A Suggestion.

"ln unity there is strength
This fact was again demonstrated
in our last election regarding the
single tax amendment. The tim,
and energy spent in the defeat of
this measure will result in good,
other than the mere defeat of this
proposed amendment. 1t brought
to the knowledge of the farmer
the defects of raising revenue by
our State. The most prominent
defect as far as landowners are
concerned is the double taxation,
under which the Iand and the
mortgage secured by this land
are both taxed (prorata) to the
full amount. For instance, man
has $4,000. He buys a farm and
is to pay $4,000 for it. He has to
mortgage his farm to the man
that loans to him the remaining
$4,000, and pays interest on half
of his farm, but the State taxes
him for all the land the farm con.
tains and the mortgage holder
also is taxed to the full amount of
his mortgage. Somebody pays
taxes on something he does not
own, and this somebody is the
farmer. Now the suggestion
Exempt all mortgages from taxa
ton, provided it i on farm land
and for a low rate of interest, this
rate to be fixed by law, and tn,
reduction to equal, as near as pos
sible, the taxes payable on land

Three Noted Odd Fellows.

Of Missouri:
Willis Hulen of Centralia, not

grands and another son who is

SHIPPED train
OF BIG MULES

Fulton, Mo-, Dec. 20.-A train
of more than twenty stock ears
left McCreedie, north Of Fulton,
today with the first big shipment
Of fat mules from Galloway coun-
ty.
There were SAB cotton mules
that have been sold to East st.
Louis firms by Kingdom feeders
at an average price of more than
5000. The activity in buying be-
gan yesterday when representa-
tives of Sparks Bros, Maxwell
Crouch & Guyton and Harring-
ton of East st. Louis appeared in
North Galloway, the home of the
big feeders.
The rapidity with which the
first load was gathered showed
that the buyers and sellers had
little trouble over prices. II also
dissipates the many rumors be-
fore election of drops in prices in
the event of q Democratic victory.
About 1000 more mules are on
feed in Galloway county and it is
believed the activities in trading
will continue for some time. 1t is
probable that some of those who
sold this week will buy more
mules for the fattening process.
The recent demand of South
Carolina buyers on the st. Louis
market is believed to have stimu
lated the activities in Missouri
mule counties.

Hubert Warden; BanquO, John
Creigh; King Duncan, Oscar Has
kell; Three Witches, Frances
Pearl, Lucille Kunkel, LeRein
Warden; Herald, HALEY Brad

After the program Santa Claus

Freshmen, who were seated in the
balcony, received their presents
from a baby carriage, which ran
on track just outside the bal
cony.

FROM BEAVER DAM.
Big Prize Crops in The Valley
Object Lessons in The
Schools.


Mr.. Shrout, living on the north
bounds of the Valley, received
second prize of $1,000 for deliver
ing poultry to Mexico merchants
recently. Now it looks to us that
at our County Fair the pumpkin
that would make the most pies,
the largest and most perfect ears
of corn, fruits Of various kinds,
even the tallest timothy grown in
the county, year 1912-we noticed
at Mexico Southern Bank from
its card that all was the produc-
tion of the Valley. Who says no
when we say, hurrah.
Agriculture may be taught in
our common schools with some
degree of success, yet many of
our teachers prefer giving object
lessons that children often grow
weary of when they are confined
to one or two special branches of
study. One of our school teach
ers claims that object lessons fur
nish the best discipline for the
mind. That by the ordinary
methods of teaching pupils re.
ceive very little mental dis
cipline. But let a child use his
senses in observing interesting
objects, and it will soon be
noticed that his natural intellect
is developing itself. Indeed you
might as well deprive a plant Of
light or heat of the sun and ex-
pect it to grow as to endeavor to
impart good mental discipline to
a child without the use or pres
ence of objects.
You ask US, Do we agreei Yes,
we believe object lessons are in
tended to lead the child in the
way nature intended and the OBJ
ject method should be used in all
our common schools.
