A HIT AT THE FARMERS

Republicans in congress are boasi
ing of great saving to the tax payers
by cutting down the appropriations for
various purposes. This may mean 4
saving in money, but IS not likely to
be construed as a Step forward in
this age of progress ani ger reraI
development Time lii tel
But in this play to the galleries, so
to speak, the republicans are silent in
seven languages On .Ie proposition
one of their leaders, Representative
McFadden, of PennSyi ana, recently
inaugurated to tax TIE Federal Land
Bank bonds and Ihn JOINT stock land
bank bonds, now exc /: ed. They ;a"e

the farmers to know that :he taxa tiCn

farmers who would pay this tax.
Democratic representatives direct
attention to the fact that such step
would cost the farmers of America
millions of dollars, and endanger, if
not destroy, the Farm Land bank sys-
tenn, one of the greatest blessings an
American congress has ever bestowed
on the farmer. If the McFadden idea
prevails and the exemption is removed,
it is believed that the Farm Land
banks will either have to go out Of
business, or raise the rate of interest
on loans to farmers.
1t will be remembered that when
democratic Congress established the
Land Bank system, farmers were pay
ing anywhere from eight 20 z'fteeI:
per cent on short term loans, which
they were often called upon 10 renew

AN OPEN LETTER
An Open Letter to the City Commits

An Open Letter to the City Commis-
j sioners:
Having read with interest Mr. &
II. Hudgins' letter published in tho
| Hustler a short time ago, 1 desire 70
express my approval of his suggestion
relative to parking automobiles on
Main street. Numbers of Others have
| also told me they approved of +bo
proposed change in handling Main
street traffic.
AS you know my business AFFORDS
me a splendid opportunity to observe
the Inconvenience incident to the
present system. Our visitors have a.
ways complained about it and do
think for obvious reasons you sboul6
consider their wishes as far as nossi-
BILE. Mr.. Hudgins discussed in a con-
vincing way the objection to the pres
ent practice, such as blocking the
street, increased danger, cars stand
ing in the hot sun, ETC., also the ad-
vantages to be derived from the nro-
posed change, such as shade. omen
street, comfort of visitors, popular1z-
ing the east side of Main street etc
so it is not necessary for me to dis
cuss these matters further.
The proposition l want to submit is
as follows, and l believe all of our
visitors and a majority of our citizens
will support it. If the City will order
a trial Of the proposed change I will
volunteer my personal services for as
many days as may be necessary to as
sist in instructing the public where
and how to properly park cars. I do
this not from any personal conside-
ration or profit to be gained, but pure
ly for the pride l have in the appear
ance of our town, and to help free i: |
from criticism and uncompIimentary
comment. l feel sure the change
would work an improvement not |
only in all the above mentioned par
ticulars, but in many others which |
have not been mentioned, when the |
public once becomes adjusted to it.
1 deny the charge, however, of az
tempting to park my car across the
car tracks when 1 go to Asheville, be-
cause 1 appreciate the opportunity of
getting to park at the curb like they
do in all other nice towns 1 have ever
been in except Hendersonville.
But in all seriousness, gentIemen, it
does seem a shame that all the cars
coming to town should be compelled
to stand all day long in the broiling
sun while so much good shade is going
to waste that would contribute much
to the comfort and pleasure of every
body.

