SITUATION
mr. -henry a. Wullia,

deer ?i r:
plow paixion me for ritang this letter)
hut it seems Ihal you oug*ht to
liave w>ine in for matt ion from jmor
folios that you don't seem to 'have in
yore files an*x>fAKh.
at a meeting; of the citizens of flat '
lock last night which was <hell in our
citty hall, we had a few talks from
workinig' men aibout yore processing
taxes cm cotton unxi wheat and 'hogs.
mr. holsrum unoore took the floor
ami -proved that ever third biscuit we
eat is processing taxes, and ever
fouth bite of fatback we swallow (we
ain't able to oat amvy other jmvt of
u hog) is processing taxes.
if we happen to be able to wear 1
pair over-halls and 1 over-jacket
and I pair of sox and 1 oMLmhray
shirt and 1 peace of underware, at
least the shirt and sox rcpprescn-ts
processing taxes.
poor folks pay most of these high
processing taxes onner count of they
have to wear cheap, 'heavy cotton
clothes, and eat plain bread, and sop
gravy made from the lowest price
cuts of the shote, which is almost out
of reach, and furthermore, ever other
chaw of tobacker is taxes and 8
puffs out of 10 from a cigarette is
allso taxes.
rich folks don't eat the stuff that
is taxed; they dine on planked stteaks,
caviar, roast turkiey, codfish balls,
ets., and rarely ever tetch the artickles
that carry all of the tax burden,
they don't have to .wear cotbon clothes
that weigh over 5 ounces per pair,
they buy silks and sattins ami imported
wooling goods.
the crowd decided that you fellers
have got the brakes tightly sot on j
prosperity, ami yore processing taxes!
is the said brakes, you are forcing
the north and east and south and
west to grow their own bread and go
naked at the same time, and you are
shutting down our cotton mills and
piling up big surpluses of cotton and!
wheat by not knowing -but one side
ot the question, ami then we all got
so mad, we adjourned.
yores in misery,
mike Clark, rfd,
tax-payer.

April Tips For
Home Hardeners
Clemson College, April <>.?More
nn<l more busy must the home gardener
l>e in these spring months to
prepare for sufficient quantities of
J'resh vegetable W> maintain adequately
the family's food a7?d health
requirements, says A. E. Schillotter,
extension horticulturist, givb?<g recommendations
for cultivation and
planting in April.
"Vegetables that were planted in
February arxi March, such as beets,
cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, kale,
lettuce, mustard, i>ea.s, spinach, etc.,
need to be cultivated frequently and
thoroughly with a wheel hoe," advises
Mr. Schilletter, "and they should
be given u side dressing of nitrate
of soda scattered between the rows.
In order to have an unbroken supply,
make another planting of the vegetables
planted during March.
"Tomato plants should be transplanted
to other boxes und frames
and each plant given room to grow
stout-stemmed and stock rather than
long-legged. When they are abbut
eight inches from root to top, set the
tomato plants in oj>cn ground with
half the stem below the surface of
the ground so lliat roots will be deep
enough to resist drouth,
"Make plantings now of the following
varieties;
"Beans: Giant Stringloss Green
Pod and Bountiful.
Pole Beans; Kentucy Wonder, McCaslan.
Lima Beans: Henderson Bush Lima
or Wood's Prolific, (pole), Carolina
Pole or Seiva Bean.
Squash: Early White Bush, Giant j
Summer Crook Neck.
Cucumber: Improved White Spine,
Green Prolific Pickling.
Okra: Perkins, White Velvet.
(x>rn: Sto well's Evergreen, Country
Gentleman, Golden Bantam.
"Transplant tomato, sweet potato,
eggplant, pepper to open field after
April 15," concludes the specialist.
Six members ot a gang of Mexican
kidnapers, charged with kidnaping
Mark Fowler, American engineer, are
reported to have been killed and several
others wounded in a battle with
federal troops in Zacatecas.

Proves amazing economy?
in nation-wide test
22.9 miles to the gallon of gas?in a full-sized, 88horsepovver
sedan! That's the average mileage,
shown by scores of reports from leading cities, of
stock Terraplanes in nation-wide economy tests
held just last month. And some of these cars went
over 25 miles per gallon!
In everyday driving, of course, you don't expect
the kind of gas mileage you can get under test
conditions ? bu4 even in city traffic Terraplane is
also the outstanding economy car. Thousands of
sworn statements from actual owners prove it.
Ruggedness Saves in Upkeep, Tool
But these affidavits also show an even more important
saving from Terraplane ruggedness. Hudson's
way of building automobiles?with America's
only bodies all of steel, the greater ruggedness of
Terraplane chassis and higher quality of materials
throughout ? means longer life and lower upkeep
cost.
What other car can pile proof of economy on more
proof, as Terraplane does for you? Drive a Terraplane,
soon. Compare other lowest price cars
with it. Then decide.
