Which are You?

This from an exchange may bring
to mind similar cases that have
come under your own observation:
We recently saw one of our citizens
going home with a small basket OF
fruit. A few evenings later We passed
him again and he had a small pack
age OF candy. On both occasions we
were walking with the same gentle
man who remarked to us that the
man with the candy was a good fell
low. but blew in what he made so
follishly. We merely smiled in reply,
but could not help, in our own mind
as we walked along, drawing a con-
trast between the two men. One was
smoking a cigar that cost as much
as the candy. Burning into ashes
and blowing out into the air the
money the other spent for nic-nacks
that brought a smile of happiness to
the cheek he once thought so rosy.
and gladdened eyes that still sparkled
like thousand diamonds with their
tell-tale love for him; carrying home,
one by one. the sweetest memories of
life; building evening after evening
an image in little heart of ''Home,
Sweet Home" that no time, even into
eternity, would destroy. Nourishing
and kindling a new love that would
in old age look back to those happy
home comings and bless his memory
as the dearest papa that ever lived.
But what of your friend, the critic?
Yes. what of him? Which of the two
had you rather have been? Which
of the two are you?

The Month of Poverty-The Spec
ulators Who Dodge Taxes.
Marshville Home.


This is the month for people to be-
come extremely poor. It'll the month
in which the property owners, who
have been telling about the fancy
prices they have been offered and can
get for their property, will ..be sud-
emily seized with the solemnly pathetic
opinion that they have been misrep-
resenting the value of their property
and they VII. no doubt, be ready,
to tell them how worthless their
property is. While this pitiful depre-
citation in the value of property will
be proclaimed by some Of all classes,
we have what is known as the tax
dodger-the cunning, foxy, tricky
money chasers who get hold of real
estate in growing town or COM
munity and proceed to put pro-
hibitive price on it, and then hold
tight to it refusing to sell or improve
it, their only purpose being to profit
by the thrift and enterprise of others
who spend their money to build up
the town. In that way they reap the
benfit of enhanced values that come
through the labor and thrift OF others.
These cunning spectators are the
folks who try harder than any body
else to dodge a just proportion OF
the taxes, and heretofore some of
them have succeeded in their purpose,
to the extreme disgust of those who
are honest enough to let the as
SCISSORS put q fair value on their
