Bond Subscription About $4,000

The Liberty Loan subscription for
Stevens county was approximately
$4,000, tho it is impossible to give
exact figures because all Of the sub
scriptions were not sent to the chair
man, S. A. siverts, at the Citizens
Bank
The subscriptions reported by the
Morris banks and by Mr.. Siverts to-
tai S4S,76O. This includes the whole
county except the subscriptions sent
in by the Hancock banks, but it is
probable that their subscription will
carry the total over $4,000. This
is far below the Stevens county quota
of 100000, but is nevertheless good
considering the unfavorable time of
year for the raising of money in an
agricultural community.

COUNTY JUDGES REPLY
 TO "TAX PAYER''

A very interesting article appeared in yesterdays Daily News, over the name of "Tax Payer" We are glad to note the gentleman seems to be very much interested in the roads of our county. So much so, that he has even asked the Editor to explain why Hempstead and Clark counties can have better roads than Nevada coun- ty. Why Nevada county should be taxed to buy tractor and then not use 1t. He said he supposed the county judge could give some infor- nation along this line If he thought SO, why didn't he go to the county judge. and not be worrying the Editor.
 He may be a Tax Payer, but from the tone of his article, we think he is more liberal with his criticism than likely he is with his tax money. Some people are gifted in complaining about bad roads, censuring county judges and road overseers, but when the sheriff calls on them for a few dol lars taxes, they lay down their loy- atty CD and want to "cuss" every thing good, bad and indifferent. Tax Payer may be one of this type, we don't know-he did not reveal his name.
 We wish to say that Nevada county has never been taxed to buy tractor, and owns none It belongs strictly to Missouri Township. He seems to be alarmed at the fact that Hempstead and Clark counties have better roads than Nevada county. 1t is very cas- ily understood when we consider the taxable property of those counties Think of the advantage Hampstead county has in the way of railroads, town property, black land and river bottom farms Their revenue is very much in excess of ours, Give us the revenue of those counties and we will build roads too. Criticism is cheap, but it takes MONEY to build roads and run tractors If Mir. Tax Payer would criticise less pay more taxes and do more of the real work, per haps he would realize a big improve ment in the roads right away.
 If the Hon. Tax Payer intended to reflect on the past county judges, the road overseers, and myself thrown in, l resent it. No man of reason will attempt to say that We haven't made great improvement in our roads in the past ten or fifteen years. It's true, that the want of funds has greatly handicapped our work, but we expect to continue the best We can with the means available.
 As to building roads with the trac-

tor, we are of the opinion that tba process is rapid means of buildinc roads, but very expensive. when wa consider the cost of operation, the upkeep, etc. We are now having the tractor overhauled, and expect to operate it this summer. Tractors cannot be operated during the winter to any advantage. Perhaps Tax Payer wasn't aware of this fact. It will take funds to do this, and We would appreciate very highly nice little donation from the gentleman Would like for him to head the list, as he was the first to conceive the seriousness of conditions.
 Now, MT. Tax Payer, please don't worry the Editor about explaining these things, but come down and let's talk the matter over, and 1 am sure with your help, advice and MONEY, much good can be accomplished.

So it seems that "Dick" Davis was
not worth a quarter of million dol
lars after all, but only half of that.
Here you get fair notion of how
little year in and year out even the
most popular authors earn with their
pen, "Girard" writes In the Philadel-
phia Ledger. For quarter Of GEN.
fury Davis was certainly one of the
ten best known fiction writers In Amer
lea.
Some of his books had a wide cir
culation. Besides that, he had writ
ten plays and received large salaries
at various times for newspaper work.
Richard Harding, to be sure, was a
good spender, and lived rather hand
somely during those % years Of liter
airy activity.
Nevertheless, his estate of $4,000
stands like grim finger board direct
ing all youthful aspirants to seek. for
tune in another direction.
There are in the United States a
thousand publishers who last year
printed 10000 different books.
So far as the authors are concerned,
at least 300 were financial failures.
Indeed, not 300 new books paid their
writer's even fair wage.
One large publisher tells me that the
average writer of books does not earn
as much as a Philadelphia carpenter or
bricklayer.
A very well-known Pennsylvania
who recently wrote capital biography
told me just the other day that week
ly newspaper article which he writes
earns more for him in a year than
does his book.
