SANDERS DEATH is DOUBTED.
Sister-In-Law Declares Boy Did Not

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, June 81 OED.
Mrs. J. S. Sanders Of this town, sis
ter-in-law of Jack Sanders of Pritchard,
Ala, today said she doubted II the
charred body of man found in the
automobile of Harold H, Schroeder near
Indianapolis, May 81, was that of her
relative.
Young Sanders left here about a
month ago intending to go to New York
to obtain treatment for q jaw injury
received in Utica, N. Y, she said. After
that he was to go to place In Georgia
where he had once worked and then
continue on to California.
Soon after he left this town, Sanders
sent two post cards to his relatives here
from New York which indicated he was
in a hospital He gave no address ex-
cept general delivery" because of his
lack Of finances. Mrs Sanders was Of
the opinion that he probably went to
public institution for treatment.
He did not have rosary beads nor did
he wear q wrist strap when he left
here, Mrs. Sanders said.

the size of the city concerned There
fore, for a more accurate comparison
of the cost of protection from fire here
in Washington, let us compare it with
the figures for cities of the same size.
Costs In Cities Of This Size.
The Federal Census Bureau has placed
washington In the group of cities with
from 100000 to 100000 inhabitants.
There are altogether IL other cities in
this group, The average cost of fire
protection in the whole group is 1884
per capita. This comes to only about
8 per cent more than in Washington.
However, some of the cities in this
group are much larger than WASH
ington and others are much smaller.
I therefore take the 10 cities nearest
TO Washington in population, and COM
pare the costs OF their FIRE departments
with ours Five of these cities are
somewhat smaller and five are some
what larger than we are, and they are
located all over the United States.
In four Of these 10 cities, the cost
per capita was higher than here; in
six, It was lower,
was 1881, or about the same as in
washington. The minimum cost was
SS.47.
Large Area More Costly.
Finally, 1t costs more to protect q
city which covers comparatively large
area than one which covers small
area. In the East, cities are apt to
cover much less ground than cities of
the same population in the Middle
West and the Far West. therefore
append the following table to show the
cost of protection from fire here and
In other cities of the same part Of the
country. The figures are the cost Of
FIRE protection per capita population.

PAYING TAXES

No man retards the progress of his
own community any more than the
fellow who slacks in the payment of
his taxes. He knows that it takes
revenue to run his county, and that
the chief source of that revenue is
through taxation. And yet he en-
dangers the prompt and successful
operation of county affairs by either
becoming delinquent altogether or
Withholding until the last second the
tax money he knows he must event.
ually pay. For some reason, none of
us enjoy paying taxes. Yet we ought
to know that we wouldn't have much
of a county if we didn't pay them.
Whether it is pleasant or not we
should, as good citizens, set an ex-
ample by meeting this obligation the
moment it is due. There are as few
chronic tax dodgers" around Mil
ford as anywhere else in the coun-
try, and yet there are many who
could be far more prompt than they
are, and thus speed up the conduct
Of our county's business. Think it
over, and we. feel sure you will agree
that it's a good business rule, as we'll
as an example of good citizenship.

LOW INTEREST RATES

One of the favorable factors of the
present business situation is the low
interest rates. With call money
quoted at 8 per cent and collateral
loans at 31a to 4, no business man
can feel that he is handicapped by
heavy interest charges.
The high rates Of interest that
prevailed up to the time of the stock
market fall of last autumn, were a
very heavy load on business. A man
who contemplated new enterprise
would do a good deal Of thinking be-
fore he would borrow money on any
such rates. Municipal governments
that contemplated improvements
hated to issue bonds and pay such
interest charges over a term OF
years.
With plent yof capital which can
be borrowed at the most reasonable
rates for some years, the business
world should be "all set" for big
advance.

SoS
FINDING BUSINESS

If a man wants work, it is up tc
him to look for it. If he simply
waits around home for someone tc
come and hire him, he will probably
wait long time. If he applied fol
public relief, the managers of such
charity would ask what he had done
to find work. If he had done moth
ing, he would be told that before he
expected any assistance from out
side, it is up to him to do his level
best to find work. After he had done
his best to find job and had failed
then he might reasonably ask for
help.
A good many business concerns
are very much in the position Of the
man who complains that he has no
work, but who has made no special
effort to get it. Like the passive un-
employed man, they wait in their
stores and Offices for people to come
in and employ them to furnish COM
modities. Then if few people come
and there is not trade enough to do
business at a profit, they issue
mournful complaints about the hard
times, or the failure Of their towns
people to patronize them, or the
fierce competition.
If such concerns would seek the
advice of a business expert, he
would probably tell them that the
trouble was in themselves, in that
they had made too little effort to
find people who would employ theil
services as distributors of merchan-
disc. The thing to do is to get Out
and hustle aggressively for trade
the way people have to if they want
a job of work.
Just as the man who hustles ag-
gressively for a job, usually gets
one. so the firm that hustles aggres-
siveIy for trade, usually finds II
coming.
By far the most economical and
effective way of doing such hustling
is to advertise through the newspa-
pers. While a salesman is talking to
one person over the counter, the
store message is conveyed through
out the town and far into its nearby
country.

