I k - w a v >erai* iron ur-lnomi t-» the steel mills*. It has been p;;im< <1out that we cannot have steel without jserap iron o f n*I kinds. It is necessary to have one half ton of scrap iron for each half ton of now ore to sot one ton of steel, not taking into eenehieraueu a certain percent of dross must be deducted. It'has-bt on estimated that 38 percent of the scrap still in the country is on the farms and'in the rural sections. Industry has unloaded most every pound of useless metal. It is in the homes and around the yards that a few pounds here and there (ban be gathered to make a ton. The government has asked the newspapers of the nation to sponsor a campaign to bring in more scrap iron before winter, otherwise, many steel mills will be forced to close down. When •this happens not only the war effort is checked but .there will be no steel for domestic reouirements, such as stoves, machin­ ery repairs, nails, fence and a thousand and one things we have been accustomed, to having daily. Begin today to gather the omaU bits of scrap iron and throw them in a pile in the yard or harp lot so that it ean be picked up at a later date.' Talk this campaign'with the family as well ' usjveH as among your neighbors. \ ' “ THE CALF AND THE ROPE” With Congress in hot debate over the farm price contporwe find two schools of thought. One phase economic and* the other political. Farm price control in the hands.tff Roosevelt no control whatever, as we have it now ?or of anything pro posed, on organized labor wages,’ leaves the farm element out •on the end of a limb. \/ The arg ament the farm bloc offers is that in fairness; labor costs should be considered In the formula of price fixing, just as-labor costs are computed, as part of industrial costa of all commodities, Roosevelt opposes any recognition o f farm labor costs for this reason'. It has been pointed out the farmer ha an unjust position over the urbanite in that the former gets his living before he computes his income tax while the city dweller and salaried class must pay income tax or provide for it before his. living expense. Behind the scenes jn Congress it is’ argued .that if Roosevelt fails,in his demands Special taxes in some form will be levied on all farm crops that go to market. The urban­ ite in defending his position says the government is paying the farmer for not producing crops, all of which is now a part of the.national debt and the public is asked to purchase bonds to finance the government, . ' The organized for profit element'among the farmery, such as the paid, list in the Farm Bureau; the AAA, and other farm organizations, some of which are for farm politics only, say tht farmer is not entitled to higher prices because he cannodt op- •erate his own business on a. safe and sane, basis. It is pointed out that higher farm prices means certain inflation, something we already-have1by government reckless spending. It is also ..pointed out that following the First World War we.,found thous- . ands of farmers broke due to inflation. To this wq dispute tht statement." The farmer that .went broke is in the same class at ‘ the merchant and the manufacturer that went broke, ft wat poor management, spending more than income, even though we had the highest prices known for farm products, purchase of ’ unnecessary farm machinery, household goods,N automobiles, instead of paying the mortage on the farm, the business or the ■industry, It was a case of living beyond their means. . The answer to the charge ,the fanner went broke due to .inflation'is an insult to the thousands of farmers that did not go broke following the First. World War. Another argument in defense‘bf the latter is that these successful farmers were suc­ cessful because, they “ farmed on the farms, in those days instead o f the highway.^ This same class also spent most of their time minding their own business instead of running over the country trying to advise other farmers how to operate their.farms. With the first class they invested their war profits in Liberty bonds, and building and savings "organizations. With the other class the rag weeds and*thistles was the dutput and 'of course left no profit. The profit farmers weathered the storm, such as fol­ lows every war, the others had to struggle and fight for a safe landing, many of whom failed, . ' On the present farm,bill,before congress one element is fighting fbr lower living costs as an appeal to the urban people, thus hoping for political reward in the future. *It is argued behind closed doors that the city vote is now dominate over the fann vote,and for that reason the prices of farm mops should be-controlled withOut.loss of political prestige. New Deal lead­ ers feel with the control Of the AAA the farm vote can be split, anti with the city vote the farmer can be placed under absolute ■control. On the Republican side many Republican politicaris are on the fence as to which side can be the winner in such a contest, though the Republican party has supported more farm -•measures in the past than have their political opponents. It is hinted most of the Congressmen from rural states are de­ manding recognition of farm labor costs in the pending legis lation. A few Republican members, haying in mind what hap­ pened to Woodrow Wilson on his World Court demand, are favoring the Roosevelt demand of “ hog-tieing” The 'farmer. It is the old story of “ Giving the calf more rope and await­ ing the hanging” with the few that are certain a direful po­ litical upheaval awaits the Roosevelt domain!. He is but fighting to make good a campaign promise with organized labor, „ >TM GET OBE OF THESE BARGAINS NOW! S83 LOANS UNCALLED FOR!

