- LEDGER ENTRIES Bolnjr a Oolleciion of Various Topic* of Local and General Interest THE SMALL BUSINESS MEN r pHE GENERAL counsel of the National Small Business Men's aasoclation, said In a recent ad- dress that the small business man and woman will be the salvation of of the American people. These people who conduct the smaller enterprises are so close to the average run of people, that they command a tremendous amount of Influence, and are In a position to save the country from Ite troubles. There are probably several mil- lion men and women of this type In the United States. Up to a recent date they have had little means for exercising Influence. If their pow- er could be brought to bear on legislation and public opinion. It could save the country from many folllei. It takes brains, experience, and Judgment to conduct even what Is called a small business. That kind of experience telle one how the business of government should be conducted. People of that type should be listened to. The Ideas that enable them to handle their own enterprises can save the country from disaster. BUYING AT HOME TS THE FEELING that people should buy goods In their home town just a mere sentiment, or are there positive advantages in it? There is a ctrong sentimental reason for buying at home. If you don't feel Interested enough In your home town to back It up with your business patronage, you are not deeply rooted enough In your home town to get all It has to give you. The advantages of buying at home are also very practical. When you buy In your home stores, you get the advantage of business done on a low scale of costs. It does not cost so much to do busi- ness in a town like Lowell as In big places, which Is shown in our lower scale of prices. When you buy In your home town, every effort Is made to please ypu, since the merchants know they must satisfy their home folks. SELLING JOBS AT ANY young people are looking for chances to sell goods In the stores of Lowell and elsewhere. They ask what the qualifications are for such selling. Probably the two most impor- tant quallficaftbns are these. First, a knowledge of what the goods are. Trying to sell something when you don't know anything particular about it, is a hard proposition. The customer soon discovers you can't give him much help, and Is tempted to go elsewhere. Second, the ability to talk well and give the facts about the goods, Is very important Knowledge of the goods doesn't help much, if you can't express that knowledge in Intelligent talk. Where are the wise men who shall tell as how to handle the problem of the production of ex- cess food, while so many people lack the nutrition they need? FORTY-SIXTH YEAR LOWELL. MICHIGAN, AUGUST 18, 1938 No. 14 Odds IHld Ends Here and There Heaps of Fun On Program For Community Picnic Town and Rural Folks Invited Empty stores, empty streets, em- pty homes—all the appearance* of a Western "ghest" town. That is what Lowell will look like to the strangers who pass through next Tuesday, August 23. for everyone for miles around will be enjoying themselves at the annual Lowell community picnic sponsored by the Board of Trade. Fallasburg Park will be teeming with folks from Lowell community and surrounding villages, having a great time In the numerous sports events and all kinds of con- tests. It is expected nearly every- one will be there by 1:00 o'clock p. m. With the aid of his committee- men, Theron Richmond will serve a delicious picnic lunch consisting of baked ham sandwiches, pota- to salad, beans and beverages. The Lowell Board of Trade re- quests that all merchants close their place of business for the af- ternoon and Join in the fun of the annual picnic. Those not having cars or means of transportation will meet at the City Hall at 1:00 from which point transportation will be provided by trucks furnish- ed by C. H. Runclman. There will also be a big dance In the evening In the shelter house with Royden Warner's orchestra furnishing the music. Remember, we want to see everyone, and that means you, at Fallasburg Park, 1 o'clock next Tuesday, August 23. for the an- nual Lowell community picnic. KNOCKING AT OUR DOOR "IITHAT shall be done with the vast number of refugees from Germany, Austria, and other coun- tries. who are practically forced to leave their homes? They plteously look to other countries for an op- portunity to work and earn a liv- ing. There may be a million such people who knock at Uncle Sam's door and ask for help. Our people can't take them all In. In a time when they have 10.- 000,000 out of work. Neither can they turn a deaf ear to all this piti- ful distress. The world must some- how find a place for those who ate driven from their homes by perse- cution. The parable of the Good Samaritan, who bound up and cared for the wounds of the man left suffering by the roadside, still has meaning for our age. UNEMPLOYED MORALE COCIAL workers remark that af- ter some men have been out of work a long time, they become discouraged and lose their morale. They may get so downhearted that they haven't the nerve to make any real effort to find employment. Perhaps they make Inquiries here and there, but tlfelr search may be half hearted. People who want things done look for energy and hopefulness If they see an applicant looks dis- couraged, his lack of confidence communicates itself to those he meets. People who give that Im- pression do not attract the working world. It must be terribly discour- aging to many wives, to see their husbands thus losing hope and courage. If such men allow their personal appearance to deteriorate. If their clothes become seedy, their shoes go unshined, and their faces un- kempt, they convey an impression of failure that repels possible em- ployers. What can a workless man do to keep up his courage? One thing he can do Is to keep studying some- thing useful, which can be the means of landing him a Job. If he wants work in some business firm, he would better read the business news, and see what is going on In tne commercial world. If he can talk intelligently about goods and trade and prices, someone will be be Impressed with the feeling that he is capable of good work. Men and women reveal them- selves by their conversation. They tell by their words whether they are down and out, or gradually fitting themselves for better ser- vice. The out of work person who takes in many thoughts from the busy world Is In a position to talk well, and give out those thoughts, which will help win attention to his capacities.

