all the hard fines
—o—
By Amos Wilson
Today the Republican Party is most
certainly defeated Can it recover?
With our backs to the wall in a de-
fensive fight upon the structure of
superb faith and fortitude built up
from the most brilliant statesmanship
of American history we have allowed
The eoemy to assault and beat down
our lines with brooms mops broken
utensils while our weapons are mere-
y intellectual persuasion and high
moral appeal against the blind pas-
sion of the mob
From exalted ideals of political and
party ethics restrainng pathos of bat-
tle strategy we have we have patient-
ly refused to CHARGE the enemy and
take the offensive We are beaten by
our own inaction and confidence in
the American Eye for Justice without
noticing that the Eye is closed in dis-
1 tress by the long weary search for
living employment
The defense of Hoover is our cam-
pain argument Upon this issue the
- r wets and drys of Maine both turned
away and voted for Rcosevelt
Hoover needs no defense The mar-
velous courage and patience of the
President in "Wintering at Valley
Forge" while the deluge of European
failures slushed a flood of financial
wreckage against our National Cred-
it and threatened the integrity of our
government in 1930 and '31 are nec-
essary documents for universal pub
licity and Party pride
This Eistory is however too broad
and fundamental to startle the mind
of the millions who are occupied in
trying to reason out a way to earn
and live
The financing program of Recon-
struction worked out by the President
alone having warded off the threaten-
ing flood of international calamities
is the only plan of relief and safety
offered to our Congress
With unwavering faith in his 'lead-
ership the Congress accepted Hoov-
er's advice and Democrat and Repub-
lican alike in the bravest non-partisan
spirit since the war adopted his
Program and the couuntry is again
struggling to its feet
This history has been Droperly giv-
en the country in detail through press
platform and radio as a remarkable
rescue from industrial chaos and gov-
ernment panic—State leadership un-
surpassed in American history by any
of our presidents
But however important or vital
this achievement dose not warm the
blood or rile the liver of those mill-
ions whose veins are emptied or wa-
tery from lack of proper diet and in-
wards empty from lack of sufficient
food
There's also the multitude of vast
and critical difficulties that have thr-
eaten:d and often wrecked individual
enterprises and homes of Amreican
citizens all have been bravely and
humbly met generally warded away
tIvough most sincere devotion and
direction of tbe President whose ear-
ly poverty and Christian Faith have
developed in this respect one of the
most exemplary and noble citizens of
our race
Neither is this modest legend suffi-
cient to revive the halting steps of
millions upon millions of fathers and
mothers brothers and sisters—pride
broken by the haunt of public public
soup-lines—who are daily walking
the streets and hi-ways in search of
bread-winning employment for them-
selves and families

LATER ON
There is a possible way yet to e-
lect Mover All things are possible
'with God The world is anxious to
know what actually CAUSED the
Hard Times The people wouuld all
listen if told plainly what caused all
their distress
Poverty and Panic have been grad-
ually coming upon the country every
year since the spring of 1920
No tariff laws could destroy the
farming industry close the facthries
and bust 10000 banks by a gradual
process of financial deflation over a
period of 10 or 12 years
Troubles in Europe had no inciden-
tal bearing on the currency deflation
program inaugurated in 1920 by the
Wilson administration from which
time we descended rapidly every year
in succession to June of 1932
Then what caused the Depression
Give us the Answer A War Cry--

FREED FROM PRISON
'WILD MAN' RETURNS
TO PRIMITIVE LIFE
George Survel Declares That
Life in Open Cures
Stomach Ills
Eenton Ill—George Survel has re-
turned to the primitive life back to
nature in the wide-open spaces where
his cares and worries are few where
be sees little of mankind as he leads
the life of a self-appointed hermit
Survel has been released from the
Franklin county jail here where he
served ton days of a fifteen-day sen-
tence imposed upon him by a justice
of the peace for fishing without a li-
cense The complaint was made by
Andy E Goodwin of Boston a state
game warden who found Survel liv-
ing on the birnks of the Big Muddy
Friends of Survel believed he long
had been dead or had gone back to
his native Austria as he had van-
ished in 1926 Goodwin took his pris-
oner into Zeigler and announced he
had found a wild man living in a cave
In the river bank The man wore only
