CORN ON THE COB

What is the typical American dishf

Funded on wheat cakes. A variant OF
this opinion appears on occasional
Lonodn menus, where buckwheat cakes
and pOached eggs are featured as our
national dish. Enrique Blanco made a
tour Of this country and, he reports,
reached the firm. unsuitable con-
clusion that Americas typical dish is
mashed potatoes and gravy" The FL

There Is merit In all these answers,
and they carry evidence Of acute OBJ
seryation and straight thinking. What
they lack, one and all, Is an adequate
and indigenous historical background
The typical American dish Of today is
just what II was a hundred. a thou

II is sweet corn on the cob. The

Tearing Down VS.. Building.

Bickering, fault finding and back
biting will retard the growth of any
town or city. There can never be
any lasting prosperity where these
factors are uppermost in the minds
of a considerable portion of the
people.
Consideration and energetic CO.
operation will materially advance the
interests Of any community These
form the groundwork Of all great
municipalities.
Natural advantages have much
to do with community achievement,
but natural advantages alone will no.
suffice. Cooperation is an essential
element. but it never marches side
by side with fault finding and bick-
ering. The latter are destroyers,
not builders; they tear down instead
of building up.
Possibly we are not overburdened
with the destroying element in this
community, but such as we have is
entirely too much.
Community advancement means
personal security to the individual
and this is best achieved through en-
ergedc and persistent cooperation.
Tearing down or building up
which side are you identified with?

NEW AUTO LICENSE RATE
BOOK OUT.
Secretary of State has Compiled a
Wisconsin Rate Book to Guide
License Applicants.

Misunderstanding of State Fred
R. Zimmerman, has compiled a book
giving the weight of practically all
makes of motor vehicles. Want of
such book last year caused a
great deal of confusion, much dis
satisfaction and considerable delay.
This book will be the standard upon
which rates will be based in 1925.
The license fee under the rate in
the new book is higher in many
instances than the one collected in
1924. This is due to the fact that
in 1924, the rate was based upon the
shipping weight and not on the road
weight, as provided by law. The
weight law was passed so late in
1923, that there wasn't sufficient
time to prepare a schedule of road
weights and the Secretary of State
was obliged to accept the shipping
weight as the basis for licensing.
The shipping weight never included
the battery, gas, oil, water and
accessories, which in many cases is
sufficient to make a difference of
from one to two dollars in the fee.
The new rate .book will be dis
tributed to all dealers, police depart
ments, county clerks, banks and
post offices. Mr.. Zimmerman an
nounced that every effort is now
being made to prepare for the
prompt handling of all applications.
He cautioned applicants to be careful
to answer every question, and to
give the motor number, weight,
model, style and last years license
number. He also declared that
75ee of the delays last year were
due to error made by the APP
plicant-generally in his post office
address

WATER POLLUTION

Though many realize that pollution
of the water resources of the United
states. both Inland and coastwise, pre-
sents serious aspects In many locali-
ties. few probably appreciate that II
constitutes one Of the countrys most
Important problems. Yet this was the
way In which Herbert Hoover, secre-
tary Of commerce, designated the sit
uatlGn in an address before the sixth
annual congress Of the United States
Fisheries association at Atlantic CITY,
n !. Pollution, he pointed out, comes
from a hundred different sources, and
exists IN different waters in varying
degrees, ships factories, coal mines,
chemical works. cities and towns all
contributing their quotas toward the
destructive results in question II is
gratifying that an essential step has
been taken in the prevention Of oil
pollution from ships, but far more ac-
tlon needs 10 be taken in other re-
spects than has been taken in the past.
AS Mr. Hoover urged. we must not
only halt other forms OF destruction,
but We must start rehabilitation"

Misers Of the old school seem to be
rather more numerous IN New Jersey
than anywhere else. Whether this Is
because there is little worth doing with
money in the state or for some other
reason Is as yet undlsclosed, but the
misers are so numerous there that kill
ing them for their hidden treasures Is
a favorite and almost regular occupa-
ton Of some of the local murderers.
The latest victim Of miserliness and
the distrust of banks happens to have
been man, but rather more often 1t
is woman who shows the strange
preference for money to those simpler
comforts Of life that for normal folk

Child welfare, which is promised
special and prompt consideration by
congress when 1t returns, is receiving
great deal Of attention from the
state legislatures. Many legislatures
have recently provided for state child
welfare commissions, and In num-
Der Of states the laws have authorized
the organization of county welfare
commissions. A phase of this welfare
interest that has appeared In several
recent laws is the "chlldren's code com.
mission" This Is body created by
the legislature to study child welfare
and to suggest a revision in codlfied
form of all the states laws relating
to children. Among the states that
have recently created children's code
commissions are New York, Pennsyl-
vanla. Delaware, Maryland, Florida,
Kentucky. North Dakota and Utah.