Thomapple Pioneers Picnic Angust 25 Caledonia's Community picnic is sponsored by the Caledonia busi- ness men. Co-ops. and Thornapple Valley Pioneer association, which is the 54th year for the latter. The date for this year's event has been set for August 25. The picnic will open with a par- ade led by the Rockford American Legion Auxiliary Junior Drum and Bugle Corps to Lakeside Park, •where a ball game will be called at 10:30 a m. between the Caledonia Business Men and Farmers which promises to be very Interesting. The drum and bugle corps is composed of 25 boys and girls, sons and daughters of members of the Legion. They will compete in the Legion State convention at Battle Creek this year and it will be the first time girls have been allowed In state convention competition. Michigan's yodelling sweetheart. Miss Florence Bastlan, has been secured to help entertain at this picnic, and If you miss this event, you will miss a good entertainer. The Chicky Colored Giants of Grand Rapids will play Caledonia's crack ball team sometime in the afternoon. Prizes will be given for the old- est pioneer attending, for the largest family in attendance and the person coming the longest dis- tance and many other features. Not the least of all the attrac- tions will be the Master of Cere- monies, N. C. Thomas, who has the greatest reputation for enter- taining of any man in South Kent county and who promises to be on hand with his usual humor and plans to have an Indian woman, 112 years old. to assist him. The committee urges all to bring lunch baskets and enjoy a real picnic at Lakeside Park. 1000 Bushel Onion Club The 1938 enrollmemnt In the Keystone 1000 bushel onion club In Michigan has grown to 243 growers In 16 counties. Growers already are sounding out com- petitors on the condition of their crops. Not only arc gold, silver and bronze medals available for the winners but some grower is to be named Michigan's Onion King during the annual Farmers' Week program at Mlchlge.n State College beginning January 30, 1939. Spon- sorship of the onion contest In- cludes the Michigan Muck Farm- ers' association, the extension ser- vice and soils and crops depart- ments of Michigan State College and the agricultural department of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Along Main St. No wonder the Bark?dales have been lured to their native state for their vacation. It's watermelon time In Georgia. The 4-H boys and girls of Kent County will be with us next Wed- nesday and Thursday. Get out your [Welcome banners and extend your | glad hand. 1 St. Mary's church has recently received a fresh coat of paint on the exterior and the interior has been redecorated In blue and gold, the colors of St. Mary. It presents a very beautiful picture. W. E. Spencer of Segwun has a strawberry patch of which he Is Justly proud and the editor can testify that they are Just about he best ever. The shortcake which graced our table last Sunday con- tained berries measuring 4% Inches in circumference. The Ledger learns upon what is probably reliable authority that the real purpose of Frank Coons' visit to the Upper Peninsula Is to gather historical data regarding Paul Bunyan. one time famous charac- ter of the Michigan lumber woods. Frank has a real yen for such mat- ters. L. A. Weaver and R. D. Hahn, two of our local food dealers and both deserving of at least one day's vacation a year, drove to Detroit Tuesday to see the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox but they were doomed to disappointment as the game was rained off. Drat the luck! The grandstand at Recreation Park should be repainted. Why not raise the funds by staging a double header ball game between the Ixtwell Merchants and one of the other teams of this vicinity? Perhaps Mayor Arehart could be Induced to Issue a proclamation declaring a half holiday for the event. The high school senior band and orchestra will be entertained by a picnic at Lake Michigan tomorrow (Friday), it is announced by Di- rector Bruce Walter. The members will meet at the school house at 12:30 and they will drive to the Lake in school buses. All they have to take is a smile, everything fur- nished. Some residents of Hudson-st. (M-66) are wondering why the Common Council cannot obtain permission from the State highway department to pave this thorough- fare with tarvia the same as many other streets are being paved this summer. By the time the tarvia would be worn out the State High- way Department might be ready to pave. These are busy days at the Ed- win Fallas and Company factory where a force of 75 women have been busy snipping beans, about 4,000 pounds being processed daily. The beans are being handled for the Lake Odessa Canning Com- pany. Prop. L. W. Rutherford says that tomato canning Is now in full swing, putting up the largest pack In the factory's history. In renewing his subscription to the Ledger, Oren Frost, a Lowell boy registered as a Flying Cadet at Randolph Field. Texas, says: "This West Point of the Air' sure is a perfect place for anyone who really wants to learn to fly. Boys here from every state, a perfect climate, swell meals, the best of everything, even our own private club In San Antonio. Enjoy the Ledger more than ever!" One Showboat patron from Grand Rapids Is said to have carried away quite an impression of this year's performance. He occupied seat number 13 in the new stadium and when he arose at the con- clusion of the performance an Im- pression of the 13 had been trans- ferred to the seat of his white flannel trousers. The patron was the butt of a lot of kidding but took it good naturedly, saying. "The show was worth it." Charles Bancroft of Campau Lake, in town the other day, said he could remember when Grand Trunk freight engines were equip- ped with a bell on the pilot (cow catcher) which rang at each revolution of the locomotive's drive wheels. Drivers nearing a railroad crossing were able to de- termine whether a train was ap- proaching at a high or low rate of speed by the frequency of the clangs of the bell. It sometimes happens that news of national Importance has either a direct or an indirect connection with our own Main-st. A case In point Is that of Richard T. Frank- ensteen. expelled vice president of the United Automobile Workers and alleged to have been active in promoting Communism in this country, is the same person whom Governor Murphy appointed a few months ago to the Michigan Emergency Welfare Commission In place of C. H. Runclman. of Lowell. The Ledger makes a suggestion although It may not be worth a pickayune. Anyhow, here's the suggestion: Have a homecoming week each year, starting say, with the first Monday in August, each day being devoted to a program of Interesting activities of various sorts and winding up each evening with a Showboat performance. All local organizations could take part In such a program and many hundreds of additional visitors would be brought here to see the Showboat, renew acquaintances with old friends and neighbors and have a good time generally. The Board of Trade could at least consider the suggestion. Entries Pouring In For 4-H Club Fair New Buildings Will Overflow With Exhibits—Fine Program George F.

C. H. Runclman presided over the meeting. L J. O'NeU and A. C. Carton of the State Department of Agricul- ture were present and in his talk, Mr. Carton said: "The hope of the future lies In villages and rural areas where people think and are not the victims of mob psychol- ogy." He also stated that 'These new buildings represent a faith and hope in the future." H 4 * de- clared that In sending State aid to Kent County for prize money he always felt that It was going for a worthy cause as K. K. Vinlng, County Agricultural Agent, always used the funds to the best advan- tage. R. J. Baldwin from the Exten- sion Department of Michigan State College, said that the 4-H club work In Kent County ranked at the top In the State and gave cred- it for this achievement to Mr. Vlnlng and Miss Eleanor Dens- more. He stated that there are approximately 5.000 4-H clubs in the State, with about 47,000 mem- bers. There are nearly 1200 boys and girls In Kent County who be- long to the club and complete projects. In explaining the history of the building projects In Lowell, Mr. Vlnlng stated that he noped that these buildings are but a begin- ning for bigger and better 4-H club work and falrc in the future. Carl Hessler of Courtland-tp. brought greetings and best wishes from the Board of Supervisors and said that the Agricultural Ex- tension Committee of the Board was unanimous In its support of the projfect. Thos. Slater of Paris-tp., presi- dent of the 4-H Club Fair Associ- ation, ?tated that he was willing to work day and night in the in- terests of the boys and girls and agriculture. W. W.

Garden Lore Club The Garden Lore Club met on Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Charles Doyle. After a brief bus- iness session, the meeting was In charge of Mrs. Howard Bartlett, chairman for the day. The speaker. Prof. Paul R. Krone of Michigan State College discussed "Perennials and Pro- pagation" and In spite of rain twenty ladies were in attendance. Perennials are grown from seeds as well as being made from cut- tings. Many highly hybridized plants do not "come true" from seeds and must be propagated in some other way. Most perennials are sowed from May to August. A small cald-frame is advisable. These frames are of different sorts and are sometimes electrically heated. This assures uniform temperature during un certain weather in spring and fall. Peat-moss or leaf-mold and a small amount of coarse sand In the soil is advisable, and a smooth surface and good drainage is very necessary. Glass must be used on top with newspapers over it When seedlings are about an Inch high they should be transplanted to other flats. Many perennials may be sowed now and should bloom freely next year. A, very helpful discussion fol- lowed and the club adjourned to meet on August 30 at the home of Mrs. Robert Mill. The Garden clubs of Alto and Saranac will be entertained on this day and each lady is requested to wear a home- made corsage. Prizes will be given for the most artistic and appro- priate corsage and for the most ridiculous one. Garden Lore Club is invited to a luncheon on September 13 given by the Alto Garden Club. Mem- bers are urged to notify Mrs. C. A. Hall If they desire to attend this meeting. this vicinity came to grief here shortly after midnight last Sunday when they were taken into custody to face serious charges Involving the theft of a taxlcab from the streets in Grand Rapids, a sedan stolen in East Grand Rapids and belonging to a Hastings man, also an armed hold-up on US-16. east of Cascade. The young men involved are Claude Holland. 20; Anthony Doornbos, 16; and Blrdell Carr, 20. Doornbos was out on probation, having been previously arrested for breaking and entering. The trio had been under the surveil- lance of Deputy Frank Stephens and Marshall Fred Gramer for the past several days, as their actions partook of a rather suspicious na- ture. The three allegedly confessed to robbing Mr. and Mrs. Louis \^ea- therdee and son of Portland on US-16 early Sunday, of a small sum of money at the point of a gun. Also to the theft of a taxlcab stolen from Harry's Cab Co. of Grand Rapids which was later found abandoned near Kellogg's cider mill; a sedan stolen from East Grand Rapids belonging to a Hastings man and abandoned near the West Ward school house. Holland was arrested first. He was taken Into custody by Sheriff Hugh Blacklock and Undersherlff Jannenga when he drove Into Low- ell In a car loaned to him by Mrs. Margaret Mayrand of Lowell. They took him to the Jail In the City Hall. Meanwhile, according to officers, Carr and Doornbos drove away In the Mayrand car which Holland had been driving. They only got around the block, however, before they were apprehended and arrest- ed by Deputy Stephens assisted by night watch Gene Carr, Undersher- lff Jannenga and State Troopers Richard Nlcolen and Leroy Hunt. Holland and Carr pleaded guil- ty to armed robbery in Circuit Court Tuesday and Doornbos de- manded a hearing which was set for August 25.

