from Allegheny county, has sure
way of raising $1,500,000 addition
al revenue for schools and road pur-
poses. He would require baby blue
ribbons for cats. Each ribbon would
have a license attached, to be sup
piled by the state at cost Of fifty
cents each, to the 100000 cats,
but the ribbons would have to be
supplied by the owner.
He say that the absence of rib
bon would be evidence sufficient that
the cat was tax dodger, and sub
ject to the penalties attached. He
even thinks that the cat should work
out it's tax, in some way or other;
by catching rats, we presume, as he
intimates that solo and tenor voices
in the feline species should be the
cause of heavier taxes.
The idea isn't very appealing, but
it suggests line of thought that
might work out something. How
about trying a red ribbon, with
sash yard long, to each human tax
payer? That would give us a chance
to find out whether or not it was
popular, before trying it on the cats,
who have no voice in legislative af-
fairs, and who wouldn't know what
it meant anyway.

Apologies to the TiOnesta.

We owe apologies to the Tionesta
Valley Railroad, Pennsylvania in
stitution that we credited with hav-
ing the sloWest express train in the
world, scheduled at eight miles per
hour.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad has a
fast" train running from Belfast
into Easton that covers the 6.3 miles
between Belfast junction and Thir-
teenth Street junction in two hours
and ten minutes, or mere trife over
three miles per hour. One dash of
a half mile between Stockertown
and L. & N. E. junction is made in
thirty-fve minutes. The company
announces that passengers may be
subject to delays, but we will leave
it to our readers to figure out how
the train could run any slower.

Visit the Schools.
TO THE RESIDENTS OF HUNTERDON

TO THE RESIDENTS OF HUNTERDoN
COUNTY:
DR.. Calvin N. Kendall, Commits
sioner of Education. has designated
the week beginning March 18th at
Visit the Schools Week"
In behalf of the teachers and pu-
pills of this county, you are cordially
and earnestly invited to visit the
local school during the sessions of
that week.
The very commendable effort on
the part of Commissioner Kendall to
bring the community in closer touch
with it's school should meet with
unanimous response. There are
vital and pressing needs of the
schools of today which cannot be
met without an intelligent, sympa-
thetic, systematic, cooperative ac-
ton of school officials, parents,
teachers and pupils.
Civic duty requires that every
man or woman whose children are
in school, or who desire the advance
of society, shall make active efforts
to aid the school to reach the civic
ends for which it is established and
maintained.
The teacher in the school is en-
couraged to do her best work when
she is conscious of vigorous inter-
est on the part of the community
which she serves.
Will you not therefore lend this
encouragement and contribute this
service to your local school?

County Superintendent.

DON'T GET SCARED.

There's need to get scared the situation,
just yet especially if you Coryel's Ferry Community

begins between the United States and Germany but all
the prophecies based upon autocrat precedents for
which plain Americans have no
We are told that the Government would operate all
railways telephones elegraphs, commander all autos,
establish food ratons and goodness knows what ALL not
to mention the immediate of every able bodied
between IS and As years Of age and maybe
49, all of which tends send shvers up and down the
backs of whole lot of people
AS matter of fact nothing of the kind will be DONE
The Government possesses power not given by the
people, and it has been necessary to do the things
enumerated and never will be- There will be no command
ering, conscrpon because the former will not be
necessary and the latter isn't constitutional The draft
of the Civil War only provided nfntesma total of the
2780 600 engaged the Northern side and not
repeated because it not be carried out.
If the United States has to lick Germany you may count
upon it that she will do properly, and that there will be
plenty of men willing to fight. If anyone will take the
trouble to inquire how many went to the Civil War
from Lamberville and New Hope they will not need to
ask whether this is patriotic community and it is still
remembered that these didn't have to be drilled
dozen years before they knew which end of the gun
hold their direction.
It's unlikely that there will be any Germany has
reached such desperate state that the submarine bluff

Despite all the preparedness" scares, the United
States OF America is better prepared to take itself
today than any other country the globe 1t possesses
greater resources, in brans money and natures products
than all the other countries combined and practically every
invention worth mentioning has the light of day here
In serious war country could lick any other country
on earth completely that the other country would be
able to remember how it happened.
But let us all hope that the wars will cease and that
the warboosters of Europe will either be shipped to St.
Helena or hustle along to place that has no
saint connected with it. though it sounds like the
first syllable of the second word in Napooens last resting
place.

