Logansport Pharos-Tribune
We are a land of Rabbits, no
doubt We grind out our lives in
the pursuit of dollars and rarely
do our dreams soar among the
rare atmosphere3 of pure beauty,
pure thought. This much we have
been told by many wise critics
whom it is difficult to doubt.
Still, boys and girls, old men
and children from all the corners
of the world, seem willing to go
through amazing ordeals in order
to become one of us.
Up at Niagara Falls, for eX-
ample, a girl of seventeen, native
of Lithuania, flirted with most
terrifying death in the hope of
becoming an American. She
walked at midnight along a mar
row steel girder, with the swirling
waters Of the Whirlpool Rapids
$50 feet below her, in the hope of
passing undetected from Canada
into the United States.
And she paid $3.50 to the man
who showed her how it might be
done.
Perhaps, then, in waffle huts
and under matched roofs, in
crowded slums and picturesque
villages of the old familiar parts
of the world, they still think of
this as the promised land. Hear
ing their stories, we can hardly do
less than strive to make it that.

Charles p. Stewart, a we'll
known Washington correspondent,
calls Herbert Hoo AN abstract
idea" but, continues Mr.. Stewart,
Don't imagine that he isn't pop
ular with the people he comes in
contact with. He gets them and
he holds them and they swear by
him." This is evident from the
fact that a number of his help
erS in the department of COM
merce date their contact with
Hoover back to the time when
they served with him for the relief
of Belgium. Others assisted him
to bring relief to the starving null
titudeS in Germany and the other
central powers. He found out that
they we're effective workers and
hangs onto" them. And they
hang onto him, too since as Mr..
Stewart puts it, "the universal
verdict is that he's a good boss"
The Washington correspondent
adds: Hoover undoubtedly would
make a bang-up president and
win the entire country's admira-
ton, on account of the way he'd
run it, as what he'd inevitably be
"a great chief executive" 1t is
because we share this view that
we have urged that the Nation
take advantage of its opportunity
to have imam of Hoover's high
caliber in the presidential Office
It is because we are convinced
that that the same view is shared
by a great majority of the people
of this State that we unhesitat-
ingly and confidently predict that
he will receive the preference of
Indiana voters in the May pri-
marieS.

Some Labor Excess

Birmingham is the Souths largest

because of what is happening TO
the coal industry in other sections.
There is some excess Of labor here.
and a consequent lack of full time
employment for all the twenty-five

district, but the Birmingham situa-
ton is far better in this respect
than is that of most northern fields.

THE DECORATED CLOSET
By Jane Stewart


On first thought there seems to be
nothing to the question of closet
finishing" But in reality There are
many little things that can be done
20 change the closet from an enclos-
ure with door to be kept tight
shut lest you spoil the appearance of
the room, to one that actually adds
to the decorative scheme. Incident
ally, anything you do to make clos
ct more attractive makes it more
convenient.
It is the bedroom closet that COM
mands most attention, for here We
encounter the greatest difficulties in
keeping things tidy. Then, too, the
bedroom closet is in constant use.
Many times a day we are putting
things in and taking things out. The
possibilities are determined largely
by space. but no matter what the
size the first thing to do is to paint
the closet throughout, ceiling ana
floor included, some attractive coior:
AS a rule either the wall color OF
the room will be best for walls ana
ceiling of the closet, or a reversed
color scheme. For instance II the
walls are beige and the WOODWORK
green. the closet might be in green
with beige trim. Sometimes, how

When Sir James speaks of the
wholesome properties of canned
foods he refers to foods as they ara
canned in modern sanitary cam
neries in such a way as to retain
the health-giving properties of the
raw foods. Under home-cookin9
methods, of necessity slower and
less scientific than cannery-cookinG
methods, some of the valuable vita
minis - more or less volatile BY
nature - are apt to escape. 1t is
practically impossible, also, to
handle foods at home in the strictly
sanitary way in which they are
handled In a modern cannery.
Canned Foods Sanitary
Most canned foods are never
touched by human hands. When
some special process is necessary
the workers in canneries wear rub
Der gloves. Automatic machines do
the washing and cleaning. The
tomato is an excellent example OF
healthful food scientifically canned
As tomatoes are brought by farm
ers to the cannery they go into q
receiving tank, and are washed.
They are then scslded sufficiently
to loosen the skin but not so long
that the pulp and flesh become. soft
ened. The Scaldlng Is accomplished
by conveying the tomatoes through
boiling water or live steam. AZ
they emerge from the scalder they
are subjected to sprays Of cold
water or are immersed In cold
water to check further cooking and
crack the skins. After peeling, they
are fed into q machine which Ellis

