THE TAX-MAN WILL CATCH YOU
NOW.

The administration in Washing
ton is getting down to rather petit
business, when it comes into the
small communities, as well as the
big ones, to tax pool and billiard ia
bles and similar devices to exc out an
existence for the government. And
every place that seats as many as
$50 people, for amusement, must also
LAY it's tax to the national treasury,
in order that the politicians In con
gress may have pork" enough for
all their political constituents.
The tariff is tax, they used to cry
and so they gave us substantial free
trade. But have We thereby escaped
taxation? Has rot taxation been
made more petty and more drastic
every where and for every one. The
national government has invaded the
tax preserves of the states, counties
and municipalities; it leaves moth
ing for them to tax. And on top of it
all we have stamp tax SO that many
of the papers men use in business
Iare worthless unless the tribute of
the price of stamp is paid to the
treasury department in Washington.
Instead of getting rid of taxes We
low have taxes on everything and
everywhere. The national govern
ment watches your income and it
waits by your bedside for you to die,
and If you won't die and give the
government a lift, then it follows
you to your place of amusement and
exacts tax from you, or if you trav-
lei and you lie down in a sleeping car,
it taxes you there.
And in the meantime, it is only
the preferred foreigners who can
come to the United States and trade
without paying taxes. They have been
relieved of most of the tariff duties
which under republicans have al
ways been imposed to equalize the
conditions for the man at home, in
competing with the man abroad, who
does not pay taxes here, says the
Cedar Rapids Republican.

TRAINING SAIlESPEOPLE.
Clerks Should be Able to Talk Dis
criminateiy and Intelligenuy
About Their Goods.

Retail merchants complain about
the difficulty of getting competent
young people as store clerks Many
boys and girls take up store work
merely because they can't think of
anything else to do. They have no
special aptitude or liking for it, Boys
and girls with ambition seem more
inclined to enter other employments
The necessity of special education
for salespeople was discussed at the
recent New York convention of the
National Retail Dry Goods Assoca-
ton. One speaker told how she con-
ducts school for such training. She
teaches her girls to think and devel-
op judgment in regard to the merits
of goods. The girls are asked not

why do you think this will SELF"

, ANOTHER CALF CASE.
Costs Of Litigation Many Times
Greater Than Value of Object of
Suit.

Des Moines, Oct 9.-The au-
preme court has another calf case
to decide which may become as his
toric as the famous calf case of
Jones county, which was dragged
thru the Iowa courts for a number
OF years.
Peter Croghan and William UNI
plebaugh, of Harrison county, are
fighting over the ownership of red
calf valued at $26. The fight began
in 1912 and the calf has now devel-
oped into a cow and it may die Of
cid age before the two farmers claim
ing ownership quit quarreling over
it. The costs in the case SO far have
been $243.05, or nine times the val
ne of the calf. This does not include
attorney fees, which are probably
about $500.
the best of the fight. He won in the
lower court. He was awarded the
calf and the costs of the case were
assessed to Croghan, according to the
abstract filed in the high court.
The two farmers own adjoining
farms. A red calf was born in 1912.
Both men claimed it. They took the
case into court. Two juries In JUS
tice court disagreed. BY consent Of
both parties the action was trans
ferred to the district court where
Umplebaugh got the decision.
Croghan asked the court to grant
new trial on evidence secured lat
er. He claimed that the date on
check which was given in payment
for cattle. which was used as evil
dence in the original hearing, had
been changed from July / to July
Is. This Croghan claimed made it
appear that the calf belonged to
Umplebaugh. The district court re-
fused to grant a new trial. From this
decision Croghan appeals.

BIG GAIN TO IOWA
IN EGG INSPECTION
Shipments From This State Com
mand Highest Prices on
Chicago Market.
STOP 4 MISSOURI TRICK
SHIPPING INTO IOWA
Eggs Were Being Shipped to Iowa
and Rebilled as Iowa
Product.

During the summer while the
campaign against bad eggs was be-
ing waged in Iowa by the state
dairy and food department, be-
tween 100000 and 100000 dozen
eggs were confiscated and destroyed
according to the records of w. B.
Barney commissioner. AS the re-
suit of the watchfulness of the in
spectors, as many more dozen eggs
were kept from being thrown on the
market
I'VE have had excellent results
from the egg campaign" said Mr.
Barney. AS an example of what
has been accomplished, will cite
the experience of a Knoxville mer-
chant. When we began war on rot
ten eggs, the Knoxville merchant de-
clared We would ruin the merchants.
Owing to the large number of bad
eggs that merchant got in each case
OF eggs, he was paying about 5
cents a dozen for eggs.
I'VE went after the producers and
required them to candle the eggs
sold, so that grocers got good eggs
when they bought by the case. That
Knoxville merchant now is paying
Is cents dozen for eggs and he is
getting eggs which he can sell to the
consumer. Formerly he had to throw
away from half to three-quarters OF
each case.
/ I'VE found that the improvement
in Iowa eggs resulted in commission
houses OF Chicago and other large
cities Offering from $3.50 to $500 4
case more for Iowa eggs than they
paid for eggs from states surround
ing iowa This led to the growth OF
a practice Of shipping Missouri eggs
into Iowa and rebilling them to Chi
|cago as Iowa eggs. We put inspectors
on the track, and cooperation with
the federal officials, we have broken
up the system. Hereafter Missouri
eggs will go to outside points as
Missouri eggs, and not as Iowa pro-
duct.
The summer of 1916 was espe-
cially difficult with regard to keep
ing eggs, owing to the heat. It was
therefore necessary for our inspec-
tors to be unusually active in the egg
campaign"

AN IOWA CROP.

Here is perhaps the champion
crop story OF, the county this year and
possibly of the entire state. Thirty
acres OF Mitchell county soil, or rath-
er the product thereof, has brought
the man who titled it $1,000 That's
not bad for one years crop from
that size patch of ground, is it.?
Frank Sedlacek of st. Ansgar town
ship has sold his crop OF cabbage
from thirty acres for that amount
A wholesale man from Chicago was
out to see him few days ago and
brought the crop at that figure de-
livered on track at st. Ansgar. II
can easily be seen from these figures
that Mr. Sedlacek has made small
fortune from his labor in this little
tract OF ground this year. OF course
there are years when the crop would
not bring so much.
Truck gardening has become one
of the big items in Mitchell county
and the fields OF onions produce many
thousands OF dollars each year in
revenue to the tillers of the soil.
These always bring big price. but
we believe the figure at which Mr..
Sedlacek has just sold his cabbage
crop is the most profitable OF any
produced on similar plot of ground
