washington shortly dom its Autumn /

foliage.
Then once more residents and visitors
Will witness smother spectacular proof
Of the rightness Of trees.
Poor trees suffer much ID the mod
ern world. They are tolerated BY
many, and ignored by some. A few
persons actively destroy or injure
them.
Especially In the city does the tree
have . hard time Of It. Deluged BY
gases from automobiles, confined to
: small place In an expanse Of con-
crete, the tree Of the large community
u Natures stepchild.
II is no wonder that IL attracts at-
tention. then. from many kind souls
who respond to the cry Of distress.
Naturally there has grown up some
sentiment about trees. Occasionally
this has turned into sentimentality,
but even the latter u better than the
Indifferent attitude Of many.
Even the later, however, win notice
the trees Of the National Capital
within . few days. because they win
put on such 3 show that no human
being with eyes can overlook them.
Ht+
Already & few leaves have fallen,
and some have turned yellow and .
few red.
The first really cold night win start
the annual transformation In earnest.
For several weeks the foliage Of trees
and shrubs has been ut . standstill.
Sensitive persons have thought they
could feel an air Of waiting, almost.
It was the lull before the storm Of
leayes.
Soon there would be q real trans
formation Of Washington scenery
with the final emereence Of houses
which one had not seen for several
months.
So thick Is the foliage along many
Of our streets that it - impossible
to see across the way.
Houses over there become blotted
out in early Spring, and stay 20 until
Fall.
Then It b pleasant once more 70
greet familiar facades.
The word "Fall," as the name for
Autumn. Is usage chiefly confined "a
the United States. In England they
prefer Autumn" with It's dubious
etymology.
Over here. FAN is good enough for
everyday usage. It Is one Of the prac-
tical words which use . plain mani
festation, the fall Of leaves, as the
name OF q season.
It u more used In speech than In
writing. but In the latter, too, and q
great deal more than formerly, per-
haps.
We speak Of the Fan Of the year,
meaning not only the fall Of the leaves
but also the cool air Of these pre-.
Winter months.
The turning leaves and the cool
air-these are the two great signs, the
former depending upon the latter.
These are familiar sights and thingl
ARE they any the less dear to u
because they are familiar?
Some persons would have us believe
so. They ask that . thing be new
In their sight, or that 1t possess some
novel twist, before they are willing to
credit it. as If they were 20 smart
themselves that they could not bother
about the plain things.
We wonder II they know themselves
as well rs they ought to. for the good
Of all Of us. Their constant demand
for Utilization of the intellectual senses
Is no less an irritation than the bite
Of an insect.
They do powerfully irritate many

Raymond Poincare.

Tradition and the French system Of
government reduce the stature Of the
President of the republic to that Of q
mere figurehead. In power and au-
thority he is totally eclipsed by the
president of the council, or premier.
rs that more potent ofncial u known
outside Of France. Because Of his
forceful personality and the fact that
he occupied the Elysee Palace through
out the World War period (1s1s-1s2o),
the presidency Of Raymond Poincare.
whose passing is now mourned, was
an outstanding exception to the rule
and will live Is one Of the truly great
chapters in modern French history.
Even though M. Poincare was in Of
flee during the premiership Of the
more colorful Georges Clemenceau. the
Tiger" did not outshine the chief ex-
exutive as the incarnation Of the
French will to win, and President
Poincare remained . vital force
throughout the nations grim struggle
with the German invader.
j. It became his task not only to give
. distracted people an example Of in
tense patriotism, fortitude and con-
fidence in high place, but to iron out
differences between rival generals,
keep the peace among clashing gov
ernment departments, maintain am
icable relations with Frances allies
and bolster national morale under
circumstances that frequently were
baf1ing and desperate. In times that
tried mems souls, Raymond Poincare
proved himself . sturdy and depend
able leader.
Possibly history will record that
some of M. Poincare's greatest service
to France was rendered after he left
the presidency. He became premier
and foreign minister In 1922, three
years after the peace Of Versailles,
and instigated the French occupation
Of the Ruhr, which he deemed neces-
sary to coerce the Germans into recog-
milton Of their reparation obligations.
That turned out to be m ill-starred
venture and one that did not enhance
Poincare's fame as . statesman. But
in 1926, when he was premier for the
third time, he was destined to be at
the helm when the French financial
structure was tottering to ruin. due to
the irresistible decline Of the franc.
BY q bold policy Of revaluation he
rescued the franc and stabilized
French currency on the gold standard
to . degree that made It impregnable
ever afterward. despite ensuing world
wide depression. As savior Of the
franc" NJ. Poincare's memory win long
be honored, and that service, coupled
with his wartime presidency, assures
him immortal honor In the annals
Of France. A brilliant lawyer and
scholar, he began to serve his country
as far back - the early nineties, and
his achievements In those days -
minister Of public instruction are still
remembered with gratitude - . work
which has left an enduring mark
upon, Frances system Of both primary
and higher education.
To the republic, which in recent
years has suffered 20 many blows In
the loss Of seasoned statesmen. the
American people offer sincere SYM
pathy as they stand with France to-
day at the bier Of another Of her
noblest sons.

