THE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.

From the Adel News.
1t isn't much wonder that there is a de-
preston in Georgia, when it is shown that
the automobile valuation in the state exceeds
last years cotton crop by million dollars.
We are not against the automobile at ALL but
there are many people in Georgia who have
them who are not able to own them.

II taxes are to be reduced governments
must spend less money. State legislatures
ought to have little difficulty in reducing
taxes by this process. All they will have to
do is to study the record OF the federal gov

posed tax reduction is a makeshift unless 1t
is based on a substantial reduction in the
sum of appropriations.

Jap Radio Goods
To Be of Own Make

Tokyo, Oct. 10-(A. p. by MaiD-
That foreign made radio apparatus is
a luxury in Japan is the opinion of
the financial authorities, who are re-
ported to be planning the application
of luxury tax of 100 per cent ad
valorem on all imported radio goods.
At the time the luxury law went
into effect in July last year, radio In
Japan was in an infant stage of de-
velopment, and no consideration was
given. to the application of the law to
radio instruments imported here from
foreign countries.
With broadcasting started early
this year, radio has become popular
all over the country. and receivers
alone are imported to the amount of
100000 yen a month. Duties averag-
ing from 20 to 80 per cent have been
charged.
Mr. Tomida, chief of the financial
bureau of the finance department,
said that radio in japan is not yet
practical for commercial purposes,
and is still a luxury. We intend to
limit the importation of foreign radio
goods"

tender spot in the memory of all those
who knew and worked with them. Al

Data Reported
Children'S Bureau

Washington. d. c., Nov. 1-Exami-
nation Of nearly 100000 infants and
pre-school children at 26,353 child
health conferences during the fiscal
years 1924 and 1925 is reported to the
Children's Bureau OF the U. S. De-
partment of Labor by states cooper
ating under the Federal Maternity
and Infancy Act.
Commenting on the report Of work
done under the act. Grace Abbott,
chief of the Children's Bureau, said:
1.-THE provisional figures for 1924 Of
the vital-statistics division of the
Bureau Of the Census indicate a sub
stantial drop in the infant death rate
for both urban and rural commune
ties in the United States birth-regis-
tration area; but even with this i'm
provement the infant death rate in
the United States is higher than in
Australia, the Netherlands, Norway,
no state in the United States birth
registration area has so low rate as
New Zealand 1t is quite evident.
therefore, that the United States can
not afford to slacken its interest or
reduce in any way the intelligent
, expenditure of funds to lower the
death rate among babies.
"A report on maternal mortality,
which will be published soon by the
bureau. shows that a very high per-
centage of the losses are due to pre-
ventable causes. 1t is, therefore, es-
pecially important that the program
for prevention Of the unnecessary
deaths In childbirth should be pushed
Here, too, the United States lags be-
hind many countries. Demonstrations
of successful methods of conducting
pre- natal clinics have been made in
many places under the maternity and
infancy act. A beginning has beer
made in getting a state program of
work understood and actually under
way in some communities. On the
basis of this experience an expan-
sion of the work can economically be
undertaken.

Fairfield Center, Maine, Nov. 2.--It
was a beautiful autumn day, October
20. 1874, when band of worthy citi-
zens of Fairfield Center met to talk
over the possibility of a Grange or
ganization. Because of the fact that a
school was in session in the old Town
hall under the instruction of James
Plummer, the little band held It's
meeting in Mr.. Plummer's kitchen In
the house at the rear of the church
formerly used as a hotel and now
owned by the Ed. Green heirs. From
that meeting was originated Victor
Grange No 40. These faithful few
continued the work and soon the
Grange was not thing to be ridiculed
but an order to which others wished
to belong.
Before the close of the year 1874 10
persons were added to it's member
ship. 1t steadily grew in strength and
in numbers. During the year of 1873
GA new ones were added. Today there
are 200 members.
Early in the year of 1888 arose the
question of home for the Grange.
This was accomplished and few
years later large annex, designed by
]. A. Jones. was erected which now
consists of the main hall, the other
part being divided into dressing rooms
and the kitchen. Now Victor can
boast of one of the best halls in the
State. Besides spacious corridors both
downstairs and up there is very
large auditorium with large seating
capacity and a very nice floor. There
is q good stage with dressing rooms
and all conveniences to stage any ANA
teur show. There are two dressing
rooms, two coat rooms and a gents
smoking room. There is large, well
equipped dining room and Kitchen
downstairs. The hall is equipped with
the regular Grange regalia and is fur
mace heated and electric lighted
