Tax on Soft Drinks New Peril
of War.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 31.-A
stamp tax on soft drinks, as we'll az
beer and patent medicines, is con-
templated by the House Ways and
Means Committee, which is prepar.
ing an emergency internal revenue
bill to offset Treasury losses due to
to curtailment Of imports.
1t is urged that soft drinks are as
much luxuries as wines or beer, and
that equitable distribution of the tax
burden among all consumers would
be accomplished by this plan.
Another suggestion is stamp tax
OF 5 or TO per cent on railroad tickets
and admission to theaters, baseball
parks and other licensed amusements.
1t is estimated that from $50, OOO,-
600 to $50, 600, 600 could be raised in
this way.
The committee has not determined
upon complete taxation plan, but
purposes to hasten its deliberations
so a bill may be introduced soon after
President Wilson addresses Congress
on the subject, which probably will
be Immediately upon his return from
New Hampshire. .
Administration leaders are i'm
pressed with the necessity of quick
action in order to disturb business
conditions as little as possible.
Democrats of the Senate will dis
cuss the emergency in party caucus
to be called later this week.
A doubling of the present tax on
beer, it is estimated by Treasury ex-
perts, would produce $65, 600, 600.
Some committee members, however,
feel that taxation of commodities
other than beer and patent medicines
would cause less popular friction.
Among the committee Democrats
there has been some opposition to
any war tax at all at this session.
The contention being that there is
plents Of available money for present
needs.

The ''Tallest" Dog Story

Some men at the club were telling
dog stories after a days shooting.
After some time, when the tales had
got very "tall," one little man, who
had been quite silent, said:
II have a dog that makes all yours
seem fools. | generally feed him
myself after dinner, but the other day
a friend dropped in and the poor ami
NAL slipped my mind. After the
meal we went into the garden. The
dog scratched up flower and laid it
at my feet, with the most yearning
look in his eyes-it was forget-me-
not"
Nobody told any more dog stories
that evening.-Ex.

Capitalizing Life.

The average policy, considering in
surable population, is $4,000. If a
man can make SIS per week he is
worth SIG, 600 in money to his family
for that is what such a sum would
bring if placed on interest at 5 per
cent. If he keeps on living and
working his family will enjoy that
income, but when he dies his pay
automatically stops unless he has
had the foresight to carry life insur-
ance.
Few people want to die, but it has
not been until recent years that they
warmed up TO life insurance SUI
ficiently to consider it an investment
Of the highest order.
Occasionally man will be found
who is too superstitious to carry life
insurance, just as one will sometimes
find man who is too selfish. In the
main, however, it is looked upon
from an economic viewpoint, the
owner of the human machine capital
izing it to the best of his ability.
In the United States in 1860 there
were $4,000 policies in force, insuring
tl41, 600, 600. At present, in round
numbers, there are more than TO-
coo, 600 policies in force. In this
country there is annually paid the
sum of over 500, COO, 600 in pre-
miums.

EIGHT FULL DAYS
And Four Nights Of Fun at the Mis-
souri, State Fair.

And Four Nights Of Fun at the Mis-
souri, State Fair.
Recognizing the justice of the de-
mand that the people be given more
time to see the Missouri, State Fair,
the Directors have decided to keep
the gates open eight full days this
year, beginning Saturday, September
26, and ending Saturday, October 8.
-Four nights the grounds will be open
and the great pavilion alight, and the
kings and queens OF the equine world
will be seen at their best.
Friday, which, heretofore, has been
getaway day, will be the Great Sad
die Horse Day-as full of events as
Big Thursday.
Racing at the fair this year will be
better than ever. And there will be
greater competition. For instance,
in the 2:4O trot there are fifty en-
trants; in the 2:17 trot forty-two; in
the 2:14 trot twenty-five; in the 2:24
pace forty-nine; in the 200 pace
Twenty-Five, and SO on. Of course
not all of the entrants will start, but
there will be field full for every
race and excitement enough for any
body.
These racing events are we'll distri-
buted through the week, and not one
of the days will be a dull day-even
Sunday being dedicated to a great
musical feast by that greatest of pres
ent day bands, named for and direct
ed by .Signor Ernesto Natiello.
Railroads have been kind to the
fair management and train service
into Sedalia and into the grounds will
be ample.
Hotels and private homes will take
care of all corners, and there will be
no excessive charges, no "gouging.
For those who care to come to
spend week, seeing the fair from
every angle at a minimum of expense
camping grounds will be provided
within the fair grounds enclosure,
and no charge will be made.
Every indication points to the
greatest of all Missouri fairs and ev-
cry step will be taken to- secure for
every visitor just what he. or she
wants in the way of accommodation. |

VALUABLE STOCK ...
CONSUMED
Country Barn Representing Thousands
-. Of Dollars Reduced to Ashes.