This year the government insisted on a larger crop due to the war, Conner* were guar­ anteed a price and the growers were, to get $21 a ton for number one to­ matoes, »-Nbw we hear thousands o f tons o f tomatoes are rotting for two reasons,.one that farm labor cannot tie secured . ■ gather the crop, and second' that government inspectors insist oh a large percent being graded second class which.calls for a very low price to the grower. Well, if you want repairs fo r your farm- machinery you are expected to ’jet down on your knees and bow be fore the "AAA dictator,. Joseph B, Mason, who is to say just who is to get ,tlie New Deal favors. A Springfield resident last Satur day stated to the writer something ‘ike this: MI do not mind investing jn i .government bond for payment of 'die cost o f the war, but d— if I do not object j;o buying a bond to pay “or that 'infernal AAA that is eating ip government tax funds,” Contin- ling the Springfielder gave vent to ns feelings. "He has jj .. son operat. n g .a farm in Clark county and he iayS the fight in Congress now over 'arm prices is the result o f the AAA, vhich is inflaming city people against he farmer,. When asked what was us idea o f figuring the c^st o f farm ibor in the selling o f farm crops, to vhich. Roosevelt objects, he says the armor has no one to blame but him- elf for the, buildup that is going on o inflame city folks against the. oral people.” A long, Jist of industrialists drow- ng immense salaries has-been made ublic by the treasury department: .Tiese personages are given credit for :ig commissions and high salaries tue to publication of income tax lists, ilany individuals on the retired list •re , included. However, you f will •otice that no member of the Roo$e- elt family is included in the fist. Vith the President drawing a salary f §75,000 yearly is not included is ’robablyr ,<hie to an executive order hat'the family ,incomes "were not to ’C made, public yet the federal law Pbt say so. The Herald gets a story that is in •irculation out in Illinois, to this ffect. .All farm agents have beep equestpd by the New Deal to get, as nany farms under government con- rol as .possible this year. By this it •neans farmers- are to be urged to iave government, mortgages on their ’and. Borrow on their crops. Be hog ie.d to the AAA. Borrow from the government fo r seeds and|other farm ‘c-quirements. In other "words keep hiavily in debt to the New Dealers, Plus is the first step taken,by Stalin jefore he confiscated all real estate md personal property of the farmers n Russia,. Evidently the more debt x farmer has thejnore prosperous he vjll*he. Some time ago Franklin D, made 'he statement that all salaries over *25,000 a year should he taxed out* of xistence by the government. So far bis own Congress refuses to do so, and he has not placed the suggestion 'on his “must list” for passage. With a $75,000 annual salary and some §350,000 appropriated for upkeep o f the White House and fo r traveling expenses it looks like any president should cave a few pennies. No matter til-he receives is salary just as sen­ ators. congressmen and presidents qf corporations. He is also credited with ■reing a big owner o f General Electric stock which pays big dividends on ;ovei‘nmcnt electric contracts.

