Well the spring sunshine helps some after ail the clouds of the past few months. If you have something to sell, advertise it. That's the only way you can expect to move your stock of goods or your products whatever they are. It’s time to pay t luff subscription to the Daily Democrat and surely you want the’paper this year when j each day brings so many items of ' interest. Income tax receipts are off one third and the wonder of it is where even that good a showing comes from. Most every one we know is having a tough time breaking even. We will soon know who the basketball champions are both in the state high school association and the Catholic national and we turn next to spring training for baseball. Plan to repair the house, paint it, Ex up the garage, get the lawn I ?ady for summer, make some garden, get busy and employ as many as you can. That will help you and every one else, directly and indirectly. —J Tell the next canvasser who comes to your door that you are spending your money at home. Every dollar you send out of town is gone for good. If you keep it here you have a chance to meet it again some day. There is talk of a five-day week but so far none of the proposals ■ have included the h.-ase wife. By | the way she is the one who works : every daj. pays no attention to i the eight-hour rule, smiles through it all and certainly deserves to be included in any program designed to lesson the burdens of life. Harry Powers, ualicious killer who enticed wome.; to his West Virginia farm and murdered them, was hanged last night, ridding the world of another beast who should have saved trouble and expense by putting himself out of the road if he felt he could not control his I passion for murdering. We don't know Just how congress and senate feels about the sales tax or what the result will finally be but we know that any kind of additional tax is unpopuular at this time, especially when it is so apparent that more money can be raised by reducing appropriations that will hr collected by the proposed new tax. j WILL a loan up to 3300.00 help, you?

The democrats polled about 75,000 votes in North Dakota while the republicans only mustered about 50.000. That s some handwriting, coming from one of the rock-ribbed republicun states of tic northwest, where heretofore the largest democratic vote ever cast in a similar election was 13,ono. Dr. Frederick F. Wolter, of Washington, educated to a high degree, is starving himself to death a.- a protest against a world which does | not recognize his fitness. It oc-! curs to many that a fellow who is j such a “nut” is not as smart as his degrees from college would indicate. The same effort at something else might land him a job that would keep him going until the depression is over. • The markets are the lowest in many years, which m«%ns its a good time to buy. In a short time ‘you will wonder why you didn't have the foresight to do so. We remember that one of the best farmers in this county told us years ago that he made the most money he ever made in his life by buying all the corn he could find shelter for at eighteen cents a bushel back in 1894. Don't think we will never come back. Remember there are 1120,000,000 people to house, feed, I clothe and entertain in this country and that’s enough to assure good times, once we get equalized and started on the upgrade. Tlie reputed poverty of American capitalists and banking institutions nowadays must have been exaggerated. The $900,000,000 issue of United States treasury certificates offered for subscription on March 7 was over-subscribed nearly four to one. The total subscriptions were $3,402,725,500. Evidently there is money somewhere. The subscribers of this vast total all had the cash to buy the securities, or had no doubt ot their ability to raise it. This was the response to a mere opportunity for safe but not profitable investment, in connection with the routine operation of the federal treasury. How many' billions might be subscribed as a “war fund" to revive American industry and trade, if there were an organized plan and adequate sponsorship. either by the government in Washington or the government tn Wall street? • - 4 Modern Etiquette i | —by— ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ <l.

Coward, tells me he will not adapt his new hit, -'Cavalcade,” or any other of his works for the screen. Nor will he write any originals for the talkies. At least not now. It took me two days to make a date with the busy author at his i Beverly Hills hotel, and when I

finally talked to • him he had just breezed :n from a polo game; with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. He admits that Fox is negotiating for several of his 1 plays, but says the deal is not closed as yet “in any event.' I shan't have anything to do with the adaptation,” he de- i clares. “11 j

would be starting all over again for me. I’ve been in the theatre for twenty-two years and I like it. Why should I change?" On the other hand, Coward insists he is a verv good audience for ; the talkies. He thought young, Doug's “The Dawn patrol" an excellent picture, and is anxious to see Helen Hayes in “The Sin ofl Madelon Claudet." So far. he con- : fesses, he has not seen the film ver- • lion of his own “Private Lives.” . One reason is he has beer, traveling in South America, including some remote regions, for the past' four months. He denies reports he has fin i sited another play. “Only it few ■ ideas and notes,” he explains. And I these bearing no relations to his • travels. “The more jungley pia>e I’m in,” he says, “the more inclined I am to write about London." Coward will be in Hollywood for ■ about ten days and then goes on tn New York and to London. He ; still wants to do a play for Alfred Lunt and Lynn F'ontanne, but has no definite idea in mind. AND SO TO GOSSIP. The first talking pictures ever shown in Tahiti were projected on a sail. Douglas Fairbanks rigged up this novel screen on his yacht Invader. He used his portable; equipment for the sound. Papeete j has one picture show, but it uses only silents. Doug, incidentally, has ordered new pictures to bei shipped to him from time to time . . .
