Great actions sjidem spring from healthy, satisfied states, but rather from inner turmoil and restlessness. Self-satis- faction leads to inertia, and that is fatal. The prince of the Asturias is giving up the Spanish throne for a Cuban senorita, newspapers report. By the way, what has become of that Spanish throne? “Kinder, Kueche und Kirche” (Chil- dren, Kitehen and Church) is the nazi slogan for the women of Germany, and it is one to Which the womanhood of all nations should subscribe. -foundations or tottering chimneys, beauti- KEEP THOSE DOLLARS ROLLING In these days of chaotic financial con- ditions, those who take out of circulation the means of bolstering and _ restoring credit and employment, are, in effect, pub- lic enemies. There is one kind of hoarding that prolongs depression, that cannot be fought by governmental actien. Millions of peo- ple in this country have good incomes—in- ! comes which are as large or larger than ever, when the increased buying power of the dollar is considered. They have cash on hand, and they can afford to spend it for necessities for themselves. But fear, inertia, uncertainty prevent them from investing it where it can do good—where, in brief, a dollar can accom- plish necessary work; There will be fear, inertia and uncer- tainty in this country until something is} done to provide employment, to create de- mand for the products of farms and indus- tries, to step up the general purchasing power, to start slacker dollars rolling. One of the best ways to make dol-; lars useful is to spend them for property improvement—to paint the house, put in a*new furnace, install some needed elec- trie wiring or appliance, replace sagging fy the grounds, repair or replace the roof | or the steps, and so on, When such things are done, dollars start rolling in an unending circle—they go into a hundred pay envelopes, touch a hundred different businesses and indus- tries. You can make needed repairs now cheaper than ever. You can secure im-| provements at rock-bottom prices you may never see again. And while you are bene- fiting yourself in this manner, you are like- wise doing your bit to demonstrate that | regular jobs for others are cheaper than charity, and that without jobs there soon won't be anything left for r charity. RAT DAMAGE ENORMOUS Damage by rats to produce and prop- erty amounts to 200 million dollars annual- Jy in the United States, according to an es- timate by the secretary of agriculture of North Dakota, who recommends the wag- ing of a constant and relentless campaign against this pest. Measures recommended include keep- ing waste food and garbage in covered containers until destroyed; preventing ac- cumulations of trash and refuse; making corn cribs and granaries rat-proof, and adopting any means whereby the supply of rat food may be reduced. : Among the means of destroying rats the most effective way is poisoning, for which purpose government experts recom- mend powdered barium carbonate, which is inexpensive and has the added advantage of being odorless and tasteless, therefore more readily eaten by the rodents when it is applied to their bait. Care must be taken, of course, that it is not placed in the way of children and domestic animals. When poison cannot be used, trapping is Suggested as the next best method to be employed. In addition to the property destruction they cause, rats tend to spread disease, and from every standpoint they are an unmiti- gated nuisance. A nation-wide rat ex- termination campaign might be consider- ed as an aid to Bpemplor ment refief. UNCLE TOM PASSES Of all the plays s ever written it is said that the one given most performances was “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” played for the first time in 1853 and produced continuously until a short time ago. In the heyday of its popularity dozens of companies were producing it at the same time. But now, according to a_ theatrical magazine, for the first time in more than three-quarters of a century, there is not a single company playing Uncle Tom any- where. And a writer in the Outlook re- marks with a tinge of sadness: “It is hard to believe that there are no more Elizas leaping from canvas ice- |) block to canvas ice-block, no creaking pul- leys bearing little Eva to Heaven, no snar!}- ing Simon Legrees in the world. Is there ne audience left to shudder at Simon, chuckle at Topsy, thrill at the blood- hounds and sob at Little Eva’s death?” Apparently not, but if flesh and blood Tom people are to be seen no more, it seems that a talkie of the show that thrill- ed millions should be made for posterity And who knows but what it might be a big hit on the screen? |Piggly Wigely, {attribute the condition to adver- KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Yea ?
