First, then, suggest that, while We
boldly attack the great unsettled prob

portunity for helpful service, we lend
no countenance to the idea that any
government is either omniscient or
omnipotent. There are no magic oint-
ments which governments can use to
heal the. wounds inflicted by human
folly, and only false prophets will teach
men that they are entitled to lean upon
the State for support rather than make

TESTING CANDIDATES

Every candidate seeking a seat in
Congress in the November election
is to be queried by the National Or
ganization to Reduce Federal Ex-
penditures relative to his stand on
reducing such expenditures. The
questionnaires are to be issued
through state chairmen, and the aim
of the organization is to cut down
by $750,000,00O the present annual
spending by the federal government.
Here is a movement to which every
citizen should lend his moral sup
port-even at the expense of some
hoped-for slice of pork for the home
district. On the principle that it is
much more agreeable to give than
to take away Congress and the adj
ministrations have gradually built
up an annual expense account and
salary list that cannot be defended
or excused. One positive good we
should get out of the depression is a
weeding-out of much useless govern
ment expenditures and plain waste
of the taxpayers money President
Hoover has issued a plea that the
people of the nation defend Con-
gress from the "swarms of lobbies"
ever seeking more government
Since it is our money we the
citizens should do something about

PINE MAKES GOOD FUEL


Pound for pound, pine wood gives
of. more heat than hickory. There
is a. widespread belief that hickory
or other heavy hardwood has a
higher fuel value than. pine. Tests
by the Forest Products Laboratory
Of the United States, Department. of
Agriculture show the fallacy of this
notion, which probably has held sway
since stoves first come into use.
A cord of hickory wood, being
heavier, may give off more heat than
q cord of pine. But most resinous
woods, like pine, have a higher heat
production value per pound than
nonresinous woods.
Another mistaken idea about fuel
wood is that sapwood of long-leaf
pine contains more resin than the
heartwood This notion comes prob
ably from the frequent sight Of
"gum" glistening on the freshly cut
sapwood, but not on the heartwood.
Although the resin is formed in the
sapwood, it is stored mostly in the
heartwood, according to the Forest
Service.

ing siren, and that it costs a good
deal of money, And that's about all.
Even to more or less experienced
eyes, all fire apparatus looks much
alike. It's quality-or lack of it,
can't be seen. It appears only after
a period of time, when the engine
has been called upon to operate at
maximum efficiency, under unfayor-
able conditions, for hours at a
stretch-when failure means a dis

There's only one safe" kind of
