THERE will be a strong demand that
future issues of government bonds be
taxed. 1t is recognized that the already
great mass of untaxed wealth in the
form Of State, municipal and govern
ment securities and exempted property
imposes an unfair burden on those sub
Jet to taxation on necessities of life,
and that to let this amount grow, as it
will under Government borrowing and
loans to Europe, would be an unsafe
financial policy. The method of adjust
ing the tax SO as not to reduce the pur
chasing power of those who contribute
most heavily to the loans must be
worked out carefully. The experience
Of England has been that her taxable
bonds have been in much greater favor
than those giving the exemption priv
lege but bearing lower interest rate.

'THE OLD HOMESTEAD" Is
PLAY THAT WILL ATTRACT

There is a wholesomeness and charm
about "The Old Homestead" that is all
its own. Plays have come and plays
have gone, but never has the Americ-
an stage presented anything that
could compare with this masterpiece
for its sweetness, its quaint and irres-
tible humor, its homely philosophy it's
delightful and true drawings of char
acters that can never fail to hold their
places in the minds and hearts of all.
Who that has ever seen this play can
forget it or lose their desire to again
renew their acquaintance with the old
folks down on the farm at Swansey
New Hampshire.
The great power to attract that "The
Old Homestead" possess is the sympa-
thetic note it strikes in all of us, the
home note, the appeal of which is
strong within us no matter how har-
dened or calloused we may have been
and it is just that note that has made
of this play, the enduring success it
has been. For nearly forty years 1.-THE
Old Homestead" has been the magnet
that has drawn millions to the thea
ire and yet its power to attract has not
diminished one jot It remains today

the war of 1912 we issued bonds ag

disastrous terms that the treasury
seems to have realized only $4,000 900.

the cost Of the war and the higher sum

the cost Of war was met out Of s16,-

MILBURN is COTTON
AND GRAIN CENTER

Milburn is located in the best agrl-
cultural section of Oklahoma, on the
banks Of the beautiful Blue river.
Milburn buys and ships more cotton,
more corn and more oats than any other
town in Johnston county.
1t is surrounded on the north and on
the east by the fertile valleys of the
Blue river, and this land makes an av.
erage of fifty bushels of corn per acre;
three-fourths of a bale of cotton per
acre, and three tons of alfalfa per acre.
Two miles south of Milburn is the
twelve-mile Prairie, black waxy lanl
which produces equal to the black land
of Texas.
Milburn has good schools, and church
es, is strictly a moral town, and while
not on boom, 1t is gradually building
up with modern up-to-theminute bust
ness houses and residence. Not a busi-
ness house or residence in the town
is vacant.

Christian Herald A wayfarer car.
ried heavy sack. under which he toiled
and complained increasingly. From
none could he get help or comfort.
AS he slowly journeyed, groaning un.
der his burden, the Angel Of Opportun.
ism came to him and spoke kindly, say.
ing:
Brother, what earliest thou?"
The man answered surlily, my wor-
ries."
The angel smiled pityingly upon him
and said, Let us look into thy burden
and examine thy worries"
And so they looked in. But, 10, the
sack was empty!
why, surely" cried the man, there
were two great worries, TOO heavy for
man to bear! But-ah, yes. l had for.
gotten-one was worry of yesterday,
and so it is gone"
"And the other?"
"That-why, that was a worry OF
tomorrow, and tit has not vet come. /"
Then the angel smiled with infinite
pity, saying:
'Hearken He who bows himself down
under the worries of yesterday and to.
morrow wears himself out for naught.
But he who carries only the worries
of today has no need of sack for his
sorrows. If thou wilt cast this black
thing aside and give all thy strength
and cheer and courage to the things
Of today real misfortune never can
burden thee"
Wondering, the man did as the angel
commanded.
And as he took up his journey and
went lightly, swiftly on, his heart and
his hands were free to relieve many a
brother wayfarer of his burdens and TO
pluck sweet fruits and flowers along
the wayside.
And when he came at last to the set.
