Hog Processing Tax
Brings Farmers Ruin
By a Worker Correspondent

BY a Worker Correspondent
SHERMAN, N. Y.-The effect
of this hog processing tax is dis
oouraging the raising of hogs.
While to all appearances the
packers are reaping a rich profit
on their stores of hog products
the farmer gets less for his pork.
When I first subscribed for the
Rural New Yorker they used to
publish retail prices in New York
City. I have not seen any for a
long time. The reason seems ap-
parent. The Rural New Yorker
does not want the farmer to
know how he is being skinned.

No NeM Hoes.
Only Robbery
By Landlord
By a sharecropper Correspondent

BY a SharecrOpper Correspondent
HOPE HILL, Ala.-We are on a
plantation here for Is years, and
some have been here still longer.
The landlord doesn't furnish any,
thing to the tenants and on some
farms they get tools for blowing and
farming but not here. In 1888, we
plowed up all the cotton, and did
not see paper, let alone coin money.
In 1884 we rented so much to the
government and they paid rental
per acre. The landlord told us it
was our money, but he was going to
take it and buy fertilizer. We did
not like this, and then we went to
the relief and asked for help. They
did not help any Of us.
We are charged two bales rent
to the farm, and we want to buy a
mule to farm with, and some
haven't sown any acres in cotton,
and must pay three bales for rent,
and are still being held for back
rent. Our hoes need repairing and
the landlord says he hasn't got any
others. They need repairing bad,
and he wants the cotton every year.
We are tired Of this way of doing
things.
At the beginning of the fall, the
landlord brought two blanks, one
for him to trustee over us, and one
saying that the tenant could be his
own boss, and saw to our signing
away to the boss our one way to
live. And then we all got our own
gin for ginning, and he still. wants
US to give the cotton to him, and
he bosses the ticket as he wants to.

shoe because it will support your
ankle as well as your arch, and any
one who stands long hours on his
feet certainly requires the greatest
amount of support.
The orthopedic shoes can be
bought in any shoe store. When
you buy the shoes, have the shoe
maker wedge the inner margin OF
both heels one-quarter of an inch.
That will raise the shoe slightly on
the inner margin and thus relieve
the tension that generally falls on
the main arch of the foot.
Metal arches do not cure and re-
lief weakened and fiattened feet.
These arches are often heavy and
cumbersome and instead of reliev-
ing the pain, often aggravate 1t.
Arches have been widely advertised
by their manufacturers or by 6loe
stores simply because they bring
huge profit to them. would, there
fore, urge you to save your $3.50 by
not buying any of these arches.
A good method to relieve tired,
aching feet is to battle them in
warm EPSON salt solution every
night. Put from one-third to one
half cup of EPSON salt in basin
of warm water and keep your feet
in it at least twenty to thirty min
utes.
Prominent Adams Apple
C. B., Paterson, N. J.-This COM
rade wants to know how promi-
nent Adams apple can be made
less protruding.
The Adams apple which is stu
ated in the middle line of the neck
is formed by an angle of two wings
of cartilage forming the voice box.
The sharper the angle, the more
protruding the prominence. To
peel" this so-called apple surgicaIly,
to make it less conspicuous would
mean to endanger the vocal cords.
ANY other treatments are unknown.
Since it is only a question Of APP
pearance, one should find way to
hide this protrusion as much as pos
sible.
Exercising the muscles Of the
neck, putting on weight is of bene-
fit. Wearing a high collar, trying
to hold the head forward instead
of backward, would help to some
extent. Many people have it and
can manage to forget it.

SEASON CAUSES
 SEWAGE TROUBLE
Home Buyer ShOnld Con- slider Drainage Too, Ad-
 vises Health Dept

For their hoalth's sake builders of homes and purchasers of prop orty should consider, before build- ing or buying, the major problems of proper sewage disposal and proper drainage, and make defl! Tiitely certain that an adequate so- luton to both problems ia provid. cd in and about the building, the state department of health advised today In its weekly bulletin, in which 1t pointed out that drainage and sewage nuisances usually do, vclop in the wet weather of the present season. tsit
 Where no public sewerage sys- tenn is availab bio, careful coneldorn. ton must be given tho sewage dis- posa1 problems and the answer does not necessarily rest with sep- tic tanks, the bulletin said. Septic tanks arc efficient only in certain kinds of soil. The fluid overflow from them must bo disposed of by scepnge Into the soil. If the un- deriving ground formation is ail rock or tight clay, or # tho ground water Is very high during parts of tho year, this seopage cannot take place and q nuisance results. 4 state law prohibits dischnrge of sewage pollution into streams or other bodies of water.
 Some serious situations arise, tho bulletin reports, in which people arc faced with the possibility oi having to move out of thcir homcl Co get away from sewage nuisance conditions. Soino municipalities have ordinances prohibition the Construction of buildings unless satisfactory sewage disposal can be provided, but those are in tho minority.
 The state department of health has available without charge q pamphlet dealing with sewage problems that should borof assist. anco to tho homo builders.
 Hand in hand with the sowngc problem goes tho drainage prob. iom. Unless proper drainage Is pro. yldod on one's property, pools oi stagnant water will develop apt m mosquitoes will breed. somotimei flooding Of collars results from
 poor drainage. There is no obliga' ton on tho part of municipalities to provide drainage for private property although mosquito contro and tho installation of storm sew
 CTS are often municipal projects In certain cases, tho propert!
 owner may bo compelled to hil iT land to abate mosquito nuisnncca Persons obstructing natural drain age may, according to law, be re- quired to freo tho drainage.

 Following the practice instituted last year preference will be given to applicants who are shown to have a real need of tho position as well as meeting other qualifica- tions for the appointment.

Slate Seems Good

On two occasions he spoke brief ly but to the point. And now that the appointments have been made, even though republicans are na- turally disappointed because some of their admittedly capable office holders were not retained in office. 1t seems very likely the new slate will be able 10 carry out their duties just as well if not better.
 And the appointments seem to satisfy many democrats who are quite hard to satisfy. The move 10 put as ire chief man who has had experience in it. and a mem Der of the department seems to meet with tho approval of the fire- men and the public.
 There is no doubt Chief Thomas Walker did good job when he held the office but under the pres ent systems Of politics in town. which In the opinion of many iB open to criticism, no office holder is sure of his job from year to year irrespective of party.
 lt vas just a. fair for democrats to oust republicans as 1t was Tor republicans to oust democrats but many claim that neither action ia falr to the town if mon who are of proved capability and efficiency are removed. However it will prob- ably be many years before any po- iitical Utopia is reached here.
