NO PLACE FOR TRUCKS
Members of the Ohio Public Utilities
commission recently took an action
which should win it the gratitude of
over the country. 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.

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.

two weeks instead of being in my

bought from an agent instead of pay-

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

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,

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. The number of automobiles on |
farms increased from 76,491 to 152,222; |
the number of motor trucks, from |
9372 to 47,062; and the number of |
tractors from 5,697 to 33,513. Farm |

WILL DEMONSTRATE
USE OF FARM POWER
The West Sunbury Vocational
School, Butler county, is planning to
arrange an extensive exhibit and series
of demonstrations on rural electrifica-
tion, according to reports received at
the Department of Public Instruction.
This vocational school, co-operating
with the Joint Committee on Rural
Electrification, with headquarters in
Harrisburg, and the West Penn Power
Company will erect a large tent at the
school in which they will demonstrate
during an afternoon. At the same
time the women of the community will
be entertained in the auditorium by
demonstrations of ways in which elec-
tricity is simplifying household work
A special program has been arranged
for the evening. Plans also have been
made whereby the local power com-
pany will arrange an evening demon-
stration of correct and incorrect home
illumination.

MAN LIVES IN AIR
AS FISHIN WATER
Holland Institute of Ther-

Diseases to Dry, Dusty
Stagnant Air in Homes.
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,
