and young man who work in the same
neighborhood often find it convenient
to meet each other after business
hours for dinner or the theater. It
would be absurd to insist that they
have to meet then in the young
Woman's home. But one or two simple
rules ought to be observed in this mat
ter Of meeting outside of ones own
home. A young man ought never to
set a time for such a rendezvous at
an hour when he is not sure to be
free. He should always strive to be
at the appointed place in advance of
the time set, so that the young girl
will not be the one kept waiting. The
young woman, on the other hand,
while she should not keep the young
man waiting, should not arrive ahead
of time.
It is never in good form to make
your rendezvous hotel lobby or re-
ceptlon room unless you are planning
to have luncheon or dinner there.
There are some people, to be sure.
who, make use of the hotels in this
way, bur it is in rather poor taste.
Even when planning to meet d young
woman for luncheon or dinner at a
hotel it is better to arrange to meet
her in the reception room than in the
lobby where she must usually walk or
stand or at least encounter something
of crowd.

appointment with a young woman,
meets her at her own nome, and
escorts her from thence to their desti-

that they make their rendezvous

However, for practical purposes this
rule cannot always be carried out. The
busy young man, who works at some
distance from the residence section Of

unable to take the time needed to go
to a young woman's home and then
accompany her to the theater or party

no very sensible reason why he should
not feel free to ask the young woman

Nearer and nearer crept Tim until
he was close to the Goblin Circle hid
den behind a bush on top Of rock.
The COLLINS antics were so funny
that Tim forgot he was hiding, and
when one little Goblin stood on the
head of another and jumped with a
funny twist of his queer little body.
Tim laughed out loud and tumbled off
the rock right into the Goblin Circle.
The dance stopped and all the Cob
Inns fell upon poor Tim and before he
knew what was happening; he was no
longer big lazy Tim; he was little
Goblin just like the others.
AS there were no lazy COLLINS Tim
had to work. They made him jump
and dance, they made him roll big
rocks and open the doors to their rock
houses, and finally when the dance
was over they carried him off to their
underground homes and set him to
work.
OF course, they all worked, too, but
to Tim, who had never worked, it
seemed there was no time to rest.
How long he stayed with the Cob
Inns he could never tell, but one night
when they all came out of the rocks
for dance in the Circle, Tim waited
until they were busy hopping and
jumping and he took to his heels and
off he ran.
He was almost home before he no

Goblin Circle, but he was no longer
Lazy Tim, for, now he was home once
more, he felt sure that his lazy habit

their power again, but he did not

Martha of Bethany, according to

her family was making journey

Martha, Matty and Patty Though by
rights, the last named is a diminutive
of Patricia and not connected with

Martha is considered the true house

THE COLLINS CIRCLE

once in a far-off land there lived
~ band Of COLLINS, and once every
year on night when the moon was
full these COLLINS held a dance in the
Goblin Circle.
The Goblin Circle was a round, bare
spot in the middle of the woods and
on particular night, called COLLINS
Night by the magic people. at the full
of the moon, any one who entered this
circle other than the COLLINS was in
stantly changed from his own shape
to that of little Goblin.
All the Fairies and the Elves and
the Pixies and Gnonles and other
magic folk on COLLINS Night kept far
away from Goblin Circle. for none of
them wished to become Goblin.
Now not far away from Goblin Cir

did not help his mother, who was

while his mother worked in the fields
or tended the sheep.
But as soon as it was meal time Tim
was nimble enough, for he was always
hungry, but if he was asked to bring
in some wood or draw a pail of water
Tim was so slow that his mother often
did it herself rather than wait for the
slow Tim to bring it.
On one bright moonlight night Tim

