CITY TAXES

Under Section 3400 Of the
Kentucky Statutes, interest at
the rate Of eight per centum
per annum is now being add.
ed to all upaid city taxes.
This interest has been running
since October l, 1917, on tax
es for the year 1917, and if
said taxes are paid now very
little interest will have to be
paid. On all city taxes for the
year 1917, which remain un-
paid on the first day Of De-
cember, 1917, an additional
penalty Of 6 per centum will
be added.
The city officials have no
desire to infiict the payment
of interest and penalties on
the tax payers, but the law
makes it my duty to collect
the interest and penalty above
mentioned if taxes are not
paid before the dates on which
said interest and penalty, I'M
der the law, are added.
Persons, firms and corpora
tons who have not paid their
city taxes are requested to SET
tie same now and thereby es-
cape the payment of future in
terest and penalty.

He Who Makes Mo Effort Exempt.
copyrighted. 1914 by Thomas j. sullivan.l
He only is exempt from failure who
makes no effort.
In the lexicon of youth. which fate
reserves for bright manhood, there
is no such word as fail-it comes later
in life
There are so many reasons which
can logically and truthfully be ad-
vanced as causes contributing to the
numerous failures that ! will endeavor
to analyze only the principal Ones-the
business failures.
Every failure is a step to success;
every detection of what is false di.
reefs us to what is true; every trial ex-
hausts some tempting form of error.
Not only so, but scarcely any attempt
is entirely a failure; scarcely any the
DRY, the result Of steady thought, is
altogether false. No tempting form of
error Is without some latent charm
derived from truth.
Failure Is. In a sense, the highway
to accomplishment, inasmuch as every
discovery of what Is false leads us to
seek earnestly after what is true, and
every fresh experience points out some
form Of error which we shall afterward
carefully avoid. s.
In this article we have not the space
to treat of individual cases or their
many causes. but will deal altogether
with the commercial side Of the ques-
ton-the business failures.
Perhaps the most general and CON-
mon cause IL lack OF capital. Many
men venture into business with just
enough money to Swing" the enter.

THESE three are frequently augment
ed by another equally dangerous In
business. and that Is engaging in a
business Of which you have no knowl
eye or experience in. No man can hope
to succeed In any line of business
where his principal qualifications are
assets and ignorance.
But withOut-q question the most pro-
nounced cause of business failure In
any line or in any community Is that
Of lack Of patronage. No business con-
Germ. professional man, church or
school can long endure without patron
age. Heavens eternal wisdom has de-
creed that man should ever stand in
need of man.
The beautiful must ever rest in the
arms of the sublime. The gentle need
the strong to sustain them, as much as
rock flowers need rocks to grow on or
the ivy the rugged wall which 1t en-
braces. Patronage Is the sustenance Of
business, and without 1t failure follows
just as swely as death follows the rock
flower and the ivy when their support
Is withdrawn.
Farmers Frequently Fail.
Listed among the business men who
frequently fail is the farmer, the
greatest producer of us ALL He fails
for the same reason as do some Of
our other business men-because of
ignorance. Many of these men have
been born and reared as farmers and
imagine that is all the qualification
necessary to follow that vocation. 1t
is not. Technical education, constant
study of conditions elsewhere and a
full realization of the necessity Of
fertilization OF his farm constitute
the first principles Of the successful
farmer.
Few farmers have not been obliged
to avail themselves Of the local mer-
chants willingness to extend credit,
and now that the local merchant is
facing a graver calamity and a greater
pest than ever a farmer was obliged
to meet In the retail catalogue houses
methods Of doing business would 1t
not be right and fair for the farmer
and every resident OF the community
to rally to the aid Of the man who
rallied to their aid In days gone by
with a willingness only equaled by
his confidence in his customer and his
loyalty to his community?
When a farmer fails the whole COM
munity suffers. and the man who must
bear the brunt of the burden is the
local merchant His capital is invest
ed and his hope of return rests with
the farmers ability to produce. II
blight, a drought, a cyclone or pest
bugs destroy the crops the merchant
must mako the best Of II and carry"
the farmer for another season or until
he has good crop.
Loyalty is the greatest virtue that
man Is endowed with, and the prac-
tice OF 1t now by residents Of small
cities and towns in favor of the local
merchant whose business Is endanger-
cd by the retail catalogue trusts would
be display OF generosity manifested
only by men and communities where
The practice of the Golden Rule obtains.