THE PEOPLE WITH HIM

Discussing the League of Nations on
the eve of his departure iOr France
the second time President wilson
said an overwhelming majority Of the
American people were in favor of it
He was correct in that conclusion
prove that the president had read the
public mind Alright at that time. And
the sentiment has undergone no
change. His critics made desperate
efforts to make it appear that Mr..
Wilson had not correctly interpreted
the attitude of the American public.
but the people let it be known pretty
soon that IAN overwhelming majority
of them did favor the League anG
would stand squarely behind him in
his effort to bring lasting peace to a
SOrely troubled world.
In an effort to ascertain the views
of the people upon the League Cove
nant, in their respective communities,
a number of newspapers took STRAW
votes which resulted in finding as a
fact that three out of four persons
questioned had declared themselves
unqualifiedly in favor Of the League.
The ''feelers" sent out by the Literary
Digest was countrywide. To its in
quiry responses promptly came from
1887 editors, us Of these declared, in
positive terms, for Americas mem
bership in the League; 181 yt1ed
against it, and the remainder, ATS in
number, answered yes, condiron
ally which indicated that thev fav-
cred the Wilson plan with some
slight notifications.
The Digest's straw vote" of the
daily newspapers showed conclusive
ly that a substantial majority of
them, at the time, were unqualifiedly
for the League of Nations; that an
overwhelming majority favored it
with some amendments; that only
very small minority opposed Americas
entering the League, and that Presi-
dent had sized up the situation cor
rectly. The people were standing
with their leader then; they are with
him today. 81. H. sesF.. E

Fat And Fear

The reason why many individuals
are too fat and therefore physl-
cally inefficient, not to say unhappy,
is as plain as day. They eat toe
much, The majority of the fat ones
will Indignantly deny the allegation
and insist they eat less than lots OF
skinny folks. True enough, perhaps,
vet the fact remains that they eat too
much. No matter wha& the relative
size of the appetite may be, no mat
ter how birdfike the appetite, if the
weight is above the normal for age
and height, the individual certainly is
consuming more food than his sys-
tenn requires or can properly utilize,
and the excess is deposited as super
fluous flesh or fat This fat amounts
practically to Stacker tissue; 1T is
made up of fat cells, Stacker cells, cells
which do no useful work in the econ
omy, but are just a burden and a
handicap to the host.
Now the reason why so many people
accumulate excessive flesh after thirty

habits Of eating and exercise which
have been normal enough in early
Life but are not suitable for the later
years. Up to the age of thirty there
IS actually a greater food requirement
than after thirty. A growing youth
or girl needs and can metabo1ize or
utilize an actually greater daily total
OF food than a full grown adult. This
explains the enormous appetite of
many lank, lean, rapidly growing
youngster. The activities of such a
young person, and the heavy demands
OF energy for growth and building new
tissue naturally create the big demand

THEN AND NOW

Recent events and present condi-
tions in governmental affairs call to
mind some things written by John
Hay, President McKinley's great
Secretary of State. In his interesting
autobiography will be found the fol-
lowing, written ON April %, 1900, to
Richard Watson Glider. 1.-THE fact that
a treaty gives to the country a great
listing advantage seems to weigh moth
ing whatever in the minds Of abou,
half the Senators. Personal interests,
personal spites and a contingent
chance of a petty political advantage
are the only motives that cut any ice
at present, - = ...~..
Sometime later, when considering
his retirement because of Senate &C
tfOn, Mr.. Hay wrote: II shall be
sorry to part with the President (NIr.
Mckinley who has stood nobly by me
in everything, but there will always be
thirty-four percent of the senate on
the blackguard side of every ques-
tiOn that comes before them"
The timely utterances of Mr.. Hay
nearly thirty years ago are equally
true today. At that time he sum-
med up his opinion of the Senate as a
treaty making power in this humorous
language: "a treaty entering the
Senate is like bull going into the
arena-no one. can tell just how or
when the final blow will fall-but one
thing is certain-it will never leave
the arena alive"
In this connection we are reminded
of the statement of Senator Spooner,
of Wisconsin, in 1906 defending
President Roosevelt's foreign policy,
particularly in the sending of repre-
sentatives to the Algerian conference
to settle the Moroccan question. On
that occasion Senator SpoOner said:
From the foundation of the govern
ment it had been conceded in practice
and i'm theory that the constitution
vests the power of negotiation and. the
various phases of our foreign relations
exclusively in the President When

the President shall have Negotiated and
sent a proposed treaty to the Senate,
the Jurisdiction of this body attaches
and it's power begins.
The Senate had no right to interfere
with executive business then, nor has
it any business meGdIing with Presi-
dent Wilson's affairs today. However,
the people trust their president now,
as they did at that time. So let the
little fellow rave

A ''scrape" is hole which deer dig
