Lame Back First Sign

real callous on the right.
Can you beat the thrill that
comes with muddy finger
nails - that comes Sunday
evening when you hear the
call for dinner and, with an
appetite like spare-ribbed
horse, straighten out your
back, put the garden fork In
the wOOdshed and make for
the wash bowl?
Then you double up your
arm and ask the good wife to
feel where the muscle ought
to be and she laughs and says
she's sure she can detect o
hard lump growing. Then
you're proud, and feel like a
. new man.
Good plain dirt, it seems, is an
intoxicant. If you're peevish, OF
disgruntled, or IL you think the
worlds all out of shape, dive into
It up to your arm pits. Old moth.
err earth is great giver Of
strength and contentment.
Do you know the best way tc
plant spuds, or peas, or beans, OF
onions? Neither do l, but we're
learning.
The only trouble is all the
neighbors and friends who know
how have different ways of doina
It. And most of them are differ
ent from what Cable Cole, the
county agriculturist says.
One OF my friends says plant
spuds four inches deep; another
says plant them down as far al
you can dig.
I'm splitting the difference, and
they've gotta grow!
One of my friends says I should
have planted my seeds long ago
that some of his stuff is three OIL
four inches above the ground al
ready. Another one says it's wise
to wait until the warm sun rays
can have a chance to drift down
II Weather Man Cover will ever
slip up on his representations =
and make fire to keep the baby
seed warm. I'm splitting the diff
ference and planting right now.
They've gotta grow.
There's only one thing
that's been puzzling me.
Will all the increased appe-
titles cOunteract the surplus
food production of war pre-
paredness? (I'm having an
awful time right now to keep
from eating my seed potatoes.
But don't think so-not IL you
and ! stick to the job, pull weeds,
keep the hoe from rusting and lend
each other the neighborly help and
advice that is needed for unpre-
pared preparedness.
Got a crook in your back? Well,
there'n a swell chance tonight to
march 1t out. Seven o'clock is the
time-at Ninth and Pacific.

Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the
federal trade commission, today gave
the demands of his private business in
Chicago as the only reason for resigna-
ton from the commission. He denied re-
ports that he was getting out because
of differences with other commissioners
over the conduct of the news print paper
and other investigations.
Nothing but business in pulling me
away" he said Il am building an ad-
dition to one of my manufacturing plants
in Chicago and I want to be on the job.
This is the time for the captain to stick
to the bridge"
The resignation will take effect Febru-
airy l. Although the President has ac-
cepted it. it is understood that he will
make an effort to have Mr.. Hurley recon-
slider his action. If Mr.. Hurley insists
that he must leave, Commissioner Will
liam ]. Harris. who is vice chairman.
automatically will succeed him.
When Mr.. Hurley leaves there will be
two vacancies on this governmental
trade body Commissioner Rublee left
when the Senate failed to confirm his
nomination.
Mr.. Hurley's wide business knowledge
has been regarded as of great value to
the coiiiillSSioH III IT'S business luNeStl-
cations. Recently the chairman has de-
voted much time to a study of business
accounting system;. The commission is
working out now j system of standard
iZing accounts.
Foreign trade promotion also has
drawn considerable attention from Mr..
Hurley. He is strong advocate of CO.
operation in foreign trade, and had much
to do with drawing the bill now pending
in Congress to permit combinations of
American exporters to obtain foreign
business.