Country Barn Representing Thousand
Of Dollars Reduced to Ashes.
William Olive, residing one mil
west and five miles south of Rich Hill
suffered great financial loss whe1
his large barn was completely con
sumed by fire. The Olive farm ant
buildings have long been recognized
as one among the very largest ant
best in this entire section Of the coun
try, and the fire will prove not onl,
an awful calamity to the owner of TIT
property destroyed, but to the sur
rounding community as well.
Besides the barn, which was a very
large and well improved structure
valued at least at $500, the flames
consumed the following live stock
and other property:
Two fine Jacks, estimated value,
. $500.
One stallion, value $1,000.
Seven Jennets.
Oats in the sheaf estimated at 1900
bushels.
Eight tons Of timothy and clover,
hay and other feed stuff.
Farm implements, tools and We
hicles, many new and in first class
condition, besides many things Of
lesser value, were reduced to ashes.
Very little more than $500 in in
surance was carried by Mr.. Olive on
the barn and other property destroyed,
which doubtless is not more than
one-third of the real value.
In what way the fire originated is
not known, though it is supposed to
have started by the large quantity of
sheaf oats, stored in the barn, becom-
ing overheated. Mr.. Olive says he
hasn't an enemy on earth that he
KNOWS or, ana can attrlDute the origin
OF the blaze to no other cause than
the oat straw becoming ignited.
Al the time Of the fire Mr. Olive
was in Rich Hill awaiting the arrival
of the north bound train on which
Mrs. Olive was returning home from
Nevada. A telephone message from
neighbors apprised him of his misfor-
tune and, securing an automobile,
hurried to his home only to view a
mass of smouldering ruins, all that
was left Of the huge barn, and the
blackened, charred carcasses of the
animals. -Rich Hill Review.

PENROSE GREETED
UP WEST BRANCH
Senator Finds Plenty Of People to
Welcome Him and to Give As
surance Of Support
VISITED THREE COUNTIES
Democratic Conditions Said to Be
Very Favorable For Republi-
cans Victory
| VISITED THREE COUNTIES

Senator Boies Penrose received
abundant assurances of support on
his tour up the west branch yester-
day and northumberland, Lycomirg
and Clinton counties gave him hearty
greeting. Last night he addressed a
big meeting in Lock Haven.
dispatch fror, Lock Haven says:
The Senator expressed himself as
highly gratified over the warmth .cf
his greeting in this section of the
State. Two years ago there was q
mighty Bull Moose sentiment herr.
but Senator Penrose sai1 he had been
convinced from what he had learn Il
to-day that there had set in a steady
drift back to the Republican parry.
He made it plain that he expects to
receive big vote in each of the three
counties he had visited, including the
support of a large following that went
over to Colonel Roosevelt in 1919.
Party workers with whom M-.
Penrose conferred assured him that
he would carry Clinton county. He
was told that in addition to the reg
ular Republican vote he would be
given substantial support from the la
boring element irrespective of politics,
and many Democrats who are dissat-
isfied with industrial and business con-
ditions. for which the Democratic
tariff law Is blamed. Senator Penrose
was informed that the employees of the
plants in this section were eagerly
awaiting an opportunity to vote for
the return of the Republican party
to control of public affairs.
IAN indication of political sentiment
is disclosed by the fact that the Pe'i-
rose nomination petitions contain the
names of hundreds of laboring men.
Traces of the Ryan Mccormick
Democratic feud clearly are apparen.
throughout this section. Among Ser
ator Penrose's callers to-day were
many Democrats. who will vote for
him because of their opposition to the
candidates. of Mccormick and A.
Mitchell Palmer Since the recent
visit to Lock Haven of Mccormick,
the supporters of Michael ]. Ryan
have been very active. They conf
IDENTIFY predict that Ryan will carry
Clinton county. And only slight inter
est is shown in the candidacy of Gift
ord Pinchot. The Republicans are en-
thusiastic over Martin G.. Brumbaugh
and he will be supported by large
element of the Bull Moose part.
Senator Penrose made three stops

Changes Is Denied

MED to-day at official headquarters in
Altoona and in Harrisburg.
One story was to the effect that
passenger engines would be run from
New York to Harrisburg; Philadelphia
and Lewistown to Pittsburgh This
it is said would cut down considerable
expense as fewer engines and crews
would be needed.