of which is tackled to the frame ana
the other side tackled to roller 10
permit easy handling. Dirt should
be banked along the sides and ENDS
of the bed as a protection against
cold winds and air currents. From
two to three pounds of a 5-8-5 fer
tilizer should be applied for each
120 square feet of bed space, and
worked into the new soil which
should replace the old dirt previous
to sowing the seed.
AS the plants grown in this man
ner are to be set in the field directly
from the seed bed, it is necessary
that the seed be sown thinly in or
der for the plants to grow stOcky
rather than tall and spindly. Unless
there is danger from frost, the cloth
should be rolled back for ten days
before pulling the plants so that they
will harden and be in better condi-
tion for setting. AS a rule it is not
necessary to water the plants, as the
muslin covering is not water-proofed
and it permits most of the moisture
from rains to pass through to the
plant bed.
The growing of these early plants
is one step toward the producing OF
more and better tomatoes per acre,
but along with this program a warn
ing is being issued in regard to the
increasing of acreage, for if this to-
mato industry is to be placed on a
more profitable basis the farmers
must follow the practice of more to-
matOes from a fewer number OF
acres

THE TARIFF AGONY

After its extended agony over the
tariff law, the Senate has finally
passed a bill which does not seem to
to please many people, and the pro-
longed discussion of which has done
much to unsettle business. And the
end is not yet. We are now in for
an extended debate between confer
ence committees of the Senate and
House, while business men delay
about ordering and producing, to see
where the tariff leaves them. The
net result of the whole thing must
be to disgust the country more than
ever with our tariff making methods.
The prosperity of business, and
the employment of its workers can
be wrecked by mistakes in the tar
iff. If the legislators are too gener-
GUS to an industry, then the whole
people are taxed. The government is
between the devil and the deep sea,
in its effort to be fair both to pro-
ducers and consumers, and frequent
ly the problem seems insoluble.
All sections grab and grasp for
tariff favors, with little regard to
the welfare of other sections, and in
this wild scramble a lot of people
get hurt.
Yet it does not seem likely that
the country is ready yea to hand the
making of tariffs over to a tariff
commission, which should theoreti-
cally handle this difficult question in
a non-partisan and scientific way.
There would be everlasting COM
plants that it was prejudiced and
unfair.
The experience of the past year
shows what an undesirable thing a
general tariff revision bill is, if
there is any way to adjust wrong
conditions without it. 1t should be
possible to take up individual cases
where the tariff is either too high or
too low, and remedy those situa-
tions, without all the pulling and
hauling that goes with a general re-
vision.

DOING OUR SHARE

If people go on any kind of ex-
cursion or journey together, each
one is usually willing to take his
share Of the expense. A man who
get the benefit of such a jaunt, but
who declined to take his share Of the
costs, would not get many invitations
in future.
In our community life people are
less ready to take their share of
burdens. A certain amount of Or
ganization work needs to be done to
make a town move ahead. Also we
all need to take our share in main
tanning attractive home places and
contributing to the beauty Of the
community. They are much like the
folks who refuse to pay for their
share of the fun of life.
Se@
THE PEOPLE who complain that
their home town is slow, usually
help make it slow by failing to as
sist in pushing It ahead.

COLDFRAME TOMATO PLANTS

Those tomato growers who are
planning to raise early plants in
cloth-covered coldframes this spring,
and who have not sown their seed,
should make preparations to do so
Immediately if they expect to have
tomato plants ready for setting in
the open field between May Is and
80, is the advice that is being sent
out this week by County Agent Rus
sell E. Wilson, who has been advo-
eating this project in Kent county
for the past two years in co-opera-
ton with interested growers and
Gamers.
The economic Importance of earli-
ness in setting tomato plants in the
field has been demonstrated in Della
ware and Maryland, as well as in
other sections of the United States,
and as the result of these demon
strations this practice is being fol-
lowed by many growers throughout
the country. The time of setting
plants greatly influences the yield,
as shown by the fact that the early
plants are able to make considerable
more growth before foliage diseases
check their development, and these
plants also have an opportunity to
set a larger percentage of tomatoes
before the midsummer high temper
atuTes arrive.
The plan of the cloth-covered cold
frames, therefore, is to provide pro-
lection for the young plants against
low temperatures, high winds, and
insect pests, and to secure plants for
setting in the field from ten days to
three weeks earlier than is possible
to obtain in open plant beds in this
section under our average weather
conditions. Yield records in Mary
land, where this method of growing
tomato plants has been followed for
the past three years, show that
plants grown in cloth-covered cold
frames produced from two to four
tons more tomatoes per acre than
those plants which were grown in
open plant beds on the same farm or
in the immediate neighborhood.
These coldframes may be made any
length desired, the size depending
upon the number of plants to be
grown, but a convenient width is six
feet. A coldframe six feet wide and
twenty feet long will produce about
$500 plants, if the rows are run the
narrow way of the bed and are
placed about eight inches apart.
Boards twelve inches wide are used
for the sides and ends, and these are
held in position by posts driven into
the ground every six feet. Cross
pieces are then used every three
feet to support the muslin, one side

