 MARDI CRASPLANS
Rlchie's Water Circus Opens Weeks Engage.
 nient Monday

Featuring the annual Mardi 0ras of the Hopeville Community blub, to be held during the week oe Sept. 1e to 21st inclusive, at Piedmont Stadium will be Richie's Water Show, which is heralded as a thrilling exhibition of dare- deviltry combined with graceful hiving."
 A group of attractive young bathing beauties who can really swim and dive will give exhibitions of intricate fancy diving and other feats of really dangerous and thrilling nature, using a small tank of water for the purpose.
 Two of the charming young wa ter nymphs execute breath talk ing dive together from towering ladder, the topmost platform of which Is high above the ground. The program is replete with thrills and diving and swimming of championship calibre, with the added attraction of a clown diver whose antics will call to mind the famous "Stubby" Krueger.
 As a climax one of the perform CTS will be seen in sensational high fire dive. Gallons of gasoline will be poured into the water tank and set .afire. The blazing gasoline floats on the surface of the water while mass of flames shoot high into the air from the tank. From his diving platform atop the tow CT, the daredevil dives into the inferno. The feat is particularly effective at night.
 Raymond E. French and William Semple of the Mardi Gras com mittee have completed plans for the big event, which will feature a midway, amusements rides and other acts. Prizes will be given each night.

Several years ago the late Chief Justice Taft de-
clared that American criminal procedure was a dis
grace to the nation. A recent utterance on the same
subject by Judge Walter B. Jones Of Alabama is to the
same effect, and is worthy of being widely published.
He said, in substance:
In the interest OF justice and in the name OF COM
mon sense a change Is needed In the Ideas we have
about criminal trials. Instead OF a procedure In which
one side works entirely with the object OF finding a
defendant guilty and the other side with the object
of finding him entirely innocent, both sides disregard
ing or distorting the facts to suit their opposing pur-
poses, he suggests that everything should be subor-
dinate to the truth, and then let the chips fall where
they may.
He pleads for doing away with the absurdities Of
the average criminal trial, for sweeping away all sham
and pretense, and the s~Quelching OF technicalities
which serve only to defeat the ends OF justice. In con-
clusion Judge Jones declares:
we are living in an age of the airplaneImachine
gun killer and rUbber, and yet we are apparently con-
tent to hunt him in an oxcart with s~lingshot."

A SANE REDUCING DIET

While no weight must be gained
In Following the two weeks of rigid
dieting on bananas and SKINNED
milk. yet the food must be suited to
the activities and needs Of the pa,
tients. For about ten days or two
weeks, meat may be eaten in moder-
alton, also poultry. eggs and fish
without gravy. Extra sugar or flour
breads containing lard and fats
should be avoided.
Exercise Is most important. Walk
ing is always beneficial and can be
lndulged In by nearly everyone,
though 1t should not be carried to
the point Of exhaustion. 1t goes with
out saying that during the two weeks
while the patient Is Off the banana
and SKINNED milk diet, he should
include plenty OF green vegetables
and salads in his regimen, such as
coleslaw. lettuce, tomatoes, carrots.
radishes and green cooked yegeta-
bles.
At the end Of the first two weeks
there Is a loss Of weight from four
to nine pounds. II a moderate amount
OF exercise is taken.
1t Is dangerous for people to re-
duce too strenuously or rapidly, es-
pecially II they are suffering from
an organic disease. The aged as we'll
as the young should be extra careful.
No one should attempt a radical de-
duction of weight without consulting
a physician. who s~upervises the case
throughout. People have done them
selves irreparable injury by strenu-
ously dieting, when they lacked the
scientific knowledge necessary for
safe reducing.
Mayonnaise that Is made with min
eral oil Is more wholesome than
when made with vegetable or ami
NAL oils. The mineral Oil helps elm

upsets the digestion and in every way
is as palatable as the vegetable oil

MI. Hope declared that II the drive

Is successful then ell processing
taxes will go and "then u tariff sys'

not a threat, but IAN economic fact"
because under present conditions

The Suicide Brigade

There seems to be a good many people in this
country who don't care much for living but who would
be the first to be aghast If you accused them of it For
no reason at all, they are constantly and cheerfully
risking their necks-and yours.
This group Of citizens-who total hundreds OF
th-ousands-constitute our reckless. ignorant and IT.
responsible motorists. Consciously or unconscously
possessed of the idea that their abilities are not
second to those of the daredevils OF the race tracks,
they make a practice OF driving faster than the law
allows, even though they are going nowhere in par
ticular and have all the time in the world to get there.
They weave in and out OF tratfic-if they waited until
the roadway was clear for passing, they'd lose a prec-
ious second or SO. They drive on the wrong side OF the
road. They have a contempt for traffic lights and sig
nails, which were obviously created for less gifted
morals. They laugh at the rumored perils OF hills and
curves, and take extreme pleasure In passing on them.
When their brakes go bad and their steering and light
ing systems falter. they put off repairs until some dis
tant tomorrow-theyll certainly be able to get by
until then without a mishap. And so it goes, down the
entire list Of acts of commission and omission that
cause our toll of 35, 900 automobile deaths per year.
The rest of US wouldn't have any kick coming II
the suicide brigade risked their own lives only-that,
after all, would be their prerogative. But they menace
us as well-menace everyone and everything which
uses the streets and highways. The innocent suffer
along with the guilty-and, unless these drivers are
curbed, each of us run an excellent chance OF being
numbered among the victims OF the suicide brigade.

