Old Blacksmith
Still Hopeful

DETROIT, Sept. Is. U.P)-Frank
Hall, a blacksmith for AZ years,
still keeps his old shop open, waits
for customers in this city which
has been taken over by the auto
mobile, and spends the time with
few old cronies talking.
"A blacksmith shop always was
great place to talk" Hall ex-
plains, as he and his friends sit
about a stove in the shop, the
, forge cold and deserted. Some
times 1 wonder where people will
go to talk when all the blacksmith
shops are gone"
Hall and the five or six remain
ing oldtimers, who were members
of the blackSmithS union, don't
take much stock in the up-to-date
SmithieS.
Kinda funny, taking your shop
to the horse now, instead of hav-
ing the horse brought to you," Hall
remarked, and his friends assent.
"These young fellows get call
and hitch up a trailer to their auto
and take their shop to the horse
Me, just wait here, and now and
then someone brings in a horse
Maybe I get as many as four q
week, but not often"

UNCLE WIGGMY'S SWEET
APPLE

Uncle Wiggily sat at the break
fast table in his hollow stump
bungalow and looked around at his
forty 'leven sixteen bunny children
from Baby Bunty, the orphan, at
one end to Jingle and Jangle at
the other end.
Don't be late for school, my
dears," said Mr.. LongearS as he
passed the carrot pancakes to
Buster and Custer, who were twins
like Jingle and Jangle, except that
Buster and Custer we're boys.
"Oh, we have plenty of time,
Daddicums," said Jingle.
And we did our home work last
night, SO we know our lessons" said
Jangle, who was Jingle's twin
sister.
So, Mrs. Longears and Nurse
Jane brought in more carrot pan
cakes and, after a while, all the
bunny children had enough to eat
and. pushing back their chairs, they

in the Hollow Stump School.
"Come, Bunty! Hurry or you'll
be late!" called Jingle to the little
orphan rabbit who was sliding along
from one chair to the next, all the
while getting closer to Uncle
Wiggily.
"I'm coming!" said Bunty. But
when all the Others were ready to
hop on to school Bunty had not
yet started.
You'd better hurry, Baby
Bunty," said Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, I forgot! L must go up

Bunty, and up she hoped to the
bath room, while Jingle called:
"Oh, I know Bunty is going to

and away she hoped with all the
others.
In a little while Bunty came
sliding down the banister railing
of the stairs. She almost bumped
into Uncle Wiggily, who was go

HOW, WHEN AND WHY?

CLOSING the international line at 6, 9
" or II o'clock is up to the government
of course, but lots of residents along the
border, even those who have no desire
TO cross it, wish the government would
make up its mind as to just what it
wants to do.
For years the Calexico border closed
at o'clock. A few months ago the hour
was changed to midnight, because the
early hour made too much work for
customs inspectors. Now the closing
hour is supposed to be changed back to
9 o'clock, because the midnight closing
made too much work for the customs
inspectors"
All of Us hate to have the customs men
overworked, but we also hate to have our
minds overworked, trying to figure out
at just what hour the border is supposed
to close and how long it will remain that
way.

RITCHIE ADVOCATES
CUTTING EXPENSES
Governor, in Rhode Island Ad-
dress, Opposes Tax Increase
to Balance Budgets.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, r. L, March 10
The necessity Of budgeting State and
National expenditures and reducing
governmental expenses so that they
can be taken care of without recourse
to additional taxation was stressed by
Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland in
an address before the Rhode Island
Bankers Association here last night.
IF it was ever the fashion to assume
that national deficits are not Of great
Importance, on the theory that the Fed
eral Government can always meet them
by raising taxes, this is so no longer"
he declared.
I'VE seem to forget that the tax lien
cannot always be forecloSed, and that
there is a practical limit to the taxing
power, which I am disposed to believe
has been almost, if not already,
reached"
Gov. Ritchie held up the budget sys
tenn of the State of Maryland as ex-
emplary, declaring the States credit
rating as 100 per cent. His added as
sertion that this rating was enjoyed
by no other State was countered by
statement by F. S. Peck, Rhode Island
finance commissioner and Republican
leader, that Rhode Islands financial
position is in no sense inferior to that
of Maryland or any other State.
