4 ARIFF BENEFICIARIES
ASKING INCREASE

Until President Harding directed
the Tariff Commission to study the
effect which the duty of 1.7648
cents a pound having on the
present prohteering in sugar prac-
tically every request for applica-
ton of the "elastic" provision of
the Fordney-McCur-er er law, to
existing tariffs originated with in
dividuals or interests which vast
higher rates ad additioal "protec-
ton.
The first efforts of the Commits
sion, therefore, will be principally
at the instance Of those who are
already benehciaries of the Repub-
lican tariff law but who are not
satisfied. There have been fe wap-
rlications for a reduction of rates
becaus the consumers upon whom
he heavy tariff taxes fall are not
organized and alert as the big
special interests are. In conse-
quence, it is felt that even if
the Commission we're willing to
decrease rates it would have be-
fore it only a small number of
duties which significantly affect
the cost Of food, clothing, medi-
cine, etc.
In the list Of seventeen artic-
eles upon which the Commission
is about to initiate inquiries there

Judge Crisp was a visitor IN
Vienna, Dooly county, last week
and the editress of the News threw
him this bouquet, which was de-
served, as he is thought much of
all over the Third district. The
News says:
Congressman Crisp was an ap-
preciated visitor here yesterday.
Mr.. Crisp's friends who are legion
in Dooly, are always delighted to
see him. He has proved himself
good congressman, but better still
he has proved himself a real man,
who loves his friends not for what
they do for him politically, but be-
cause they are his felow-mcn."

The Butler Herald reports far
mers to Taylor are taking advan-
tage of the opportunity get fer
til.zer by laying in a supply for
monster cotton crop this year,
thereby taking long chances. The
Herald says:
Judging by the amount of COM
merical fertilizer being hauled out
by farmers the crop of cotton to be
planted in Taylor county this year
will be unusually large, but when
you consider that it is the first
year in many when but few far
mers were able to secure any fer
tilizer at all, the amount is not
surprisingly large. In fact, ac-
cording to best reports, most OF
the fertilizer is for peach trees
and food crops of all kind. While
some cotton will and must be
planted, it has been long time
since prospects were as encourag-
ing to the farmers as a rule as they
are this year and they are bend
ing every effort in this section to
get the weight Of debt off their
shoulders that has rested there so
heavily for so long. They have grit
and determination to win and will
do so if given an opportunity.
Cotton is going to be strictly the
money crop in Taylor county this
wear. while food crops holds the
balance of power"

The many friends of DR.. J. H.

Such, however, is the case, remark
able as it may appear.
Mrs. w. J. Slappey returned last
night from Rome, where she has been

Mabel Knew

MabePs mother had caught cold
and as a precautionary measure had
resorted to that oId-fashioned rene
dy-a glass of hot whiskey. A little
later, Mabel, aged five, was ready
for bed and as she kissed her mother
a look of reproach crept into her
eyes. Mother she said solemnly,
you've been using fathers per
fume."

STARTING RIGHT
HOW WILL 1T END?

The $28,oOO,OOO heiress to the
John w, Gates fortune starts
housekeeping in a $5O-a-month
fiat. She and her cartoonist-hus-
mand, Lester Norris, move into this
small apartment on Main Street of
the brides home town, St. Charles
i'll.
Veterans married people, re-
calling their own honeymoons, will
say. "It won't make much diffre.
ence where they are, whether Iiv-
ing in a palace or a hovel-untiI
the honeymoon is over, at least"
Usually it makes lot of differ
ence after the honeymoon. But
there are some mighty happy
American families in $50 flats.
And some mighty unhappy ones
in palaces. Home is where the
hearts is.
We like this girls spirit-be-
ginning her real career in a hum
bic fiat despite her being heiress
to $38, 100000.
There's something whole-hearted
American about it. Not that the
average American, heir to such a
tremendous fortune, would be con
tent with $50 apartment. (Would
youPl But it's a curious and demo-
cratic. spectacle that would happen
in few, if any other countries.
Democracy is instilled pretty
deeply into Americans. 1t seems to
be in the very air. You catch this
occasionally in the news such
things as millionaires going to the
circus or movies, enjoying a sack
of peanuts, or Henry Ford and
wife calling each other "pa" and
ma. ,,
The real snobs are in the third
way class between people of
moderate means and folks of big
wealth.
And speaking of snobs, we're de-
veloping peculiar type in our
country-an aristocracy of shifting
intellectuals, so-called. Worship of
things that hearsay brands as
"high-brow," in other words.
You wonder how much iris heir
ess' decision was swayed by her
less wealthy artoonist-husband in
the matter of the $50 fiat. It's a
safe bet that hen pay the rent and
SO on, out of his own income.
That's American, too You don't
catch impoverished European "no-
blemen" showisg any carvisg for
$50 flats when trey marry American
heiresses. Generally they want
transfer OF part of the estate be-
fore sharing their title.
The best part of this $50 flat
tory will come later, when time
reveals how long before the $50
fat story will come later, when
time reveals how long before the
$50 fat gives the rich bride ennui.
She's plucky American, though,
to take a crack at it."

A Taking Girl

She took my hand in sheltered hooks,
She took my candy and my books,
She took that lustrous wrap of fur,
She took those gloves bought for her
She took my words of love and care,
She took my flowers, rich and rare,
She took my ring with tender smile,
She took my time for quite a while.
She took my kisses, maid so shy
(She took, I must confess, my eye)-
She took whatever I would buy,
And then she took another guy.

ordinary Opaque animals the color
markings are symmetrical on both
sides of the body. but this is not the
case with transparent cells. When
looked at from one side these cells
appear to have seven large black spots
arranged at nearly regular intervals
along the length of their bodies; clos
err examination shows that in each
case three spots are on the left side
and four on the right side. They are

all seven appear in a symmetrical
