The residents of Raleigh Terrace,
Wyoming and Monroe streets claim
that dog has slipped somewhere in
the log tax collecting business and
that there are sundry CANNES with
out collars to show that their tax
has been paid in that vicinity.
The KICK of the residents is not so
much that the city has not collected
the tax, although they greatly deplore
this fact, as it is that the untaxed
CANNES are making night more or
less hideous. They say that the

Chief of the Bureau of Insular At

links during the season the President
will also be enabled to continue the
play with Walter j. Travis, former
national champion. and other experts

clusions
During the past year the golfing
experiences of President Taft have
been virtually restricted to two golf

half dozen golf courses are entitled
to rank as milestones in the progress

proficiency in the game that he es-
teens so highly. The first notable

Golf association.
A circumstance that serves as a
magnet to draw President Taft more
frequently to the Essex course than
to any other in this favored portion
of New England is that here he may
always find golfiug partners or Op-
ponents ready to hand If he has not
brought them with him. The Essex
clubhouse is known as the social CEN
ter of the summer capital" for it
serves as the common rendezvous
where the diplomats and other va
cationisIs who make mp the official
colony on the North Shore meet daily
to talk shop. Moreover this golf
course is within sight of the home of
the especial trends of the Tafts-
Mr. and Mrs ". j. Board man, who
was member Of the famous Taft
roundthe-world party, and who is
now one of the prime movers in the
American Red Cross. of which Will

The golf course at Manchester is
located some six or seven miles from
the Taft cottage and the President
almost invariably makes the trip in
a motor cara vehicle that he en-
ploys in most instances no matter
which of the North Shore golf links
may be his destination. This plan of
motoring to the golf course is identi-
cal with at followed at Washington
where the distance between the presi-
dental residence and the golfing goal
is about the same as in Massachus-
etts 1t is, however, somewhat in
contrast to the program at Hot
Springs, Augusta and Murray Bay,
Canada. at all of which places Mr.
Taft was wont to walk to the golf
course, although walk of from half
a mile to a mile was involved.

bent the Chief Executive Is more
often enabled to indulge his prefer
ence for golfing in the morning. The
Presidents physician has told him
that he must play at least two or
three times "a week in order to main
tain himself in anything like good
physical condition, but as matter of
fact The President dislikes to allow a
single week day 20 by without few

Gray flannel shirt and trousers and
cap to match or straw hat have the

For all that President Taft has a
certain preference for the golfing
facilities of the Essex County club he
is by no means restricted to the links
in question. More readily accessible
from his summer home Is the course
of the Montserrat club. which i'm
poses a rather severe test of golfing
skill, and there are other links with
a radius of few miles II the

another good golf course is at his
disposal when he makes his journeys
to Millbury. Mass. to make the visits
he pays with religious regularity to
his aged aunt Miss Della Torrey, of
whom he is very fond.
A feature of Taft's golfing program
for the present summer is that which
contemplates more or less play with
his most promising pupil-his young
est son Charles. II has only been
since his election to the presidency
that Taft has set about making a
golfer of Cheerful Charlie. The
elder son, Robert, learned to play
golf in the days when the family
spent their summers at Murray Bay,
Canada. but a short time back the
head of the family discovered Charlie
entering his twelfth year without
having become acquainted with the
joys of golf. Now the President be-
lieves that every person ought to
know how to play golf and so he has
taken Charlie in hand with the result
that the lad is now able to give
good account of himself on the links.
For all that the President has
brought all the masculine members
to his way of thinking with reference
to golf he has never been able to
arouse any enthusiasm for the Scotch
game on the part of Miss Helen and
Mrs. Taft has never essayed golf,
although In the days before her
health gave way she frequently
tramped over the course with her
husband.

