Ice Cream is a FOOD as well as a delicacy.
Its food value depends upon its ingredients.
Ashburn’s is made of pure milk and cream,
• cane sugar, pure fruit flavors, fresh fruits,
and other quality ingredients. That’s why
folks say its the “Best Ice Cream in Texas.”
NOTICE TO
FARMERS
The insurance companies have warned farmers
that improperly cured and improperly stacked hay
may ignite from spontaneous combustion and cause
their barns to burn. It has been proved that baled
hay stacked on edge, with air passage space left be-
tween stacks, will cure out better than flat stacked
hay and will not heat. If possible, place bottom bales
on rails laid on the floor, and leave two or three feet
of space between the hay and the roof. If you will
follow these directions, you may avoid a fire.

enough, and are not doing enough.
That is a perfectly natural reaction.
Doubtless if the shoe were on the
other foot, our newspapers would be
just, as critical and reproachful.
. However, though the President has
been spattered with epithets, of
which “warmonger,” is about the
mildest, he has avoided our getting
into the war—and that is perhaps the
most skillful bit of statesmanship of
the century.

Lindbergh Stand
As Un-American
So many folks have asked for more
information about ice hockey (which
will be played for the first time in
Texas this winter in Fort Worth)
that here are a few facts about the
sport: It is played of course on ice
and the players wear skates; they
skim over the cie at a speed of 40
miles an hour; there are no time-outs
for substitutions, players leaving and
entering the game on the fly; and
the pace is so terrific that the two
wings and the center are unable to
play for more than four minutes ; ’
stretch when three fresh men 'go in
and the starters rest a while. Spills
are frequent and sometimes fists fly.
Popularity of th esport is shown by
the fact that the Chicago Black-
hawks, in 24 home games last year,
drew an attendance of 379,000. Tex-
ans, who like football and rodeos, are
expected to take to this hew sport.

mem-
ber of Congress is actuated only by
partisan motives. Some of them un-
doubtedly believe that in some mys-
terious fashion we can keep out of
war if the Nazi powers prevail—that
Hitler, and his accomplices, if they
are successful in downing freedom
over all Europe, Asia, Africa and
Oceania, will not bother about the
existence of liberty-loving democracy
in the Western Hemisphere. Perhaps
they figure that the brigand nations
would be so glutted with loot that
they would forego an attempt to in-
clude the biggest prize of all. It may
be their idea that the conquerors
might suddenly turn benignant, and
forget and forgive our having delayed
and made more difficult their con-
quests by becoming the arsenal of
democracy.
Unquestionably, there were tories
dairy group, asked that the new for-
mula, intended to give farm products
the same relative purchasing power
as wages of industrial workers, be
attached to any price-fixing legisla-
tion approved by Congress.
The dairy spokesman asked that
the industrial wage scale be made an
important factor in determining par-
ity or fair exchange price ceilings for
farm products, saying this would
make the “parity price” flexible.
As an example, McCann said that
the July farm price for butter was
34 cents, the present parity price
about 36, the proposed ceiling price
in the new bill 39 cents, while the
ceiling would be 52 cents by basing
.a .parity on industrial wages.

I am supposed to know a little, at
least, about our party policies and
plans — and am inclined to believe
that it is purely a G. O. P. maneuver
to supplant one kind of Republican
with a different variety. If the re-
sulting discord among the opposition
replaces these with Democrats I will
shed no tears, naturally, but actually
the affiliation of the prospective new
members is of vastly less importance
than that their principles be directed
less by partisan expediency than by
concern for the peril that Nazi tri-
umph would bring to our country.

Even in Fort Worth where some-
thing of a model city ordinance has
been in effect since 1937, the high-
rate lenders are exacting a toll from
thousands of persons, declares J. L.
Pritchett, Better Business Bureau
manager.
Surprising, too, are many of the
borrowers who are in the toils of
loan-sharks, for their number in-
cludes firemen, policemen and school
teachers. Many are wives who have
borrowed without the knowledge of
theii- husbands and are forced to
stint on the household budget for
food and clothes for their families in
order to pay 100 per cent interest or |
more.
The ordinance requires
loan companies take out
give a bond and keep records which
can be inspected by the city. Some
features were held unconstitutional,
however, and this leads many who
have studied the problem to believe
that only through a Constitutional
Amendment and through state regu-
lation can the situation be controlled.
There are some 35 concerns lending
money at usurious rates in Fort
Worth. Most are chain-owned with
the management conducted by
mote control from Memphis, Tenn.,
New Orleans, Atlanta or some other
out-of-state city and the local man-
ager is able to shift responsibility
and, in the rare instances of legal
steps, relief is difficult to obtain.
Some of the companies will pay $1
to persons turning in a name of a
new customer. To entice a prospect,
they will make a loan absolutely
without interest if repaid in 30 days.
There’s the catch, of course, because
in most instances, the borrower can
not pay off the loan that quickly.
And as many of the loan sharks will
not accept partial payments, the bor-
rower may remain in
for years.

