the bank, and he found himself sud
denly fioundering in the creek. He
caught one glimpse of the girls horri-
fed eyes, and, with an inspiration
heaven born or wicked, according to
the point of view, he remembered the
trick he had learned in bOyhOOd and
disappeared from her sight.
She stood mOtiOnless, her hands
clasped convulsively to her breast.
When he came to the surface near her,
sputterlng and gasping with more en-
ergy than an expert on the subject
would have pronounced natural, she
dropped on her knees and clutched him
by the arm.
"Oh, Dlckey," she screamed, throw
ing her 1.-the young body on the edge
Of the creek and reaching her other
hand to him, 'hold on-tight-I've got
you"
Randolph, dripping wet, scrambled
up the bank and helped her to her
feet.
T-caught you" she reiterated
dazedly, clutching each wet sleeve
with nervous fingers, her face white
and tremulous.
you poor little girl, didn't know
you would be as frightened as this"
he said contritely, unhesitatingly put
ting his arm around the crisp white
shirt waist
II thought you were-d-dead," she
stammered, and Randolph. looking in
her eyes, was satisfied with his sys-
tenn.
Dora" he said finally, the last lin
gerlng touch Of jealousy dying hard,
you never loved that dried Greek
root did you"
She freed one hand and strOked the
damp hair from his forehead. Il like

"Humph! Much danger of cold in

When they reached the camp ten
minutes later there were many de-

dropped for newer interest.
"Of all the earthly spectacles!'
shouted the irrepresslble brother of
Dora throwing pack Of cards on the
rustic table with such energy that

And where, may ask are the
fish? We've been waiting dinner for
them," called Mrs. Bradley, the chap
eron most to be feared.

agonized whisper-"for the love of

"Darling" whispered Randolph fat

He opened the basket where the
lone little perch had long since given
up the struggle for existence.
Here, madam is your fish," he said
humbly.

Covered Milk Pals.

The advantages of using covered
pals with small openinG} are appar-
ent from the fact that We have shown
that one Of the most p"olific causes OF
contamination is from the COW and
stable at the time Of milking, says f.
f. Dawley superintendent of New
York farm Institutes. When these
small topped pals were first intro
duced into my own stables the men
claimed that they could not milk into
them. but when one of them was re-
minded that one of his diversions was
milking into the mouth of cat sitting
up On her hind legs his objection was
readily overcome. All utensils used In
milking or in handling the milk should
be thoroughly steriized. 1t is not
enough that the pals and cans be
washed; they should be thoroughly
scalded with steam or boiling water
In all dairy operations sal soda should
be used instead of soaps.

To help keep the churn sweet give
it an occasional rinsing out with lime.
water.
Penny wise and pound foolish is the
woman who still uses old fashioned
out of date dairy utensils.
The washing OF the cream separator
once a day doesn't make any less
work than washing it twice a day
When it stands overnight and the sedi
ment hardens in the bowl it then takes
twice as long to clean 1t.
The dairy woman or man who de-
pends upon the strainer to clean the
milk rather than upon cleanly methods
of milking is the one who makes poor
butter.

Urged a. One Remedy For AeknowI
edged Tax Evils Of This State.
The discussions of the represents
tives of Ohio great agricultural inter
ests before the State Tax Commission
last month. brought out many good
ideas on the big subject of taxation.
Publicity was urged as one remedy.
Hon. T. r. Smith, Hon. B. F. Swim.
gle and MIR. d. E. Durham all favored
problems without amending the con-
stitution. How many look into the
assessors returns to see how his
neighbor has listed property" said
Mr.. Smith. Once | sent the assessor
to a neighbOr to look up some notes
he had not returned. BY this means
$4,000 were added TO the duplicate.

