ICE SKATING RINk9

Who is going to- build an ice
skating rink for the youngsters
this fall? A number OF people
suggested one last fall, but no one
started anything. A number of
good places are available in diff

skating pond could be made with
very little effort, If someone with
a little pep would start the ball
rolling.

1t is encouraging to note that
progress is being made on the
project to open a diagonal street
from the Boulevard to Main
street on the north and to re-
build South Main Street from
the brick to the Boulevard on
the South. This will give a
thOroughfare thru Smyrna's
business and residential section
easy of access to tourists at all
times and is the only possible
move Smyrna can make to draw
this tourist transient trade. The
citizens meeting before Council
recently demonstrated, in no un-
certain tones, what Smyrna bus
mess men think of the project.
The sentiment was practically
unanimous for a direct route
right thru the heart of Smyrna.
There was some talk of opening
North and Mt. Vernon Streets.
This will come in time but the
thing uppermost in the minds of
citizens is to get the Main street
and Commerce street approaches
properly fixed at first. Streets
must necessarily be opened as
fast as the town grows and we

Instead of an organized labor
alliance with the farmer a new
idea has been sprung, that of a
banker-farmer alliance. The new
combination will involve cooper
ative marketing and greater di-
versifcation and business effici-
ency on the farm. Bankers have
prOfited by farm bank deposits,
farm bank loans, and in turn
have helped farmers improve
their live stock and purchase
labor saving machinery. And
farmers are not naturally social
lists. Upon a statement of it's
belief in three fundamental agri-
cultural Observation-Disclosures,
sound cooperative marketing
and improvement of unit effici-
ency on the farm-the agricul-
tural commission of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association has
built a plan for bringing the
farmer and the banker into an
alliance of understanding and
mutual assistance in every part
of the country. Features of the
plan include organization OF
bankers committees on agricul-
ture in every federal reserve dis
trict, then by states and then by
counties or groups of counties.
No single specific program will
serve for the whole community
But nationally and by states
bankers will be committed to
close cooperation with agricul-
tural colleges, to encouragement

posts, no chapters, no locals, no
taxpayers lodges. There are T.
100000 of him who pay Federal
income taxes and ten times as
many of him pay Federal taxes,

without an organization to camp

There are farm blocs, dry and

bloc in Washington.
Every gang of Treasury raid
ers organizes and goes after
what it wants. These deter
mined minorities, working un-
der high pressure, are usually
able to shove aside the majority
and take what they want.
That, exactly, is what is hap
pening in Washington now. A
stubborn minority is ready to
defeat a majority in the matter
of taxation. Secretary Mellon
has placed before the country a
plan whereby at least S3OO,0O0,-
900 a year can be cut from the
load of the taxpayer.
eff there was ever a majority
proposal, this is one. At Least
35,OOO,OOO Americans will be di
rectly aided, counting five per
sons to the average family. In
directly, it will help nearly every
citizen by easing the nationa
tax load. The vast majority de
mand these reductions. Ameri

plan is the first ray of sunshin

What stands in it's way? Jus
one thing-the soldier bonus
Tax reduction cannot be put in

future of this Nation is to g

Don't you know what a Gibus is?
Well. read on-that's how We found

What the occasion is for this re-

why there is a sudden demand for
the folding in-a-door hat isn't made
plain by the fashion authorities, who
vouchsafe us no other information
than that it is coming back.
But there is no constitutional
amendment to prevent us from con-
occurring. One theory is that if the
gentleman's hat is compressed into
small space he can shove it in his
pocket and thus save a check room

Another is that it makes a firm

presents difficulties in this respect.

to Have Nice
Flowers In House

BY the use of spring Towering
bulbs every one can have flowers
peeping through the snow in the
early spring until the h%erbaceous
perennials come into bloom. Nothing
can be more suggestive of spring
than to see winter aconite, snow
drops, glory-of-the-snow, squills,
guinea-hen flowers, crocus and grape
hyacinths appearing above the late
SHOWS. BY following these with hy-
aeinths, narcissi and tulips the spring
garden will be a joy instead of a sere
plot of ground.
Plant the small bulbs in drifts in
the perennial garden or naturaliZe
them in lawns. Large clumps are
best. Narcissi may be n%aturalized
among the trees and shrubs or in the
garden proper. If planted among
the peonies, the combination of the
narcissus foliage and flowers with
the reddish new growth of the peo-
MES is charming. Tulips may be
planted in masses; or, in clumps of
10 to 25 bulbs of selected varieties
are planted in the border, a SYM
phony of color may be worked out.
Bulbs may be planted up to the
time the ground freezes hard, and
even IdleT IL Il IlulCI - uSeu " pre-
vent deep freezing. Good drainage
is desirable. To secure uniform
bloom, the bulbs should be planted
at a uniform depth. TO do this, dig
out the bed to the depth desired,
place the bulbs in position and cover
them uniformly with soil, A dibble
may be used if it is thrust exactly
the same depth each time, but some
soil or sand must be put into the
bottom of the hole thus made, to
prevent an air space under the bot
tom of the bulbs.
The planting distance and depth
to cover the various bulbs is as fol-
lows: Chionodoxa and snow-drops,
cover 8 inches, 2 inches apart; GRO
Gus, cover 3 inches, 3 inches apart;
squills and grape hyacinths, cover a
inches, 3 inches apart; tulips, cover
4 inches, G inches apart; hyacinths
and narcissi, cover 5 inches, 6 inches
apart.
Care used in the depth and dis
lance of planting bulbs will often
save disappointment.

in the day time, and eats at regu-
lar periods, gains steadily and Is very
happy and %contented.
Many people who see her marvel

baby, but | have you to thank for
most of it. If it had not been
for your helpful advice l should
have done what most mothers do,
spoiled her until she required many

At the regular hours when 1 do
