Lang broke into the saloon Of Thomas
Mars, armed with pistol and his face

Past Week Has Pnt Crops IN Good
Condition.

Much encouragement has come 70
the farmers Of Dickinson county dur
ing the past week. Generous rains
have fallen at time when they
were needed and spring crops have
received just what was wanted for
a strong start. Corn is coming on
well and oats are in fair condition.
Alfalfa is making a splendid growth
and will soon be ready for the first
cutting. The wheat has been much
benefited and is growing well. The
opinion Of leading farmers that II
will be much better crop than was
looked for early in the spring when
it was held back by the dry and cool
weather. Many farmers are increas-
ing their storage capacity in antici-
cation of holding wheat If the price
is not high enough to warrant sell
ing as soon as threshed. There will
in any event be less selling direct
from the machine than on several
years.

MANY MELONS THIS YEAR.
sandhiIIs Will Be Covered With
Vines Again.

According to reports to the Salina
Union from farmers living in Dick
inson county, more watermelons than
ever will be planted this year in the
sand hills,
While the planting of melons has
been extensive on the sandhills for
years 1t is only Of late that the fruit
has been shipped to far off points in
any great quantities. This year a
number Of portions of the state have
written to the sandhill owners, ask
ing them what they can do in the
way of furnishing melons this year.
Sand hill melons are famous and
among the best grown in the world.
Somehow or other they seem to have
a flavor of their own.
The failure of general fruit crop,
is going to cause more than the usual
amount Of watermelons to be planted
in Saline county, too, according to
local farmers. When late frosts come
and wipe out our apples, our peaches
and our pears we can still fall back
on watermelons.
And they make mighty fine preser-
YES, too.

High School
,Szz;E " z-l1;z7vaE rs
BY Grazella Puliver.

The Sophomore class had Its an
nual party Thursday evening at the
home of Miss Faye Kubach.
The Freshmen held a class picnic
today at Taylor's grove.
8. R. Smith Of Harrisburg, Pa,
who has been attending the River
Brethren convention, visited chapel
Wednesday morning.
We all know how dignified one
member of the Senior class can be,
but when we see him as the Duke
of Venice" we know that his dignity
will reach its height.
The State Board of Education ap-
proved the normal course suggested
for the Abilene high school, and
about nineteen have signified their
intentions to make use of the oppor-
tunity.
Many of our football and baseball
heroes will be in the Senior play
Wednesday evenings and they prom
Use to be just as interesting on the
stage as on the field.
The following visitors attended
chapel Friday morning: Mrs. Pautz,
Mrs. Kirkendall, Mrs. Halleck, Mrs.
Gemmill, Mrs. Shockey, Misses Ethel
Thayer, Esther Minor and Verna
Pautz, Messrs. Harry Minor and ia
cob Haar.
For all who are exempt from fl
nails school closed Friday afternoon.
Cards for the last month will be
distributed next Friday morning.
The ANIMALS will be ready for dis
tribution the early part of next week.
The committee has worked hard and
the annual is one of the finest our
high school hos produced.
Many victorious games of football
were played by our high school team
last fall, but it is said that the center
rush in the Senior play will far out
class any play ever made by pro-
fessional.

So We neo when moFteages nre ex-
emps from 4 tax the cost Of the
farm will be greater but the rate
81 interest will be less While in
the other case, the cost Of the farm
Il less the rate Of interest greater.
The man who sells property will fig
ure 50 that he will get the same
amount OF money which ever way It
Is done.
It is with but very few exceptions,
the borrower who pays the tax. This
is done by the rate Of interest that
is charged. The man with loanable
capital will not loan his money I'M
less he can charge enough interest
to pay the tax on the mortgage. The
borrower in the community is the
man who builds up the place and
makes progress. Thep why stop
progress with unnecessary taxes?
It is for the man who loans money,
that these laws for taxing mortga-
ges are passed; but incidentally 1t is
the borrower who pays the tax. Then
since we are not taxing the lender,
why not help the borrower in the
right way by removing the taxi
Under the present law in Kansas
a man is taxed to the full amount Of
his property, regardless Of whether
or not he has debt resting on it.
Suppose a man has a farm worth
ten thousand dollars, five thousand
dollars Of which was purchased with
borrowed money. He will pay taxes
on the whole ten thousand dollars,
and besides this, in his rate Of in
terest, he will pay the tax on the
mortgages. This form of double
taxation is unjust and should be
abolished.
Then since taxation of mortgages
is unjust, unnecessary and impossi-
BILE why not remove the taxi The
removal Of the tax would lower the
rate of interest which is charged.
There seems to be no particular rea-
son, against removing the tax ex-
cept the fact that public sentiment
would be against it. But If the pub
lie would look at the question from
an unprejudiced point Of view the
mistakes would easily become evil
dent.
Professor Bullock suggests for
revenue for the federal government,
customs and excise taxes and also.
the income tax; Ior the state, the
taxation of inheritances, corpora
tons and licenses and real estate.
They taxes would amply supply the
government with revenue with
which to fulfill its functions. Hence
since there are sufficient Just ways
of raising revenue and since it is
unnecessary, unjust and impossible
we should not tax mortgages by a
registration fee or in any other way.

A BIT OF ADVICE.


If you suffer from backache;
headaches or dizzy spells; if you
rest porly, and are languid in the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irregular and unnatural in APP
pearance, do not delay. The kidneys
are calling for help. Slight symp-
toms of kidney trouble are but fore
runners of more serious complaints.
They should be given attendtion be-
fore it is too late.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney
trouble. They are recommended by
thousands. Can Abilene residents
desire more convincini proof than
the statement of an Abilene citizen
who says that the cure Doan's Kidney
Pills effected years ago has proven
permanent?
Mrs. e. M. Walters, 514 3. North
Sixth street, Abilene, Kan, says:
'For six years my kidneys were
badly disordered and the pain in the
small of my back caused me no end
Of trouble. / used plasters and
tried highly recommended kidney
remedies but to no avil. Finally I
commenced using Doan's Kidney
Pills and they brought relief" State
ment given December rs, 1905.
On November 27th. 1908, Mrs.
Waters said: II have had no need
