If it is impartiality you aTe after, you are on the wrong track. FOR LOWELL THOMAS GOLDEN VOICE IS THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS. If you doubt it, you are referred to a pamphlet entitled Whos Who Behind Industry's Information Program published by N. A. M.s National Industrial Information Committee of which Ernest T. Weir is chairman. In this pamphlet the Association does not merely state that it employes Lowell Thomass services, it emphasizes the fact as proof of how excellent is its brand of propaganda. To be sure, the pamphlet was not intended for your eyes, nor is it one of the pamphlets which N. A. M. distributes by the million to children and unsuspecting adults through the schools and churches. This one is sent only to a select list of employers and is designed to sell them the propaganda service. The charge is based upon capitalization and runs into thousands of dollars each year.

SALT LAKE COUNTY EXPECTED TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC Every indication on the eve of Tuesdays general election points to a Democratic land-slid- e victory in Salt Lake county. Judging from the heavy registration last Tuesday and from the past weeks activity of the voters it would not be surprising to see an exceptionally election vote. heavy off-yeNew registrations indicate that Democrats outnumber the Republicans five to one. Canvassers reports are very promising to the New Dealers. Checking books show four Democrats to one Republican. No wonder the Democratic leaders expect every candidate elected on the Democratic ticket. There will be fewer scratched ballots than the reactionaries desire. A few of those who have been on a campaign for carrying scratch ballots are apt to be sadly disappointed next Tuesday. For State Senate seats Stanley N. Child, Gordon Weggeland and Grant Macfarlane may be among the leaders as vote getters. Predictions are that they will win by over 20,000 maporities, and that there Everything does . not stop for tea in the United States, but oc- casionally American consumers do linger over a cup of tea after dinner or before going to bed. To be suited to a T where tea drinking is concerned, the Consumers Guide recommends first of all to consumers that they make up their minds about the kind of tea they want. Consumers who like pungent tea should buy green tea. For a milder tasting beverage with a delicate aroma, consumers should buy black tea. Compromising consumers who want both should buy Oolong tea. To tell fresh tea from old tea consumers are urged to pick up a pinch of tea in their fingers and crumble it. If it is springy the tea is fresh, if it crumbles into dust the tea is old and very likely fla-vorless- . TIMELY QUOTES I see by the papers that a lotta drivers will soon be getting better cars.

ULTRA CONSERVATIVE SOURCES REPORT GAINS IN BUSINESS Business and employment gains for August and September are the more surprising, editorializes the ultra - conservative Republican Washington Post of October 11, because of the shadows cast by the European crisis. Despite the uncertainty that overhung every enterprise, economic recovery in the U. S. made rapid gains. September is believed to have been the best month since October, 1937. The increase in output is not confined to favored industries. That fact suggests that a genuine recovery movement is under way which certainly stimulates optimism. The United Press carried significant copyrighted articles on October 12 and 13 from New York and Detroit. The former announced that Business is gaining momentum at a pace which indicates that national income for the final six months of this year will be about five billion dollars more than the first half. That would be the largest second half expansion since The figures are not from 1928. the government but from The Alexander Hamilton Institute.

By the first of August more than a million persons had gone back to work and prospects are for a continued rise. There is a strong possibility, experts say, that unemployment by the close of this year may be cut to the 9,291,000 level in December, which prevailed 1935. From Detroit the U.

Thus livestock prices are set finally by the prices consumers pay for meat. But the consumers want to know what quality of meat they get for their money. They are willing to pay higher prices for quality meat, and insist they should get low quality meat at a lower price. By grading livestock and meat, it is possible for farmers to get more nearly the value of their products as determined by their eventual selling price. Grades, therefore, facilitate se lection, pricing, and trading in meats and livestock. Since they also enable the pro ducers of good quality products to obtain higher prices, they encourage the development of better strains of livestock. Page (Paid Political Adv.) ... . . |
