Help a Good Cause
The Red Cross Roll Call should appeal, to every
person because of the .good it has done to humanity
throughnu' the world. Vet all the society has (I ne
has been made possible by the small donations from
generous people. When we have earthquakes, tidal
waves, volcano eruptions, storms, pestilences, war, or
any other calamity in any part of the world, the man
who answers the roll call with his one dollar is there
to help, because there is where it goes -to help the
suffering and distressed.
This year the roll call campaign will begin on No
vember 11, Armistice Day, Every person who wants
to do a good deed on that day will have the chance
by dropping one dollar iTTThe Red Cross' Treasury:
Remember, it goes to help those who need.
Bad News and More Bad News
_ |
There seems to be lots more bad news than there |
is good. '
Big head lines about men killing their wives and
wives killing their husbands' lady friends, and hus
bands killing their wives' men friends, men suing
their wives' lovers and wives poisoning their husband,
to clear the way for younger lovers are numerous
in all the papers these days. And then to add to the
bad news there are gangsters shooting up towns, kill
ing men, women and children. All that with the rabble ;
riding rough-shod through the land killing their j
friends and themselves, and the robbing, stealing, i
lieing and hundreds of other crimes cer'.ainly due; j
make a lot of bad news.
()n the other hand, the folks have almost stopped j
talking about the better things in life. You hardly j
hear the word prayer. The name of the Lord is seldom
heard except by some vane curser who knows not the
Lord. Of course there isn't much said about the
church unless a preacher goes wrong, and then the
Devil shouts. We talk more about the Judases than
all the other apostles. We talk more about the girl
whu falls than we do about the one that rises. In
fact, our minds seem inclined toward the bad. Our
taste and desire for the good are very weak. w
More of the good needs to be taught in the homes,
the schools, the highways and even at the semi- ,
gambling card games. "* Decent |)ersons should re- j
member how ugly it is to curse and swea r . What we 1
need to do is follow the admonition of the wise man, i
Solomon, who said, "Remember Thy Creator in the |
days of thy youth."
Good-Bye To Capone
It is to be hoped that the notorious bootlegger, gang- I
ster, and all-round crook recently convicted in the j
Federal court at Chicago will soon be shut behind the
walls of Leavenworth prison, and that his name will
disappear from the front page of the new-papers for
many years to come. Because he was reputed to be
at the head of a gang of scoundrels who have com
mitted every crime from murder down, and because
he is supposed to have amassed a million or so dol
lars, this Italian ex-barkeeper has had a vast amount
of publicity. Of course, the public was considerably
interested in the man, and he made good copy, espec
ially for newspapers that make a socially of sensa- j
tional news, but believe most folks have had |
enough of him. The Federal officers who finally put
him where he belongs deserve the thanks of all detent J
people.— Beau)ort News.
Nights Were Made for Sleeping
Will Rogers says he sent his two boys off to school
because he was so tired of trying to get them up
every morning—which indicates that everybody has
trouble. Yet it would be so easy if folks could only
learn which end of the night to use for sleep. We
might get a good lesson from the lower animals and
fowls. They always wind up their day's work in time
W» full night's rest, and are out early in the morn
ing to get plenty of good food, and have a whole day
to eat and play. _>
Of course, if these animals and fowls were to prowl
around as late at night and sleep as late mornings as
boy* and girls do, they would all be destroyed at
night or starve u> death the next day.
WIH is right in smiting the boys off where they
trill be made to get up. That is the only good thing
about the Army li dot mak- lu bo;, ~ i

A Caste Law
How popular is the game law, and how often is
it violated? This, like many other questions, of course
can not be accurately answered.
However, it seems to be one of the most hated
laws that we now have. It has practically stopped
the poor man from the privileges and the pleasures of
either hunting or fishing. It has put all those privi
j leges in the hands of the wealthy sportsmen. The
j poor man neither has land to hunt on nor money to
| buy licenses.
Of course, it may IK- better for the poor, because
1 there is no pay in hunting. On the other hand, the
! law certainly does classify the rich on one side and
j the poor on the other.
One s|K>rtsman has recently complained that the
last legislature thought more of corn than it did the
squirrels, and, too, in a rather critical manner. Of
i course the legislature needs to protect both. How
j ever it is a dangerous thing to permit sportsmen to
! dictate the laws governing our natural resources.
It has been said that the people hate the liquor law
| more than any other, which is incorrect. To begin
1 with, men admit it is! wrong to manufacture and han
dle whisky, and few |>eople will stoop to do it. But
when it comes to the game, law, the average man
can not understand why he can not go out on his
neighbor's hedgerows, with his permission, and shoot
a few crows, sparrows, and quail; and if a fox catches'"
a goose or a hen, most of us feel we should have the
right to shoot the fox in or out of season, with or with
out license. As' things now stand, very few people
can hunt' unless they are in the upjier class.
"Whoopee" On the Wane
Those blessed optimists who make it a practice to
find good in all things met tough digging in some
parts of the country during the past winter. The
great depression was advertised in most of the pa[)ers
with as many adjectives as the circus publicity man
yanks out the dictionary. The optimist, however,
found reasons to prove that we were on the upward
climb, although it might be difficult to see at the time.
