AND
PATRIOTIC CEREMONY

Am impressive and patriotic cere-
mony was held ON the high school
grounds by the pupils from the high
and grade schools at nine o'clock
this morning.
Pref. Jessup Of the schools was
in charge, and the program consist
ed of speet hes by several of our rep
resentative men, singing of patriotic
songs by the pupils as well as those
Of older growth.
On the platform sat two of the
eight remaining veterans Of the Civil
war now left in the county, Preston
Holbroook and Sam Hickman. And
as the writer gazed upon these grz'
zled brows, bleaohed by the lapse Of
time, his thoughts reverted to the
days of their youth, when these now
aged veterans with majestic tread,
moved through the tumult of battle
Such patriotic airs as America, Col
umbia. and the Star Spangled Ban
ner, were sung by the children, un
der the tutorship of Miss Maude
Cortner their musical director, the
audience joining.
Judge VIM. Matthews made the
principal oration, and well did he
perform his part. His remarks were
such as would inspire patriotism ir
the most skeptioal as he related tt
the youth the true principles tina,
govern the most powerful nation Of
the earth. He admonished them thai
the present war was brought abou'
by the refusal of their national ban
ner to have the freedom Of the seas
as we'll as American subjects. His re
marks were frequently cheered.
But the most inspiring portion o
the ceremony was to see that bannei

HOW WAR REVENUE
WILL BE RAISED
Congressman Keating)

CONGRESSMAN keaung)
Washington, d. C.,-The magnitude
of the conflict in which this country
has decided to take part may be
judged by the fact that before the
House had passed the declaration Of
war, the War and Navy departments
called on congress for emergency ap-
propriations of three and one-half bill
lion dollars. That's equivalent to a
tax of thirty-tiye dollars ON every
man, woman and child in the nation.
OF course, it is only the beginning.
War, under modern conditions, is
So expensive that the figures paralyze
the Imagination.
President Wilson has very wisely
suggested that the burden should not
be shifted to posterity, but that this
generation should bear it's share.
Wealth to be Taxed.
Therefore, we may have "pay-as'
you-go" war, or something very like
it, OF course, some bonds will be
issued, but the income and inherit
ance taxes will be enormously in
creased. 1t is suggested that the tax
on incomes of 100000 or more
should be not less than fifty per cent
and probably seventy-five per cent
Small incomes will also be hit. The
present exemptions of $4,000 for mar
ried men and $4,000 for single men
will probably be reduced to $4,000
and $500.
in favcr of the government regulat-
ing the sale of food stuffs so as to
prevent greedy interests making
heartless profits out of the necessi-
ties of the. people. Incidentally, the
system would be designed to con-
serve the nations food supply and
prevent waste. This war may be won
by General Starvation. Just now he
is menacing all the belligerents.
The army and navy contractors are
also to receive some attention. In
the wars of the past these gentlemen
have piled up fortunes by charging
exortitant prices for everything need
ed by the government. The presi.
dent and his lieutenants have already
made it clear that contractors must
be satisfied with reasonable returns
or the government will take over
their places and operate them.
And there will he no "embalmed-
beef" scandals in this war. Not II
they can be prevented. The contrac-
tor who attempts to palm off impure
or defective supplies on Uncle Sam
will be sent to Jail, and in extreme
cases he may be court-martialed and
summarily dealt with.
All this is as 1t should be. War at
its best is probably the worst OF
calamities, but high I'm irded officials
can at least remove the stain OF
graft from it.

