Experience tells that there are other press
ures besides storm pressures OF the air. we
are in the hurricane season, at present. IL
is true, but we may pass through it without
any hint of storm pressure. For some OF us
however, there will be another kind OF press
ure awaiting us as the hurricane season IS
dying out, a@d it will be well to keep 1t IN
mind and prepare for 1t.
From an official publication lately appear
ing in this paper 1t will be seen that ION
the representation of the Colonial Council
Government has decided that realisation OF
properties, the taxes Of which are in arrears
shall be effected as soon as possible after
the 1st October a. C. as follows.
|. if the taxes are in arrears for the
year 1907 only"
Without going farther with tn publica-
ton at present, we see that it is expected hat
the taxes for 1907 will be paid by
the 1st of October. We may presume
that the old fashioned way of levying
and then letting the tax stand over unpaid,
will no longer be encouraged.
It is also intended to collect older arrears,
but in a very leuient manner, for, continuing,
we read in the above mentioned publication:
%. if the taxes are in arrears for the year
1906 and the following year, unless payment
is made befoIo the 1st Of October a. C. not
OILY Oh the III ltitS O1 ttNCo y 1OO'; 49, ''"O
Of one fourth part OF the arreu.s Of taxes for
1907.
So. if The taxes are in arrears for The
year 1905 and the following years, unles
payment is made before the 1at Of October
a. c. not only Of the areas OF taxes for
1905 and the previous years bat also OF one
fourth part Of the AZ ears Of tXes for 1900"
AS was pointed out by His LXcellency the
Governor in the Colonial Council, The effect
of these regulations will be to allow four
years FIR persons who owe for 1906 10 pay
off hen Arrears md eight years to persons
who owe for 1895 an 1906.
AZ far rs the Colonial Treasury, is con-
cernea. it will get lid OF al arrears in eight
years.
For SONS Of our readers it will no doubt
be hard enough to raise the taxes for last
year alone, and if they should happ u to be
in arrears for back years, it will be sill
harder to raise a fourth more; but, like most
troubles, this can probably be overcome
when foreseen and prepared for, to help in
which is The purpose Of the p.os,nt remind

long enjoyed an enviable prestige as
dairy state It's dairy herds are among
the best in the world and several of
them have been drawn upon for found
alton stock by noted breeders, both in
this country and abroad. 1t was Wis
consin COW, and Fond du Lac county
product at that, which was accorded LIST
prize in the Jersey class at the St. Louis
worlds fair, and now another Fond du
Lac county cow has sme shed the worlds
butter record.
But while Wisconsin's prestige has
been secure, as a producer Of dairy
herds, and producer Of butter, there
was room for improvement IN the cheese
industry, and it is gratifying indeed,
that this improvement is already in eyi-
dence. According to State Dairy and
Food Commissioner Emery, who Is an
accepted authority on the subject, Wis
consin cheese has attained such stand
ing throughout the world that its name
is often stolen and cheese from other
states palmed Of on the trade as the
Wisconsin product This state stands
second only to New York in its total ag
gregate Of cheese and by products, and
leads all other states in cheese making.
According to this same authority, a.,
900 patrons Of ], $50 cheese factories. in
Wisconsin, received Sl3, 907 500, during
1906, for milk supplied these factories,
besides by products valued at S348, 600.
Aside from the vast amount Of money
invested in the dairy herds, from which
came the supply of milk, the factories
themselves represent an investment Of
81, 900, 900, thus revealing an industry of
great magnitude and one which steadily
increasing in Importance, is adding to
the wealth Of Wisconsin year by year.

Great Occasions Make Great Men.

Someone may suggest that if Croin-
well and Napoleon Bonaparle and Bis
r1arck and George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had not appeared TO
do the work they did, others would
have arisen equally capable Of doing it,
though perhaps in a different way,
writes Mr.. James Bryce in the Pail
Mall Magazine. To this suggestion
there are two answers. One is that it
is pure conjecture. The other answer
Is that history shows as many occasions
when the great man was needed, and
when the need Of him was acutely felt,
and SET when he did not appear. The
greatness Of some men is largely due
u fayoring conditions. Other men.
perhaps more brilliant, achieve less
than their powers seemed 10 promise,
because they were not quite in key
with their age. Perhaps they were
ahead Of It.

What America Needs.

From tle Wall Street journal
What America needs more than rail-
way extension, and Western irrigation.
and low tariff. and a bigger wheat
crop, and a merchant marine, and a
new navy, is a revival Of piety, the
kind mother and father used TO have
piety that counted it good business to
stop for daily family prayer before
breakfast, right in the middle Of har-
vest that quit field work a half hour
early Thursday night so as 20 get the
chores done and go to prayer meeting;
that borrowed money to pay the preach
er's salary and prayed fervently IN Sc
cret for the salvation Of the rich man
who looked with scorn on such unbusi-
nessli6e behavior That's what we
need now 20 clean this country Of the
filth Of graft, and Of greed, petty and
big; Of worship Of fine houses and big
lands and grand social functions What
is this thing We are worshiping but a
vain repetition Of what decayed nations
fell down and worshiped just before
their light went out? Read the history
Of Rome in decay and you win find lux
ury there that could lay a big dollar
over our little doughnut that looks o
large to US. Great wealth never made
a nation substantial nor honorable.
There is nothing on earth that looks
good that is 50 dangerous for a man
or nation to handle as quick, easy, big
money. II you 10 resist It's deadly in
