changed to heroes, the wheels of indus
try were once more started going, buildings arose
from the ashes, trees were planted and flowers
and lawns were made to transform the slime into
long stretches of attractiveness. Great resourc-
es of courage and perseverance were unloosened
and the citizens found themselves stronger than
all the calamites. Mans soul matched itself with
the terrors of nature and mans soul won the VIC
tory.
The universe is vast but the spirit of man is
vaster. The abysses of space are deep but the
human heart is deeper. The forces of earth are
strong, but there is that in man which over-rides
the floods which scorns defeat, which defies pain
and suffering and death.

THE CALCULATION OF LIFE.

Thou art aged, but recount.
Since thy early life began
What may be the just amount
Thou shouldst number of thy span;
How much to thy debts belong,
How much when vain fancy caught thee
How much to the giddy throng
How much to the poor who sought thee;
How much to thy lawyers wiIes,
How much to thy mental crew.
How much to thy ladys smiles.
How much to thy sick-bed due:
How much for thy hours of leisure
For thy hurrying to and fro,
How much for each idle pleasure
If the list thy memory know
Every wasted, msspent day,
Which regret can ne'er recall;
If all these thou takst away,
Thou wilt find thy age but small;
That thy years were falsely told,
And, even thou are not old.
Jean Antoine de Baif.

Voting Centers

The reflective citizen who went to cast his bal
lot yesterday must have felt, voters every
where are coming to feel, that the duty of voting
is not given the dignity it deserves.
Of the thirty-five polling places, almost half
were in private residences others scattered
among empty store rooms, livery stables barber
shops, groceries, lodge rooms etc. The arrange
ments were of temporary character and the
ropes stretched about the sacrosanct territory
looked as if they had been put in place by chill
dren at play The whole apparatus gave one the
impression of having been hastily thrown togeth-
er as for some negligible function.
And yet this function is nothing less than the
expression of the will Of the people, than which
it is difficult to think of anything import
ant in community life.
To secure the privilege of voting, our fathers
yielded their lives. Many battlefield has red
dened, many soul has spent lonely years in a
prison cell, multitudes have toiled and sweated in
one way another to make it possible for the
citizens in a free country to have the right of
franchise. Multtudes of others would be found
ready at any time to protect it or to recover it,
in case it should be taken away, because the bal
lot is the very symbol of that which we love in
our nation and the casting of it is supreme act
of citizenship.
III any institution in our possession should be
housed with architectural dignity it is the poll
ing place A little club of one hundred members
will have its own home appropriately fitted and
arranged Any trivial sectional organization does
not think of operating without suitable head
quarters. Yet the one organization in our pub
lie life which is of Importance above all is housed
in private residences, in livery stables and in
vacant rooms!
Shall we then build permanent precinct head
quarters wherein the ballot box may find it's true
dignity and fitting environment? That would
be vastly preferable to the present system. But
why not school houses for this purpose ?
The school house belongs to the public: it is
heated, lighted, and janitored at public expense.
1T is built with dignity and it expresses some
thing of the interest common to us all. Why
should not the ballot box be housed there?
1t would mean a saving in money and it would
exalt citizenship. 1t would do even more than
that, because it would bring the boys and girls
who are preparing for citizenship in close con-
tact with it's highest expression: and it would
help keep the voter in mind that through the act
OF balloting he is discharging his responsibility
to these same boys and girls as we'll as to him
self.

OLD RUsE GOES TO DISCARD

Make it Necessary for the Real Sale
Value to be Given in All Deeds for
the Transfer of Real Estate.

Under the new revenue law it will be
impossible for the purchaser of $780,
900 piece of property to conceal it IN
der 81 consideration and make for his
neighbor, the tax collector, or any pros
pective purchaser any price which he
thinks will work to his advantage.
In other words, the law promises to
administer knockout blow to the Gus.
tom, which has been steadily growing
of placing nominal considerations in
transfers Of real estate.
1t is understood that the purpose in
the one dollar consideration habit has
been to evade taxation on the real
value of the property, which would
have been indicated had the actual con
sideration been placed on the deed, as
well as to keep the general public in
ignorance as to what actually was
paid for the property.
The custom has grown to such pro
portions that it has come to be recog-
nized as serious evil both in its rela-
tions to an equitable collection oe taxes
and in it's effect on the real estate mar
ket. 1t is generally recognized that
assessed valuations are less, consider
ably SO in many cases, than the fair
market value of the properties affect.

Mrs. Ella Bray Graham, formerly of

Syria, has found way to get around
the order of the Turkish government
against the dispatch of any letters
written in the English language and
the Rev. and Mrs. Bray are receiving
their regular letters from their daugh-
ter. When the order was promulgated
short time ago Mrs, Graham got busy
at once. The United States warship
North Carolina was moored in the
Beirut harbor and Mrs. Graham went
aboard the big vessel and proceeded to
write her letters home. Later they were
mailed with the regular mail Of the
warship and no effort to stop their dis
patch was made by the Turkish Off
cials. Mrs. Graham in her letters de-
clares that Beirut is still quiet but that
money and food are getting very
scarce in the city.

sponded There are no towns of any
great size in Kenosha county and it is
deemed wise to conduct this movement
from Kenosha. Over at Palmyra the
citizens got together and organized an
automobile crusade which went out in
to the adjoining country and laid this
matter before the people Of the farms.
In a few hours they secured car load
of corn to be sent to Belgium, and it
is now on its way to relieve the suf
fering there. The success at Palmyra
has been duplicated at Whitewater and
many of the other smaller cities in the
state. In some of the cities regular
organized campaign is being made to
raise money and food supplies for the
Belgian sufferers, but Kenosha county
is called upon to contribute corn and
it seems that the farmers of the coun-
ty should be glad to aid in the move
ment. We are now working out some
plan to reach the farmers and we are
hopeful that there will be response
worthy o. the county,

Advancement association, says: eve

vailed and one the like Of which we are
not liable to meet again during our life

stances and the fact that Wisconsin is
one of the most prosperous states in
the union we ought to exert ourselves
to the limit and do it without Gelay.'
