There is existing in this city q
secret organization composed of
eight young ladies. The name of
which and doings are unobtain-
able but the fact that they met
Monday evening somewhere with

the fact that they are very much
in existence. This organization
was organized last year and no
doubt it will meet every week dur
ing this winter.

The U. S. Steel corporation is
now selling a very large amount
of its product aboard at higher
prices than it is realizing at home
It this more or less wicked than
selling its product abroad at low
err prices than it gets at home?
The employees of the corporation
were not receiving any less wages
in the former case than now,
and i'm both cases the ability to
market the corporations product
abroad has given employment to
American labor.

strive to make it better town.
Don't think that you must be a
good fellow and spend it as fast
as you make it, if you do that
you will wake up some day and
find that you have nothing left to
spend, THAT you may never hope
to become rich, and that your
whilom friends have ceased to
think Of you even as a fellow.

The event which for several
weeks has been awaited, talked OF
or dreaded, occurred Tuesday,

new principal took possession Of
the assembly, and in her opening
talk showed us clearly that hon
OF and good behavior will be ex-

There are four new members
in our faculty. Miss Van Boskirk's

SEES pleasant we feel sure. She is
brimful of amusing and instruct

proof, we think she takes the
lead in discipline.
Miss Hull is our Science teach
er, and all who are in her classes
say the periods are most inter-
esting.
For twenty minutes a day Miss
Sheen leads us in singing, and we
look forward to good music.
Miss Claxton, history and Ger
man teacher, Mr.. Austford the
manuel training teacher and Miss

Who Pays the Saloon Tax ?

Current Thought, leading liquor journal, says:
The brewers and dstillers should be classed clear
ing houses receivers of taxes for Uncle Sam. He
compels the taxpayer to be taxpayer.
This statement goes right to the heart OF the
whole license question. The liquor dealers talk as
though they collected the liquor license money from
some outside the city and though the city
would be just that much poorer if the saloons
voted This is the fatal faacy in their whole
argument. A moments thought will convince
anyone that the saloon is paid by the saloons
all but by their patrons.
And who constitute these patrons? Unquestion-
ably majority OF them merchants, carpenters,
teamsters, day aborers and other worknen-the men
upon whom the city chiefly depends for the produc
ton of its weath-the very who can least afford
to pay And these with few exceptions
citizens Of the town. it is evident that the city
doesn't gain anything after all. The saloon merely
succeeds in shifting the burden from those most able
those least able to bear it.
This whole liquor argument therefore, resolves
itself into question of the distribution of the burden
of taxation Shall the license money collected
from the saloons continue be paid by their patrons
alone shall it be paid by all the peope This is the
real vital question at ISSUE and IN every local option
contest confronted with the ludicrous situa'
ton of these patrons arguing gnoranty against
their interest to retain the tax and to pay it all
themselves. The only people who could possibly gain
anything by the saloon license money those who
do not drink and who therefore pay none of it. They
alone could consistently this argument and yet
they never do, because they know there is nothing
in it.
The truth is this tax argument invented by
the liquor people as blind. They for license,
not because they fond of paying taxes even OF
collecting them but because and above the taxes,
they are sure to collect handsome profit for them
selves

AMERICAS MINERAL
 PRODUCTS

The mineral products ot the United States are dis cussed in a small volume now being distributed by the United States Geological Sur vey, which contains a fund of useful information concern ing the useful minerals and their values and production in all the states during 1912 and 1913. The figures given in some of the tables are so stupendous as to be beyond comprehension. In one ta- ble are given the figures for mineral production from 1880 to 1913, the metals being val ued at $185, 100000 in 1880, and increasing to $883, ,OOO,OO in 1913.
 The non-metallic minerals increased from $173,O0O, 1000, in 1880, to $1,562, 100000. in 1913. This total for 1913 was an increase over 1912 of more than $2OO,OOO,OOO. The value of the metals imported for consumption in 1913 was $237, ,OO0, 1000, and of those ex- ported, $319,ooO,OOO. The value of the total mineral pro- | duction from 1880 to 1913, in elusive, was $35, 197, 100000