A FLOWER FOR TIE PRESS

The Official Bulletin pays the fol.
lowing high compliment to the press
of the nation:
Since the United States entered the
war thousands of patriotic Americans
have volunteered their services to the
government. Some volunteered their
services in the army, some in the
navy, and some in various civil en-
pigments. In addition, many in the
two liberty loan campaigns and in
other great national measures have
devoted and are devoting all or part
of their time, at nominal compensa-
ton, or entirely without compensa-
ten, to the service of their country.
If ever a list is made, of these Amer
lean citizens who have volunteered
their services to their country at war,
it will be found that no calling, pro-
fession, or business can show high
er percentage (if any can be shown
so high) as that of the press Of the
nation. The large city dailies, with
their tremendous circulations, and the
small local weeklies, that penetrate
into the humblest homes of the dwell
ers in villages and on farms, alike
have devoted their talents, energies
and space to their government.
The loyal foreign-language papers
have been as generously patriotic as
the others and have preached Amer
icanism and duty in Sc different Ian
guages.
In the second liberty loan campaign,
as in the first, the newspapers of the
country have shown their unselfish
patriotism, and the splendid results
in each campaign are in a great meas
ure evidence of their power and in
fiuence.

MARIoNs TENTH ANNUAL FAIR


Marion county's tenth annual fair
will begin next Tuesday and will con-
tinue for four days.
On those days it is hoped that all
roads will lead to Ocala.
Heretofore our annual fairs have
marked great epochs in our local his
tory. and they have been so success
full as almost to put some of our state
fairs to the blush.
We hope that TINS year more than
ever it will score big success. Let's
make it break the record.
In all former years the exhibits
have been varied and abundant; in
deed, 1t may be said that even to the
home folks they we're revelation,
and to the stranger most marvellous
surprise.
The official premium list this year
is as attractive as ever, and 1t is the
general concensus of opinion that the
fair will carry off still more and great
er honors.
Heretofore also the attendance has
been large, and on our fair grounds
have been seen many distinguished
visitors who have been wonderfully
impressed with our possibilities after
carefully inspecting the exhibits in
side and outside the buildings.
We do not know what has done it,
but this we do know that since the
first fair ten years ago there has been
a wonderful improvement in our live
stock. The scrubs in cattle and hogs
have been largely done away with and
the cattle and hogs that will be seen
on our fair grounds next week will be
as fine as one could see in any of our
western states.
1t will also be observed that there
lis vast difference in the canning
club department. Here is an impor-
tant branch of home economics that
has grown up since the institution of
our annual fairs, and If it had accom-
plished nothing else this alone would
have made it worth while.
Then, too, one must admire the ex.
hibits of the boys corn clubs. The
idea of growing anything like fifty,
seventy-five or one hundred bushels
of corn on an acre of Marion county
soil was almost unbelievable, but it is
so no longer
This showing of what intensive
farming will accomplish must go also
to the credit of our annual fairs.
The fair is Marion county benefit.
1t should have, does have and must
have the cordial and loyal support of
it's citizens.
Make it successful both in point of
exhibits and attendance. and make
Mrs. Tweedy, its active and energetic
secretary, altogether happy.

NOT DlScoUNTINc THE ENEMY's
STRENGTH

For more than forty years Germany
has been making preparations for the
tremendous conflict she suddenly
sprung upon the world.
Before taking so fearfm a step it
is reasonable to suppose that she cal.
culated the cost.
1t has been repeatedly stated that
she had nine millions of well discip-
lined troops under arms and an abun-
dance of munitions and supplies of ey-
cry description to meet her require
ments in her tremendous enterprise.
Besides her own immense and well
disciplined army she had the armies
of Austria-Hungary and other allies
on which to depend
But this was not all. She had the
choice of positions and is so situated
that she can concentrate a larger or
smaller force at any given point with
great expediency.
In making preparations to engage
IN this terrific combat it is pleasing
to know that our government is not
entering into it in any haphazard fash.
ion, but that she is considering the
cost and is making preparations as
though the measuring of strength is
to last for at least five years longer.
How stupendous is the struggle
reckoned to last may be cleaned from
reading a special from Washington,
which will be found on our first page.
1t will show that the United States
government is not undertaking the
strength of the enemy and is well
aware OF the immense dangers that it
is confronting.
The article is well worth a careful
perusai.