Roosevelt drawing in ■xcess o f $3,000 fo r each radio ad- Iress, and receiving a big income from a syndicate writings for daily sapors mid magazine, citizens want o know why the Mrs. does not file in income tax as her earnings ate separate front her husband. This veek Mrs. Roosevelt discussed the. 25,000 salary limitation and thinks he could arrange her personal re- uiremeiitr, to live within that amount, i'hat would be about $2,084 a week >r §208 a day for living expenses, Tust how Mrs. Roosevelt’s reasoning ppcaln to the average citizen is left to the wonderment o f the render. We also wonder just how $10.24 for tach hour o f a full day would appeal to the wives o f those who receive the .c25,000 annual salary and to those '■f the faithful who do not expect to am $25,000 in a lifetime.

Some months, ago the farm element was interested in the discussion about using grain fo r commercial alcohol and "for use o f the latter in manufact­ uring high explosives. It was hut a few weeks ago that,the, synthetic rubber discussion occupied everyone because auto tires are the-one thing 1'he nation must have or there will be a revolution at the ballot box. The use o f grain for synthetic rubber looked like a good thing for the motorist a$ well a s the farmer as it vould give him a Tasting market for Ms tWo major crops, corn and wheat. However the New Deal is not inclined !o favor the user o f grain for either dcohol or rubber. The net result will 'ikely be “ Walk instead o f ride” if you vote fo r the New Deal next month, It has just leaked out that Roose- relt and Hull have promoted and signed a new treaty Wjth Argentine .o-use com grown in that country for ilcohol to supply out war needs.

S„ farms lose their lives by fire ■ or accident, and at least 800 are in­ jured. Many o f these accidents and fatalitiea coiiid be prevented fiy making farm’ repairs promptly. Today whan every farm work­ er is needed in agricultural pro­ duction, it ia doubly Important that preventive measures be taken on ail farm* to avoid the tragedy o f accident or death, or interruption in the work pro­ gram. Every farmer should make up a household tool kit consisting o f a small hammer, a small and medium size berew "driver, an adjustable S-drr.ench, nail sets and pliers. Put the tools in a homemade tool roll fitted with pockets o r in a'carry­ ing box. Easier te Repair. ‘ ■With such a tool kit handy it is a lqt easier tp take care o f repair jobs. Engineers o f the U. S, bureau o f agricultural chemistry and engi­ neering place lijjpse floor boards and stair treads high' on their list of farm and home hazards.,. The short time required to repair such condi­ tions could well be. spared from even the most important farm work. Uneven and badly worn floors are dangerous, too, as aye loose or bro­ ken hand rails, especially at steep stairways. Broken window glass should . be removed, Badly worn sash cords, often factors in accidents, should be replaced. Weak or broken ladders are the cause of many injuries. . Going through ladders is more unlucky than walking under them, Sfeplad- dera are. a special hazard because they are used so frequently and are Uot so" simple in the'ir construction as straight ones. A loose boaiu- or a door with a broken hinge can be picked up by the wind and do great damage.' The farm shop, usually .has the equip­ ment for such repairs* They should be made, as soon as the need is noticed. ■ Boards with nails in them left lying; around are a. frequent cause of, serious accidents and a threat of dread lockjaw. They'll Last Longer .Now that the production Of all farm equipment requiring rubber tires, except combines, has been discontinued, farmers who have rubber-tired implement* and trac-. tors can make them last longer with a little extra care. - Some o f the most important points in tractor care, are to keep tires properly it,dated, at all t i m e s , k e e p tires from con­ tact with oil and grease pr other material harmful torub- ber, inspect all tires regularly for cuts, bruises and other damage and make needed repairs promptly. Tractor tires should be well weighted at all times, especially under heavy load, to prevent ex­ cess wheel slippage which also causes rapid tire wear. Unnecessary traveling over rough, sharp rock-strewn and gravel roads cuts down on the life o f a tractor tire, - Whprever possible keep off the road, and on the earth which wears tires'down less; Heavy Yielding Hybrids Still in the "laboratory stage" a decade ago, hybrid Corn is being planted on 30,000,000 acres of mid* west farm land this y ea r/ according Improvement committee.

