The only criticism we heard of "The City" that

our real point in reply is that averages

we have done little about it, first because get
used to it, and second because often fail to
a1ize how widespread is the situation we see, and
third because in this complicated world tremendous
effort is needed for any change.
Books like "Grapes of WRATH and pictures like
"The City" and plays like "A Third of Nation"

until faremrs learn to harvest their

were importing seed from Mississippi
but as soon as seed pans were intro

Crimson clover is in the same po-
sition that lespedeza was years ago
Farmers want to grow it, but the
seed is expensive and very few farm
ers have way to save their own.
There is simple, Inexpensive anc
practical method of harvesting Grim

The lespedeza seed pan can b.

Tax Bargain Day

CAVINGS Of up to $50 per cent in accumulated in

up delinquent for the years 1887 and prior or
ouent tax relief bill passed by the last state legsla
ture will be no more. And consequently, after this
day accumulated interest against delinquent taxes,
which has been piing up through the years, will be
added to the unpaid tax bills.
When it is remembered that the annual penalties
for nonpayment of taxes run ten per cent per year,
and that delinquent taxes run back to the tax year
1924 the savings to delinquent taxpayers who take
advantage of the relief bill can be preceived.
When the law expires, after the close of business
