MONSTER CHEESE.
Largest Ever Made In the Mohawk
Valley Weighed 1850 Pounds.

The largest cheese ever mauufactur-
ed in the Mohawk valley, in New York
state, was recently shipped to Chi
cago firm by Utica cold storage COM
pany. The cheese was built in the
usual shape. but It measured 80 inches
high, As inches in diameter, contained
4172S cubic inches and weighed 1850
pounds. It took about ten tons Of
milk to produce 1t, and It was pressed
into shape by specially constructed
press in a Lowyille cheese factory.
where it was bought by the Chicago
firm through the cold storage company.

SIOUX cl1Ys FORWARD STEP;

Sioux City is TO have public play
ground. The newly organized Play
ground Association of Sioux City, is
to have the services of Campbell Bros
circus for two days to raise funds for
the public Fairgrounds. A circus for
two days and a playground for the
whole summer. The children win.
Public Fairgrounds are the crying
need of every city of above 10000 in
habitants. Wherever the child popula-
ton is crowded into streets and alleys
the Fairgrounds are needed. Whenever
city acquires section that approxi-
city develops locality where power
ty, carelessness and crime join hands.
1t is time for the public playground
as an antidote.
A public playground for a city of
$4,000 is not an expensive proposition,
comparatively It would cost less than
q Carnegie library, less than a public
park TO create and maintain. II might
almost be done with the money that
1t would cost TO buy and maintain an
automobile patrol wagon. There is no
occasion for anything highly elaborate
or costly. 1t doesn't cost much money
to make boy happy and keep him de-
cent.
Sioux City is going the right way
She is ahead of other Iowa cities in
this instance. no matter how much she
may lag in some other ways. The pub
lie playground where the children of
a city may meet on the common level

| The income tax may not be worthy
OF the slightest respect as a measure
OF legislation. The fact that It is a
recognized means of raising revenue in
the most civilized nations Of the
world may not mean anything. The
fact that Roosevelt was for it, that
Taft was for it-until he changed his
mind-that the supreme court was for
it for one hundred years, until one of
the judges changed his mind over
night-all these things indicating a
concensus of opinion of the enlightened
craftsmanship of all the world in it's
favor may signify nothing.
But it is respectfully submitted that
great majority of the good people of
this country believe It sound and just
in principle. Presidents have urged it's
use as a means of reducing swollen
fortunes. Political parties have de-
clared for it with honest enthusiasm.
The highest economic authorities in an
unbroken line for forty years have ad-
vocated an income tax to ease the
burdens of labor, by placing some adj
ditional weight on the shoulders of
capital.

state conventions with membership

1t is only necessary for the opposi-
ton to carry twelve state legislatures
to defeat it. The candidates for the
legislatures will be selected with re-
spect to multitude of issues-high-
ways and bridges and the regula ton
of electric and steam railways and in
surance companies, not to mention the
struggle between prohibition and the
regulation of the liquor traffic-any
one of which issues may be used to
obscure or side track consideration of
the constitutional amendment to tax
incomes.