Forgiyeness, opening 1be way for the restoration o f fellowship and the showing o f kindness,- brought the sto­ ry of Joseph and bis brethren to a happy ending. Under the good hand ■ Of God the atory which began with tragedy Is brought tp a conclusion of blessing, ^ -* Following the earnest plea of Ju­ dah, the heart o f Joseph could no longer withhold itself from the full expression qf affection -and.'devotion to his family, * S, Love Overcome* Fear (vv. 1-4), Joseph tenderly, shielded the fact: ily troubles from the eye* and ears of strangers by sending out the Egyptians. It was the first step o f consideration which paved the way for reconciliation. How often just the opposite is done—airing family affairs before the world, and humili­ ating those who- may be in; -the wrong, thus making it difficult for them to admit their guilt. Then, too, this w a s a moment too ^ tender and. delicate to be seen b y ' outsiders. The tears of a strongman like Joseph mean a deep movement of spirit—a solemn and often' a sa­ cred moment. ‘ it should also be noted that the’ brothers were afraid," and wefi, they* m igh t. be, because ■ o f their, sin against Joseph. After almost 50 years these unrepentant men found themselves face to face with the one whom they had ,supposed they had disposed of, and. they knew their, sin had found.them out. It always does, sooner or later, bi.it inevitably. How great and noble was the for­ giving love-of Joseph; an example to us, especially appropriate and heeded in a world of hate and bit­ terness. H .'Grace Overrules Sin (vv. 5-8). The guilt, o f these men was none the less and Joseph could pot re­ move it, but he encouraged them by showing how God had used th e ir. evil devices to work out His own good pleasure. He can make the' wrath of m an 'to praise Him (Ps, 76:10). It is worth.stressing again that in the very hour when the prospects' for Joseph’s future usefulness seemed ruined, God was opening the door to the greatest experiences, of his life and was preparing' him. to serve the thousands whose lives were saved by his wisdom and abil­ ity in the years of famine. Nothing is more important in the ' life of a child of God than tc. be yielded to His will, urtmoved by. cir­ cumstances, abiding His time, re­ sponding to His guidance whether it be by the opening or closing of doors, prosperity or adversity. And herein is the marvel o f it, all—even sin may be overruled by God’s grace for His own glory. That does not invite anyone to sin that grace may abouiid (Rom. 6:1, 2), but it does offer encouragement to the one who has fallen, that God can. re­ deem the years that the locust have eaten (Joel 2;25), Our lesson also sets us an exam­ ple of how true forgiveness acts, something we need. So often when forgiveness is asked or granted there is an " I can forgive hut I can’t forget’ ’ attitude, which means- that while hostilities have ceased, at least temporarily, there is no real friendship or the disposition to show- •kindness. Is there any real forgive­ ness at all in such an attitude of heart and mind? We fear not. HI. Kindness Provides the Best (w . 0-15; 47:11, 12). It might have been enough to send food and a kind greeting with the brothers to their own land, but love doe* not seek the minimum expres­ sion of its feeling. It ask* not how little, but how much can I give or do. ■ Bringing his . aged father and : brothers into the land Of plenty was not enpugh, Joseph also gave to them the "best of the land” (47:11). His thoughtful consideration in send­ ing for his father (Gen. 46:5-7) was part o f the same piece of kindness. Joseph puts-to shame .the modem "hard-boiled" attitude toward needy and aged members Of the family. In their eager and relentless pur­ suit of fame or riches, many ignore or trample upon the members o f ’ their own families. Often they are ashamed o f the broken bodies, the humble apparel, the broken o r un­ educated speech of their parents, They fear lest their new-found friends in the circle of wealth and supposed “ position" wili think them man or woman who is ashamed of a humble or aged father and mother! Joseph, Who really had ** exalted position gained by merit ana by the bleasingfcOf God, never forgot his place before God as a son in the amily and as a brother.
