GIVE IT A FAIR TRIAL.


The last legislature created the OF
fee of Director of Farm Markets
whose duties are outlined as follows
"To cooperate with producers anc
consumers in devising and maintain
ing economical and efficient systems
of distribution, and to aid in whatever
way may be consistent or necessary in
accomplishing the reduction of waste
and expense incidental to marketing,
"To help improve country life and
to provide, as far as in his power,
equality of opportunity for the farm
ers of the state.
To ascertain, as far as possible,
what conditions make for the success
of the homeseeker and what condi-
tions make for his failure, and to use
all means within his power to remedy
such Of the conditions which make for
failure as are capable of remedy.
"Upon request, or of his own notion,
to investigate and obtain evidence in
any case where he has reason to be-
lieye that fraud has been practiced
upon or wrong done to a homeseeker
in the sale or transfer of real estate
sought for the establishment of farm
home. and shall, where criminal fraud
has been practiced upon, or wrongs
done TO a homeseeker in the transfer
of such real estate, apply to the prop
er district attorney TO prosecute the
wrongdoer in criminal action.
To investigate any advertisements
pertaining to colonization or settle
ment, and be empowered to warn
homeseekers against inaccurate or
misleading statements contained in
any literature sent out by promoters
or others.
To receive applications for farm
help and applications from laborers
desiring positions on farms, endeayor-
ing thereby to bring the job and the
man together, without expense to
either the employer or employee.
"To receive from owners descrip-
tions of farm property for sale and
maintain properly classified list Of
such property for the inspection cf
prospective buyers"
Governor Alexander appointed w.
G. Sholtz as the first director Of farm
markets. He appears TO be pretty
capable man and has gone on about
his business in spite Of many obsta-
Giles thrown in his way. There should
be earnest support given him instead
Of criticism. The intent Of the law is
good It should be given a fair trial
One Of the evils of our economic
system, as has been emphasized dur
ing the last eight or ten gears, has
been lack Of coordination between

SYSTEM Is WRONG.

The whole system of taxation is
wrong. Joshua Spoondrift had va
cant lot that raised a crop of weeds
every year. 1t got to be a sort of
general dumping ground for the
neighborhood. People used to write
letters to the newspapers saying that
Spoondrift's lot was menace to the
public health as we'll as blot on the
escutcheon of our beautiful city. He
paid a few dollars year taxes and
laughed merrily when people said his
lot was a public nuisance. Finally
he had a change of heart. He cleaned
all the junk off his lot and put up a
handsome residence on it. He graded
the place in fine shape and set out
flower beds and fused around until
he had the finest property in his end
of town. The assessor got wise to
what he was doing and determined to
punish him severely. When Spoon
drift found out how much taxes he
would have to pay he swooned away
and he's never smiled since.
Now, if there was any sense in tax
alton. the man who improves his prop
erty would be rewarded and the one
who lets it run to weeds would be
punished. It's such injustice as this
that makes a man wonder whether
George Washington crossed the Della
ware in vain.

Who looked beyond wide orchard
lanes of white,
To where a fellow held the laureleC

OF fame and name and fortune il

A kid who heard Life calling and

To catch the echo of far-marching

Where crimson fires of glory flashed
and burned
Along the borders of the swarming

Who looks across gray years with
weary eyes
Beyond the laurel and the olive Dough,
To roosevelt dreams beneath re-
membered skies;
To fields of golden harvest and the
glow
OF Gods lost sunshine waning to
the CLEAN
Of star-lit dusk back home, so long
ago,
1t only seems the phantom of a
dream.

Would give Lies motley fame
again to be
In orchard drifts where lost winds
wander through
And whisper signing from the bend

Who dreams at each gray dusk with

OF old--time honor and old-fashion-

And cries to God to lead him back

And leave him with the clean,

Y. M. C. A. ADVERSARY.

Last Friday night the fourth anniversary
of the Y. M. G. A. celebrated in fine style
and proved to be the most enjoyable in the
history of the organization.
While there was some Disappointment
over the absence of several of the speakers
who had promised to be present, the sub
stitution of Squire w. S. Vaughan, NJ L.
Anderson, Rev. A. S. Ulm, H. L. Scott and
others proved very satisfactory.
And the 'feast of wit and flow of SOUL
was thoroughly enjoyed.
Tae refreshments we're dainty and well
served and justice was done in plei ty to
this part of the programme.
The musical part of the programme was
one that gave much pleasure and all en-
joyed it.
DR.. w. J. Hewson had charge OF this
feuture and its success, outside OF the IN
dividual efforts, was largely due to him.

AND He SAID

The Bible seems to be wrong. 1t says
that day shall be day set apart to judge
the world. 1t will take more than one day
to judge Ducktown."
We do not know that John w. CLANCY
ever posed as a prophet or a philosopher,
but when he made the above statement he
said thing that can be substantiated by
others in Ducktown.
1t is a strong Indictment, but no stronger
than the facts in the case warrant. Men
who will repudiate their solemn obligations,
disregarding the oath they took in Friend
ship, Love and Truth, can blame nobody
but themselves if people question their
honesty in business transactions.

Little hope is held out by the navy de-
