The sooner they get the Supreme Court business disposed of, the sooner the members of the senate can grab their tackle and cool off at their favorite lake or river. When an auto races with a train to a crossing, that’s all right. When the auto loses, that's all right, too. But when it's a tic—that’s dangerous. — Buffalo Motorist. A week or ten days of the kind of weather we have been having for a day or two past and beets and corn will be planted in this vicinity. The season starts off well and every one is hoping for a harvest that will put every farmer on easy street. The stock market continues to sag but don't worry. One of these days the upward climb will start and then look out. The country is safe as long as the stocks remain at prices some where near real value but danger lies when the buyers go on another “don’t sell America short" spree. Wally is keeping in form so her $20,000 worth of new Paris clothes will tit. She seems to be quite a show lady and if any thing happens to her annuity so carefully arranged for she can get several weeks engagements in vaudeville houses if she wishes to build a new income. It pays to advertise. John Hamilton, chairman of the national Republican committee, sent James A. Farley a letter ask ing his for a donation to the G. O. P. treasury and Jim replies that John's mind must be in the same condition it was when he was guessing on the results of last year's election. They haven't figured out yet just what kinu of a slip-up it was. Now the Indianapolis Star wants Ivan Morgan, state chairman of the G. O. P. fired from the organization. They are evidently bent on destroying the old ship, perhaps with a new streamlined model in mind. It all looks funny to outsiders who have always figured that even with all factions of a political party united, the going is usually tough enough. The graduates who are about to enter upon a broader life will do well to remember that to succeed one must work. To get ahead by some smooth plan is only a drcam told in novels. To those who build steadily over a period of years comes the real joy of success Along with it remember that to be happy you must choose the work in which you will be happy, because you enjoy dong it. Governor Murphy of Michigan didn't waste any time when the! Consumer Power workers went on strike. He effected a truce aaid the juice was started through the wires again, permitting factories in the Saginaw district to reopen. It looks like a serious matter when the entire public is made the vic-j

jtlm of a strike and such things soon create a trend of public opinion that is surely not beneficial to t the men. Those old timers who are trying t to prove that baseball today Is a ' refined parlor game in comparison f ’ with the old days should take t notice of the battle between the Giants and the Cards, with Hub- , bell and Dizzy Dean pitching. Itl ) developed into a free-for-all in the I ninth with every member of each j team trying to show up Joe Louis. • It may add zest to the game and I draw a gate but it rather spoils j 1 the scientific part of the greatest! sport in the word. Half of the fatalities from traffic ( last year were pedestrians and I most of these were adults. We have for years proclaimed the necessity of children being careful ! ' when crossing streets but it seems . the men and women gd jay-hawk-, I ing across as they please, often with serious results. Looks as' i though some campaign to instruct 1 the grown-ups will have to be I made and in some cities that is I being done by arresting those who ! do not obey the city ordinances. ________ Speaking to the seniors of the \ Hartford City high school, Gover- ' nor Townsend advised them that i the two primary purposes of life are "to be happy on earth and to live on earth so you can be happy ; after," which is good advice to; every one else We spend too much time seeking false things, getting even with some one, fool t ishly trying to tack up a fortune that isn’t any good after you have , it. Happiness comes from being contented and that state is found more often among the ordinary people than among those listed in > "Who's Who.’’ Walter West, executive secre- j ,' tary of the American Association i of Social Workers, has said of the | . WPA type of work relief that it “is ( neither good work nor good relief.” This hybrid type of synthetic employment seemed the best that coud be done for a time to' meet a need. Even now it will , have to be tapered off carefully. , But at best it has left thousands in desperate straits who fell between the federal and the local programs and found neither work on one nor relief on the other. We urgently advise in its place a system to provide work that is work and relief that is relief. —Christian Science Monitor. Representative Henry Ellenbogen of Pittsburgh, Pa., has introduced a bill in Congress which, if passed, will stop a major part of the impending HOLC foreclosures. The Ellenbogen bill came as an aftermath to announcement by HOLC officials that 200,000 holders j of mortgages were not keeping up their payments and foreclosure I proceedings would be filed against! them. The Ellenbogen bill would reduce the HOLC mortgage inter-j est rate from 5 per cent to 3.5 per ■ cent and extend the amortization from 10 to 15 years to 25 years. That interest rate would still leave HOLC a 1 per cent margin since .it pays only 2.5 per cent for its money. The bill would reduce ni terest and amortization charges from $8 per month per SI,OOO of mortgage to $5 per month per sl,- j 000. The difference on a $4,000 mortgage is sl2 per month, a real ] big sum to the average small householder. There undoubtedly i are some shiftless HOLC mort- . gagors, but when 25 per cent of i all home owners who have been saved by HOLC are scheduled for foreclosure, is clean that the sys- ' tern needs revision. o • Lincoln Med to Be Shown Cleveland —(UP) — iA priceless collection of Linco’niana, including J the bed in which the martyred president died- will be exhibited at the Great Lakes Exposition this year. The display will include also Lincoln's personal notebook, his favorite rocking chair and other articles. I a I j Dance, Sunday, Sunset.
