Violin Making.

It is only within the last five yeara
that violin boxes have been manufac
tured by machinery in the German
city of Markneukirchen. Up to that
time the work was done by hand, and
was. with few exceptions, house in
dustry. In 1907 stock company Oh
several of the large exporters was
formed. 1t bought patents and erect
ed a large factory. The original pur-
pose was to furnish the dealers with
a violin body, called in Germany
"schachtel," or box, that would be as
cheap as those made in Bohemia, and
with the advantage of being made OF
seasoned wood and each body being
exactly the same. Later, with I'M
proved machinery. the factory was
able to put out finished violins. IL
costs so little in Markneukirchen to
make violins that they could be sold
n the United States. despite the As
per cent. duty, lower than they could
be manufactured in this country.

them on the tablecloth
Barnsfield saw instantly that some
climax had arrived, but what he did
not know He came back and sat down
in his chair.
What do you mean?" he said.
II mean," replied Balduc, that l

you In Huron county, so you owe me
just nineteen thousand dollars. You
paid me today, nineteen thousand, six
hundred, which was SIX hundred too

NO." said Balduc, taxes can only
be paid in money. That's the law.
You can't pay taxes with property.
Your tax receipts are not worth he'll

oKLAHoMA's LARGEST CROP.
Output This Season Estimated More
Than 535oo,ooo Bushels.

Guthrie, Okla, oct. l0.-The Ok,c-
homa corn crop for 1912 is the biggest
is the states history, and, according
to the best estimates obtainahle, Will
total 53,500OOO bushels. Corn IS
grown in every county of the state
and the average yield in the state per
acre is placed by the state board OF
agriculture at 1919 bushels. Ada'r
county. in northern Oklahoma, leads
with an average of forty bushels. In
the northern halves of both old OK
lahoma and Indian Territories the
corn crop is exceedingly heavy.
1t was figured by the state board
that the total corn acreage this year
would fall about 3 per cent under
that planted in 1911. But small
portion of the acreage this year was
abandoned for any reason whatever,
as the season has been the best Tor
corn in several years. The rains were
more frequent and came at opportune
times. Practically every farmer VINO
planted corn this year got crop.
