A SUNDAY IN SUSSEX

1t rains, it halls, it SHOWS, it
blows, might easily describe a GER
tain Sunday in February. Around
the house and barn of Mr.. Al
all is quiet. Indoors, the family is
gathered around a big stove which
sends out such warm glow that
the sitting room is cheerful in spite
of the rain beating against the
windows.
The telephone rings-one long
one short.
John, it is probably for you
answer it please" says his mother.
John, aged 16, slowly gets up
from his comfortable chair and with
a teasing glance towards his older
sister says-"I bet it's one of Sis's
beaus."
Hello! Oh yes, Jim, how are
you?"
"Oh, not so bad! The radio work
ed fine this morning and we had
some good music and a sermon and
now l am reading Treasure Island.
Oh boy Some book"
mo, didn't buy it. 1t got it from
the Book Wagon that the State LII
brary Commission sends out. 1t was
in town yesterday. The librarian
helped me pick out books for the
family. Pop has a Life Of Lincoln;
mother, a story of the Civil War;
Sis, a real love story; Ben, one of
the Nature Books of Burgess and
even Betty has a book with lots of
pictures in it."
Eyes, it will be in town again and
I shall be on hand to return these
and get some more"

dent will uphold his previous posi-
ton and veto the McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill; others say he will
sign it, believing that it will result
in a court test as to the constitu-
tionality of the legislation. Belief
exists that Congress has passed the
responsibility for farm legislation to
the President, knowing full well it
will influence his plans for renomi-
nation. 1t is probable that the con-
'ferees on this bill may reach a COM
promise, which would lessen the po-
litical tension.
The proposal of the President to
the four principal world powers for
a naval arms limit has brought in
ternational affairs to the fore again.
At present those familiar with inter-
national affairs in Washington take
a pessimistic attitude on the prop
osition. 1t does not seem probable
that negotiations will begin for
sometime, but the reaction to the
Presidents invitation will have a
vital bearing upon the activity of
this government in the building of
war ships.
1t is expected that the Senate will
vote on the McFadden branch bank
ing bill this week. This measure has
been pending for considerable time,
and has been subjected to lengthy
debate. Advocates of the Boulder
Dam legislation are making an ear
nest attempt to obtain consideration
before adjournment. 1t is obvious
that tax relief legislation will not be
revived during the last days of this
session, as test votes last week
showed that the Senate was antag-
onistic toward emergency tax legis-
lation.
Party leaders realize that the
country must be interested at all
times in political issues. Therefore,
spokesmen for various groups are
busy agitating the prohibition mat
ter. Senator Borah, an opponent of
notification of the eighteenth
amendment to the Constitution, has
challenged a fellow Republican, DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler of New
York, to a test of strength on the
wet and dry issue within the party
1t may result in putting on record
every candidate who may aspire to
the Republican nomination for Pres
ident and Vice President.

BEST SELLING NOVEL TO
BE AT DOVER AS FILM

Book-loVers and the hundreds of
Dover readers of Edith M. HulIs
novel, "SOn of the Sheik," will be
interested in the announcement that
Rudolph Valentino in the screen
adoption, "The Son of the Sheik," is
to come to the New Dover Opera
House, Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday, February 81, % and %.
It was Mrs. Edith M. Hull who
wrote the best-selling novel, "The
Sheik," which Valentino made into
a sensationally successful film sew
eral years ago, and in '"The Son of
the Sheik," sequel to "The Sheik, P"
he is said to excel the former per-
formance. Agnes Ayres, who was
the lovely lady Of '"The Sheik," re-
turned to the screen especially to
play in 1.-THE Son of the Sheik" with
Valentino.
The motion picture adaptation OF
the e. M. Hull novel was written by
Frances Marion, veteran scenarist,
who was responsible for the scenar-
10 of "Stella Dallas"
Wilma Banky, exotic Hungarian
beauty, plays the part of Yasmin,
dancing girl of the desert, whose
actions are misunderstood by the
man whom she loves. In the charac-
terizations Of the fiery youth who
tries to break the will Of the girl he
thinks a deceiver, and the dancer, as
well as in the retention of the
stormy spirit of the desert tale, it is
understood the film is made along
the lines of the book so that readers
should find thrilling entertainment
when "The Son of the Sheik" takes
Valentino to Dover.

YOU HAVE A TEMPERAMENT.
Everybody has. Old fashioned folk
would call it your disposition. But
science is following a more modern
style. So you might as well get in
line and acknowledge that you, too,
are carrying a temperament conceal
ed somewhere about your person.
Very well, then, how about getting
acquainted with your temperament? ?
1t is the child of your moods and the
grandchiId of your emotions. Want
to test it out? If you can stand liv-
ing with yourself, do this for a
month.
When you get up every morning
scowl at yourself in the mirror. At
the end of the month, say psychOlo-
gists, your facial map will resemble
a sector of no mans land in rainy
weather.
Then start smiling at what you
see in the mirror on the thirty-first
day. You will perk up wonderfully.
Friends will marvel at the change
that's come over you. And your di-
gestion will be better.
But don't keep up the morning
smile too persistently. 1t may de-
generate into a simper. Having let
your temperament go to both ex-
tremes, take control and regulate it.

ENTERPRIsING experimen

inclined officials would rather advo-
cate some new tax than accomplish
retrenchment.
New taxes mean more jobs and
more power in the hands of officials,
who now levy upon everything from
birth to death, marriage and regis
tration of autos and dogs.
A private secretary is needed to
take care of the average business
mans tax problems, to say nothing
of a financial agent to provide mon

Experts are employed by many
firms whose business it is to say
when this tax, or that tax shall be
paid, and how much.
The man who has nothing, of

little details, but he pays his share
of the taxes just the same. He should
not forget this when he votes on

SO@
THE POPULAR WAY to fame
seems to be to propose some revo-
lutionary scheme which would de-
stroy an industry or deprive large
numbers of individuals of their per-
sonal or property rights. Writers or
politicians who would upset our
whole business structure, but who
can guarantee no practical substi-
tute for established practices, get
wide publicity and are heralded as
brainy men and great friends of the
people.
The executive who has to figure
out practical plans for producing
and distributing product, who has
to show a profit on his operations in
order to employ labor at good wages
and secure capital for additions and
betterments to his plant, who has
to pay the taxes to carry out every
scheme that is proposed which
makes it harder for him to do bGsi-
ness, is too often painted as an en-
emy of the people.
What a contrast! One man is a
non-producer, nOn-employer and
tax-absorber. The other is a pro-
ducer, an employer and taxpayer.
The first is heralded with brass
bands, and his utterances occupy
pages of newspaper and magazine
space. The other passes by unnotic-
ed. If the first man with his flow
cry speeches and impractical ideas,
ran for public Office as an opponent
of the producer, the taxpayer and
the employer, he would probably be
elected on the ground that he did
not represent big business" as did
his opponent. The road to public
popularity is too often path Of de-
struction, because advocating con-
structive policies is not sensational.
The man who builds a hundred
million dollar industry is often look
ed upon with suspicion. The man
who destroys hundred-million dol
lar industry gets pages of publicity,
and lays the foundation for a politi-
cal future.
AS a people we are not quite so
easily fooled as we used to be, but
we must watch our step if we pre-
vent the non-producer in politics
from crippling our industrial ma
chine which is now firing on all six
cylinders as it never did before.