cate by this means. Some years ago

erty paying an annual rent higher
than it was on the duplicate for"
Il believe most of the inequalities
can be cured by publishing the prop
erty returned for taxation by EACH"
said Mr.. Swingle. Mortgage indebt-
edness Is very great in some sections
Of the s@ate, and, though many legis-
latures have tried to correct this evil
none have so far been successful. The
personal property Of the farmer gets
on the duplicate at very near its true
value, while the stock of railways, tel
ephOne and telegraph companies, gas
and oil companies and other coTpor-
ate interests are placed on the dupli-
cate at a very low per cent Of their
value"
81 am one Of the men who looks
into his neighbors returns" said Mr..
Dunham of the executive committee,
State Grange. I'VE try to be fair
with each other in my section of the
state, and l don't believe you could
find ten men who believe our govern
ment to be failure. Most talking
here today think people dishonest and
ready to evade taxes. They say you
can't get the property on the dupli-
cate. don't believe It, The only
trouble is the unequal valuation. I
look at the other fellows business,
and l find lot worth $1,000 on dupli-
cate at $2,7OO, another worth $4,000
on duplicate at $3.50, another worth
$4,000 at $2,360. Our rate is 312
on $1,500,0O0 1t would be much less
with a true valuation of property. The
fact is we farmers have not looked
into the other fellows business
enough. Let US get busy, and I be-
lieve without revision of the constitu-
tion every dollar could be taxed at its
true value.

TAXATION BASED ON ECONOMIC
PRINCIPLES.

At the last hearing before the Ohio
Tax Commission, Mrs, Mary E. Lee,
Grange Editor Farm and Fireside and
American Agrlculturist, Westerville,
stated the case as follows: The intol-
cradle burdens resulting from taxation
do not arise from the power to tax, but
the methods employed. Wars have been
fought, systems of government over
turned to escape taxation without
representation. This has come
through faulty and imperfect ideas re-
specting economic questions. Taxa
ton as an art and science has not
been considered save by few thought
full students and they have not been
able to test the value of their ideas.
The entire effort has been, on the
part of taxpayers to get lower valua-
tions and find means of lodging Is it
not time that sound economic prin-
ciples be applied to the matter of
taxation?
Each industry complains of the in
justices OF the present laws on that
business, and all are agreed that gross
inequalities and injustices exist. Can
a system that has bred such condi
tions be just? And is there justice
in taxing at the same rate that prop
erty which has a fixed value, with
that property whose value is determin-
ed by different men, at different times.
One is the result of fixed economic
laws, world wide in application; the
other simply the opinion of a man
elected to place as low a valuation
as possible on property. The badness
1f this principle should have been
scented without leaving experience to
demonstrate it. Let us amend the
Constitution, rid ourselves of the uni
form rate which experience and
reason alike condemn, and seek sys-
TEN in accord with correct economic
principles. 1t seems unwise to legis-
late into the Constitution.
We are no more able to legislate
into that instrument wisely for the
people 20 or SO years hence than were
our ancestors to leglSlate Tor us. Ine
power of the people is steadily grow
ing through the primaries, conven-
tions, initiative and referendum. The
universal diffusion of education is en-
abling the people to judge more wisely
each year. Leave them free from con-
stitutional restrictions to work out
their own destiny. Perfect laws do not
spring full-fedged, Minerva-like, but
are creatures of growth. would rec
ommend the creation of tax commits
sion In which each industry is repre-
sented, and political economist of
wide experience who could take sur
vey of the entire state, its sources of
revenue and its needs, and could devise
laws that would secure a just and
equitable distribution Of the burdens
OF taxation. It also seems imperative
that the constitution be amended SO
that that property whose value is fixed
shall not bear the same rate of tax as
that property whose value is deter.
mined by the judgment of men.

Curinn Warts on Teats,

Noticing that lots Of people want to
know what to do for warts on COW
teats, l will tell you some of my
experience, writes dairyman in
HOard's Dairyman. We buy cows
sometimes that have warty teats, and
they go away in about a month or
more. We all milk with our hands
dry, and l think that is what cures
them. Let some of those that have
got warty teats on their cows look
to their hands instead of the doctor,
and l think the warts will disappear.
There might be other causes for warty
teatS, but this is one of them.
