 "One of our New England states. Rhode Island, has an especially good record in holding state ex- penditure within state income. Hon Frederick s.

These associations work in coop eration with municipal authorities. do research work, and otherwise help toward economy and efficiency in local government.

 "The point is," the paper contin- ues, that it has not done enough to meet the situation, the president Is not willing to have 1t do more, and even if it did more it would not be able to get under a load that must be carried by the vari- ous localities. That being so. proud recitals of the inadequate Federal accomplishments, far from en- couraging an up-and-doing spirit among the communities, serve in

 "As a cheer leader" says the Sun, "the president seems to us to leave something to be, desired. 1n- stead of sticking to the main point. which is the essence of good cheer leading, he tends to succumb to the temptation to bring in issues that are not merely extraneous but defi- nite1y distracting.
 "He reiterated his conviction that the depression has been deepened by events from abroad which are beyond the control either of our citizens or our gov- ernment.'

 Regardless of where fault for conditions may lie, the fact is that the country has to care for the un- employed this winter. The bulk of the money must be and will be raised locally, and, furthermore, it is desirable to have it so.

What does 1t take to cook an omelet containing 10000 eggs? That was the question that poultry men of Seattle, Wash, faced. when the event was assigned a place on the program of their annual egg festival, says Popular Science Monthly. A Seattle stove company solved the problem which was be- coming embarrassing by producing giant eight-foot frying pan. It weighed nearly half a ton, and a heavy motor truck transported it to the cutting where a dozen cooks were kept busy breaking the 10,- 900 eggs into the capacious skillet.

 Samuel R. McKelvie of the Federal Farm Board states that this disaproporton in advertising efforts was all the more striking when 1t is considered the smaller communities of the country have normal purchasing power of ten billion dollars annually
 He might have gone further by stating that no class of prospective customers responsive to honest advertising than people residing in the rural districts
