Millions tor Defense
The words "millions for defense,
but not on* cent for tribute," wers
ssld In a toast by Congressman Rob.
ert Goodloe Harper of South Caro-
lina, delivered at a dinner given by
congress In Philadelphia in honor
of John Marshall June 18, 1788,
on his safe return from France.
Marshall, with C. C. Pinckney and
Elbridge Gerry, had gone to Francs
to demand halt of the French at-
tacks on U. S. shipping, but had
only met with demands tSr bribes.
Harper's toast was a plea for armed
defense to prevent the French from
exacting further tribute from
American merchant vessels.

Army Nurses
On April 6, 1917, there were 403
nurses In the army. Within 18
months after that date, the army
nurse corps had increased to a
strength of 21,480, the greater num-
ber of whom were reserve nurses
called to active service through the
American Red Cross. More than
10,000 of these army nurses served
overseas In World War I. They
served nobly In England, France,
Itrfly, Belgium and Siberia and
with the army of occupation in Ger-
many.
Dcvrlopf-d Semaphore
France developed the use of the j
mechanical semaphore in Napo-
leon's time. The semaphore arms
were mounted on belfries, tall build-
ings. and other elevations in sight'
of each other Paris was connected!
with Lille by an experimental line
which first proved its value with re-
ports of battle. In two years the sys-l
tem covered France. When Napo-
leon moved on Russia, 1,200 stations
kept him in touch with Paris.
Smoke Signals
Smoke signals were used by.
Europeans centuries before the!
American Indians were found send*]
ing such messages. African natives'
beat out signals on drums and hol-i
low logs. Among man’s earliest |
methods of signaling were wigwag-
ging and heliographing. The latter
system makes use of reflected!
flashes of sunlight.
Fall Crops
Both in midsummer, when the fall I
crops are getting a start, and In the j
cool weather of the autumn, growth
will be slower. So do not wait too
long to get them started. Maturity
dates given in seed catalogues are
intended for fast spring growth; and
in calculating fall growth should be !
lengthened appreciably.
BUI of Rights
Thomas Jefferson said “A Bill of I
Rights is what the people are en-
titled to against every government
on earth, general or particular, and
what no government should refuse,
or rest on inference.”
Easy Crop
Oats for hay are easy to grow,
the farmer usually has his own seed, |
they make good hay, no special
curing difficulties are involved, and
seeding may be made with them.

Gather Floss
Experimentation has proven milk-
weed floss to be the most satisfac-
tory substitute for kapok, a ma-
terial formerly imported for life
preservers from Java, but now un-
available as a result of Japanese
occupation of that Island. Last year
150,000 pounds of floss was collected
largely by school children in Mich- J
igan, each of whom tried to collect :
two bags of pods each—enough forj
one "Mae West" life jacket which
might save the life of a fighting j
American.

PATTON’S RECORD
EXPOSED
Patton Appointed to West Point Cadet
Who Was Non-Resident of District
Inefficiency, Nepotism, Absenteeism, Congressmen’s Pensions and
Petty Politics Characterize Patton’s Tenure
It lias just come to light that Nat Patton appointed a
non-resident of this Congressional District to a cadet-
ship at West Point beginning July I. 1941. This is
shown by the Official Register of Officers and Cadets
at the United States Alilitary Academy for the year
ending June 80, 1942. This cadet, Richard King Patch,,
was a minor and is a son of General Joseph D. Patch,
who was Commanding Officer at Fort Jackson, South
Carolina, at the time Patton appointed the boy to
recorded as voting for the bill. They passed it without
a record vote.
PATTON'S APOLOGY.
Patton apologizes for his failure to oppose the
FEPC by saying it was created by the President and
financed by a fund under bis control. That is another
evasion by Patton. The President did create it but
Congress would, but for Patton and his likes, have
West Point. Cadet Patch is a great-grandson of All's, struck it down. II the expenses were paid from a fund
Henrietta AI. King, the cattle king of South Texas, ,ll,‘ President s eon rol, ( .ingress is the body that
whose domains are so vast that it is said to he a dis-
tance of fifty miles from the front door of the King
castle to the grout gate of the King pasture.
Cadets must reside in the District and State from
which they are appointed. (10 IISCA, Section 1091.)
In construing this law, the United Slates Attorney
General says: “Minors whose fathers are living and re-
siding within the United States are, by reason of their
minority ineligible to appointment as cadets to the Alil-
itary Academy' at West Point from any other congres-
sional districts than those in which their fathers
reside.” (13 op. Atty. Gen. 130)
Patton's appointment of young Patch deprived
some worthy poor boy of the appointment from this
District. Why Patton would slight his home people and
appoint a nonresident is a mystery.
PATTON EVADES ANSWER TO THE QUESTION
OF WHY HE REFUSED TO VOTE ON ANTI STRIKE
BILL.
In my literature, 1 have charged Patton with be-
ing present and refusing to vote on the ANTI-STRIKE
BILL, on December 3, 1941. (See Pamphlet containing
my platform, Page 8t last paragraph). Two votes
were taken that day in regard to the ANTI-STRIKE
BILL. The record shows Patton was PRESENT and
NOT VOTING both times. (Cong. Rec., December 3,
put these funds “under the President’s control.” Tile
Tarver Amendment sought to strike out the appropria-
tion; it lost by n vote of 123 to 119. (Cong. Rec., May
26, page 5153.) if one more good congressman had been
present and willing to help, lie might have changed the
result, Annualy, for four years, Congress has appropri-
ated money for this thing and Patton has never op-
posed it. It is the most monstrous and damnable en-
gine of evil that has ever been foisted on the American
people. This District needs a Congressman that will
not only “denounce” the FEPC but will be on hand to
vote against it when voting time comes.
PATTON INVENTED THE CIO CHARGE.
I do not know of a CIO voter in this District. No
Labor Union has contributed a dollar to my campaign.
It would be a penitentiary offense for any officer of a
labor union to contribute a dollar to this political cam-
paign. An injunction would be granted to restrain any
contribution. If Patton or any of bis hirelings know of
any contribution made in_violation of the law, it is
their dutv to name them and to file felony complaints
against them before the proper authorities. I had
nothing to do with placing my picture in the "Labor”
journal. I do not believe that any outside individual,
newspaper or organization should have anything to do
with the campaign in this District, I am not supported
by any CIO organizations.
I certainly would not criticize the railroad men
1941, page 9638). But in Patton’s telegram to tiie Pal- for th«r supporting me. They are against Patton be

PATTON PRACTICES NEPOTISM.
Tn letters dated September 20 and 25, 1942. written
to H. B. Fox of Madisonville, Patton himself admits
and girls travel, often without a male escort. I will
hack any Order of Railroad Conductors in their fight
to keep negro conductors out of Pullman ears and off
passenger trains.

PATTON MAKES FAKE CHARGES
In the Palestine Herald, August 6, 1944, Patton
asks the question: “Will lie (Pickett) ask his aunt to
resign her government job in Washington?” 1 have no
aunts on the government pay roll. If any ladies bear-