AMERICAN HORSES

According to recent Con- merce reports, the worlds stock of horses is 1OO,OOO,OOO, of which Russia has 25,OOO,- 900, and the United States has over 24,OOO,O0O. Exports from this country during the four months, September to December, 1914, totaled 75,- 900 horses. It has been fear ed by some that there would be such large numbers ex- ported to the warning Euro pean countries as to cause an acute shortage of horses in the United States. The De- partment of Agriculture, how ever sees no immediate dan ger of this, and says that we could sell two or three times the number already exported without there being an appTe

THE JITNEY BY ARTHUR BROOKS BAKER

The jitney is a humble coin or nickel and alloy, quite admirably fitted to the uses of a boy. It buys a sack of goo bers from the gay Italian gent; it gets a fellow past the guy who guards the movie tent. Not very many years ago the jitney was so small that men of dignity refused to notice it at all.
 And then came an era of magicians, who. like Yates, could hammer with the iitney on the tallest social gates; the little coin was gathered by our thrifty telephones, for twenty thousand jitneys constitute a thousand bones; and then the loWly thing achieved the sacred realm of art-the great and thrilling movie show had won the pub lie heart.
 Today Get all the poets tune their celebrative chimesD the hOliest tradi ton of our mighty modern times is broken by the jitney; for the taXicabbir cinch, whose cheerful transportation rate was thirty cents an inch, is hum bled and is tumbled by the jolly jitney bus. while common folks throw IF their hats and make a merry fuss.

question will be met at the next session of Congress. Heretofore senators have been privileged to talk as long as their powers of human en- durance would sustain them. The theory has prevailed that the senate is a deliberative body and should not be re- strained in the full cOnSidera- tion of all matters of legiSla- tion. A great many of the senators have felt that this principle has been so abused by reason of filibustering methods and the like, that it is high time that some re- straint should be placed upon the indiScriminate use of de-
 bates, the object of which is
 to defeat legislation that is
 greatly desired either by the
 administration, Congress or
 the country.
 No Hickory Switches Needed

horses. Those which have been shipped are mediocre animals, which ordinarily sell for less than $1OO, and are ot a class which we can well at- ford to be rid.
 The big demand for horses will probably occur after peace has been declared when they will be needed fo1 farming. The demands or this country, which has one. fourth of the worlds supply Iof horses, will be large, ans will probably continue for { number of years.

A modern education is on roller-bearing wheels; it hardly gives a fellow time for slumber or for meals. The learning good for yesterday is out of date today; the vital facts we gather now will quickly fade away.

 Canned tomatoes, however, are put up principally for the export trade. The Italians themselves prefer their to- matoes in the form of a sauce or paste, which is nothing more or less than boiled down tomato pulp, minus the skins and seeds, as set forth in an interesting manner in a report by Commercial Agent II. Alexis Shriver entitled Teamed Tomato Industry in Italy" recently issued by the Bureau of Foreign and Do mestic Commerce. This sauce is put Up in cans and is used by the Italians in a very great variety of dishes, o! which spaghetti is perhaps the most familiar to Ameri- cans.
 According to fairly accur- ate statistics the area planted lin tomatoes in Italy is about I22,OOO acres, producing about 385,OOO tons. The exports tC the United States amount tC about 2O,OOO,00O pounds O canned tomatoes and tomato sauce, and some 8,000,00( pounds of the product go tC South America. The tota value of the tomato eXportt from Italy is well over $5, iO00,O0O.
 The skins and seeds tha were formerly wasted are nov
 utilized, the former as stoc'
 feed and the latter as a sOurct
 of oil. The crude oil is suita ble for soap-making and fo
 lamps and the refined oil i , said to be edible.
