LITTLE DROPS OF WATER, LITTLE GRAINS OF
SAND


1t is to be regretted that no move has
been made this winter to start work on
the ditch with which it is intended to
reclaim the bench land on the north
side of the river opposite Emmett. The
ditch is sure to be built sooner or later
and probably would have been we'll I'M
der way at this time had it not been for
the pernicious system of financial legis-
lation which has so effectually "flatten-
ed" almost every enterprise in the coun.
try. 1t viii doubtless require a little
time and a little patience and little
faith in the future, but we will yet see
the ditch completed and one of the flu
est bodies of land in the west reclaimed.

We have frequently been asked
what the Single tax means, We
find in a paper read before the Sin
gle Tax club of Memphis, the follow
ing definition of the term as given
by one of the advocates: strictly
speaking, single tax is not a tax at
all. 1t is the taking for public uses
OF all land values. 1t is not the
land that is to be taken, but the
values of land, Land values are
not created by owners of land; they
are created by the community in
general, and for this reason single
takers would make land values, or
ground rent, the basis of all taxa
tion, thus removing all taxation
upon the products of industry, Sin
gle takers propose to take the value
of the land, or the ground rent, for
public use, and not allow it to go
into the pockets of private indiyid.

GROWING OLD TOGETHER.

1t is wonderfully subtle, yet Curl
ously simple, the Intervening of
thought, feeling, and desire in two
who are growing old together. 1t
is almost as if they had but one
soul between them, so identified are
the interests of both, so responsive
are their sympathies, so instanta-
neous is their comprehension of
each others needs. Old husband
and old wife, neither very strong in|
these latter years, but mutually
helpful and each others compile
ment. One can see how incomplete
would either character, either life,
have been had the other been lack
ing, so perfectly do the two unite
to make the rounded whole. If the
children have grown up and gone
away to their separate homes and
their own work in the world, the in
terdependence of the old parents is
the more touching, and their soli-
tude is sweetened by a thousand as
sociations, by uncounted memories,
by a blended Christian faith, and a
certain indispensableness which has
grown to be the very atmosphere
of their being. 1t is lovely to see
the children, and the grandchildren
are an unspeakable pride and de-
light. When these come back to
the old nest it rings with nirth and
glad elation, but even the children
are not essential to the parents in
the sense in which they are essen
tial to each other.
Time was when there were angles
and sharp points which now and
then caused Il moments pain when
the two hearts, passionately loving
though they were, knew occasional
antagouisms, or at least irritatlons,
which led to friction. But in the
daily intercourse of fruitful years
the angles have worn away; they
are no longer hurt by misunder-
standings, their differences of opin-
ion are gone. In growing old to-
gether they have grown nearer to
each other