OKLAHOMA CITY.—Herbebt^ K.
Hyde, state chairman of the America
First Committee, charged Tuesday
night that Charles A. Lindbergh^
Des Moines, Iowa, speech was “un-
American.”
The Oklahoma City attorney made
the accusation in a voluntary state-
ment to the press and on questioning
indicated' that he might “get out of
the America First Committee.”

of racial and religious intolerance is
not in harmony with our American

during our Revolutionary War, per-
fectly sincere in their theory that
Britain’s might would overcome
Washington’s forces, and that our
future would be brighter as a British
colony than if we went on our own,
even if we were succsesful.
That sincere belief may have been
as harmful to the cause of independ-
ence as Benedict Arnold’s deliberate
treason, though the honest tory may
have acted as he thought right, while
the traitor sold out his country.
Hence the validity of the sugges-
tion of a non-partisan rally to the
defense of America.
“Now the country knows,” wrote
the Sage of Emporia, “that the Pres-
ident has been walking the only way
to peace which America can follow.
These lines are written by one who
has opposed President Roosevelt in
three campaigns and felt his election
for a third term a public calamity.
Yet today we ask all American citi-
zens to look back over the course he
has charted in the last four years.
Aren’t you proud of your President?
Why should partisanship cloud the
glory of this day?”
The Policy That Has Worked
The President’s course has
ceeded without deviation for
years, in the face of protests
prophecies of dire disaster from the
isolationists. They were scared when
he asked for and obtained the repeal
of the neutrality law, which repeal
enabled us to sell munitions and gen-
eral supplies to Great Britain, under
certain restrictions. They were
frightened when we passed the lend-
lease bill, after England had ex-
hausted her dollar exchange; they
were panic-stricken when we estab-
--------—----lished our naval patrol, and agonized
I confess that I never heard of the I when we occupied Iceland.
In each of these acts they saw a
challenge to Hitler to begin hostilities
against us; but if it were a challenge,
it was never accepted, for the ob-
vious reason that until he had com-
pleted his conquest of Europe he did
not dare add the forces of the great
Republic to his active enemies.
Instead, he tried to incite Japan to
provoke us into a Pacific war. But
Japan, a wiser Italy of the East,
wouldn’t move until she was sure the
Fuehrer was going to win.
So here we are with the Eastern
Hemisphere’s war two years old, and
we are not in it. Moreover, the
chances of our becoming involved are
less than they ever were—because of
our defiant attitude, and the aid we
have extended to the anti-Nazi na-
tions—and, incidentally, because the
two years respite has enabled

The British newspapers are

speeches on the scaffold?
DISPELLING THE FOG
BY CHARLES MICHELSON
Director of Publicity, Democratic National Committee
William Allen White, the Sage of
Emporia, has long been one of the
greatest Republican assets. He has
been warning his party that if it does
not get away from the policy of op-
posing the defense measures, the
anti-isolationists will take the leader-
ship away from the titular chiefs as
Theodore Roosevelt took it away
from the reactionaries in 1910.
Sage White adduces the voting rec-
ord of the G. O. P. delegations in the
Senate. and House on the various
steps taken in the progress of the
national policy against the totalita-
rian world raids as evidence of the
political stupidity of the course that
has been followed. The urging of the
Herbert Hoover wing to incite still
more intense opposition to the de-
fense program, quickly followed by
the acquiescing Republican House
caucus, indicates the purpose of mak-
ing the minority party the party of
isolationism.
Politically figuring, this is grand
for the Democrats but it is hardly
good service to the nation because of
the encouragement it gives to the
Nazi thesis that ours is a divided
country. How closely the Hitler
spokesmen abroad scan the American
newspapers for anything that gives
color to their contention of disunity
in America, is manifest from the re-
production of every such story in
Berlin and Rome.
Some of the columnists have
printed a tale that because of the
feeling against the foes of the Ameri-
can policy, there is forming some
sort of movement to supplant the
more virulent congressmen with oth-
ers more representative of their con-
stituents’ views. This is attributed in
some cases to a dark Democratic plot.
The information probably comes a
little late but old Uncle Zeke had a
method for telling when it was safe
to eat watermelons. (If you eat one
too early in the season, it might
make you a trifle indisposed). “I
know it’s safe to eat a watermelon,”
Uncle Zeke used to say, “when they
get down to a nickel apiece.”

ideals and aspirations,”
clared.
“Lindbergh’s attempt
America into racial or
groups by making charges against the
Jews of America is un-American and
should be subject to the most vicious,
criticism. I am unalterably opposed
to his views in that respect.”
He referred to the speecn at
Moines Thursday sponsored by the
America First Committee, in which
Lindbergh said this country was be-
ing led into war by the British, the
Jewish and the Roosevelt Adminis-
tration.
Hyde, who promoted a speech here
Aug. 29 by Lindbergh and Senator-
Wheeler of Montana, in favor of
peace, pointed out, however, that
“I’m still against embroiling this Na-
tion in a foreign war.”
“It’s my opinion,” Hyde said, “that
he (Lindbergh) did not reflect the
views of the America First Commit-
tee in his Des Moines speech. If he-
did, then L’m going to get out of the^
America First Committee.”

Some fellows can get away with
anything. There’s one in our neigh-
borhood that does.
Morals don’t mean a thing to him.
He’s unmarried, and lives openly
with a woman he’s crazy about; and
doesn’t care what the neighbors say
or think. He has no regard for truth
or law.
The duties of the so-called good
citizen are just so much bunk as far
as he’s concerned. He doesn’t vote at
either the primaries or the general
election. He never thinks of paying
a bill.
He won’t work a lick; he won’t go
to church; he can’t play cards, or
dance, or fool around with musica'l
instruments oi' the radio. So far as
known, he has no intellectual or cul-
tural interests at all.
He neglects his appearance terri-
bly. He’s so indolent he’d let the
house burn down before he’d turn in
an alarm. The telephone can ring it-
self to pieces and he wouldn’t bother
to answer it. Even on such a contro-
versial subject as the liquor question,
nobody knows exactly where he
stands, because one minute he’s dry,
and the next minute he’s wet.
But we’ll say this for him, in spite
of all his faults' he comes of a darn
good family.
He’s our neighbor’s new baby.
