One reason why women can’t keep secrets is because they tell them to their husbands. )fj Hard work, long hours and low pay is not the way to make a country permanently pros perous. People who fail to mind their own business are rarely equipped to take care of other peo ple’s problems. The lion and the lamb may lie down to gether some day but Democrats and Republi cans are different. We have changed our minds on many sub jects in our life, but up to date, we still main tain that there is no use for spinach. Mother’s Day will be observed by many peo ple who care very little about what happens to the average mother of the nation. Speeding automobiles arfpincreasing threats to life and limb. Careless auto drivers should be punished, even if they live in our own town. MOTHER’S DAY FOR ALL MOTHERS Next Sunday is Mother’s Day and millions of American children will express affection for their mothers in some tangible way. This is a splendid idea and all of us should appreciate the opportunity it offers. Affection and love for one’s own mother is the natural order of living and in some individuals has grown into a veneration for motherhood in general and is marked by increasing concern fer the physical well-being of all mothers. Mother’s Day will not have achieved its pur pose in our lives until we, as a«people, reach this last stage. Unhappily, the number of deaths that accompany motherhood in the Un ited States every year indicates a tragic fail ure on our part to do all that should be done. Encouraging, however, is the sentiment that has demanded that steps be taken to assure proper safeguards for all mothers and to save the lives of many women needlessly sacrificed each year. The individual reader of this article may think that his, or her influence is small, but nevertheless we urge everyone to take some interest in the problem. Certainly civilization has not reached a very high level when such a condition continues to exist without effective protest from children who have grown into maturity and understand the factors involved. GUARD AGAINST ENVY Nothing kills a town or city quicker than a spirit of envy, regardless of how it works. As long as the people of a community are striv ing to keep ahead of others, with no other goal in view, then that long will the settlement re main a hick village, even if it has people by the thousands. Fortunately, our town is singularly free from an excess of mean-spirited envy, the low down spite of narrow-minded souls. Once in a while One runs across a petty exhibition of dun gusting selfishness expressing its discontent' by striking at a neighbor or at home. Luckily, most of the time, our people are broad-minded, liberal and unselfish. will do us no harm, however, as citizens of our town to guard against this insidious poison that saps community good will.

Too many : will stop their scholastic training at' the end of 'high school days wj - out realizing the-1 tremendous1 advantage that’ will come tb-them by - pursuing their way through college. - This newspaper does not recommend a col lege course for every bey and girl. There wa* a time when people thought this was a good idea, but, undoubtedly, there are some boys and girls who will not take advantage of the educational opportunities that can be obtain ed. These might as well go to work, whether they are the sons or daughters of rich or poor parents. At the same time, let us urge all students who are completing their high school courses to give serious thought to the possibility of a/t tdnding college. The right institution, and the right personal application, will make a dif ference in life. There are people in our town who would be charming companions and become firm friends if they took time off to get- acquainted with each other. Washington News For U. S. Farmers FARM INCOME UP RURAL ELECTRIC LINES FLOODS AND SOIL LOSS EROSION LOSSES ENORMOUS Farm income is expected to exceed that of: last year on account of increased marketings, which more than off-set a decline of about 5 percent in farm prices. For the first three months of the year, ac cording to the Bureau of Agricultural Econ omics, the total income was $1,554,000,000, or $101,000,000 more than for the same period last year. This gain is recorded in spite of decreased rental and benefit payments which were seri ously affected by the invalidation of the AAA. Farmers in many sections of the United States are beginning to enjoy the advantages of rural electrification which is making remark able strides. Of course, progress is slow when compared to the vast number of farm families without electric service, but it is encouraging when compared with the number formerly using electricity. Administrator Morris L. Cook reports that more than 7,800 miles of lines are now in pro cess of being constructed to serve nearly 29, 000 new rural customers. In many cases the projects are undertaken through cooperative county units and farmers in this county who desire electricity should begin making plans to take advantage of the government’s program to make electricity available to rural residents. Destructive floods in the East recently em phasized the vital importance of flood control in the United States. As a part of the problem involves the con trol of rain water over large water sheds, it is obvious that the solution is not in the erection of higher levees and dams in the low lands but that some method must be devised to regulate the flow of rain water in the up-lands. This happens to fit in with the Department of j Agriculture’s program of soil conservation. The rapid run-off of rain water not only pro duces flood water in the lower reaches of our rivers but carries away vast quantities of rich farming land with huge loss to American far mers. Scientific checks on experimental plots have demonstrated unmistakably that the run-off can be slowed down. Heavily timbered areas, with their natural mulch, retain practically all rainfall, but in open fields, under various sys tems of cropping, more than 60 percent of the rain runs off in headlong fashion. Where the land is steeip, with erosive gullies in places, the run-off is practically complete. Secretary Wallace points opt the interest of fanners in conserving soil is to be served by slowing the run-off. If this is done oyer wide areas, it will be important in flood control, but more vital is the saving of moisture in the land and the prevention of costly erosion. He cites an estimate that 3,000,000,000 tons of Ameri can soil now blows or runs in the rain down to the rivers and the sea each year. This is enough to cover 1,800,000 acres an inch deep. While it takes Nature from 400 to 1,000 years to lay down an acre inch of top soil, some of our land today is losing that much in a year ' from erosion.
