It trucking firms the right to operate over the main lake shore highway—United States 20—which connects the middle west with the east, on the ground that that high- way holds all the traffic it can handle already. It might be a good thing if other of- ficial bodies would copy this ruling After all, the highways were paved primarily for the pleasure car motor- ist. Paying passengers and freight were transported about the country very well before motor bus and truck were invented, and the railroads are far from over-burdened with business. When traffic on any highway gets too heavy for comfort, it is time to cut down the number of commercial ve- hicles that use it. motorists all denied two GOING TO THE DOGS Now, Mr. Preacher before you com- mence to criticize us, before you say we are indulging in profanity in owr caption, you just listen to the story because it happens to be true and you have our permission to use it as a text for one of your good sermons. The young man told us this himself as a something that happened to his father. He said for no reason he could ever figure out, his father went out one morning and hitched himself up with a steer, with idea of do- ing a little cultivati The young man was in the barnyard at the end of a lane and pretty soon he heard his father yell, “Stop us, Eddie Stop us, Eddie” The steer was running away with father and, of course, said the son, there was no chance of stopping them. The boy said as they passed him his father turned his head and said, “Never mind, Eddie, let us go to the dogs.” There are altogether too many busi- ness men in this country now who hitched themselves up with fear, alto- gether too many who say “Nothing like this has happened before” and “The world is simply going to the bow- wows.” “Well; all right If anybody insists upon killing his business and ruining himself financially and physically, he may go to it. Nobody can stop him. But, praises be to Allah —there are left a host of business men who still have faith in the Almighty, them- selves and their Uncle Sam. Those men, through courage and by hard work, are proving that the laws of compensation and reaction are as provable today as they have been through all of the previous depres- sions through which we have passed and come out on top. If “thought-waves” are scientific, and they are, please bear in mind that we are pulling for your success. FEEDING FIVE HOUNDS Here is a purported confession of a West Tennessee man that is entirely too good not to pass along: There seems to be so much talk about our so-called prosperity I be- lieve ’tis my duty to write my views on same and help to analize the situa- tion as far as possible sos we can make up our minds that we had auto change our ways of living and so forth. I have taken my own case for in- stance. I see my mistakes and many others have acted likewise. I boughta car instead of a farm and it is worn out, but the farm I figured on is still 0. K. I invested in a radio instead of a cow and the radio gives static in- stead of milk. I am feeding five hounds which ans- wer to the names of Red, Red Wing, Slobber, Jake and Bayrum—instead of five pigs. I had our piano tuned in- stead of the well cleaned out. I spent all my cash in 1928 and used my credit in 1929 and traded up my future op installments in 1930, so hard tht me in bad shape last fall.

I am on a cash basis now, but ain’t got no cash. I am tied to the end of my rope and the man I am working for is busted on account of nobody would pay him and his cotton won't sell ’cause nobody won't buy no cot- ton clothes, all the gals wear silk stockings and silk underclothes right here in our cotton patches. I had $4.00 saved up for a rainy day, but it turned dry and I spent the $4.00 for two in- ner tubes. I tried hard to make both ends meet with a turnip patch, but when I got turnips ready to sell, everybody was selling turnips for nothing and the market was glutted. I am worried plum to the bone and my wife's kin- folks are coming over next Tuesday to spend two weeks.

FARM MORTGAGE DEBT IN $122,744,578 | Despite an increase in Pennsylvania | farm mortgage debt of $35,000,000 be- | tween 1925 and 1930, the ratio of this debt to the value of mortgaged prop- erty has dropped from 411 to 395 per cent. says the bureau of statistics, Pennsylvania Department of Agricul- ture, in a review of Federal census figures just released. The mortgaged debt was $122,744,578 in 1930 and the value of the mortgaged property, A census report on specified farm $310,942,821. | expenditures shews that Pennsylvania farmers paid $56,458,332 for hay, grain and mill feed purchased during 1929; | $12,113,421 for fertilizer and $31,713,599 | for farm labor. In all three cases, in-| creases are shown when compared with 1924, Census estimates on fruit indicate a downward trend in number of apple | and peach trees but an increase in number of grape vines during the | past ten years. The number of grape! vines of all ages is estimated for 1929 | at 8,899,361—almost twice as many as | were shown by the census 30 years | ago. In farm improvements, the recent | census shows astonishing changes since | 1920.

ISH cannot live in water that does not contain air. Neither can man live in air that is entirely free from water. In fact, all animal life requires for existence a proper mixture of both air and water, declares the Holland Institute of Thermology, of Holland, Mich., whose research engineers have found that even slight changes in the composition of life environments are often detrimental to healthful exist- ence, The most desirable mixture of these elements for fish life is 4 per cent air and 96 per cent water, When the volume of air is less than 4 per cent, fish are likely to suffocate. In the home, every pound of air heated to a temperature of 70 degrees should contain 110% grains of water to be most comfortable and healthful, This means a proportion of 98.4 per cent air and 1.6 per cent water, Yet in many homes during the winter sea- son the amount of air moisture drops to one-third and even less of this amount. Such air is the result of old style methods of heating which pro- vide no means for injecting water vapor into the air to maintain a health- ful and comfortable humidity, Com- mon colds, influenza, and other res- piratory infections are generally the result of insufficient moisture in home air, The cold air of winter has only a fraction of the capacity of summer air for moisture, The great outdoors is the only source of our indoor air sup- ply, and when winter air is heated to temperatures of TO degrees or more, its moisture capacity is corresponding- ly increased. Hence, there is a short- age of water vapor in the air. The mest satisfactory means of overcoming this moisture deficiency is by means of heating systems of the vapor air type. fiers which evaporate and automat- ically inject into the home air the wa- ter vapor from 3 to 25 gallons of water daily, as required. In modest homes of 5 or 6 rooms, from 6 to 8 gallons of water should be evaporated daily to adequately humidify the home air. The moisture thus supplied is suf- ficient to conserve and protect health, Furthermore, moderate temperatures of 68 to 72 degrees will be found to be far more comfortable than the high temperatures and super-dry air that characterize homes heated with old style heating systems, Save Plant Material Leaf mold or other rich soil should be placed in a! box and stored in the cellar before the | ground freezes.
