COURAGE
I saw some blossoms in a tin can
growing,
Outside a shack where level
plains stretch wide
Beneath a burnished sky; the hot
winds blowing
Across a barren waste. Yet one
had tried
To bring some thought of beauty
to their dwelling
Some sweet remembrance of a
fairer place;
And as I passed it seemed the
flowers were telling
They were but emblems of an in
ner grace;
Assurance that some heart is ever
trying
To find the promise in the love
lier things,
That even desolation stays its cry
ing
Within the desert when such
courage sings.

Hurt In Accident
Z. J. Robertson of the J. M. Chev
rolet Company here, was painfully
hurt on Thursday night of last
week when he was driving on the
highway just outside Selma. Blind
ed by the fog, he ran into a moving
van parked at the side of the road.
Swerving as rapidly as possible,
he avoided striking the van head
on, but struck it with the rear end
of his car and was thrown clear,
striking the pavement and being
rendered unconscious. Owners of
the van were on the spot and Mr.
Robertson was found not to have
been seriously injured, though bad
ly bruised. By a peculiar coinci
dence the car involved was the Olds
mobile driven by Ted Davis on Jan
uary 1, when he ran from an em
bankment and the car overturned,
demolishing the front part. Now
that the rear has also been wrecked
it has been about decided that the
car is a Jonah or hoo-dooed, though
some one may yet be able to drive
it with safety.

CITIES CHISEL ON RELIEF
Minnesota’s three metropolitan
counties that include St. Paul, Min
neapolis and Duluth pull down $3,-
352,971 public relief money. Eigh
ty-four additional counties get
$977,497 from the State’s direct re
lief fund. With all their tremen
dous taxable assets these Minneso
ta cities are as greedy chiselers as
New York City, Chicago, and a
long line of metropolitan districts
throughout the nation. I have a
letter from the editor of the Prai
rie News at Lester Prairie, Minne
sota, which says:
In addition to carrying a consid
erable portion of the relief costs of
the metropolitan centers of this
State, the rural communities also
pay considerable more in taxes in
to the Federal Treasury than is re
turned to them. I, of course, am
speaking of the counties that are
able to pay, such as the middle and
southern counties of this State.”
Nothing illustrates better the
injustices that result from the Fed
eral system of relief, conducted on
the theory that the Government
has such superior qualities in its
brain-trusts than exists in the
States —local communities of the
country.
Here in Washington we are al
ways hearing about the poor farm
ers. Poor indeed, when agricultur
al counties of Minnesota and many
other States are compelled to help
support the chiseling administra
tions ruled over by smart politi
cians. Isn’t it time to change the
existing system by which a central
ized Government in the National
Capital usurps the rights of the
States and the local communities ?

LAMBETH RETIRES
Representative Waltter A. Lam
beth of Thomasville has surprised
Washington and the country at
large by announcing that he will
not be a candidate for reelection to
office, choosing to retire to private
life. Coming so soon after a similar
announcement by Congressman
Umstead, this news causes wonder
in political circles. Both representa
tives were practically without op
position, and both had pleased con
stituents with their work in Con
gress.
There are too many people in the
world who know something that
everybody ought to know.
