The .Old Timer undoubtedly longs to the “horse and buggy age.’’ He has the vices of that age and also its virtues. He remembers the‘horse be-; are inextricably bound up with the ways of humanity. The world was not in such a rush in the horse and buggy. days. There was time for reflection and the digestion of facts and their relation ‘to, government, religion and private lives. He remembers somehow, that when horses and after them, came the radicals and then the communists. The Old Timer thinks that the reason we now have so many communists is because ‘horses and horse doctors have vanished from the social scene. There is a connection of course, but the Old Timer, has not yet “thought it throughh”’ But he wil). : “T read in Merciiry,’’ said the Old Timer yesterday, ‘‘that the government is spending a good many milJions annually on propaganda. The government bureaus and departments which are writing and printing tons of this medicine for the popular mind, call the stuff ‘‘educational’,’ but remembering what I do of the propaganda that was loosed during the World War, I’ll say I know propaganda when I see it. If the Smithsonian Institute, someday substitutes a new name for the inky juice that squids eject to hide themselves in, and call it educational fluid, I'll know that Dr. Roosevelt has sent *am a notice. ‘Despite the fact that some six thousand newspapers in the United day about the growth of communism, and honest people everywhere are getiing nervous, the most dignified legislative body in the world, the United States Senate, rarely emits a one of the most dangerous signs of the times. Who tells. them to keep so quiet? And what are they afraid of? “Of course, my feeling about communists is that they are underpriviliged, just as they claim they are--where I find them, underpriviliged. as a group mind you, is that they are congentitally lazy. There is a lazy streak in most of us, but most of us keep it whipped. But the communists let it get the best of them. They yammer for a division of wealth, meaning to take from him that hath and give to him that hath not. And the poor simpleton doesn’t even know, that if he were to be handed a million tomorrow, he would be stony broke, and drunk into the bargain, Saturday night. The soap-box ranter is not to blame ‘if he was born brainless. He does not know that if he went to work and put his back into it. that he could own a home, eat regularly, and raise a family. No. He wants the wealth shared now. The fellow that worked for it, saved it, accumulated it, and yes, hangs ont to it like grim death, must share it with the communists and other bums. “And these poor sockless visionaries, when they do work, listen to the first fast talker that’ comes along and organizes them in this I. W. W. or that C. I. O., collects “dues’”’ and after’they are well organized, and they have made the loud holler, and everything looks rosy for plenty of pay and no work, they wake up. The smart organizer has gone off to greener pastures to collect more money, raise more hell, and leave another group flat. And the thing that marks a communist is that they never learn. The I. W. W. army were robbed by smart organizers. Among the communists today ‘you will find white whiskered I-Wont’-Works, that were cleaned 3 years ago by other smart organizers. They never learn to beware of a fast talker. These old boys have spent enough money on organizers, spellbinders and agitators to have bought-themselves a rose covered cottage in the West. “Now these birds that wish for a THIS IS HISTORY TURNING POINT, . SAYS SAVANT: LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19.—Is the contemporary crisis of Western society and civilization a normal crisis such as occurs frequently and ~egularly in the progress of nations, or is it a crisis involving all western culture and society? One of the world’s foremost living sociologists answered the question from his own philosophic standpoint before a large University of California at Los Angeles Summer Session audinece this week. He is Pitirim Alexandorovich Sorokin, Harvard University’s famed sociologist, whose monumental publication “Social and Cultural Dynamics” is currenfly causing international speculation and interest. “We are living at one of the greatest turning points of history, where we find one form of. (civilization and culture—the Sensate— which seems to be declining before other forms of culture and civilization to come. We are in a transition period. How long it will continue no one can tell,’’ said Dr. Sorokin, who is a visiting member of the 1937 U. Cc. L. A. summer session faculty. ‘In the near future we should expect a considerable amotint of conflicts such as wars, revolutions and mental and moral disturbances and _ disorders. This, however, does not mean, in contradistinction to Spengler and others, the end of our western culture and society. It means that after} that period of Sensate culture a new period of Ideational culture will rise, again with its magnificent peaks and systems of values, CAMPTONVILLE CAST PRESENTS COMEDY CAMPTONVILLE, Aug. 2°%.—The;} young people of the community gave, an enetrtainment Thursday evening: at the local Masonic hall for the ben-. efit of the new roof for the hall.

It tells of the long winter nights by the big glorious fire places, but never a word about vicious bedbugs that won't let ’em get a wink of sleep. Now that, of course, is not altogether the truth, but it does illustrate the word, propaganda. “Thé New Deal, so far as I have observed, has never told the whole truth in-any of its literature, which runs into thousands of tons, trainloads and Postoffice deficits.

The third time missing was unlucky for Wrest. Judge Coughlin declared his bail of $500 cash forfeited and fined him $100 with the alternative of 25 days in the county jail and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Wrest was seen on Washington street this. morning by one of the deputies as he drove past the sheriff’s office. In case Wrest appears with a reasonable excuse for his repeated absence, Judge Coughlin stated he would reconsider the forfeiture of bail. Game Warden Hiscox and deputies from the sheriff’s office are now looking for Wrest in order to serve the bench warrant upon him. Judge Coughlin in commenting on the case said: “The act itself was one of the most wanton and despicable crimes which waste the fish and game resources of the state.

An individual who would stoop to kill hundreds of fish to get a few choice ones displays a vicious and selfish nature, and probably the proper remedy is} not in the statute. This same spirit is exemplified by the fact that the defendants has failed to,appear for judghent. The defendant evidently. isn’t man enough to face this court for judgment.

The third time missing was unlucky for Wrest. Judge Coughlin declared his bail of $500 cash forfeited and fined him $100 with the alternative of 25 days in the county jail and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Wrest was seen on Washington street this. morning by one of the deputies as he drove past the sheriff’s office. In case Wrest appears with a reasonable excuse for his repeated absence, Judge Coughlin stated he would reconsider the forfeiture of bail. Game Warden Hiscox and deputies from the sheriff’s office are now looking for Wrest in order to serve the bench warrant upon him. Judge Coughlin in commenting on the case said: “The act itself was one of the most wanton and despicable crimes which waste the fish and game resources of the state. To perpetuate the natural condition of the streams of the state theré has been expended a great deal of money and labor. If a man were in need and hungry he ‘DIAGNOSIS OF REV. DUNCAN'S — PROVED CORRECT G. B. Ball, wait sh man, who has been e, lame for several years, called at the Rey. Ethel Duncan's office in the could plead that' as justification for unlawfully taking fish or game to, sustain himself but even then the , need should be real and actual. The . mean and shameful spirit exemplified . by the commission of such an act as . “blasting” fish is repugnant to the sense of decency and sportsmanship which an honest and fair man should pride himself on having. An individual who would stoop to kill hundreds of fish to get a few choice ones displays a vicious and selfish nature, and probably the proper remedy is} not in the statute. This same spirit is exemplified by the fact that the defendants has failed to,appear for judghent. The defendant evidently. isn’t man enough to face this court for judgment. If a bench warrant is issued in this case the court will expect the officers to use every dilig-ence in attempting to apprehend the' defendant. It is not to be presumed . that judgment in this ease would be satisfied by only a fine.’’ QUICK ACTION OF FOREST .
