Mayor Hoan, of Milwaukee, put the such loan in
nutshell when he said:
Surely government which draft men for uUar

human beings. A government that cares nothing
about this problem, Which the greatest crisis of the
c0untryS history must stand indicted for thinking
more OF dollars than of human beings"
It would be hard to state facts bunty more truth
fully than that.

SIdCe. LOOKS ike a Lake or
animated dandruff as he sprawls
on a chaparral twig, waiting
for his victim to come along.
Presently a neck appears.
Sheep or human, it's all one
to the tick. Whff-f-f-down he
drops. Then the fun begins!
Into the helpless flesh goes
the wood ticks head. Five
minutes after you wouldn't
know him, so plump is he with
gore. And still swelling. Ugh!
Nasty pest. You make a grab.
But be careful! It's easy enough
to get a wood tick on you, but
getting him off is quite another
matter. That tiny, gouging
head is buried deep. Pull too
hastily at the tick and maybe
he'll leave his head behind, as
a fostering nuisance, to bother
you many a day.
A Nasty Pest
Yes, wood ticks are certainly
a blight, and the wise avoid
them. Pity we can't be as wise
about other pests.
For wood ticks aren't the
only pain-in-the-neck. Life'S
full of them.
Trifles, they appear, at first.

You try to shake them off.
You think you have shaken

You thought you'd gotten over

You always bore your share
Of expense when you were with

You might be surprised if you
could know all that has been

your best friends about your

They think you very shallow
and consider you about as you
do those who have no more

homes you do not enjoy be-
cause they are so simple and

The Issue Is
Clearly Made

Mr.. Garner went before the
Ways and Means Committee
on the day the President ap-
peared before the Senate
with the demand that some
thing be done for the unem-
ployed. He asked a question
no one answered:
"Can any one of you 60
back to your districts and
admit there are people starv-
ing in this Republic and that
you refuse to do something
about it?"
Here, too, is a test of the
capacity of democracy, which
does not so much impress Mr..
Hoover. In his address to
the Senate he reiterated the
old fallacy to which he per-
sistently has clung that it is
not the business of the ma
tion's government in a ma
tiOnal crisis to prevent star
walton or to create work
when as many as % per cent,
at very low estimate, of our
entire population are refused
their inalienable right to
work.

False Values

False values
You say that you hate cheap
things and cheap people.
During your affluent days
you were able to crafty your
desire for expensive entertain
ment, costly outfits and asso-
ciateS whose incomes were far
more than yours.
What they spent was not
extravagant for them but it
was for you.
Now that you cannot keep
up and carry on with the same
crowd you are diSgruntled and
unhappy.
But you won't permit your
self to associate with those in
your class.
You have tried to fool your
self into thinking that your
well-off friends thought you
were as well-to-do as they we're
themselves.

Words From the Lips of Wise Men

Better a healthy peasant

Honest is the cat when the

Who Speaketh kind words
hath many friends, but the
harsh man hath but few.
Courtesy never broke a back.

Budget Balanced: Now:
Unemployment Relief
Claude G.. BOUers

THE Senate has passed
= the tax bill for the bal
ancing of the budget, and
there never has been a mo-
ment when there was the
slightest justification for
fear that it would not. One
thing has stood out like
challenge from the moment
the huge Hoover deficit ap-
peared - that the budget
would have to be balanced,
no matter how Onerous the
taxation necessary. With
the almost illimitable natural
resources of the nation un-
impaired, there has been no
doubt as to the capacity Of
the nation to meet it's obli-
cations.
But with the problem of
increasing taxes in one year,
by an amount but recently
considered extravagant for
the entire cost of govern
ment. The enormous loss
in incomes has reduced the
efficacy of the income tax in
bringing revenue in; the
enormous loss in trade has
cOrrespondingly reduced the
revenue from the corpora
ton tax; and the sales tax,
which is adopted in other
countries, being new here,
was vigorously opposed. 1t
was inevitable that there
should be a clash in views
and methods.
When, not so very long
ago, the House rejected the
Democrat tax measure or
the measure sponsored by
the Democrat leaders, it was
Garner who appeared upon
the floor to call attention to
the effect on the American
dollar, on public confidence,
and to plead for the bal
ancing Of the budget regard
less of how much it might
hurt. This week the Presi-
dent appeared in the Senate
with a similar plea.

