 Some one asked the reason for the throng at the tax collectors office at this time, and the answer wrs given that after the 3lst day of December those who ia.ve failed to pay the amount assessed will have to pay an additional fee. One os the clerks who has been in the tax col lector's office for several years, stated that the number of taxpayers who are fully aware that no one can escape taxer CT death and who defer the payment until the last moment was astonishing.

When we compare the present sg-
ricultural yield Of the United States
with that Of even ten years ago, 1t
is almost impossible to comprehend
the increase during the decade. We
are disposed to consider the wheat
and corn crops the leading yield Of
the nation, and yet the hay crop
Of the country is more valuable than
the wheat product. 1t is estimated
by experts that billion dollars will
not cover the value of the farm
yield in the New Northwest this
year. And. then, the minor crops
of the nation have a large total value.
Few people outside of the blue
berry's habitat know that its yield
must be spoken Of in millions.
Maine. alone. is just harvesting a
million-dolar blueberry crop. 1t
would seem that these United States
Of America are capable OF feeding
their own people, without the reci-
procity of President Taft or the
tariff for revenue of Governor Viii.
son allowing foreign farm-products
to enter the country free or practi.
cally free. The farmers of this
country are the last ones who should

Josephus Allen.

This week it is again the sad duty
of the Record to chronicle the death
of one of Emmons county 8 pioneers,
man who spent five years Of his
early life following the fortunes of
the Union army in the war of the
Rebellion, (being mustered out a
year after the conclusion Of that
war;. Master Mason and an up
right man, the number of whose
acquaintance was the number Of his
friends Comrade Josephus Allen.
Last week Mr.. Allen was reported
to he rapidly failing. and Thursday
last the sad news reached Linton
that he was dead. At the request
Of the widow and children the Lin
ton lodge of Freemasons took charge
of the funeral, which was held from
the family residence near Dale the
following afternoon. The entire
Dale neighborhood was represented, ,
and many friends of the deceased
from Pollock were in attendance,
and the procession which wendell its
way from the Allen home to the
Dale cemetery must have been close
to mile 10 length. Rev. L. A.
Lovelace. of Linton. an old Union
soldier. delivered the funeral ser
mon. and the impressive last rites of
the Freemasons for departed
brother marked the iaterment.
Josephus Allen was born August
823, 1913, at the old Allen home in
Herkimer county. New York, and
lived there until shortly before the
civil war. At the outbreak of hos
tilities he enlisted in the Fifth Iowa
Cavalry. Co. *" On December
81. 1863, he re-enlisted and was
transferred to Co. &C." Brackets
Battalion, Minnesota Cavalry. He
was discharged May "a, 1866.
On March 2. 1873. Mr.. Allen mar
ried Susan M. Irwin. and unto that
union four children were born-all
of whom are living. The children
are Mace. Guy and Louis Allen and
Mrs. Melissa Billingsley. all residing
in the Dale neighborhood.
The deceased and his family moved
to Emmons county in 1886 and have
lived here ever since. They went
through the early hardships of a
pioneer country in building them
selves home. Those years and the
years Of army service show that the
deceased was not one who believed
in spending q life of idleness. He
was kind friend and an obliging
neighbor, and there was many q sad
heart among those who watched the
remains Of their old friend lowered
to its last resting-place. The sym
pathy Of all goes out to the bereavcd
widow and children.
Had Mr.. Allen lived one day long
er he would have been just So years
old. the funeral being held on the
Goth anniversary of this hivth
