electric starter, saw on a platform the original old four-cylinder 1911 Cadillac, in which the first electric starter was installed. That plain old car, of the open type, with heavy leather straps to keep the top from blowing off, had tires that might do 1,500 miles without blowing out, an engine that could get eight miles out of a gallon of gasoline under good conditions, and cost $2,700.

It was a marvel of efficiency in its day, and had to come before the modern car that goes 20 miles on a gallon of gasoline, at 100 miles an hour if you are foolish enough to let it, on tires that will run 40,000 miles, but should be changed sooner. Rev. Norman H. Twiddy tells W. C.

U. ladies: "The liquor traffic cannot be controlled and therefore must be exterminated." extermination was tried recently without success, and members of many women's clubs agree that drinking among women has increased greatly.
