Most of the driving public believes in educatign and engineering as important steps in the promotion of a good community program and, feels that enforcement is necessary, but that we ought ao "go easy." Why go easy If we have laws on our statute books which call for certain speed limits, and if any city council or village board establishes rules and regulations as law, why not enforce them? If we have a street with a speed limit of 25 miles an hour, then let's have the courage to enforce it at 25 and not 30 or 35. If we war.t to travel 35, then let's step up the speed limit to 35, if it is safe ugh to do so. Enforcement requires backbone on the part of the enforcement officers antl even more backbone on the part of the courts. Now is the time to subscribe. Poison Bait Effective in Grasshopper Control Farmers are reporting very pood results from using poison bait in controlling frrasshoppers.

Very heavy kills have been reported. Poison bait will control hoppers if applied according to directions. It is usually several days after the bait is spread before the dead hoppers cnn be found. There is also a tendency for the hoppers to hide under clods, before dying, states County Agent K. Wagner.

Farmers are especially urged to spread bait in order to save new seed- ings and hay crops. The hoppers are already moving into crops from their hatching grounds. Bait should be spread very early in the morning at the rate of 20 pounds per acre.

Miss Simmons sorted out the two- person families above and under 35 years and found that the older group spent more for conveniences, clothing, and house and yard improvement. Money spent by the older families for operating costs almost doubled, Miss Simmons said. She accounted for the difference by incrensejn electrical equipment, healing costs" and furniture.

Clothing costs probably increased partly through selection of better fabrics and partly because the mnturo figure is more difficult to fit. The young people spent more on automobile, personal care and recreation. Increases in living costs do not increase as much with the size of the family, the records showed, as with the change in the stage of the family life cycle. Expenditures for children increase with age, and costs for a family of three, if the third is a child in high school or college, are often higher than those for a family with several small children. Two can't live as cheaply as one, Miss Simmons assorts, but if the second one is a small child, it's easier.
