Geometrically and politically speak ing, a ring fa a crooked affair that has no ending. It is said that deaf mutes can feel music. So do we, but we couldn’t print just how we feel about some of it. We shall always have crime in our midst until we begin to impose higher fines upon murderers—and bootleg gers. The fellow who said “trutli is stranger than fiction” referred only to the fiction that had been written up to that time. A French chef declares that music furnishes the inspiration for his most appetizing dishes. A jazz band should inspire a wondeiful new brand of hash. A health writer avers that ‘‘a per fect knee h a wonderfully construct ed hinge.” A good many have no ticed that since the advent of short skirts. A Paris court has ruled that a wife has no right to open her husband’s letter*. Unfortunately, wives in Am erica are not within that court’s juris diction. The Itadio Bill. After having killed a bill to place a tax of $1 on all radio sets in South Carolina, the revenue to lie used for the support of the State tuberculosis sanitarium in Columbia, the bill has been revived, with a graduated tax on ladios ranging from 50 cents to $2.50. This may be a good bill, but what connection is there between radios and tuberculosis in South Carolina? If they be the prime cause of that dread disea-e, then we are in favor of tax ing them out of existence, but from the viewpoint of most radio owners it will appear as class legislation. Radio sets are already subject to the person-' al property tax and in this way bear their share of the cost of government, whether the money be appropriated for the support of the tuberculosis sanitarium or “expense money” for the legislators who apparently rack their brains to find “now source* of revenue,” while they give little hoed to the cry of the people for reduced operating expenses. If the State tuberculosis sanitarium be in need of more funds, by all means make the necessary appropriation, but let the money come out of the pockets of ALL the taxpayers. The propagation of foyl bills is an other reason why we favor biennial aessiong of our august law-making body. ed Mr. Sellem)-acted too hasty in 1 $5.95 for those essentials. (The check raising sand. He says he has-gone hag not of course been heard from). several days just lots of times before he would think to register a cash sale Now, mebbe Uncle Joe has a right to be up-set; he says he sold a dry cow Times ain’t like they useter be. A promise is merely a statement of prospects to the average man of to day. So-called reliable men don’t seem to think anything of letting their notes go a few days past due or their grocery accounts pile up for several months. They do not seem to realize it, hut those things cause them to lose their credit. A man can get along better with a good credit than he can with some money since dependability became so scarce in the world. and lots of times he had spent some j hide last week that weighed 14 lbs. of the money before he discovered for 93 cents, that it was not his’n. Uncle Joe thinkg that if any set of folks in the world ought to strike it’s the farmers. He told me about Mr. Brown’s 3 boys: Jim is a railroad en gineer and gets $350.00 per month. Sam i s a plasteier and gets $14.00 a day. Ike is a farmer, and an all-round good" man: he and his entire family worked all of last year on the farm for less than 65 cents each per day and boarded and clothed and housed them.‘elve 8 at that. If you would fi$d out about your neighbor, ask the filling station keeper how he pays his bills, or watch the expression of his physician when you mention his name, or take notice of how he contributes to the church and The stummick is likewise adjusting itself to new offices and undertakings. Our fore-fathers could easily digest wire nails, pork sausage for supper, com whiskey with breakfast, and just anything else that should have been running loose around the premises during the night time. But now, salad dres.-ings, tit-bits, bit-titts, cheese straws, lady fingers and thumbs* raw cabbage, liver, breakfast foods and pine shavings have put the digest ive organs to different kinds of strug gles and therefore the change is on us. $25 REWARD We hereby offer a reward of $25.00 for evidence leading to the arrest and conviction of the party or parties who broke into our garage Tuesday night, March 11th, 1930, and stole therefrom the following automobile tires: # 7 Murray Tires, size 4.75 x 19. 4 Goodrich Silvertown Cord Truck Tires. ✓ .

He seemed soured on taking the schools out of the countiy and moving them to town. He thought la-t year’s crops were absolutely stolen from the farmers. He predicted harder times and blamed mucfi of the unemploy ment on installment buying and high- charity, or better still—see how’ his cook anil washer-woman are faring " V '-*•••»* , . , . o , , * powered salesmen who lived off the at his hands.

And then the phone much necessary stealing going on. that is—the 19 and 30-model thieves are hunting inner tubes and casings I and tobacco and cash. They are not looking for meat and bread; it’s luxu- , rang, thank goodness! Then, we are getting tougher in some places on account of sitting dow r n so much and very tender in oth- eis because we bathr ourselves so of ten and rub paints *nd polishes and what-nots all over our anatomy fre quently.

The reason th^t there is so much stealing going on nowadays is—it costs lots of money to run automo biles and automobiles must run. Now Uncle Joe’s Sammie says that the man ain’t paying him all he’s worth for clerking in his store, so he just knocks down a dollar or two now and then. He has paid the 8th install- ment on his car and has not had to borrow a cent so far from anybody. Sammie's wages are 11 dollars a Week and as he has to pay only 4 dol lars for board and 1 dollar for coca cola and 2 dollars for laundry work and 1 dollar for dry cleaning and 3 Mollan for picture shows and hair , cats and massages and 7 dollars for gas and oil and 2 dollars for repairs, be manages to save enough each week te meet his 12-dollar installments which come on Saturday after a very busy day, a f if Evolution.

As usual, he had a head full of mo<, ‘ ,rn hab,t ’ and ma ehinery and plans to help the farmer. He thinks uf th * ,la y- F0R IN the government is working on the wrong end of the farmer. They are dosing him for a severe headache when, as a matter of fact, he has in growing toe nails. (The government wants to help him sell it but ain’t in terested in how much it costs him to grow it.) Now Uncle Joe could be right. He thinks Uncle Sam ought to help the farmer produce a cheap crop rather than force him to grow a high-priced crop to he sold at low prices. In fact. Uncle Joe doesn’t believe that the walk, government has much power over Messrs. Supply and Demand. The arms of the women are grad ually becoming longer. This has been brought about by reason of the ef : forts made by them to * pull their dresses down over their knees when they sit down. The pull is so corK stanf'that the ligaments and muscles have stretched no little bit since 19 and 15. If it is kept up for a few years, the hands of the ladies will 4rag along on the ground by their sides when they walk—if they should SammW fell oUt with Sellem and Delfverem when old ihaii Sellem jack- wd him up oae day because he forgot ta rtag up 6 dollars he got for some j Sammie ciaime * that be! forgetful and that old [ (yesi tha^i what he call- I r i $ I asked Uncle Joe how he thought the government could help the farmer and he started out: “Well, they are letting Muscle Shoals do the shimmy for fear they will hurt big business. What the farmer needs is low-priced fertilizer, cheaper cleavises, lower plow points, lower harness, and lower taxes. What about 12-cent cotton and 30-eent plow lines?” 1 told Uncle Joe that the govern ment had its hands full looking after its own affairs and could not afford to be meddling with share croppers and mortgaged farms and grafters. Uncle Joe thought the tariff was the whole trouble. He could-not see why a plow-share that cost Bethlehem steel less than 1-cent a pound ought to fetch 6 cents a pound just because Great Britain and Germany' had to pay 4 centa a pound to get t^eir mer chandise into this country. Another peculiar situation that is evolving is—the legs qf the present generation t are becoming numb and number from lack of exercise, due, of course, to the persistent use of auto mobiles which naturally makes the legs useless for the purpose of locomo tion. We predict that the children of future generations will never attempt to learn to walk. They will begin rid ing the day after they are weaned and will ride right on to the cemetery, through kidhood, childhood, foolhood. matrimony, bankiuptcy, insomnia and old age.
