THE OLD ORCHARD
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Hard by an old apple orchard, That spot comes back to me now, Tree limbs gnarled and uneven, Irregular, hit-or-miss, anyhow. The years grew them ever more twisted, More ancient but still they held fast Each May they bore many blossoms Though each season seemed like it's last New orchards have their own splendor, Symmetry, regularity, it's true, They blossom forth in delicate beauty, Hundreds of trees, not just few. But give me that old mellow orchard Just at the bend of the road, The biggest tree standing 50 valiant Proud of its early Spring load Of blossoms lovely and sweet smelling Right near the old north lot One of the joys of the Springtime Is return to that well remembered spot.

Tax Lien On
Cotton Now
Is Repealed
Multiplying of Bank
head Act Carried
That Provision ,
Congressman Says

Washington, Feb. 13 (AP)-Officials
of the AAA cotton section said today
they had been informed by the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue that cotton
on which there was tax lien as re-
suit Of the Bankhead act can be sold
freely without paying the tax.
This development followed an asser-
ton by Representative Chandler,
Democrat, Tennessee, in message to
the Memphis Cotton Exchange, that
Congress intended to cancel the tax
and lien when it repealed the Bank
head law, and that he would intro
ducc a clarifying resolution if the
Treasury did not concur in his inter
probation.
A spokesman for the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau told reporters that taxes
which became due under the Bank
head act, and were never paid arc
still due. He said, however, that Con-
grcss had repealed the provision that
cotton could not be sold, transported
cd or opened unless it had a tag show
ing it as tax-paid or entitled to tax
exemption. This will permit the cot
ton to be sold freely without payment
of the tax.
AS to whether Bankhead act taxes
paid by farmers would be refunded,
government lawyers said today the
levcs would be kept by the govern
ment unless the tax is declared in
valid"

New York Feb. 13.-Are people be-

the question posed by G. ]. Kochen-

Small wonder that many millions
of persons in America are confused

The editorial, after relating some of
the arguments presented, makes these
conclusions:
"In the speed with which material
advancement has been made during
the past half century an impotence
has developed among many people
who seem to think that some form OF
magic can be submitted for slow

FARLEY BECOMING
MENACE TO PARTY
Norris Opinion He Should
Quit Cabinet Shared by
Many Democrats
BY CHARLES +. STEWART
Central Press staff Writer

Washington, Feb. IL. Senator
George W. Norris warming that James
A. Farley us postmaster general, will
cost President Roosevelt millions Of
votes" next November is sugges-
ton that plenty of Democratic poll
ticians wish the White House would
heed.
On the other hand there are COM
petent political judges who believe it
is too late to unload Farley now
They wanted him jettisoned n cou-
pie Of years ago, which would have
given the public time to forget his
cabinet connection. At the present
writing. however, they reason that the
damage he has done cannot he re-
paired. and that dumping him over
board simply would amount to an adj
mission that it ought to have been
done sooner.
NORRIS IS IMPARTIAL
No one else could have deplOred the
postmaster generally nearly as effec-
lively as the Nebraska 1enatOr.
Pro-administration Democrats can
not afford to deplore him at all.
It is taken for granted that insur-
gent Democratic craftsmanship will
deplore him; that brand of criticism
discounts itself.
Republican criticism also is recog-
nized as to be expected.
But Senator Norris certainly is i'm
partial. I'd use the word honest" but
