Tommy is on the hospital list.
He has been since Ray Pepper,
st. Louis Browns outfielder, hit
him over the heart with a line

That day, Tommy courageously

the game after the fifth inning
on account of darkness, but since,
the veteran hurler has complained

his heart and chest muscles so

Heavy Blow To GriffS

it will be heavy blow to the

Burke Fills In
Bob Burke, who pitched part Of

bases filled by Bottomley did the
trick, and this turning point came
after the Griffs had led, 4 to 3,

EVERYONE is A TAX PAYER.

Most people who do not own property,
pay little or no attention to the ever
increasing tax levies under which we
struggle. They think that because they
do not own property, they do not have
to pay tax.
Even the poorest person on earth pays
taxes. One does not have to be posses
sed with big amount of real estate,
or even own a home to become a tax
payer.
All of US pay as surely as if we owned
town houses, country homes, broad acres
of farm lands, stocks, bonds, mills or
factories. We all have to eat or starve
to death. If the owner of the properly
in which the grocer has his store has
to pay higher taxes, the grocer has to
pay higher rent and we have to pay
the grocer higher prices for food
We all have to sleep if we want to
live. If the person who owns the house
where we live has to pay higher taxes,
then we have to pay higher rent, of
course.
If the railroads have to pay higher
taxes, they have to charge higher rates
| to haul everything we consume, and
naturally, the increase is tackled on to
the paying end-thats where the ulti-
mate consumer hooks on
And everyday we pay our proportion
ate share of process taxes on numerous
essential articles which is now in effect.
! We pay sales taxes on much of the
merchandise we buy. Federal taxes of
other nature are tackled upon the sales
to the ultimate consumer.

BRICKS IN OUR GARDEN.

Everyone grows an imaginary garden.
It may not be recognized in this partic-
ular form bat nevertheless we all have
our imaginary gardens.
When everything runs along smoothly,
this imaginary garden of ours is filled
with beautiful flowers, and most beau
tiful flowers are sweetly scented.
In these gardens of ours. however,
there also brick piles We have a ten
dency to permit these bricks to accumu-
late. The first thing you know these
bricks begin to crowd out the flowers
and cultivation ceases.
If more people would stop piling up
these bricks, then there would be fewer
bricks to hurl. How much better it is
to hurl flowers, than bricks. Bouquets
are appreciated by the least of man
kind, and these flowers from our mag
mary garden today need special eff
fort of cultivation.
Kind words to those who deserve them
are only roses from our garden. Con-
structive criticism in business instead
of bricks tossed from our garden usu-
ally brings the best results. The big
gest knocker or the heaviest hammer,
may have no effect upon genuine dia-
mond. The best sport in the world af-
ter all, is the best loser.
The individual who cultivates the best
imaginary garden, does so with fewer
brick piles

LOWER ELECTRIC RATES OFFERED.

The Mississippi Power & Light Co.
through its local manager, Ben F. Rose,
has made request of the city Board of
Aldermen for a presentation of the
eompany's new lower rates being Of
fered all communities served by the
power company, recently completed and
put into effect by the corporation. These
new low rates offer saving from 10
to II percent to all consumers, large
or small.
The local manager asked the board
for a hearing one day this week but the
matter was postnoned until its regular
meeting in June. The fact that the city
has nothing to lose in the matter despite
the continued efforts to indebt the tax
payers in the sum of S100,000.00 for a
loan from the PWA to build a municipal
plant, is bit hard to understand Any
saving that can be given the people of
Lexington seems very appropriate and
acceptable at this time
A hearing is scheduled relative to the
$100,000.00 loan before the Public Works
Administration at Washington this
morning. C. A. Glover, city clerk, and
Roy Brown left Sunday to be present at
the hearing. In justice to the Mississippi
pi Power & Light Co. the PWA officials
also notified them of the hearing. in
order that they could have a represen-
tative present to represent their inter-
ests and franchise held in Lexington.
1t is hardly possible to believe that the
PWA will see the need of two electric
plants to serve the needs of community
as small as Lexington. The taxpayers
hardly think so when a saving in rates
is at hand awaiting adoption by the
board of aldermen.
1t seems that a saving of from 10 to
~ per cent being offered the city with
out any investment on its part, offers
a quick solution for lower rates in Lex
ington. The future will take care of it.
self and if the power companies are
able to offer any more savings in rates
they will do so, as they have always been
alert in economical operations and pas.
sing the saving to its customers. II
anybody at this time can see the wisdom
of going into debt for $100,000oO tc
build a light plant, they should max,
their reasons known. The saving il
lower rates is available to local Gus
toners and the power company has don,
its part to have them accepted.

When it comes to dealing with the

Governments are like individuals. The

RIDING FREE HORSES.

| The newspapers of the state are be-
| ing deluged with propaganda relative
to the Forthcoming election to be held
July 10 in regard to whether or not we
will have Hetfer- legally sold and regulat-
ed in Mississippi. Most of the free
space requests are coming from list
of dry campaigners who are asking
columns of publicity for their cause.
They fail to mention anything about
paying for the courtesy and seem to for
get that all a newspaper has to sell is
its space.
Regarding such requests of the news
papers we often wonder if these organi-
cations against this and against that,
are paying these executives any money
or are they just serving merely for the
love of their cause? We hardly think
these executives are giving much OF
their time and talents without the Gus
tomary cash payments, so why should a
newspaper do the real work for them
and not get paid space rates for the
favor.
Most of the newspapers over the state
are already sounding warnings that they
will not extend credit to political adver-
time of insertion. Too many of them
have carried these charge accounts for
years and you would be surprised to
know some of the names who owe the
country weeklies to this good day for
campaigns of the past. You can buy
some of these accounts pretty cheap too,
we suspect, from majority of these
papers.
If the average bureaus of informa-
tion that devote pages of good white
paper to mailing out their copy relative
to the merits of this or that, hoping that
it will find its way into newspaper,
could only see how quick it all goes
into the waste basket, they would fire
some of those high priced writers and
invest the money in some good advertis-
ing that would get them real results for
their clients
The sooner any party, firm or corpo-
ration recognizes the real value of ad-
vertising instead of the enormous waste
of so-called news letters the better off
they would be. Newspapers do not fall
for this anymore, their space is too
valuable to donate to any such issues

FARMERS AND EDITORS
By CLAYTON Rand

Whatever else National Recovery
may have inspired, it has two MIR
acles already to its credit.
For the first time farmers cooper
ate and editors and printers work
together.
The millennium may be long time
off but right now we are just a little
closer to it.
There is no agricultural nor indus

by men and women working together.
And when farmers and editors
prosper you can bet your bottom dol
