Even in Wisconsin, the original home of
“protection” for the dairying industry, there
is rebellion against unreasonable high taxes
on oleomargarine.
In Wisconsin unreasonable State taxes are
piled onto unreasonable Federal taxes and
the result ts that margarine sells for about
the same price as butter. It has now de
veloped that margarine is being bootlegged
into Wisconsin from Illinois — although
either the buying or selling of untaxed mar
garine is a high ciime in Wisconsin. The
practice has become so widespread that a
new word, “oleolegging," has been coined
for it.
Congress should end the margarine taxes
at this session. Even the people of Wiscon
sin are sick of them —News and Observer.

Once 1 wrote an article about the public
relations mai n the circus and whv he was
called 1 he Frunt Door. The other day when
1 was talking with the editor who gave me
that slogan, 1 noted that, in his vivid circus
lingo, he classified people into whether or
not they were “big-time”. When I asked
why, he explained that he meant thev were
not merely performers who landed in the
top shows, but those whose work was well
above the average. Who could carry the
load of a big job Who were good enough
for the big shows. Who. in short, were “lug
time". *■
Can you go on working when circum
stances arc against vou? When there is a
job to he done, do you stick at it, regardless
of your ovvn personal plans? Do vou do what
you set out to do? Do you finish each pro
gram you start? Do you practice to perfect
yourself in your chosen work0 In the cir
cus they learn how to keep on learning.
How do you stack up on team work? Cae4
you work with others only when you are
bossing the show? Or can you do your share
of the menial tasks with a willing spirit? My
sloganeer said: “They are all producers in
the circus—perhaps because they all ride
elephants in the parade." That is. no mat
ter what their specialty, or how good they
are, they aren’t too big to join the parade
and take their place in the line of march.
Let’s carry it a little further. How gen
erous are you of yourself? Do you take time
to be kind and considerate of those around
you? A man is known by the courtesy he
shows to lesser folk Are you measured in
speech, strong to condemn evil, but wary of
hurting with the careless word or laughing
phrase that bears a hidden barb? Do you
deal in false generalities or do you seek for
accuracy—and keep still when you haven’t
the facts?
The men who are big are the men with
time to give to others. They have not wait
ed for their opportunities. They have sought
them and made them. They have done their
work, and done it well, so that there are no
loose ends to serve as tipie-takers. They do
not have to stand upon their rights. They
look rather for the privilege of service. They
are too big to be petty—in anything. And,
whatever their station in life, they are re
cognized for what they are—big-time.

Tobacco growers said little at tin1 time
but they were a bit skeptical about the tim
ing of the announced reduction in tobacco
acreages last year. The crop had been mar
keted and the reduced allotments did not
influence prices. Possibly the reduction is
influencing prices now, but instead of wait
ing until after the marketing season this
year the U. S. Department of Agriculture
comes out and announces an increased al
lotment for 1949. What effect, if any, the
announcement will have on the markets re
mains to be seen, but from the farmer’s
standpoint he is of the opinion .that he has
been attacked from both sides.

Tiie Harrison Oil Company is
most grateful to Williamston fire

night to render aid during the
fire that threatened its proper

It was this aid and that offered
by others that possibly prevented
a disastrous fire and held the com

which was not covered by insur
ance.
