Behind Scenes in Washington |
By RODNEV DUTCHER
NEA Service Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON -Farmers are in revolt against the
law of averages. Averages tell the farmer that after
seven months of Roosevelt he is 22 per cent better
off when you figure the prices he gets against the
prices he pays.
According to present prices, wheat farmers will get
$100,000,000 more this year for 200,000,000 fewer bush-
els of wheat—plus *20.000,000 or more for reduction
of the next crop.
But try to feed averages to a South Dakota farmer.
' for instance, and he’l probably chase you with a
pitchfork.
Out there the crop failure was almost complete
The fact that South Dakota raised but 3 000,000 bush
els of wheat against last year's 37.000.000 is swell, for
wheat prices, but hell on South Dakota
The oat crop was down from 75.000.000 to 5,000,000
and barley from 7,000,000 to 3,000.000.
The mythical ‘average farmer” doesn't live there—
or in other states suffering from short crops or price
flumps in individual commodities North Dakota and
Nebraska also have been having a bad time.

- "Spottiness" of the farm situation explains why
Home farmers will strike and others won't. A farmer
with plenty of wheat who ran get 55 to 00 cents a
bushel for it now as against 37 cents last year, or a
potato grower who can collect tl as against last
year's 38 cents is relatively content.
But not the livestock raiser, who compares the
present price of $3.61 with the 1932 low price—very
low—of $4.31. X
Advancing prices of manufactured goods leave the
“average farmer with a present 61 per cent of par-
ity prices as against 71 per cent in July and 50 per
cent in March The farmer's average position has

THE JAZZ HABIT
The constant reiteration of un-
adulterated jazz Is-a very real cul-
tural menace in modern life, and es-‘
peolally for children.
It is not only a question of spoil-
ing then Laste for good mnxic, which
in large and continuous doses it is
almost sure to do. The child who
has been brought tip entirely on pop-
ular songs and dance tunes is very
apt to lose from his life any appre-
ciation of the masterpieces of the
world of music and to be by that
much the poorer.
But sometimes jazz has a very real
and harmful effect on the nervous
system and on the emotions.
In its origin it is a music intend-
ed to stir the emotions and through
them the senses. Its rhythm'is as
primitive as it is fascinating, and
one has only to see a crowd of peo-
ple driven about the dance floor un-
l der the guidance of a good jazz-band
I to realize the force of its posses-
sion.
In the exercise of dancing much
of the emotional and nervous ener-
gy roused by the music is given ex-
pression and so dissipated. But the
child who wants jazz every minute,
who studies, talks, reads and thinks
to Jazz, is being stirred in the same
way, with no outlet for the energy
thus released. Some children be-
came sueh jazz addiete that they
demand it at every musical oppor-
l tunity.

MRS. VAN BERG’S STORY
“I must tell someone. It just go?s
on and on in my head all the time
I don’t sleep, you know."
“You can tell me—I’m safe," said
Caroline And then as soon as she
had said it she had a revulsion of
feeling. “No, don’t tell me—don’t!
Don’t tali me anything! Because it
you did it, and they thought tt was
Jim. I should have to tell them.”
Susie shook her head again
“It wasn't like that. What did you
think? I didn"t shoot Elmer—I didn’t
mean that. Did you think I did?"
“I don't know I didn't want you
to tell me anything you'd feel sorry
about afterwards”
“I must tell someone," sald Susle
piteously "If I don't Ill go crazy.”
Sha broke off with a start “Look
out of that door and see there no
one listening!”

ago: but he is licked because he thinks he is. He sees
no future for himself: he has soured on the world:
he thinks everybody 'lias it in for him" and is try-
ingtopront at his expense. These of course are pure
hallucihationbs
This man, we happen to know..has a splendid per-
sonality. He typifies the "hat fellow well met" or
used to. He makes friends qu&iy.
But he has changed n these last two or three
years ..he thinks he is down and out . . .
It is not too late to meng. to stast over; to get one's
feet on solid ground and fo on toward success. It
can be done and we wish someone might tell this
man so. We may do It ourself when we see him.—

DENTON, TEXAS. OCTOBER 27, 1933_____
--———--v BOOM IN EAST TEXAS — ----^ 4
No part of Texas is free from the oil boom fever,
and just when things look the blackest, some enter-
prising wildcatter starts a big rush to some new sec- l
non of the State where his inquiring bit has unleash- l
ed another flow of oil. Low prices for the product, or
tightness of money have very little effect on these
booms. The money comes from somewhere, and al-
though the oil isn't worth much, the old fever at-
tached to “striking oil" isn't lessened a single degree.
Over in the Palestine area of East Texas the resl. ■
dents are going through the same sore of boom that
has occurred in Gladewater, Kilgore, Van and many
ether East Texas on feld areas. Streets are crowded,
vacant rooms are at a premium and rent houses are
not to be had. No NRA code has been needed to
kite prices, and business is booming. That is the way
things go in the oil areas. I

SMALL TOWNS IMPROVE FIRST
The pretty general belief that recovery from the
depression would start in the rural districts and the
small towns seems to be pretty well borne out by
recent reports to various statistical organizations
which indicate that retail trade is better than at
any time since 1929. Dun and Bradstreet reports that
the Dallas trade area, which includes Denton Coun- I
ty, had the largest volume of retail sales two weeks
ago that has been registered since 1929. while bank
clearings for that week were the highest for the
year.
A particularly significant trend is the increased
buying in the small towns and smaller cities. Den-
ton merchants reports that sales volume has been
very satisfactory for the last several weeks, and s-m-
liar reports have come from other towns in Denton
County. Farmers are spending their cotton money
and are taking advantage of low prices to stock up on
necessities that may increase in price later on.

RETAIL IN OPERATION
President Roosevelt has approved the all-inclusie
master retail code, placing all retail stores with more
than 5 employes, except in the towns of less than
2,500 population, under an agreement which is ex-
pected to abolish many of the unfair and unethical
trade practices that have added to the expense of
business within recent years. A sore spot that will b:
eliminated under the code is Inaccurate and mis-
leading advertising. Most newspapers guard against
this type of advertising, but within the last tew years,
compettive advertising and "knocking” of other
products has increased, much to the detriment of all
business.
Officials of the NRA frankly admit that the mas-
ter retail code ia an experiment, and that its opera-
tion will be watched very closely for the flaws that
are certain to develop under actual business condt-
.lions. Many of the provisions of the code are far-
preaching and months will be required before :he
many alterations will be made before the code can
kinks can be ironed out. It 1 safe to estimate that
be fitted to the complex retail business, but if even
a few of the major provisions of the code work out
satisfactorily, it will be regarded as highly successful.