| per cent to any railroad in the coun-
try. If, in the face Of constant gov
ernmental regulation and revision Of
rates and wages any railroad is so
marvelously well managed as to ba
able to show a net return of 81 per
cent with which to pay interest on it's
bonds, ETC., it is, under the Esch- Cum
minis act, entitled to the 81 per cent,
but no more, no matter how efficiently
| it may be managed. Thus, while the
Esch-C ummins act limits the possible
net earnings of the railroads to
maximum of 81 per cent, it no more
guarantees anything to the railroads
than the Volstead law guarantees one
half of one per cent alcohol to the
users of near beer.
We are further told that the rail-
road stocks are largely ''water" and
that the poor, longsuffering public is
expected to guarantee 81 per cent
return to this water" This charge
is also false.
The physical valuation, without ref
erence to stocks or bonds (capitaliza-
tion), made under the LaF GILLETTE valua-
ton law of 1913, plus actual cash in
vestments made since, less deprecia-
ton, is greater than their capitaliza-
ton by millions of dollars. In other
words, there is no room for the al
legged ''water" in the railroads even
under the Eighteenth amendment.
It may be true that shady deals in
over-capitalization (watering) of rail-
road securities may be proved in some
notorious instances, but these cases
should be specifically named and con-
demned without involving all the rail-
roads. 1t is unjust to make sweep
ing generalization preparing to depreci-
ate the value of railroad securities to
the value of German marks, a process
which amounts to ruthless confscation
Of the property of railroad stock and
bond holders. Russian soVietism goes
no further than this.
A further lie against the railroads
that deserves to be nailed is the
charge of excessive freight rates, OF
rates so high as to rob the farmer
and other producers and the consumer
alike.
Records show that the average
freight rates on western railroads are
only about 40 per cent higher than
they were seven years ago, while wages
are 80 per cent; taxes 90 per cent;
fuel 100 per cent higher than they
we're at that time. Stories of freight
rates higher than the total price re-
ceived for wheat, etc, are pure bum
| combe. In January, 1929 wheat was
slips a bushel at Minneapolis, that
is. 40 cents higher than in 1918. The
freight rate from points as far as
South Dakota was only four to Eve
cents higher than In 1913.

Believe 1t Or
Not!

WAYCROSS, May Whether
or not q tcetotally live frog can
make his home in a human being is
highly debatable question, but that
is what Wilbur Burton, / 8 year old
rGgro, OF COS Daniels street, as
serted and what is more ne pro-
duced the frog as evidence.
Although his listeners were some
what incredulous of his story they
asked him to proceed, and he did.
He said the frog hoped out of the
mouth of his aunt, Corinne Greene,
% year old negro woman of sos
Daniels street, following a series of
paroxyisms.
"She began to feel that some
thing was hopping up and down IN
her throat" he declared. owe went
to the drug store and got some medi-
cine and gave it to her. She coughed
up several bugs and then heaved up
the frog. She's pretty sick right
now, but she may get better.
The boy, who was accompanied
by Alex Edwards, 20 year old ne
gro who works at Cady's stave
mill, and lives at 1925 Folks street,
produced a large live toad frog,
in a fruit jar and six or eight in
sects in a bottle.
The story as given by Burton was
corroborated in all Of its essential
points by the other who came with
him.

This fact is made plain by sur
vey which has just been completed
by a special committee Of econo-
mists engaged by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace.
The prospect with reference to
the supply Of farm products for
the coming year is that at least
there will be no reduction in out
put in he United States" says
the report Of these economists.
with some overflowsof the bust
ness activity of the United States
to the rest of the world particular
ly the non-European part Of the
world, the prospect would rather
be for some increase in the pro
duction Of foods in foreign coun-
tries. We cannot therefore con
fdently offer any reason for the
expectation that our farmers will
meet any less severe competition
in European markets, during the
coming year than they have met
during the last year"
These experts say in effect that
surplus products Of the farm win
have to be sold abroard in compe-
tition with the agricultural output
of Canada, South America, Asia,
and Europe, and that the price
will be fixed in a market over
which the Republican tariff does
not and can not exert the slightest
influence. The experts might
haxe added That he American far
mer will be selling all his pro-
ducts whether at home or abroad
at prices fixed in the foreign mar
ket, while he will be buying much
of his food and all Of his clothing
furniture, hardware, implements,
building materials, and other nee
essaries at costs dictated by the
profteers' tariff.

Pure Logic

The amateur gardener scratched his
head,
"This thing is too much for me, ,"
he said,
81 plant tomatoes,
Green peas, potatoes,
Lettuce and beans, to meet our
needs;
treat 'em kind
AS I ought to do,
But all I find M.
When the seasons through,
Is a bean or two and a lot of weeds"
The amateur gardener thought and
thought
On why his gardening came to
nought;
From cerebration
An inspiration
Came suddenly into his puzzled brain
Then he gave a wink
And he cried, I'm sore
That | didn't think
Of that thought before,
A logical plan that is safe and sane"
So the amateur gardener bought the
seeds
Of all the different sorts of weeds,
He planted thistles
And things with bristles.
And all plant pests he had heard
about;
Thin corn and peas,
Potatoes 100,
And plants like these
Sprang up and grew
Till they'd cooked the weeds and the
thistles out!