Many now lIving can recall when
railroad building was in its infancy.
People hltched up Dohbin and drove
twenty miles or more to see their first
train. Today our country has two and
a half miles of railroad for every 1000
Americans. Total trackage is more
than 264,000 miles. Practically all Of
this has come In 70 years. With this
precedent It's a Bit dangerous TO pre-
dict that the airplane will never come
into con,aon use by the people. Air
planes are no more remarkable to us
than steam trains were to grandpa.

PHILOSOPHY
BY Uncle bud.

Uncle bud Says: After all the
political hot air that floated around
the people decided to keep cool
with Coolidge. Scientists tell US
that an ants brain is the size of
needle head but we know uncles who
fall short Of even that"
People who tell all they know
never know all they tell.
People who are always prone
to give advice usually have little
else to offer.
It's hard to help the other fellow
carry his load when you find that
his bottle is empty.
A lot of politicians who put in
the last couple of months on the
stunp are now up a tree.
A 40-watt lamp will light up a
12x14 room but it takes a match to
light up an old maids face,
They tell us that the average
life of flea is thirty days. But
he sure makes every minute count.
It is not hard to learn to write
shorthand. The main difficulty is
in finding someone who can read
it.
The race is not always to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong
except in the case of the flea and
limburger cheese.
The fellow who persists in
standing on the running board of
the car of progress usually ends
up by going under the wheels.
1t may be neighborly to tell
some other nation how to run its
affairs-but the usual neighborhood
row may result.
When a man tells you that he
goes to bed at ten bells you may
be sure that he has no radio set
or has had one for a long time.
1t is often the case that people
who are vociferous in calling out
the vote before election put in
much of their time bawling out the
goat" afterwards.
This may be the electrical age
but we notice that people make
way-and give the same old excuses
for doing so.
The political machine is like
most other things-takes lots OF
gas to run it.
If you want the public's biz
Advertise;
If you want to see things whizz,
Advertise.
Do not sit with folded mitts,
Use you think-tank, use your
wits;
"Them as advertises, gits!"
Advertise.

DON'T QUIT

II one black eye will make you
quit you'll never win the fray; if
one defeat takes all your grit you're
down and out to stay. Life is a
game that calls for pluck-the viii
to plug away-when weaklings
from the conflict duck disheartened
by the fray. For thirty years
Joe Teany stopped misfortune's
every blow; the winners prize he
never copped-he lost to every foe.
But through it all he fought along,
though bloody was his head; he'd
carol forth joyful song-no
gloomy "Uncle Ned. Each time
misfortune soaked his bean or
poked him in the ear he came right
back for more, ween, with meier
a cringe of fear. And then one
day came his reward, he laid mis-
fortune low; he stretched the old
dame on the sward with one great
crashing blow Since then he's
basked beneath the rays of for
tunes smiling sun, while all the
craven-hearted jays blame luck for
what he's done. And so, my
friend, I say to you fight on,
though things look drear; each day
will bring its battles new, go meet
them without fear You'll win the
fight if you are game, on that I'll
bet my pile; and as you mount the
hill of fame you'll wear the victor's
smile. Great men ne'er won their
favored place by lodging sundry
foes; they met old Trouble face to
face and banged him on the nose.

Issue With Cramton.
The letter, addressed to Senator
Smoot republican, Utah, one of the
conferees on the Interior Department
appropriation bill, takes issue with
statements made recently on the
ton, republican, Michigan, chairman
OF the subcommittee which drafted
the bill.
The bill originally carried 100000
county, Ariz., of Bright Angel trail,
with the stipulation that the money
was to be expended by the county to
improve the highway between the
Santa Fe trail and the south rim of
the canyon. The provision was elm
mated by the Senate, after which Mr..
Cramton made his charges against
Senator Cameron. No agreement has
been reached by the Senate and
House conferees as to the provision.
Commenting further on the Cram
ton charges and the original House
provision, Senator Cameron, in his
letter, dated March 5, says:
Holds Proposal Illegal.
ut also has been said that the
water from the two springs on the
Bright Angel trail has been polluted
by typhoid germs. Title to one of
these springs is in the county OF
Coconino, Ariz., the other in Il min
ing location in which I have had no
interest for many years.
" wish to add, further, should the
100000 be paid to the county of
Coconino, as proposed by this legis-
lation, the whole amount thereof
could not be applied to the building
of the proposed road under the laws
OF the state of Arizona.
