AUNT MlRANDY
ON "NlGH SAS SIETY"

''It surely must sound whole lot
like Sour grapes" to hear me rave
about high sassiety doin's, when it's
something everybody knows I'm in
no great demand at, yet jest the
same I'm honest -to-goodness jest as
satisfied that Pm not.
what | mean, especially, is the
eternal round of entertainin' the
same bunch Of females, over an
over again, at afternoon teas, etc,
where Wimmin gather together to
eat and talk and sew or play cards,
but mostly to see if the hostess Of
this particular affair can put up
more or better things to eat than the
last one, and If Mrs. So-And-So has
the colossal nerve to wear that same
dress again, and maybe there's
something new to talk about mot
that we would say anything to hurt
anyone's reputation, but those vim
min will talk, and, of course, some
body's jest got to lissen J Then, too,
If one don't go this time they'll prob
ably say as how she's forced to be
economical and should think she
would be, way things have been
goin' lately, and how could she ex-
pect to keep in "our" sassiety with
her husband not getting able even to
buy new car: Poor thing, she
probably knew she couldn't buy any
thing up to date to wear. and be-
sides, it's soon her turn to have the
club.
Eyes, that poet Teller was not any
off when be said about teas, and the
like, they're case of 'giggle, CAB
bic, gobble, git" His wife must
have got him cornered at ono, he
sums it up so clear.
|'The only enjoyment pears to
come from bein' able to appear
heads up among the "bloods"-a
pride that's apt to turn an otherwise
we'll meanin' lady into the sort who
must impress her superiority on us
commun folks by going about with
nose high in the air. But somehow
that style of carriage always re-
minds me of OF Doc Puts sayin'
that them that holds their nose SO
high is dom it to keep as fer as pos
sible from the smell o. their feet"

THE RETURNS FROM YOUR
INVESTMENT.
Do You Know of Any Tax Pay
ing Bigger Dividends Than
the Road Tax?

Do you know any tax which
you pay to the State of WiscOn-
sin, which in it's very nature
should and does bring you bigger
) returns, returns that you can see
and know you are getting, than
the road tax, we mean for state
aid highways?
The State Railroad Commits.
sion, The State Industrial Com
mission, The State Tax Commits
sion are financed and kept in
operation by taxes. You are get
ting returns from the work they
do, but you will admit it is diff
cult for you to put your finger on
the returns to you. They are in
direct and remote.
The Wisconsin University is
supported by taxation. 1t is
delivering the goods, but except
for those who attend the Uni
versity or avail themselves Of it's
services directly, it is difficult
again to put your finger on the
direct result to you. The same
applies to the State Normal
Schools. The same applies to
numerous other activities Of the
state-splendid activities, which
are doing a great work, but
where the results are so distri-
buted that you are unable to see
them.
1t is different with the highway
tax. We are not speaking of local
highway work, but Of state aid
highway roads Every time you
drive over these roads, you are
getting the returns from your
taxes, you are seeing the results.
They save you in time; they
save you in effort and trouble;
they lessen the wear and tear
on your team and vehicle, or
your automobile; they enable
you to carry bigger load, which
results in fewer trips to market;
they enable you to drive to town
when the market is good, not
when the roads are good and the
market bad; they bring your
children nearer to school; they
lift yourself and family nearer
the church; they move you near
er TO your neighbors and give
you an opportunity to enjoy the
social life; : they increase the
value of your farms.
All these things are before
you. They can be seen and
realized. You don't have to in
vestigate, nor study to find
out your returns. Your own
pleasure and comfort and profit
tell the story. Do you know of
any other tax that comes home
to you SO directly as this?
A common phrase is What are
they doing with all this money
down at Madison?" The road
that goes by your door or leads
to market tells you every day
what is being done with your
state highway tax. They show
you the returns from your in
VeStment.

Neutral Freight Ships
Are Held Up Here by
New Embargo LoD

Not a'single neutral freight vessel
left New York Harbor yesterday, on
the eve of the establishment of the
embargo against the expectation Of
foodstufFs. At midnight, when the lid
was clamped down. the Scandinavian
and Dutch ships, which have been lying
here, grain laden, for several days,
were still at anchor.
One Danish liner sailed hurriedly
with passengers yesterday, but she viii
put into Halifax for inspection.
The report that British cruisers were
living in wait for any neutral craft
which might try to slip out before the
declaration Of the embargo probably
caused those ships in port to remain
here.
Many of the grain-laden ships ex,
pect 70 discharge their cargoes and
remain here indefinitely. Grain, II con-
fined in a hold for any length of time,
swells enormously, and may burst
vessel.
Most Of the detained freighters have
moved into the reaches Of the Hudson
above 10th Street. Ten vessels OF the
Holland Line are mere, and
four more are at Baltimore. This line
apparently will suffer most heavily
from the embargo.
Before vessels sail they must first
receive licenses from the United States
for their csrgoes, and must then sat
isfy the British government that notn-
ing that they carry will find us way
into Germany.
