Well, tales about Jesse James and his fellow bandits used to be popular. An expert has made the clever sug- gestion that the surplus of farm products could be reduced if farmers would raise less stuff. If the printing of the Congressional Record were abolished and the newspapers quit sending reporters to the capitol, how long would it be before Congress would quit talking? Casey, mighty Casey, struck out, and was made famous. Anybody can strike out, but baseball history is silent concern- ing the name of the pitcher who made the mighty Casey fan. Both Jefferson and Washington pos- sessed a remarkable gift for landscape gardening. Jefferson took off the top of & mountain to get the site he needed for bis fine house, and the view of the Univer- sity of Virginia far distant, that beautiful group of his own designing. 4 tices the reason is plain. | are not business men, nor even merchants ‘| —they are only storekeepers, some soul began to really study business methods and actually plan for greater vol- | ; B ume and a wider trade radius. Some be- came real business men and reaped rich rewards. Later still, the department store anal mail order house came into existence, re- cently followed by the chain store, which now seem to menace the small merchant, and even threaten to drive him out of busi- ness. p In spite of these revolutionary deve- lopments, however, thousands of indepen- dent merchants are making money today. They are doing it through adopting scien- tific methods of buying and_ selling, through the employment of systematic ac- counting, through a study of their ‘custo- mer’s requirements and through advertis- ‘ing. But a great many scorn ‘the new-fang- led ideas, and stay in the rut in which their forefathers ran their coursé. They are headed for bankruptcy and. don’t know why. But to anyone with a fundamen- tal knowledge of modern business prac- These failures PENSIONERS OF 2000 A. D. This is only 1933, but if history re- peats itself there will be veterans of the World War still alive and drawing pen- sions in the year 2,000. Daniel F. Bakerman, last survivor of the Revolutionary War, lived until April 5, 1859, or 86 years after the war ended. Hiram Cronk drew a pension as a veteran of the War of 1812 until his death on May 18, 1905, at the age of 105 years. Five séldiets of the Mexican+War were still on the pension rolls 8) years after the close of that war. In this connection it is interesting to note that two mothers of Civil War vet- erans were still drawing pensions up to four or five years ago. They were Sa- mantha Button of West McHenry, Ill., and Samantha Farrer, a negro woman of Ath- ens, Ala. Although the Civil War ended in 1865, it is quite probable that a veteran or two who followed Grant may be. alive and drawing a pension in 1950. Considering the vastly greater number of those who fought with Pershing in France, it is not unreasonable to suppose that some of them will still be in the land of the living in the year 2000. A youngster of 17, who enlisted in 1917, would be 100 years old then. And with the greater span of life which modern science is making possible, there will doubtless be many to attain that age. SOAP-BOX ORATORS Free speech as guaranteed by the Con- stitution is a citizen's right, but it is not to be exercised when or where it infringes up- on equal rights of other citizens. Such is the substance of a ruling' by the Massa- chusett’s Supreme Court in denying a So- cialist soap-box orator’s appeal from a fine imposed for obstructing a street in Lynn. In his appeal the defendant claimed the right of the people to assemble in the streets and to make speeches therein. Chief dustice Rugg in his opinion, said: “By the location of a highway, an easement of passage is secured for the public with all incidental privileges there- by implied. Whatever interferes with the éxercise of this easement is a nuisance. It is manifest that making a speech from a box and thereby gathering a standing crowd of people is an obstruction to the right of the public to use the highway for travel.” But soap-bex orators are not the only persons who obstruct the streets and high- | - ways, to the annoyance and inconvenience of the public. “T have more respect for this job than any one I have ever tackled before.”—Sec- retary of the Trezsury Woodin.

The Trust restaurant, Igcated’on the County Road, owned by the Havaha-Americin Cigar company, was destroyed by fire last night. Ramon Castro, manager of the restaurant, stated that the loss is about $2,000. Fire Chief Pinder believes the conflagration started because of a defective flue.
