million acres in the Ozark forest re-

would be suited to fruit raising. The

Next week new classes will be or

gin. Young people from our strong

we are always short of good stenograp-

Lure of the Author.

One wonders why so many novels

ment just made by the managers Of
the play adapted from ''Ben-Hur."
They have paid $250,OO0 in royalties
to the estate of it's author and expect
to pay much more before the public
tires of it. The book itself has had
a sale of over a million copies, never
in cheap form, and has probably
earned another quarter Of milliou
for the author.

a little book of only 10000 words, has
paid to its author as book and play

the glory of satisfaction, every novel.

NOT HERE TO BE MISERABLE
We All Have Our Troubles but Should
Learn to Keep Them in
Background.

If there is anything that is irritat-
ing it is the way that some people
talk of their troubles, as if they were
kind of "a treat-not cheerfully, but
with kind of gloomy joy; in word,
they are resigned. 1t is only mighty
big humbugs that will say they are
thankful for troubles. We may even
tually live to see that they were right
and best for us, but at the time it is
sheer Hypocrisy to waggle our heads
solemnly and say: Happiness is
snare, anyhow; it is foolish for any
one to expect happiness in this griz-
Fly old world
People who talk that way don't de-
serve happiness. We weren't put here
to be miserable The idea that life
is for suffering and not enjoyment is
proved of lamentations and tears, he
would not have put so much in the
world to make us hopeful and happy.
There is nothing more common than
trouble. We all have our troubles,
but it is the wise ones Of earth that
keep their burdens in the background.
1t is so common and cheap and selfish
to be continually parading ones griefs
and disappointments. Whatever our
lot, we should all learn the wisdom of
that helpful little prayer: Help me
to win, II win | may; but if / may not
win, make me a good loser MARY

iune.

PAY TAXES SLOWLY.
Kenosha People Slow to Help City Out
of Financial Difficulties.

henosha People Slow to Help City Out
of Financial Difficulties.
Kenosha people seem to be slow in
paying their taxes this year and there
is no tendency on the part Of the tax
payers to advance the money to the
city that it may have it to keep from
getting on the wrong side of the led
ger. Up to the present time less then
a dozen tax payers have come across
with their money and the treasurer is
spending his time writing up receipts
in anticipation Of a rush next month.
Some Of the larger tax payers have
signifed an intention to pay their
taxes early and the city is very anxi-
Gus to get in the money. The board
Of education is out of funds for run
ming expenses and the city officials are
hopeful that there will be enough paid
in by the middle, of January to make
possible the payment Of at least part
Of the tax assessed for the support of
the schools Before the money can be
paid to the schools it will be necessary
to take care of the state taxes, but
the county tax can wait until after the
school money has beenN provided for.

company's earnings for every business
day. To create the fund the company
will set aside IL of / per cent of its

The loan system is established to en-
able the employees of the company to
have place where they can easily
secure loans whenever it becomes nee
essary, through sickness or death, to
have additional funds and can pay
back the loan in manner easiest for
the borrower.
The Mutual Benefit association is
something where the men win have to

association or not. If they do, all they
have to do is to organize and the COM

FORESTS HELP GIVE HEALTH
Mitigate Heat and Cold and Check
Tendency of Earth to Excess
sive pryness.

Forests contribute to the general
health by breaking the force OF stead
lily blowing winds. They mitigate the
heat of summer by the vast amount
of evaporation that occurs in their
leaves by day. BY night the CORE
spending condensation of moisture up
on the leaves still further absorbs the
heat on the evaporation of the mois-
ture the next morning. They also pro.
mote rainfalls. Thus they check the
tendency of the earth to too great
dryness, which is almost as injurious
to health as it is to vegetation, for
epidemic diseases are sure to do their
fatal work where the saltwater is be-
low the ordinary standard.
Hence cholera often passes wood
ed district and revels in a treeless
one. There are numerous facts like
the following: A certain road in In
dia leads for sixty miles through a
dense forest. Further on it runs for
ninety miles through barren plain.
Hundreds OF persons travel the entire
road daily. Now, in the first or wood
ed section, cases Of cholera seldom
occur, while within the latter it has
been of frequent occurrence One year

is legally liable ard who is entirely
dependent upon the taxpayer for
support, 5000.
The tax to be collected upon in
comes, after making such exemption,
is computed as follows:
A person earning $1,000 a year,
over and above exemptions, is held for
tax of l per cent; on the second
$1,000 at the rate Of III per cent !;
on the third $1,000, at IL per cent ];
on the fourth $1,000 at III per cent;
on the fifth $1,000 at 2 per cent; on
the sixth 1000 at 21a per cent; on
the seventh $1,000 at per cent; on
the eighth $1,000 at 311a per cent; on
the ninth $1,000 at per cent; on
the tenth $1,000 at AZ per cent; on
the eleventh $1,000 at 5 per cent; on
the twelfth 81 900 at So per cent, and
all amounts exceeding $4,000 at the
rate of per cent.
At this rate a man with an income
of $4,000 over and above the amount
exempt will have to pay a tax of
$345, while the man earning $1,000
above exemptions viii pay SO.
The question is now asked whether
this is not doubled and tripled taxa
ton, especially applying to corpora
tions. They pay the regular tax and
also pay an income tax to the federal
government if their net earnings are
over $4,000 and now they must also
pay the state an income tax.

Various Boards of Agricul-
ture to Be Operated I'm
der One Management.
TO REDUCE STATE EXPENSE

At a meeting of the Wisconsin state
board Of agriculture, held on Monday,
it was decided to try and have many
of the present boards and commissions
having TO do with state affairs united
into one commission. The various
bodies which would be thus combined
are the state board of public affairs,
the state board of agriculture, the
state board Of immigration, the dairy
and food commission, the forestry de-
partment, the farmers Institutes. All
of these bodies overlap one on the
other more or less and it is believed
more effective work could be done if,
all were combined. In addition to this
it is proposed that the supervision of
country fairs should be vested in the
same commission. A bill to this eff
feet will be drafted and introduced in
the next legislature.
State Fair Deficit.
The financial report presented show
ed that the state fair of 1911 cost
$115,012.67. The state fair Of 1910
cost SOC, 126.49. The state fair of 1909
cost $104,935.78. The total expenses
for the fair of 1911 was $119, 2T9.67
and the receipts $114,627.70. The de
felt is $4,65197.
The outstanding bills are $5,293.87,
with outstanding collections of $500
50, leaving $4,72S.1S still to be paid
There is balance in the general fund
Of the board of $1,o12.15 which leaves
SO, 716.03 that will have to be taken
out of the state appropriation OF
SIS, 900 when that comes duo--on the
first of the year. This will leave the
board with balance of 81 ,2S3.9T to
begin work for the fair of 1912.
The board reseinded the resolution,
adopted at the last annual meeting,
giving the secretary of the board pow
or to discharge employees and placed
this power back in the hands of the
entire board.
While the board was in executive
session most Of the time it is learned
that differences between Secretary
Rowlands and some of his force occu-
pied considerable of the time, as well
as discussion of the discrepancy be-
tween the financial statement made
when the fair closed, which was to
the effect that the fair had made about
$4,000, as compared with the present
statement, which showed a deficiency
of that amount.
