WAR, if continued for any length Of
time, means not only increased na-
tional taxes, but higher State and
local taxes as we'll, which will fall
directly on real and personal property.
That, in turn, means higher rents and
greater cost of living. Already two
State Legislatures have voted large
sums to put troops in shape for action.

AN ACT OF SUPREME HERoIsM.-
Good bye, brother; l am married
I'll 60 and tell the Others" said Robt.
Blyth, foreman, when a rush of water
invaded an English coal pit fort
night ago. Then he went back into
the workings, although he could have
saved himself at the first approach Of
the water, and give his comrades the
warning which enabled them to make
for higher ground and escape. In so
doing he ran the risk of being drowned
or sealed in a living tomb in the
higher levels by the rising water. 1t
was fine deed. Bravery, presence
ofmind, prompt self-control were COM
bined in it.
