by herself mighty big advertising

one of the women to whom she gave
a bottle of the Beautifier now consider
it indispensable for the proper care
of the hair, but each of them has been
the means of getting several Of her
friends to use it. AS a consequence,
if things keep on in this way for a
few months longer, we will be selling
more of it than of all other hair
preparations combined. Sprinkle a
little Harmony Hair Beautifier on

"Now is the time to join the Flor

1t is a worthy institution that is do
ing much good for the State. There
are no dues other than the one dol
lar which entities all to membership,
and for which the last report of the
Society is sent. This report alone

men experienced in growing things
in Florida, and. there cannot be tot
much knowledge spared about how t.
do things the right way.

The following instructions have been
issued by the State Tax Commission
to the County Assessors throughout
the State as to how to arrive at the
full cash value of property:
"You are instructed to assess the
property at so per cent of its true
cash value. This means that you are
to assess the property at half of what
it is actually worth. The true cash
value of property, both real and per-
sonal, is the actual value of the prop
erty when sold by the owner volun-
tarily in an open market under nor
NAL conditions for cash or its equiv,a-
lent to a buyer willing to pay the
price asked by the seller. There IS
no difference in the true cash value
and the true market value under nor
nal conditions. Forced sale prices
does not measure value and should
not be your basis of assessment"

YOUR SHARE OF WAR TAX.
rCarrnn Joral1


The Herald desires to call the at
tention OF its readers to the new war
tax provided by congress. It's decided
~ interesting and illuminating in re-
gard to the astonishing manner In
which the finances of the government
are run. Don't laugh: the new war
measure. when there is no war. Is go
ing to cost you more than you believe
to be right. Just think of II.
II you sell your farm mfor $3.50 an
acre you will have to pay rs cents per
acre in tax. II you sell your town
property for $4,000 you will have to
pay in war" tax $13. Figure for your
self: The tax is so cents for the first
$500, and so cents for ever 800 there
after How do you like II? Not very
well. Ell? The person that drives by
you in his luxurious automobile pays
nothing for our phantom war" But
if you use the telegraph. the telephone
the express or the freight you must
pay tribute. Why. there's tax on ev-
erythng. and there's more TO follow.
Just think of the man who sells his
quarter section being obliged 10 pay
about SIS war tax, when there Is
no war. This war" tax is the price
paid for the administration that has
brought on these psychological good
% times. It's great. OF course you
viii vote to support it next Tuesday.

TWO KINDS OF POVERTY.

<~OuNty 11LlLtn.J
There are two kinds OF poverty In
this world observable IN every nook
and corner There are those that are
ceanly. energetic and determined to
Improve. They may be too poor 10
own more than a pair OF overalls and
IL shirt, but the shirt has been washed
sometime within month. They event
ually win and slowly emerge from
poverty into comfortable circum :
stances There are very few weil-to-
do Americans who have not at some
time been in circumstances not very
many DAYS drive from poverty. but
cleanliness energy. thrift. and deter
nina ton attains success OF more or
less marked degree.
| There Is another brand of poverty
that is dirty. sluggish, drifting. They
wander thru the world aimlessiy, little
caring, little needing. They would
rather loaf than live: or they would
rather play poker than labor; or they
would rather be drunk than sober.
They believe in the adjustment OF
claims against each other with the INST
or razor, and imagine the bomb or the
red flag efficacious in enforcing de-
mands against the government.
II Is no disgrace to be poor, but II
makes a difference into what class OF
poverty a man places himself. The
first class is honorable. often much
more so than riches. The second class
Is disgraceful.

DON'T BE A MOUSE.

The campaign is over. Campaigns

is to vote.
who talks and fails to act. Whatever
your party or your preferences go to
the polls and vote them. Take time to
perform a common duty II you believe
a candidate ought to be defeated go to
the polls and vote that way, If YOU
believe he should he elected take time to
help do it, If you believe a thing be-
lieve it hard enough to work at II few
minutes on election day. BE man,
not a mouse.
This year. if ever. Iowa should poll
fun vote. The democratic vote will be
out 10 man flushed with the hope OF
a possible success. And that hope is
based on the other hope that repub
licans viii neglect their duty thru a
false sense OF security. That is the only
chance. as IL is the only hope of the
democrats to put one over If you are
for the republican ticket get out and
vote l. Vote one way or another. Don't