MOTHERS
...DAY...

Sunday, May IL, is Mothers Day,
an annual event which Is observed
by Americans. Mothers Day was
not originated by executive procla-
nation, legislative enactment, o
10 II a religious dictum. The idea
had ito birth in the heart Of Miss
Anna Jarvis Of Philadelphia, In
1907, when she suggested that
mothers wear a ~carnation on the
second Sunday In May every year.
Philadelphia was the first city
to adopt this new custom, and on
May 10, which was the second SUM-
day In May, 1908 Mothers Day
was formally adopted there. Since
that time the movement has spread
until now il IL a national occasion
for ~honoring the women who gave
W birth.
II Is but fitting and proper that
U mothers should be 20 honored
and placed on a pedestal above all
our other worldly possessions, for
mothers are always at the front
fighting for their offspring, giving
all, asking nothing In return. Her
bert Kaufman, noted writer, paid a
tribute to "The Prairie Mother"
which seems to typify the spirit Of
mothers Of all time. He said In
part.
"....She asked no pity for her
broken arches, her aching back,
her poor, onarled hands. Or for the
wistfuI memories Of a fairer youth
In sweeter lands.
"She gave America the great
northwest, and was too proud to
bubble at the cost Of the stalwart
sons to whom she wlIIed II.
"She mothered MEN,"
With all the sentiment Of that
great writer, let 10 keep the obser-
vance Of Mothers Day, and perpet-
uate Ito spirit every day.

facts you can and make up your
mind intelligently.
William l. Myers, who succeeded
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., as Governor
Of the Farm Credit Administration.
says there Is striking improvement
in the morale Of the farmers OF the
nation, the outlook for agriculture is
the best in years and the present sit
uation justifies optimism"
Mr.. Myers, in reviewing the work
Of the FCA said that $4,000 loans ag-
gregating 1858 900, 900 had been ad-
vanced to farmers, on a basis where
reasonable expectation could be held
out for ultimate repayment. He re-
vealed that farm delinquencies were
about 6 2-3 per cent as OF last month
and that farm values have increased
Is per cent in two years after sue
cessive declines from 1920 to 1880,
which aggregated about fifty per
cent.
The fac. that the Senate recon-
mitted the Bank head bill Is no indi-
cation that the measure will not pass
and establish a new permanent gov
eminent policy, intended to stop the
constant increase in the number OF
farms operated by tenants.
It Is estimated that there are five
million of share choppers and labor
ers who would have a chance, under
the bill, to acquire a farm, with nee
essary buildings, equipment, machin-
cry and implements, live stock and
supplies, with sixty years to pay for
1t. Under the measure no farm thus
financed shall exceed In area the
average size of the farm In any given
! State. Moreover, these farms are to
free OF all liens or membranes SO
long as they remain homesteads,
| which means, apparently, goodbye to
| the old-fashioned farm mortgage so
| far as these contracts are concerned.
Between 900 900 and 100000 ad-
| ditional acres of wheat will be plant
| ed, with an increased production OF
| from ten to thirty million bushels,
depending upon the weather, as a
| result OF the decision OF Comptroller
General McCarl to approve the modi-
fled wheat program OF the AAA.
The continued drouth In the wheat
area made the AAA anxious to re-
move restrictions on the spring crop
but did not wish to deny the growers
the benefit payments that were to
be theirs in accordance with the con-
tracts they had signed. BY the ruling
no obstacle remains to the program
and forms are being rushed to the
growers affected. They will be re-
Quired to agree, however, to make
corresponding reductions next year,
II necessary.
1t Is not necessary for growers to
wait on the new forms but they may
proceed with increased planting II
they promptly notify the county COM
mittees and sign the contracts later.

A Stabilizing Influence

Life insurance Is regarded by the average person
solely as an individual contract between him and his
insurance company, whereby the company agrees to
make certain Sums available at a specified time In
consideration Of fxed premiums. However, the five
years of depression through which the country has
passed should have concentrated public attention upon
life insurance as one of the greatest economic stab
ilizers in the nation.
Black headlines chronicle, from time to time, the
enormous amounts being paid out by the government
for the relief Of the unemployed. But the fact that
more than thirteen billions OF dollars were paid by
life insurance companies to policyholders and benefic-
iaries in the United States between 1929 and 1884,
goes practically unnoted. These payments, averaging
about s2,7 ,O00.O 900 a year. were equal to about one
tenth of all wages paid in the nation, and were sew
eral times greater than the total OF all government
relief expenditures for the period.
In the lush years there were those who were In
clined to look lightly upon the conservative invest
ment policy Of insurance companies. But this conser-
vative policy was responsible for the almost unbeliev-
ably excellent performance OF the insurance business
throughout the depression. Once more. as In numer-
GUS preceding national depressions, the life insurance
companies have demonstrated that they are worthy
~custodians OF the peoples money.
In the face OF the nationwide suffering that &C
companies unemployment, the message OF Life lnsur-
ance Week comes this year with peculiar force: THE
sooner you plan your future, the better your future
will be-"

1t is an important event in the life OF any person
and the future Of any graduate is to be largely deter
mined by what happens In the four or five years Inn
mediately following high school. We hope that most
OF our young graduates will he able to attend college,
because the training acquired, and the ~broadened out
look that follows, is one Of the best assets Of a young
man or woman.
Let us caution the graduates OF Sheridan county
schools, however, that intelligence In itself, is not the

towards the end. Acquire intelligence by all means
but develop spiritually with it. The nation has need
