ing tokens of romantic epi-
sodes. They have boxes Of
dance favors, programs, let
ters, withered flowers and
so forth and we men kind of
smile at their foolishness for
saving such trash.
But-lives there a man so un-
romantic that he can dispose of
a former Sweetheart's picture
without qualm? And what do
men have jotted down in those
well-worn flat leather books they
carry in their pockets? If you
get a chance to look, you will
find names of girls and tele-
phone numbers.
That is all right for the sin.
gle fellows but fatal for hus.
bands. AS for sweethearts, we'll,
any man who carries around
names of other girls with their
telephone numbers is being
actually brutal tothe girl he
loves. Anyhow, just WHY does
he keep the names and tele-
phone numbers unless. That
is the situation in this letter:
Cold-Hearted
Young Man
Dear Sir: 1 am a young fel-
low of ~ years. Although there
isn't girl on earth nicer than
the one I am engaged to, her
one fault is that she is Sensi-
tive. She isn't just a sweet
heart, but a real understanding
pal besides.
1T may be that I am cold
blooded. as I have been on my
own since I was a child, while
she has a wonderful family. At
times I am brusque and snappy
with her and when I see how
hurt she is I tell her I am
sorry. But there is another
thing that bothers me. L carry
a small black book and in it are
names and telephone numbers
of girls 1 met before I was en-
gagged to her. ....
Although she has not told
me, I know it hurts her to know
1 have them. Shall I destroy
them or carry them, seeing they
do no real harm? Should man
cater to a girl after he becomes
engaged to her?-VIN."
1t Seems .,
Decidedly Small >.aso-
You great big bullyI Just to
show you are a he-man and can't
be swayed by any girl you carry
out the nonsense OF keeping
names of other girls. Aren't
you the great big brave hero,
though. Phooey!
What if your little pal who is
so fine and understanding would
taunt you with mementoes of
past love affairs? Would you
see red or would you see blue?
Bet you would see both and get
white with anger around the
gills.
If you love the girl why haven't
you got enough understanding
not to hurt her.
Every girl has this same sensi-
tiveness, thank goodness. You
deserve a stiff poke in the nose.

Concentration of capital in chain
systems of production and distribu-
ton has brought the independent mer-
chant face to face with disaster, Attor-
ney General William S. Erwin told a
group of independent ice dealers in
Minneapolis last week. Legislation,
said the attorney general, such as the
unfair practices act and the fair trades
act passed during the last session of
the legislature, is necessary to protect
the independent merchant and help
keep him in business. 1t is becoming
quite obvious to the independent mer-
chant that Wall street control Of
business and of government means
the growth of chain and monopolistic
enterprises, which ultimately means
the end of all private business enter
prise.

caterpillar is promised for next sum-
mer throughout an area which has
felt a noticeable infestation of the
pests-the northeastern Is counties.
Thor L. Aamodt, acting state en-
tomologiSt, points out that while ac-
tual damage to trees has been small
in recent years, the effect of the
caterpillar upon the tourist trade has
been distinctly detrimental. 1t is
going to take vigorous poison cam
paign in the section ranging from
Lake to Beltrami counties and south
to Aitkin county to bring the insects
under control. Meetings will shortly
be held over the affected district in
order to acquaint residents with the
methods of battling the obsequious
but persistent caterpillars.
The silly notion which the Twin
City dailies are trying to instill in
the minds of the public that Farmer
Laborites would chase industry out of
the state was refuted by none other
than the Minneapolis Tribune last
week
In front page article the Tribune
quotes Congressman Henry Teigan,
third district representative as ask
ing the subcommittee on appropria-
tons of the House of Representatives
to approve a project to construct the
North Minneapolis upper river harbor
for the benefit of trade and industry.
Congressman Teigan asked that the
full appropriation of S7,779,OOO be
approved. The project already has
the approval of army engineers. eff
Mississippi river navigation is to be
of any practical value to owners of
industry in Minneapolis, development
of the harbor above ST. Anthony falls
is essential" he declared.
A. L. James of st. Paul, counsel
for the Great Northern Railroad, OPP
posed the harbor project.
The state tax commissions suit
against the railroads to put railroad
right-of-way that is used for indus
trial purposes on the tax rolls sub
ject to the general property levy, was
dropped by the roads last week.
What the valuation or the amount
of tax receipts to be derived from this
new source of revenue will amount
to will not be known until near the
end of the year, according to George
Wallace, member of the tax commits
sion, but in North Dakota similar
suit some years ago resulted in $780,
900, 900 added valuation being placed
on the rolls. Until now, right-of-Way
property has been used as location
for elevators, warehouses, bulk sta
tons, and in some cities even for
retail stores, without being subject
to the property tax.

luminous farm prices, careless and
unscientific tillage practices, unsound
tenure systems, heavy debt burden,
inadequate acreage, and long con-
tinued Wastage of our farming cap
ital by soil erosion have all combined
to bring agriculture to its present
sad condition, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Henry A. Wallace told senate
committee last week.
Appearing to explain the New
Deals rural relief policies, Wallace
declared it is necessary to provide
aid for 100000 destitute farm fam
lilies, many of whom have lost their
land, their savings, and their farm
equipment and are in urgent need of
food and clothing
Another witness, Assistant WPA
Administrator Corrington Gill, told
the committee that 25 per cent of the
farm population had at one time or
another since 1888 been forced to ac-

or defending labor leader Debs.
He chose Debs, and in doing so
chose the labor movement, the pro-
gressive cause, and he accepted the
challenge of the great interests who
wanted to use the courts to break
the back of organized labor. That
was in 1894. Later he said, ''The
decision to defend Debs led me away
from the world of wealth to that of
wretchednesS and misery. For max

in the role of champion of the under

Iron ore royalty tax receipts col

A campaign against the forest tent
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-19

The neighborhood was rocked late Tuesday afternoon by the explosion, and the converted oil drum used as an incinerator was ripped to pieces. It was thought yesterday that an extra fuse cap or two might have exploded, but an executive of the Patterson Explosive Company of Torrlngton told firemen that Tues days explosion was caused by dyna- mite. He said that perhaps por- tion of a stick had blown up.
 The incinerator stood adjacent to the offices and buildings of Thomas Moran and Sons, builders and con- tractors.
 Just 8 year ago today, an inciner- ator standing in the same spot ex- ploded, and lawsuit based on that blast is still pending. At that time authorities blamed the explosion on an accumulation of natural gas in the can filled with debris.
 The dynamite bomb was discovert ] by firemen yesterday in goin, through the contents of the inciner. ator. It contained four sticks of dynamite lashed together. Had it gone off, serious damage and possi- ble loss of life would have resulted
