Industrial and financial reports emancipating from all parts of the country cannot all be wrong, and if only one-half of them are correct, then there certainly is cause for gen- eral rejoicing all over the land. After what the people of this country have gone through during the past six years it is difficult for them to believe whole-heartedly that they are, at last, \out of the woods\ and that genuine prosperity is here. But conditions at this time are such as to war- rant the belief that the optimistic reports coming from practically every part of the nation are legiti- mate evidence of a turn in the tide and the dawn of an era that the American people have long hoped for. You probably would experience no trouble in finding skeptics right here in Medina just as they can be found in almost every section. Yet that cannot offset the fuct that there really is a better atmosphere na- tionally, and a more widespread feeling of confidence in the future. In a large way this new-born feeling of confidence will serve to still further hasten the return of the country to normal times. Regardless of political belief or selfish interests no man is going wilfully to lay a straw in the road to re- covery. This one great hope in all America today is that the prosperity wo have longed for is fast becom- ing a reality. This is cause for national rejoicing, and it is a poor type of citien, regardless of how hard he may have; been hit, who does not down deep in his heart find a feeling of thankfulness that the turning point has already been reached-and will be passed in 19:17. WHERE'S YOUR SHARE? Any Mt'dina man, woman or child who cannot jin- gle $1,10 in U. S. coins in their pockets today has a right to complain, for they haven't their prorata share of Uncle Sam's small change. There are some $144,- 000,000 worth of such coins in circulation and, if they were evenly divided, would enable every person in the country to spend, or save, the sum of $1.10. A three- year high has also been reached in the total amount of money in circulation, approximately $6,500,000,000. That, if equally spread over the population, would give every man, woman and child in the U. S. more than $50 apiece, or $5 more than at this same time last year. The director of the mint says the demand for coins is the greatest in history, while treasury offi- cials point to increased holiday buying and the heavy distribution of dividends and bonuses as important factors in making the country's money go round and round, wherever it comes out in the end. ROAD PESTS While there are many different types of road pests to provoke and endanger the careful, sensible motor- ist, there are two in particular which are responsible for many accidents. One is the fellow who pilots a rambling wreck of a car into a stream of fast moving traffic and, crawling along at 15 or 20 miles an hour, slows up the whole line and subjects everyone in it to inconveniences and possible injury from collision. The other is the so-called \expert driver,\ the fellow who believes he knows how to handle a car so well that he does not have to observe the usual driving precautions taken by those thinking drivers who consider the rights and safety of others. This chap ducks in and out of. the line of traffic, nicks a fender here, shaves a bumper there, forces other drivers to make way for him or run the risk of being hit. The state can, and should clear the highways of the rambling wrecks. And city, town and highway police should clamp down on the smart aleck \expert\ driver. Competent Mtr», Blmpton If Edward Una a Son The Latect Ganr KOIlnr Ckxwe and Gander \Mrs. Simpson purchases villa on the north coast oi Africa, .look- ing out on the blue Mediterranean, for her 'royal honeymoon' with the former king of England.\ Here you see the capable A- merlcan woman; she buys the honeymoon villa; if she married an American she would have ex- pected him to buy It. This Incident ArUnor BtUburn helps to explain how Duke Edward came to rely on the Baltimore girl. The former English King Ed- ward in his \instrument oi abdi- cation\ declared his \irrevocable- determination to renounce the throne\ for himself and his des- cendants. All very fine now, but suppose Edward should have a son and the son should grow up, a man of power and ambition, as he might, with an American mother He would by Inheritance be Un- rightful occupant of the throne of England, and might reasonably say that his father could not de- prive him of his right before he wus ever born. That might be em- borrussing If In troubled times a weak English king or a nervous queen were on the throne. Europe will turn from important matters to read about the lutest American gang killing. Joseph Scaduto, aged twenty-eight, was shot down two months ago while having his shoes polished In New York City. Night before lust his brother Oorninic, who had hurrid- ly moved, from New York, wus with 13 other men in u C'hlcugo pool mom. Three gunmen entered, herded the 14 into a buck room, motioned to Dominic Scudulo to step out from the nowd and stund against the wull. He did so, and wus rid- dled with bullolH. The execution- ers were old for their trade, 3(1 to 39; young kHlc-rs, usuully, do that work.

The Medina Tribune has ar- ranged with the Office ot Jnfor- matioft of the New York State Colleges of Agriculture and Home Economics to answer questions about problems of farm and home. If you enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope, and mention the name of this paper, you will receive a direct reply to your query from the colleges. Do not ask more than one question in one letter or on one post card. Ask as many questions as you like, but make each one a separate com- munication. Frozen Beets Mrs. C. A. inquires if beets that have been removed from the ground and then become frozen are poisonous as food. \I have heard that they were, so am at a loss to know whether to use them.\ Dr. Marion C. Pfund of the State College of Home Economics an- swers: \Freezing itself will not poison food, but food will spoil more quickly after it has been frozen. \Spoiled beets will have an ob- jectionable odor. If your beets are soft but have no odor, they are brobably still fit for use.\ Certified Seed E. N. asks what is meant by cer- tified seed. Professor F. P. Brussell of the plant breeding department replies: Certification is a procedure de- signed to inspire quality in seed. \Quality consists of right breed- ing or adoption, freedom from foreign matter, weel seeds, and seed-borne diseases, and last but not least, ability to grow. \The buyer of seed should de- mand evidence that the seed he buys has all these features and that the certification tag repre- sents such evidence.\ Painting Buildings M. K. inquires about the • best time to paint buildings. \How cold can it become without injury to a fresh paint job?\ Professor B. B. Robb of the de- partment of agricultural engineer- ing answers: \The generally ac- cepted rule is that outside paint- ing should be not done when the temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. \Personally I would not do out- side painting during late fall or winter. Spring and summer are the best times to paint.\ Thursday, Dec^mberSt M* THE LOW DOWN Among other fascinating exhibits Is otto allowing the beginning of overland mall service in 1673.
