 o yes, the manufacturers are being held up and boycotted by that vast army of 5oo.ooo retail merchants. jobbers and drummers. in the United States. who have organized 10 battle with the catalogue houses. so they can job the prices on merchandise to any height. they think the consumer can stand and drum us to death un- less we hold up our hands and let them go through US and rob us of our birth-right and blessing.
 There are some men who tell me they will buy at their home town no matter what the price even if they know it double or treble what it ought to be. They expect to make it back by putting high prices upon their pro- duct. am not that way. believe in the Golden Rule and sincerely wish we could form fraternity or union founded on the Golden Rule and take in as members every honest man in this country, be he a Farmer, Mer- chant, Lawyer.

Now and then a man buys piece of land here and tries it a while and gets disgusted and leaves.
 A man said to me once: Why don you move to town1 None but fools and negroes live in the country" Another man near by said: "Yes and if man moves 10 town he soon be- comes rascal" don't agree with either of them but thers is room for reflection on those propositions.

Income Tax and Inheritance Tax.
When our tax laws are revised the
question OF an income tax and an In
hcritnncc tax should receive the care
fui attention of our Legislators. In
my Judgment, both OF these taxes
should be pnrt Of our system Of fed
erni taxation. speak diflidently about
the income tax because one scheme for
an income tax was declared uncOnsu-
tutional by the supreme court, while in
addition II IL n difficult tax to admin
lister IN its practical working, and great
care would have to be exercised to see
that 1t was not evaded by the very
men whom 1t was most desirable to
have taxed. Nevertheless graduated
income tax Of the proper type would
be desirable feature of federal taxa
ton, and 1t Is to be hoped that one
may be devised which the supreme
court will declare constitutional
The Inheritance tax, however, Is
a far better method Of taxation. The
government has the absolute right to
decide as to the terms upon which a
man shall receive bequest from an
other, and this point in the devolution
Of property is especially appropriate
for the imposition Of tax. Laws i'm
posing such taxes have repeatedly been
placed upon the national statute books
and as repeatedly declared constitu-
tional by the courts, and these laws
contained the progressive principle
that is, after a certain amount is reach
ed the bequest or gift in life or death
is increasingly burdened and the rate
Of taxation is increased in proportion
to the remoteness Of blood Of the man
receiving the bequest. These principles
are recognized already in the leading
civilized nations Of the world.

mortgages his house to buy an auto

to become such indulge in reckless
speculation, especially II it Is accom-

"Wednesday afternoon a number of
Young ladies were entertained at the
hospitable home of Mrs. Austin. Foss.
Needlework was the employment of
the afternoon, after which the young
ladies were refreshed with ices and
dainty confections. A most enjoyable
afternoon was passed, and it was the
general opinion of all that these social
occasions should be continued each
week, as such privileges have been
sadly neglected in Athena of late.
Sixteen young ladies enjoyed the hos

a charming hostess.
