In some cases, in both parties, it meant a split with a third party in the field. All such incidents led to disaster for the party involved, with no possible chance for the election of a third party ticket. It now looks as though the Democratic party may face such a split next year. The followers of Henry Wallace demand the nomination of their favorite, or else. Wallace on a third party ticket will insure the election of a Republican president. It does not call for a political seer to see that result EADgWN Released by Western Newspaper Union. the Farm Front By INEZ GERHARD the the that fact DESPITE drive of the 80th WHEN Mark Hellingers picture, "Brute congress was made largely at Force, was shown on the the expense of the farmers coast, two young autograph and the consumers in the coun- hunters rushed up to Burt try, there was ample evidence in star of the film but the closing days that a new leader- Lancaster, to write his he as prepared ship in behalf of the farmers of the demanded Are ner table at a Santa Monica, Calif., hotel. The occasion was a modest celebration of a wedding anniversary. The five had participated in a wedding breakfast in Chicago 54 years before. The conversation harked back to condition of 1893. I frequently recall the wonders to me of that trip from Iowa into Chicago, said the bride of 54 years The train seemed so luxuriago. ous, and it went so fast it seemed to fly. It was luxurious for that day, said the bridegroom of 54 years ago, but it was hot and dirty. It was not vestibuled; it one of was not the coal oil lamps, with which the Pullman was lighted, was smoking badly; there was no push button with which to call the porter. We did not have to carry our dinner in a box, for that train did have one of the marvels of transportation at that time, a dining car. As for speed, it averaged nearly 18 miles an hour. It was a wonderful breakfast we had that morning we arrived, and I wonder if any of us could now prepare such a breakfast on 'a wood put in the burning cook stove, bride. The people who were there were . sure the Jjride and bridegroom would come out from the station in & hansom cab, but you did not, you arrived in a one horse hack. I was waiting for you on the front steps, said one of the dinner guests, a bride 56 years, before. Of course, you couldnt phone when you reached the station, for only the very rich then could afford a phone. CRUDE BUT HAPPY LIVING For well onto three hours those five people talked of the joys and griefs of living in that time, more than half a century ago. The bride told of the housing shortage in Chicago, caused by the opening of the Worlds Columbian exposition early in June. All three women had been brides of, for that period, reasonably salaried office men, who had earned in a week, six days, what a trained worker in any trade would enm in one day at this time. Those three brides of half a century ago and more, compared the drudgery of doing the family washing in a wash tub, rubbing and scrubbing on a . washboard, with the automatic washers and ironers of today. They recalled the cleaning of lamp chimneys, the filling of lamps and the trimming of wicks. All five, women and men, remembered with a thrill the evenings they spent together around the organ, played by the daughter of the landlady with . whom the host and hostess of the day had lived. They talked of the delights of Chicago when the city had a population of about a quarter million people, and now nearing four million. The women talked of clothes; of those wild and woolly Chicago days when women were not permitted to appear on the streets wearing skirts that were not down at least to the shoe tops. Considered on the basis of todays standards, life was crude, but it was a pleasing memory. They did not have automobiles, moving pictures, radio, or television. Homes were not equipped with the thousand and one gadgets that make life easier today. The difference between 1893 and today marks some of the progress America has made in half a century; a progress that has nowhere near been equalled in any other country in the world. But this is America. We must keep it America, and not try to imitate the back, ward nations of Europe and Asia.

Make it so good and interesting that they just cant refuse it! You may have found that coax- ing helps your family to eat lilncheon and dinner, but as you may know, it just wont work for breakfast. The things that do work are variety, downright good food, gay, cheerful dishes and linens, and pleasant attitudes. Of course the time element is important, and this may need a bit of working on if your folks are in the habit of sleeping until the last minute and then trying to dash off some fruit juice and coffee. When you sit down to think about it, those five minutes extra sleep really dont make you any more rested, so get the family up early enough to eat breakfast properly. Mother can help this along by getting up and starting breakfast. The smell of pancakes or bacon plus the aroma of coffee really does help in getting the family started on their way out of bed.' Breakfast should start off with fruit or fruit juice. This not only is refreshing, but also is a good way to get started off on those vitamins and minerals for the day. Follow the fruit with cereal, prepared or cooked, and vary this from day to day. If the cereal looks a bit plan to serve fruit with it to add a touch of color and flavor. Eggs are recommended for breakfast whether you have to watch your calories or boost them. But, do serve them in different ways so they always remain interesting. -- Then, too, you can use eggs in waffles and pancakes when real variety is desired. Interesting breakfast breads do a, lot toward making the meal one to with anticipate delight.
