Canadian Editor Gapes at Roosevelt Squandering TORONTO, Can.--Canadian editors and readers are noting the spending program of the Roosevelt administration. The Financial Post of Toronto, a non-partisan publication, quotes an article in the Sphere of Washington (a monthly magazine of fairly broad views, published by Whaley-Eaton) as saying: "He (Roosevelt) is the most extravagant ruler ever known to recorded history. Not even Solomqn, who left the people of his country impoverished, could hold a candle to him. He has dipped into the stored reserves of the nation--those reserved which were created by sweat and blood of men and women-- and he has squandered them like a prodigal. "Nor has that contented him. He has 'dipt into the future far as human eye can see', and mortgaged everything in sight. He has raided the integrity of every insurance policy in the United States. He has flung the shadow of a possible inflation, worse than a pestilence, over every hearthstone in the country. For every one person trf whom he could possibly promise economic security, he has deprived tea oi that security." of Hidden Taxes Chicago.--Indirect taxes, which are hidden from the average citizen, furnished about 60 per cent of federal revenues in the fiscal year 1936, as compared with 29 per cent in 1930. Average Farmer $197 Loser Under Roosevelt Chicago.--The Roosevelt administration paid the average farmer $176 in benefit checks while loading an increase of $373 in national debt^upon him up ,to June 30, 193t3. says, a statement by the farm division of \he Republican National committee here. "Government appropriations ior the four year period, beginning March 4, 1933," says the statement, "greatly exceed the value of all farms in the United States. They amounted to $37,499,976,000. The value of rural real estate and buildings in 1935 was $32,858,844,000." DESERTS NEW DEAL OMAHA, Neb.--"Neither Democratic nor for the best interest of the country," are "certain Administration measures and some doctrines," declared United Statei Senator Edward R. Burke (above). He promptly resigned as Democratic national committeeman from Nebraska. of Imported Pork In the six months ended June&O, with New Deal "scarcity" and free trade treaties in effect, American families ate 1$ million pounds of foreign pork. This is three times the consumption of imported pork in any of the ten entire years preceding. yv:'V;\ HOW WORDS MAY BE IMPRINTED ON PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINT.-- Sometimes it is "desired to' imprint names, dates, serial numbers of copyright notices in the corners of photographic prints. Two method® may be used to accomplish this purpose, according to a writer in the Detroit News. A pocket flashlight may be used as the printing tool. The type kwith a flat lens is best. The lens is opaqued with a positive transparency, which includes as its only clear spaces the words, or figures to be imprinted. The flashlight is pressed firmly to the paper and is turned • on. On development of the print, the legend will show in black letters. / White inscriptions', are obtained by writing the legend on cellophane with. India ink. The small square of cellophane is placed on tfie "paper during exposure, preferably in-a brilliantly- Ughtgd corner of the projected image or on a relatively clear space of the 1 negative when contact prints are being made. Thus." the outlini^- of the cellophane" will not obtrude. The resultant letters or figures will show white. « ; . ' • How to Get Rid of Moles in the Gardens and La wits There are dozens of remedies for getting rid of moles, tjut I am afraid that not one of them is entirely satisfactory, says a correspondent. Traps will account for a good many of them if they are properly set. In order to do this the main run must be located and the traps set there. Opening up the runs and placing a teaspoonful of paradichlorobenzene every six or 10' feet has been recommended. Another fnethod is to asphyxiate them by the exhaust gas from an automobile. Then let the motor run for 20 minutes or so. Other remedies range from placing casto^ beans in the runs, . j meat and strychnine baits, and the use of calcium cyanide and carbon disul* phide.

How BritUh Toast Kiaf - The king's health must be drunk seated by all naval messes, whether oii ship or on shore. There are two exceptions to this general rule, when the toast must be dVunk standing. The first is when the national anthem is played, the second when the rulers of foreign countries are included in the toasts that are drunk to the king. The custom of drinking the loyal toast seated is said to have originated in the days of the old wooden warships, in which there was often not enough room for a man to stand upright below decks. --Pearson's Weekly. i V Among those who enjoyed a day IT the fair at Elkhorn, Wis., were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hergott, daughters, Lucille and Janet; Mrs. Al Schmeltzer and her mother, Mrs. Edith Cleveland of Round Lake; Paul Weber, Alyce Nodland, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kattner, and Mr. and Mrs. John Kattner; -- Mrs. Nick Nett entertained members of her club at Fox Lake Country Club Thursday evening.