Perhaps. one of the good things thai has come to
I us is a new spirit of earnestness and sincerity in our
j lives. The war-time prosj»erTfy~was followed such an
! orgy of extravagant living that it was necessary to
' coin the word "whoopee" to describe it. I'his life
produced new birds, the "whoopee-er" and the
I "whoopee-ess," To them, days were lhings to be
I burned on the altar of license. The fact that in datic
around this funeral pyre they might become very
badly scorched themselves never seemed to matter.
Prhaps the cold waters of dpressjjtan were needed to
extinguish the fires of "whoopee." Perhaps they were
needed to let these pathetic fouls and-there were mil
lions of millions learn that "wh«o|)ee"
wasn't really having a good time at all.
Certain it is that people are now giving much more
serious attention to the worth-while things of life.
; Serious books, meritorious plays, and good music are
rapidly coming in for their own. Many misguided
| p? pie are beginning to find that they need their heads
i as well as their feet and appetites. They are learn
' ing that the things that we enjoy the most are ill
I things that we build with our own brains and bodies,
for the happiness of ourselves and others. One so- !
ciety "whoopee-ess," a chlid of wealthy parents of
high standing in an eastern community recently said
as she was entering the lock-up after a will party that
had resulted in a fatal automobile accident, "1 wanted -J
to have a pleasant evening at home, with music and
games, but he insisted upon going out, and Icouldn't
stop his drinking.". Just think what a little music |
might have saved that night!
If the depression stiuck a few death blows to
"whoopee" it did a good job; A hilariously good time
is a very different thing from its" counterfeit,
'' whoopee."— lit ude.
Laws Passed for Public Safety
From Shelby Comes the report that a state highway !
l>atrolman advised a man driving a mule to a cart
on a public road at night that he ought to place a
light on either the mule or the vehicle, for his own
protection and the safety of the animal, as well as for
the safety of all whi» passed that way on motor ve
hicles The driver of the mule declined to take the
precaution suggested, with the result that a car
the outfit the same night, killed the mule, and t he
driver was taken to a hospital seriously injured.
There is a law in this state which provides that ve
hicles drawn by team and traveling the highways at
■light carry a light. Many who find rt necessary to
tjhus travel at night fail to comply with the law and
even condemn it, offering criticism for those whose
duty it is to enforce the law. 'They api>arently fail to
I appreciate a law which was |>assed for the protection^,
of life, their own life, and that of others. It is another
' case of ignoring one's own safety and at the same >
J lime the safety of others.
'There are other laws, passed for the safety of indi
viduals, which frequently are violated. Take, for in
stance, the law against fast and reckless driving, as
well as that which requires proper lighting of motor
vehicles. Failure to comply with these laws on the
part of motorists result in many casualties. And yet
folks are prone to complain when an officer "pulls"
them for doing things prohibited by law, and which
not only places their own life in jeopardy, but the
lives of others. — Sampson Independent.
f Restoring Confidence
Business should improve, with the apparent unit
ed fight the bankers of the country are making to
help conditions. The old story, want of confidence,
should be ruled out, and confidence restored.
Much of the trouble today has come because folks 1
were afraid of the banks, and the banks were afraid !
'of the folks. Just as soon as the people begin to help ,
each other, we will see better times.

The Successful Storage of
I i Vegetables Calls For
I i Certain Requirements
r I —• —
By Miss LOR A E. SLEEPER
{(County Home Demonstration Agent)
| | Successful vegetable storage de
mands a knowledge of the storage re
quirements of the different crops. Some
• crops keep heft at temperatures only
slightly above freezing, while others
require moderately warm surround
! nets. Vegetables also differ as to
J lioisture One group may
1 keep best in an atmosphere of mod
erate humidity, while another group
, requires that the air be fairly dry,'
iThe following classification will help
in determining just how to store Ihe
'different crops:
I 1. Warm Temperature and Moder
ately Dry Atmosphere.—Sweet pota
toes, pumpkins, and winter squashes.
A storage temperature of 50 to 55 k'-
gress will prove best. These condi
tions are best obtained in a standard
sweet potato storage house. Put in the f
pumpkins and squashes after the sweet
potato curing period is over,
t *2. Cool Temperature and Moderate
Humidity.—Cabbage, collards, beet*, I
carrots, parsnips, salsify, turnips, andi
it ish potatoes. Practicaljy all of these,
i rops keep well in tkommon forms of!
storage such as pits, hills, or cellars. |
A temperature only slightly above j
freezing (.15 to 4U degrees) is satis
factory for this group. Proper veuti i
lation is important. The atmosphere,
should be moist enough to prevent:
shriveling but dry enough to prevent
the development of rots.
In most parts of the state cabbage j
and' collards may be kept in th? field;
where grow n with only, slight protec-1
tion. Many gardeners keep both crops j
liy pushing the plants over to the |
ground and covering the stems and the;
lower part of the heads with soil.
' Parsnips and salsify are quite hardy,
»o'may he left in the field where they j
are grown. Beets, carrots, and irisli !
potatoes may be kept in hills, dug |
outs, or cellars. A cool, dark cellar
with a dirt floor is a good place for '
these crops. If outdoor storage is
necessary, barrels make satisfactory
receptacles. Places the barrels hor- j
xontally. partially sunk in the ground j
if a wefl-drained location is available.
Such a nittltipfle-barrel pit offers a ;
convenient mentis of storage, since the |
i vegetables * are stored • in . relatively |
small units and may be rem. ved a j
barrej at a time,
3. Cool Temperatuie and Dry At- |
inosphere.—The onion is the principal
crop coming Under this classification. I
