The public money Is our money,

geeing that the best men are chosen
to cxpend it, and expend it wisely
The federal governments hundreds
of millions of dollars taxes-then,
grand investment.
Farmers who use whisky and to-
bacco, pay an indirect, as well as
direct tax. The supervisors fix
values as low as they can to escape
state tax. The assessors make as low
an assessment as the supervisors
will accept. If have a fine house
and it is taxed at its full value that
is discrimination against improve

Question of Appointment Of Superin.
tendent OF County Poor Farm
is Vital One.

Dear Bulletin: lei me air my
views on the subject of getting a
new man for the poor farm. We
want q perfectly reliable person for
that place. Death and taxes, we are
not in love with either one, they are
both certain, death makes its claim
but once, taxes every year, we pay
as little as we can. get our prop
erty as lows as we can, some hide 1t
whenever they can. Who of us but
will deceive about taxable property?
Then a strange thing happens when
the taxes have been squeezed out
little attention is paid as to how it
is expended, do they get their
money! worth or not. What atten-
ton rs paid to the qualifications of
the men who levy the taxes. poll
I, ticiahs. and Capt. Greaney says poll
? tics are dirty And politicians
pfcvaricators-give the office of
supervisor. assessor. or treasurer TO
men solely on account of work done
for the party in power. Men who
have no business will want these of
fees. The money wrenched from
the people is to some extent and
often great extent wasted by in
competence and extravaganza;
school directors are put in without
knowing their ability to direct
school matters. Road supervisors
who know nothing of the principles
OF road making What sort Of a
lethargy is it to hate to think Of the
money they think extorted by taxa
ton. IfGataxes were regarded as an
investment and wisely expended it
would be one of the most profitable
Investments, the people ever made
and that is the intention.
If an individual paid for roads
he would, see to it that II was wisely
expended II the farmers paid ont
their Individual moneyiIfor schools
they would see that they got value
received, there would be more than
one eagle. eye to discover any in
efficiency In the teacher. Same way
about bridges, 1t would be watched
with hawk eyes.
Strange. passing strange isn't It.,
that we do not look upon tax money
III. the same way as other money?
Disguised that we have TO pay
taxes yet let other people spend the
money pretty much as they please.
There seems to be feeling In the
community that anything we car
set off the county any little job,
any soft snap is justifiable. Senti-
mental stealing from the county or

CLOTH IN THE MAKING.
The Way the Uneouth Product Of TIRE

The Way slas Uneouth Product Of TIRE
loom Is Finished.
Every wogen fabric is made by
crossing or interlacing two distinct Sc
Ties OF threads together. When the
yarn comes from the spinner it is
mounted upon the loom in spools.
writes Rupert Bowers in Harper'S
Weekly So wonderfully automatic
are these modern looms that when
bobbin is emptied il is forced out and
fun spool is put in its place without
stopping the loom. There are all
classes Of looms for all classes OF ma
terial from the thinneSt fabrics up TO
the thickest felts. To attempt to de-
scribe one OF them or thc principles on
which they are constructed would in
volve the reader ia u wilderness Of
technicalities The power loom is one
OF the most remarkable and complex
Of mechanical products. the growth of
many years OF experience and ingenui-
ty and the capitalization OF the IN
ventiye genius Of many minds.
The cloth in the shop window resem-
bles the cloth as it comes from the
loom so remotely that there would
seem to be no relationship between
them The first product OF the loom
is usually uncouth, harsh and anything
but inviting in appearance. It has to
pass through many processes before 1t
is finished and made ready for the mar
ket. II is first mended so as to cor
rect weaving faults as far as possible.
Then it is secured and thoroughly
cleansed. Again it is looked over and
mended before it passes to the fullihg
or milling machine which, with soap
and fuller's earth, produces the finish
that is required. Then it is secured
again.
Tentering is the next process. This
sets the cloth at a satisfactory width
and Strengthens it for the operations
that follow. the first of which is called
raising The millions Of tiny hooks on
the glgging machine raise up the ibers
on the surface OF the cloth and leave
them in an upright position. The pile
or nap is the result. This produces a
remarkable change in the appearance
and condition of the fabric. Shearing
is the next hing. This cuts Off all the
raised fibers. leaving them of a uni
form length. The required gloss and
solidity are obtained by the pressing

NOISY BUTTERFLIES.
One Species Produces a Sound Like
the Snap of a Whip.

One Species Produces a Sound Like
the Snap of Whip.
One does not think OF butterflies as
making any sounds. nor of caterpillars
as noisy creatures, yet according to the
late Samuel Hubbard Scudder in
"Frail Children of the Air." the care
full student will find some use for his
ears when observing the habits Of
both. Says the author:
1t is q fact that certain butterflies
produce sound during certain move
ments The "whip' butterfly when
surprised makes noise like the snap
OF lash by opening and shutting its
wings In quick succession. Some hi
bcrnating butterflies when disturbed
make faint kissing sound by slowly
depressing and raising their wings.
The noise thus produced resembles
that made by blowing slowly through
closed teeth. Other sounds resemble
the friction OF sandpaper.
a large number of caterpillars make
sound by striking the head against the
leaf on which they are resting or by
swinging the head from side to side,
catching the mandibles in the rough
ness of the leaf o. on the silken
threads spun on it. II is said that a
certain kind of chrysalis when disturb
cd emits a slight, sharp chirp or click
ing noise.

A JOLLY TIME AT HOME.
Advice to the Man Whose Wife Is
Away on a Vacation.

Advice to the Man Whose Wife Is
Away on Vacation.
During any time when your wife is
on an extended visit with her relatives
you can save money from your board
allowance by keeping house for your
self You may find the following sug-
gestions helpful:
If you forget to order ice you can
render the butter serviceable in the
following manner: Take a cut glass
finger bowl and fill it with cool water.
Scrape the butter into the finger bowl.
When ready to spread your bread ex-
tract your butter in quantities as need
ed with the cucumber litter. That's
that fiat silver spoon with holes in it.
If you smell smoke you will doubt
less find the lamp is smoking and the
room is covered with SCOT. First turn
the wick down to save oil, then get n
damp cloth and go over everything
carefully. rinsing out the cloth from
time to time. When cleaning the walls
use only a downward motion. so that
the streaks will all run vertically.
Not having your wife's social charm.
you will doubtless be given tough steak
by your butcher. One way to make
steak tender is 20 run it repeatedly
through the sewing machine. Use a
coarse needle, but no thread. The bob
bin trough will catch the juice, which
can be used later for gravy. If you
take out the bobbin first you will have
more room for the juice.-Walter A.

a Enrd Eara

Bobby's papa, who is a naval Off
Ger, took him to call upon the family
of a brother officer who had just re-
turned from a cruise to the tropics.
Among the treasures exhibited was
large red and blue parrot, whose ap-
pearance and conversational powers
proved most fascinating to the little
boy. While the grownups were en-
gagged in talking over old times Bob
by, left to his own devices, drew near
er to the parrots cage, bent on max
ing friends.
Presently there was squawk from
the parrot and q little frightened cry
from Bobby, who ran to his father,
exhibiting a bleeding forefinger.
The little man was brave, though,
as befitted the son of sailor. He
brushed away his tears and said:
Gee, papa, but that bird has hard
face!"-Harper's Magazine.
