DITORIAL Ours is a country of farmers and business men—but it is governed al- most completely, so far as the nose- count of the House and Senate in con- cerned, by small time lawyers with- out practice. No wonder we get strange results. EARTHLY POSSESSIONS The depression is going to strip many of all their earthly possessions, but it will not rob any man of his chiefest asset, his ability and his knowledge. No depression can effect this. Most of the men who have built big enterprises, if they were deprived of them by the depression would have them back in a few years. ALL HOPE THEY'RE CAUGHT That the kidnapers and layers of the Lindbergh baby may be caught and punished is the hope of thousands of people who have never seen either the child or the Lindberghs but can realize how they are suffering now. The whole thing is another illustration of the loathsome depths to which hu- mans can descend. TRADING AT HOME The best town booster is the man who trades at home. It doesn’t mat- ter how much a man praises the town, its schools, churches and streets, if he sends his money out of town. A mil- lion dollars worth of trade away from home won't help the town as much as one dollar spent with the local mer- chants. What works are under way that re- quire labor and a wage roll should be kept going. We can vacate some swivel chairs, even adding to the number of idle rich, but the men and women de- pendent on a pay envelope, should be kept on the job. IF MONEY IS PUT TO WORK MEN WILL HAVE JOBS Money needs exercise. It gets slug- gish with disuse. It is in danger of if hidden in a fire and theft even supposedly safe place, it earns noth- ing. The unfaithful trustee in the parable of the talents was condemned in harsh terms, and dismissed. He had failed to utilize his opportunities to best advantage. When idle money goes to work, idle men will go to work. When men are busy, they spend the money they earn; and each dollar turns over nine times before it finds its way back to the starting place—to turn some more. That is better than a lazy dollar, do- ing nothing and helping nobody. Idle money is the secret of the pro- longation of hard times. Release this money, and soon all will be well again. What better project than to induce money to come from its hiding place? What better service can the possessor of that money do than to forget his fears and by his own action demon- strate general prosperity? ANOTHER TAX IN POSTAGE The financial committee has ap- proved the three cent first-class post- age rate, thereby inflicting another af- ter-war hardship upon the American people, if Congress decides to approve the measure. Both the Senate and House committees have approved the new rate, By the additional one cent it is estimated that $134,000,000 of in- creased revenue will be provided all coming out of the pockets of the American people, and a special hard- ship at this time upon industry, which of necessity must circularize the country if it is to stay in business. Here are some important figures. Last year members of Congress mailed free of charge under their franking privilege 33,413,032 pieces of mail, and it cost the post office department $727,- THE MOUNT Ju.

The city bred man or woman would weary long before they got started because the man on the land has many things to contend with and must know something about it. But as Mr. Swain says those who have some idea of how to do it, would be able to keep themselves and would cut down the number of jobseekers. In some quarters there is opposition to this back to the land idea because the land owners feel that it will cut down the number of buyers. is only partly so because with so many out of work in the cities there is little or no purchasing power, and that is one reason why farm produce is so low. The need of the hour is not aid, except temporarily, to the unemployed, but the need of of the hour is a revival of the pioneer spirit; the revival of the spirit which will make people want to do something for themselves and do it. It is true that economic conditions have dragged along until a lot of people who would pioneer, cannot get started and the wheels of finance should be suggests and as Mr. Julian, the Cincinnati philanthropist, proposes, but, with centuries of economic distress behind us and common sense before us, there is only one sure way out of the present economic distress—bankers with vision, with enough Federal or State aid and direction to give the multitudes a chance and if those multitudes will not take the chance and refuse to pioneer, then theirs as their own economic funeral. unggested which inevitably will cure the ills The redistribution of popu- Certainly there is no profit But that Forests Attract Summer Tourists (From page 1) to these recreational areas has brought greatly increased revenue to stores, hotels, garages, and res- taurants in the communities where S’ate forest recreational areas are located. In a statement issued today Sec- retary Lewis E. Staley said: “Tour- ist trade is an industry rapidly as- suming large proportions in Penn- sylvania. Recreational areas with- in the one and one-half million ac- res of State forests have played an important role in bringing improv- ed business to the rural sections of the State. There are 30,000,000 people living in the eastern United States, and greater tourist trade in Pennsylvania will result in greater prosperity for Pennsylvanians. “The scenic attractions of Penne sylvania’s mountains, forests, and streams are gaining wider popular- ity each year as sources of outdoor recreation. The two million visitors to the State forest recreational areas this year are expected to bring an estimated revenue of from four to five million dollars to local business catering to tourist travel.” A great increase has been notic- ed by forestry officials in the num- ber of non-resident visitors to State forest recreational areas located along main highway routes. Secre- tary Staley pointed out that, as an example, 200,000 people visited the Cook Forest Park in Jefferson, Clar ion, and Forest counties last year, of whom more than 25 per cent. were visitors from outside the State are Philipsburg—John Verost auto laun- dry opened on Pine Street near Hartle building.

