The assessing capacity and the
paying capacity are not Oh pari-
ty in the country, and the addi-
tion of several special taxes make
the paying of taxes a burden on
the people. If the raising of the
assessment is continued without a
great reduction in the rate of the
taxes. the people will he unable to
pay the heavy taxes. 1t is easy
enough to vote special taxes, but
it is different thing TO pay them
upon an increased assessment and
failure of crops.
A small amount OF cotton came
IN town last Saturday and sold for
$24 per thousand pounds in the
seed. During the week a few loads
came aud the price had gone up
ono dollar, the price paid WAS SO.
The cotton planters seem discou-
ragged at the result of this crop
and do not seem. to know what
they will no next year. In the
low lard sections the result cf this
years crop was disastrous, the
high water, the storm and the vice.
vii were the enemies they had to
contend with. Their crops were
entirely ruined.

The Woman Who Was Wanted

The relative honesty of men and women is often discussed. It is we'll known that women are more honest than men. One day last week a St. Louis man got out a police circular saying that a wom- an, who was carefully described was wanted. The woman imme- diately appeared at the station and demande an explanation. A man similarly indicated proba bly, would have hidden until night fall and then taken a train for the west.
 It turned out in this case that the woman was innocent, but it was like woman, on discovering that the police were looking for her to hunt up the police and insist upon retraction.
 Conscience may make towards nf men, but it does not. work that way with women.

PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY

Saws Maxwell's Tali m a n "Would you buy a cat in bag-a pig in a poke? No? Then you are not one of those who contribute $25O, ,OOO GOO annually to the sup port or the catalogue houses in pay ment for their pictured wares Yet there are millions who are doing that very thing. buying the cat it. the bag and the pig in the poke, and of a stranger. when for the asking they might buy of neigh b and have ample time to exam inc their purchase before paying over their money. Why they pre- fer thus to buy their ''cats" and their pigs" isaa question the local merchant would pay money to have answered. Why will people, otherwise sensible, pass up tn. goods which they can examine be- fore purchase and pay out their good coin to a catalogue house, trusting to picture and a promise? That they will do it; ''tis true 'tis pity, and pity.'lis 'tis true.'
 "S-lecting goods from a catalogue and paving for them in advance oi delivery is like courting by phono- graph and marrying hy telephone; i; novel and mildly exciting perhaps. but apt to turn out poor invest ment.
 The story of the rise of the so- called mail order business is an interesting chapter in our com mercial history. The spread of the craze-for it must be chased as such-resemb bles that of an ordinary epidemic against which no precau- ton is taken. The disease has un- til very recently been allowed to spread without even quarantine regulations. But from present in dications it's decline will be as rapid as was it's rise."

STOCK MUST BE SALTED

The requirement that all cattle. horses and sheep grazing under permit on the national forests be given salt at frequent intervals is regulation which has been found to go a long way in protecting the range and conserving the forage crop.
 Experience has shown that the want of salt makes stock restless If cattle and horses are not sup piled as they need it, tfty roam and wander, haunting old s+Eiug grounds used in previous seasol S. trampling the forage plants instead of eating them, paving the ground and in other ways injuring the range. But if their cravings are supplied they scatter peacefully over their pasture grounds and feed at their leisure.
 Salt is SO necessary to the easy and profitable handling of sheep on the range that no hockmaster would think of getting along with out it. If sheep do not receive their usual supply it is only with great difficulty that they can be held in bonds or kept in camp at night. So far az sheep are concern ed. no regulation by law is really necessary, because the owners, for their own convenience, will salt their focks. But cattle are not herded and the owners might neg lect to salt them, if the regulations were not strictly enforced.
 Stock on different ranges require varying quantities of salt Sheep need less on dry range than on green. An average quantity for 1000 head of sheep would be from 1000 to 1.5OO pounds each year. For like number of cattle. from 5000 to 10000 pounds Q year is required. Horses need less than cattle.
 Old hunters, in the days of the pioneers. knew that deer and buffa To travelled long distances to lick salt in saline springs. The Blue Licks. on Licking River, in Ken lucky, and similar mineral spring cn Elk River, in West Nir- ginia. were famous for the herds of deer. buffalo and elk which ire quentsd { h m. The adjacen, ground was so deeply tramped that the marks were to be seen many years after the places ceased to be visited by-those animals.