MARRY-GO-ROUND

Flattery, in its highest form,
is simply the art Of making neo-
pie interested in you, by max
ing them believe that you find
them INTERESTING.
A man cannot kill a healthy
conscience: but he can usually
anaesthetize it long enough to
enjoy the first few kisses-and
then revive it in time to escape
committing himself.

has an attractive husband, she
has to keep an eye on every

conditions and stability.
The President appeared to
feel that democracy has
something to do with our
failure to act with greater
speed. A great deal is be-
ing made of that idea today.
But it just so happens that
there are more democratic
institutions and methods in
England than in the United
States and the democracy of
England has shown greater
capacity for graphing with
just such crisis as ours
than any other country in
the world. The democracy
of France found way
speedily to balance t The
budget. The trouble is not
with democracy but with
the people working with
democratic methods.
The three great democ-
racies are England, France
and the United States. The
first two had no trouble do
ing the necessary thing; if
the United States has had
some trouble and some delay
it is due to the fact that our
people have been more self
ish than the French and the
English, more prone to whine
over the inevitable, more dis
posed to shunt all the burden
to others, or to other classes.
The sooner we come to
know that we are all en-
barked on the same bottom
and must sink or swim to-
gether, the better.
The Budget
Is Balanced
Now the budget is ball
anced.
And the balancing of the
budget will save the dollar
and restore confidence in the
capacity of our Government
to function.
But the balancing of the
budget does not put jobless
men to work; it does not in
crease the purchasing power
of the thirty millions and
more who cannot buy it does
not restore our lost markets
across the sea, the loss of
which has poured two million
breadwinners out upon the
streets.
The assurance we have had
that with the balancing Of
the budget all would be well
is a false assurance. All is
not well; all will not be we'll
until Congress takes steps to
create jobs on public works
to put these men to work
and thus revive trade; and
all will not be well until
something is done to reopen
the foreign markets that have
been closed to us.

Democracies

Democracies
The truth is there has
been too much whining in
America and too little of the
grit and real patriotism of
the English, who set their
jaws and go through with
whatever program may be
necessary for the salvation
of the country. The sooner
we come to understand that
today we are in an infinitely
greater crisis than this
country ever knew in any
war, the sooner we will take
all the steps necessary for

Too Much Whining
In America

IN America
In the meanwhile condi-
tions had become worse. The
American dollar had fallen
in Europe as it has not be-
fore in half a century.
Hatred for, and jealousy of,
America played its part in
propaganda. On the day
the President appeared in
the Senate, however, the
market in New York broke
disastrously again.
There was no responsible
member of the Senate who
did not thoroughly under
stand the seriousness of the
situation, and members of
both parties, in conference
with the President, had been
discussing ways and means
the night before. The pas
sage of the bill with the
balancing of the budget was
certain this week had the
President not appeared at
all. Even so, his message
setting forth with solemnity
the dangers before us is we'll
worth while.

Berlin, July rs. -R-C Chancellor
Franz Won Papen, securely installed
as federal commissioner for Prussia,
Tuesday ended the state Of martial
law established in Berlin and the
province of Brandenburg six days
ago.
Franz Bracl1t, former mayor of

of dictator. The Prussian coalition
ministry has been ousted and most
observers agreed that the Reichstag
election next Sunday is not likely to
put them back in office.

Won Hindenburg ended martial law at
noon. Outwardly there was no change
in the city, but even during the last
six days the lives of the people have
not been materially affected by mill
tary government. General Won Rund-
stedt, in charge of the execution of
martial law, kept the army in the
background as much as was possible.
Tuesday as he signed the new de-
cree the president said the emer-
gency which required martial law was
over and that the public security no

INCREASED BUYING
AND DEMAND SENDS
WHEAT PRICES UP
Report of Premature Ripening
in Northwestern N. D. Has
Big Effect

Chicago, July 26-(P-Materia ad-
vances in wheat values took place
Tuesday, largely as a result of IN
creased speculative buying and bet
ter export demand.
Some forecasts of 1882 Canadian
wheat production put the total as
low as 40O,000,000 bushels, whereas
recent trade figures have suggested
450,000,000. Harvesting of domestic
spring wheat was reported under way
as far as northwestern North Da-
kota and northeastern Montana be-
cause of premature ripening.
Wheat closed strong, / 3-8 to 2 l-8
cents above Mondays finish, July old
AZ 7-8, Sept. old 40 So to IL. Corn
at Ia to 1-2 decline, Sept. 81 7-8 to
80. Dec. 80 1-8. Oats unchanged to
1-8 off, and provisions unchanged to
10 cents down.
Concentrated selling recently in
evidence, was absent in wheat Tues
Gay. Advices indicated spring wheat
deterioration south as we'll as north
of the Canadian boundary. A Chi
cago crop expert telegraphing from
Brandon, Manitoba, said that from
Broadview east to within 30 miles of
the Manitoba border wheat was very
spotted as a result of premature ripen-
ing.
Reduced estimates of wheat yield in
the Canadian prairie provinces were
noted, totaling but 100000 bushels
Other reports said that from Glas-
gov. Mont, east to Williston, N. D.,
wheat was all badly damaged by ex-
cessive heat. Corn and oats were
bearishly affected by rainfalls in parts
of Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. Oats
outdid the seasons low price record
Provisions reflected hog market de-
clines.
