is pretty well informed by this time
as to what South Bend and vicinity
is expecting Of him. His influence is
urged 10 operate IN favor OF the
original course. South Bend is the
logical point at which the two great
highways should connect. Chicago
would have nothing TO gain by the
change OF route. We would have con-
siderable To lose.
Important to this city is the splen-
did line Of road that with the Dixie
highway built. would extend out from
here to indianapolis. The Dixie
highway is calculated TO connect the
great south with the Lincoln highway
which traverses the country east and
west. The other end Of the road is
set for Miami Florida. South Bend
cannot afford 10 sit idle and let this
opportunity to capture the northern
terminal to pass. and the action taken,
it is hoped. will have the desired effect.

MIGHTY THINGS IN MENIEL

The reported capture Of Memel by
Russian troops would seem of far
more Importance than the meager
press dispatches would indicate.
Even if they have been repulsed
their proximity TO Mcneil and the evil
dent fact that it may be captured
again when Russia desires, is note
worthy
Memel is an important city of 25,-
600. principal seaport of North Prus-
STA and fortified at that 1t has a
large harbor and its exports are very
important, coming principally from
Russia and Lithuania. 1t is but few
miles from the Russian border and has
rail connections with interior Russia.
Ii has sawmills, iron found-ies and
ship building yards.
The possession of Memel with its
fortifcations would give Russia con-
troll of a magnificent harbor, land
locked. nearly FIVE hundred miles
nearer the marts of commerce than
Petrograd. 1t would afford a haven
and a base of supplies for Russia
fleets in easy striking distance of
Konigsberg.
Should the allies fleets fail to open
the DardaneIles. Russia by using a
force sufficient TO hold Memel. a mar
row strip of German territory. and

WORKING ONES WAY THROUGH
COLLEGE

Although the expenses of sending a
boy or girl through college are stead
lily increasing, yet the number who
work their own way through seems to
be gaining as fast or faster.
1t is one Of the fine things about
college life, that students who are
working their own way seem to stand
we'll socially. They may not get as
many invitations, simply because they
are carrying papers or driving grocery
wagons at times when their classmates
are hanging around the society rooms
making friends. But no stigma at
taches to work. Social lines may d.
But young people are more generous
than grown ups, and are not apt TO
draw arbitrary lines Of distinction.
Young people who work their own
way get quite as much out of college
as anyone else. They may not ac-
quire quite as much Of the social
polish that comes from tea-tables and
chapter houses. But they are living a
life of earnest effort, which always
brings reward.
The average college boy. financed
by a generous father. can hardly be
said to live a life of earnest effort.
He drills along in the regular goose
step, and can pass his marks without
any strenuous exertion. He does put
earnest effort into his athletics, which
has it's value. But whether running at
top speed TO reach first base helps a
boy tackle the hard drudgery of sup
porting a family later on. is an open
question.
1t would seem as if the person who
has; worked his way through college
were entitled. not merely to whatever
honors he may win on his scholastic
standing. but to some special mark of
distinction Certainly his achieve
ment is infinitely greater than that Of
the student who has simply used the
tools which parents have bought and
paid for.

One of the most famous lines of
English verse runs:-
THE plowman homeward plods his
weary way"
This was written before the days
Of sulky plows. automobile plows,
gasoline plows, and other labor saving
inventions for opening up the earth
in the spring time.
When the poet wrote those lines,
the word "plowman" associated itself
with the most laborious and toilsome
task in farm life
So it has continued until recent
years, and is still wherever farming is
done on small scale.
Holding a pair of pillow handles.
while horses or oxen jerk man from
clod to clod, hitting rocks, stumps,
and roots in many kinds of soil, is the
most fatiguing task in the agricul-
tural calendar. II is no wonder that
the unemployed Of the cities fight shy
of farm jobs wherever they mean this
kind of work, at which moreover they
couldn't earn half their board.
Today on the big farms the plow-
man sits in his sulky seat and lets the
motor do the work Riding over the
yielding and lumpy soil for a whole
day may not be quite so easy as IT
seems to the man leaning over the
fence. But at least the labor of the
old time process has been vastly re-
duCad

April End, 1915.
State Tax Commission,
Indianapolis, Ind:
find the assessors of St. Joseph
county are instructed to assess pure
bred cattle and grade cattle on the
following basis, TO wit:
Grade cows, three years and over,
$50; purebred, $3.50
Grade heifers two years and over,
S25; purebred, $1OO.
Grade heifers one year and over,
SO; purebred, $40.
l am informed by the county asses
sor that these rates are established by
your board. AS these priceg~are from
400 per cent to 466 30 per cent on
pureored over grade stock, l, as presi-
dent OF our St Joseph County Pure
bred Cattle Breeders association, and
as large breeder of registered cattle,
protest that, as a paper pedigree is
entirely worthless to nine men out of
10, and in the best conducted herds
rarely adds over 80 per cent TO the
value of the entire herd, that this is at
most the amount that should be add
ed to the assessment of a purebred
over q grade herd. As in my own
nerd, grades are assessed on a basis
of 90 per cent Of the cash value, the
purebred should be on the same basis.
This would be assessing q purebred
herd at cash value Of 500 per head.
and grades at cash value of &c 2-3
per head, which is about fair yalua-
ton.
This is not taking into consideration
the fact which is of public interest,
that breeders of stock whose blood
will add even so per cent 10 the value
OF the scrub stock of the state, should
be favored instead of penalized.
While your assessors take most
property at 80 per cent of cash value.
and none over 5 per cent your assess
ing value of purebred cattle of $3.50
per head, is on a cash basis of an
entire aged herd of $500 per head. |
would be very glad TO get a cash buyer
for my herd at considerably less than
One-half this price. 1 consider your
instructions to assessors COR purebred
cattle sets a price at least 300 per
cent too high. 1t should be $50 in
stead of $3.50. As the modern physi-
sian prevents disease. so your board
should prevent litigation. 1t is much
cheaper for all concerned than costly
litigation after the wrong is inflicted
Personally, can assure you that if
this assessment stands, Indiana will
lose one of the finest. and one of the
largest purebred Galloway herds in
the United States, as my herd will be
shipped to Missouri where, fortunate
ly, I own lands. and where the people
appreciate good blood. and where
their assessors use some cattle sense
in their treatment of cattle men. A
pretty common herd of scrubs will
occupy the fields west of South Bend
next year, where my herd has secured
favorable comment, even from United
States officials.
Yours very truly,
