We presume there never was a
newspaper in any locality that gave
all the local happenings. 1t is often
that someone comes or goes that the
reporter does not see. 1t happens
that the family is missed several
times. They get the impression that
the editor does not care to mention
them This is a mistake. In most
country towns the local work is the
hardest work connected with news
paper. A man may be a good edi-
torial writer but flat failure in
the local work, and vice versa. Edi-
torial material is obtained by study,
by reading newspapers, sometimes by
using scissors. Persons and local
happenings can't be read and clipped
from other papers, not by a jugful.
1t takes physical as we'll as mental
exertion to get out four or six col
umns of local news in town of this
size. Most people take local paper
to get the local happenings. Don't
be afraid to tell the editor or report
er that you have friends visiting you.
There are lots of people who are in
terested in your friends. You owe it
as duty to them to let your friends
know of their doings. Perhaps you
think the paper shows partiality, but
just see if the paper doesn't treat
you right if you give it chance.

The only way to build up town
is for everyone to go hand in hand
every man to the wheel. Danish all
feelings of discord, if any; let har-
mony prevail and prosperity will fol-
low. Talk about your town, write
about it, speak well of it, encourage
your men at the head of municipal
affairs; choke the croakers, gag the
grumblers and squelch the scolders.
Beautify the streets in every way,
patronize its merchants, refrain
from sending out for goods, favor
home enterprises always, and if you
can't think of some good word to
say, keep quiet. Be a hustler and
keep it up.

Keokuk Dam is Big Enterprise.

If this is an age of electricity, it
is so largely because of the utiliza-
tion of water power, and nothing is
mort gratifying than the develop
ments in this direction in America.
During the past month was witnessed
the completion of the Keokuk, Iowa,
dam in the Mississippi, generating
100000 horsepower and driving the
street cars and factory wheels of St.
Louis. It's full energies will not
merely furnish light and traction to
many cities in five states, but will
supply manufactures estimated to
employ million mens The project
cost $25, 100000, but under the 90
year contract it should prove an i'm
mensely profitable investment to
stockholders. And this is only lit
tie more than a beginning, with the
possibilities of the Mississippi and
many other streams.

"WET" AND "DRY" QUESTION TO

Peoria, Ill.,, Nov. 6.-The wet"

chief factor in the choice of president
and adoption of new constitution
by the Illinois Equal Suffrage Assn,
at its forty-fifth annual convention
today, the first since limited ballot
rights have been granted to women
of Illinois.
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president
and candidate for reelection, is re-
garded as an ally of the VETS.
though she has not declared herself
on the question, but promises to do
so if the convention becomes wet"
and dry struggle. ~ s
A rival for the Office of president
arose today in Mrs. Ella S. Stewart, a
former president of the organization
Mrs. Stewart is said to be supported
by small group of suffragists, head,
ed by Catherine Waugh Mccullough.
They are all pioneers in the suffrage
movement in Illinois and trouble has
arisen, it is claimed, between them
and the ruling faction from jealousy
that a newer and younger element
stepped in at the last moment and
took the work and glory of victory
out of the hands of those who had so
land and painfully laid the foundation
that made that victory possible.
1t was revealed today that Mrs. Nc
Cullough and Mrs. Stewart were
among the members relieved of their
authority when the constitutional
committee was dismissed last week
at a board meeting called by Mrs.
Trout

MEANINGS OF INCOMES TOLD
Courts Make a Clear Distinction Be-
tween Earnings and Capital When
Estate Is Involved.

What is income? II you bought
house ten years ago for $4,000 and
sold 1t yesterday for $4,000, would
the $4,000 profit count as income for
1913?
If you bought 1000 shares of stock
at 500 a share last September and
sold it yesterday at $40, would the
$4,000 profit be a part of your 1918
income?
No, in both instances. They should
properly be classed as additions to
capital, and capital is not in any sense
income. One man might have a mill
lion dollars inca bank vault and still
be not subject to an income tax, be-
cause his million wouldn't be earning
dollar
Income implies time; capital does
not Income is something earned over
period of time, but the added value
to the house was not in any sense
earned. Nor was the increase in the
price Of 1000 shares of stock earned.
If it were attempted to measure by
an income yard stick the fluctuations
in capital, no one would ever be able
to tell exactly what his income was.
Until you sell your house you do not
know how much value has been added
and the same is true of your stocks
and bonds, You may guess, but there
is no certainty.
Income is a definite and stated re-
turn upon labor and upon capital The
rent derived from a house is income.
The added value to the house is capt.
tai. A mans salary is income, but his
capacity to earn more salary is CAPT
tai.
If you we're to find thousand dol
lars on the street, that would not fig
ure as part of your income for 1918
If you at once invested it so as to get
/ D per cent. interest, the $50 it would
bring YOU would be part of your in
come for the year. If your father
gave you house, that wouldn't fig
ure in your income account, but as
soon as the house began to yield rent
/ for you that would be income. The
I gift OF the house would be an addition
to youl capital, ...z
The courts make clear distinction
in the matter Of income and capital
The trustee OF an estate might invest
| 100000 in securities and in yeal
be able to sell item for $4,000 Il
the trusteeship stipulated that ht
should distribute only income to the
benefciaries the court would not per
init him to give them the $4,000 prof
derived from the sale of the securities
That would be capital and not income
The $4,000 would have to be rein
vested.

Mother had been suffering with
nervous headaches for seven weary
years, but kept on drinking coffee.

not give up coffee, as cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such slave to coffee
she thought 1t would be terrible to
give it up.

change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared One morning