Brief Paragraphs of News and Informution on u Variety of Topics With the forest fire season more thin half over, the acreage burned over thus far this season is still less than one third of last year's record low of approximately 14.000 acres. The Social Security Board is tracing reports of a cross-check being kept In some States be- tween party registration lists and the recipients of old age assist- ance payments. Sudden death on the streets and highways claimed 3,670 fewer peo- ple during the first half of 1938 than In the same period of 1937. This decline of twenty-two per cent for the six-months' period shows that cooperative efforts for safety arc getting icsults. A new "check list" of birds of Michigan made by Dr. Josselyn Van Tyne, of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, shows 328 varieties of birds In this state. Of these 199 are known to nest within the borders of Mich- igan. New Dealers privately are call- ing the Committee for Industrial Organization "politically Inept" for blacklisting some Southern and Mid-Western candidates for re- election to Congress. They express the opinion that CIO black mark helps more than hurts In those sections. This year's game law digest pub- lished annually by the department of conservation for distribution to hunters will be printed In a new style. Last year the digest was a 20-page booklet. This year It will be a folder, similar to the state's fishing law digest, with six panels or 12 pages. One million copies arc being printed. Officials at the Department of State, always reluctant to talk about the negotiations for a re- ciprocal trade treaty with the Biitii-h, appear more touchy than usual when asked about the sub- ject nowadays. Tnc Impression is given that much more Is going on than announced, possibly some- thing to do with war debts John P. Frey of the American Federation of Labor charged Sat- urday that John L Lewis' rival labor organization was honey- combed with members of the Com- munist party, whose purpose he said was revolution. Frey said: "It's time the public knew the truth about efforts of the Com- munist party in the United States to carry out the purpose of Moscow and the third international, which purpose is revolution." State Highway Commissioner Murray D. VanWagoner indicated this week that stop signs on Mich- igan roads will be greatly enlarged as a new safety move. The Indica- tion came in the way of an an- nouncement of results of tests which showed that stop violations were cut from 50 to 75 per cent by Increasing the size of signs to 36 Inches. 'These tests are of the ut- most Importance." the commis- sioner said, "in view of the fact that state police records show that 25 per cent of all fatal accidents on trunkline highways the last three years were right-angle col- lisions at intersections." TO PRESENT AMATEUR SHOW IN NOVEMBER Arrangements were completed this week by the American Legion, Chas. W. Clark Post, with the Prai- rie Farmer WLS of Chicago for the presentation of their Community Talent Barn Dance Program In this community.

The primaries to be held In this state for the nomination of candi- dates for governor, lieutenant gov- ernor, members of congress, sena- tors and representatives In the state legislature and full county tickets will be held on Tuesday, September 13. There will naturally be a great deal of Interest in these primaries. Everyone who has the privilege should cast his vote at the primaries. There has been a change in the law so that It Is no longer necessary for a voter to de- clare his political preference when he registers. He can mark such party primary ballot as he pleases. Even- voter should make sure that his name Is registered. If he has previously voted In the ward or township regularly at each elec- tion. and has not moved since the preceding election. It will not be necessary* for that voter to regis- ter again. But if he has failed to vote for two years, his name would automatically be dropped from the list of voters. If he has moved from one voting precinct to another, or from one county to an- other, or into the state of Mich- igan from another state, then it will be necessary for the voter to re-register. In the townships anyone who finds It necessary to register will have to see the township clerk, and give his name to that official. There will also be special registra- tion days in the townships on Wednesday, August 24, and on Sat- urday, September 3, when the township clerk must be In his office for the purpose of receiving the names of those who desire to register. No township voter can register for the primary after Sep- tember 3. If a person were lawfully regis- tered say three years ago. in township and had not moved out of the township, but had failed to vote at the preceding two general elections, then that person's name would be dropped from the roll be- cause of his failure to vote. That is mandatory, required by state law. In that event even if the per- son had not moved from one township to another he would be required to re-register because of his failure to vote. If a person has moved from one township to an- other; or if the township has two or more voting precincts and he has moved from one of them Into the other In the same township: or moved from some other township or city, or state Into the present locality; then he must register. It is hoped every voter will plan to be at the polls on primary day, Tuesday, Sept. 13. and express his preference for candidates for office who will be selected at the pri marles. Auditor-General George T. Gun- dry recently complied for the tax- paying public, a list of pertinent facts regarding Michigan property that is delinquent for taxes and has been placed on the 10-year plan. Mr. Gundry pointed oat that the fourth installment of 1932 and prior years and the second install- ment of 1933. '34 and '35 must be paid prior to September 1st., of this year In order to avoid extra penalty and tax sale inasmuch as the law provides that property up- on which current installments are not paid are to be offered for sale In May of 1939. for the unpaid bal- ance of the installment. Site of what was once a thriving lumber town—Loeta—Is the scene of intensive preparations for tree planting this fall. A crew of 30 en- rollees from the CCC camp at Houghton Lake are working in the vicinity of the Muskegon river get- ting the ground ready for the thousands of young trees which will be planted this fall as part of the state's annual reforestation program. About nine million trees were put In last spring and It Is hoped that the planting period this autumn will be of a long enough duration to permit the planting of about 10 million trees. Practically all of the area around Loeta was lumbered off and has since grown to scrub oak and some Jackplne. Farming was tried on a small scale after the lumbering era but for the most proved unprofitable. Does anyone have any Idea of the probable extent and cost of the old age assistance program ir Michigan? We were told the other day that no new applications have been considered for a year now, due no doubt to the present short- age of state relief cash and the extra heavy load resulting from the deduction of the age limit from 70 to 65 years. All of us favor sensible legislation of this type but should we keep on deceiving these folks when there are already two definite reasons for the near break- down of the program? Isn't It about time that this obligation be worked out on a sound fiscal basis rather than to continue to deceive these people with political prom- ises that are silly If they were not so tragic to the hopes and happi- ness of the persons Involved? It Is time for the public to know the exact status of this problem which It has become. After all the whole thing is a matter of honor and ap- plicants should not be led to be- lieve that a pension is on the way when the application Is exactly where It was a year ago—In the files. This is not a complaint ex- cept as to policy. If it Is a tem- K rary shortage of cash—most :ely the reason—the delay should be explained to the applicant. The run-around reply Is cruel In addi- tion to being untruthful and be- neath the dignity of a great state. —Charlotte Republican-Tribune. Barber: "How do you like this soap?" "It tasted fine. You must have lunch with me some day?"

L E D G E R E N T R I E S Bolnjr a Oolleciion of Various
Topic* of Local and General Interest
T H E SMALL BUSINESS MEN r p H E G E N E R A L counsel of the
National Small Business Men's aasoclation, said In a recent ad-dress that the small business man and woman will be the salvation of of the American people.
These people who conduct the smaller enterprises are so close to the average run of people, that they command a tremendous amount of Influence, and are In a position to save the country from Ite troubles.
There are probably several mil-lion men and women of this type In the United States. Up to a recent date they have had little means for exercising Influence. If their pow-er could be brought to bear on legislation and public opinion. It could save the country f rom many folllei.
It takes brains, experience, and Judgment to conduct even what Is called a small business. That kind of experience telle one how the business of government should be conducted. People of that type should be listened to. The Ideas tha t enable them to handle their own enterprises can save the country f rom disaster.
BUYING AT HOME
TS T H E F E E L I N G that people should buy goods In their home
town just a mere sentiment, or are there positive advantages in it?
There is a ctrong sentimental reason for buying a t home. If you don't feel Interested enough In your home town to back It up with your business patronage, you are not deeply rooted enough In your home town to get all It has to give you. The advantages of buying a t home a re also very practical. When you buy In your home stores, you get the advantage of business done on a low scale of costs. I t does not cost so much to do busi-ness in a town like Lowell as In big places, which Is shown in our lower scale of prices. When you buy In your home town, every effor t Is made to please ypu, since the merchan t s know they must satisfy their home folks.
SELLING JOBS
AT ANY young people are looking for chances to sell goods In
the stores of Lowell and elsewhere. They ask what the qualifications are for such selling.
Probably the two most impor-t an t quallficaftbns a re these. First , a knowledge of wha t the goods are. Trying to sell something when you don't know anything part icular about it, is a hard proposition. The customer soon discovers you can' t give him much help, and Is tempted to go elsewhere. Second, the ability to talk well and give the facts about the goods, Is very impor t an t Knowledge of the goods doesn't help much, if you can' t express that knowledge in Intelligent talk.
Where are the wise men who shall tell a s how to handle the problem of the production of ex-cess food, while so many people lack the nutrition they need?

