We missed the old fashioned "he-haw-he" but it was good any way and the fourth district democrats all got a thrill out of the feature. Income taxes are off for the first quarter which of course is no surprise for the average individual knows that he didn't make any money last year and few’ who did. Some one asked John D. Rockefeller for one of his souvenir dimes the other day and after feeling in his pockets the old billionaire* had to admit he didn't have a penny. But don't lose much sleep over that. He can get it it and when lie really needs it. Bo h the wets and the drys de<lare they are satisfied with the results ui the recent vote in congress. -The drys won by forty votes which makes them happy while the wets are jubilant over the fact that they made the best, showing since the law went into effect. Fred VanNuys doesn't like the sales tax in which opinion he is nog alone. Most folks feel it is itbt only senseless But unnecessary. In times like this a government which increases the burdens is not doing that which their constituency prefers. You can bank < u that. -George Eastman, the kodak king wiio made millions on a five dollar original start, finished his job. sent his secretary out of his room, wrote a note, “my work is done, why wait?" took a pistol from his drawer and blew his brains ou’. Will that's one way of writing the last chapter but a foolish way it seems to us. He may find that his Maker did not feel his work finished. 'There won't be any pick up in business, Mr. Merchant until you make it and there is only one Med way to do that and that is by ut-w;-paper advertising. As long as you hibernate you won't pick up pinch feed, so it becomes a case how long you can stand it. When you get ready to do business the first thing you will think of is advertising.

Adams county, where they are democrats In season and out. I Well. Fred, you will never regret I any time you spend in Preble town-1 ship. They are real folks, the salt ' of the earth and the same every i day. The country is tilled with howl- ‘ ing dervishes, kill joys and expon- 1 ents of total ruin. They are a . cheerful tribe —jast like the germs ■ Jet typhus or bubonic plague. They | thrive on dejection and revel ini despair. Their gospel is that of in 1 ? solvency and collapse; they gloat! - over every sign of weakness in the economic structure. There is no I s rumor too direful for them to re-' jpeat, no prediction too dreadful to* (broadcast. Apparently *their hope; ■I is for the worst, and if they could 11 bring it a little sooner, they would | lido so gladly. All this is too ob-1 , . viously true; gloom and defeatism j . have spread widely and become ex-1 ; traordinarily expressive. But they -Ido not represent the true spirit or' J genius of the nation, and surely I J they are not based upon reasoning! i i processes. There Is no ballyhoo i .1 or Pollyanna attitude in discount ! r ing extreme fears and expecting at 1 i least a measure of hopefulness! and recovery. Past experience at-! lords a basis for a reasonable out-' - look, and discourages the extremes ■ |ol op imism like those of 1929, and! jot pessimism like those of the pres-j j lent. History affords us little pre-j ? cedent either for our foolishness i t'ol three years back or for the j ;! peculiar brand w hich abounds to-1 day. The revelers in gloom speak in solemn tones of impending » changes in the economic system, j s Certainly there should be many al-' s Iterations and. in all probability - -piiere will be. Change is not toj -1 be feared if it is for the better. ’ s iWe need a cleaner, stronger tinan- ’ - eial and economic svstem. But! t that affords no ground for pessim ism. The right sort of changes: j should prove a challenge to the I 11 lori es of recovery and restoration. I '' Not gloom and despair, but com -1 t age and constructive work, will ( ■ give us a less defective financial' tnd economic structure. —Saturday : j i Evening Post. 3 >— ♦ ! t i Lessons In English t ] *♦ .

WHAT - IS wme Radishes First Garden Crop

Everybody that starts a garden. I almost unanimously starts with! ! radishes. They are the first seeds j ■ to come up. the first crop that ih_* ] ! garden yields and the easiest t<- | grow. They are also the hardiest i and surest to produce. While a , crop is certain, it can he speeded; | and improved <n quality by giving ! I the radish reasonable attention.] ' Usually the se<-d is sown thickly , and the plants are left to struggle; I iur themselves, only a small por-’ i l ion of them producing good roots, I because they are so crowded they i can’t. Thin sowing of the seed in the I first place and thinniug to two: inches apart after they are up will. I give each plant a chance to do ■ I the best it can. The result will I 1 be better, larger radishes several I I days earlier than it left to tight I for their lives in a thickly plant ! ’ cd row. Also they will be of more' uniform size ami regular shape. | lladislies grow weil in the cooil months. They must grow fast to be tender, crisp and of good flavor. They become strong and pithv in warmer weather. They require rich soil anti plenty of moisture, in other words conditions promoting quick growth. For the earliest type the sorts usually known as French I t easlast are best; these arc the round turnip - shaped forms that give about one good bite to a radish. Following them are the more sub .Inutial long root types. A row of both types ought Io be planted. Lately the handsome clear white icicle radish lias gained great and deserved popularity not only for its fiue quality, quick growth but i for its clean and handsome appearam e on the table. Radishes are not fussy as to ! .oil. They will grow almost auy- ’ I where if there is a reasonable
