prairie lands of the great river valleys were deep with black soil, and grass as high as mans waist rippled in the breeze. The newcomers could hardly believe in their luck. For here, ready to be exploited, was bread-baSket that could provide the sinew for the growth of a giant The American nation was iTl- spired from the beginning by the dim notion that men on this continent some how would be able to work out way of life in which the ordinary man would have better time of 1t = would be freer, would live better, would have few more of this worlds goods-than was the case elsewhere. And these rich middle-west- ern prairies promised the abundance that would help make the dream come true.
 But to exploit this rich land, men had tools no better than the ones with which European peasants had titled their acres in medieval times Something better was needed - something that would cut the matted soil more quickly and easily than the clumsy implements of the age of scarcity. And so some bright farmer in Illinois got the idea of turning the soil with an all-steel blade Simple device, of course - but infinitely significant, be- cause so much grew out of it.. Not only were the unnumbered millions of acres of the rich west put to work to nourish the swiftly growing nation; first step had been taken in the direction of taking the drudgery out of farming, of freeing the farmer from his old slavery to un- ending toll. .
 America was not merely to have abun- dance; it was to have abundance at steadily diminishing cost in human labor. Life was to be easier here, as well as richer Is that reading too much into modest little invention that someone was bound to make some time? Not at all; it is these modest little discoveries that soldiers, statesmen, N explorers, H but it is is the quiet men who find simple ways to make life easier and richer who really have us in their debt.

If It Comes True

The convincing victory of Donald Budge in the All-England tennis cham pionship at Wimbledon last week has raised the chances of the United States bringing back the Davis Cup to the high est point in several years. Nothing stands between us and victory now save strong German team and rather weak English team. We make this latter state ment with our own reservations. The sporting critics rate England as sure to lose the Davis Cup no matter whether the United States or Germany is the challenger.
 This Is based on the fact that Fred Perry is no longer the bulwark of the English team. Nevertheless, we prefer to regard England as standing fair chance of holding on to the trophy with the bulldog tenacity that it has shown ln other instances in past history. It is unfortunate that Bunny Austin is so little regarded in pre-game predictions, but highly praised after the battle IS over and it is found out that it was his contributions which made the victory certain.
 For several years now he has been a constant thorn in the side of all chal- lengers. Whereas Perry might be re- R6EQcQ dS d sure WulIlcI III 4llo IWO matches, Austin would only be given a doubtful one. And thereupon MT. Austin would turn the whole thing upside down by playing the magnificent international tennis of which he is very capable. A marvellous match player Austin's record in international play is one worth study ing. If it is, 1t will be seen that it was his racquet which time and again turned YHrANiota6 defeat int0 SlIcceSS
 This year he is the mainstay of the English team and the situation thus be. comes quite different. It may be just enough to spell defeat for him. Von Cramm defeated him after Austin had sailed through the doughty Bitsy Grant. We say that if Budge and his pals can get past the Germans, then all they need ko do is to beat Austin to recapture the Davis Cup. It sounds easy; maybe 1t will be astonishingly easy, but not if Austin runs true to Davis Cup form.

The Sea Claims Its Own

While this may be a bit premature, ana we hope that it will be proved wrong py tomorrow, at this writing 1t would seem as if Amelia Earhart had closed her fly- ing career in the mid-Pacific. Rescue vessels and planes have not succeeded III tracing down the distress calls which the stranded airboat's occupants are sup posed to have sent out over the weekend. So much time has elapsed since the flrst sos was received that it is highly lm- probable the noted aviatriX and her tly- ing companion could have survived this long, unless, perchance, they were picked up by a tramp steamer not equipped With radio facilities.
 If this is the close of Amelia Earhart's career, it is indeed a tragic one to one that held so much promise for the future. Every air feat that she had attempted heretofore had proved to be easy for her. Remember the emotions that were dis played when she made solo flight across the north Atlantic and brought her ship down safely on the shores of Ireland. The emotions now are just the opposite The nation will mourn, each and every per- son, at the loss of this great airWoman and charter of new air paths.
 We sincerely hope that efforts to ina the plane and its occupants will continue ynabated until all hope is gone. There are so many possibilities that cover the situation that we find it almost lmpossl- hle to believe the Earhart expedition has failed when it was so close to the finish

Humble Events

They have been having quite time lately in the pleasant little village of Grand Detour, Illinois, celebrating the tooth anniversary of the invention of the steel blow. Good-looking Illinois farm girls dressed up in 1837-style clothes, Cumbersome wooden blows of the pre- steel era were dragged around by patient oxen, and testimonial to one of the really significant events in western his- tory was put on the records. And this homaly little anniversary deserved all the celebrating 1t got. For we make mis- take when we think that 1t is only the great events = the battles, the discover les, the founding of great cities and the birth of great leaders - that shape his- tory. The humble things can be far more significant.

Selected Poem
TREES IN THE WIND

TREES IN THE WIND Dolores Cairns in the Christian Science Monitor) Because there are poplars and elms outside my
 window, All afternoon have been far in the woods Because am fortunate and companioned by tree-
 tops, My room has been filled with the rush of the wind
 through shaking leaves Long ago man, In the caverned dark of forests, l know what strange and dimly conprehended ave
 must have inspired you When that mystic presence moved unseen above
 you Voiced like the seas distant outcry. Wind that has sifted across the universe million
 times Pour your amphoric singing through the leaves. It is not strange to me- not lonely; Long have loved 1t. Trees with the wind in your leaves outside my
 window How can be sufficiently grateful For the beauty of your shaken boughs?