Overland Roadster Opens ~

In Australia there Is an automobile,
an American-made product, which
gets credit for opening up more terd-
tory to motoring than all Of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois combined 1t is
an Overland roadster purchased in
1913 by A. J. Cotton, one of Aus
tralia's leading pasturers.
Mr.. Cotton is large holder of land
in the northern territory, hundreds Of
miles from a railway, and he bought
the car simply as an experiment in an
effort to personally look after his
holdings. His objective point was
Boorooloola Station, on the MacAr-
thur river. AS soon as the car was
delivered to him he shipped it to
Longneck, the terminus of Queens
lands Central railway. Then he drove
800 miles to Cloncurry, the terminus
of the Northern railway line. Leaving
Cloncurry, he headed west for Ca

northeast to Burketown. on the Gulf
of Carpentaria. His arrival in Burke

Motorists are anxious to give their

will be successful, thus bringing new
glory to- the car they drive. This ap-

Huge CuIvert Moved

An illustration of the desirability
Of placing culverts, where they will
be most useful is afforded by the
spectacle of a big structure of this
sort which has been moved slowly
about a quarter of mile on one of
the country roads of Iowa. This great
mass of concrete is 6 feet wide, feet
high and "a feet long and weighs
about seventy tons. In its original
location it proved of so little service
that house mover was engaged to
place it at more suitable place.
He raised it, with its wing walls
at the ends, without cracking it to any
injurious extent and placed it on roll

Germans Will Not Require With-
 draWal Of Volunteers

London, Feb. 16.--Representative of the American Commission for Re- lief in Belgium will not withdraw. from the occupied portions of Bel sium and Northern France, as pre- viously had been arranged, but will remain for the present, it Is now stated.
 The commission has received a dis patch from it's office in Rotterdam stating that at meeting held in Brussels the German authorities an- nounced that all representatives of the commission might remain in Bel gium and Northern France on the same footing as heretofore. Present at this meeting were Baron Von der Lancken, civil governor of Brussels; the America hand Spanish ministers, representatives of the Belgian Relief commission and of the Belgian Ma tlonal committee.
 A Reuter- dispatch from The Hague says tho German legation there states that an. official note was addressed on Feb. 10 to the diplomatic controller of nutrition work, permitting Ameri- cans to continue relief work in Bel gium and Northern Fance. Fur thermore, to the American minister at Brussels the. opportunity was &C., corded of participating in the central management of the nutrition work. The German authorities further de- clare that in the future, as in the past, they would be willing to accede to every demand of the Commission for Relief in Belgium.

REPUBLICANS GIVE
 WILSON SUPPORT
Wilcox Pledges Aid of Party
 During Present Crisis

Washington, Feb. 16.-Chairman Wilcox of the Republican National committee was in Washington yester- day and called at the White House. President Wilson saw the leader of the republican forces by appointment in the afternoon.
 MT. Wilcox explained that the pur- pose of his call was to assure the president that in 8 crisis like the present the country stood behind him without respect to party. Mir. Will COX said he voiced the sentiments of many republicans leaders. The pres ident is said to have received MT. Willcox's assurance of support with deep interest and gratif1cation.
 After seeing the president MT. Will COX visited the senate in company with Secretary James B. Reynolds of the republican national committee and called upon several republican senators, representing both the pro- gressive and conservative factions. They included Senators Penrose. Weeks, Harding and Shoot on @ the conservative side and Senators Borah, Norris and Kenyon of the progress sives.
 While MT. Wilcox said that his visit, here had nothing to do with politics, it Is understood that he talked with some senators regarding the situation in congress. President Wilson is known to view with con- cern the filibustering tactics which have been resorted to by Minority Leader Mann and a few other repub- licans recently because of the situa- tion which he feels congress may have to face at any minute. It was reported that MT. Wilcox, after see- ing the president had discussed this with some of the republican leaders. and had expressed it as his opinion that it would not be for the good of the republican party at this time to seem to resort to any partisan tactics which would have the effect Of de- laying needed legislation.
 Asked about the reported plan for enlarsing the work of the national committee, Chairman Wilcox said he did not contemplate taking up that matter on his present visit.
 'I have some ideas" he said, (which I will lay before my colleagues in the party soon. I want their ad- vice and cooperation, but that will come later The country is not in 9 mood to talk politics now. and there can be no partisan activities
