sympathixing with the farmer.
Some of the corporations undoubt-

the farmers are objects of sympathy

ICES that the farmers, as class. pay
a larger proportion of their just and
legal taxation than the corporations,
as. well as some private individuals.
The reason for this is plain--the
farmers property consists of land
and improvements, that are visible

Brother Sanders took a ''whack"

co,lntermanded shortly after the

through the departure of troops from
certain OF the smaller camps, either
for home or for concentration in
large and semipermanent camps on
the border. These changes will make
little difference in the work which is
being carried on by the Army Young
Mems Christian association.
The problem Of serving the troops
has been increased, not lessened, by
the arrival of General Pershings
force of more than 10000 men on
the United States side Of the border.
These men are being distributed to
various centers and the association
wants to give to them the sane type
of service as the men of the national
guard have enjoyed for the past few
months.
The expenses continue at approx
jmateay 1000 a day and the COM
mittee is in need of funds to meet
the outlay, Several state committees
are maintaining secretaries and two
or three are paying the entire ex-
penses of work with the troops from
their states but the cost of $1,000 a
day is in addition to what is being
done financially through the cooper
alton OF state committees.

there are other little eccentricities
that enter into the newspaper busl-
ness that make life worth living.
In olden times when you called
man a horse thief or a tax dodger,
he seldom appealed to the courts,
but got his satisfaction in an appeal
to brute strength. And even now,
at times. it is rather interesting to
watch the manner by which old GUS
toms have been slightly changed and
handed down from age to age.
Peculiarities Of old traditions still
linger among us, and are forked over
to posterity like a wappy-jawed tea
pot or a long time mortgage. No
one can explain it. but the fact still
remains patent that some of the
oddities of our ancestors continue to
appear from time to time, clothed in
the changing costumes of the pre-
vailing fashion.
Along with these choice antiqui-
tics, and carrying the nutbrown
flavor of the dead and relentless
wears, comes the amende honorable.
From the original amende in which
the offender appeared clothed only in
i cotton flannel shirt, and with d
rope about his neck as an evidence
of a formal recantation, down to the
day when (somettmes) the pale edi-
tor, in a stickful of type, admits that
Ibis informant was in error" the
amende honorable has marched
along with the easy trend of time.

HERE'S VERY HIGHEST
HIGH COST OF LIVING
Thirty-seven Gamecocks, Worth
$4,000, Sent by Court to
Hospital Soup Pots.

The doom of thirty-seven gamecocks.
estimated to be worth $4,000, cap
tured In recent raid in Pittsburgh,
when several prominent business and
professional men were arrested, has
been sealed by the court. Instead Of
living again to don the spurs" in a
fighting pit, they will be relegated to
the soup pots of Pittsburgh hospitals.
In an effort to save the game birds
from an fgnominious death Attorney
George W. Allen asked Judge Shafer
to grant an injunction restraining the
Humane Society of Western Pennsyl-
vania, In whose custody the birds now
are, from killing them, citing in his
petition an act Of 1888 which author
lied the sale of gamecocks captured
in raids.
Attorney Allen stated that he had
an offer of purchase for the birds and
was willing to buy them from the Hu-
name society at the regular market
rates for dressed fowl. Judge Shafer,
however, refused to grant the injunc-
lion.
Among the cocks captured are sew
eral valued at $1,000 apiece. One of
the birds which will grace soup pot
was brought from Cuba by promi-
nent attorney at cost of 81 200, which
is a big price even considered in the
light of the present day cost of
chicken.
N. R.-sporting experts are of the
opinion that anybody who is tough
enough to eat gamecock can eat
scrap iron, and anybody else who tries
it will be fit subject for a-hospital.