a shirt and overalls
Sent to Jail
When given new clothing haircut
and shave friends were amazed—
George Survel had returned Ile bad
been living near them all these years
lie was brought to Benton and being
unable to pay a $25 fine was ordered
to jail for 15 days Before the sen-
tence was completed Sheriff Brown-
ing released him
"Why shouldn't I come back?" Sur
vel said He was found sitting on
a log weaving a net from cord giv-
en him by the sheriff "I came back"
be said "because there was no other
place to go and I have become hard-
ened to the outdoor life I told the
sheriff and others that I took up this
life because I SVE3 disgusted with min-
ing conditions That was partly so
but in the main there was another
reason"
"My brother and I came to America
In 1902 We worked in the Coe Ito
mine near Christopher at Weaver
and then came to Zeigler With the
outbreak of the World war we re-
turned to our native land and took up
arms After the war we returned to
the United States and my brother was
killed in a mine accident in Pennsyl-
vania I returned to Zeigler and
worked in the mines but something
went wrong with my bead and atom-
ach I had dizzy spells and my atom-
act) would hurt me after eating I
decided I would have to quit working
at the mines but had no relatives to
look after me
Cured by Simple Life
"I didn't want to go to a hospital
and was afraid of being taken to the
poor farm I had friends but didn't
want to impose upon them and that
Is the real reason why I got off to
myself I stayed one place four years
on the Big Muddy river bat it be-
came too public and I moved to this
place I am forty-two years old and
would like to stay here until I die"
Survel's home is built on the side
of a knoll 20 feet above the waters
of the Big Muddy river A deep ra-
vine is on one side and the river on
the other leaving a plot of ground 50
feet long and 30 feet wide
In the doorway hung an alligator
gar a species of fish seldom seen in
the Big Muddy which he had caught
tnale good food" Survel said
Ile explained he had lived on wild
fruits nuts herbs and barks of trees
"I sometimes catch a muskrat or
mud turtle" he said "After I cook
them I squeeze crab apple Juice on
the niPat and that makes excellent
food In the fall I store up nuts and
at that time of the year I make a
new bed"
Outdoor life has cured Survel of diz-
ziness and his stomach ailment he

Washington D C--WNIJ Service
0-1EVILLE center for a few hours
tilk) recently of a royalist uprising
is described as "the most Span-
ish city of Spain" by many of
the visitors who travel down from Ma-
drid and up from Cadiz and come to
a brief halt in this famed town of
southEtn Spain capital of ancient An-
dalusia sun-swathed city of splotched
shadows where encroaching modern-
ity seem o ever to struggle futilely
against tbe strongly entrenched if
slightly crumbling glory of long ago
And perhaps those folk who are
wont thus to describe Seville are right
Probably nowhere else In all the Ibe-
rian peninsula does one come upon
more definite traces of that luxuriant
flower that was Old 'Spain than in
this city of a quarter of a million
souls which straggles along the banks
of the slow-moving Guadalquivir river
A few miles from Seville the burled
Roman city of Italica of which thus
far only the arena has been fully ex-
cavated gives mute if muddy evi-
dence of that classic civilization which
was in full flower at the birth of the
Christian era
Many of the carved treasures of
Italica and of the other Roman ruins
in Carmona nearby have been col-
lected and may be seen today in the
Provincial museum of Seville and In
several private homes of the city
And the Tower of Gold while slight-
ly grimy from steamboats' funnels in
the Guadalquivir river is not greatly
changed from that day in 1220 when
the Moorish governor of Seville con-
spired with the western sun's reflec
tion to give it a name
Rut it was the virility of western
Christendom building on the Orient's
lavish splendor that made the Seville
of today Not until mosques were
transformed into churches did this
city nestling at the threshold of Eu-
ropean civilization attain its rightful
place in the sun
Their Home Life le Simple
It is In the nature of things that the
people of Seville should blend in their
present lives a little of each of the
eventful epochs of the city's past
Each race in lingering and passing
has left something to the Sevillano
whether it be in language customs
architecture or in mere physical char
acteristics
Few of these gifts appear uppermost
today however Many racial threads
twine through the tapestry that de-
picts the life in Seville as it is lived
at present hut nil of these strands
litoe been happily WOVVII into a fah
ric v'herein is portrayed the glory of
