COURT ENDS FAMILY'S
RESIDENCE IN CHURCH

Waukegan, Ill, Aug. 12.-Church
will no longer be home for Clarence
Spiering. His long fight to retain the
Hickory Corners Methodist Episcopal
Church, near Antioch, as his home
ended yesterday when Circuit Judge
Dady issued a writ Of restitution COM
handing Spiering and his family to
vacate.
Spiering moved into the church last
January with his wife, children and
dog, when his home across the street
burned down. He claimed that because
the church had been abandoned the
property reverted in title to his moth
er, who originally owned part of the
land.
S%piering's attorney said his client
would move, but would sue the trus-
tees for the title of the church and
land. He already has sued three of the
trustees for $4,000, charging mali
cious prosecution.

THE DEFICIT

With a deficit of 1908, ooo, 900 and an in
crease in the outstanding public debt of $685.
100000, the Federal Government, on June 80,
ended what the New York Times calls it's
most unfavorable fiscal year in recent history.
During the year, treasury receipts" totaled
$3,317, 10000, a decline of 1851, 900, 900
from 1880, and expenditures were $780,
100000, or $226, 1000, 900 more than last year
when there was a surplus of $184,000 900.
Major sources of government revenue, inc]ud-
ing income tax, corporation tax and customs
duties, fell as compared with the previous year.
The government, of course, is in an abso-
lutely sound position, but higher taxes are in
evitable unless drastic economies are effected.
Depressed business conditions were directly
responsible for the 1851, 900, 1000 drop in rev.
enue.
The blame for the attendant increase of
$226,o0o,ooo in governmental expense will
probably be hurled from shoulder to shoulder
until forgotten.

budgets-coupled with the genuine need for
more and better roads in a great many states.
The farm-to-market road movement is COM
ing in for increasing attention and more and
more communities are finding that full-width,
weatherproof, all-year-round roads are essen
tial to agriculture in this modern age.
1t might be said that the money we spend
for roads gives us a better return than almost
any other form of government tax expendi-
lures. Quick and economical transport, of
goods and persons, is vital to social and eco
nomic progress. Particularly is this true of
those rural areas where roads have been in es-
sentially the same state Of unimprovement
since the horse-and-wagon days. Only by
building inexpensive, but good roads, can
farming sections be given a place in the march
forward.

TIL OLD HOME TOWN

Salisbury was described the other day by a
TREND as being a poor mans paradise and a
rich man. oasis" The Carolina Waterman de-
ducts, if we correctly interpret the curt re-
mark, our friend is about right, and not very
far wide of the mark.
Enlarging upon the idea expressed above,
we believe Salisbury is a fine place for a poor
man to live. Every advantage is offered that
u en- 80 - slI447st any where No people are
more congenial or sympathetic; no people
higher-principled; no peope more ambitious;
no people with better morals; in fact, no bet
ter people anywhere. AS far as the climate and
location are concerned, Salisbury excels in
most instances.
Salisbury has few very rich people. 1t is our
belief this city offers wonderful opportuni-
ties for the rich mans investment, to be real
lied in safe, sound projects; indeed, it is an
oasis. Civic pride should cause us to broadcast
this fact to the world and induce others to
share our good fortune.
Pertinent to this thought, the following
clipping is printed here:
My city is where my home is founded,
where my business is situated, where my
vote is cast, where my children are edu-
Gated, where my neighbors dwell, and
where my life is chiefly lived. 1t is the
home spot for me.
My city has a right to my civic loyal
ty. 1t supports me and I must suppo it.
My city wants my citizenship-not par
tisanship; friendliness-not ofhshness;
co-operation-not discussion; sympathy
not criticism; my intelligent support
NOT Indifference.
My city supplies me with law and or
der, trade friends, education, recreation,
and the rights of a free born American.
I should believe in my city and work for
it. And I will.

SALE OF BEER AND WINE
WOULD BE A SPUR TO
ITcIhTECC HE THINKS

CflLL VI OI4-4N
WOULD BE A SPUR TO
BUSINESS, HE THINKS
To the Editor: .
There has been much discussion of
late as to whether the legalized sale OF
beer and light wine would improve or
further retard general business.
Prior to the Eighteenth Amendment
and the Volstead act the belief was
generally held that this industry act
ed as a brake on other industries. How
ever, l believe this theory, along with
other dry theories, has been fairly we'll
exploded and we now see that a boom
era takes nearly all lines of industry
up and that few escape the effect of
a depression.
1t is we'll to preach optimism and
confidence in the future, but the in
disputable fact remains that the ma
jority of people will not carry on when
money is tight. Obviously we need
something to remove the jam in bust
ness-something which the people will
buy and which can be sold at a low
price with large volume of sales
l believe that the sale of these bev-
erages would create a freer movement
of money than prevails at present,
which in turn in a very short time
would help all lines of endeavor.

ALAS, THE POOR PEDESTRIAN

10 Tic GQ1COI.
One of the traffic rules needs i'm
mediate attention if drivers are t o re-
tain their hard-earned rights.
An impression seems to have gain
ed force among pedestrians hat the
green light at crossings is, in some OBJ
way, meant for them. Nothing
could be more contrary to practice.
The green light is intended only to
show the proper position on a street
crossing of the leading car held by
the red light. The traffic rule should
read about as follows:
"As the green light is only to indi-
cate the proper position of the leading
car held by the red light, pedestrians
are forbidden to attempt crossing a
street when the green light is shown"
This would protect drivers and their
rights from interference by upstart pc
destrians daring at any time attempt
ing to cross streets, especially streets
where no traffic policemen are sta
toned.
Our rights are paramount. Down
with the pedestrians.

UPON BEING A FOOL

The London Daily Express seems to be o
the opinion that pessimists and fools are clos
kin.
This newspaper believes that there is Away
opportunity for a fellow to make good i
he works hard enough.
The Express says:
All pessimists are fools. What is worse,
they are dangerous fools.
At the present moment they are def
mite curse to the community.
Men on salaries that have not shrunk
a penny although the cost of living has
done so by many pennies, go about NUT
tering darkly Of hard times.
Holders of frst-rate industrial shares
are selling out at heavy losses and putting
the money in the bank (where it earns
nothing), SO that in the future they can
buy back the shares at top prices.
1.-The world is in a terrible condition.
Things are very bad. Everything is 60
ing down."
That is their daily chant. That is their
contribution to the morale of the nation.
After Waterloo there was real distress.
Then came steam and the greatest era of
prosperity the world has seen.
Today, while the fools are moaning,
wise men are planning, working, dream
ing, underwriting the prosperity that lies
ahead.
When these good times arrive-and
they are on their way now-the fools
will moan: IF we had known we could
have 49,"
Don't be a fool.
