- A Sensible Act The house of representatives did a sensible act in voting down a measure to increase representation. The desire to increase the membership may have been greater than the inclination Nto keep the representation at its present basis, but the common sense of the national legislators prevailed over the disposition to change the present representation. The decision of the house is in full accord with the sentiment of the country, which, in a period of depression, believes that congress should set a good example in the, application of economy. That factor alone was great enough to outweigh any other consideration. The only argument that might have carried a ring of conviction would have been the assertion that an increased membership would have facilitated the dispatch of business and contributed to the enactment of better laws, but this contention would have been answered by pointing out that the important work of the house under its present complexion is virtually transacted by a small group of men. As a matter of fact, the house is .too large now to do effective work and a curtailment of its number to a workable limit would increase its efficiency. .... The country is watching congress more closely now than ever before. Appropriation bills and the creation of new bureaus and commissions will not be allowed to be passed without a challenge from the public as to their real 'purpose. The public debt is weighing heavy on the shoulders of the people. ; They are anxious for a decrease in taxes, and know that this is possible only if congress cuts appropriations to the very limit and refuses to create new avenues for the expenditure of public fund?. The representatives of the people, both in the national congress and in the state legislatures, dare not increase the tax burden in the present crisis! The public is demanding from its servant? greater efficiency and decreased expense accounts. Taxes, the public knows, can be decreased only if public expenditures are curtailed.

Believing in this theory, they look askance at any measure which does not have this object in, view.

Wayne County Farmers and Banks Bankers of Wayne county have taken a broad view on the problem.of financing the farmer, and so, instead of calling his loans or making it difficult for him to obtain necessary funds, they are meeting him half way. This is as it should be, for the agricultural industry is still the basic source of wealth here as well as elsewhere; and if the banks refuse to extend credit judiciously arid wisely, the farmer's welfare will be jeopardized. ' ' " , ' The statements of the Richmond bankers, which reflect the sentiment of bankers in the county generally, are very optimistic and at the same time conclusive of the assistance which the financial institutions are extending to the farmers. , , One of the loudest complaints of farmers in the United States has been an alleged disposition on the part of bankers to refrain from extending credit so that they could carry over their crops until market conditions warranted their sale. The farmer, according to his complaint, is com

pelled to sell -his crops almost as soon as they are harvested, because he cannot obtain enough money to carry him until a future date. This forces him to dump his crops on the market and to accept the price which others are willing to pay for them. Give him enough credit to hold his crop?, says the farmer, and he will not be compelled to accept ruinous prices. Happily for Wayne county, this condition in its most aggravated state does not exist here. If the bankers have extended the farmer with corn and wheat in his bin enough credit to hold Jus crops, he is in a position to market them when he believes the time is opportune and most advantageous to his own interests. All this makes for the prosperity and contentment of the community. If the farmer has confidence in his bankers, and the bankers have faith in the farmer, they are standing on the common ground of mutual confidence, which, after all, is the basis of all business. In this respect again, Wayne county is one of the best places in the country in which to reside. The farmer does not look askance at the banker and mistrust him when he refuses to extend a loan, but realizes that the personal equation must

be considered in every transaction. And, on the other hand, the extension of credit on a liberal and yet conservative basis by the banks, contributes to the welfare of the farmer.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH

HIKE AND WIN! There was a rare little sensible girl who every time she got "mad" would walk around the block 'round and 'round and 'round the block she would walk till she walked the "mad" off! And why not? Hiking is the easiest and the most efficacious way to keep the body toned and the spirit serene. It is the magic oil that Is guaranteed to keep your thinkery operating smoothly and at maximum power. It is warranted to put an edge on you that will cut clean Into whatever you tackle. When you're sick and tired, or grumpy and dumpy, or out of patience and full of sorts hige it off! Hiking isn't ambling, rambling, sauntering or honeymooning. Hiking means pep in your stride, ginger in your gait, exercise that exhilarates rather than locomotion that enervates. Walk! Walk with a will! Walk so you stimulate the system, so your veins pulsate with redder blood, so you feel and radiate life and its glad song. When people had to tramp miles to business and to school, instead of traveling in dried out trains and trams, there was less pneumonia, less bronchial breakdowns, less coughs and colds and more vigor, more sturdlnesb, more virility and far more fun. Automobiling is capital sport, but an ever-mounting u-fteep item Is the cost of dyspepsia tablets. The healthiest and the happiest passenger is the foot passenger. Risa half an hour earlier and use your holidays to absorb the breath of life, to give the revivifying oxygen sorely needed opportunity to revitalize and reanimate and resusticate. Make for a certain spot, and cut the time when next you cover the course. Never mind snow or sprinkle. Never mind tiredness. Never mind anything. Walk it off! Hike! And be a happy, healthy, wholesome human being. Come along! Any time is hiking time! Hike and win!

Rippling Rhymes

1 By WALT MASON t REALISM. When I have filled my fountain pen and found some foolscap blue, I'll write a tale of tiresome men, and tiresome women, too. I'll chronicle their tiresome deeds, the tiresome things they say; t'will be so dull the sport who reads will throw the book away. Some little ten cent human soul I'll analyze with glee, and hoist it on a twelvefoot pole, so all the world may see. And dead game sports who read my book will rend their beards and wail, ''Oh, let the public hangman cook so punk and fierce a tale!" But book reviewers, bulging-browed, will praise it, line by line; they'll say, "One book above the crowd stands forth, sublime and fine. The tale begins where it should end, and ends where it should start; no heroes through its pages wend, no villains grieve the heart; It has no action and no plot, no motive can be found; and yet the volume hits the spot, its technique is so sound. This is no tale of blood and bones, but one in which wo find the soul of Pete Augustus Jones described as 'twas designed." If you are tired of stirring tales where villains get the hook, and virtue in the end prevails, wait till I write my book.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Canf, "Take It", "Up". KEEP HAMMERING AWAY It wasn't so very long ago that I used to love-to stand with unshod feet and watch the blacksmith pound and pound and pound with his big hammer. I would pin my eyes upon the red-hot iron as Ifwas freshly drawn from the forge and I would watch every piece of progress until the pounding finally stopped, and a brand new shoe for-the waiting horso would be thrown into the water filled tub. All day long the blacksmith would keep hammering away! I remember that the faster he hammered, the sooner would he have a finished shoe. I remember that he was always a pleasant man who never complained because I got in his way. I remember that he was a healthy looking man with big arms and a broad chest, and often -with a lot of black on his face! But he gave me a fine, lasting lesson he made his living by hammering and hammering away. I have never forgotten. Many times when big clouds have come and everything got dark, I have whispered to myself that maybe it would be a good idea to straighten up and start hammering away some more. Keep hammering away! It may sound trite to say this but it doesn't work out trite. Compensation comes to him who toils and toils and toils. So keep hammering away. Rest is always sweet and pleasant after the job is ''one.

SPANISH DOMESTICS 'WANT $10 A MONTH

- (By Associated Press) MADRID, Jan. 22. Americana accustomed to paying their ordinary "hired girls" $50 or more a month for general housework will be interested to learn that Spanish domestics are forming a labor organization to enforce a demand for an increase that will bring their wages up to the equivalent of $5 or even $10 a month. Cooks, parlor-maids, kitchen-maids, wet nurses and general help have united "in a movement not only for higher wages but an eight-hour day. This may look ridiculous in America but it la serious business for the Spaniards. They are accustomed to paying . their hired girls the equivalent normally of about $4 a month and requiring them to be on duty from early in the morning to late at night, or even until 1 o'clock the following morning. The servant girls of Spain usually are allowed a1 half day off each month. The eight-hour day proposal hits the householder hardest. One newspaper satirically asks: "How will baby get on if the wet nurse declines to perform her duties for more than eight hours a day?"