RELATION OF LIVE
STOCK TO FARM PRICES

The price of land is high mainly
because the price of corn is high and
the price of corn is high chiefly be-
cause so much of it is in demand for
the purpose of feeding live stock.
while there is a world shortage of
live stock. which keeps up both rela-
tive demand and prices for meats in
all countries. because population ev-
erywhere is growing faster than the
supply of meat animals, writes A. G.
Leonard in the American Review of
Reviews for July.
Take away from the farms a con-
siderable share of their live stock,
and it would follow that such enor-
nous quantities of corn would be
thrown upon the market as to reduce
its price below the cost of produc-
tion, and such a general drop in the
value of corn would surely lower the
value of lands all over the corn belt.
and hence would affect seriously the
value of all kinds.
II follows. therefore, that if the
farmers of the United States would
continue to receive remunerative
prices for their annual corn crops.
and if they would maintain the pres
ent general values of farm lands
throughout the country. they must
keep up or increase the supply of live
stock on farms
OF course there is always the ad-
led and very important consideration
of preserving land values by presery-
ing and increasing the fertility Of
the soil. which can be naturally ana
permanently done only by raisingl
plenty of live stock on the farm, as
every up-to-date farmer knows.
The above is sermon subject for
thoughtful study by all who are in
terested in land values, including
railroad maLagers, land dealers, col
onization and irrigation companies,
and Others besides the farmers them
selves.
In short TO increase and improve
the supply of live stock in the coun-
try, especially of meat animals, is
absolutely essential to keeping up the
production and price of corn; to
the value of lands, and
to preserving the fertility of the soil
while all of these are necessary to
continued agricultural prosperity.
which is now well recognized as the
basis of the general prosperity of all
classes and of all business interests

TF PRESENT plans are carried ou'
President Taft will devote tht
major portion of prolonged va
cation to playing golf amid the
L New England hills Presiden
Taft plays golf at all seasons OF
the year and in every variety oil
weather, but it is in the summer
when he feels himself truly entitled
to yacation-that he derives the
keenest enjoyment from the Scotch
game. 1t is not too much to say that
golf is entitled to pre-eminent place
as President Taft's especial hobby,
having taken this foremost position
since the Chief Magistrate has been
introduced to the charms of the golf
courses along the favored North
shore of Massachusetts Bay. Not
that the athletic heavyweight Presi-
dent has allowed his increasing fond
ness for golf to entirely supplant his
other favored diversions, horseback
riding and motoring, but unquestion-
ably 1t enjoys the greatest prestige
of the three.
President Taft's present Ieanings
toward golf are doubtless attributable
in some measure to the conditions
prevailing in that section of New
England where the summer capital is
located. In this fashionable play

ride by motor from Boston, golf has

result of such varied golfing facilities
is that the President or any other

UNUSUAL DREAMS.

A graduate student came to me
some Two or three years ago and told
me. during conversation which had
lrifted over into a discussion on
dream-lite in general. that he not
only was a constant dreamer, but
also had certain stock dreams, one
Of which is worth describing
In this dream he pictures himself
as lying in bed awake, but with his
eyes closed. Suddenly and without
any apparent reason, he feels his eyes
then his eyelids being drawn
back, writes Charles 5. Kicker OF
Harvard university in the Progress
Magazine. He resists this movement
for a short time. Finally his head is
forced back and his eyes opened.
Overhead he sees an unfinished loft,
with the beams standing out against
the black roof. There, perched on
one of the rafters directly above him,
although only face and revolver are
viibsle, is one whom from the de-
scription of the yellow

waking himself at the same time.
He has a momentary feeling as he
awakens thai he is dead. This dream
occurs once a year and although the
gentleman could not be sure as to
whether the period elapsed was exact
every time. he felt sure that the var
iations were not over one or two
weeks in length. Although we
should need to have much more data
before attempting careful analysis
of such dream or such classes of
dreams. we may feel certain that the
old factors of doubt and superstition
can once and forever be relegated
from the most fanciful mind.
OF the more general facts as to the
mental elements, we know that the
