FIRST AID TO THE INJURED.

IT T is a wise mother who tucks into
 the vacation trunk one of the complete little kits to be used in case of accident. Sprains. bruises, bee stings, even serious cut may be treated successfully in camp with the aid of a first-aid- d-to-the-injured kit: and som etimes one of these affairs will save serious trouble between the time of an accident and the delayed arrival of country doctor. A good first aid case, containing rolls of gauge band ages, lint plaster, antiseptic solutions. etc costs from $1 to $5. No vacation trunk should be without something of this sort for use in an emergency.

PINE CONES ON HER PARAsOL.

PINE CONES ON HEX PARASOL. E AND painted parasols are a fad
 of the summer. and the woman " who can do dainty flower de- signs with water-colors may purchase an inexpensive sunshade and turn it into an exclusive affair that will look very eXpensive-if the painting is cleverly done. Not too naturalistic an effect should be aimed at, the painted designs are suggestive of Jap anese effects, with well composed masses and very simple light and shade. A charming parasol or white taffeta has a border of sage green ribbon shirred on two cords at the edge and straying across the cover are feathery pine cones in cool tints of gray green, a touch of warm brown in the cones themselves. With a frock of green linen this parasol is delight full.

.CORNWELL'S TAX
TALK ALL WRONG
Facts and Figures Pulled on
Him Show He Failed to
Tell Whole Story.

FAYETTEVILLE, October 12.-
Cornwell. 1t is noticed in this county.
has written in his Hampshire Review,
that he did not ignore state issues
in his tour of Fayctte county, 'Ybut
among other things gave Fayette clti-
zens figures showing they paid in d.
rect state taxes only $3,327.55 in
1912, while in 1915 they paid $52,-
1880, an increase of S49.387.25 in
three years. the cost of Hatfeldlsm
for a single season."
Here in Fayette county the people
are glad to note this explanation OF
Cornwell, who might have gone a
little farther in this same argument
and used some new figures at hand
right now for the year 1916, habit
Cornwell is not addicted to, not only
In Fayette county, but In any other
county OF the state.
Had COrnwell told the whole truth
he would have shown that in Fayette
county, II the Republican admins
tration had reverted to tho rate OF
the last Democratic administration in
1896. the average citizen OF Fayette
would be paying thirty-fve cents on
the 800 assessed valuation instead
OF nine as at present. or fourteen as
in 1915. or an average of 81 for
every man, woman and child in Fay
cite county.
More than this. the Republican ad-
minlstration in 1916 turns back to
Fayette county the very handsome
sum of S14O,13O.9O. nearly three
times the amount OF the sum Corn
well complains about as direct taxes
for this county in 1915. Where does
this money come from? Cornwell
knows as every Democrat in the state
knows, that it comes from the more
just distribution of taxation which
the Republicans adopted as the sys-
stem which Cornwell tried to defeat
in 1904, and which defeated him
then as his harangues against it are
defeating him now. Under the last
Democratic administration in this
state the public service corporations,
such as telegraph and telephone com
panies, railroads, pipe lines. etc, paid
into the state treasury OF West Vir-
ginia the insignificant sum OF s52,-
058.0S. whereas in 1916 they paid
to the state, Fayette county included,
$436,S5O.25 on the fourteen cent levy
alone, while in 1916 the Republican
administration also collected $16,-
259.53, in the secretary Of states Of
flee which was paid over to the state
treasury, $12,32O for the examination
of banks, likewise paid over, license
tax on charters. sS27.455.72, or near
ly eight times what the last Demo-
cratic administration collected, spe-
cial taxes of $234,91S.O8 as com
pared to nothing collected under
Democratic administration, and so on
and though Democrats formerly
collected many OF these fees the sec

William +. Chiffon was one. and the
state auditor, instead of paying the
fees to the state. put them into their
pockets!
These are the facts which Cornwell
cannot deny truthfully. The addi-
tional taxes collected for Fayette
county have built schools. provided

The National View

Submarine Sensation.-New York
as all agog today over the exploits
of certain German submarines which
have sunk four British. one Nor
wegian and one Dutch steamer off
Nantucket. In each instance warn
ing was given and passengers and
crews were permitted to take to the
boats before their ships were sunk
and, SO far as known, all we're sub
sequently rescued by revenue cutters
and other vessels. Visions OF what
might amount to a blockade OF Amer
lean ports by trans-oceanic subma-
rines are giving the horrors to all
who are in any way connected with
the export trade, and as the present
prosperity is entirely dependent on
such trade, practically everyone may
be said to be so connected. That a
continuance OF this sort OF Interior
ence with vessels sailing to and from
American ports will come very near
to causing panic is freely predicted
in financial circles. The president,
who is at his summer home at Long
Branch, almost within sight OF the
scene Of the the submersible cam
paign, is described as greatly wor-
rted over the situation.
