MR. M,ApoO FAcEs ABoUT.
nm the pittsbnrgh Ledger.

From the Pittsburgh Ledger.
Had Secretary NlcAdoo and his ad-
ministration friends done the right thing
they would originally have taxed small
ms well as large incomes. They would
have had the government collect this
tax instead of forcing Others to collect
it at very great expense without com
pensation. The obvious reason Mr. Nc
Adoo's influence was thrown against
taxing small incomes two years ago
was the effect such tax would have eN-
erted politically. But now people have
potten used TO an income tax. they feel
that one is necessary, and they also
feel that the minimum limit should be
lowered. Hence this official change OF
front
An income tax to be truly American
and entirely fair should begin with in
comes which are self-supporting. Fol
smaller incomes the rate should be low
but no man should be entirely exempt

SATURDAYS HALF INCH OF
MOISTURE GREENS THINGS UP

Dickinson county got in on the
small end of heavy precipitation
which fell in the eastern part of
the state Saturday but the half
inch of moisture that was received
here will prove beneficial. Wheat
will be greatly helped and the oats
which are sowed will be given a
good start.
With the temperature below freez-
ing there were grave fears for the
safety of the fruit but it is thought
that the coating of ice protected the
tender buds from any injury. Those
examined since show no signs of a
freeze.
The wheat is greening up nicely
and with the moisture of Saturday
spring should be very much in evi-
dence in a few days.

DEATH IN FOREST FIRE
Former Abilene Business Man Burn.
ed in Blaze in Missouri

! An article in the West Plains, Mo-,
Quill tells of q horrible death suf-
fered by a former resident of this
city Mr.. Pine was proprietor OF
what is now the Dederick meat mar
ket, for several months and is well
known here. He was a cousin of
Mrs. R. Waring. The story is as
follows:
L. Pine, an aged farmer who re-
sided just across South Fork river
ten miles south of West Plains, per-
ished in a forest fire which ragged
near his farm home. His body was
found by neighbors who were also
fighting the fire. Pine left his home
at 1 O'Clock telling his wife that he
was going to the orchard to exam
inc some peach buds. 1t is believed
that when he reached the orchard
he discovered the fire which was
burning near his fences and that
when he attempted to fight the
flames he was overcome by the
smoke. The fire had passed over the
place where the body lay, but the
leaves underneath the body were
not burned, so that the man evident
ly had fallen before the fire reached
him. All of the clothing was burned
from the body, except the shoes.
The unfortunate mans body was
found one-half mile from his home
and just outside the boundary fence
of his large farm. At that place con-
fence was burned. How
long the man had been dead could
not be ascertained. Neighbors who
also had discovered the fire and
were fighting to check it, had their
attention called to the body by a
dog belonging to one of the men.
The dog found the body, and run
ming to his master greatly alarmed,
refused to be pacified until his mas
ter accompanied him to where the
body lay. The verdict of the cor
oners jury was that the man came
to his death accidentally. Besides
MS wife he is survived by one son,
J. E. Pine, who resides in Omaha,
Neb. The fire in which Pine lost his
ife swent an area of ridge timber
covering about one thousand acres.

Anthrax bacilli were pronounced
the cause of Paul Loyds illness and
subsequent death yesterday after
noon at Christs hospital in Topeka,
where he was taken a week ago
for treatment. The hospital doctors,
in the start of the diagnosis of the
8-year-old boys illness, asked the
father whether or not he had been
playing with animals. The house
hold cat was the only animal that
Paul was known to have played
with and it was supposed that he
contracted the dreaded hoof and
mouth disease in that manner. Fur
ther chemical analysis of his blood
proved the advanced theory of his
affliction, all symptoms being
found. The specialists at the hospi-
tai were all agreed on this. Analy-
sis showed that four-fifths of the
many minute red corpuscles of the
blood had been consumed by the
bacilli.

BUILD COFFERDAM ON RIVER
Work to Prevent Loss of Road and
Land in High Water

A cofferdam is being constructed
by the farmers on the Smoky Hill
river three-fourths of mile, by road
southeast of the Baker bridge, where
where in a bend the river has been
encroaching upon the titled farm
land and the public road. For dis
tance of 200 rods, along the outside
of the bend, piIing is being driven,
a hog wire netting being constructed
and strongly REINFORCED. Between
this and the bank dogwood brush is
to be piled and weighted down.
George Edgemon is in charge of the
work and indications are that 1t
will prove effective and curtail a
huge loss for the county and farm
ers affected, for in every flood much
soil is carried away.
During the last high water the
road was entirely washed away and
C. o. Musser has donated land for q
new road and given 5000 toward
the necessary expense of $400. The
river at this place makes very
sharp turn and if the work was ne
elected in course of time it would
likely cut a new channel directly
east and leave Baker bridge high
and dry. A traction engine has been
rugged up as pile driver and the
work is progressing rapidly.

as to whether such a law will stand
