‘Dog My Cats’

CHAPEL HILL, N. C., Feb. 12—Fetch me out my gray store suit, Scipio, ‘roust my sword with the yellow tassels, and hand me my horse. Today I am a Southern Democrat and I aim to se-cede. We been putting up with a mightiful lot from that dam Yankee from Missouri, and the time has come to bust loose. The people are all riled up. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if we took Richmond before Easter. - The weather was the first thing to tell us things weren't going right in Washington. What you see floating down today ain't magnolia blossoms, son, It's snow, a-falling and a-thudding on Memphis and Mobile, from Natchez to St. Joe.

And you can bear up under two, but when you get No. 3 it's a downright trespass on states rights and we blame it all on Mr. Truman. . That carpetbagger—that carpetbagger, I say— up-yonder- had -just-touched-off-the- dadburndest crisis since they fired on Sumter. Why dog my cats he isn't but one cut better'n a Republican, with his civil rights and his anti-lynch laws and all such as that. Any day now the governor of South Carolina is going to stomp into Washington and talk turkey about the way the Democratic Party is taking a soul wounding down here in the land of cotton. As I get it, he is going to give old Harry 40 days to reconsider, and if old Harry don’t. cancel out a couple of civil liberties, it'si war! War! The Blue and the Gray, all over again. The Southern governors down in Florida have been blowing a gasket for the last couple of .days, ever since they met to talk over Harry's anti-

demonstrations in Scoutcraft, sevand Dr. Turner, speaker of the evening, was introduced. The speaker apologized for his voice, he had a cold, but jokingly said he'd try to carry on for 50 minutes as it's required of him at the university. ~*“No, my speech isn’t going to be long,” added Dr. Turner, “because scouting doesn’t thrive on words, it thrives on activity.” ; Dr. Turner began with some historic facts about the troop. National scouting began in 1910 and Troop 38 was first organized in 1914. “I joined Troop 38 in 1920," Dr, Turner said, “and at that time a buddy of mine joined, too, His name was Harold Harmon” It's a pleasure to see Mr. Harmon here tonight after all these years.”

DR. TURNER had Mr. Harmon to rise.

Governor-kissing James Folsom, of Alabama, is already thinking about a new balcony on the front side of the White House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12—A horny-handed son of the soil, such as myself, has no use for those putt-putt garden tractors. Too much walking Involved. Causes buniens, You start one of these widgets with a rope, like. an outboard motor boat. Then you grab

“the handle, as on a plow, and it drags you over

hill and dale, hauls you into ditches, and whomps you into telegraph poles. There are plenty of these devices for sale; I tried one and I haven't had such a shaking-up since--1--fell-- down the—ecellar—steps.— The--man told me all I needed was practice. That's what he thinks. What I need is a tractor with a soft seat on lop of it, because if I'm going to collide with 4 tree I want to do it sitting down. The only trouble is that tractors with four wheels and

are scarcer than new automobjles. Try to buy one from a dealer and he smiles pityingly.

ONLY TRACTORS for sale are those which Cost $1500 ten years ago. These groan and clank and spill vital pieces in the fields and cost around $2000 in the rural gray market, which is so dark It is hard to distinguish from black. I know about this, too. That is why I mushed in through the snow from my Virginia acres to the headquarters of the Agriculture Committee of the House of Representatives, The boys were considering the scarcity of sitting-down type tractors. 1 figured I might Bet a clue and it does look like I did. ; The main witness. was the Capital's leading Sobersides, Secretary of Commerce W. Averell Harriman, who testified for two solid hours without ever cracking a smile. For one thing, he said, Europe under the Marshall Plan is going to need a lot of tractors. That's where he got into trouble, “You say Europe needs more tractors,” in-
