Roosevelt loves the Supreme Couit any better because his plan to change that judicial body was Deaten, no one In Washington ever believed. Last week when he got around to signing the modest Court Bill finally enacted by Congress, he made it the occasion for a statement that served political purposes: It demonstrated that he had not backed down from his original views. It peppered the meek bill actually passed with criticisms designed to show its total inadequacy. And finally it insisted that his own defeated plan was not just the President's desire but one of the heart's desire of the People. Wrote he; the slow and uncertain processes of the law. . . I spoke, therefore, for an upbuilding process, not only to preserve the independence and integrity of the judiciary, but to reinforce it and strengthen it as an essential and honored part of our institutions. . . In effect, I spoke in behalf of the American people in their desire for increased re- spect for, and confidence in, speedy and fundamental justice as represented by the Federal Courts." The Act's seven sins of ommission as outlined in the President's message, were its failure to: (1) Relieve "the burden now imposed on the Supreme Court." (2) Increase lower court personnel. (3) Provide "effective means of assigning District judges to pressure areas." (4) Set up "flexible machinery. . . readily adaptable to needs as they arise." (5) Adjust crowded lower court people are restive under dockets. (6) provide for "new blood" on Federal benches. (7) Touch the problem of "aged reand infirm judges who fail to tire or resign. . ."

FINAL CHECK UP Mr. Citizen of Box Elder County: Your great Box Elder County Fair and Rodeo is just one week away. Have you groomed that horse, or dairy cow, or calf, or sheep or other animal for entry at the fair? Have you selected your fruits and vegetables, your grains and flowers? And Mrs. Housewife and daughters, have you selected that piece of needlework, or some other handicraft you have done for the fair? If you are doing these things, you are one of the citizens who is working for the progress and rvmr Turkey growers of the valley have been experiencing some difficulty with j disease among their flocks and in many instances, according to the report of a prominent turkey grower, the losses have been heavy. While some progress has been made In head- -' ing off the disease, It has been a stub born fight and losses continue. Last year turkey raisers were quite successful In rearing their flocks, but prices were low and many of them came out in the small end of the horn while others merely broke even. Unless turkey growers are assured of a better price this year In the mar- -' ket of their flocks, their losses would be heavy in face of the mortality rate among their birds.
