_ Next Monday is the last day for - paving taxes and about two-thirds t>f jjs are still holding on to the money. Its got to be done and so we may as well do it with a smile and as soon as we can. Several nearby cities are planning to have the river banks cleaned and beautified as much as possible this fall and in the early spring, thus providing some work and doing a good turn for those needing work. President Hoover has decided _that the Philippine Islands are not _ready for Independence but we don't know any good reason for keeping them if the citizens there want to run their own affairs. It might be one way to reduce U. S. overhead. Evidently those who play the New York stock markets do not feel greatly encouraged as a result of the Hoover-Laval conference. Usually that is the first place to detect signs of improvement but this week the prices have sagged. JJpw Papa Judd is in the jug and -« a from what is being printed the whole outfit has been rather questionable. hopping from one escapade to another. The doctor was arrested for practising medicine in California on an Oregon license. Al Capone is keeping out of prison by staying in the Chicago jail but its doubtful if he feels that much of a victory. Any way it doesn't make much difference where he is held if they just continue to keep him locked up good and tight. Col. Gallagher impressed those who heard him by his fairness and his evident desire to explain every thing in the clearest maimer. He is in earnest and we believe he will succeed in his plans to reopen the sugar factory here for next year. If he does it will be one great big step towards a better day for this community. Colonel Gallagher was very frank in his statements to the farmers at the sugar beet meeting, regarding the thirty per cent, balance, due on 1930 contracts and we believe the beet growers will be reasonable in their demands against the company. The Colonel seems to be doing every thing he can to protect the interests of the growers. “Lets see the pledges’’ was the reply from the financiers when told by Col. Gallagher that farmers from this section would present pledges for 12,000 acres if given any encouragement. That puts it right up to the farmers of this

territory. If they want it and will I sign pledges to raise beets, we can have the big sugar mill re-opened here for next year, we confidently I. believe. Let’s not permit any grass to grow'. t A meeting of farmers interested in gowing sugar beets will be held 2 at Monmouth Friday evening of this 9 week and similar meetings are to 5 he conducted over the county dur--9 ing the next week or two. Unquesj tionably beets can be made the 1 best cash producer of any crop on the farm next year and we don’t believe any one will “cut off his nose’’ by refusing to cooperate. The plan looks fair and square for every one and ought to work out perfectly. At a meeting held at Indianapolis to work out plans for the unemployed in the state it was de- • cided to urge every one who has repair work to be done to let the contract now and not to wait until i spring. Governor Leslie, speaking at the meeting along the lines he spoke here last week, declared again that every one must help himself as much as possible. Seven million men out of work in the country, will be glad to help if given the opportunity. W hen Dr. Allen B. Kanavel, president of the American College of Surgeons, pleaded the other day for legitimate ’ medical advertising to combat “charlatans and medical hi jackers,' he touched on a point to which physicians the country over have been giving much thought lately. As things stand now, the quack and the faker advertise without restraint; but the scientifically trained physician, more interested in promoting the health of his fellows than in building up his own bank account, cannot. The rule against advertising by physicians, of course, was designed for the protection of the public, and it was { an excellent rule. But is is worth considering whether the times have not changed enough to make some modification of it advisable.—Goshen News-Times. o »— —— # Lessons In English Words often misused: Do not say "1 see it from your viewpoint.” W hile this is in good general use, “point of view" is preferable.

number of years °‘* ago. The actor is now fulfilling an engagement with the Pasadena Community Playei* In the romantic lead opposite Ann Harding will be Melvin Douglas, who came» out here from Broadway to recreate his original role in “Tonight or Never." Be cause of his appearance with Gloria Swanson and Ann Harding in succeeding pictures, this young actor is very much in the Hollywood limelight. lan MacLaren is another member of the ‘‘Prestige’’ east. Rehearsals for the picture already are under way, with Director Tay Garnett planning to complete his •tudio scenes before taking the company to Florida on location. This will enable the rant to take a flying trip to Havana before returning to Hollywood. FISHERMAN'S LUCK. Jimmy Durante writes to tell this one on himself. It seems he hired a boat and rowed out into the lake to fish. Nearby was another boat, containing two lolling figures. "Are they biting today?” inquired Schnozzle. One of the men lazily surveyed him. “Well if they are,” he drawled, "they are biting each other.” LATEST GOSSIP Bill Hart is down with a case of flu. .Douglas Fairbanks has changed the name of his film again Now it's "Around the World in 60 Minutes"..

STATE PLANS TO CUT TAXES WITH OIL LANDS Austin. Tex., Oct. t.-(U.R) ~Refugio County has reached the goal of polical endeavor — support of government without taxes. It lias set an example that Governor Ross Sterling will try for the entile state. It has run its country affairs on money obtained from oil and gas wells. When the Refugio field was developed. the county commissioners, decided that the big plot of ground surrounding the county court house was as likely a spot for oil as any other territory. Their guess proved correct. Oil loyalties supplanted county taxes. On Jan. 1. the state will endeavor to get part of its governmental expenses from oil under the Sabine river in the East Texas oil field. For lack of 15 votes, the attempt must be delayed until then. Those 15 votes would have imssed the oil exploitation bill with an emergency clause making it effective at once. Then a mineral hoard, composed of the governor, state land commissioner and chairman of the state railroad commission, can either lease the river bed. make a contract for drilling in it, or negotiate for a sale of the “Oil in place." The purchasers of the oil in its place under the river conld only be holders of leases along the banks. They could withdraw it through their wells near the river. Governor Sterling estimates the river has 1,000 acres of oil land in the river bed. Production is estimated at 20,000,000 barrels.
