Keep trying and eventually the sun will shine. Samuel Instill lost three hundred million dollars which is no more than millions lost who saw every thing they bad wiped out. its tough for every one. • its painting season and many are getting ready to dress up the house and garage. It helps appearances ami it helps the workmen, its a splendid way to help the unemployment situation. We have reached the point where those who have been complaining about the smoke nuisance in the industrial centers think they could almost ]< ( ve the smell of smoke now. Regardless of the results tins year you can safely bet that the vote next November will be the largest on record. Every one is eagerly waiting to vote against some body. The campaign is nearing the close and from now on tin- candidates will be putting in their best licks about twenty-four hours a day. Its the finish tluit counts. They were till busy today. The Culled Charities are receiving numerous applications for lots that can be used for gardens and they will appreciate any aid along this line you can give. If you have a 10l send them word and if you <an assist in getting seed and providing other expense it will help greatly. We are still not convinced that this nation ought to wipe out the foreign debt. This money was loaned in good faith and if the conn tries which borrowed it don't jiey we will have to. It may take years to get it but eventually that ought to happen. It costs a lot of money Io publish a daily newspaper and it just can't l.e done for less than the present rale. Every effort is being made to give you the news as it happens, to boost this county and community and to help every one here If that isn't worth a penny a day its hardly worth doiug. If you are a mail subscriber we urge you to pay dues now, if you arc iu arrears. Have A Radio Party My campaign for the Democratic nomination for Congress must be made largely by radio. I am a working man, although 1 work at a desk, and can not do as wealthy candidates or idle ones can -spend my time running up and down the district calling on the leaders who imagine they control the votes of their towns or counties. I think in these days that really is largely' imagination, anyway. .But I tan do this. I can chat with you.a few minutes occasionally by radio. I am going directly to the voters of the Fourth Cougreasional Distrie.l In that way. Please do me the honor to tune me in. I will not Impose on yon with a long speech. My chat will be short and definite. There will be no oratory. But I will "say things." Station WQWO (1160 Kilocycles) Saturday, April 16, 8:45 p. m. Saturday. April 23. 8:45 p. iu. Monday.

It takes four people to make u thousand cigars a day. (t is estimated that some twenty-five or thirty thousand arc burned up in this county each day. if there were home made, it would mean the employment of a hundred or more people dally. The same thing can be said of other lines —bread. Ice cream, meats, motors, tile, gloves and a lot of things that are made in this county. Ils Just good common sense to use them. Its funny how the republican press grabs every little thing that comes up and tries to make it look as though the democratic p»rty is wrecked. They have been trying that a long time now and without success. They won't be able to do it now. We may not all agree on every issue but the great majority B<-em to feel that this nation will be helped by a change of administration ami just as sure us election day rolls around they are going to have it. In £he so-called "honor trial" at Honolulu, perhaps the must interestsing feature to a thoughtful man or woman is the character of the jury. It is composed of five men of American descent, three Chinese, a Portuguese, a German, a Dane and a Hawaiian. The five Americans*, analyzed, would run into other races. Except for its lack of Japanese and Filipinos, this group represents pretty well the cosmopolitan quality of our lovely’ island outpost in the Pacific. It might be said that if such a group can agree in such a case, the East and West are met. and unity is possible in the Pacific basin. We need not blame foreigners if they are scary about the value of cuir dollar. It is probably ourselves who have made them so. Congress I hedges ami delays and plays politics with the game of balancing the budget. There is a movement Io pay billions as a bonus to war veterans out of a treasury already billions in the hole. There are urgent appeals made for money in fiation. We mill around and do not seem to be getting anywhere, and Ihe most popular remedy is the patent medicine of cheap currency. We may yet have to come to this remedy. But surely there are cominon sense things' that come first. The surgical operation of cutting costs ami balancing budgets, from the federal government down, shou'd be performed as quickly 4ml painlesssly as possible, and with as little polities as possible. Thon it will be time to concentrate on the major problem of getting industry to work; without inflation if possible, with it if there is no ether way. • _. « Modern Etiquette -ty- | ROBERTA LEE Q.

PoosEorpT Convicted of assault and blackmail in 1908, Walter Bannigan, who was 23 years old at the time, was sentenced to fourteen years in prison. 1 He was sent to Sing Sing, whence he escaped in 1910 with four other convicts, under the leadership of Big Bill Green. All. with the ex* ception of Bannigan, were subsequently recaptured. Changing his name to John Casey, Bannigan set out along the straight and narrow path, determined that he was through with crime. He obtained em* ' ployment as a house-painter and stuck to his job until the World War ' broke out. Then he joined the Canadian Army and went to France. I When the war ended he was a sergeant. On his discharge from tha army, he returned to New York City, where he took up his housepainting again and made such a success at it that he became a contractor. However, the depression knocked his business, in common with a million others, to pct. One evening, while wandering about the big city, almost broke, Bannigan went into x mission, maintained for the uplift of drifting sinners on New York's West Side. He was impressed by what he saw and heard there and was converted. The mission authorities were also impressed by his sincerity, to much so that > I they gave him a job as handyman around the place. But Bannigan wasn't happy while the old sentence hung over him and the other day he presented himself to Warden Lewis Lawes at Sing Sing and to’.J his story He is back behind bars now, but Lawes was so impressed by his exemplary behavior since his escape over two decades ago that he is going to lay Binnigan'i case before Governor Roosevelt with • view to obtaining a pardon for the prodigal prison breaker.

John fusey, As lie "as known, re larm d»i*» New York city and hired out at his old trade of housepainter. He prixspered and seven years .go lieiame a painting contractor. Tin- outlook seemed rosy. Imt tliat voice of conscience continued its whispering campaign. Then value the depression, ami Baiinigaii's business, in with a million others, went to pot. He was forced to drop liis l oiitrai l ilig ami take odd painting jobs (Im- night when In- was nearly broke he wandered into a mission on New Yorks Wist Side. Some one was preaching and exhorting tin- sinners to conn- forward and i epent. Bannigan in hi , own word-. “got religion.’’ and after that was a frequent visitor at tlie mission. About a year., ego, mission authorities, impressed with Hie man’s obvious sincerity, gave him a job as handy man and he worked there, painting and keeping the place in repair by day and joining in the prayer meetings at night, until Hie other day when h" tiually decided to make a '.lean breast of Jiis past misdeed: and take his medicine. When Hannigan walked in on Warden Lewi.; Lawej at sing Sing and told his story, lie confessed I that h<- felt hippier than be had tor years. Warden Lawes, famous for In humane understanding of erring human nature, could hardly credit his story. But flwt'lgraphs and fingerprints • unfinned 11. so Bannigan was put back behind the I.ns from which he escaped over itwo decades ago. , However.
