She has been blind for twenty years and the.doctors are unable to say why nature is righting the impairment left by a childhood illness. But Jane isn’t questioning Nature’s methods because she is too happy ait the realization she soon be able to see again. Did I ever tell you about my Aunt Cordelia, Boss. She and my untle Hy live down in Dog Holler, Missouri. Unele Hy runs a real old-fashioned country store where you can buy anything you need like a peck] of potatoes, a chaw of tobacco or a pair of galluses. Aunt Cordy helps Uncle Hy in the store once in awhile but most of the time she is, puttering around the house canning fruit, pre: serving or making jells. But my Aunt’s favorite occupation is “curing” people of something or other. Honest to goodness, , Boss. that woman should have been'a doctor. Now take this Jane Borsch case for an example. It remind me _ of Aunt Cordy’s Indian Eye Water remedy. She told me one time when I was down there that she paid an old Indian woman in the Cherokee Nation fifty cents for this prescription. She will not, however, let her own family know its full composition so I can’t give you the receipt even you asked me for it. But I do know, that among other ingredients, she stews up some gum arabic, salt’ and water to a certain point then puts in a bottle and shakes it until her side-combs fall out. Uncle Hy uses it to remove film from horses’s eyes and Aunt Cordy cured the preacher of inflamed eyelids with only two applications, as they saying is, after he had “tried everything else.”’ There is just one thing Io ike about living up here in the mountains, Boss, and that is I can always find something to write about. Now when Iiwoke up this morning it was snowing and by the time we had breakfast it was raining and by the middle of the afternoon the wind was blowing a gale. And such a gale! The blasts swept in over the hills and played hide and seek up and down the chimney on our hut. Our stove is a pitiful relic of the days of '49 and resented the wind’s playful mood. It choked and backfired and flames jumped out all around the lids and reached for the ceiling. Blue smoke filled every room and all day long our eyes streamed with tears and we coughed until our ears rang. We pleaded with that stove, Boss. even tried scolding it. Then we put the oven in neutral, the damper/in high and burned our fingers working all the gadgets ‘but no luck. Every time the house would warm up a little we would have to open the windows and doors to let the smoke out, We got so cold we toon the blankets off the beds, wrapped them around ou: shoulders and played Eskimo. And I’m telling you if this wind doesn’t let up. by dinner time we will complete the picture by eating our fish raw. XMAS BONUS FOR ACME BREWERIES EMPLOYEES Karl F.

EDITOR ACCUSED OF LIBELING FDR. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 28.—Th? constitutional rights of a free press are involved in criminal libel proceedings brought against P. Milton Smith, editor of the Mountain View (Calif.) Register-Leader, in a case which has attracted national interest because of its far-reaching implications. Smith, ‘veteran publisher of one of California’s leading country weekliés, was arrested December 1 on a charge of libeling President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The ‘warrant was sworn to by Horace Beales, president of the Mountain View Patriotic league, who likened the attack on the President to ‘‘anarehy.”’ The complaint, which Smith branded: as ‘fan attempt to muzzle me-— to ‘end the freedom of the. press,’’ was \based on an editorial printed in the Register-Leader November 27 in which he termed the President ‘‘a man universally hated for a smiling hypocrité, a mounteback of the lowest order and. the biggest ‘‘false alarm’’ since the creation of man.” Replying tothe charges, Smith asserted “‘That’s ot criminal libel. That is the expression of an opinion and I have a right to express my opinion and I have a right to express inion of a public officer. It makes-no criminal chargé. against the President. Even though this is only a weekly newspaper, I have every right to publish» my opinion ‘as has the editor of any newspaper in the country,” he declared, “and when they attempt to stop me they are interfering with my guarantted rights.” In San Francisco, where Yistrict Attorney Fred L. Thomas of Santa Clara county ¢cunferred with United States Attorney M. H. McPike, the latter expressed,the opinion that the charges against Editor Smith were “too puny” to be further prosecuted, especially in the face of the fact that Christmas Carols 2 2 8 By Katherine Edelman ARREN ELMORE was mad—angry through and through. For the first time i:. his business career he had had a quarrel with his partner. Of course it had been all Peter’s fault, but even that thought didn’t help so very much. The old saying, ‘‘It takes two to make a quarrel’’ kept bothering him. What was it that his wife had told him to get at Grant’s? He asked himself the question as he entered the big department store. Hose for Muriel, that was it! Both‘er Christmas shopping, anyway; why didn’t Beverly tend to things herself? . . As he walked down the crowded aisles, he was conscious of music from the balcony. An orchestra was up theré playing Christmas carols. Warren Elmore forgot his peeve against the world; he‘ hurried up and joined the happy crowd. His voice joined in ‘‘O Little Town of Bethlehem.’”’ It was followed by the glorious ‘‘Adeste Fideles.’’ Then came . ‘‘Silent Night.” As its beautiful strains filled the store Warren Elmore was conscious that all anger was disappearing from his heart . . . He wanted to get back to the office, to slap old Peter ,on the back, and tell him they were a pair of fools for letting such a small thing interfere with their friendship . . And man-like, he purchased six pairs of hose for Muriel instead of three on the way out. A store that took time and thought for Christmas carols should be rewarded a little bit, he believed.

It is constitutionally 85 per cent of the newspapers of the country had criticized Roosevelt prior to election and nothing had been done about them. Preliminary hearing of, the case, however, was postponed until January 12, with neither side moving ‘for dismissal of the charges. (ee Editorial oponion on the case, as expressed by numerous California newspapers, was unanimous in te belief that Smith had not exceeded his rights in frankly expressing his opinion of the President, although a few editors held that his words may have been ill-chosen. The Mountain View Register-Leader is one of California’s largest, most substantial weekly newspapers. It was founded 48 years ago by the late Frank Bacon, the renowned “Lightnin’ actor. Smith has been editor and publisher for the last 32 years.