Heaps of Fun On Program For Community Picnic
Town and Rural Folks Invited
Empty stores, empty streets, em-pty homes—all the appearance* of a Western "ghest" town. That is what Lowell will look like to the strangers who pass through next Tuesday, August 23. for everyone for miles around will be enjoying themselves at the annual Lowell community picnic sponsored by the Board of Trade.
Fallasburg P a r k will be teeming with folks f rom Lowell community and surrounding villages, having a great time In the numerous sports events and all kinds of con-tests. I t is expected nearly every-one will be there by 1:00 o'clock p. m.
With the aid of his committee-men, Theron Richmond will serve a delicious picnic lunch consisting of baked ham sandwiches, pota-to salad, beans and beverages.
The Lowell Board of Trade re-quests tha t all merchants close their place of business for the af-ternoon and Join in the fun of the annual picnic. Those not having cars or means of transportation will meet at the City Hall at 1:00 from which point transportation will be provided by trucks furnish-ed by C. H. Runclman.
There will also be a big dance In the evening In the shelter house with Royden Warner 's orchestra furnishing the music.
Remember, we want to see everyone, and tha t means you, a t Fallasburg Pa rk , 1 o'clock next Tuesday, August 23. for the an-nual Lowell community picnic.
KNOCKING AT OUR DOOR
"IITHAT shall be done with the vast number of refugees f rom
Germany, Austria, and other coun-tries. who are practically forced to leave their homes? They plteously look to other countries for an op-portunity to work and earn a liv-ing. There may be a million such people who knock at Uncle Sam's door and ask for help.
Our people can' t take them all In. In a t ime when they have 10.-000,000 out of work. Neither can they tu rn a deaf ear to all th is piti-ful distress. The world must some-how find a place for those who a te driven f rom their homes by perse-cution. The parable of the Good Samari tan, who bound up and cared for the wounds of the man left suffer ing by the roadside, still has meaning for our age.
UNEMPLOYED MORALE
C O C I A L workers remark tha t af-ter some men have been out of
work a long time, they become discouraged and lose their morale. They may get so downhearted tha t they haven' t the nerve to make any real e f for t to f ind employment. Pe rhaps they make Inquiries here and there, but tlfelr search may be half hearted.
People who want things done look for energy and hopefulness If they see an applicant looks dis-couraged, his lack of confidence communicates itself to those he meets. People who give t h a t Im-pression do not a t t rac t the working world. I t must be terribly discour-aging to many wives, to see their husbands thus losing hope and courage.
If such men allow their personal appearance to deteriorate. If their clothes become seedy, their shoes go unshined, and their faces un-kempt, they convey an impression of fai lure that repels possible em-ployers.
W h a t can a workless man do to keep up his courage? One thing he can do Is to keep studying some-thing useful, which can be the means of landing him a Job. If he wan t s work in some business firm, he would better read the business news, and see what is going on In tne commercial world. If he can talk intelligently about goods and t rade and prices, someone will be be Impressed with the feeling that he is capable of good work.
Men and women reveal them-selves by their conversation. They tell by their words whether they a re down and out, or gradually f i t t ing themselves for bet ter ser-vice. The out of work person who takes in many thoughts f r o m the busy world Is In a position to talk well, and give out those thoughts, which will help win attention to his capacities.

1000 Bushel Onion Club
The 1938 enrollmemnt In the Keystone 1000 bushel onion club In Michigan has grown to 243 growers In 16 counties. Growers already are sounding out com-petitors on the condition of their crops. Not only arc gold, silver and bronze medals available for the winners but some grower is to be named Michigan's Onion King during the annual Farmers ' Week program a t Mlchlge.n State College beginning January 30, 1939. Spon-sorship of the onion contest In-cludes the Michigan Muck Fa rm-ers' association, the extension ser-vice and soils and crops depart-ments of Michigan State College and the agricultural depar tment of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

1 St. Mary's church has recently received a fresh coat of paint on the exterior and the interior has been redecorated In blue and gold, the colors of St. Mary. It presents a very beautiful picture.
W. E. Spencer of Segwun has a s trawberry patch of which he Is Justly proud and the editor can test i fy that they are Just about he best ever. The shortcake which graced our table last Sunday con-tained berries measuring 4% Inches in circumference.
The Ledger learns upon what is probably reliable authority that the real purpose of F rank Coons' visit to the Upper Peninsula Is to gather historical data regarding Paul Bunyan. one time famous charac-ter of the Michigan lumber woods. F r a n k has a real yen for such mat-ters.
L. A. Weaver and R. D. Hahn, two of our local food dealers and both deserving of at least one day's vacation a year, drove to Detroit Tuesday to see the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox but they were doomed to disappointment as the game was rained off. Dra t the luck!
The grandstand at Recreation P a r k should be repainted. Why not raise the funds by staging a double header ball game between the Ixtwell Merchants and one of the other teams of this vicinity? Perhaps Mayor Arehart could be Induced to Issue a proclamation declaring a half holiday for the event.
The high school senior band and orchestra will be entertained by a picnic at Lake Michigan tomorrow (Friday), it is announced by Di-rector Bruce Walter. The members will meet at the school house a t 12:30 and they will drive to the Lake in school buses. All they have to take is a smile, everything fu r -nished.
Some residents of Hudson-st. (M-66) are wondering why the Common Council cannot obtain permission f rom the State highway department to pave this thorough-fare with ta rv ia the same as many other streets a re being paved this summer. By the time the tarvia would be worn out the State High-way Department might be ready to pave.
These are busy days at the Ed-win Fallas and Company factory where a force of 75 women have been busy snipping beans, about 4,000 pounds being processed daily. The beans a re being handled for the Lake Odessa Canning Com-pany. Prop. L. W. Rutherford says that tomato canning Is now in full swing, putt ing up the largest pack In the factory's history.
In renewing his subscription to the Ledger, Oren Frost, a Lowell boy registered as a Flying Cadet at Randolph Field. Texas, says: "This W e s t Point of the Air' sure is a perfect place for anyone who really wants to learn to fly. Boys here from every state, a perfect climate, swell meals, the best of everything, even our own private club In San Antonio. Enjoy the Ledger more than ever!"
One Showboat patron f rom Grand Rapids Is said to have carried away quite an impression of this year's performance. He occupied seat number 13 in the new stadium and when he arose at the con-clusion of the performance an Im-pression of the 13 had been trans-ferred to the seat of his white flannel trousers. The patron was the butt of a lot of kidding but took it good naturedly, saying. "The show was worth it."
Charles Bancrof t of Campau Lake, in town the other day, said he could remember when Grand Trunk freight engines were equip-ped with a bell on the pilot (cow catcher) which rang at each revolution of the locomotive's drive wheels. Drivers nearing a railroad crossing were able to de-termine whether a t rain was ap-proaching at a high or low rate of speed by the frequency of the clangs of the bell.
It sometimes happens that news of national Importance has either a direct or an indirect connection with our own Main-st. A case In point Is tha t of Richard T. Frank-ensteen. expelled vice president of the United Automobile Workers and alleged to have been active in promoting Communism in this country, is the same person whom Governor Murphy appointed a few months ago to the Michigan Emergency Welfare Commission In place of C. H. Runc lman . of Lowell.
The Ledger makes a suggestion although It may not be worth a pickayune. Anyhow, here's the suggestion: Have a homecoming week each year, s tar t ing say, with the first Monday in August, each day being devoted to a program of Interesting activities of various sorts and winding up each evening with a Showboat performance. All local organizations could take part In such a program and many hundreds of additional visitors would be brought here to see the Showboat, renew acquaintances with old friends and neighbors and have a good time generally. The Board of Trade could at least consider the suggestion.

