The Wedge

A man who does a little more
work than he's asked to do, who
takes a little more care than he's
expected to, who puts the small de-
tails on an equal footing with the
more important ones-he's the man
who is going to make a success OF
his job. Each little thing done bet
ter is the thin edge of the wedge
into something better.-London Ro-
tartan.

Beard Insurance

According to the American Maya.
zine, David W. Simpson, of Browns
vile, Texas, writes insurance on
the boards grown by the men of
that city for the annual Charro days
festival. His policies insure the own

damage by fire, theft, or malicious
mischief"

infection of teeth and tonsils,

Joints of the feet, were among
the conditions found in this
group of patients.
Today, another condition,
not needing orthopedic atten-
ton, has become very common and
many "cures" for it are seen on the
pages of our newspapers and maya
zines. I am referring to ringworm
of the feet or athletes foot. And it
is actually because of an increased
desire for cleanliness that this all

Is versed in politics. He told of the
situation in rather simple and I'M
derstandable way, and when it is
summarized what he said was: We
have to have more tax receipts but
on an equitable basis. It will re-
main to be seen whether congress
sional leaders will have the CUTS to
place the taxes on sound basis.
One can look over present tax
laws and find so many instances
where tax burdens break the back
of one line of business and fail abso-
lutely to touch another. The dema-
gogues will tear their hair and moan
about taxing the poor, and proceed
to lay taxes that are hidden in
hundred articles that wage workers
must have. And that is the menace
of the present tax situation: hidden
taxes. / wonder how many political
leaders would be able to hold on to
their jobs if they would tell the truth
about the taxes they have con-
cealed.

1t is much too early for any one

be done. Next year is a year for

tax revision Especially upward) in
