THE WAY OF MRS.
HIGHBROW ALONE
(From Cordele Dispatch.)


Mrs. Highbrow Is so stuck up" OF
late that she cannot command the re-
spect and admiration of her neigh
bors. She stands up in the ladies'
meetings and tells so much about
what she does and what she can do
that she is becoming unbearable. The
habit Is undermining the good old
time religion in the prayer services.
Mrs. Highbrow waltzes into the
room with her chin tilted to an angle
OF about forty degrees. She man
ages to turn several corners in order
to show her new dress and hat from
every angle" And before long she
is up Growing" over the other mem
bers with such fervor that everybody
forgets it is the ladies' prayer meet
ing hour. She gets away with the
in her own mind that she
made a beautiful killing" And she
did. Killings" like these are verv
effective.
Real women, good women, women
with souls, are never able to under
stand Mrs. Highbrow and she is never
able to understand them. And so they
are drifting in widely different direc-
tons. But the good way, the SEN
sible way and the lowly, humble way
is yet the best and so much the more
happy way that Mrs. Highbrow is go
ing a lonely road.

EVERY ONE INTERESTED IN NEW WAR TAX AND
 IS FIGURING IT OUT

Among those affected by the new war tax are tobacco dealers and to bacco consumers. Speaking of the increase, the Seattle Times says:
 The tax of $1 a thousand on 5- cent ciiars will mean an advance in the price of this cigar to 6 cents; the tax of $3 thousand on 10-cent cigars will result in an advance to 12 cents. Cigars which have been selling at cents each will be ad- vanced to ' cents, and 12 F cent cigars will disappear from the mar ket, selling at 15 cents each.
 The tax of 75 cents a thousand on 10-cent cigarettes will cause this class of smokes" to be ad vanced to 15 cents a package or two for 25 cents, according to the dealers, and the 15-cent cigarette will go to 20 cents package.
 The tax of cents pound on chewing tobacco and smoking tobac- co will be added to the retail price, the consumer paying all of the levy. Snuff, which is sold at nearly every cigar stand, will be advanced cents a pound to cover the new tax.
 After the inventory of Seattle's cigar stands is made the revenue agents will visit each of the city's many drug stores, checking up all stock which is subject to taxation under the new law The inven- tory of intoxicating liquors will be made first and tax of $2.10 gal lon assessed. Stamps will not be used in the levying of this tax but each bottle or barrel will be stamp ed by the official rubber stamp of the revenue department.
 After the inventories of the ci- gar stands and the drug stores are made, the tar will be levied on mo- ton picture films, automobiles, mu- sical instruments and jewelry. One quarter of cent of the value per foot will be levied on motion pie ture fislms and per cent on auto mobiles, musical instruments and jewelry.
 The government expects to realize $10, 100000 from it's new tax on ci- gars, $21 ,500,000 on cigarettes. $30, 100000 on tobacco, $3,800,0 on snuff, and $100,000 on cigarette papers.
