Lightning Causes Loss

Washington Times:-Andrew
Thompson had the misfortune to
loose his barn by lightning IN the
storm early Saturday morning.
Fortunately Mr. Thompson was
awakened by the crash that follow
ed the stroke and discovered the fire
Immediately and by quick work on
the part of himself and the bows
managed to liberate the sixteen
head of horses which we're in the
barn at the time. getting the last
n out just in time. The barn had
just been filled with hay and this
together with most Of the harness
and other stuff which is usually
found in a farm barn was burned.
Mr. Thompson carried a small
amount of insurance, but not near
ly enough to cover the loss. How
ever, he counts himself exceptionally
lucky in having saved the horses.
The granary was only a short dis
lance from the barn, but the wind
was favorable to prevent the flames
from reaching that. The COW barn
was also set on fire, but they suc-
ceeded in putting that out before
any damage had been done. Dur
ing the same storm the chimney on
the Splcer home north of town was
struck and badly demolished and
some clothing in a closet badly
scorched. The electricity played
some exceedingly queer freaks in
this case. Out at the Simon Cob
ring home southwest some stock
was killed.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Many weeks
in advance, the preparations are made
for the international tours of Santa
Claus. Americans who are planning
to send Christmas presents to per-
sons in foreign countries want TO be
sure that those who receive the gifts
will not be compelled to pay any
charges. Many letters come annual.
" to Washington, asking what to do
to avoid any difficulties. The com.
municatioRs have already begun to ar
rive, and are being answered by the
bureau of foreign and domestic com
merce, department of commerce.
The writer's of these letters which,
before the end Of the year, will have
come from every part Of the country,
are particularly interested in tariff
rates which must be paid on gifts in
the lands to which they are sent.
Many express regret that there should
be such thing as a foreign tariff in
the season of generous giving. Some
indicate that they think the charges
are really omitted. They believe that
during the holidays the barriers are
torn down.
The truth, however, must be told in
replying to these inquiries and the blu.
reau is compelled to inform its CORE.
spondents that whatever the customs
tax is in any foreign land on any
class of presents, that tax is collected
in every season.
Fail to Name Gifts.
Many persons who write to Wash
ington, asking for tariff rates in par
ticular countries, fail to specify the
kinds of articles that are to be sent
abroad as Christmas gifts. II is quite
necessary that such details should be
given In order to learn the amount OF
the tax. The bureau cannot send out
an entire tariff schedule in answer
to each letter and even If 1t did, very

had tremendous difficulties with the
soldiers drafted from the new Serbian
provinces. who are mostly Bulgarians
and Mohammedans. Although these
men were serving with soldiers from
old Serbian districts. they deserted In
large numbers. The Bulgarians re
quested to serve in the Bulgarian
army and the Mohammedans wished
to join the Turkish troops. in order
to fight against their oppressors.
Through the desperate resistance OF
the old Serbian elements the Serbian

By reason of his past achievements
and well-earned renown, the words OF
Thomas Edison, chairman of the Gen.
eral Science Board, are those of one
speaking with authority. When he de-
clares for largely increased arsenals,
located at places not easily accessible
to an enemy; for machinery of vast
capacity, and a supply of raw materi
ais on hand with which to work, he
unquestionably voices sentiment APP
proved by the great majority. ALI
these provisions should be made, and
promptly, and great deal more. He
says we are a nation of machinists
and hopes to find our defense In ma
chimes instead of men.
But can we? The present war has
had at it's service all the known means
of combat Of former wars, as well as
aeroplanes, wireless, electric lights,
motor cars, submarines telephones,

many mechanical devices employed
in any war and never were so many
men required to work them; never

few persons would know what to do
with it after they received the docu-
ment
The first OF the 1915 letters arrived
on November IL and was addressed
to the treasury department. The
writer asked for the rate on Christ
mas gifts" to Canada, and the bureau
Of foreign and domestic commerce, to
which the matter was forwarded, was
unable to reply until it was known
whether il was some mechanical toy
for child. a diamond stick pin for
an absent friend, or a warm garment
for some deserving person that was
to be sent across the national bound
airy. A large proportion of the letters
usually received have this same de-
feet. They are sent to various de-
partments in Washington every Christ
mas season. But all come eventually
to the bureau which has the desired
information.
Express Agents Can Pay.
Many persons in the past have ask
ed what method should be adopted in
order that the tariff charge might be
paid at the point of shipment in this
country, by the giyer of the gift. All
such queries have been answered uni
formly with the statement that there
is no direct way in which the i'm
port duty charged by another country
can be paid here, but If the package
is placed in the charge of an express
company, provisions can be made for
payment of duty by the express agent
abroad
Although there is no exemption from
custom house charges for Christmas
gifts there are some conditions under
which certain gifts going from coun-
try to country may escape payment.
Some governments rule that wedding
presents brought in by subjects shall
not be taxed. Some also exempt pos.
sessions that are part of an inherit.
ance But the season of universal
giving is not on the tariff calendar as
one when the pathways between the
nations shall be cleared of obstruc
tions.
