Justice Holmes has retained that spirit even as he grows older in years’ The majority of us, while progressive and liberal in early life, become more or less conseiwative as we grow older. We have dif ficulty in keeping step with the times. However, Justice Holmes ha.s more than kept his mind in tune with the march of progress. He has proved himself a liberal in a day when conservative opinion is radical compared with what was considered liberal ism in the da\ s of his young manhood. The influence of Justice Holmes upon the Supreme court has been wholesome. Zangara To Die Sion, refused the request of the Taylorsville attorney.

Baltimore, 'March 10.—A 40 per cent increase in construction contracts in the south last month as compared with January and a 55 per cent gain over Februarj' of last year were reported today by the Manufacturers Record. The Record also said the total value of contracts since the first of the year was $46,862,000 as compared - with $35,891,000 tor the first two months of 1932, rep resenting a gain of 3 per cent. Contracts let last month for industrial plants generally, filling stations, garages, bus and truck terminals, levees, sewers and waterworks amounted to $9,019,- 000.

Sheffield, of the Stale eollege ex- ten.sion service, who said tlnit last year when free seeLs were supplietl the needy they eooketl the seed for dinner instead of planting for future dinners. This is termed a noble idea by the Greensboro publication which cites it as worthy of “that ingenious mind who con ceived the prohibition bureau’s order that industrial alcohol be similarly treated with a subsequent toll.of death and suf- gradu- ate ill a hundred .settled in a community of less CHEVROLET THE FULL-SIZE WORLD’S LOWEST-PRICED SIX-CYLINDER ENCLOSED CARS A NEW AND ADDITIONAL LINE Of CHEVROLET SIXES I than 1.000 inhabitant.s. j Right now there are scores of communities, : hundreds of square miles in area, and wdth popu- I latioiis that run into thousands, which do not I have a single resident physician, and year by i year the number increases. I One reason for the situation is the heavy cost j of medical education. Today medicine has be come a profession for rich men's sons. That cuts j the farmer off at both ends. He can't afford to give his own son a medical education; and as for rich men’s sons, none of them are tempted by the I hardships and difficulties of rural practice. The ’ average cost of medical education at present is $10,000, and the time required is nine years. “The country doctor’s lot is not a tempting one.” Editor Cathcart ad'mits. “The grocer and the butcher and the coal dealer can cancel a cus tomer’s credit if they don’t get their money, but the doctor is helpless. When a call comes he must go. He may know that the patient will never pay him. No matter! winter and summer, day ot fering which has never been compiled in 1 night, if he is able to move, he must never fall ita entirety.” The Greensboro News goes on to say that “if a single death or, even illness, re sults from poisoned government seed, the Daily News hopes that somebody will face a jury composed of relief gardeners.” Whether one agrees with the editorial or is in sympathy with the govemment’s- decree,- if the seed are poisoned, as it ap pears they are, here is a public warning which should not go unnoticed. We cer tainly do not wish to cause illness or death In our efforts to aid the needy. to answer a summons. He may be old and worn out and half sick! . . . But whatever the circum- htsnees, he must never shirk or seek an excuse.” Mr. Cathcart suspects that country people might do a good deal themselves to make the country doctor’s life more attractive. “For one thing, they should take a more sympathetic atti tude toward their doctor’s money problems. Aft er, all, a doctor has got to get along, just like anybody else. He doesn’t ask his debtors to give him first consideration. All he .'wants ■ -is fair play.
