WHEN you get your tax receipt next
January you will find that you have
been touched up quite materially,
and instead of your dream of relief,
you will find an added burden. It is a
practice of politicians to conjure up
fine phrases wherewith to lull the pop
ulace to security. They tell us of their
love for the dear ''pepul' and how val
orously they have labored to reduce the
tax rate, in the nation, the state and
the municipality But, alas for the
awakening from the dream. When tax
paying time comes we march to the
place where sit the 1.-THE gatherers and,
as good, patriotic citizens, place our
savings on the table and bid our SER
wants take what they will. Then the
books are opened, the amount is chron-
icled and the coin transferred. All that
remains to the sovereign citizen is the
little slip of paper known as the tax
receipt to be treasured up as an evil
dence of good citizenship. And now,
Mr.. Taxpayer, when you have in your
possession the tax receipt which you
will get next January, just scan it
carefully. Compare the sum noted
therein with that in the one you re-
ceived year ago. Then the truth will
dawn fully upon you. Then you will
know that all the talk of lower taxes
due to this income extortion and what
not has been pure buncombe, for you
will see that you are compelled to pay
a larger sum than ever before, even
upon identically the same plot of ground
and shelter you have called home since
the long ago. Madison Democrat.

FARMERS in the two southl

FARMERS in the two southern tiers
of counties are rushing their hogs to
market at a sacrifice to avoid loss from
hog cholera, which is taking its usual
heavy toll this fall in all exposed herds
where hog cholera anti-serum has not
been used. DR.. F. B. Hadley of the
Veterinary Department of the Agricul-
tural College of the University of Wis
consin reports that in those herds
where the hogs were vaccinated before
or soon after the occurrence of the in
lection, very few deaths resulted. The
protective serum is manufactured by
the college and sold to the farmers of
Wisconsin at the cost of production.
The demand for the serum has eX-
ceeded the supply A small quantity is
now ready for distribution, however,
and will DO furnished upon application,
with directions for use.

THE day of Thanksgiving is again at
hand and if the right spirit pervades
us there ought plenty to be thankful
for. To enumerate: Election is over
and the country is safe from the har-
rowing campaign for at least four
years to come. Bumper crops have
been raised and such satisfactory prices
prevail that the returns be indeed graf
flying to the producer. With the con-
sumer, too, the hope of the lower cost
of living is the comfort he most cher
ishes. Looking about almost everyone
can find something to be thankful for
if he tries, for it is a pretty good old
world after ALL

THE first mention of the occurrence
of coal in the United States, according
to the United States Geological Sur
vey, is made in the journal of Father
Hennepin, French Jesuit missionary,
who in 1879 recorded the site of "cole
mine" on Illinois river, near the pres
ent city of Ottawa, Ill. The first act
ual mining of coal was in the Richmond
Basin, Va, about 70 years after Faith
er Hennepin's discovery in Illinois, but
the first records of production from the
Virginia mines were for the year 1922,
when, according to one authority, 81, ;
900 tons were mined. Ohio probably
ranks second in priority of production,
as coal was discovered there in 1855,
but the records of production date back
only to 1898. The mining of anthracite
in Pennsylvania began about 1870, and
it is said that in 1907 55 tons were
shipped to Columbia, Pa. Reports of
the anthracite coal trade are usually
begun with the year 1920, when 365
long tons were shipped to Philadelphia
from the Lehigh region. The known
coal fields of the United States en-
brace a total area, according to the
United States Geological Survey, of
80, 296 square miles, to which may be
added over 100000 square miles of
which little is known, but which may
contain workable Goals, and about 30,
900 square miles where the coal lies
under heavy cover and is not consider
ed available under present conditions.
The annual rate of exhaustion at the
present time as represented by the pro-
duction in 1910 and 1911 is .025 per cent
of the supply. The quantity of coal
still in the ground at the close of 1910
was 5000 times the production of that
year, or, estimating half ton of coal
lost for every ton recovered, the supply
is equivalent to 1000 times the annual
rate of exhaustion.

If THE country merchant will accept
the farmers telephone order and mail
it at once to the farm by the parcels
post and the rural route he will quickly
prove the value of the nearby store
and increase it's usefulness. If he will
do as the city merchant does, call up
his farm customers each day and solicit
their orders, he will make the parcels
post serve him and strengthen him
with his neighborhood.

OVER 100, 900 persons held by the law

country, to say nothing of what it costs
individual sufferers. And still scarcely
any two persons have any one idea as
to how to reduce the evil.

Wheeler thinks the application OF the

The different species of ants have
different means of defending themselves
against invasion by allen ants, or other
insects. For aggressive fighting. the
mandibles are the chief weapon, being

odor Professor Wheeler says that many
species Of Formica spray their enemies

males appear, 10 go through, In turn, the
same cycle, the old home colony, how
ever, continuing to contribute TO the num-
Der OF new colonies at regular intervals.
The building UP and maintenance OF a
colony form one of the most perfect Illus
trations of communistio life that can be
found. The workers. though sterile and
under ordinary circumstances. unable TO
lay eggs, display a degree Of maternal
unselfishness for the good Of the whole
that is perhaps not TO be found duplicated
among other creatures on the face OF the
earth.
The workers are the result OF underfeed-
ing. The food they collect is intended
for the community. and especially for the
growing young. Although supplied with
stores of 1t within their community stom-
achs, they take only so much as Will FUR
nish active existence. and hold the re-
mainder In reserve for others. Property.
TO them. Is a possession. not for individual
use, but for all.
The queens of the agricultural ants
those which grow fungus, are provided
with dowries, when they take their nup-
tial UtRntB, IOE luc Va AaN''
homes. They carry with them packets OF
filaments from the fungus gardens OF the
old home, tucked away in = little pock-
ct In the floor Of the mouth. One can al
most imagine the mother queen saying,
an the bride moves toward the exit from
the nest: MY dear. take with my last
kiss this little packet. II will be OF SER
vice to you in your hrst days Of house
keeping, for It will start the garden you
careful, my dear: remember all / have
told you, and may God bless you"
After she has opened up her new abode
she splits out the fungus and begins her
garden. This she weeds and fertilizes
and watches over until the first workers
appear TO perform the task for her. II Is
interesting to note that, like prosperous
human families. many Of the largest and
most prosperous ants OF the north tenn
perate zone make use OF alien ants to
bring up their first born. In other words,
they employ nursemaids that are not OF
their own household. The methods en-
ployed by the ants In general In rearing
their young remind one Of the sugges-
tons which somo socialists have made for
the bringing UP of children in community
groups.
