FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR

Prospects at the opening Of the

striking contrast to those Of six
months ago.

uncertain, whereas business has

The record of the first half of
1915 is largely one Ct difficulties en-
countered and obstacles surmounted,
and the funda mental soundness of
the economic structure is demon
strated by the steady recuperation
from the effects of the previous
strain.
Acute depression in my lines

''MOther Cleveland Describes
In Verse Fourth of Long Ago

The following interesting article
relative to poem written by
Mother" Cleveland. aged 81, and
taken from recent issue of the
Cincinnati Times-Star, is of inter-
est here, as the talented lady is a
cousin to Mr.. w. c. Doughty, pro-
prietor of the Loyal Hotel of this
| city:
| Mother" Cleveland! Ninety-sev-
en- years young. This dear old lady
is mother" to group of young
bloods," who fought for the Union
she loves SO well, the mother of
the Guthrie Grays, Sixth o. v. H.,
the Cincinnati regiment, which
helped make history all through the
four years following 81, the regi-
ment in which her son, Walter Bald
win, served. She also has had the
title of mother" conferred on her
by the veterans about her home,

Mrs. Aaron B. Cleveland was
born in 1918, and her mind is a
storehouse of experiences and men,

Fourth different from the modern

Pleasant, near Wheeling, when I
was ten years old. There took place
the piping of flies, the beating of
drums, the shooting of anvils, in
J lieu of cannon, with old-time CONT
| nentals, k-woodsmen, Indians
and some conviviality, which, re-
call, ended in quite row, but. for
tunately, nothing serious befell any
of the scrappers.
Her next most memorable Fourth
befell her in Toledo, Ohio, few
years after the Mexican war, when
an accident took place in which two
men were badly wounded, one of
| whom afterward died. ''In those
days such an accident caused .ea
deal of excitement" she said.
There was the usual amount of
spread-eagle oratory, which, think,
was more INDUCED in then than
now, and among the most promi-
nent speakers were Col. Steve Nc
Groarty, who was a fire-eating Irish
man; also Jim Ashley, who after
wards went to Congress from To-
ledo.

Another Tax Extension Measure

Last Saturday Representative
A. G. Gray of independence county
introduced a bill in the legislature
to extend the time Of paying taxes
until October lst in the following
counties. Independence, lizard, Full
ton, Sharp, Clay, Randolph, Greene,
Lawrence, Howard, Nevada, Prairie,
Monroe and Jackson.
The bill followed the defeat Of
the general bill to extend the tax
paying time, and when offered by
Mr.. Gray narrowly escaped being
indefinitely postponed,
However, the house finally agreed
that the measure should be sent to
the Ways and Means Committee,
where Ii will probably sleep the re-
mainder of the session, as the lower
house of the general assembly has
all along seemed dead set against
any extension in taxpayine, either
as a general or local matter

NINETEEN FIfTEEN'S CROP

What is the most important thing
The thing most talked Of now;
The thing that interests US all
With when-and what-and how?
The subject that the papers all
Are full of, fit to pop;
The subject we're all thinking on
Is nineteen ffteens crop.
If the export Of this country
Is stopped by Europe's fight;
1t will make our produce cheaper
And the money will get tight
The thing we need to study on
To keep US all on top
Is to try to raise our food at home
In nineteen fifteen's crop.
We can't raise everything we use
Perhaps if we would try
BY putting in mixture,
Of some things we have to buy;
We all might raise a surplus,
Although the price may drop,
To trade for what we do not raise
In nineteen fifteen's crop.
Now stop and think about il
Just Give this subject thought
How many things that you can rails,
Are things you've always bought
Then plan to put in some Of them,
And make our spending stop
On food that we can raise at home
In nineteen tifteen's crop.

because Of the failure of the people

stamped out. With this one ex.

has made satisfactory and steady
progress, say the authorities.

that they never saw an American

When we tell them that In the Unit

work. they think we are lying to
them, and that such talk is simply
another scheme to get them to work.
The educational systeam established

will not be ashamed to work.
From what | can see, the Amer
leans are doing a great deal of good
in the islands. Our occupation is
missionary enterprise. Many OF the
Americans over there would not
make good missionaries, but the
Americans as a whole are having a
good influence and the natives are