Garden Lore Club
The Garden Lore Club met on Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Charles Doyle. After a brief bus-iness session, the meeting was In charge of Mrs. Howard Bartlett , chairman for the day.
The speaker. Prof . Paul R. Krone of Michigan State College discussed "Perennials and Pro-pagation" and In spite of rain twenty ladies were in attendance. Perennials are grown from seeds as well as being made from cut-tings. Many highly hybridized plants do not "come true" f rom seeds and must be propagated in some other way.
Most perennials are sowed f rom May to August. A small cald-frame is advisable. These f rames a re of different sorts and are sometimes electrically heated. This assures uniform temperature during un certain weather in spring and fall. Peat-moss or leaf-mold and a small amount of coarse sand In the soil is advisable, and a smooth surface and good drainage is very necessary. Glass must be used on top with newspapers over it When seedlings are about an Inch high they should be transplanted to other flats. Many perennials may be sowed now and should bloom freely next year .
A, very helpful discussion fol-lowed and the club adjourned to meet on August 30 at the home of Mrs. Robert Mill. The Garden clubs of Alto and Saranac will be entertained on th is day and each lady is requested to wear a home-made corsage. Prizes will be given for the most art ist ic and appro-priate corsage and for the most ridiculous one.
Garden Lore Club is invited to a luncheon on September 13 given by the Alto Garden Club. Mem-bers are urged to notify Mrs. C. A. Hall If they desire to at tend this meeting.
this vicinity came to grief here shortly a f te r midnight last Sunday when they were taken into custody to face serious charges Involving the theft of a taxlcab from the streets in Grand Rapids, a sedan stolen in Eas t Grand Rapids and belonging to a Hastings man, also an armed hold-up on US-16. east of Cascade.
The young men involved are Claude Holland. 20; Anthony Doornbos, 16; and Blrdell Carr, 20. Doornbos was out on probation, having been previously arrested for breaking and entering. The trio had been under the surveil-lance of Deputy F rank Stephens and Marshall Fred Gramer for the past several days, as their actions partook of a rather suspicious na-ture.
The three allegedly confessed to robbing Mr. and Mrs. Louis \^ea-therdee and son of Portland on US-16 early Sunday, of a small sum of money at the point of a gun. Also to the thef t of a taxlcab stolen from Harry ' s Cab Co. of Grand Rapids which was later found abandoned near Kellogg's cider mill; a sedan stolen from East Grand Rapids belonging to a Hastings man and abandoned near the West Ward school house.
Holland was arrested first. He was taken Into custody by Sheriff Hugh Blacklock and Undersherlff Jannenga when he drove Into Low-ell In a car loaned to him by Mrs. Margaret Mayrand of Lowell. They took him to the Jail In the City Hall.
Meanwhile, according to officers, Carr and Doornbos drove away In the Mayrand car which Holland had been driving. They only got around the block, however, before they were apprehended and arrest-ed by Deputy Stephens assisted by night watch Gene Carr, Undersher-lff Jannenga and State Troopers Richard Nlcolen and Leroy Hunt.
Holland and Carr pleaded guil-ty to armed robbery in Circuit Court Tuesday and Doornbos de-manded a hearing which was set for August 25.
The places In Kent County where potato producers may cast their ballots are as follows:

Any potato producer who, dur-ing the period July 1. 1937, to July 1. 1938, has engaged In the produc-tion of Irish potatoes for market is eligible to vote.

Are You Registered So You Can Vote At the Primary September 13?
If Not You Should See to It Soon—Voters in
Townships and City Should See the Clerks
Some 300 challenges of the man-ner In which sections of the So-cial Security Act are being ad-ministered are en route to the Supreme Court for action. The high Court already has passed on the broad questions of constitu-tionality.
The primaries to be held In this state for the nomination of candi-dates for governor, lieutenant gov-ernor, members of congress, sena-tors and representatives In the state legislature and full county tickets will be held on Tuesday, September 13. There will naturally be a great deal of Interest in these primaries. Everyone who has the privilege should cast his vote at the primaries. There has been a change in the law so that It Is no longer necessary for a voter to de-clare his political preference when he registers. He can mark such party primary ballot as he pleases.
Even- voter should make sure that his name Is registered. If he has previously voted In the ward or township regularly at each elec-tion. and has not moved since the preceding election. It will not be necessary* for that voter to regis-ter again. But if he has failed to vote for two years, his name would automatically be dropped from the list of voters. If he has moved f rom one voting precinct to another, or f rom one county to an-other, or into the state of Mich-igan f rom another state, then it will be necessary for the voter to re-register.
In the townships anyone who finds It necessary to register will have to see the township clerk, and give his name to that official.
There will also be special registra-tion days in the townships on Wednesday, August 24, and on Sat-urday, September 3, when the township clerk must be In his office for the purpose of receiving the names of those who desire to register. No township voter can register fo r the primary a f te r Sep-tember 3.
If a person were lawfully regis-tered say three years ago. in township and had not moved out of the township, but had failed to vote at the preceding two general elections, then that person's name would be dropped f rom the roll be-cause of his failure to vote. That is mandatory, required by state law. In that event even if the per-son had not moved f rom one township to another he would be required to re-register because of his failure to vote. If a person has moved f rom one township to an-other; or if the township has two or more voting precincts and he has moved f rom one of them Into the other In the same township: or moved f rom some other township or city, or state Into the present locality; then he must register.
It is hoped every voter will plan to be at the polls on primary day, Tuesday, Sept. 13. and express his preference for candidates for office who will be selected at the pri marles.
Auditor-General George T. Gun-dry recently complied for the tax-paying public, a list of pertinent facts regarding Michigan property that is delinquent for taxes and has been placed on the 10-year plan. Mr. Gundry pointed oat that the fourth installment of 1932 and prior years and the second install-ment of 1933. '34 and '35 must be paid prior to September 1st., of this year In order to avoid extra penalty and tax sale inasmuch as the law provides that property up-on which current installments are not paid are to be offered for sale In May of 1939. for the unpaid bal-ance of the installment.
Site of what was once a thriving lumber town—Loeta—Is the scene of intensive preparations for tree planting th is fall. A crew of 30 en-rollees f rom the CCC camp at Houghton Lake are working in the vicinity of the Muskegon river get-ting the ground ready for the thousands of young trees which will be planted this fall as part of the state 's annual reforestation program. About nine million trees were put In last spring and It Is hoped that the planting period this autumn will be of a long enough duration to permit the planting of about 10 million trees. Practically all of the area around Loeta was lumbered off and has since grown to scrub oak and some Jackplne. Farming was tried on a small scale af ter the lumbering era but for the most proved unprofitable.
Does anyone have any Idea of the probable extent and cost of the old age assistance program i r Michigan? We were told the other day that no new applications have been considered for a year now, due no doubt to the present short-age of state relief cash and the extra heavy load resulting f rom the deduction of the age limit f rom 70 to 65 years. All of us favor sensible legislation of this type but should we keep on deceiving these folks when there are already two definite reasons for the near break-down of the program? Isn't It about t ime that this obligation be worked out on a sound fiscal basis rather than to continue to deceive these people with political prom-ises that are silly If they were not so tragic to the hopes and happi-ness of the persons Involved? It Is time for the public to know the exact s tatus of this problem which It has become. After all the whole thing is a mat ter of honor and ap-plicants should not be led to be-lieve that a pension is on the way when the application Is exactly where It was a year ago—In the files. This is not a complaint ex-cept as to policy. If it Is a tem-
Krary shortage of cash—most :ely the reason—the delay should
be explained to the applicant. The run-around reply Is cruel In addi-tion to being unt ru thful and be-neath the dignity of a great state.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
As the result of the studies of Dr. L. L. Lumfden of the U. S. Public Health Service, medical men may be forced to change radically thlr long-held Ideas rela-tive to the spread of Infantile paralysis.
It has been assumed that dis-semination of the virus occurred through direct contact. Working In Kentucky, Dr. Lumfden was un-able to find evidence for this be-lief. On the contrary, noting that a majority of cases were those of children living In poverty and un-der unsanitary conditions, he was led to suspect that house flies, stable files, mosquitoes and rod-ents might serve to carry the virus from infected areas or persons to) other individuals.
The investigator found it sig-nificant that a large number of stricken children lived on or near premises where cattle were pas-tured. stabled, herded or freight-ed. In two local outbreaks. In Louisville and In Warren county, victims of the disease had been obtaining their milk from a com-mon source. The milk, of course, was unpasteurized.
The youngest members of the family, and especially those show-ing evidence of undernourishment, seemed most susceptible to the dis-ease. The physically weak and those subject to colds. ?ore throat and teeth defccts were also ready victims.
Considerable force Is lent to Dr. Lumfden's theory of disease-transmission because of the fact that the virus may be recovered from the stools of patients. Un-sanitary disposal of sewage, an unprotected milk and water sup-ply and failure to prevent con-tamination of food — especially that given to young, undernour-ished or sickly children — might easily precipitate an epidemic.
Of 118 homes affected In the Kentucky outbreak, 74 were lo-cated in densely populated see-tions and most of them lacked any kind of door or window screening. In 52 cases, the home was located near horse or cow stables con-tinually Infested with files.
The usual infantile paralysis "season" extends from the middle of August to fall. It is a season when children spend many hours outdoors, presumably acquiring a store of ruddy health. Therefore, even conscientious parents tend to relax their vigilance. But the sum-mer season. It should be remem-bered. coincides with the fly sea-son and. if Dr. Lumfden Is correct in his assumptions, the easy trans-mission of the Infantile paralysis virus is facilitated by these car-riers.
lovely old glass and scattered It through the house with the result that she achieved the atmosphere she wanted. Some old open salts made clever ash trays for the din-ing table. Footed salts were used for cigarettes. Celery holders are stunning used In pairs on the liv-ing room mantel. Covered butter dishes In many patterns are de-lightful to use for powder boxes on a dressing table.
When you take pressed glass out of the dining room and away from Its original uses choose pat-terns such as hobnail, saw-tooth, swirl or thumb-print. An ensemble In hobnail consisting of covered sugar bowl, covered butter dish, open salt, spoon holder and tray is attractive In a guest room. Use the sugar bowl for individual powder puffs, the butter dish for powder, the spoon holder for used puffs, the tray for brush and comb and the salt for an ash tray. In clear glass, and In dark blue this pattern lends itself to almost any color scheme. Covered Jam Jars, sugar bowls and compotes make stunning candy Jads and often add some color on the living room table where it's needed most.
Mosquito bites can be relieved from Itching by the simple remedy of rubbing the bite with wet soap when other means are not at hand. Sponging with aromatic spirits of ammonia Is soothing, too. And don't forget the efficacy of baking soda In warm water. Bites, sun-burn. swollen and aching feet and even bee stings are alleviated If bathed with a soda solution.

