What property should be exemp
| from taxation?" Mr.. Clapp thinks
dogs should be exempt. There are
good many useless ours in town tina
do the most damage to sheep, thai
no one pays taxes on. He also think!
that mortgages should be exempt
AS it is now there Is a double tai
paid, the man that borrows the mon
ey and the man that lends it. Mr.
Smith was of the opinion that a Law
had been passed that mortgages
couldn't be taxed. Rev. Young said
they were trying to get such a law
but it was stopped at the senate. He
thinks if there was such a law, thai
a person could borrow money al
least one per cent. cheaper than now
We were next favored by music by

''Is the Indian profile on the cent
an ideal or real head?" Mattiebell
Getman says it is not real That an
Indian chief was visiting at the home

How to grow sweet peas" Mrs.
Galloway says their door yard is
sometimes used for sheep pasture,
so she has been unable to raise
flowers, but hopes now that they
have moved to be able to grow some.
Mrs. Place and Mrs. Partridge gave
their way of raising them. 1t is to
dig a trench about ten or twelve
inches deep, and the same in width
put in some fertilizer, then some
loose earth, scatter in the seeds,
cover with a thin layer of earth, then
after the plants get started finish
filling up the trench and give a coat
Of coarse mulch, plant north and
south. A garden fence makes nice
trellis.

what relation to success in life
10 personal habits sustain?" Mr..
Miller says good habits are every
hing. Rev. Young gave a fine
ak on the subject. He said the
young man who is a leader in Y. M.
J. A. or church work, is the one who
S always found in responsible po-
,itions. Mr.. Carson says a Western
R. r. wont employ men who drink,
Ind the employees wont work with
men who drink. Mr.. Yale says a
nan who drinks hasn't got a level
read, and man to succeed must be
evel4headed, that bad habits are our
,wn worst 'enemies. Mr.. Stewart
avs habits formed in youth are
Iuite liable to stick to us all our
life. Mr.. Greenwalt says business

man, before selecting him for a |
position.
Should owners of automobiles |
elp keep up the roads?" Mr.. |
ireenwalt thinks they should only |
e taxed according to the value of |
he machine and distributed accord
ng to the law. Mr.. Yale thinks they |
would think they owned the roads
{ they were asked to help keep them
n repair. Mr.. .Willoughby says if
hey were taxed to help keep up the
ountry roads, it wouldn't be more
han fair for the country folks to
clip keep up the pavements, for the
eavy farm wagons are certainly
1ore of danger to the pavements
han the autos are to the country
Dads.