In all last year the government handled 789,576, 165 pieces of mail free and paid for this in transportation and other charges $11,575,837 and this all in one year. If the government wants to curtail, here is an opportunity. Remember that all of this mail matter had to be printed, also at the expense of the government. If the post office depart- ment were to charge for every piece of mail that went out of Washington the postal department would be on a prosperous basis and a great deal of unnecessary mail matter would be eliminated and costs proportionately decreased. Not a single piece of free matter should be mailed out of Washington and the purchasing department should hold each department accountable for its postage expenditures, that is the way to eliminate waste and a sure way for reducing the cost of govern- ment operation. ply Co., Fourth Street, improved.

BE WANTS MORE STATE GROWN WHEAT USED The practical use of flour milled from Pennsylvania winter wheat will be shown bakers in the State-owned institutions operating bakeries during the coming week. In accordance with Governor Pinchot’s suggestion that the flour used in these institutions be a blend including at least 50 per cent. flour milled from Pennsylvania winter wheat, the institutions will change their baking procedure where neces- sary in order to obtain the best results. R. Bruce Dunlap, of the Department of Welfare, supervisor of agriculture in the State institutions, has arranged a series of baking demonstrations, be- ginning with a general gathering at Rockview.

Protecting farms, gardens, eries, apiaries, greenhouses, from constantly threatening insects and diseases, both foreign and do- mestic, through the bureau of plant industry, is costing a very small fraction of a cent for each dollar value of the products. Self-Supporting The expenses of the bureau of markets in market reporting, ‘ruits and vegetables inspection, poultry, certification and in the encourage- ment of direct and co-operative marketing, amount to less than one cent for each ten dollars worth of crops marketed.

Farm livestock, including poultry, in Pennsylvania represents a value of approximately $150,000,000 and the cash income from these ani- mals aggregated $180,000,000 dur- ing 1930. The work of the bureau of animal industry in protecting this | industry is costing about one-third of one per cent of the total annua’ income from the industry. Deduct- ing revenue coming from the en- forcement of laws, the annual cost of the bureau's work averages ap- proximately $1.00 per farmer, and it is important to note that much of the revenue comes from sources other than agriculture. The bureau of statistics and in- | formation has greatly expanded its service with only a slight increase in its pre-war State budget. A co- operative agreement with the Fed- eral government which eliminates duplication in effort, has made this possible. “If one cares to compare the pre- | sent expenditures of the department | | with those of a generation ago, hg must also compare his present risks from plant pests, transmissible an- imal diseases, uncontrolled dogs and unregulated middlemen, with corres- ponding risks existing twenty to | thirty years ago,” Secretary Mec- | Sparran said. “San Jose scale, the | foot and mouth disease, and the un- | regulated oleo trust of days gone! by have caused losses greater than the expenses of the department for a whole generation.” eee.