So many people have fallen Into a careless habit with their Iett<?r writing that it Is like taking a spring tonic to hear from one who has made a study of how to pro-duce the right effects. Mrs. Jessie Wily Volls. who halls from Kansas, suggests that you write as you talk, and from the heart, not Just about surface things. Never tell your troubles, she advises, but keep In mind the sort of thing the recipient will want to hear. Think up nice things to share. It was Mrs. Volls" gift for letter writing and her attention to her own ad-vice that landed her a Job with a national magazine.
Women have Invaded the field of photography with great success] and their number Is steadily In-creasing. There Is Mrs. Helen Saunders who Is one of the two women Fellows of the Royal Photo-graphic Society of Britain and is Instructor In creative analysis In her chosen ar t at the New York Institute of Photography. I t was an easy step for her to go from making photographs as an aid to her study of painting, to taking them, because she liked doing It and also wanted to exhibit some of her camera work in the photo-graphic salons. Gradually she en-tered the professional field, in which she Is well known now.

Her house Is really a very lovely home, handsomeley furnished with ex-clusive furnishings and always im-maculate. But it did lack a cer-tain homlness. However, this friend has a strong feeling for old things and for years has collected early American pressed g l a s s which she kept stored away behind the paneled cupboards of the din-ing room.

THERE is a small organ located in the back of the head which is
responsible for our sense of balance. When this organ becomes diseased or disturbed It can no longer con-tribute balance to the brain and we are conscious of being dizzy. Dur-ing the dizzy spell the eyes cannot respond to the command of the brain. One focuses on one object and the second on another at the same time, causing the brain to see two pictures. The result is the confusion which we call dizziness.

Ledger Entries "INFLUENCING" THE PRESS
A SENATE investigating com-mittee has 'uncovered evidence
that a large corporation made vi-gorous efforts to induce certain newspapers to take an editorial at-titude friendly to the corporation's ir terests. That is pointed to by radicals a s a scandalous state of affairs.
No evidence was produced that the efforts to win editorial support were successful, or that there was anything contrary to the public in-terest in the objectives of the cor-poration. ^
What many earnest reformers overlook is that alongside the right of the press to express its views on any subject without restraint there exists the equal right of any-body, Individual or corporation, to try to bring editors around to a particular point of view. The final decision Is up to the Individual Judgment of each particular editor or publisher. That Is the essence of the freedom of the press.
Every editor has to be constantly on guard against those. In Govern-ment or out of it, who t ry to "use" his paper for their own ends. For every such effort by private inter-ests there are hundreds made dally-by the Government's huge staff of press-agents and propagandists.
For every newspaper which suc-cumbs to efforts to influence Its editorial opinion, there are prob-ably scores of men In public office who betray their t rusts by selling official favors. A New York State Senator, highly regarded as an able legislator and a man of character, committed suicide the other day rather than face the charges a-galnst him of taking money in large amounts In payment for his influence in obtaining Jobs and promotions for people in public office. A grand Jury indicted him on seventeen counts.
A real Investigation Into such practices. If It were possible, would disclose thousands in Federal, state and municipal positions of trust who use the power of their offices to feather their own nests. They get away with It because the voting public pays no attention to publlr affairs between elections.
HOME TOWN THOUGHTS
If a man is enthusiastic over any-thing, he wants to talk about it. The fact that a store talks about Its goods through advertising, shows Its enthusiastic belief that the goods are all right and fine. Such enthusiasm wins the con-fidence of the public.
If you meet one of your home town people In some distant city, you greet him with enthusiasm. That Is a sign that you feel at heart that your home town pro-duces the best folks on earth.
People ask why some towns grow faster than others. Usually the rea-son Is that the growing towns have energetic people In them, who are constantly working for s u c h growth and for more advantages.

His work began with the Palmer Construction Co. as foreman ot the age of 24 ond he spent several years with this company, later go-ing with the Dean Construction Co. of Milwaukee, Wis., installing gas mains in Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor, and was with the Kent County Road Commission as fore-man.
The past four years, he has been in charge of Kent County Drain work and recently has had charge of some eight hundred men In drain work In the county. These experiences and training in life f i t Mr. Seeley, no doubt fully as well as any young man In Kent county, for the Job.
Mr. Seeley is not slack, but a man who wants to be on the Job on time and do the work the very best possible to make a permanent Job. From his boyhood days and young manhood spent in the farm-fhg communities of the county, he knows the value of drains and something of the thousands of dol-lars It hos cost the farmers of Kent county for drains and foels, if elected drain commissioner, he con render the best service pos-sible; not counting time on the Job, but giving his all to the work entrusted to him.
Mr. Seeley has been married fourteen years and is proud of three daughters who are now in school and the family have been residents In Cascade township the past four years.
Luxury spending is expanding.