A patriotic meeting will be held at

the peOpue are actually StdIV4hS. we
know that in England by recent or
der the food supply has been limited.
We know that this war we are enter
ing upon may call from industrial and
productive pursuits millions of men.
We should begin to understand how
grim the task Is that we are enter
ing upon. We may as we'll begin to
understand that hands hitherto un-
accustomed to toll will be obliged to
assume the tasks Of labor; that the
delicate fingers of many a woman,
which have scarcely ever been en-
ployed in any productive capacity,
will be called upon to engage in ear
nest the work Of creating things to
use and necessity; that the children
who have hitherto spent all of their
hours in play may be called upon to
work in order to contribute to the
support Of families.
I'VE may as well understand that
the burdens of taxation will be enor>
nous, oppressive, in many instances
almost crushing; the man who sup
ports the family must in many cases
be sent to the training camp, and
from the training camp to the war
trench, and that those who remain at
home sustain the home and also help
sustain the absent one.
1--WE have declared war. none of
4 us with light heart, but l fear few
of us have conceived all that this
war we are entering upon may mean.
God knows we hope it may never be-
come for us an actual war. We hope
that before we shall really enter up
( on 1t the power of the German EN-
pire will have broken and we snail
escape the fHghtfulness of the strug'
gle; but no wise man will rely upon
that hope. Wise men will under
stand today that the only thing we
can do in prudence is to prepare fol-
every exigency, for every possibility
for every danger; and that at this
moment we must begin girding oul
loins for fray that may last not fo'
a few months but that may run into
the years; that may be fought on
with nations we do not conceive o
as antagonists; that may call fol
the best Of our blood, the best of the
youth, and finally demand gray-haire'
men. It may sap the very founda
ton of our industrial structure. i
may inflict sacrifices in this countf!
similar to those that are being borne
In other lands. Under such ctrcum
stances it does not do to smile a
a proposition which proposes t.
evolve a plan to increase production
In the United States.
Il believe, sir, that the governor
Of States can be enlisted; l believe
that States can be induced to appro
pirate money to furnish free seed
and where they fail that the Con
gress ought to respond. l believ
that millions OF boys and girls cal
be induced by the mayors Of cite

GOES TO THE WAR

JoseIh Kmball, Jr., one Of our
high school cadets, left for Denver
yesterday to show his loyalty to his
country and its flag, by enlisting as
a marine in the navy. The youth OF
cur land have never faltered when
the country has called upon them TO
defend our sacred rights, on land or

In their veins from long line of

Joe's example will be emulated by
others who will wear the golden

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-While
the United States department of agri-
culture has for n long time been con-
ducting work of benefit to city folks,
IL is now undertaking, directly and for
the first time, to help the city woman
in the work of promoting food pro-
duction, food conservation and house
hold thrift. TO carry on this work
thru demonstrations and thru other
educational methods, congress made
appropriations for women city agents
OF the department. The cities thru
their various organizations help to
support the movement which is car
ried on by the department in CO.
operation with the state colleges OF
agriculture.
The work Of the bureau Of chemis-
try and Of the office of home eco
Monies has been OF benefit. in respect
of foods, TO city women, tho not more
so than TO country women. The bu-
reau OF markets, thru its city market
work, affects both the country pro-
ducer and the city consumer.
Those in charge of the home
demonstration work in the various
states welcome the authority and the
opportunity to work directly with
urban dwellers. In former years they
have often held extensive schools.
meetings and demonstrations In can
ming, preserving, cooking and other
lines of food conservation in towns
and cities, for country women on ac-
count of the convenience OF holding
them there, and the town and city
women have incidentally derived
much benefit from such meetings.
Plans of the Work.
The plans for the city demonstra-
tion agents call for the employment
of workers who will cooperate with
and work thru organizations already
in existence or help to form new ones
where none exist. They will assist
the city women in their problems con-
cerning food production, prevention
of waste, and the conservation of
food. The actual lines of work in
clude home gardening, poultry rails
ing, canning, drying, picking, pre-
serving, and brining Of fruits and
vegetables, proper methods of storage
in the homes to prevent loss, utiliza-
tion of left overs, economic methods
of buying, prevention OF unnecessary
waste in the consumption of food, in
PRODUCTION of new foods as partial
substitutes for meat and wheat flour,
proper diet, and other activities.
In general these city agents are or
ganized as part of the extension
work for women in the state. In
some states this work is made a spe-
cial division while In others IL is a
very intimate part OF the regular
home demonstration work. In some
instances the city worker is appoint
