Fritz, Grain Exchange supervisor of the U. S. Government. Mr. Fritz points out that the longest haul from field to elevator is eight miles. That round trip Was a day’s journey for a loaded horse-drawn team, carrying from 50 to #00 bushels over the old dirt roads. Now motor trucks make it over con- erete highways m two to three hours, carrying 85 to 150 bushels at a load and without having to wait for the 10ad to dry out. Farming, ‘at feast in the staple crops, is becoming more and more a business and less a ‘mode of living, as President Hoover once put it. Henry Ford maintains that all of the farming operations necessary for the produc- tion of any of the great staple crops can be done in sixty days working time each year, with proper mechanical equipment and transportation facilities. On his own 5,800-acre farm in Michigan he has pretty well demonstrated the truth of that. With the extension of electric service into smaller and smaller com- munities, manufacturing industries are spreading over the country, so that the time may come when nobody who wants to work in industry will have more than a dozen miles to travel between farm and factory. When that single CYops adapted to their local- town a good part of the year. Co- attend to the shipping and selling, American farmer already the farther removed from the European a operative ceting Rag A : perhaps also the hravesting of crops. most independent of men, will be s essly tied to the soil. LAWS THAT ARE NOT LAWS organizations will { 1 1 The administration of criminal justice in America is a disgrace to civili- | zation. The man who said that is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, the Hon. William Howard Taft, once President of the United States. We have too many laws which are not laws. A citizen can hardly go about his daily business without violating some law of which he never heard | and which nobody obeys. In Connecticut it is illegal to travel on the road or railroad on Sunday. In New York it is, or was until very recently, illegal to operate a motor-propelled vehicle on a highway unless a man on horseback carrying a red flag or lantern rode -a quarter of a mile ahead of it. Congress and State Legislatures try to “make’ laws. No law is a good law unless the people whom it affecis agree that it is a good law. In the TH eard Around The Corner PEPPIN’ UP We noticed the last few weeks that our local scribe of the Sunday Inde- pendent who happens to be a promi- nent official of our town, is putting some pep in his writings in our local Dallas column. Nothing sells a paper more than good live news and sometimes a writer can spoil it by injecting some per- sonal feelings. However, our local scribe threw out some darts about an- other newspaper starting in town be- cause 9, “local clique” seemed to have control, or at least the good graces of a certain newspaper. We ' at first thought he meant the Post, but the Independent writer denies that he had us in mind. We could not see how this was directed at the Post as it has always maintained open columns to its readers and we still maintain our contributors’ column. SPICY NEWS The writer of this column while not controlled by the Post, endeavors to go along with the policies of the paper for the privilege of writing this column and sometimes has some good interesting news for our readers. We do not intend to ride anybody, but if we have a good story on any person, clique or official, we will write it. We have had some in mind and as soon as we have | will spill it. | | definite information we Some people might not like it, but news is news.

Be- cause a law 1s old is no proof that it is good. Times change but the law lags behind. Lawyers and judges live in the past. ‘Lawyers dominate our legislative bodies and try to make new laws, intended to fit present conditions, com- ply with principles and practices long outdated. One result of this is that law and justice often mean two different things. Poor men and honest men | hesitate to go to law; they fear legal technicalities which have no relation to justice. All law ought to be based on common sense and so plain and simple that any man with an average sense of fair play could tell without asking a lawyer whether he was’ violating the law or not, Then everybody else would know it ard-intelligent public opinion alone would keep us all on the right side of the law or punish us promptly if we overstepped the line. —Huntsville- | —Trucksville- [tr s, Gorge Metz and Mrs. Charles Paliner sttended the Eastern Stat irzanquet held at Colonial Tea Monday ¢vening.
