Others achieve the same end by rais ing a family. :o: :- The reason physical exercise is not more popular is probably because it don't cost anything. :o: Ziegfleld says well-rounded lines are to be stylish again. Evidently a survival of the fattest. :o: Bills now pending in state legis latures would end every pernicious activities of man except law-making. :o: Another good memory test is to nit down and recall the things you were worried about at this time last year. :o: The man of the future will have fewer teeth, says Dr. Alex Hrdlicka. And probably won't walk the floor so j much at night. In nine months 150.000 persons visited the health spas of Czecho-! Elovakia, which stands as a record for health resorts. :o: Marian Talley won't allow pigs on her farm. She doesn't like them. We don't think a pig would respond to a soprano's who-o-o-ee, anyway. :o: President Hoover has appointed a new manager for his California ; ranch and he didn't send his name to the Senate for confirmation either. :o: No one in New York has claimed ae yet to be the slayer of gambler Arnold Rothstein. There are so many other ways now of getting publicity. :o: The new 16-cylinder motor car soon to appear is called a pleasure car. Who remembers the day when the rule was the more cylinders the more grief? :o: "To Teach Women to Spend," says a news headline. And will some gen tleman rise, at the request of Eddi Lix, and point out what is wrong with this picture? : :o: Ten thousand American tourists in England face vaccination before they enter France. But that will be barely scratching the surface of the 1929 tourist rush. :o: A new game has been invented, a combination of golf and archery. A combination of golf and the home- run feature of baseball would get the j unanimous support of golf widows. The lew international Truck will OUT-PULL, OUT-CLIMB and OUT-PERFORM all Others o Similar Rating C We have a new truck here at our place that is entirely different from any other light truck on the market it has SIX speeds forward and two reverse. And the difference shows up mighty plain when you run up against steep grades, plowed ground, deep sand, soft mead ews, ditches, snow, etc The SIX-SPEED SPECIAL is ahead of the others, because it is built to go ahead on just the kind of work that folks around here have to do. JIt is an ideal truck for the farm, and it fills the bill with merchants, too. Anybody who has to haul loads over good roads and bad will like the SIX-SPEED SPECIAL. J We are demonstrating it every day, so don't feel backward about asking us to show you what this truck will do. It backs up every thing we say about it and its low price will surprise you.

After all the tumult and shouting, wouldn't it be a rather sour jokeiactlon' on Mrs. Gann if Charlie decided to get married? :o: Every girl baby has an expecta- tion of life four years longer than that of a boy baby.

There is something interesting, somehow, in the news that the Brit ish government has at last abolished the tax on tea. ' Not that that will make any differ ence to tea drinkers on this side of the Atlantic. But the tax is blood brother to another tax on tea, which caused a ship load of that commodity to be tossed into Boston harbor, up wards of a century and a half ago; and surely we can be pardoned for feeling a sort of proprietary interest in it. ( Perhaps this development is proof. i after all. that the early colonists were a trifle hasty. Pitching the tea overboard caused had feeling and led to a war, that dragged on for some seven years, with much bloodshed , and expense. If our revolutionary forebears had only waited, they w-ould have gotten rid of the tax by ! peaceable means, i However, thev wouldn't wait. The tax on tea, by itself, wasn't espec ially heavy; but the things that it stood for were, and so the tea went into Boston harbor, beacon fires burned on various headlands, farmers and clerks took to drilling in vacant lots and city squares, and a new na tion presently found itself in exist ence. When you stop to think about it, the things that will move men to and serve as rallying points for disorganized grievances, resent 'ments and ideals are rather strange. There have been plenty of scholar- ly writers recently to point out that the American colonists weren't really so very badly treated by the British jin the days just preceding '76. This ! book and that book will tell vou that ,the tax on tea, the stamp act, and the other items in the colonists bill of complaint weren't so awfullv irk some, after all. Sensihle people, they l'4mply, would hardly have gone to These things, however, did not cause the revolution. Thev simDlv sprvpf1 CVT1,ho1a ,hrrav, ih inarticulate aspirations of the dwell ers in the American wilderness could find a voice. That is the way things always hap pen. Whenever some dramatic event ; takes place in the midst of high emo- t'tions and smouldering gricvanc-os - uu ua" ,uuti oul Ior an Psion. Tne storming of the Bastille, in 1789, was an unimportant affair i ne oici prison only Held seven or ! eight prisoners It had really out- i lived its usefulness. Yet it nerved 20.000.000 Frenchmen for the great .strubble of the revolution and work- ed a change in Europe that is not a crank, who deserved the hanging he got. Yet the Civil War might well have ended differently if his dramatic exploit and death had not been before the eyes of the people of the North. So we're entitled to take an inter est in the final end of the tax on British tea. If tea had never been taxed, the history of the last 150 years might have ben considerably different. :o: ME. HOOVER'S BLIirDNESS It was a moving and a courageous speech which the President made at ' the Associated Press luncheon upon obedience to and enforcement of lav,. It was listened to by the newspaper men from all over the country with profound respect and, if we mistake not, with a profound inward dis agreemen in their breasts. That this should be so is one more proof of the need as well as the truth of the President's grave warn ing. That it is so is one more proof of the tremendous harm now being done to America's conscience by pro ihibition. Without prohibition how could the whole country fail to fall .instantly into step behind the Presi dent in wiping from our life condi tions as disgraceful as these: More than 9000 human be ings are lawlessly killed in the United States each year. Little more than half as many arrests follow. Less than one-sixth of these slayers are convicted, and but a scandalously small per centage are adequately punish ed. Twenty times as many peo ple in proportion to population are lawlessly killed in the Unit ed States as in Great Britain. In many of our great cities mur der can apparently be committed with impunity. At least fifty times as many robberies in pro portion to population are com mitted in the United States as in the United Kingdom, and three times as many burglaries. Every citizen must want to see this disgrace wiped out. But most intelligent observers know that it cannot be wiped out until its inspir ing cause, prohibition, is itself wiped out. The President is blind to this lunuamemai laci. i nererore, nis ; unto set my hand and the seal of whole speech took on a quality of j said Court, this 1st day of.

From th New York Evening Post. :o: ENDING A CRUEL CUSTOM The state of New York, now has a law which prohibits the clipping o dogs ears unless it can be shown that such a measure is necessary for the dog's health. It is a good law, and more states ought to copy it. There is no real excuse for clip ping dogs' ears. No real dog lover would dream of doing it. The doj owner who wants it done, in ninety nine cases out of a hundred, is the man or woman who does't keep dog because of any fondness for pets but simply wants an animal that looks snappy and up-to-date to at tract attention to its owner. Clipping ears is a barbarous cus torn. The New York legislature is to be commended for putting an end to it. :o:- BANK MERGERS Banks merge so frequently nowa days tnat one wonders if the em ployes know for whom they are work ing. When a bank opens in the morn ing there is no certainty that it will bear the same name when it closes in the afternoon. In fact, it looks like we are on the verge of a perfect mania of merging and the day may come when the big banks count the day as lost when they do not swallow at least one com peting institution. :o: Be kind to your neighbors.
