DR.. Warren F.. Fox. chairman OF
the Imperial County committee fer
the celebration of the President S
birthday. Wednesday, pointed out
that from Jan. l to Oct. Is, 1887
infantile paralysis struck $3.50 per-
sons in the United States-a fig
ure which was exceeded only by
the 9,296 cases in 1885 and the 10
GOO for the year 1881. A recent
survey in a mid-WeStern city IN
which $4,000 persons in over 5000
families were tabulated, it was
found that 25 per cent of all major
orthopedic cases in individuals un-
der the age of 25 years were due
to infantile paralysis while 9i2 per
cent in individuals over % years
were caused by the same disease.
According to reports. over 100000

THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN

Mississippi taxpayers, from now on, may expect
at any time 10 find themselves holding the bag for
many new and hopeful industries. The legislature
oF tina. hitherto Observation-Disclosures state has
surpassed al! other lawmaking bodies in hatching
co-gcter schemes. II offers the supreme contribu-
ton 10 the tricks Of the town booster in an act
which permits local governments 10 appropriate
public funds for industrial construction and OPP
Grafton
Under the provisions Of this law any Mississippi
town that feels Inundated by It's lack of soap fac
tories or brick kilns whatever may be it's de-
fcency and chief desire, may issue bonds TO finance
the construction Of such plants, and then lease
them 10 private persons for operation. The proce-
durc is TO apply to the state Industrial commission
for formal permission and, if it Is granted to sub
nit the proposal to the electorate at special cleo
ton The issue must carry by two-thirdS ma
jority
The Law has survived court test. 1t has been
upheld BY the State supreme court and the United
States supreme court has denied a review. Nothing
remains now but for the Mississippi politicians to
decide which Of their friends they wish to set up
in what industry, pull the wires Of the State In
dustrial commission bayhoo the delights Of bcIch-
ing smokcstacks, and make poor John Smith a
factory owner In fact, during the two years or so
that the law has been in effect, eight plants have
been constructed under its terms and many others
are in contemplation.
The next STEP plainly enough, will be TO guaran-
tee the weekly payroll Does that sound impossi-
bic Well, did the present act sound impossible

minds and lofty ideals, eager at all times to put

AMERICAS SHAME

When an important industry reports shortage
of labor these days it is real news. And when, de-
spite such a condition, relief rolls in that same
section show steady increase, there is food for
some sober thought The New York Department
of Agriculture recently issued bulletin in which
it said: Many farmers of New York state are
seriously handicapped and were even in the duh
winter season, by a scarcity Of labor" The reason
as set forth is the unwillingness Of city iders to
leave the security and assistance given them by
public and private agencies when they become I'M
employed in industry They would rather be paid
for loafing in the city than take job for pay on
the farm And this is the kind of reports that are
making taxpayers of Rutherford county sick and
tired of 'relief" as it is now doled out in every
section of the nation. 1t is reports OF this KIND
which are certain to hasten a cleanup OF the
whole mess-Forest City Courier.

politicians seeking to obtain tn"
Democratic nomination of Lieut.

Right through the window pane.
I'm here to plant within your
soul
Great JOY instead of pain.
Good morning" said the flowers
gay,
Their heads all wet with dew,

And spend the day with you"
Good morning" said the birds

AS they would buz and sing.
"We're very small out in the

But JOY and gladness bring"
Good morning" another softly
said,
But no one could be seen.
1t was breeze just passing by
To cool a fevered head.
