ALREADY the present winter has broken all records for numerous baseball trades, just as Connie Mack predicted it would a couple of months ago. Many indeed are the stars who will be seen in new uniforms this coming season. Two of the most colorful diamond figures who were shifted in the recent frenzy of trading are Floyd “Babe'' Herman, who will wear the uniform of "Cholly” Grimm’s Chicago Cubs next season, after spending a year with the last place “Cin- ’ cy’ Red«, and Leon “Goose” Goslin, who will be back with his old team mates, the Washington Senators, after several seasons with the St. Louis Browna.

The colorful Herman should I ! prove helpful to the Cubs, as he is a : I formidable slugger, and, in spite I of all the jokes about his fielding ability, the Babe is a rather efficient • gardener in his awkward way., j What I am eager to see is the way .' the Chicago fans will react to some i of the Babe’s inevitable “boners.” It may be very funny and all that I when “Flerd” manages to convert ■ one of his own three base hits into I a triple play, but those Cub fans. i take their baseball very seriously i • and Babe may find the going rough. ■ after one of his mental lapses, if that Chicago crowd begins to “ride” . him.

I run or two. He's a guy like that, is “Flerd” Caves Herman. Good old Goose Goslin will be happy to be back in his old stamping grounds at Washington, and the fans there will be just as glad to have him back, as Goslin was the most popular player to wear a Senator uniform, with the exception of Walter Johnson. The Goose was apparently never really happy at St. Louis, although he w as well treated by the club, and t next season he may be his old self again, back with his old cronies at Washington. Goslin is a colorful diamond personality. and the Washington fans are rooting for him to come through in 1933 with another of his great ! batting years.

FRANK HEIMAN SENDSLETTER Retiring Member of Hospital Board Writes Letter of Appreciation Frank Heiman, who this week, retired as a membier of the board of trustees of the Adams County Memorial Hospital, is still a good booster for that great public institution' and in a letter in which he thanks all who have contriubuted to its success, he adds the hopo that some day, some one and perhaps several, may endow the hospital, thus maikiug the problem of its continued management at the present high standard, an easier problem. His letter follows:Editor Daily Democrat:1 feel I would be ungrateful to many friends if I neglected to express my appreciation for the many courtesies extended me during the 12 years 4 served on the Hospital board. 1 assure you I retire from the •board with the kindliest feeling towards all, particularly my associates of that body, the entire staff •employed at the hospital from superintendent to janitor. I wish to thank all the men who have served as county commissioners during my 12 years and who appointed and reappointed me. I thank them tor their ooufideuce and good will towards the board and the hospital. During the tenure of my office I cherished constantly the found hope that some noble citizen, man or woman, after a prosperous career in this community, would remember the Adams County Merna! Hospital, in bis will and thus start an endowment fund. It has not happened yet but I am still hopeful. Such a noble deed would merit for the donor everlasting reward and the thanks and appreciation of of the people of Adams county. I believe the Daily Democrat voiced the sentiment of the community correctly when it stated that the appointment of C. J. Voglewede met the approval of all. It certainly met my hearty approval aud I bespeak for him and tlie Adams County Memorial Hospital the continued good will and support of this community iu their efforts to serve the sick and suffering. Cordially, Frank Heiman. 0 — DEMOCRAT TAX FLANS LIKELY TO BE BLOCKED _ CONTINUED FROM FAUE ONE $18.50 under a 2% per cent sales tax with food exempted. The same person under the proposed income tax would pay $36, compared with $4 at present. The proposed income tax schedule would lower the exemption for married persons from $2,500 to $2,000 and increase the rates from four to six per cent on the first $4,000 of taxable income and from eight to twelve per cent on all above that. The higher rates also would apply to single persons with net incomes in excess of SI,OOO. The schedule would be the highest ever imposed in this country, save during the war year of 1918. Treasury officials estimated it would increase the class of incometax tilers by 2,000,000. Clerks, stenographers, even some day laborers, wood be compelled to pay direct federal taxes. Hitherto they have paid only indirectly on such things as cigarettes, gasoline and amusements. Treasury officials also believed the new schedule, if adopted, would greatly increase the number of fraudulent re turns and cause taxpayers to take advantage of possible deductions which they previous)* have overlooked.