The government, they say, has done fine job in dredging new 15-foot chan nel up the Connecticut River as far as Hartford. Its 150 to 300 feet wide, too. When Uncle Sam's dredgers went to work on this project they did pretty good job of it. It's the deepest the rivers channel has ever been in its navigation history. However, in making a channel for big boats the dredges made a lot of new sandbars and shoals for the private yachtsmen and owners of small @boats. They are going aground on them all the time. Lower down the river two nice new bathing beaches were made and the nearby townspeople are praising the dredgers. So there you are.

Somehow or other we find it hard to get accustomed to the new name for the Irish Free State. So long have we known the gallant little island to the west of England as Ireland that it will be hard to call it anything but that No doubt the name of Fire (pronounced airy) has a deeper and fuller significance to the natives of the island but to those of us far away, yet with some connections, 1t fails to convey the message intended. What about the songs of Ireland and Erin, which, however, is more like the new name than the former? It will be & long time before we have heard the last of Ireland and Fire has completely re- placed it officially and unofficially. When country changes its name or reverts to the original title of the country it is serious matter. We are interested in seeing how Ireland, now Fire, makes out.

Marvin Jones, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee.

 House Agriculture Committee.
 The Texan has been under heavy pressure from the two sugar refineries in his State, one de- funct, the other opera chg only in- termittently. The family of Wal ter P. Woodul, Lieutenant Gov- ernor of Texas, has financial interest in the second company, and Woodul has been in Wash ington pulling powerful wires to keep the sugar bill right where it is-in a pigeon-hole in friend Jones committee. ,.,. .. Quota Without Tax ,,a ., If 1t stays there, the Adminis- tration Is licked. This Is precise ly the strategy of the sugar re- liners. At present they are enjoy ing the benefit of quotas, without : the disadvantage of being taxed for benefit payments to the sugar growers. This is the result of the Supreme Courts AAA decision, which threw out processing taxes, but left the sugar quotas intact
 Quotas are far more impor-
 tant to the refiners than any
 high tariff conceived by Ding
 ley, Hawley or Shoot. They
 place an insurmountable wall around Cuba, the Philippines,
 Puerto Rico, once their sugar
 quotas to the U. s. have been
 filled. "tpL
 Thus If the refiners can keep the sugar bill in committee half their fight Is won. The other half Is to slip through a bill to keep the present quotas without paying . tax as the Administration measure would impose. ,Es l'f &,.,. z
 NOTE-This bill undertakes to get around the Supreme Court decision by assessing an excise In. stead of a processing tax. ,' < .A Mail Bag .s Ef?

And thus many beautiful friendship has been split down through the ages. How many fights how many family quarrels, and even feuds, have resulted from frontier and boundary disputes.

of U. s. vs. Isham.
 In this decree the Court, in ef- feet, established a legal justif1ca- ton for tax avoidance by holding that any method of escaping the payment of taxes, If not specific ally prohibited by law, Is legall permissible. ... ' This far-reaching precedent has been cited In countless instances defense of tax avoidance devices. Under the language of the Court most of the tax dodging cases cited by the President in his mes sage to Congress are legally, if not ethically. defensible. This was what the Court ruled 67 years ago:
 "If a device is carried out by means of legal forms, 1t Is sub- ject to no legal ccnsure. To H. lustrate: The Stamp Act of 1862 imposed a duty of 2 cents on bank checks of not less than $20. A careful individual, having 20 to pay, pays the same by two checks of Sl0 each. He thus draws checks in payment of his debt and yet pays no stamp duty.
 "While his operations deprive the Government of duties 1t might reasonably expect to re- ceive, 1t Is not perceived that the practice Is open to the charge of fraud. He resorts to devices to evade payment of duties, but they are not illegal" Related SleuthS
 The Secret Service is enjoying a hearty laugh at the expense of J. Edgar Hoover'S vaunted q-men. They put one over on their pub licized rivals, and did 1t right un- der the G-men's noses in their own Justice Department.
 Brian McMahon, Assistant At- torney General, missed some checks from his desk. Because they were Treasury checks he summoned the Secret Service, which is @ part of that Depart Inent.
 Calls to the Secret Service from the Justice Department are very rare, 90 the s. S-men responded with alacrity, eager to serve.
 And they did. In short order they tracked down the thief, re- stored the checks, amounting to s750, and quietly went their way.
 Five days later, several G-men approached McMahon, said: we understand you were. robbed. Anything we can do?"
 No thanks" said McMahon; tits all cleaned up. The Secret Service caught the man and re- turned the checks" ..,
 Sugar War .,....
 When the President cuffed the ears Of the huge sugar lobby that has been marrying Congress for months, he brought into the open a long standing vendetta between the refiners and the AdminiStra- ton. s
 In most congressional c0ntro- versles the New Dealers scatter all over the lot, frequently wind. ing up by taking pot shots at each other. But In the sugar fight, every Cabinet officer inc volved has been 100 per cent against the refiners.
 Secretary of State Hull ap- peared personally before the House Agriculture Committee and castigated them. Secretary of the Interior Ickes went before the committee and blasted "the auda- city of one little group of manu- featuring monopolists, the cane refiners who are demanding a lee galzed monopoly for themselves" And Secretary of Agriculture Wall lace put out two sizzling state- nnents.
 Powerful and scathIng as has been this bsrrage, it has failed to break the deadlock on the Admlnistrallon's sugar bill. Chief camse Of this failure is HtffN tI lN X. Iatt0 .if f1
