HAY DECLINES TO ABD1cATr

nal DECLlNES TO ABD1CATE
Hay was to become obsolete before
the onslaught of the internal combus-
ton engine, and its fragrance was to
live only in poetry and in perfumes
made from the products of coal tar.
But hay is still with us. Last year
it turned out a crop which beat the
record and had a value in excess of a
billion dollars. At centers where, be-
fore the automobile appeared, there
was no exchange on which hay was
bought and sold there are now or
gained markets and a trade paper is
authority for the statement that
whereas members in one long-estab-
lished hay exchange went begging at
$25 fifteen years ago, they are now in
demand at $500.
OF course, automobiles do not eat
hay, at least habitually. The fact
is that automobiles are only one prod
uct of a silent revolution. Another
product is transition to a stage where
we increase the cattle we feed for the
dairy and for meat. We have really
been adding to our in cattle
not so much in numbers as in quality
per head, and hay has proportionately
increased it's Importance in the scheme

how close he could pass in front Of a

you see the modest monument OF the
hired girl who started the fire with
kerosene and the grass covered knoll
that covers what is left of the little
boy who put a comb under the mules
tail. The tall shaft over the man
who blew out the gas casts a shadow
across the boy who tried to jump on
a moving train. Side by side the
ethereal creature who always had her
corsets laced to the last hole and the
intelligent idiot who rode a bicycle
five miles in ten minutes sleep undis-
turbed. At repose lies a doctor who
took his own medicine. There. with
a top of an old shoe box driven over
his head, lies a rich old man who
married a young wife. Away over
there by a side gate reposes a boy
who fished on Sunday and a woman
who kept strychnine side by side with
the baking powder in the cupboard.

The Great Unwashed Meet and Put
Up a Ticket to Be Slaught-
cred This Fall.
The shattered remnants of the
unterrified democracy of Valley coun-
ty to the number of twenty-five
braves assembled at the court house
in Glasgow Wednesday afternoon and
brought forth the ticket conceived in
the misguided imagination of the
party bosses since their inglorious de-
feat of two years ago.
The gathering was not a large
and unlike the republican conven-
ton of a week ago very little enthu-
siasm was manifested and no great
amount of confidence expressed.
The only contest in the convention
for office was for the a~ssessorship,
there being n less than even aspir-
ants for the position. Before the
hour of assembling a caucus damp
ened the ardor of five prospective as
SCISSORS, leaving Fred Groves and A..
j. Mcmillan to fight it out in the
convention. Groves secured the 81
votes and Mcmillan 4.
The convention was called to order
by Senator Hurd, chairman of the
democratic county central committee,
who briefly stated the object of the
meeting and upon being made tenn
porary chairman appointed the sew
eral committees.
After an adjournment of thirty
minutes another whirl at office max
ing was taken with L. P. Evans in
the chair and O. S. Cutting as secre-
tary. The slate was then produced
and the following were nominated by
reclamation.

WAR COST AND WEALTH

Statistics of war finance do not
mean much in themselves. They are
too big for ordinary comprehension.
If we reduce them to a percentage
basis, however they appeal to the
logical faculties and of proper
ton in us and are digestible.
If we say that the wealth of the
United States is $3.50, 000, 100000 and
that our personal incomes aggregate
$40, 600, OO0,0 900 per year and that con-
gress expects to mortgage this
wealth and tax these incomes to the
extent of perhaps 14,000, 900 900 and
So, 500, OOO, 900, respectively, during the
fiscal year 1917-18, our minds give the
statement no rational reception. If
we say, however, that the taxes will
be / per cent Of our incomes and that
the government bond issues will be
equal to a mortgage of Sc per cent of
our national wealth, it is easy to cal
culate whether or not each one of us
personally is buying his share Of
bonds and paying his proportion of
taxes to the federal government, in
addition to local taxes.
On the basis of the foregoing esti-
mates the national debt of the United
States next June per inhabitant will
be about $126, as compared with near
" $500 in England and France. Rus
STA is facing a national crisis because
: of lack of liquid wealth, but owing to
a large population her per capita tax
is only about 1925.
The end of the first year of the war
will find the United States govern
ment with a relatively much smaller
debt than England and France. Gu,
taxes will amount to $31 per capita
: which is nearly as heavy as in France
though much less than in Great
: Britain. Since the American people
enjoy a much larger income per per
son, however, the per cent of taxes or
our incomes is much less than in an.
European country.
