SALOONS MAKE HIGH TAXES.
Dry States Have, Lowest Tax
Rates.

The state tax rate OF "wet" Colo
RADIO is three times higher than the
tax rate Of prohibition Kansas. Here's
the proof. Mr.. Taxpayer:
Colorado Rate-$1.30 per thousand
on a STRAIGHT HUNDRED PER
CENT. VALUATION.
Kansas Rate-$1.20 per thousand on
a FORTY PER CENT VALUATION.
For example: Mr.. Home Owner In
Colorado pays $3.50 state tax on $4..
900 property. This is state tax alone.
County taxes are correspondingly
high.
Mr.. Home Owner in Kansas pays
only $1.92 state tax on the same prop
erty. In Kansas the county and city
taxes are correspondingly low.
Statewide prohibition in Oklahoma
has caused the board Of equalization
to clip one mill off OF the state taxes
there.
With statewide prohibition Fargo.
North Dakota. declared six per cent.
dividend on surplus city funds and
paid 1t back to the taxpayers.
DRY" Rockford. Illinois, has the

LETTIE TRUAX A SUICIDE
Waukesha Candy Woman Is Found in
Gas-Filed Room-Life Tragic
as Her Demise.

ukesha.-Lettie Truax is dead.
Miss TruaX was known to almost ev-
cry one in Waukesha county and in
the greater part of southern Wiscon-
sin. She was the industrious wcm-
an who for about forty years has
conducted a modest candy store in
this city. The departure Of Miss
TruaX was as tragic as the greater
part of her life of sixty odd years.
Bereft of all relatives since early
childhood, except crippled brother,
who passed away about ten years
ago, Lettie had little reason to be an
optimist. This morning she was
found dead in gas-filled room where
she had committed suicide During
the earlier years Lettie and her
brother, Bobbie, made both ends
meet by conducting their candy store
and We're even able to lay aside lit
tie rainy day stipend. They were
conspicuous figures at county fairs
here and were the first to introduce
the whistling peanut rooster With
the advent of sumptuousiy furnish
ed candy stores and ice cream parlors,
Lettie and Bobbie began to lose the
old patronage and trade gradually
dwindled. After the death of Bobbie,
Lettie tried to increase her income by
baking and selling cakes, but this
venture also met with failure.

GEO. WESTINGHOUSE DIES
IN NEW YORK CITY
Was lIionaire Manufacturer
of Railway quipment-Made
the First Air Brake.

New York, March 14.-George West
inghouse aged sixty-seven, famous in
ventor and millionaire manufacturer
of railway devices, died here Thurs.
day He died suddenly on Thursday
He had been seriously i'll for several
weeks of heart trouble, but his friends
and relatives had kept secret his In
disposition.
George Westinghouse was one of the
most noted inventors and manufac-
turers in the world. He was born at
Central Bridge, N. Y, October 6. 1886.
AS youth he spent much of his time
in his fathers machine shop and al
the age of fifteen years made his first
invention, a rotary engine.
His education was obtained in the
grammar and high schools.
To relate the history of the map
quickly, he invented a device for re-
placing railroad cars on the track in
1865. Three years later he invented
the Westinghouse air brake. He also
made other inventions in railway sig
nails, steam and gas engines, steam
turbines and electrical machinery. He
was the pioneer, in the face Of the
most intense opposition, in introduce
ing alternating current machinery in
America. This has made possible the
great development of water power for
long distances because of this means
of electrical transmission. He built
the great generators at Niagara Falls
and those for the elevated railway ana
the rapid transit system of New York.
He has established large works in the
United States, England, France and
Germany for the manufacture Of air
brakes, steam and electrical machin-
cry. He was the president of numer-
GUS corporations, employing approxi-
mately $4,000 people and representing
a capitalization of $120.000,000.

WATCHES BABY BURN
FRANTIC MOTHER SEES CHILD
BURN TO DEATH.
Infant Dies in Blazing Buggy as Par
ent Is Pevented Fom Rescue
by Neighbors.

ille.-While the cries of her
6 months old daughter were grow
ing weaker as she was being slowly
burned to death, Mrs. Carl Wallinger
struggled with neighbors, who would
not let her rush to the rescue of the
infant. After the baby's cries had
ceased and it's buggy and the porch
on which 1t had stood had settled into
pile of smoldering ashes, Mrs. Wal
linger collapsed. Physicians fear she
will not live.
The Wallinger family, with their
four children, the eldest being about
s years old, came here last summer
to cultivate sugar beets. While the
father was away from home and the
mother absent at the home of a
neighbor, William Gumoll, the house
caught fire. The cause of the blaze
is unknown.
The three older children bravely
tried to save their little sister, who
was sleeping in buggy in one of the
bedrooms. They managed to take
the buggy out onto a large porch, but
left 1t there when their childish cour-
age deserted them.
When the flames were discovered
by Mr.. Gumoll he, with the frantic
mother, hurried to the scene and at
the risk of their lives, entered the
building in search Of the children.
Not finding the baby in the room
where it had been left, it was sup
posed to have been rescued, They
were barely outside the burning
structure when the little one began
crying and it was noticed on the
porch, it's coverings a mass of flames
The burning porch prevented any
one from attempting a rescue and,
while the mother fought with neigh
bors, the little one was soon burned
to death.

Artists 25.OOO Years A..

Man began to be an artist subse-
quent to the last ice age, which period
is roughly estimated at from $4,000 to
10000 years ago" said Prof. George
Grant MacCurdy at the University
Museum lecture the other afternoon.
AT least that is the time the funda-
mentals first appear. Therefore, man
was an artist before he was maker
OF hieroglyphics. He produced objects
OF beauty before he tanned the wild
beasts.
The cave artist was practically
without an artistic background. but eli
matte, faunal and other environment
played no important part in the ORR
gin of troglodite art The models were
game animals, and ran largely to pro
files. for the cave artist had not
learned perspective, but he understood
motion. He made single figures. but
was long in acquiring composition"

CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN AGRICULTURE
The Latest Is Winning Cham.
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact of
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers In several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
Is that of Messrs. j. G. Hill & Sons
OF Lloydminster, Saskatchewan who
won in hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February. Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner OF this to be announced was .
peck OF oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned, and
alongside OF these was like quantity
belonging to Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
tition because he vas at one time the
winner OF the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were OF equal
weight-50 pounds to the bushel The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous In favor OF the Saskatche-
wan oats, A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit Of the Ca
madam product was that the oats,
grown In 1918, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
occasion. This. the third winning.
gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion Of the splendid $500 silver
trophy contributed by the state Of
Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid ad-
vertising card, were grown 800 miles
north OF the international boundary
line. proving that IN this latitude, all
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. In
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
AZ to 4S pounds to the bushel, and
with yields Of from 60 to 100 BUSH
els per acre. Wheat also does WELL
grades high, and yields from 80 to 40
bushels per acre. The same may be
said OF any portion OF Manitoba.
Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed
over the world not only as a country
where championship grains are grown,
but where cattle and horses are raised
that also carry off championships and
where wild grasses are abundant
yielders. cultivated hay and alfalfa
are grown. thus giving plenty OF feed,
and with good climate, sufficient
shelter and plenty of water, bring
about results such as western Canada
has been able to record. Thousands
OF farmers from tho United States
who have their homes In Canada bear
ample testimony to tho benefits they
have derived from farming in west
ern Canada advertisement.
