HERE'S HOW TO TELL
speed OF R. R. trains

Here's how to determine how fast
a railroad train is going. An old rail-
roader vouches for its exact accuracy.
Ask the conductor to tell you the
length OF rail you are riding over.
II it Is a 33 foot rail the number OF
joints you pass in 90 seconds will be
the number of miles per hour the
train Is going. Thus, II you pass 40
rail joints in 20 seconds you Will be
going 40 miles per hour
II you are on a 30-foot rail the
number OF joints passed in Is seconds
will equal the number Of miles per
hour.

Taxes VIII Increase.

You have children to educate. You
schools SO that your children may have
the same advantages that the children
in the big city have. If you live on a
farm you need good roads over which
to haul your products to market. You
may say that you pay your share of
the taxes out Of which the school
houses are built and the roads con-
structed. Maybe you do pay your share,
in proportion to the value of your
worlds goods, but where is the other
fellow to get the money to pay his
share of the taxes If, after you pay
your taxes, you send the remainder of
your money to some other community
to help build their schools and con-
struet their roads. The merchants of
any community pay very consider
able part of the taxes collected In that
community. Go TO the tax books and
you will find this to be the case. When
the business of the merchant falls off
and he carries smaller stocks and has
less money in the bank, he pays small
er taxes, and as the amount he pays
In taxes decreases, the amount you
pay must increase If the schools are
to be maintained and the roads kept
up. 1t may be a mans own business If
he wants to send his money to help
build up the big cities where the mail
order houses flourish. but it's poor
business for himself as well as for
everybody else in the community In
which he lives. x.xs@s

APPLYING FOR CITIZENSHIP

IL is the same story from all citicS-hm- drcds of foreigners are applying to the courts for citizenship. Even the sailors up- on the informed German vessels have de- serted their ships in numbers and have made application to become citizens of this good United States
 These people know They lately have resided in foreign lands. They are acQuaiu- ted with the conditions over there. They have seen a little of the United States. And they want to stay here and become citizens of this great nation, giving up their alcgi-
 ucc to all foreign governments.
 There is no reason whatever to believe that these new applicants for citizenship are not sincere Indeed, they would have nothing to gain at this time by making ap- plications to become citizens. They must remain here for some years in order to be- come ful-hedgcd citizens. They enjoy mo special privileges while residing here until they have been in the country long enough to become citizens. So there is mo reason to believe that they are asking for citizen ship papers for any other reason than that they want to give up the old world and be- come a part of the new world; they want to rcnomce allegiance to European nations to become citizens of am American nation, says am exchange.
 The truth is, of course, that there is no comparison between the conditions in this country and in Europe, so far as living con- .ditionS are concerned. And there never has been any comparison with monarchial government and a democracy. Why any man should be devoted to the war-ridden nations of cffete Europe against such ma ton as this, we do not llnow-and cannot understand. Why any citizen of the United States should allow himself to entertain thoughts of disloyalty to this country, is beyond our understanding.
