"Fireweed"

Because the spiked willow herb
thriyes where forest fires have
devastated the landscape, 1t has
well earned the name of 'fireweed."
In June it begins to blossom. and
its flowers open In slow succession
all during the summer, leaving be-
hind them long seed vessels. The
flower is magenta-pink in color, and
the leaves resemble those of will
low trees.

IT'S BEEN SO long since we

IT'S BEEN so long since we have
printed a communication from
reader that we wonder what's the
mater. We are always ready and
eager to print communications on
subjects of general interest to the
people of the community. All we
ask is that they be written plainly,
on one side of the paper only, not
too long. and on some subject of
general interest. Air your views,
let's start friendly discussion thru
the columns of the paper-there
are certainly a multitude of sub
jects this day and age.

It is pleasure to visit with q
person with whom one does not
have to use a guarded tongue and
weigh every remark before it is
male. To be assured that nothing
that Is said will be carried piece
neal to another and there misun-
derstood. To know that if things OF
an obviously confidential nature
are discussed one does not have to
ask that this or that be treated in
confidence. Such an association is a
delight. Before such listener one
can relax vigilance and be wholly
sincere ~. -.

COME idea OF how long it takes
- to pay for a war may be gained
from the fact that though it has
been seventy years since the Civil
war closed we are still paying for
it at the rate Of 100000 month.

to have rule that no war could
be waged until the last one fought
was paid for.

reached on real estate, that is the
tax against real estate has reach
ed a point where in many sections
there is no desire to own property

ALI. OVER this country may be

found protests and movements
against war Many groups are pledg-
ing themselves that they will not
engage in war in other lands. 1t is
easy TO make such pledge in times
of peace and it is easy for those in
sympathy with the move to abolish
war to cheer on the makers of such
pledges but when the critical mo-
ment comes. when the press is fill
ed with the propaganda of war,
when minute men are telling the
people from the platforms and ra-
dio of the country's call to its red
FLOODED young men, when thousands
are enlisting under the colors in
every city, village and hamlet in
the land then it is not so easy to
stand up and say one will not
fight. Not only is there the call to
ones own conscious but the other
call expressed in the look, the shrug
of the shoulder or even the silence
of those who are taking up arms.
This is a lash that cuts and stings
and whose memory will not depart
as long as one lives to remember.
This is the force that pacifists and
those opposed to war do not take
into consideration. 1t should not be
moderated. 1t is most powerful in
fluence in deciding a mans course
of action at any time and especial
ly in times such as this.

which taxes are levied by taxing

In my state, and it is no excep-
ton to any other state, an income
tax was recently passed. The legis-
lature seized the income from the
income tax and put it into the gem
eral state fund explaining to the
voters that this would result in q
reduction of the state levy. Two
years after this was done the state
levy was raised and an additional
deficiency levy run. The state in
come tax in my state has become
the very thing its sponsors promis-
ed it would not become just anoth-
er tax.

The gas tax is one example. The
gas tax started out with a small
levy. It has grown until seven
states have as much as a seven
cent tax, almost so percent of the
cost of the gas itself. Other taxes
that will follow the same course are
the income tax, the corporation
tax, the inheritance tax and the
nuisance taxes.

/ am one of those who peieve

er half either should not be wrung
from the taxpayer or being taken
should be returned to them in the
form of more good roads, better

The trend if it continues is GO

Perhaps the thrill Of smashing rec

since he bettered three world marks

Only once. as he led his Ohio State
University team to the c. !. C. cham

be letting 60 as he did at Ann Arbor.
He streaked down the runway In the
broad Jump and bounded away to q
great leap of 26 feet az inches to
better for the second time In two
weeks the accepted world record Of
26 feet az inches listed under the
name of Chuhei Nambu Of Japan.
The Jump was. however, not quite 30

WITHOUT extending himself too
w much, the Buckeye Negro won
the 1O0-yard dash in 9.6 seconds, and
came from behind with terrific burst
to win the 200-yard dash In ais sec

tury on several occasions and has
stunning 20.3 seconds for the 220 up
for consideration as world mark.
The Buckeyes scored 81 points IN
succeeding Indiana's G. I. G. team as
winner, and Wisconsin and Indiana
gave the Big Ten the next two places

FROM THE PRESS BOX
Members of Fighting Set Absent-nfnded
in Baer.Braddock Title Fight Comment.
By JOHN LARDNER-

nobody that can stand up against
II. And of all the suckers for my
right hand, this Braddock Is the big
gest sucker.
"Why, IN belt him In the
body and the chin till he
wishes he never went In for
fighting. He'll wake up on
Christmas day, late in the aft
efnoon."
This statement. aside from its frank
fearlessness, is mystifying. Does Max
remember the day last month when
he thought Braddock was fine
fighter? Or was he Just being polite
in Braddock's presence? I trust not,
because he will be in very close touch
with Jimmy on the night Of June l3
and his friendly disposition viii be so
much surplus baggage then.
Our Max Is Q great kidder, but
think he really believes he win rock
Mr.. Braddock to sleep In no time at
all. His choice Of sparring partners
shows that don't wish to offend
these boys, but the amount Of sparring
they do could be described on the
head of q pin alongside the text Of
the United States Constitution. They
put their dukes in Mr.. Baer's face
and lean there like barflies.
Max feels that he will win
without the help Of sparring
partners. So does almost every
body else, for the odds are
and ) TO 1 against Bradd0ck,
with few takers.
But that's not the point of our
sermon. These fight people should
struggle against absfnt-nindedness
and try to fix 1t 50 that their right
hands. will know what their left hands
