Each group depends on the other, each buys the products pro-ducts of the other, and you would think their interests would be the same. But there has been, and is today, definit-i conflict con-flict of interests. The current legal attack by processors on the AAA is the thing that has brought the question into relief. Here is a law taxing the consumer (through the processor as collector) col-lector) to benefit farmers and give them the difference between be-tween low world prices for farm products and the prices that we believe an American standard requires. The big industrial processors and distributors are now attacking this law as unconstitutional. Maybe it is. Time and the courts will tell. But from Texas farmers, who have benefited from the AAA program, comes a counter attack. "All right," say they, "if you wreck the processing taxes which protect us from ruinous world competition, then we'll go out to wreck the tariffs that have protected you from world competition." And of course the wages and jobs of American factory workers, as well as the profits of the manufacturers, have been protected by the tariff from foreign competition. Thus the conflict. The farmers have always paid higher prices for clothing and tools, because they either paid the tariff on the imported kino or paid to American makers a price equal to the foreign price plus tariff. Now they say you city people must pay prices for wheat and corn equal to the foreign price plus proces The difference between mainly this: the money col general treasury for the usi cessing taxes is paid directly Thus there is apparently a ( the Constitution.

Politics being what it is, and politicians being- what they are, this sort of thing is to be expected. It is disappointing to discover business adopting the same tactics, which must be vigorously condemned by every decent American. In the end. rumor-mongers always defeat themselves because the rumor they start grows and grows, as it passes from mouth to ear to mouth, until finally it becomes so grotesque and impossible that it collapses of its own weight. Newspapers are familiar with most of the absurd rumors ru-mors that are floated. Often, they are exhorted by readers to "print the facts" which some reader has heard from the friend of a friend of a friend of someone. When the newspapers news-papers prefer to stick to the truth, they are criticized for concealing something". Actually, nothing is publication, by every newspaper, of the facts.

Bright Moments In Great Lives Thomas W. Lawsun, the famous fam-ous financier, author and sportsman, sports-man, who made a fortune dabbling dabbl-ing in stocks, whose string of race horses for many years was among the finest in the land, who spent $200,000 building a house on a cliff simply because his wife said she would like a home built there, was one of the most eccentric men this country has ever produced. He was a great scholar, among his other attainments, and the possessor of a quick and ready wit. One day an acquaintance, seeking seek-ing to find his method of making a fortune on the market, said to him. "Mr. Lawsun, just what, if I might ask, is the best way to make money (puck in the market?" mar-ket?" "My friend." Lawson replied, 'the best way to do is to stay out unless you're on the inside."

"Rut you see, I'm an orrtdoor man. Always Al-ways hare been ..." ''Here's what I think, Michael." Pally put, her head on one side, looking like a plump, bright-eyed and extremely knowing bird. "You're a simpleton. That's what you are, really, not to grab the rhance. First thing you know, people would forget all about the riding business . . . they'd be accepting ac-cepting you . . .

They were in the overstuffed eomfort of the Moon living room, all fat red couches and taffeta pillows pil-lows and stiff carved chairs. An ornate lamp shed an effulgent glow on Sally, who sat curled up, little girl fashion, in one corner of the deepest couch and played with Michael's fingers. "Love me, darlin'?" He had to answer this question half a dozen times a day, for Sally had the instinct in-stinct of possessiveness enormously developed. She needed to be reassured. re-assured. Michael Heatheroe. with his engagement three weeks old. told himself over and over again that, of course, he loved the little thing. It would be less than decent de-cent to refuse her the affection she demanded. The night she had so surprisingly told her father that they were to be married, Michael had quite simply failed to find words to refute the statement.

She was seen every place with that doctor chap from the city. "They're both sticks," Sally had said to Michael, cuddling against Lis shoulder. "Now you and I, Michael, we're real people we hate and love and scratch and bite when we're angry. Don't you hate violently, vio-lently, Michael? I hope you do, because I'm a regular little spitfire. spit-fire. I warn you ..." She loved to talk about herself - her tastes, her opinions. Michael did not really listen to all of it. Often he found his thoughts wandering wan-dering to Katharine Strykhurst. . . . He had passed her on Main Street only yesterday. For a split second he had thought she was going go-ing to stop and talk to him. But with a cool bow she had passed on . . . ". . . you're not even listening," Sally pouted. "Yes, I am. I heard every single word." "Father's really pleased about our engagement," Sally went on. "He pretended at first he wasn't you remember? Then he decided he was glad I was settling down. I've always had so much attention he was afraid I might run off and do something really crazy. You remember that orchestra lender I told you about down at Miami last year ?" Michael remembered. "Well, and he thinks you're per-f'ly per-f'ly fine, Michael, honestly. Kiss me," she demanded suddenly, greedily, ending the discussion as she always ended it. But he would not go into the bank, her father's bank, to please her. He would not go with her to the country club or the yacht club or the swimming pool until he had proved himself. She could coax and pout as she would. Michael knew this much. A man had to be the master. He had to have the last word . . . Dimly Sally recognized this strength, respected it, even while she attempted to tear it down. "He's a match for you," fat Joseph Jo-seph Moon said, with his wide smile. "I don't care what the town people say, whether the old tabbies say you're getting a roughneck or what; he's a man." C ALLY tossed her head. "They're all jealous, that's what they are." She was jealous of every move Michael made. She had formed a habit of loitering around the riding academy even after her hours of exercises were ended. Michael, helpless in this particular matter, had to listen to a good deal of comment criticism. She wanted to make him over. She wanted to make the place over. When they were married, she would say, luxuriating in the thought, they would rebuild the house. They would put a glassed-in glassed-in porch over there; they would add a big, white-tiled kitchen. "But you won't run the school any more, Michael?" He set his jaw stubbornly. "Why not? It's the work I know best." She set herself the task of winning win-ning him over. "Ah, but that won't do, Michael. You can raise horses for racing for the track, whatever you call it. We'll travel.

"But darling, it rnnunt be clone." She punctuated '.he last three words with little butterfly but-terfly kisses. "Is my great big man cross at his poor little girlie?" she demanded brightly. Michael surveyed her with a quizzical air. "Sally, do you realize real-ize we've been over this ground at least three times before? And that you've said precisely the same thing?" "Have we, sweets? Well, I'm sorry. But you're such a mule, I have to say things a dozen times to make any impression." TT was a false position Michael was in. Ho knew it, and from gallantry, masculine weakness- what you will was unable to free himself from it. Sally's adoration was ften very sweet to him; this he Vmili not deny. But in the main, he had the sensation sen-sation of being a very large, very clumsy fly caught in a particularly particular-ly sticky web. Many men, he reminded re-minded himself, had married without being desperately in love with the women they married. He had been told this; he had read it in books. Often fine-marriages were built on juit such foundations. Sally was pretty, strong, healthy, generous. What more did he want? In his wildest dreams he could not expect anything any-thing more of a wife. Or could he? Wasn't there, somewhere, a spark waiting to be kindled? Hadn't dark blue eyes flashed a messago to him more than once during this drowsy summer? Had he ever felt, for a single instant with Sally, one-tenth one-tenth of the pure emotion he had known those few instants he had held Katharine's slender body in his arms? Well, that had been a sort of madness. It was over now. The best way the clearest way was to take the path Sally had pointed out to him. She would be a true and faithful wife; they would, some day, have strong children Sturdy little boys with Sally'9 opaque, dark eyes and her flashing flash-ing smile.
