So they want freedom of the press curbed.” Outlining measure, the candidate said: “Someone may not like the fact that some newspapers have told how corn imports have jumped from 347.000 bushels in 1932 to 88 million bushels in 1937." he said “They say I haven't played fair on that . . . because I haven't mentioned the corn exports. I didn't tell the whole story and neither did they. “Corn exports dropped from eight million bushels in 1932 to six million bushels in 1237." Offering the "rest of the story they want revealed,” Mr. Willis said that wheat exports had fallen from 54 million bushels to 32 million bushels over the same period. He hinted he would tell more about WPA in his Evansville speech Sept. 21, and said: “Some of my friends have been a little worried because the senior Indiana Senator called me an infernal liar in connection with my claim that only 40 per cent of the money

HE “good earth”—rich, black, freshly furrowed,

ready for the seed...is a symbol, a good symbol. It

means that men are working toward a new harvest.

A good harvest that means food “laid by in the cel-

lar” and extra cash in the county seat bank. A good

harvest whose bounty touches alike the crossroads

storekeeper and the men of the cities.

In our 66 years in business we've seen times

when storm and blight and pest brought destruc-

tion to the harvest and black despair to men. But

each new season America’s sturdy men of the soil

have plowed again and looked toward the new

harvest. And we have learned from them and gone

forward... because we've had confidence in you

and you in us.