the past the avaliened strivings of the
present and a future that is at once
promising and undetermined
The ordinary visitor to Seville learns
little about the home life of the sevii-
Janos for their honie life is a thing
apart
There is no great mystery about it
It is very simple fulsomely satisfying
to its several members and complete
unto itself It is a talien-for-granted
part of existence and Selflotti enters In
to the discussions and activities of
everyday life
Foreign admittance thereto Is not
desired—Indeed Is riot comprehended
—and in fact there is little social in
tercourse among the families thorn
selves
Antique dealers are found on every
hand The resurrection and if the
truth must be known the contein
porary manufacture of "antiques" con-
stitute one of the city's leading in-
dustries ! Plenty of Antiques
The score and more of antique shops
In Seville have long been the mecca
of collectors from all parts of the
world with the result that many tons
of old Spanish furniture Iron grilles
paintings by old masters moth-eaten
hangings and draperies ancestral silk
shawls ceramic tile the secret of
whose soft glaze has long since been
lost anciently wrought pottery and
4
Lace Making in Seville
V
many other highly-prized objecta are
shipped each year from Seville
And no doubt maoy more tons re
main to be found bargained over and
eventually purchased although It is
well for the prospective buyer to re
member that clever wormholes do not
for antiquity make nor rust-crusted
Iron bars for age
This reflection brings to mind the
old story (Itself an antique!) heard
wherever the sale of antiquities has
been developed Into a line art The
local version has to do with a young
foreign student temporarily sojourney-
Ing in Seville who considers himself
something of a connoisseur in the mat-
ter of old Spanish pottery
One day he Vappens to pass the clut-
tered window of an antique shop and
notices there all but hidden by the
bric-a-brac bestrewing the showcase
a certair blue bowl fascinating de
spite a thick layer of dust A mo
meat he studies it and then feeling
that here indeed is a "find" be
straightway goes inside
But the grizzled old shopkeeper
While gently courteous is firm withal
and refuses to be tempted by an offer
of 50 pesetas declaring with many
gesticulations that the price cannot
possibly be a centimo below a bun
dred
Then weeks of haggling follow dur-
ing which time the pride of possession
enters deep into the soul of the stu-
dent while Incidentally the shopkeep
Cr comes down to 75 pesetas
And then just as the youth Is on
the point of leaving Seville and while
he Is still debating that extra 25 pe-
setas black disaster falls Two
wealthy tourists enter the shop and
from beneath the very nose of the
covetous collector carry the blue bowl
away In triumph having without de
mur paid the original price of 100
pesetas
His voice trembling with disappoint
meat the student turns wrathfully on
the old shopkeeper "You sold It for
100 and yet you offered It to me for
751 And lust as I am leaving too 1"
Reward for a Good Boy
'You are leaving Seville senor?"
Twinkling old eyes regard blazing
ones "Then amigo come with me
You have been a good boy and "
Through a mysterious door at the
back of the shop and Into an unex
pectedly large welllighted room tin-
student Is conducted There after the
old man has carefully unlocked a man'
tooth cabinet at carved wood and
thrown hack the doors are discovered
dovens of blue howls standing In neat
and silent companionship earl) an ex
art replica of the "find" in the win
"Because you have been a got)II
and (1id not tell the people of my low
er oiler I have the great honor of
presenting you xvith one of these No
amigo you shall not pay And see
you and I are great friends no? You
ray you are leaving Seville trinuirrow'r
Then I shall show you my greafrist
treasure"
A very small cabinet is thereupon
reverently approached gingerly ()fierierl
and nestling on a velvet cushion is an
exquisite blue pitcher
"Quite perfect Is It not senor save
for that infinitesimal chip out of the
lip? But it Is old my friend centur
lea old And I must tell you a very
pretty romance about how it received
that tiny blemish"
After bearing the story and with
difficulty overcoming the old man's
dogged resistance the youth Is finally
permitted to purchase the pitcher for
75 pesetas but only because "he has
been a good boy"
There Is a sequel to the story The
student returning unexpectedly to
Seville some days later and chancing
once again to pass the antique shop
beholds there all but hidden by the
jumbled odds and ends of antiquity
sadly forlorn a little blue pitcher
quite perfect save for a scarcely na
ticeable blemish in its dust-laden lip!