ATLANTA, G a . . . . Oh, dear, what shall I wear this morning? seems to be the eternally feminine ques-tion being asked by Daisy Dach-shund as she looks over her ward-robe. The "gowns," from the Rue de La Canine where the pooch can be fitted for overcoat, sweaters boots or—don't faint—pyjamas
R e m e m b e r i n g G o o d
F WE are to go forward, fitted for the work before us, should we not be properly prepared?
Instead of Indulging the human tendency to look back sorrowfully or to think regretfully of the past, we must learn to think scientifi-cally, keeping our consclouBncsn ever true to God, good.
Meditation upon what In the past was good, reminds us that we should render an account of our present stewardship. Should we not recognlie the many blessings we all too often tako for granted? Since, as Whlttler has said,
"That all of good the past hath had
Remains to make our own time glad,"
let us gladden eacu day by taking stock of "all of good the past hath had."
Allowing only the good to re-main In our thought Is a happy service, a grateful prayer of praise. Keeping In our hearts thoughts of the unchanging good-ness and omnipotence of God quiets fear and brings new cour-age. joy, and peace fnto dally ex-perience. . . .
Knowing the allness of God. good, brings peace, and peace brings joy, and Joy proves the presence of good. Remembering God's gift to mankind In the rev-elation of the Christ, and remem-bering the message of "on earth peace, good will toward men" brings about a purification of heart! . . .
Mary Baker Eddy gleaned some-thing of good from every one of her experiences. Out of her rich triumphs came her admonition (The First Church of Christ, Sci-entist, and Miscellany, pp. 149. 150), "Remember, thou canst be brought into no condition, be It ever so severe, where Love has not been before thee and where Its tender lesson is not awaiting thee." The way to turn from sad scenes in memory's lane need not be learned through hard lessons. Only when we cling to grief through self-pity do we miss Love's "tender lesson." Challeng-ing every condition with the oues-
tion, "What is Love s 'tender les-son'?" will tucn our struggling Into the giving of thanks to God.
The measure of our progress should be estimated, not by bow much we know of Truth, but by how well we live and love it day by day, and by how much we ex-press the spirit of good will to-ward others. A perfect rule for gracious and happy living is to remember God, good, ail the time.
All thoughts that would keep out of our hearts love for God and man must be recognized as ene-mies to health, happiness, and holinesB. Isaiah termed such In-sidious errors "other lords." Re-membering good, remembering thlit God is with us, brings proof in our day also that those "other lords . . . are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou vis-ited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish" (Isaiah ?6;13, 14). How happily we go forward when "all their memory" has perished!
What is It, a f t e r all, that makes our days seem unhappy, with spir-itual happiness always within our reach? Is it not that God has been left out of our thoughts, and that love has been crowded out of our hearts? The need of the hour is not that great happiness be brought into our day, but ra-ther that the happiness which is spiritual be recognized, claimed, and shared. Someone has said that there are some in this world who have the gift of finding joy everywhere, and of leaving it be-hind them when they go. This is the touchstone of selfless happi-ness.
The a r t of t rue living is to dis-cern and to embrace the good ever within reach. In order that we may discern and embrace the good within reach we must be mentally ready to accept i t Being ready mentally prevents us from griev-ing over the past or from hesitat-ing on the threshold of tomor-row. To "give thanks at the re-membrance of his holiness" is to eliminate fea^. sorrow, lack, en-mity; is to make "all their mem-ory to perish." "Remembrance of his holiness"—remembering God —is not this identifying ourselveF with universal good?—The Chrit-fion Science Monitor.

Of P r e s i d e n t W a s h i n p - l o n
President Washington practically created the cabinet system, which was not provided for in the Con-stitution, although that document made provision for the division of administrative duties into various departments, the heads of which should be required to make reports of the activities of their deport-ments to the chief executive, notes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The administrative branches orig-inally were three—the departments of state, treasury and war. Early In his presidency. Washington In-stituted an advisory council of the three department heads. This was the beginning of the cabinet meet-ings, which have been held ever since.
An officer called the attorney gen-eral was a part of the government from the beginning, but he was originally an adjunct of the judi-ciary. to be prosecutor for the na-tional government and counsel to the President and department heads on matters of law. Washington soon added the attorney general 'to his advisory council, but It was not un-til 1870 that this officer was made a cabinet member and the head of the department of Justice.
In 1798, incidental to preparations for war with France, the Navy de-partment was created separate from the war department. The post-master general did not become a cabinet membei and head of a sep-arate department until 1829.
In 1849, a number of offices and bureaus previously distributed among the other divisions were combined into the department of the interior. The department of ag-riculture was set up in 1869. having existed previously as a subordinate branch of the interior department. In 1903 a department of commerce and labor was created, and in 1913, it was divided Into two departments.

A n i m a l s T h a t ' A c t D e a d ' There are actors In the animal
world. What would you think of a creature that could act so well that It allowed itself to be vigorously beaten without showing the least sign of life?
There have been actual cases re-corded of the American opossum lying low while this was done to him, and it is from the habit of this little animal that we get the term "playing 'possum" which is used when anybody keeps specially quiet and "says nuffin'," notes a writer in London Answers Maga-zine.
Many of the lizards sham death to get out of harm's way, and toads, too, not being endowed by nature for a quick getaway, deflate them-selves and assume unnatural shapes to escape trouble.
The African buffalo is another ex-perienced actor. Many an unwary hunter has brought down one of these magnificent beasts, and with-out taking the precaution of reload-ing his gun, has approached it think-ing it dead. When he got near, the wounded animal has suddenly got to its feet and charged, although it was apparently dead only a mo-ment before.
This is not just an odd case of the buffalo being stunned, for ex-perienced big-game hunters all tell of the same characteristic.
You will not be surprised to hear that monkeys are adepts at lying low when there is trouble around, and even elephants have been known to "act dead."
Name Ctrmela Is From Hebrew The name Carmela Is from the
Hebrew, in which language the word carmel means "a park, wood-land or vineyard." We see from this where Mount Carmel in Pales-tine got its name, simply a word for a woodland. There is also an Arabic word, carmel, meaning "a field of fruit," practically the same thing as a vineyard. Carmela means "of the vineyard," writes Florence A. Cowles in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and Carmellta, occasion-ally heard. Is a diminutive of the shorter name.
Billiards Once Played on Floor Historical documents prove that
billiards, now played on a table, was once played upon a smooth-surface floor in England and Ire-land. The early balls and cues were made of brass, and the playing space was marked off with brass rails. England, Ireland, France and Germany claim the honor of originating the game, Ireland and England producing the most evi-dence in support of their claims
Cannot Measure Smell, Taste Oddly, little attention is paid to
the senses of smell and taste In the United States, says a writer in the Washington Post. Sight, hearing and touch can be scientifically measured, but not the accuracy of your nose and tongue. Sniffing is a cultivated art, however, in the Orient. Japanese nobles used to hold "incense listening" parties, try to name correctly 10 kinds of in-cense, burned consecutively.

IN THE club locker Harry Small-wood was ImltatinR Chct Kir-by's slow mnnncr of speaking when someone had said:
"Gosh! Harry, if I couldn't actu-ally sec you there I'd bet my last dime it was Chet himself talking. You'd make n fortune doing that kind of stuff on the stage." he add-ed. laughing and putting down his empty highball glass.
Other golfers, in various stages of undress, noisily indorsed what the speaker had said.
That was what bred the Idea In Harry Smallwood's brain. It came to him like a flash as he sat at his offlce desk soon after lunch on the following day. Monday.
He stifTened. and thought furious-ly. Then a smile passed over his face, but It was not a pleasant smile.
"And now Is Just the time to And her out," he thought. "Chet said he'd be at Rye all this afternoon looking over some lots he thought of buying. And if my voice doesn't fool her I can pass it ofT as a Joke and say I really phoned to let her know I'd be late for dinner or some-thing."
Having asked the operator for his home number, Harry Smalhvood cleared his throat and waited.
Presently his wife answered. "Oh. hullo. Audrey," he said, sim-
ulating Chet Kirby's slight drawl to perfection. "You know who's speaking, eh?"
There was a short pause; then Audrey Smallwood's extremely pret-ty voice replied: "Well, no. Who is It?"
"Come, come!" There was a hint of affectionate reproof in the way this was said. "Mean to say you don't recognize your old Chefs voice?"
"Oh. oh, yes. Of course. How are you, Chet?"
Harry's eyes narrowed as he not-ed his wife's excited tone.
"Listen, dear," he said. "I got through my business out at Rye sooner than I expected. I'm Just leaving there now. Could you stand It if I dropped in on you for a half-hour, or longer?"
"Stand It! You know I'd adore It."
"You're a darling, Audrey. We can have a cocktail and a cozy little chat If you've got nothing better to do, maybe?"
"What do you mean maybe?" Au-drey said, gurgling dellclously. "Have I ever anything better to do when you've wanted to see me. sweetheart? Don't say things like that ."
An ecstatic murmur came from the other end of the wire.
Audrey went on: "How soon can you be here, darling?"
"Let's see. About three-thirty." "But make it aooner if you can,
Chet dear."
"I'll surely try. And, by the way, I s'pose there's not a chance of any-one—you know who I mean—catch-ing an early train and crashing In on our party, eh?"
"Why the sudden panic? He's never walked In on us. yet. You know he never gets here before seven."
"Audrey, you don't think he sus-pects anything about us. do you?"
"Not a thing, honey dear. Don't worry. He's much too dumb to sus-pect so long as we go on being care-ful. Now Jump Into your car and bum up the roads."
Whereupon, Audrey hung up. At the other end Harry Smalhvood
shuddered. He was almost blind with rage,
yet he felt too, a certain triumphant intoxication that his ruse had worked so neatly.
On the plea that his wife was sick he excused himself at the office for the remainder of the day. "If she isn't sick now," he told himself, "she's damn soon going to be."
In the train he rehearsed the speech he intended to deliver to Audrey.
Women were all alike. Just a bunch of cheats.
What suckers men were to marry them. He'd show her whether she could play fast and loose while he was sweating his soul away to make money and keep a roof over her head.
And he'd show Chet Klrby some-
The letter It contained ran as fol-lows: Dear Harry:
Your Imitation of Chefs voice this afternoon was so amazingly good that I must surely have mis-taken you for him but for the fact that he was sitting In this very room when you telephoned. In-ddontally. ho had never before been in the house with me alone. But when I realized how despic-

