A BAD MONTH GONE > January is always a bad month. It stands for thirty-one days—turn over Ttnew leaf—(breaking in new ties and socks and breaking new year’s reso lutions—Christmas bills, and thg op portunity for dadvto finish paving for his Christmas present. February should be a h^ter month —not near so blue. should do if we were rich, but we are not willing to take all the trouble and worry on ourselVfS* that anyone must take if he is to^lain. success. Educa tion ought* t^ieach-^i^th, if nothing else, that Jx must work for what it gets. TPO>0nany young people gfo^ up the^days feeling that the world ^es m a liv/ihg.

How liquor adverti.sing in fhe newspap^. o thbs While we are not informed as to reason for the proposal, It's a pretty ^"'*'"“''5' expenditures of safe bit that the apUtion for its pas- !’*’* '^*'**™' <5ovi™nient, made with OUR BIG TAX LOAD We saw some intere.sting figures the other daj^if any kind of figures can be said to be interesting. These figures interested us because they showed just how he'avy the tax bur- d(e^ upon the American people is, and how it is growing in leaps and bounds. Not counting the staggering extra- if the people will raise the monney, mr. mike Clark, rfd, will possibly be willing to serve as pres.«|ident, and jud Clark will no doubt be. willing to act as cashier, salleries to b^ fixed by the former for the latter, intrust will be paid on time depossits, provided they stay in there long enough. the publick is rising up against the owners of the otter-mob^ls and it " is dangerous for a man or woman with a hos.s and buggy or waggin’to meet ohe of these dangerous raacheen.s: they should be kept* off of the big roads and do what running they can in town. dr. jenkin.s met cal alien and his waggin load of wood on JEjriday and he run away and tore everthing rr i- \ J tiei D. E. TRIBBLE CO. has not come from tho newspa- borrowed money, whiohjiave not Kt pers of th^ state, especially the week ly press. . It’s a^bill in which many newspa pers, this one included, are not con cerned over. While we n^d all the le gitimate advertising revenue we can obtain, we have, never, and will not now start to fill our columns with hetr ard liquor advertising ami there by lend our help to the liquor traffic. Then too, should we be inclined to carry this kind of . advertising we would have loo much' re.spect for our readers to ram spch publicity down their throats every Thursday morning. ROTTEN POLITICS We are so used to politics and poli ticians that ^we generally fail to rec ognize the (\utrageous things which are so (hften done in their name. Here’s a sample: Ohio recently in ducted into office a new governor. At the’ head of the state’.s minimum wage divi.sion was a woman named Louise Stitt. .She had made an enviable rec ord in administering the law which protects Ohio’s women and children from economic^ inju.stice. But one of the new adminstrations first official act.s was to remove her form office “becuii.se she wasn’t a vote gretter.” Now that sort of thing is as common as gra.s?; and iHKrau.se-it is so common 'we donT recognize it for w'hat it is— an outrage, pure and simple that should be denounceil. To fire a cap able public servant because he or she didn’t get out the vote for this or that office-stH*ker Ls to strike a blow at.the Very existence of the democratii^tprin- • ciple, if such a thing exists anymore. One doesn’t have to go away to Ohio • to find such tactics practiced, either. It’s going on right here in our own state. ‘ begun tp be seriously reflected in the demand for taxes, Uncle Sam is spend ing just fbr ordinary upkeep of the governmentarv institutions, including the army and navy and the payment of expenses arisihg from p^l wars, sQch as veterans’ pensidns, just about 15 million dollars every yirorking day, or $4,500,000,000 a yeai*. But the Federal tak load is not the heaviest, by any-means. States, coun ties and municipalities take more than twice as much in taxes from the citi zens. T/Im' total annual tax bill of the .\merican iH'ojye runs up to 15 thous and millions a year (if anybody can take that in). which came close to (being $125 a year Jor every man, woman and child. Thd' average family of'^four carries a $500 a year tax load. Some pay more, many jiay less, hut that i.s thy average'. Don’t f(M)l younself—these taxes bear on everyiKidy^. They are con cealed in the rent bill, the electric bill, the prices of the groceries you eat, the clothes you wear, the co.st of everything for which everybody spends a cent. They take, all told, a^ good third of the national incom which is estimatcKl for 1034 at abmit $45,000.000,000.. The hardest place to cut govern mental expenses is in Wa^ington where mone^ is being spent^s though it' gi-ew on trees. The e^est fHaee is at home, in towns, coupes and states. If everybody Tealized/ftiat he or she is a taxpayer, and tJ(at their money would go a lot ^rther if taxes were lower, perhaps^ere might be a public demand to ggt rid of a lot of the tax eaters wh^/^ubsist at everybody’s ex- jiense.

THE FAVORITE The home town paper is-still the favorite paper with the women in thei big city, according to a questionaire*^ Rock Is Making Plans To Start that has been answered by New York college women representing twenty- one national fraternitii's. Baiik A New deer nir, edditor: the townj)f flat rock is in ntH'd of New,,York, more than any other it has benn without one city, is jt. big place whei’e the small town people meet. Members of the Pan-Hclletiic assojdiation thci'^ were asked a* number, of questions abput their favoiiti* (lapers, their favorite news topics, and their favorite news Avriters. .After giving their answers to these ‘lueries J^hey remarked that their favoriie jiaper was still their home town one. ' One woman answered: “I read every item in the paper father and mother send me because it gives me news about the neighlwr.s that my family never writes me about. My parents weekly letter tells me the. news about themselves anil that’s about all. The paper gives me all the facts -about the friends 1 have known since 1 was knee high.” Another successful New’“York wo man wrote: “After all, the .pews we care the most about of all in the world is the news about the people that mean the most tons, and- they are at home.”. The home paper is still the favorite. No other paper can take its place. since the cashier of the flat rock sav- vjngs bank took amne.sia and went &ivay to parts-unknown, in 11)21 and closed it,s doors, and never left his addrqss with anyboddy except his wife."^ th^citizohs met in the scholl a'udir- "tbrium last night to provide w-ays and metflts for getting bank fasilities^ and yore corry spondebt, mr. mike Clark, If vou cduld lr«d* yoor neclected tirwi and lazy Kidn«ya for new one*. yovTWould »uio- matically set rid of Ni«ht Risinc Nervou.ini-?ui.