I Feed Value Found
I Among Farm Pests
Live Stock Made Gains on
Russian Thistle and
Bean Straw
Prepared by the tinited States Department
of Agriculture--INNU Service
Russian thistle a troublesome weed
In the West bean straw and flax-
seed were some of the little-used
plants and crops found to have con-
siderable feeding value In a series of
co-operative lamb and pig -fattening
experiments by the Colorado agricul-
tural experiment station and the Dry
Land agricultural field station of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture at Akron Colo
For one lot of 20 lambs Russian
thistles one of the common "tumble
weeds" of the western plains region
were ground fine and fed with shelled
corn and cottonseed cake for DO days
Some of the thistles were raked out of
fence corners other were cut green
and cured for the experiment Value-
ing the corn at 34 cents per bushel
the cake at $22 per ton and the ground
thistles at $350 per ton the gains of
the lambs cost $427 per 100 pounds
live weight The results from feeding
a lot of cull lambs indicate that if the
thistles are cut green and made into
hay grinding is not necessary as the
lambs consumed the whole thistles
just as readily
This thistle experiment believed to
be the first to place a definite value
on this weed as a feed is important
to the dry belt the bureau points out
because the thistle usually thrives In
drought seasons when other crops fail
When bean straw valued at $3 per
ton was fed with corn and cake to
Lambs at the same rate and value as
in the thistle lot the gains cost $360
per 100 pounds
In another comparison cut sorgo
fodder was fed to one lot of lambs
and whole sorgo fodder to another
lot The indications are that the whole
sorgo fodder at $uo per ton is a
more profitable feed than the cut fod-
der when it costs $2 per ton to cut It
Although flaxseed screenings have
been known to poison live stock in the
Colorado experiments pigs fed four-
fifths of a pound a day of unscreened
flaxseed—a home-grown protein feed—
for DO days as a supplement to four
pounds of ground hog millet showed
no ill effects but pigs fed 63! pounds
of ground hog millet one-half pound
of tankage and one-fourth pound of
flaxseed datly gained almost twice as
much Ground flaxseed meal at $30
per ton was a less economical feed
than cottonseed cake at $22 per ton
The flaxseed meal lot made consider-
ably smaller gains and required some-
what more feed per unit of gain
Amount of Skimmilk to
Balance Grain Ration
Almost all farmers recognize skim-
milk as a splendid supplemental feed
for pigs because of its high protein
value and its mineral content Some-
times the question comes up as to how
much stimmilk must be fed to bal-
ance the grains fed to growing pigs
Two to three pounds of undiluted milk
for every pound of grain in the ration
will furnish all the protein and min-
erals necessary Three pounds of milk
to one pound of grain usually is the
most desirable proportion More than
five pounds of skinmaillt per pound of
geain usually gives much less econom
lesi returns
One of the best ways to be certain
o? tile proper halanee Is to self-feed
the grain and give the pigs all the
sizinandk or buttermilk they will eon-
stunt lIuttertulik niso is Omit oplal

Beekeeping
Even during the busy days of honey
harvest the foundation for next year's
honey crop may he laid Often severe
losses are sustained and opportunities
for improvenwnt are overlooked be-
cause beekeepers are so busy harvest
ing their crop and preparing It for
market that they have little if any
time to look forward to another sea
son In localities which do not have
a fall honey flow the latter part of
the early honey flow Is an excellent
time for replacing old and otherwise
Inferior queens Even though it may
seem difficult to do in these busy days
often the most profitable work in the
apiary Is that of replacing poor queens
with good ones while this can be done
advantageously Another important
stone in the foundation Au' next year's
honey crop in localities not having a
fall honey flow is that of providing a
super of honey food chamber for each
colony to be sure to have an abund
once of stores for fall winter and
spring