FARMERS RECORD
BOOKS AVAILABLE

Pine county's supply of AAA farm
record books has arrived. They will
soon be distributed free to every
farmer who signed a corn-hog, wheat
or tobacco reduction contract, accord
ing to County Agent Lester O. Gil
more, who will supervise distribution.
This book contains convenient forms
on which the contract signer may
keep records to help prove compliance
with contracts which he already has
signed or may sign in the future.
Included are inventory forms for crops
and livestock; records of sales and
purchases; production summaries,
showing land usages; records of farm
products processed for home use: and
farm map form.
In connection with these records.
contract signers are advised to keep
all sales slips and other evidence of
sales received this year.
This record book is not intended
to replace other adequate systems of
accounting now being used on many
Minnesota farms. 1t is intended rather
to supplement such systems and es-
pecially to aid farmers who keep no
accounts. Many who keep these rec
ords will probably wish to adopt more
complete record systems later.
Distribution of these copies will be
made either through the mail or at
the time the applicant signs the con-
tract the second time.

SALES TAX is THORN IN
SIDE TO u. S. PUBLIC
Continued from Page -
Would Slow Us Up.

AT time when the nation is bend
ing every effort to revive business ant
increase mass purchasing power, it il
proposed to slow up business and Gu
purchasing power with a 2 per cen
tax on sales. At time when mu
nicipal economy is badly needed t.
tighten the burden of taxes, and t.
save the city from bankruptcy, it Il
proposed to maintain municipal ex
penditures at inflated levels-at The
expense of the public and particularly
at the expense of the poorest portion
of the public.
''The sales tax would bear most
heavily on those who can least
afford to pay. 1t is the income
tax upside down, drawing the
largest proportion of taxes from
the lowest class of incomes.
Workers who must spend every
penny for the necessities Of life
would pay heavily several times
day.
"Wealthier folks, who spend a
far smaller percentage OF their in
come on food and clothing and
other needs, would pay a far
smaller share. In these days two
cents on the dollar is enough to
pinch the ordinary wage.earner's
family hard.
"Passage Of the sales tax would
punish the poor for the benefit of
the politician. The FearOn.Wads.
worth bill would pick the pockets
of poverty"
The sales tax would tend to give us
a plague of speakeasy retailers tC
award this tax; it is impractical and
has the weakness of prohibition. Who
will trace these taxes? Who will col
lect them?
Progressive Expresses Appreciation.
The above article in opposition to
sales taxes, written by E. ]. Prochas-
ka of Pine City, who is chairman OF

Madison, Wis.
In appreciation of the article
William T. Evjue, editor of The Pro-
gressive, wrote Mr.. Prochaska, under
date of April IS, 1884, as follows:
Enclosed herewith is page from
current issue of The Progressive show
ing article on the sales tax written

May l not take this opportunity to
thank you for your interest

upon in a bulletin issued today par
ticularly because an abnormal num-
Der of cases of fatal appendicitis have
been reported in 1888 among unem.
ployed depression victims.
The tendency in hard times is to
neglect what appear to be minor all
ments. Among these is classed, by
far too many people, abdominal pain.
The victim is likely to take a laxa-
tive and dismiss the trouble as I'm

acute, it will not be so dismissed.
however, and each hours delay in
getting proper treatment lessons the
chance for life. If the patient has
actually taken a laxative, the addi-
tiOnal movement induced in the bowel
hastens rupture of the appendix with
resultant peritonitis and often death.
Most appendicitis deaths are the
direct result of neglect in abdominal
pain. 1t is economy to get help i'm
mediately in the case of pain any
where in the abdomen, even far from
the location Of the appendix, if it
continues more than a few hours.
Never take a laxative in abdominal
pain. Never give child with the
"tummy-ache" a laxative unless ap-
pendicitis has been ruled out.