WORTH OVER MILLION
HOLDS ON TO JOB

Although George J. Higgins, OF
Shamokin, Pa, owns property
worth more than $1,500,000, he
steadfastly refuses to give up his
job as station agent of the Phila-
delphia and Reading railroad in
that city. He has likewise refused
numerous promotions just to be
able to continue at his job.
Everybody argues that 1 don't
need the job and that 1 ought to
step out" Higgins told The Ameri-
can Magazine. But the fact is that
nobody needs the job more than 1
do and 1 am glad 1 can afford to
keep on holding it. l can afford to

from the room scheme is advisable
If the room were done in srays and
blues and the closet happened to be
particularly dark, you would want
some such color as yellow or cream
which reflects large amount of
light. The trim could carry out the
room color scheme. In addition to
making the closet attractive, paint
has the advantage of lighting it Up,
and not least important of all MAX
ing it clean and easy to keep clean.
If you want to dress the shelves
up a bit, short scaIlOped valance of
glazed chintz may be cut out, bound
and tackled on. A valance should al
ways be simple, however. Other
wise it will be to impractical to Off
set its decorative value. A still more
practical way of decorating the
shelves is to paint the edges a color
that harmonizes or contrasts with
the rest.
Nearly always there is q rod for
clothes beneath a shelf. Where there
is such an arrangement, use a cur
tain of glazed chintz with hands to
the floor. Glazed chintz does not
catch dust and may be wiped off
with a damp cloth when it becomes
soiled. Bright colors are best for
the chintz pattern as they have a
certain crispness which is desirable
for closet.
Sometimes the arrangement is
such that a rod is run one one side
or both sides of the closet rather
than across the back. Such an ar
rangement, if the closet is large
enough, offers an excellent oppor-
tunity for placing a shoe cabinet in
the back at the center. Any chest
of drawers that is small enough may
be used for this purpose. Or YOU
might have a special built-in piece.
The piece should be painted the
same color as the closet walls, and
will be more attractive If decorated
with stencil or decalcomania de-
sign. Hats, too, may sometimes be
put away in cabinet of some kind.
Hats and shoes have such a faculty.
for cluttering up closets that it is
always advisable to make some spe-
cial arrangement for them. If space
is lacking for cabinet, you can al
ways use the shoe racks (which may
now be had in color to fit your closet
scheme). And very convenient fex-
ible holders are made to place hats
On a closet shelf. By pulling little
cord the holder is brought down
within easy reach, and as you let it
90 it swings back, taking the hat out
IF the way of other things. These,
90, come in different colors.
Picture the daintiness of a closet
With walls of maize, the color OF the
bedroom furniture. The shelves are
ined with blue, and glazed chintz
With bright blue and yellow figures
,onceals all untidiness from view. A
small shoe cabinet in maize stands

in the matter of diet. He points
out. however, the greatly improved
nutrition of the British population
during the past fifty years, which
he attributes mostly to foods pre-
served by canning.
EAR from being unwholesome,"
the English dietitian states, foods
preserved by canning or otherwise,
are largely responsible for the inn
proved British nutrition"
Variety in the diet, offered BY
canned foods is probably one Of the
biggest factors in the improved
British condition. Whereas fifty
years ago, England was a land OF
roast beef and mutton, today fruit
and vegetables grown in all parts
of the world are scientifically canned
and widely sold in England, just
as they are in every other country.
Even a diet, if it be a sensible one,
has no dangers for the person who
varies his foods with the almost
unlimited choice of healthful, nom
fattening vegetables and fruits now
available in cans.
Pineapple, for example, one of the
diet foods recommended by physi-
clans because its natural fruit sugar
Is quickly converted into energy
without adding fat and also because
of its powerful digestive proper
ties, was not generally known any
where in the world twenty-five
years ago. In England, II was
grown in lighthouses for rich people.

however, printed forms containing
only generalities may prove made
quate.
Share agreements are often con-
siderably detailed. In such agree
ments consideration must be given
to the capital, credit, ability, ex-
perience, and purposes of both
landowner and tenant. It may be
useful also to particularize the con-
ditiOns of farming and the OPP
portunities of the farm. Printed
forms suitable for such leases may
not be readily obtained. Usually it
is best for the contracting parties
to write their own lease embodying

practice is responsible for many
disputes that written agreements
would obviate or make easy to set
tie.
Careful consideration of lease
agreements promotes mutual salts
faction, tends to lengthen the per-
iod of tenancy, and encourages the
adoption of improved farming meth
DDS. To put a lease in writing
clears up points that might have
remained obscure, and is thus
worth while even if the lease is not
looked at again. Standard printed
forms, with a few notifications or
additions, will generally suffice
where the farm is to be leased for

the various stipulations. Some
times, where considerable values
are involved, it may be desirable
to obtain the advice and assistance
of a lawyer.
Properly drawn leases will not,
however, prevent trouble unless
both parties have the right atti-
tude. Approximately 100000 Am
erican farmers operate land part or
all of which they do not own. 1t is
thus obvious that harmony in the
landlord-tenant relationship is i'm

my. 1t may be promoted not only

Farm leases should be carefully
drawn up, because it is dangerous
for the contracting parties to slight
the business of arriving at COM
plete understanding on all points
where their interests may clash.
Many, and perhaps most, rented
farms are leased orally, without
printed or written memoranda of
any kind. Indeed, some landlords
and tenants take pride in being in
