The american" Language


English as spoken in the
United States is a conglomera-
tion of words from various other
languages. and, as adapted to
common use in this country.
might appropriately be called
the American" language. In
a dictionary recently issued,
containing 10000 words, but 1O2
are of strictly American origin.
While the greater number are
from the Latin, Greek and An
glo-Saxon, there are thirty-nine
from the Slavonic, 108 from the
Spanish and ITO Celtic. Ninety
nine of the words are from the
Russian, or rather introduced in
this country by the Russian Jews.
The adoption of the most ex-
pressive words from other Ian
guages is largely an American
trait. The word that seems tc
the American to best fit the oc-
casion is the one he uses. Mesa

Arrangements have been con-
summated by the state board of
education whereby the Interna-
tional Sunshine Society of New
York will give care an educa-
ton to the blind children of
Arizona. The headquarters of
the international society are in
New York, though it has branch
es in various parts of the coun-
try. 1t is one of the largest
benevolent societies in the U. S.
The charge of the state will be
just the cost of actual mainten-
ance. There is no school for
blind children in Arizona. The
international society will take
them regardless of age.

The Farmers Wife

Here is a deserved tribute to
the farmers wife from some
body who knows what he is
writing about:
The farmers wife knows more
about her husbands business
than any other mans wife knows
about his. Sne has a fairer,
clearer and more helpful under
standing of it than the average
lawyers, DOCTORS or merchants
wife can possibly have about
her husbands business, for she
lives and works with her hus-
band on their ''plant. The
farmers wife is the farmers
partner in more senses than one.
In the majority of cases she
actually operates certain depart
ments of the business. With
this greater opportunity for
helpfulness than her city sisters,
her responsibilities have increas-
ed proportionately. All honor
and respect to her who carries
this heavier burden. Farm and

Kicking On The War Tax

There 10 . lot Of grumbling and
kicking these days over the imposi-
ton of war tax that went into effect
December lst- And the Democratic
party Is being blamed for an unfair
and unjust burden.
Didn't this particular view point Of
the matter ever strike you? Suppose
that We had been living as we were
three or four years ago under . high
tariff regime, depending to q very
great extent on our import revenues
for money to run the government.
And then suppose this war In Europe
happened to come along, and those
import revenues would have largely
ceased and there would have been no
income tax, nor none of the other
measures which have been provided
by the Democrats to take care of
such decreasing revenue. What
would we have done in that instance?
Isn't dead sure thing that We would
have been In chaos and that the war
revenue tax that We are now paying
would have been necessary, only to =
much heavier degree?
And further, you citizen who is
kicking on the slight burden, isn't it
far better to be paying the compara-
lively light direct tax than to have
to bond the United States govern
ment?
And still again, compare your slight
burden to the enormous burdens that
the rulers Of Europe have saddled
onto the their subjects. Every man
in the old country, every boy and
girl just budding into full growth.
every child that 10 prsttling about its
mothers knee today, yes, and gen.
erations yet to zee the light Of day,
will be bearing far greater burdens
for ages to come. While, 1t the worst,
our slight burdens will cease in few
years, or even In . few months, pos
sibly.-Rawlins, Wyoming Journal.