FOREST FIRES

The spring months, when the for
ests in many states are in dry
condition, is a time when many for
est fires start, and an enormous
amount Of valuable timber is de-
stroyed. High cost of wooden build
ing material is partly due to these
destructive fires.
1t is so easy to set one Of these
fires, and it can do such tremendous
damage. The careless camper or au-
tomobile driver tosses a lighted Gig
aret into clump Of bushes, and
thinks no more about it. In a few
hours that tiny fame may have be-
come a roaring menace that de-
stroys many square miles Of trees
that have been century in grow
ing up. People ought to realize what
they are doing when they handle ev-
en- the least spark Of fire in the
midst of such valuable possessions.

NEIGHBORHOOD PRIDE

It is a healthful spirit in a com
munity when you find people taking
pride in the appearance of their own
home street and neighborhood. In a
progressive town you will find peo-
ple showing much of that spirit.
They will say we have on our street
about the prettiest neighborhood in
town, and we are going to keep it
so, and they look out that other
streets don't get ahead Of them.
If some householder on such a
street maintains an unattractive
looking place, he can expect some
gentle hints on the advantages of
cleaning up and beautifying his
home. A street where those stand
ards prevail is one in which real es-
tate values will advance.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION

Meetings have recently been held
all over the United States protest
ing against the persecution of relig-
ious believers in the Russian Soviet
Union. It is not clear just what
can be done about such persecution,
since the soviet government resents
so fercely any interference. Yet that
government should know that any
attempt to stifle religious thought
offends the conscience Of the world.
The Romans of the early Chris
tian era did everything they could to
put down Christianity, but their ef-
forts accomplished nothing. Every
time they burned a martyr at the
stake, they scattered his disciples
out into further countries, so that
the practical result of their perse-
cutting activities was to spread the
faith they wanted to put down. The
only way in which religious was
ever destroyed way by its own err
rors.

UNEMPLOYMENT AND OVER
PRODUCTION

The problems of unemployment
and also the overproduction OF tne
necessaries of life, continue to DaI-
fle the best minds. A strange con-
trast is presented. On one side we
see various groups Of farmers IN
distress because they have produced
more of their products than can be
sold at a profit. And then on the
other hand we see a large number
of idle people for the past winter
This condition will probably be only
temporary, but it has caused mucn
distress for some months. Now II
there was only some way of keeping
all these people at work, they should
he able to use and pay for the sur
Mus of farm commodities which now
clogs our storehouses.
The socialists say that If the gov
ernment owned and operated the
factories everyone would have work
But there are more idle today IN
Russia, where the government owns
everything, than in America. Our
country has made the most amazing
nrogress in the past 10 years, under
the individual ownership Of proper
tv. and it will continue to go ahead.
But somehow it must manage to
remedy this disproportion of over
production on one hand and unem-
ployment on the other.
The plan of starting extensive
construction enterprises whenever
employment lags, is perhaps the
best idea yet devised. The many new
construction enterprises that are
about to start should soon put mil
lions of unemployed folks to work.
Such enterprises however, do not
provide for the unemployed during
winter periods when not much con-
struction is going on.
If the industries that work in an
irregular way would sell their pro-
duct for a lower price during dull
periods, and if wage-earners would
work for lower wages during such
periods, it would encourage a steady
buving that would tide over these
dull times, and help the people to
consume the surplus of farm and
factory products.

OUR STABLE GOVERNMENT

Since nearly everybody who goes
to over to Europe for a couple OF
weeks comes back and lectures us
about the superiority of the "really
representative" governments they
have there, it is only fair, perhaps,
to seize an occasion to say word
for ours. The international naval
conference at London was interrupt
ed by the sudden fall of the French
government, and it was threatened
with annihilation when the British
government came within a few votes
of going down too. The embarrassing
situation which would result from
the host being kicked out while en-
tertaining distinguished guests was
what probably saved the British La
Dor government.
Our government is not always so
quickly responsive to the popular
will, perhaps, but we can count On
it to stand.-The Pathfinder.
Chicago is bankrupt. The only
key: "Caveat Emptor."

SEEING THE CENSUS MEN

April is the month when you can
expect a call from the census man.
His questions should be answered
courteously. He has trouble enough,
without encountering suspicion and
carelessness. Your home town de-
pends on his efforts to obtain full
credit for its development.
If people are not at home when
the census man calls, they should
find some way to communicate with
him, so he will not have to call re-
peatedly. It is a tedious and exact
ing job to collect all these figures,
and we should all help make it as
easy as possible.
