He’s as good as new, except for a small part of his tail which we hope to be able to produce by another week. He has promised to be good and stay out of fights, just as you should do, and we in turn have promised him the rest of his tail if he keeps his good reso lution for another week. Some girls want to remain single but most of them would rather knot. In a coast city lawsuit, Judge Cos- grave asked the first defendant his name. “Marvin Coates.” “And you name?” the judge asked of the next, “Tony Panz,” was the reply. “Well, well,” remarked the judge. “Coates and Panz. And no*, I sup pose your name is Hat or Shoes,” he continued, pointing to a third defend ant. “No, your honor, it’s Harold Shurtz,” replied the last of the trio. Judge Cosgrave took a drink of water. Then in a sterner tone he asked whether the defendants had a lawyer to represent them. The three looked at one another with serious faces, but said nothing. Then the prosecuting attorney, John Pow ell, volunteered the information that Charles Vest was their attorney but he was not present at the time. After the uproar in court had died down, Judge Cosgrave announc ed postponement of the case for one week whe n Coates, Panz, Shurtz, and their attorney, Vest, could all be in court together. “The girl I married has a twin sister.” “Gosh, how do you tell them apart ” “I don’t, it’s up to the other one to look out for herself.” Last week I went into a garage and there were Six men working there. Today I was in the same garage and only the foreman was left. “Where’s all your help?” I asked. “Three of them quit to catch up with their fishin’. One went home just to sit down. The other was no good, so I had to fire him.” This is the picture in thousands of places today. Where is old-fashion ed American ambition? Somebody has taught people that work is a joke—that character is a farce—that somebody will take care of everybody. It makes me wonder what kind of America we’ll have 10 years from now.

These Are Patients At County Hospital Hare Will Discuss Problems Of Nation Washington.—In making my an nouncement for re-election to Con gress, I can say I shall follow my usual practice and endeavor to con duct a clean and honorable campaign; and in asking a renewal of the con fidence heretofore expressed by the people, I shall rely upon my train ing, experience and record in the Congress, together with the position I shall take on new issues I plan to discuss during the campaign. Some new problems have arisen since the last election and others will arise within the next two years. In fact, some of the greatest and grav est problems in the history of our Republic, both foreign and domestic, will have to be met and solved in the meantime both by the people and their representatives. I will under take to suggest only a few at this time. It is now being suggested that a number of wartime powers of Fed eral control and direction be project ed into peacetime programs. This is a matter of far-reaching significance because it is possible for a govern ment with increasing power to be come as dictatorial as a Czar. The distinguishing powers and re sponsibilities between the legislative and executive branches of the Gov ernment should be reviewed and clarified, and it is indispensable that the clarification be such as to permit no misunderstanding on the part of the people a'n'd their representatives. The Constitution of the United States gives the/ Congress the power and responsibility to provide and maintain an adequate military force. The propedure or formula for dis charging this responsibility is now a debatable matter, but one which must be decided. Equal rights to all the special privileges to none,” is one of the main tenets in our system of govern ment. It is fundamental and sound doctrine and must be preserved if our Government is to survive. The, war has been won by heroic sacrifices made by our armed forces and civilian population. Hostilities have ceased, but peace has not been declared; sound thinking, profound judgment and courageous action on the part of all will be required to in sure permanent peace which is our one great objective at this time. The actions of the next Congress will, in a large measure, determine the re sults. The people throughout the Nation will say who shall represent them m the next Congress. The war has entailed a great bur den on the American people in the way of taxes and if the burden' is to be removed govern metnbal expendi tures must be reduced. The question of collecting revenues on taxable re sources by both State and Federal Government must be defined and clarified if the functions of the State are to prevail. The wealth of a nation is in its soil and the products of labor, both of which must be protected and pre served if we are to maintain or stab- ilize our national economy. Problems of mass production, in cluding problems of mass destruction, are pressing for solution. Enforceable legislation to control atomic energy must be considered or we may find ourselves in an atomic armament race in which civilization itself may be destroyed. On the contrary a pro per solution of this new discovery or invention problems may be the begin- ning of a new era in the social and economic life of humanity. The questio n of whether private enterprise shall be free or subject to Federal control' and direction is one which will soon be pressing the people and their representatives for an answer. It shall be my purpose to discuss these and many other matters dur ing the coming campaign and state definitely my position on each . BUTLER B. HARE. Mrs. Katherine Hunnicutt, Whit mire.
