No one begrudges them, but we wish the weather man would scatter out the showers a little more in this end of the county. Senator Robinson seemed so thankful that he got the republican senatorial nomination that he was willing to ‘ make-up" with state chairman Don Irwin. Press reports do not slate how the state chairman feels about the dirty digs the candidate took at him. It's not all fun driving these days. The rural mail carrier does not have an easy job making his route through the hot sun and' dust. Keeping continuously at it takes away what pleasure one might receive from a ride through the country, so when you see your mail carrier remember that his job is not a snap The steel industry cont.nues to show an upward trend. Payrolls have increased more than tour million dollars and nearly 12,000 additional men have been employed. Recently the steel com panics gave a 10 per cent increase to employes, affecting 431,085 persons. It's a good sign that business is getting better. It goes without saying tiiat it is j a pleasure for all to extend con-1 gra.ulations and best wishes to Mr. • and Mrs. A. J. Smith on their fiftieth | wedding anniversary. Such occasions are not only happy ones for the participants, but for their ft ■ nds as well. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in this community are indeed glad, and wish for them many more years of marital happiness.

it was a month ago. Prospects for a big yield are good and with a i shower or two the beets will make 1 much headway. These get rich schemes never i work and we don’t have much sympathy with the fellow who falls for them. Anyone with common sense should know that a phren-1 ologist cannot "make money grow” ’ and if such gullibility still exists.) to be taken for a SSOO roll may be' the best lesson. Anyway the officers will attempt to arrest the crooks, which if accomplished will not mean that the victim will get: i his money back. 7~ The council is not going to take chances on tne city being without x a ter and propose to drill another well on the south side lot. It's economy at this time to do it and it may not be long until everyone will be thankful that the council followed a policy of locking .he barn door before the horse was stolen. Nothing causes as much suffering as a lack of water and . here it’s a ease of expending a few thousand dollars to-guarantee 1 against a shortage, every citizen >lll heartily support such action. It appears that the state's assess-1 rient of the elactric light and water departments of the city plant for taxation purposes is plenty high. The council does not yet know how tiie state tax board arrived at the > aluation of $413,270, of which 3334.000 is given as the valuation of the electric department and $79,270 as the value of the water department. The last legislature passed a law—which is being contested —requiring municipal plants to pay the county and state tax levies. On this basis, the tax, pay- 1 able next year would amount to' more than $3,300. It seems that a larger proportion of the city plant is used for public purposes, whereas the valuations placed by the state board is more than half of the value carried on the books. The matter should be looked into and the assessment lowered, it possible. o •, « Household Scrapbook —BY—ROBERTA LEE ♦ —■——♦ Tucks Tucks in a garment will not have that flattened appearance if the iron is placed on end and the tudks run over them.
