“Iffl DON'T YOU CRY WITH HER, FATHER?" said Caroline l^/ * ILiJjJ I* PHILIP RUTLEDGE was forced to the wall, the Rutledge fortune wiped out, the ancestral Rutledge estate put up on the auction block. But to Caroline Rutledge the catastrophe lav most of all in the revelation n gave her of her parents. Her lovely sophisticated mother, the queenly woman who ■loved through the high society of Europe and America with exquisite poise and assurance, was sobbing in fright. And Philip, her adored father, lord of the town, handsome, confident, seemingly a cower of strength—Philip Rutledge whined and made puny excuses and never raised a hand to restore his losses. . . . No wonder Caroline, her heart sick at the surrender of her elders, flashed at Philip "Why don’t you cry with her, father. . YOU’LL meet for the first time in the story of Caroline Rutledge a brand new type of modern girl who will thrill you. Caroline was brought up to have everything, to live in a world of luxury and pleasure. And now blows of fortune send her whole world crashing—force her tobuild a completely new life—a life for which she is wholly, utterly un- | prepared—a life in which everything, even love and romance, is entirely different from what she Tiir T|in|| i |*ip has known.

Through tho gieat wheat ami corn belt- across Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Mis-, souri, Kansas, Nebraska the toil in crop damage was terrific. Experts say It has passed j $2,000,000,000 this year. The last sen n days have dashed virtually every hope that the broiling countiyside might recov-1 er. even with a period of real I gully washers, from six months of drought. In the week temperatures ran from 5 to 30 degrees

above normal. Over eight states the temperature averaged close to 100 degrees, and In many plat es never fell below that mark Rain fell only locally and so lightly as to be of no value Thunderstorms and high winds ] touched Minnesota und North Daj kola in the hist two days, but revival of wilted corn was Im-! | possible.

He proscribed selfish profit by the few at tlie expense of the many. But the President said the methods employed in seeking social justice would not "rob Peter to pay Paul.” "Tile processes we follow do not in adding to general prosperity take from one and give to another," he said. "We are concerned with more than mete subtraction and addition. We are concerned with the multiplication of wealth through co-operative action; wealth in which all can share.” Tlie address contained political I I implications which may figure in I th“ three-ring show developing in this state. By indirection. Mr. Roosevelt uttered what observers regarded as an appreciative endorsement of Senator Robert M. LaFollette, progressive republican who bolted Herbert Hoover in 1932 to support the new deal. The President departed from his text to make the endorsement i even stronger by mentioning by ; [ name Senators laiiFollette and Ryan Duffy for their cooperation with the administration. The crowd cheered lustily. Wisconsin democrats will oppose LaFollette this year with a man of their own party. The youthful insurgent heads the ticket of a I third party movement and there will he a regular republican slate | in the Wisconsin field. The Presid mt said: i “Your two senators, both old friends of mine, ; nd many others •uive wnrknd with mu in mfUn-

mining excellent co-operation between the executive and legislative brunches ot the governmeet. I take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude to them." Mr. Roosevelt, In fighting 1 words, lost little time in getting 1 down to cases, summing up briefI ly the birth of the new deal and i [pointing out the obstacles which i may hinder complete fulfillment. | , the persons who cull for expies-1 l slims of confidence from the ..<!• ! ministration. At the same time. I however, he explained : “This government Intends no InI jury to honest business. The pro--1 cesses wo follow in seeking social I justice do not in adding to general prosperity take from one and give Ito another. In this modern world. I the spreading out of opportunity I ought not to consist of robbing Pi ter t< pay Paul.” “We arc concerned,” he emphasized, "with more Ilian mere sale I truction and adult ion. We are concerned with the multiplieation i of wealth thriu-h co-operative action; wealth in which all can share." "These high »urposes must be accompanied by co-operation among those charged by the people with the duties of government. I am glad to be in a state from which 1 have greatly drawn in setting up the permanent and temporary agencies of government." Mr. Roosevelt contrasted the new deal with the pioneering spirit shown by the early Wisconsin I settler., when he observed that “we are but carrying forward the pioneering methods to the better use of vast land and water re-1 sources what God has given us to use as trustees not only for ourselves but for future generations.” “But man is fighting also those forces which disregard human cooperation and human rights i-i seeking that kind of individual prpfit which is gained at the expense of his fellows. “It is just as hard to achieve harmonious and co-operative a, - lion among human beings as it is , | to conquer the forces of nature , I Only through the submerging of , individual desires into unselfish and practical cooperation can civilization grow." Action, however, tho President warned, may lie delayed by two types of individuals. o Manv Reunions Scheduled For Summer Months 1 1 Sunday August 12 iSityTer R trnion. Legion Memorial Park. Decatur.
