Where Economy Begins

Herbert Hoover and other members of Hardngs cabinet
said to have told the president that the only to
the government upon economical basis is to reorganze
the governmental machinery by consolidating and eimn-
atng bureaus At the time secretary of the treasury
Mellon has issued appeal to- the people to economic and
Eso help government finances.
Reorganization of bureaus is necessity and the people
already forced to econez but the real must
be made by The cost of the civil but
IL of the total governmental expenditure the other
SO percent being for past and future All the consoda
ton possible for efficiency will not materially reduce the
overwhelming tax burden long there is practically

The administration will be saving at the bung hole while

millions upon building batteshps that obsolete before
completion and to maintain greater than the
need of the nation in times requires congress con-
tnues the insane program of building the greatest navy in
the world for peaceabe aggressive nation inspiring
other nations to emulate the action and Fastening new

Great Britain has stopped building batteshps to avoid

Johnnie Green Goes Hunting

When Tommy Fox discovered
old Mother Grouse crouched be-
meath the evergreen tree he grew
hungrier than ever. And he de-
cided that he would catch Mrs.
Grouse and eat her on the spot.
Tommy had never caught a
grouse. But his mother had
brought home some OF old Mother
Grouse's relations for him to eat;
and Tommy knew of nothing that
tasted any better.
He thought that old Mother
Grouse must be sleeping, she was
so still. And he did not mean
to wake her if he could help it
at least, not until he had caught
her. So Tommy flattened himself
out on his stomach and began to
creep towards her. very slowly and
very carefully. He didn't make
the slightest noisa. And soon he
had stolen so close to old Mother
Grouse that he was just about to
spring up and rush upon her. Then
all at once there was the most
terrible noise. 1t was almost as
loud as thunder. and it seemed
to Tommy that the ground was
rising right up in front of him.
He was so startled that ne U-rr
over backward. And his heart
thumped and pounded agaist his
ribs
The next moment Tommy Fox
felt very sheepish, for he realized
that the noise was nothing but
the beating of old Mother Grouse's S
wing against the air. And instead
of the ground rising, it was old
Mother Grouse herself who had
jumped up and sailed away. She
hadn't been asleep. She had seen
him all the time. And she had
just waited until she saw that
Tommy was trying to catch her
before she flew off.

Returning Spring

And hear the blackbirds on the

With, all their feathered conse-

Chattering and sputtering over

And getting mad and locking wings
And bills and feet, the way men

At times about some simple fact
Disputing one another there
As though the Lord on hign will

which one of them was fed the

or which one had the finest
nest.
II won't be long before wen see
The green returning TO the tree,
An over all our lives anew
Will stretch kindly sky OF blue;
The tulips will come springing up
To catch the sunbea ms in a cup
And everyone OF them will say.

We've had our sleep. and now We
rise.
Fresh messengers from heavenly
skies.
To carry beauty down below
For everyoi OF you to know.

AID start 10 laugh and race again
Down hillsides and the level plain,
Making their journey to the sea
Most human-like 1t seems TO me;
For we are headed seaward, too
zach morning here we wake anew
To toss and race ard move along
Towards that great numbered

Our lives with greater lives to

The old shotgun made a tre-
mendous roar. The woods rang
and echoed with the noise. And
Tommy Fox saw a cloud Of feath-
ers float down from the limb
where old Mother Grouse had been
sitting. But old Mother Grouse
herself flew away. The shot had
knocked out some of her tail
feathers, but hadn't hurt her al
all.
1t all happened very quickly,
And Tommy Fox felt himself lean
ing right in the air. He was So
frightened that he mad jumped
almost out of his skin. And he
ran, and ran faster than he had
ever run before in all his rather
short life.

A Delightful Trip
To Sumner County

On last Saturday afternoon my bet
ter-haf and / took passage with r.
w. Vantrease and family in his car
and headed for John Barrett's, in
Sumner county, 8 miles from Gala
tin, on the Coles ferry pike. We left
home at and arrived at Johns at
z o'clock. After resting a short while
Johns wife ordered US to the dining
room for supper and the table was
loaded with everything that strong
man or a sick man could eat. Next
morning John cranked his car for a
run over his magnificent farm of 260
acres. His crops were very fine and
his cate and stock of all kinds were
fat and sleek. The crops between
here and Sumner were looking good.
On Sunday, in the afternoon, we went
to Gallatin and over to Lock A and
while at the Lock there came a hurri-
cane that blew down trees and fright
ened us quite a little bit All the
crops we saw in Sumner looked fine,
the roads are excellent and the people
we met were very nice and pleasant.
And they seemed to think a great
deal of our John and his family. John
at present is engaged in the butcher
and truck business. He is a hustler
from the ground up. r. W. Vantrease
was at the steering wheel of his ''liz-
zie" and he never made a bobble and
landed US home safely. We cherish
this trip with pleasure.
