Inessee farms in 1916, and there are
probably 1900 or more now in use
thruout the State.
The farmer who owns as many as
ten cows or ten head of beef cattle
can not afford to be without silo OF
some kind.
Silos have been built successfully Of
q great many materials-wood, con-
crete, brick, stone, tile and metal. Al
most any silo which is alright will
preserve silage, but ii is advisable for
one to- build as substantially as pos
sible.
With the growing interest in silos
and silage there has come an in
creased demand for a satisfactory,
cheap. homemade silo The wood
hoop silo probably originated at Scots
vile, N. Y, where the first one of this
kind Of which we have any record, was
built in 1891 In the Sweetwater Val
ley and in other sections of East Ten.

Pershing's Plea

In Il recent statement 10 the Amer
lean people. Gen. Pcrshing. command
ing the United States forces in
France. asked them TO be patient un-
til his army is thoroughly prepared
10 enter the lighting line. This plea
for patience is really an answer to
criticism OF over-enthuSia~tic Amer
leans who want 10 see the SammieS
do something. Their enthusiasm is
greater than their knowledge OF the
requirements of modern warfare.
The United States is much in the
same position as Great Britain was
W hen she entered the war. The Brit
ish regulars We're made the nucleus
of an army slowly. but surely. dcvel-
Oped under the most painStakIng
care and precaution. Pershing'S )
forces are the foundation on which
the United States is constructing an
army. the larger portion OF which
must not only be equipped but drill
ed and whipped into shape for etfec-
tive work. 1t took Great Britain
more than year to place 100000
men in France Ii will take the
United States six months. at least.
to equal Great Britain'S original
army.
While Gen. Pershing's plea should
not lessen enthusiasm in this coun-
try il should temper it-Should lead
enthusiasts to better and more COM
plete appreciation Of military neces-
stiles. There is need Of patience at
the present time. yet there is this
cons soiation-patience Will be we'll re-
paid by military effectiveness if
American troops finally enter upon
the firing line thoroughly prepared
to meet all the conditions of modern
warfare

WATER COMPANY NOTICE.

The Dorchester Water Co. has suf-
fered considerable loss from users OF
water who have moved away from,
town leaving water rent bills unpaid.
These losses are caused almost en-
tirely by people who rent property,
and the directors of the Dorchester
Water Co. find it necessary to pass
the following rule:
''On and after Oct. 1, 1917, All
owners will be responsible for wa
ter supplied to their respective prop
critics, and the rents will be charged
directly to the owners OF the prop
ertv, instead of the tenants"
Where water rents are paid in ad-
vance and the tenants move before
the time expires for which rent has
been paid, then the Water Co, on no.
tice being given, will refund the un-
used portion so paid.

Showing No Signs OF His Age

Much has been written about Gen
eral CadOrna since the beginning OF
the war, and presumably his age has
been told more than one" IN the
many articles devoted to him. That
particular bit of Information, how
ever, has not impressed itself amy
thing like as strongly on any OF us
as have the innumerable pictures OF
ltalyS great commander. and as in
them he does not look at all like an
old man, the fact that this week he
celebrated his seventeen birthday
by giving the Austrians another
sound beating-has necessitated
djuStment of ideas concerning
him in large number, perhaps d
large majority. OF American minds.
As General Cadorna is the only
Commander in Chief produced by the
war who has held till now the place
originally intrusted TO him-as Italy
is the only nation that has not felt
obliged to make the reprehended eX-
change While crossing this terrible
river-there is obviously some eX-
cuSe for Questioning the ancient and
still commonly accepted assumption
that old men are good for council
alone, and not for the field OF battle.
How that assumption won the FAVOR
il has is something OF 4 mystery, for
military records, if they prove any
thing at all on the subject, prove
that generalship is not a matter of
age, or elSe-what is more probable
that age is not matter of years.
Alexander and Napoleon support
the contention that the best Generals
are little more than boys, but the
ma ajority of the Generals who have
won recognition did it after they
were 60, and not a few Of the most
distin guished, like General Won
MoItke. earned their laurels more
than Il decade later. General Perish
ings recent call for young comman-
ders seemingly did not refer to men
for the conduct of the operations of
national armies as a whole. but to
the leaders OF officers
from whom is required something of
the physical strength and activity
which old age as an almost invari-
able rule does lack.
AS for General Cadorna, though
his military genius may not be the
result of his threeScore years and
ten, evidently they have not prevent
ed its brilliant manifestation. and a
few more men as old as he, if other
wise like him, would be worth many
times their weight in gold to the AL
lies

