Mr.. Kyle was advised by the chemist
at the Virginia Military Institute. who
analysed IL not TO use IL in lamps. AS
1t has strong explosive in it.
The oil is drawn from the we'll NV

Samples may be seen at Mr.. Kylc's

Several have insinuatcd that the oil
came from lcaky barrels placed nearby
but an expert had the well pumped dry

talks TO the Industrial Editor as may
be seen below:
Few Of us stop to think how the
present war is TO be paid for Nobody
knows its cost, but everybody knows
II is a fabulous sum. There is talk
that the victor will demand an in
demnity Of $4,000. 600, 900. An incredi-
BILE sum: utterly beyond the magma
ton OF the ordinary mind. Say il is
more than twenty times the value of
the heart of New York City
How is this paid? BY government
bonds. Place the total cost of the
war at 100000, 100000 double the in
credible sum- the annual interest at
per cent is $1,000. 600 900, or So each

child in the warning countries Can
the rulers squeeze this much more cut
OF the industrious people The present
taxes in the United States. direct and
indirect. seen and unseen. known and
unknown, is about $50 per head per
annum. Soon be revolution If this
were paid directly, would there not?
But it is collected just the same and
industry foots the bill. To most peo-
pie this tax comes in the form of low
wages. a bank clerk gets. say $50 n
month, when he earns $50. He never
misses what he never receives. Hence
few of US realize that We are taxed
at all.
When the authorities want to raise
a ruction or a rumpus they go to the
bankers and say: We've got TO have
a fight our boys are spelling, our OFF,
