This means that it is highly important to consider water- proofing and hardsurfacing the secondary roads.

A FAIR TARIFF The best rebuttal of the state- ment that our tariff excludes for- eign producers from the American market are the statistics showing imports. Every year an increasing amount of foreign goods passes through the American customs, to be sold all ov- er the nation in competition with domestic articles. This is as it should be. iff principle has never been to ex- clude imported produce. All it does is to equalize producing costs here and abroad by leaving a duty on goods manufactured or grown in countries where living conditions, the wage scale and the social status of workers is far inferior to ours. Our tar- THE PROSPERITY CYCLE “Our people, more than any oth- er,” says Henry Ford, ‘are able to use and enjoy what they have creat- ed. And, do you know, that is the perpetual motion of prosperity. People able to use what they make will always be able to make what they need. “Prosperity is not piled-up wealth; prosperity is diffused wealth in constant use.” There is much good sense in those statements. There are times when a lot of us feel that our abil- ity to use what we make outruns our ability to make what we need. Nevertheless, our American pros- perity is undoubtedly built on our capacity for making, using and en- joying in a pleasant cycle. SUN CAN KILL AS WELL AS CURE Summer heat may be dangerous. Treat it with a lot of respect and precaution. Remember that some i ly Me —— aries Baffles Scientists The remarkable electrical phenom- enon sometimes witnessed at sea, and generally termed, St. Eimo’s fire, never has been satisfactorily explained by science, says H. J. Andrews. in the White Star Magazine. It is a luminous body which can be seen on wet nights perching on or skipping about the masts and rigging of a ship. Sometimes there are two such flames, and the ancient Roman sailors gave the name of Helena to the single light and termed the double one Castor and Pollux. Helene, in Greek, signified a torch, and Castor and Pollux were the twin sons, in classical mythology, of Jupiter and Leda. Columbus’ Chains Columbus was carried back to Spain after his third voyage and during the trip he was such a sorrowful figure and the captain of the vessel had so much respect for him that he wanted to remove the chains, but Columbus refused, saying that they were put on by orders of their majesties and they must be removed the same way. Of course, when he reached Spain and was ordered freed, his request that they be given him was granted and his grandson writes that they never left him. It was his dying request that they be buried with him, and this was done. Wails and Whales A certain club possessed one mem- ber who was notorious for grumbling. Wet or fine, warm or cold, he always found something to grumble about. One evening he was holding forth as usual about his bad luck. “I'm a Jonah and a Job rolled into one,” he complained, “only 1 don’t happen to possess the patience of Job.” “Never mind, old man,” murmured his victim, preparing to make his de- men can stand more than others but parture, “you've still got Jonah's most of us have our limit.

It has not been long since labor was regarded more or less as an inanimate commodity, subject to the law of supply and demand, and purchased much in the same way as wheat or cattle or groceries. Capital and Labor, once the cat and dog of the economic battle, now exist together with a friendli- ness and common regard. They have the same objective and they realize that it can be reached only by cooperation. The progressive employer pays good wages for good work, he is interested in improving the living conditions of his employ- es and he becomes a partner in their progress. Tyranny and poverty and misery make agitators and incendiaries. High wages and pleasant living and working eonditions make good cit- izens.

GRADE CROSSING AC. CIDENTS PREVENTABLE The one sure remedy for grade crossing and highway automobile accidents is safe driving. Accidents generally result from carelessness or incompetence, Instead of bur- barn | dening the people with compulsory newest of tax problems. insurance legislation and tax is- sues to eliminate all grade cross- public and en- force practical traffic codes. Reckless and drunken drivers should not be allowed on highways. They are a constant menace to life and property. Those who dash across grade crossings and give no heed to traffic regulations should, after warning, be deprived of licenses. The railroads of the country, in their great work to reduce acci- dents, have succeeded in every phase of the problem but grade crossing collisions. It takes an average of seven seconds for a train to pass any given spot. Yet every year thousands of people, unwilling to wait the seven seconds lose their lives. Accident reduction is mainly a matter of teaching drivers when to step on the brake instead of the accelerator. i=in Plant Late Vegetables Among the garden crops which can be planted in late July and in early August are endive, kale, kohl- rabi, lettuce, radishes, spinach and late turnips.

