Thirteen Buffalo Become 5,200 Pounds of Good Meat COLDWATER, MICH. - Thirteen buffalo that ran at large, trampling lawns and frightening Coldwater's citizens, were just 5,200 pounds of tasty meat ready for sale to bidders. bid-ders.

But there are some thLigs our totalitarian neighbors would never be able to understand about us. They just would not get it. The way we argued ar-gued and fussed over the labor bill Congress just passed, for example. Then when the bill became law, we all settled down to lee if we can abide by it This Is what we call majority rule, through the elect ed representaUves of the people. In our kind of set-up, people are given credit for being able to think for themselves. Facts are easy to get hold of. Viewpoints may be freely expressed. We make up our minds, and our representaUves at the seat of government try to carry out our wishes. Things do not go like this in the totalitarian countries. Such questions would never be placed before the people in the first place. Regardless of everything else, the will of the dictator dic-tator would prevail. Labor Shows Spirit Organized labor, in its attitude toward the Taft-Hartley Bill, has demonstrated the manner in which the "people's mandate" is accepted in a land where laws are determined deter-mined by the will of the majority, buthere all minorities are respected. respect-ed. The bill was the most controversial con-troversial legislation to come up in years. Much feeling was developed. Lobbying was eveiywhere. Yet, when the labor bill became law over the President's veto, and when the President had stated that he'd sincerely enforce it and not sabotage the law, the top leaders of labor affirmed there would be no general protect strikes. Rightly, they declared they would test it in the courts, where laws should be tested. If the legislation is in error, time will tell. In the true Amer ican tradition of fairness and jus tice, we are awaiting the proving and testing of the new law. The Way It Works Now,' I would like to say that the whole nation's economy is the direct result of this sort of thing. We may not like the decision of the majority, but we go along and make it work. We bank on the majority being right. We are willing to let the majority, through our elected representatives, write the laws. Economics used to be a big word. Now, nearly everybody understands it to mean the way we use our re sources and consume our wealth. This Includes production, buying, and selling. It includes the activities activi-ties of labor and of management. Traditionally, in this .country, we have allowed our economy to remain re-main free of artificial barriers which would hamper its natural laws, like that of supply and demand, de-mand, for instance. The important thing is: free trading trad-ing and buying and selling (that is, an economy which freely belongs to the people), works best when we have a truly representative government. govern-ment. They go hand in hand. Tyrants Ty-rants and dictators never let these things go free. A restricted economy econ-omy and a non-representative gov ernment, you'll find, are always part and parcel of the totalitarian method. This method never pays high wages. In-America we have a great land. We pay the highest wages men ever earned. Let's kei f it that way! And free!

WASHINGTON Trends so far In 1947 Indicate the year may bring the highest annual farm earnings In history, according to officials who worked on the reports. They say the American farmer is taking in more money than ever before, despite mounting production costs. In survey prepared by the department de-partment of agriculture it was estimated esti-mated that total cash receipts for farmer during the first eight months of 1947 reached 17.4 billion dollars a 21 per cent gain over the same period of 1946, a record year. Great Gross Income. Between January 1 and the end of August, the report showed, agriculture agricul-ture as an industry had a greater gross income than in any corresponding corre-sponding period in history. But the higher income is not all clear gain for the farmer, the report added. His operating costs are continuing con-tinuing to increase. In 1946, the expenses ex-penses of operating farms went up 9 per cent. No estimate was made for 1947 expenses. "The average farm operator realized real-ized a net income of $2,541 from agriculture and government payments pay-ments In 1946," after the payment of taxes and other expenses, the report re-port said. This was 19 per cent more than in 1915. The farm payments program expired ex-pired June 30 this year. Farmer income skyrocketed this year because of continuing unprecedented unprece-dented demands for his products, the report showed. Eating More Meat. The American consumer, for Instance, In-stance, is eating more meat per capita than he has since 1911. Also, he has more money. Most of the farmers' Income gain, the report observed, could be at tributed to "an Increase of 24 per cent in prices." One authority on livestock described de-scribed the situation this way: Consumers, with more money than ever before, are demanding more meat. This has kept meat prices up. Consequently, livestock products which include meat, meat prod-' ucts, dairy and poultry accounted for 10.8 billion dollars in farm income in-come during the first eight months of 1947 an increase of 30 per cent over the 1946 period. ( The report said that wheat went Into the market in "unprecedented volume" and at "unutually high prices." One authority said that the export demand was the primary factor in keeping wheat prices at top levels this year. , i He said European grain fields vere wrecked by the war and Eu-, Eu-, ipe suffered from unfavorable growing conditions. Benzedrine Bait Lure for Big Fish, Physician Finds CHICAGO. A medical man came up with a "surefire" formula for hooking the big fish just feed the worms with benzedrine and watch the fish bite. For several weekends, Dr. George Apfelbach, a Chicago physician, has been fishing in a creek near his summer home. But they wouldn't nibble. So the doctor dissolved a small benzedrine tablet a pep pill in alf a glass of water. Into the solu- on he dropped a night-crawler, normally a lethargic, unemotional worm. ' Instantly, Apfelbach said, the worm was galvanized Into action. Apfelbach impaled the worm, still thrashing, on a fishhook and cast it into the creek. A moment later, he said, he caught . a five-pound bass. I Since then, the doctor claims, he ; has caught lots of black bass. Parents' Complaints Curb Bells of Ice Cream Men I LOS ANGELES. Some parents i protested that ice cream trucks, with their bells and mechanical tune .teasers, made too much racket late at night. So the bosses of the city's 600 ice cream men met with Kenneth Hahn, chairman of the city council public health and welfare committee, and Hahn said, agreed to these regulations: regula-tions: Street selling to cease at 9 p. m. Tone volume to be reduced, generally. gen-erally. The call of the ice cream cars to be silenced entirely around churches, hospitals and schools. Pet Groundhog Strays and Zoo Acquires New Inmate PHILADELPHIA. Raymond P. Shockley agreed reluctantly to leave bis pet groundhog, Suzy, at the Philadelphia zoo. "But It's going to be awfully lonesome," he said. In the five months that Suzy lived at the Shockley home she won family fam-ily acclaim as "a nice pet even better than a cat or dog," her master mas-ter said. But Suzy strayed and a woman called two men to capture the "large rat." The zoo, where the captors took Suzy, said it would be happy to have her.
