In 1940 the total farm income was about Just under $9,000,000,000. $1,383 for each of the approximately 6,500,000 farms in the nation. The future of the farm income in this country lies in two directions. One is increased production of the farm products w;e can, and do to some extent, raise in this country, but which we now import to the extent of about $1,500,000,000 each year, and a protected market for such products. In that list there are some 60 items American farmers can raise if properly encouraged to gut.d ciawl b H Mmtv A insti-- i da in tills ahuiit the ap. r t it h., pul a , ..11 at fuu i o'l lui k 'It it- ti pi i emit r was put ,i m in fjn.nis . .

Kloctric waves picked up by the antenna are transferred to a standard radio receiver which amplifies it into energy. This energy operates a moving pen which draws a line on a scroll chart that constantly unrolls beneath it. The pen traces form of the wave in a vertical zigzag line which reveals the maximum and minimum strength of the signal. All bearings are based upon the minimum signal, or "null." as it is called by radio engineers. The null Is recorded when the revolving antenna is exactly at right angles to the direction from which the signal class Lord Lothian did not actually ask He merely listed for these ships Uie vt ssels wluih Bntuiii desperately needed But Roosevelt continued to shy a way Horn Uie Idea of convoying British ships with U S. naval vessels.

The British picture was also made depressing by Uie difficulty of finishing work on vessels in British shipyards Two battleships of the King George class were launched last spring, but since then no ship of any importance has come off the ways.

In some cases that daily income averages out to little more than a dollar. A survey of the incomes of more than 12 000 tenant families released by USHA shows that 47 8 per cent earn less than $899 a year In the case of 2.6 per cent of the families the annual income is actually un- der $400.

"Racket trade MINNEAPOLIS schools are springing up all over the United States to take advantage of the anxiety of young men to secure quick training for defense jobs Like most rackets, the "gyp" jobtraining school is flourishing on a wave of popular enthusiasm for something legitimate, and is "muscling in" among the many legitimate schools for trade and vocational training The job of separating the good schools from the bad is complicated for the ambitious young job seeker by the fact that some new trade schools are entirely legitimate and have been established due to the fact that many older schools are already crowded to capacity and have long waiting lists High pressure salesmen for the "gyp schools have already filched the savings and secured the contract signatures of thousands of ambitious young job seekers by guaranteeing jobs with the big airplane plants and other defense production industries, and by representing that their schools have "deals" with such companies to supply them with trained employees, according to a report by the Northwestern National Life Insurance company. The situation has become so bad that major aircraft companies have been flooded with inquiries and complaints regarding "guaranteed placements promised by such salesmen; several California companies have issued warning bulletins to the effect that they had authorized no such agreements, understandings. or guarantees. Chambers of Commerce in various defense industry centers are issuing warnings on the subject The report emphasizes that the two principal faults of the "racket" trade school are to oversell the opportunity in the first place and to undertrain in the second place. The report suggests simple tests which any youth can apply to the school he is considering, before he pays any money down or signs an application blank. He should demand a list of recent graduates of the school. He should get in touch with several such graduates, either by personal contact or by letter, and ask them the following three simple questions: 1. Was the course satisfactory? 2. Did it help you to secure a job" 3 Has it helped you win advancement in your job, or if you have been employed only a short time, do you feel that it is likely to help you win advancement? In the case of a newly established school the prospective student should enlist the help of some older friend, to investigate the financial responsibility of the sponsors, the completeness of the equipment, and the previous connections of the instructors. Public school authorities can usually give helpful information about a local private school, and the report en phasizes that a leg.timate school will welcome mveshgation. The report also warns that a certain proportion of young men, due to individual tastes, mental character. s: cs. and personally type, could not be fitted to hold a job m a mechanical or technical trade Therefore. the legit. mate trade schools m-armbly examine the qualifications of ttie applicant and refuse to accept those who they feci cannot be succes.sMUy trained The "gvp" school exercises no such selection, but accepts ary applicant who can ra pe e amount of Ure down pay- men: v AxCAP-RM- KKY-GO-K- Newspaper Union.!

ALASKANS VIEW RUSSIA, JAPAN, WITHOUT FEAR John BRONZED, weather-beate- n Friedland is an old Alaskan sourn who dough, typical of the he-me- have for many years braved the rigors of the far northland. John Friedland knows Alaska from the far western tip of the Aleutian islands to the farthest north Point Barrow. For the first time in 35 years, old John recently made a trip to the States and I had an opportunity of a visit with him. He told me that people of Alaska the hardy prospectors, miners, trappers and pioneer farmers have no fear of aggression on the part of Russia, and they have only contempt for Japan, looking upon it as a nation of poachers. He said the building of government air fields was welcomed, not as a defense measure, but as a means of improving air transportation in the territory. Without armed protection, Friedland said he thought these new air fields would prove quite as convenient a landing place for other planes, if any, as for the American planes. But John Friedland had his full measure of Alaskan optimism and was fearful of nothing, unless it might be a reduction m the price of gold, which, if it came, would prove disastrous to Alaskan mining. He came to the States, traveled as far east as Chicago for a visit with old friends, stayed three days and then departed by plane for Candle Creek, Alaska, on the Arctic coast, so he might have his big dredges ready for operation with the first glimpse of the summer sun. WHO PAYS? NONE OTHER THAN WE, THE PEOPLE CONGRESS WILL MAKE an effort to find more revenue for the federal government by enacting new tax laws. The tax on America today as levied by municipal, county, state and federal governments takes 30 cents out of each dollar earned by the American people. And we all pay our proportion, whether or not we receive a tax bilL If you rent a house, you pay the landlords taxes. They are included in your rent bilL If you buy a suit, about 25 per cent of the price is taxes. The same is true of any food you buy, or any other article of merchandise purchased. If you smoke cigarettes, you pay a federal tax of six cents on each package. The government collects from the manufacturer and the merchant. They add the taxes to the price of what they sell, and pass it on to each one of us who buys their products. In the end, it is not the rich who carry the burden of taxes. It is the average Amencan the men and women who work for wages, who maintain homes and who support families. Corporations are supposedly heavily taxed, but if they could not, or did not, pass the taxes along as a part of the price of their product, they would soon be broke and millions would be without jobs. We average Americans pay the cost of government through the things we buy, and the politicians cannot fool us by sending our tax bills to us. WILL THEY WAIT?
