Respect Each Other.
A good workman has a profound re-
spect for ability as shown by another
man regardless of the others occupa-
ton or craft. The workers of the
world, the toilers, the achievers, rec
ognize instinctively the beauty and
dignity of labor and pay the fine trib-
ute that work well done deserves.
There is no greater Free Masonry than
the bond which unites a sincere
craftsman with his equally capable
fellow
Sir Christopher Wrenn, creator of
st. Paul's cathedral in London, and
one of the greatest architects of all
time, said he obtained his fine knowl-
edge of the builders art by mingling
and working with the craftsmen. Sir
Christopher, legend has it, made NOR
tar and placed brick, sawed beams and
with his bare hands helped others
swing them into place. In so doing he
gained the sympathy for labor's trials
that comes only by working with
things. And with that sympathy
for humanity and its patience, its
struggles to live and its sad end came
the fine vision to create st. Paufs "a
monument to the glory of God break
ing against the sky line of London.

Coming Through.
Our view is that people in trouble
such as might come to any of us APP
preciate deeply a little respect and
consideration. Hence we do not be-
lieve in making fun of a drunkard or
in unduly exposing him. We do not
favor writing salicious stories about
some choice bit of local scandal even
though it may be only too true. We
do not believe in breaking down the
reticences and reservations that sur
round humanity, no matter how low it
falls.
Hence we have not approved OF the
columns of newspaper stuff written
about Edward Sailstad and his "Sun-
shine Girl" Maudlin newspaper writ
ers, possessed of desire to feed pub
lie taste, pretend a lachrymose SYM
pathy. Actually, they leave no stone
unturned to bare everything in the
lives of these two people. And prob
ably all the couple asks is to be let
alone
But in any event, one thing is worth
noting After they had paid the price
and both were released from prison
Sailstad married his girl. To us there
is something a little fine about this.
We like to see two people who have
sinned together and paid a price to-
gether go ahead in legal and res
pectable way facing life. And we hope
their years will be happy and peace
full, the world allowing them to live
their lives without hindrance or pry-
ing inquiry, supervision or inspection.

A SELF EVIDENT FACT

"The levy of an income tax, at
proper rates, is fair and economi-
calIy sound means Of raising the i'm
mense revenues required for opera
ton Of the government" says Sec
retary Of the Treasury Mellon. "But
the tax must not be levied at rates
so high as to hamper business,
sian initiative, distort invest
ment and encourage avoidance Of
the tax.
eff the position of the income tax
is to be made secure, we must prove
its essential integrity. We must give
to the country law which closes
the most obvious doors Of escape
from taxation without at the same
time exposing the law to contempt
by loading it with complicated pro-
visions unsuccessful in stopping tax
avoidance. Our present law has
many Of these defects"
He said a taxable investment
should yield a return Of about per
cent to equal the net return of a
A1-2 per cent tax-exempt security.

WEATHER INSURANCE
TAKES MANY FORMS

Insurance against unfaVorable
weather is issued in many forms and
is becoming an important branch Of
the insurance business, according
to the Weather Bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The Oldest line of distinctly weather
insurance in the United States is
hail insurance on growing crops.
Kansas, North Dakota, and Iowa
lead in the use Of hail insurance,
having half the hail risks in this
country, which totaled $4O,0O0,000 in
1924.
WindstOrm and tornado insurance
premiums now amount to more than
$50, 100000 annually. Since the tor
nado near Lorain, Ohio, in 1924, and
others in Illinois and Indiana this
year, the demand for insurance pro-
lection against windstorm damage
has doubled. Some banks and mort
gage companies now require wind
storm policies as well as fire poll
cies before making loans.
Rain insurance differs from other
forms Of weather insurance in that
it does not cover property damage.
It is especially designed for events
or business enterprises dependent on
public patronage which would be
greatly reduced in bad weather. A
policy may cover as short period
as three hours-time enough for a
ball game, a track meet, fashion
show or an exhibit. Fair managers
and retail stores advertising special
sales frequently take out rain insur-
ance for a single day.
Frost insurance for fruit trees is
the alternative to the cost and Ia
Dor of orchard heating. 1t seldom
pays to go to the expense Of both.
General crop insurance has not yet
become we'll established, but is prac-
ticed to some extent. Damage by
lightning is usually included in fire
insurance policies. Many freak pol
icies are written, such as insurance
against a cloudy sky during an
aclipse of the sun, or insurance
against lack of snow, taken out in
two instances-once by motion
picture company making snow
scenes and once by the promoters
of winter sports in Minnesota.
Rates for all these forms of insur-
ance are based on the records of the
Weather Bureau and payments are
made in conformity with the indis-
putable facts furnished by it.
Milford chronicle., 1925-07-03
WHAT TWO CENTS WILL DO

Postmaster General Harry S. New,
efficient head Of the biggest busi-
ness in the world" the United
States postal service, writes in the
June number of the National Repub-
lie Washington.
'No mail service equals that OF
the United States in the speed with
which letters are transported to
great distances. In no other cOun-
try may citizens mail such large and
heavy packages by parcel post. No
other country is so honeycombed
with rural free delivery routes or
approaches the service furnished by
the United States to its rural in
habitants either in the rich farming
sections or in those more sparsely
settled where relivering mail is done
of a necessity-at loss.
"For two cents the citizen Of MI
ami. Fla, may send letter by do
nestle mail to Point Barrow, Alas
ka. or to the Philippine Islands. A
still greater distance may be cover
ed by international mail at the same
cost. From Point Barrow, Alaska, a
one-ounce letter may be sent to
Terra del Fuego, at the southern
most point Of South America. For
that matter the two-cent stamp will
take letter from the United States
to any country in the Western hem
isphere with the exception Of Chile,
French and Dutch Guiana, Venezuela
and the islands Of Martinique and
Guadalupe.
1.-TWO cents will carry an ounce
letter to Great Britain and to far off
New Zealand in the South seas, but
a letter from either Of these coun-
tries to this country require three
cent stamp. Spain may be reached
for two cents but the reply postage
will cost five cents. Any other coun-
try in the world may be reached for
five cents, although it was only six
ty years ago when letter to Aus
tralia cost $2.04.
"An idea of the firm foundation
upon which the American postal
service is built may be visualized by
the fact that it was the only one in
the world, the personnel Of which
was not demoralized during1
World War II -
