The ACT lends money to far- “mers to buy seed, fertilizer and other sup- plies necessary to make a cotton crop. Three months later the government pays farmers to plow up the cotton they have planted. This may make sense to some, but we confess we are too dumb to under- stand it, An old proverb reads: “Man is like a tack, useful, if he has a good head on him, and is pointed in the right direction, but even though he is driven, he can only go as far as his head will let him.” We concur with the .majority of men as examples, but some we know only _ re- semble the tack because they're both flat on top. Florida cities can’t believe that reform in Cuba will go so far as to abolish the na- tional lottery, but many of them are hoping itistrue. “It is an open secret,” says the Tampa Times, “that thousands of dollars ave been drawn out of Tampa and other lorida cities every week by the big Sun- drawings at Havana and, since the pfits are said to be enormous, there is no cOwesponding return in prizes to players he&.”.

MORE BABIES ADOPTED It speaks well for the humane spirit of our people that the number of orphans and children of incompetent parents. who have been adopted into comfortable homes has greatly increased during the depres- sion. In 1927 the number of such adoptions was about 100,000, while last year over 120,000 found homes with desirable foster Parents. During the same period the number ~{,homeless children who had. to be cared for. by institutions remained prac- tically at a standstill, the yearly average being about 160,000. These facts are presented by the Chil- dren’s Bureau of the Department of Labor in Washing‘-n, which points out that this difference between institutional and home care shows a significant trend in the hous- ing of these unfortunate little ones. Commenting. on this humane trend,, the Houston Post says: “Such . children have brought joy,to thousands: of childless homes. The doors of every. childless home in America should be thrown open to one or more of these ynfortunate tots. It will mean happiness to the foster parents and a real chance for the youngsters upon whom fate has not smiled.”’ If our Christian faith be well founded, the adoption of a homeless child must be pleasing. to, Him who said: “Suffer . little children to come unto Me.” BIG sHOw SETS.STYLES \, 1 comes'that Chicago’s Century ‘of Progress Exposition is setting the coun- try’s standards for women’s summer fash- ions. | The big cafes and the outdoor din- ing terraces at the Exposition naturally bring out the newest styles. _ Visitors from every state in the Union observe, go home and begin wearing the same _ fashions, thus popular ideas quickly sweep the coun- try. The most interesting point in the whole situation is the fact that inexpensive materials are the most. popular. Gingham, orgendy, seersucker, are seen everywhere atthe Fair, by day and by night. And of course, it,is easy to adopt such styles in the rest. of the country,.for the day clothes, uaace “socks, jackets and coats all:can be tosseu ‘nfo the family washing machine, whisked clean in a jiffy and be ready to wear again in an hour or so. This, in turn, reminds one of how quickly household equipment has gone from the class of luxuries to the field of ne- cegsities. Fifteen years ago the woman who.owned a household washing machine considered herself exceptionally fortunate. now it is possible for the most modest home to have such equipment. With washable clothes never so pop- ular as they are this summer, it is interest- ing to realize how mechanical genius has made it easy for such styles to be adopted and followed by anyone. PRESS AIDS HEALTH Newspapers of the, country: are .per-. forming aysplendid public service through the publication of. health information, ac- cording to Dr, Bloodgood,..eminent scien- tist and cancer specialist of John Hopkins University. He declares that because of the spread of sound advice 70 percent of persons threatened with cancer now seek medical aid as soon as symptoms appear. Before the newspapers began to aid in deseminat- ing medical information, less than . three percent sought medical aid in time. The old notion that a doctor . should not give information to the press, because of an ancient and foolish code of ethics, was criticized by Dr. Bloodgood, who be- lieves that the public should be told in plain language whatever the doctor has to tell. Referring to the importance of giv- ing attention to the teeth, he said: “Let the press continue its work, Let it advise every man and woman over 40 to have their teeth X-rayed twice a year. Bad teeth are the most common causes of break- down”. Turough preventive measures the span of human life has been greatly lengthened in recent years, and it should be. gratify- ing to newspapermen to have had an im- portant part in bringing about this highly important result. It's funny, with all the poor poetry that’s going around, that no one ever thought of killing two bards with one stone.—-Boston Evening Transcript.

Happenings Here Just 10 Years ‘Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen That Mayor Frank H. Ladd is enthusiastic over the road to the mainland is evidenced by an inter-_ view published in Havana by the leading newspaper in that city rel- ative to the road that was given out by Mayor Ladd who is in Ha- vana with the boy scouts. ~The interview was given out by the Associated Press, and publishéd in the United States. Work on the municipal golf course is progressing rapidly and! it is now believed that the links will be cleared for play before the close of the next winter sea- son. The dragline excavator, which cost the city more than $10,000 is proving its worth, the dragline buckets carrying {three quarters of a cubic yard of earth and stone with such ‘apparent ease that many citizens have visited the} course to see the machine work. That business with Cuba is on. the increase is evidenced by the fact that the two large seagoing ferries of the F. E. C. Car ferry company which left here last night} for Havana carried more than one thousand tons of freight. large ocean going ferries are now making daily trips between this port and Cuba, An announcement of the John L.
