One can go from coast to coast in a single day in the air. He can telephone from a ship at sea to any one of the 18,000,000 telephone* in the United States. He can listen on his radio to speakers thousands of miles away. In a short time he'll be: able to see them, too. Our homes are heated by scientific and' health ful methods. We have our own cooling systems. Oil and gas and electricity have taken the place of coal. We have the news of the world on our doorsteps, morning and evening, thanks to the stride of modern newspapering. Our lives are full of events. We go places and see things. Our horizons have broadened. Back-breaking drudgery has been eliminated in every avenue of activity. Household appliances, electrically operated, have come to lessen the work of the housewife. We have more time for play, and the golf links la an adjunct of every vil lage and hamlet as well aa the larg er cities. We have improved our highways and have made our cities sanitary and attractive. But, why go ont Truth Is th4*so-called "good old days" are only a figment of the imagination. The days we are liv ing now are the best the world has ever seen up to now. And "we hain't seen nothing yet." ? Newg Telegraph, Atlantic, Iowa. DISCOURAGING PRIVATE BUSINESS It matters not on which side of the political fence one happens to find himself, if he be at all reason able he must admit that whenever the government, ualng the taxpayers' funds, enters into competition with Its own people it la likely to be dis couraging to th? development of pri vate enterprise. There are some public matter! which the average citizen should Just as easily discern as the problems of "two plus two eqaals four." The matter of governmental sub sidisation of business, in whatevei form It shows Itself, should be equal ly Intelligible to the average work aday citizen as It is thoroughly un derstood and properly evaluated b] the thorough student of public at fairs.

Editorial writer. Republican. Santa Rosa, California. CRIME AND PUNISHMENT The most frequent comment we hear about the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby is that "hanging is tss for- the perpeUatois of this heartless, brutal crime. We are Inclined to agree, not only In this Instance but in general, that our present methods of punishment for crime are "too good" tor the criminals. We have tried being tender-hearted with criminals for a good many years, in most parts of the country. The net result is an enormous Increase in crime, over- . crowded prisons conducted at heavy cost to the taxpayers, and the belief of every "smart" crook that he can "beat the rap" if he only gets a law yer smart enough and crooked 1 enough to find the loopholes in the law. We have carried to the limit of absurdity the principle that it Is better for a tboussnd guilty men to escape punishment that for one in nocent man to be convicted. Certain facts seem to us incontro vertible. One is that the death pen alty is no deterrent of murder where it is not promptly and certainly en-tj forced. Another Is that imprisonr I ment does not reform criminals nor the fear of it frighten them. Other methods of punishment, other means of preventing crimed must be die covered and applied. Let sociologist* deal irith the causes ot crime, the Influences that make criminal* oat of boys. But let us all take a practical, common-sense view of the punishment fqr crime, j At all costs let us back up our law- j enforcement agencies, let us clear the statute books of the laws which protect the crlmiiQil, let us .speed up our criminal trials and place men on 1 the bench who will show no mercy to those who deserve none, and then let us consider whether the old-fash ioned whipping-post, the stocks and the pillory, which held the convicted criminal np to public disgrace and shame, may not be as effective de terrents ot crime as the gallows, the electric chair or the penitentiary. The outstanding characteristic of the modern criminal gangster Is his vanity. "Two-Gun" Crowley went to the electric chair a hero in his own eyes and 1* those of his child-mind ed admirers. Oerald /Chapman, murderer, Is a figure of greatness among youthful crooks because he smiled when the trap was sprung. Would crime seem heroic, criminals heroes. It Orowley had been flogged In public and Chapman ax posed to public contempt in the stoeks? We think net. .We think that punish ments to be effective should be so shameful that dread of tfcflr dis grace will deter even the i*4St hard ' ened. " "'/ .

Government Loans Thirty Five Per Oat Reduction of Cash Crops awl a Balanced Typp of Farming All appllc*tloiia for loan* that do not show a reduction of S6 per cent In acreage of cotton, tobacco and peanuta are being returned for cor rection. The applicant, when he sign* for a loan agrees to reduce his cash crop acreage by this amount. The latest Instructions al so say to fill in all crops to be grown so aa to ahow a balanced system of farming. The queatlon ia being asked; what muat the farmer do to comply with the wishes of the Government in order to obtain a loan? First he must reduce his acreage as request ed. ? Where he planted IS aeres last i year ha will grow only 10 this year. But what Is he to plant on this one third of his cash crop land so as to show a balanced system. ? First, grow your feed for live stock and poultry and second food for, your family. We have already received several applications request ing $20.00 is acre for 2 acres of truck to b? planted The ? commit tee, as well aa the anthoritlea is . Waahlngton know that they will ] hardly have a decent garden. You ' not only Jeopardize your loan but : many auch applications going into 1 Washington will cause them to look . on the applications from the county I with a watchful eye. The penalty I for misrepresentation calls for a i $1000.00 fine and < montha In prla- : on. This is not a warning to cut i your garden but to keep one from ' getting money for another purpose i than the one stated. 1 To further show a balanced ays- i tem we must retain or increase the fertility of our soila. So in addl- i tion to our cash crops, food and . feed erops, we are urging the plant- i ing of some soil building crops. In | fact we are almost requiring the planting of such crops. After a ] study and observation of the crops i suitable to the soils of this county i we have decided td recommend ] without hesitancy lespedeza aa the crop that will most nearly fill the i bill. This crop may be seeded now j and up until the middle of APrU- I Cultural methods will be supplied i by the one filling out your blank. ; Many farmers realised more from i the sale of their lespedeza seed than from their cotton and tobacco crops, i Those farmers live in Franklin County. An acre of lespedeza may J be seeded for hay or soil Improve ment for $2.00 to . $3.00 per acre, i A crop of lespedeza turned under i for corn will double the yield of ] land that will produce the county yield of 18 bu. per acre. Do you know of a cheaper fertilizer? If you want to sow more than you have seed to sow use 10 pounds Instead of 26 per acre. The authorities very seriously considered requiring fcvery individual borrowing money from the government to plant aa acre of lespedeza, at least, per horse. If you cannot get your land in some soil building crop, terrace It to prevent washing and let It lay ' out. The County Committee is as fol lows: W. T. Moss, J. A. Williams, O. L. Winchester, Charles P. Green, in charge of loans In the County.'
