Read the messages of thesi advertisers foi they carry many uselul suggestions The publishers liavi delved deep into the old records and with the help of a nuinbet of old er citizens they have gathered much old data which they hope will prove of interest and pos sibly of some value to the readers of this paper \i>l S<?

Ail of which causes one to wondei if the candidate Maxwell is the same fellow who is pinching pennies collected from a general sales tax It is good that Mr. Maxwell" advanced his stand on salaries and highway modernization. But it would sound better to the, people if he would talk about the possibility of lifting the sales tax passed in an "emergency" back 111 the old Hoover days The t oreranlers The forecasters are still with us They are telling us what to expect during the next five months, what to expect next spring These boys study a great deal, no doubt* and observe the world front of affairs, but when one remembers that they, for the most part, are the same guys who told the country that everything was fine back in 1929, he can't seem to get all heated up about their predictions for the next five months and for next spring One of the main troubles in this country is found in our desire to live in the future and ig nore life as it oo/nes to us day by day. It would possibly be so much better if we were to do the best we could today and let tomorrow take care of*itself upon the foundation built today? A person, a people, or a nation that builds today upon recognized principles, principles that are fair and just, need not worry about to morrow. Those who ignore those principles and set out to rob today can well expect to be rob bed in the future. If we build for war today we can expect war tomorrow. But leave it up to the forecasters to tell you what's coming While they might offer some good guesses, one will find in the end that their guesses were biased, that they were paid to predict this and predict that that the rich might be made richer end the poor made poorer. (,rt'4'n I'nnliirfH At Ilium Mindful of the rights of everyone, this pu per does not offer to dictate to the tobacco far mers and tell them where to sell their tobacco, t'U1 in a spirit of friendliness and the best of intentions it takes the liberty to offei a few suggestions, hopeful lhrv will prove of some value to .'ionic one Tie piactif'f of hauling Inline,,, (,l| oyer the - ,, u,.to?I,,i?, enrt?the?farnu is.?amu. whole far rnori thaii Ihev have gamed The pastures aii unbiased survey and close, observations will prove fiil times out of 100, art just as green at your home -market as they are on the market fid 7a or 100 miles removed.

Consider all the facts, then sell your tobac co where you think it will prove more profit ahlc The records show that more farmers are turning to the Williainston "market each suc ceeding year, that the home farmers are inter cstcd in its continued growth Full in line with those farmers, for there's much to be gained in the long run.

Although much has been done by social agen cies to get at the roots ol crime by working wtlh young people, it is not necessary lo look beyond the recent execution, at the Massachusetts State Prison, of two boys, one nineteen, the oth i r twenty, to leali/e that much remains to be accomplished In Cleveland. Ohio, the juvenile delinquency rate has been cut ti2 per cent through police de p.irtmrn! it ti: rs In .vein the ior.lider.ee of slum area gang leaders Leaders of juvenile gangs at tended a dinner given for them by the police. Asked why they thought their districts had a delinquency rate three times as high as the rest of the city, the boys replied that they needed swimming pools, baseball diamonds .tennis courts and gymnasiums; a little spending mon ey and some adventure. As a result, jobs were obtained for 200 boys and a club was formed which secured addition al night-school. and recreational facilities and encouraged saving habits Boy Scout troops were sponsored Juvenile crime decreased and five police stations in so-called delinquency areas were closed and turned over to boys or ganizations. Similar programs have brought equally en couraging results 111 other cities. Boston has its Junior Police and a summer camp where un derprivileged youths go for a vacation The challenge to society presented by the high ju venile delinquency rate can best be answered bv the furtherance of such efforts. I'anulox Philadelphia Record. Japan is increasing her domination over Chi na in order to "make room for a crowded pop ulation." But because of her adventure in China. Ja pan is so short of manpower that, according to a report by Sir Victor Sassoon, she is working her coal miners 011 two shifts of 12 hours each. She does not have enough men to produce the work needed to find room for her surplus ' of men.
