GETTING UP EARLY

To Hobrook people who are accustomed to rising be- fore with the sum- the early morning hour is the finest time of day It has rich quality that other hour owns It is then that the day is received fresh from the creator, clean, keen-cut and sparkling jewel The early morning hour has a stiffness, freshness, sweetness and fragrance that all it's To know what beauty is must be up before sunrise and wit ness the slow and stately approach of the day. the derul shifting of coors in the east and the splendid itself as 1t emerges.
 At time do birds sing So earnestly and hoyously as in the morning We do not all react to the sights and sounds of nature alike but it is a sad-hearted and mighty citizen who can't feel sort of npra ton by watching the wonderful sight of rising sum- We have reached the hot months when fellow likes get every minute of sleep that he feels is coming to him. And we don't blame him. But if you will in- qure of the who rise early youlqucky find out that it is good remedy for being able to sleep soundy They go through the whole day feeling fit and ne and when darkness comes sleep 10 them natural could have been intended
 Don't take anyone's word for it, but get n the habit of early rising yourself and it doesn't benefit you Hard may be at first to accustom yourself to sacr fcing whole hour sleep in the morning honestly be- lieve you will find it paying investment Just gancing healthy friends from the rural communities who have always been early risers we're quite you can do the same thing with profit.

IT'S UP TO US

It's up us, every individual of us to make condi- tions better around Hobrook and to keep them We still take individual losses during the period of readjustment, and keep pushing It won't do any good to try to stop things they moving in this countryit can't be done We have to go on and all of must take oss keep spirits up and be thankful things daily growing better There places where way cut corners in expenses, where money may saved perhaps But when is saved avaleth little if not wise enough to put where it will pay in interest.
 Maybe there improvements needed about the house You can't afford to cut corners here You can't afford to let your home down by promising yourself you'll make the improvents next year. Next year the mere fact that you left off the improvement when they needed reduce the value of the house. The better your home the better you will and your family will feel and the better price you will receive for it you should ever want to dispose of it.
 It's all right and fine thing economize but don't pratcce false economy Do about the house your business place the things that need to be done And t when every individual starts in to practice this that wei will find ourselves again facing the kind of conditions we are now sitting around and hoping for.

BREAKING THE TAXPAYER

The papers full of proposals of how to raise money for expense both state and national by various forms of taxation The whole thought to be and Our taxes have been ncreas ing at much rapid than wealth and popu- laton
 The new methods of taxation that are invented and the higher the burden boosted the less and less business eventually be done f0 money being drv en into taXexempt securities the funds from which spent in governmental activity which requires the col lection of the taxes, and not and productive en- terprise.
 We have this work with our excess profit and surtax the of wealth which formerly produc ed this tax and drying up It all right to talk about taxing wealth and the big interests but when you have taxing wealth and the big interests but when you have taxed this capital of existence who carries the tax load that has been built upthe burden falls millions of ordinary citizens who still mantang homes and business.
 Instead of studying ways to increase revenue through forms of taxation, it should be the aim of every honest public official to study methods of reducing the tax burden in proportion to the reduced cost of living and commodity prices and rerenchment in every line of industry. Unless this is done in systematic manner there will be public reaction day agant oppressive tax burdens which will shake the very foundation of our government.
