To “Whitewash.” The use of this
term to describe a covering over
to conceal wrongdoing is familiar
to a great extent through its ap-
plication in political matters, says
Jean Newton. Parties are accused,
frequently, of whitewashing mem-
bers who are under suspicion, by
so-called investigations which lead
only to exoneration.

How it Started.
“All His Geese Are Swans."
Fliis expression is a relic of a past
generation. We still hear it used,
however, with reference to people
who can see nothing but perfec-
tion in anything that is theirs,
says Jean Newton.
To Cool a Room—When other
methods fail of cooling a room, it
may be made comfortable by wet-
ting a piece of cheesecloth and
tacking to window or door screens.
Keep it wet and you will at once
notice a change in te atmos-
phere. Also a small piece wet and
placed over the face of patients
will cool them and not hinder the
breathing.

that is small or diminutive from
lilliputian sausages to lilliputian
men! It is sometimes also in the
figurative sense of insignificant or
petty, says Jean Newton.
“Lilliputian” had its introduction
in “Gulliver’s Travels” of Dean
Swift, published in 1726. The hero,
Gulliver, on one of his voyages
finds himself on the shores of
"Lilliput,’ whose inhabitants (Lil-
liputians) are no larger than a
man’s finger.
And from out the pages of this
book, which soon created a sensa-
ticn and has survived to an un-
questioned place in literature,
came the new word, lillipu 1“.

v SOUND ADVICE ANY TIME
legislative action at the next ses- man who refuses to take a news-
can be interpreted in another, an 1
a more practical way.
It is time that our farmers work
out a definite program to fit their
particular farms and markets.
There has been too much hap
hazard farming without definite
programs. With many farmers it
has been a case of planting the
most popular crop for a quick
turnover, taking chances on the
market Our best and most pros-
perous farmers have a different
rule of work. They gamble less
and may lose a chance oi making
a “killing” on some single crop,
but they are following a program
whic not only insures a good liv-
ing, but improves the productive-
ness of their soil. In other words,
they are farmng the soil, not min-
ing it.
Government aid in the form o
price fixing legislation would prove
disastrous to the agricultural in-
dustry. The McNary-Haugen bill
would have created thousands of
jobs for which the farmers would
have paid out of the proceeds of
their crops. It would have robbed
farmers of their initiative and
placed the industry on a charity
haws. The farmers in this country
are in no condition that demands
sueh drastic action. They are cap-
able of running their own business
and would if it were not for the
agitators and politicians who are
either bidding for power or for'
wctes. The sooner farmers realize
Pnat their salvation depends upon
their own efforts, the quicker the
industry will get back to a sound
economic basis.
