THE COST SIDE OF AN
IOWA FARM.

The average tax rate on Iowa
farm land is about 80 mills per
dollar of taxable valuation, the
taxable valuation being one-fourth
the real valuation. The increase
in the value of the land means
SI2,474,547 more outgo for taxes,
or total for taxes and interest OF
S89,o3S.Io7. The increased value
of the corn pays for nearly half of
this. -,..
Take the problem of the individ-
ual farm. A quarter-section o:
$3.50 land is worth $4,000. Five
per cent interest amounts to $1,000.
Taxes bring this up to ST 1873. De-
probation and repairs on build
ings and fences amount to at least
$500 per year. This is total Of
SI,77S direct outgo every year for
fixed expenses. This is the sum
that the farmer pays for the privi-
lege of being called prosperous.
But this is not all. The farmer
must have horses and equipment
70 work this farm. His working
capital will figure up about as fol-
:OWs:
Five horses .............. $3.50
Iillage machinery (plows,
cultivators, etc.) ... I75
Planting machinery ....... 200
Harvesting machinery, (grain
harvester and corn binder,
or husker) ............. 275
Miscellaneous machinery,
(Wagons, manure spread
ers and minor tools). 49,. a75
Total for machinery and
horses ............. ST. ,675
Interest on working capital
must be figured at 8 per cent. for
that is what the farmer is compell-
ed to pay for any money he bor-
rows with such capital as security.
This makes the interest SI44, and
taxes bring this up to SI55.5o. The
working life of the horses and ma
chinery is not much more than ten
years. Figuring 10 per cent tor
depreciation gives $Io7.5o. The
total yearly expense for working
capital thus amounts to S324.
The farmers time ought to be
worth at least ST 900 year. In
any other line O: business the man
ager of a business which repre-
sented an investment Of $4,000
would draw salary of from $1,000
to $4,000. But the farmer is mod
est in his demands, and his wife
raises chickens and a garden, SC
we will figure his time at only
81 900. During part OF the year
he will need hired man, unless
he is fortunate enough to have two
or three husky boys. The average
farm hand-and most OF them are
average or worse-wants SIS
month and board through th'
summer. The farmer has beer
brought up to work hard, and car

GREATER WATER WORKS
Plant Will Cost $4,000 IN Bonds
and Work is to Start With
IN Very Short Time

The meeting of the board of
mayor and alderman, which was
held in the court house yesterday
morning will rot soon he forgot
/ ton by the people of johnson
City, especially by those who
have studied the question of our
water supply.
AT this meeting the final action
was taken by which our new sys-
tenn will be installed. The water
will be carried in cast iron pipes
from the Blue Springs of Unicoi
county and will be exceedingly
free from disease germs. The
supply will be ample, and will
add materially to the industrial
interests Of the town, it will
greatly reduce insurance rates and
eventually become a strong source
of revenue to the town.
The action of the board in this
matter will be criticized by some
and praised by others; but it is
even this with public officials,
and great problems. All agree
that such plant is necessity,
and that it is needed now. The
only question which will agitate
the public mind is the price paid,
$40, 900. The deal was made
upon the advice and at the sug-
gestion of prominent citizens,
men who have been successful
financially and who were actuated
by no Interior or selfish motives.

RELEASED ON
RECOGNIZANCE
HOPES OF RECONCILIATION
With Husband Shattered by Ser,
vice of Papers on Her
Bitter Disappointment

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 28.-
Laura Farnsworth Schenk, who
has been on trial accused of hav-
ing attempted to poison her
wealthy husband, was released
on her own recognizance this
morning, following the discharge
of the "split" jury Thursday
night. She came out of prison
virtually a free woman so far as
the charge against her is con-
cerned, but her hope of reconcil-
iation with her husband was scat
tered by the service of papers up
on her in which Schenk gives no.
tice of his application for divorce.
While notice of her husbands de-
termination to avoid a reunion
came as a bitter disappointment
to the accused woman, yet she
prepared to meet the blow by
taking initial steps to file cross
petition for divorce.
Since Schenk neglected to an
nounce he would not be respon ST.
BILE for the debts contracted by
his wife, it is held he will be
called upon to pay the costs of
the late trial, about 100000.

IN SPITE OF
COMBINATIONS
MANY MESSAGES RECEIVED
Lea and Hooper Owe Nothing to
Regular Democrats and Must
Look FuSionistS for Support

The Nashville Tennessean de-
votes several columns of space to tel
egrams of congratulation and tel
egrams from correspondents on the
election of Luke Lea as United
States senator. Extracts from some
of these kilograms follow:
Gallatin, Tenn" The election
of Hon. Luke Lea has met with the
unanimous approval of the fusion
lists here"
McMinnville, Tenn, The fu-
sionists and republicans of McMinn-
vile and Warren county are elated
over the election of Luke Lea.
x = A number of leading repub-
licans and independent democrats all
speak highly Of Mr.. Lea"
Lewisburg, Tenn. Mr.. Lea's
election is highly Satisfactory to the
statewide factions of both political
parties
Monterey, Tenn. With few
exceptions, the independents and re-
publicans here are well pleased"
Humboldt, Tenn" Indepen-
dent democrats and republicans
throughout Gibson county are high
ly elated over the election OF Hon.
Luke Lea"
Once there was a democratic
party in Tennessee, and today there
is a democratic party in Tennessee;
but this democratic party, at least
for time, is rid of office-seekers and
pie-eaters. Mr.. Lea, of course, is
under no obligations to the regular
democrats of Tennessee, nor is Gov.
Ben Hooper, his running mate. The
victory Of both comes from the COM
bination of boiling democrats and
republicans, and if they continue in
power they must look to these two
factions for their support.
In the meantime the democratic
party out of Office in Tennessee
should reform its lines and put men
of brains and integrity to the front,
put office-seekers to the rear, preach
sense, and not nonsense, hold to the
doctrine Of personal and Individual
liberty, and stand for the constitu-
ton and the law. II the party does
these things. it will come into con
troll, because passions and buildoz-
ing, cheek and can't, cannot always
be the controlling forces in the af-
fairs of this great commonwealth

Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local applications. as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have rumbling found or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed. deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh.
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
