PROFITABLE SHEEP FARM ING IN PULASKI
 COUNTY.

w. G. McKinzie, Cabot, R. F. D. No. 2, began to raise sheep about ten years ago, starting with a few common ewes. These ewes were worth about one dol lar per head. By introducing pure bred rams, MT. McKinzie has improved his flock until all his sheep are worth from five to six dollars each. He first intro duced a pure bred Shropshire ram, and on this cross he used a pure bred Ramboulett ram. The result is large mutton and good wool-bearing sheep.
 Although only in a small way, yet MT. McKinzie has proven that by proper management the sheep industry can be made very profitable here. On January L, 1915, he had 2S head, worth $5 per head. One hundred and for ty dollars of this, together with the cost of feed, labor in taking care of, pasture, rent of build ings, and taxes, made his total investment S193.25. On Janu- ary 1, 1916, he had 29 sheep at $5 per head, $145, and had sold during the year 150 pounds of wool at 25 cents per pound, $37.50, and 21 lambs at an av-

GALLOWAY GLEANINGS.

Dear PulaSklan:
 The wet weather is retarding farming operations to some eX- tent, but great preparedness is going on, so when the sun does come out and dries up the land there will be clear sailing.
 We had Bishop Winchester to hold services for us on Sunday, and we felt spiritually refresh ed. Mrs. Steele's Bible class was unusually largely attended. The subject was ''The Out pouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost." Mrs. Steele is an able teacher. Mrs. Street the Bible class teacher at the Y. w. c. A, gave us a soul stirring talk on the first Sunday of the month. We hope to have her often. The bishop will preach for us the third Sunday of each month during the year.

 We may be a little late with our items this week, owing to the fact that we "slept day." thinking all the while this was Monday. However, we hope this will reach the paper before it goes to press, and will try to be more prompt next time.
 Mt. Carmel school is progress ing nicely. The seventh grade class is doing splendid work. Work and win' is their motto. Work on, boys and girls. Your efforts shall be rewarded, for the diplomas are coming in due time. We think we will be able to turn out a league ball pitcher by the end of the term, for our little Henry Morehead declares he can stand in the pitchers box and send a ball over the plate, and nine times out of ten never hit the batter. We have some extra good dodgers while batting.
 We are glad to have Leona and Sam Hubbard of the Grav- el Ridge school with us for the rest of the term.

Frances Hodgson Burnett's charming

dainty star, Marguerite Clark, attains

The role is one in which every re-

and she takes the fullest advantage
of her many emotional opportunities.
AS the tiny, exquisite Spanish girl of
a thousand moods and whims, who
has vowed never to lose her heart.
but who, when finally conquered by
the handsome Sebastiano, loves truly
and devotedly, Miss Clark is utterly
incompatible, and denotes exceeding
ly well the struggle in the girls heart
to maintain a naughty demeanor to-
ward the man she has learned to
adore, while longing to yield to the
impulses of her love. With her fas-
cinating dark beauty and charming
grace of form and motion, Miss Clark
is exceptionally adapted TO the role

LOSE COMBINATION
FORMER COUNTY AUDITOR. Wis
TING HERE, RECALLS WRIT
ING DOWN NUMBERS.

When County Auditor NJ. ID. Nc
Gillivray and his assistant arrived at
their office IN the county courthouse
last Saturday morning. they found
the door of the big vault so securely
locked that neither was able 10 open
il, and no one at the courthouse knew
the combination or could recall
where a copy of the numbers could
be obtained.
1t appeared at first that a lock eX-
pert from out of the city would have
TO be summoned. Some II remem-
bered, however. that Milo Drake, new
Of St. Hilaire, Mimi. and formerly
county auditor here, had recently
been visiting his parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Drake, in Madison. 1T
was hoped he would be able TO rem
der assistance. Inquiries at the w.
A. Drake home elected the informa-
ton that the former county auditor
was in the country near here, and
might be expected to return 10 the
city at any time. He arrived yester-
day, and at once got into touch with
the county auditors office.
Mr.. Drake did not remember the
combination, but he did recall having
written the numbers, when he was
auditor years ago, on the wooden bot
tom OF a drawer in a desk in the Of
flee. An Investigation revealed that
the numbers were not in any of The
desks OF the auditors department.
Rapidly diminishing hopes We're
revived when it was suggested hal a
desk some time ago had been moved
from the auditors office into the Of
flee of County Register Oscar Olson.
A raid on the registers office was in
order. and a plainly decipherable
copy of the combination was found in
the bottom of a drawer in the desk
removed from the auditors office.

BETTER TAXATION
STATE COMMISSIONER ASKS
THAT ALL READ Up ON
AMENDMENT.

That there will be little opposition
to the proposed amendment to Article
ii of the constitution on revenue and
finance from voters who have taken
the time TO look into the merits of
the proposed change, is the opinion
of Hugh Smith, of Howard, member
of the state tax commission, who is
in the city today,
That the amendment is not a
scheme to raise more taxes. but a
plan TO distribute the burden
evenly. Mr.. Smith said he did not
think any person who had considered
the matter would question.
The law now reads that all taxes
on all property shall be uniform, and
il is intended to change it so that
taxes shall be uniform on all property
Of the same class. In other words, lit
is desired to place moneys and credits
i'm a class by themselves, as has been
done in Minnesota and elsewhere. 1t
is said precedent has shown that
where moneys and credits are includ-
ed in the general class. the owners
rarely volunteer information that
will help i'm arriving at the amount
they should be assessed. Where the
tax would be 20 mills or more on the.
dollar, many holders of considerable
sums of money would withdraw their
cash from circulation rather than
permit 1t to remain at interest, espe-
cially where the tax they would be
required TO pay would amount to q
healthy share OF the interest they
would receive from banks or Dor
rowers. Members of the state tax
commission believe hal if moneys
and credits were placed in a separate
class, and assessed say at 3 mills on
the dollar. as is tone i'm Minnesota.
the state would benefit I'm the aggre-
gate collected.
Under a law such as now exists in
South Dakota, 5000 persons in Min
nesota in 1910, We're assessed for
moneys and credits. On the follow
ing year. under the new classified
ton. Al, 600 people were assessed for
moneys and credits. Increased reve-
nue. received from that class of prop
erty now is sc per cent greater than
il was in 1910.