Now | 20 states impose levies of four cents or more, one state has a tax of six | cents, and legislators in still other states are casting longing eyes at { further increases as a means of | providing public funds with the least effort. In some states it is said that high gas taxes have actually de- prived the states of revenue. In Pennsylvania, for example, which has a four-cent tax, one third of motor owners live near state bor- ders and make a practice of driving to localities where the tax is lower. Estimates place the loss to Penn sylvania at $1,500,000 yearly. {No one objects to a fair gasoline ‘tax when all the revenue is em- "ployed for road building and main- tenance. What is objected to is a tax out of proportion to the cost |of gasoline or one which is used i for purposes other than road work. Ri — It is alleged that General Feng cancelled his war against the Chin- ‘ese Nationalist government for the THIRTEEN BILLIONS FOR CRIME Crime, according to Wade Ellis of the American Bar Association’s Crime Commission, costs the United States $13,000,000,000 a year. We have 12,000 murders annual- ly, 50 times the number recorded in Great Britain. Since 1900 our murder rate has increased 350 per cent. The causes of crime are many and foremost among them Mr. Ellis places our multiplicity of laws which, by simple mathematics, has increased the total of crimes. Ev- ery new law breeds new criminals, decreases respect for society and places new burdens on our courts of justice. It is a disheartening fact that the great majority of our citizens take crime more or less as a mat- ter of course. What is needed is an active public consciousness that will force a simplification and re- form of our laws and legal system, and oppose the tendency to pile more enactments on the already bulging statute books. Too many laws touch the good citizen and fail to discomfort the criminal. The sole test for any law is whether it protects society and punishes or reforms the underworld We must return to first principles in our war against crime. he sum of $3,100,000. Evidently the general does not believe in peace at {any old price. While digging a grave for two dead sheep, Ernest Leiphart, of WEDNESDAY, JULY 24th, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK During 1927 and 1928 fire losses in the United States showed as ap- preciable reduction, in comparison to former years, in spite of a large increase in the total value of insur- ed property. This would indicate that the gos- pel of fire prevention is at last be- ginning to bear fruit. Thru build- ing inspection, better building codes, improved fire departments, better water systems, fire preven- tion weeks and similar activities, every citizen in this country has been given a knowledge of the menace of fire and the tragic mag- nitude of fire waste. The recent fire in the Cleveland Clinic, which took 124 lives, has given us a terrible object lesson. It is now officially claimed that the fire was the result of careless- ness in storing and guarding films. Every home or building fitted for human occupation presents ‘hazards which need constant watching. The two years’ decrease in the fire loss is hopeful, but not conclu- sive of permanent improvement. The waste, both in lives and pro- perty, is still tremendous and inex- cusable. It is the duty and privil- ege of every citizen and public of- ficial to do his part in the war against fire. —— A eee.

The result is a new era in rural and small town life. The larger the producing unit, the smaller is the cost and the greater the efficiency. The expense and waste connected with the oper- ation of small plants made rural electrification impossible. Now the great power systems with wires embracing hundreds of communi- ties, employ their tremendous facil- ities provide farm and village with the same high type, economical electric service enjoyed in the great cities. Professor E. A. Stewart, a well- known agricultural engineer, esti- mates that by 1950 no more farm workers will be needed to provide food for a population of 150 mil- lions than were needed to feed 25 millions in 1850. Power on the farm will give each worker six times his former production capac- ity. The farm is on the verge of a great and economic and social rev- olution. emmy A Gp ARE Secretly all of us think that our personal wages and profits are a little below normal, while prices are way above normal. — Qe That they may have a little peace even the best dogs are compelled to snarl occasionally.
