Psalm 34 : 6. "HORSE SENSE" RULES .; A life Insurance company has offered seven "horse sense" rules' for keeping fit. The rules are hot given as cure alls but a plan for cooperating with natui'e in her ceaseless efforts in prolonging life and preserving health. 1 11 i'Th'e seyen "horse sense" rules are: '"Learn to play; don't eat too much;-take proper exercise; don't work too hard, either mentally or physically; don't worry, fuss or lose your temper . the best tonic in the world is optimism and cheer fulness; seek some healthful amusement that diverts the mind and exercises the muscle ; once a year have your family doctor examine you for health, not for disease." "'' '' " Ordinarily seven rules of conduct would not be so diffi cult'' iri. observance but here are given seven rules which regulate every act of every day of our lives.' By the exertion of a little will power we would probably not find them much worse than' a stein' taskmaster in spite of the broad field they cover. ' , How many men and women past 40 know how to play? Are there any in' this community Who never overeat? " Regu jar exercise is observed by only a small minority. Most people work too much or not enough; The most optimistic among us worry too much and lose bur tempers too often for the good of our health.' More people are, to be sure, participating in the many diversions, fads and amusements offered them by modem, civilization and yet too many do not. And as for the seventh 'ule, where are there men and women who think' of the d(ot when thenars well?"- 'A' i vTHE PRICE Oil" LIBERTY The impending' presidential' campaign will demonstrate that a couple of hundred men have been given the greatest political power ever wielded by a small group -in the his . tory' of the' country. .' ' This handful of -men, with a total investment scarcely as great as that of five large metropolitan newspapers,1 will be able to give its favored candidates' access to the homes and the ears of half the ; population, 1 ' : This little group of men, controlling the gate to the ears of half the nation, can tic the strings of its favor to so many candidates, high and low, that it will be able to influence the' actions of presidents, cabinet members and governors, to control law-making bodies and through this control strengthen its pblitical dominance and its economic position! Three hundred broadcasting stations, representing an in vestment of less than half a dozen of the country's leading newspapers, owned by a few score corporations and in dividuals, are able to swing national elections, to determine the trend of our foreign policy, to decide tho issue of peace or war. '" . Already two corporations, tracing their ownership back to common sources, dominate two-thirds of the three hun dred stations. They have the money and tho' willingness to buy the rest. They will buy them, they will make of broad casting the most powerful political instrument ever devised, a private monopoly foi' their own private use and benefit unless 'congress is encouraged and supported in its efforts to forestall a' monopoly in nny phase of radio. Eternal watchfulness is still the price of liberty. Yenturu, (Cal.) Free Press UNION PERSONALS! Hy Mrs." h. Z.

By The AKsoclatcd Press This house is one of unusual In dividuality. , It solves a problem that oiien arises as to wnat- to build on acute corner lot that . is livable and yet attractive. , - The plan is shown at its maximum development. The sun porch may be built at some later date and the gar age could be left off also if desired. As shown we- onter through the sun porch or solarium. At the left is the lavatory and cellar stair. Down the hall to tho right we come upon tho entrances to the living room and dining room. A lnrge doorway may-be introduced between living room and dining room if so desired and in this way make it possible to throw both rooms Into one large area. . 10 tne rear is the kitcnen and en try. This entry opens upon the court and gives direct access to the garage. There is a driveway under the porch. un tne second noor are tnree good slued bedrooms with ample light end ventilation. A bath' Is ' between the rear two rooms and a large closet and bath are adjacent to the master bed room. On the exterior are several mate rials: Vertical clapboard, brick, stuc co and half-timber. The roof is of elate, tile on wood shingles. The chim ney Is of bricks the same color as the brick In the walls, surmounted by red chimney pots. Wood, lintels and all exterior woodwork is in natural fin ish weathered cypress. The windows are of the casement type and could be metal. , - v : . ; , Orientation Is a question of the position of the lot. The house can find universal application. Several r.tyles of exterior architecture may ,bb employed. The style shown is accep table In northeastern states. Estimates have Indicated as cost for this house between $9,000 and $10,000, depending upon local costs for labor and material, metropolitan, suburban or urban.

HVAM WINNER OF OREGON'S SKI CONTEST PORTLAND, Jan. 25 mi To NJal- mar Hvam, tall, slender Northlander, goes the ski championship of Oregon. Hvam thrilled 10.000 persons - at Government camp Sunday when he flashed down Multorpor hill, left the Jumpoff like a rocket and soared I8p feet through the air for a perfect landing. Ski experts said the hill was constructed to allow a maximum Jump of 190 feet, The mavch nearly concluded in tragedy when John Elvrum, Hvam's keenest . rival, tried to outdo him. Grimly determined he was as he took his place. Like a plane in a power dive he swept down the run way, reached , the apron, goomed up ward and plunged again. Rapidly estimating his speed, of ficial markers said he would defeat Hvam. , . , But In his eagerness Elvrum had disregarded safety. The snow where he landed was too soft and too flat. Traveling at a speed of 84 miles an hour he landed and splnned head over heels. Only by great fortune, those who know, said, he was spared serious injury or death. . He was badly shaken.