Also, I made a momentous dec! sion during our conversation.
For almost three years Chet has been in love with me. For almost that time I have been in love with him, but I tried to bluff that I was not. I was .old-fashioned enough to believe that it was my duty to stand by you so long as you treat-ed me decently. Chet made no attempt to coax me away from you.
He did not go to Rye today. He decided overnight to go off to Eu-rope and live there for a year or so to try and get me out of his mind. He came to tell me that he was sailing tomorrow.
After putting up the receiver this afternoon I kissed Chet for the first time in my life; then I an-nounced that I would go to Europe with him. So now I am through with making ends meet In the sub-urbs for a husband who obviously did not think much of me. Chet, as you know. Is very well off, and he will be able to take good care of me both before and after we are married.
Good-by, Harry. Give up doing Imitations—and being one.

For several minutes Harry Small-wood stoqd there like a man In a trance, Audrey would never come back to him. He knew her.
The light sound of the letter fall-ing from his hand to the rug ob-truded on his thoughts.

Many Indians In Early Ohio Indian tribes living within the
present boundaries of the state at the time the white settlement com-menced were the Erie, or Cat tribe, one of the earliest to inhabit the ctate, who dwelt In the region south of the lake, to which they have given their name; the Iroquois, who inhabited northeastern Ohio; the Wyandots, the entire northwestern part of the state; the Delawares, most of the region east of the Scio-to; between the Scioto and Miami rivers were the Shawnees, while be-yond lay the lands of the Mlamis, which extended westward into In-diana, observes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Various other tribes had occasional resi-dence in the state—a remnant of the Mohegans who had united them-selves with the Delawares, a few bands of the Senecas and Tuscara-was, and a single band of Ottawas.

Rain Brings Pain to Most Rheumatism Victims.
You likely know somebody who's susceptible to weather changes. He may even tell you when It's going to rain because his tooth starts to ache, or rheumatic pains shoot through parts of his body hours be-fore the rain begins to fall. And then there are the insane patients who frequently become violent Just before a storm.
But did you ever wonder what caused these reactions? Men of sci-ence have been delving into the mystery for years, and whether it means there's an additional sense or not they can't say, but they have determined that physiological changes. Induced by the weather, are due to blood pressure as a re-sult of contracting tissues which be-come hungry for air and swell, thus causing sutTering. All this comes from Dr. William F. Petersen, pro-fessor of pathology at the University of Illinois. He said:
"I t is not the rain Itself that causes pain to the person suffering, for instance, from arthritis, but what happens is really this: As weather becomes colder and the barometric pressure rises, one's blood pressure also goes up. This is because the blood vessels contract. The tissues then become hungry for more air and begin to swell, and as they swell they start to pain. At the end of the cold period there usu-ally takes place a switch In the weather, involving, as it may, a pre-cipitation of rain. This coincides usually with the period of pain felt by the Individual."
Why Nails Are Treated To Eradicate Bacteria
Sterilized steel, says the Ameri-can Iron and Steel Institute, is now a regular product The demand for germ-free nails and tacks having been created by carpcnters, lathers and others who like to use their mouths as supply boxes when work-ing with tacks or nails. Although almost any type of nail can be ster-ilized, lathing nails are one of the most usual types to undergo this treatment. Others are plasterboard nails, metal-lath staples and tacks.
The initial step in the sterilizing process is to "tumble" the nails In a revolving sawdust-filled drum, which cleans and polishes them and removes any adhering oil After tumbling, the nails are transferred to another drum which is simultane-ously rotated and heated until the nails reach a temperature of 500 to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, sufficient to destroy all bacteria.
Why Scum Gathers on Water The yellowish sulphur-like gather-
ing on top of the water which falls in some rains in most it not all cases is pollen, usually from conifer-ous trees. These trees bear early in the spring great quantities ot yellow pollen, which is usually blown ofl by the winds or beaten ofl by rain. It is light and floats on the puddles caused by the rain. Most ot it probably was on the ground before the rain came, es-pecially in low places where the wind would drift it, but was not observed because comparatively small in quantity and not conspicu-ous on the dry ground.

There is no foundation tor the notion that corned beef was so called because it was a favorite dish among the Cornish people.

Special Session Called To Raise Million More in Taxes
The state cupDoard Is bare a t Lansing, and so Governor F rank Murphy, in the chosen role of Michigan's "Mother Hubbard," is calling the legislature to meet late this month for another special session, the second since his in-auguration.
The governor's predicament is not the source of rejoicing among democratic leaders.
In fact, the governor has been warned repeatedly by important party advisers f rom Senator Pren-tiss M. Brown down to county chairmen that a special session in a campaign year would be in-jurious to his re-election chances.
It 's a pretty mess for all con-cerned.
Consider the situation.
Distributing Wealth
The state legislature appropriat-ed in 1937 the grand and stagger-ing sum of $122,000,000, while ex-pected tax revenues a t that time tallied to $104,000,000—a mere de-ficiency of 118.000,000.
In spreading public benefits here and there, distribution of wealth that is popular with the masses, the legislature managed to create new agencies and to load new responsibilities on the state government. Result: More jobs, bigger payroll.
According to records of Budget Director Harold Smith, state pay-rolls for the f irst 18 months of the present administration were $9,420,-284 higher than in the comparable period of the previous administra-tion. If our arithmetic la right, this sum Is around 50 per cent of the anticipated deficit even on the expectation that the state would collect $104,000,000 taxes.
Recession Troubles
Of course, the legislature could not know that we would be plagued by another business de-cline—known as "the recession."
Instead of the state collecting $104,000,000 in revenues, it will be fortunate to get $90,000,000.
The state's welfare appropria-tion for two years, s tar t ing July 1 of last year. Is now at the vanish-ing point
Quoting Governor Murphy in a press article: "The state Is going to need between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000 between now and next March for welfare. It 's a question of whether I should do something or nothing about it. I have decided to do something, but In so doing I am mindful of my friends' warn-ings that it may mean the end of me politically."
"Painless Taxes"
To raise $8,000,000 or more, the legislature must enact additional taxes.
I t Is quite obvious that special taxes, if imposed a few months be-fore election, should be as "pain-leas" as possible—the hidden vari-ety which you pay without being conscious of i t
The gasoline and petroleum tax bill has grown to $1,200,000,000 a year from the $130,258,000 paid In 1922, an Increase of more than 800 per cent as against a general tax Increase of 21 per cen t
Effect of Session
What effect the legislative spe-cial session will have on the No-
vember election is a topic of lively speculation.
If a majority view of the demo-cratic leaders ia borne out, an ex-t ra session and new taxes will not help Murphy's chances for re-election. There is a movement under way, perhaps in anticipation of this reaction, to get President Roosevelt to include Michigan on his October speaking tour.
Some democratic strategy aces believe that Murphy's move is cleverly designed to put the Re-publican majority In ^the Senate "on the spot." Can the republi-cans afford to take an anti-relief position by voting against $8,000,-000 or more for public welfare?
We surmise that the administra-tion will have little difficulty in getting the welfare appropriation. Republican opposition will prob-ably center on how the money Is going to be raised.
Thus we come to the crux of the whole matter.
Who Is going to foot the bill? This Is the real question tod&y!
