It is not very often since Franklin Delano Roosevelt was. first inaugurat­ ed in 1933 'that he has been compelled to bow to the will of Congressional' leaders; and in the past when suclv| occasions did raise they came onlyi , after a bitter fight in Congress. How­ ever, in the last few days the Presi­ dent has seemingly been compelled, as a result o f the various conferences that have been held, to agree to per­ mit the leaders of his party in the House and Senate to proceed with the revision o f Federal tax legislation - looking toward some appeasement of business. Trained observers believe that some of the burdensome and] troublesome taxes will be eliminated! or revised, and that the tax laws may be simplified; but that in the whole the tax.structure.will be so buiided as to bring in, the same amount of, or more, revenue to the government treasury as under the present law.

It is being pointed out that the economic and internal situa­ tions in Germany are fast reaching the state where Hitler will be compell­ ed to make some drastic move or lose a great portion o f the power and Control he has been exercising over his people. Reports from trained ob­ servers are to the effect that German leaders are working at. top speed along many lines toward the completion of a central o f a. central plan for intense military action. That Germany will insist on faking over the Polish Cor­ ridor and the Free City o f Danzig seems absolutely Certain. That Poland will resist with arms any such attempt on the part‘of Germany seems almost equally certain. Therefore, students of the situation insist another Europe­ an crisis, more dangerous than the recent ones of the past few weeks, is sf lieediiied to develop, soon, CLIFTON SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE RE-APPOINTED The following teachers employed in the Cilftort school were re-appointed for the coming year: Miss Genevieve JessOn, grades 1 and 2; Miss Dortha Cofry, grades 3 and 4j Miss Elsie post, grades 6 and 6; C.

Both fruit and shade trees are suf­ fering more this season than in former years from various types of bugs and insects. Even shrubbery and roses come in for their share of the damage. The red spider is a deadly enemy o f the evergreen and the brownish appear­ ance of foliage is proof that the spider is at work. There are one or two good kinds of spray but plenty of good cold water with open hose to flush the stock of the plant at the joints will kill thp little fellows as they hatch each day by the thousand. Hatching usually takes place late in May and early June. Elm trees are suffering from the canker worm and the cotton moth.