Riga
warfare

Berlin'S somewhat too SpOntane-
Gus celebration of the capture of
Riga, giving evidence Of an ''accele-
rated" rejoicing, confirms the belief
We have already expressed that the
German advance on RuSSia'S lines in
that quarter was undertaken with Il
view rather to political effect than to
distinct military advantage. Possibly
the Germans might have taken Riga
long ago, but they We're much occu-
pied on other fronts. The moment
came when they knew that the Rus
slams would abandon the city and its
defenseS without much resistance,
and they walked in. Many OF the
Russian troops, still groveling in that
extreme of degradation to which they
have been brought by influences
emanating from the Council of
Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates,
left their posts and ran like sheep.
Yet military writers of authority
graVely present the taking of Riga to
the German people as a great mill
tary triumph. a victory won by des
perate fighting. so that. accepting
their version of the battle, it would
be fairly comparable to Cadorna'S S
triumphS over the Austrians. The
Germans intended to make use and
are making use of the capture OF
Riga 10 put heart into the sore-beset
people of the Empire in order that
their souls ma- be sustained thru
Lanother winter Of want and suffering.
An incident over which Germany
so reJoiceS ought to have the cor
relative effect of covering the Rus
SLAMS with shame. Russkoye Slovo,
the Russian newspaper published in
New York, laments the fall of Riga,
Russia S window on Europe, which
autocracy from the time of Peter the
Great had striven to keep open and
make broader, but democracy has
closed it, has given it over into the
hands of the Kaiser. 1t was one of
Russia's important Baltic ports 1t
has been lost, and as Germany ad-
vances Russians will confront the
probability that the Baltic will be-
come INLAND waters of the German
Empire
Sorrowful reproaches of that ma
ture addressed to the authors of the
present Reorganization in Russia
ought to have some effect. They put
the revolution above the war, the
class struggle for the overthrow OF
the middle class, for the downing of
capital. above the defeat of Germany.
but revolution which gives up terri
tory to a terrible enemy of the coun-
try. which sacrifices one position af-
ter another. until the very capital of
the nation is threatened with cap
ture, must appear to all sane Rus
slams as revolution carried much too
far. The disorders in Russia have
been explained by the theory that the
Russians are intoxicated with the
new wine of freedom. Nothing OF
the kind. Their brains have been be-
numbed, their hearts half paralyZed,
their spirit destroyed by the old poi
son of socialism in its extreme form
of internationalism which is the
death of all patriotism. Mr. Root
has told us that the heart of Russia
is sound. We may hope so, we may
believe it, for the great mass of the.
peasants, in whom Mr. Milukoff still
expresses such confidence, have not
been very deeply affected by the
preaching of the wild extremists of
Petrograd. With the Bolsheviki

To The People of
Dorchester County,

Owing to some reports that l have
heard recently are being circulated, 1
think it proper TO make a statement
concerning some affairs connected
with the TreaSurer'S Office. When
was elected, nearly four years ago,
the taxes were collected by men ap-
pointed for each district; | was then
! allowed a deputy at a salary of 500
year The Act of the Legislature
of 1914 authorized ana directed the
County Treasurer to collect the taxes
and allowed him to appoint a clerk,
to be approved by the County Com
missionerS, at a salary of $500 a
year; also d stenographer for the
work of the entire Office.
The commissions paid 10 the tax
collectors for collecting taxes only
in 1914 was $5,0S2; this does not in
.clude the amount paid for the as
-sessing of new property, which is
cabout the same under the new sys-
Z TEN. From this it will be seen that
while there was Il saving of $4,000,
the allowance for Clerk hire was cut
down 500, Notwithstanding the fact
that the work was increased three
fold.
Ills law dlSO pI ON1NSo lOI ICES III
the sale of property for taxes. The
Treasurer was allowed SO in sales OF
real estate, and soc. in sale of per-
sonal property. This was intended
to cover extra clerical work in get
. ting up the lists, and other work in
connection with the sale. The coun-
! sci in the case was allowed fee not
! to exceed $40 These fees were in
/ cd tn with
making sale, as the law allowed no
other compensation than the fixed
| salary for the Treasurer.
! In most cases the fee allowed did
not cover the expense of work, as it
has been necessary to employ clerks
! from time TO time to assist in getting
! up this work.
/ During my term l have not ap-
| pointed any clerk in the office, as the
/ appointments were made solely by
| the County Commissioners.
! The making of sales of property
| for taxes was very unpleasant duty
! for me, but it was required by law,
! and my sworn duty. No official in
! Dorchester county has worked in his
office more regularly than | have, as
can be proved by those persons who
! visit the office daily.
| l am. as is known TO everyone,
candidate for denomination, and L
! earnestly solicit the support of all
| Democrats in the Primaries to be
/ held next Tuesday. ! have endea-
! vored honestly and faithfully to per
from the duties of my office, and If
renominated. l believe the experience
acquired during the past four years
I will be of great assistance during the
next four.
