While discussing the subject of alien
enemies, it would, n passing, be well 70 re-
mark that as TO keeping track OF all alien
enemies perhaps more effective means
than the present rules would be to have the
police commissioners of all districts issue a

cially to any town where there are ammuni-
tiOn factories, and also seaports.

Secrets
ADVERTISING
BUILDING CONFIDENCE.

When you patronize merchant who
practices honesty in his advertising
and always sells the quality he offers
through his printed announcements,
you acquire confidence in him and his
goods.
You accept his word as truth. You
know that when he says he is going
to sell dollar values ut half price you
can buy a full dollars worth for fifty
cents.
And you feel that you can go to his
store ut any time and be assured of
honest treatment, honest values and
honest prices.
Good advertising in it's fullest sense
can give any merchant the reputation
of being "on the square" On the
other hand, advertising with only an
occasional little untruth can often
undermine the reputation of dealer
to such an extent that you become sus-
picious and question every statement
he makes thereafter.
Advertising that tends to build con-
fidcncc is mighty and valuable in
strument in the hands of the progress
sivc merchant. 1t is the means of
nourishing his business and making 1t
grow to the limit of it's capacity.

VS.. LEVYING.

ASSESSING VS.. LEV ING.
Assessing means 'valuing," or
"appraising," and does not mean
taxing.
Levying means "seizing". or
taking for taxes"
The assessor lays the founda.
ton to which other officers apply
the rate of levy.
These other officers, not the
assessor, are the ones who deter.
mine how high" or low" the
taxes will be, by fixing the levy
high or low.
Who fixes the levies?
% For the state, the General
Assembly.
(2) For the county, the County
Court.
(3) For the city, town, or vii.
lage, the Council, the Aldermen,
or Board of Trustees.
"a For the school district. the
voters themselves at the school
meeting, or election, held the
first Tuesday of each April.
School boards, or directors, sug.
gest the rate of levy, but a vote
of the people only authorizes the
school levy.
Then the assessor is not the
officer to annihiIate when taxes
are too high?"
Most assuredly, no.

high, denounce the Legislature.
(2) When county taxes are up,
visit your wrath upon the Coun,
ty Court.
CD When city taxes go sky.
ward, unload your venom on the
councilmen.
(D When you don't like your
school taxes, jump on the voters
whose majority made the schoo
levy.
The officers who fix the levies
for the various purposes are the
only ones responsible for the
quantity of taxes to be collected.

Cotton that is not to be sold as
soon as it is ginned should be
put in a tirst.class warehouse on
a receipt that may be used as
collateral in securing money
quickly if it is needed. Where
there is no convenient warehouse
or the time it is expected tu hold
the cotton is not long enough to
to justify the expense or trouble
of storing, the cotton should be
protected by a building or shed
on the farm In the absence of
shelter the cotton should be
placed on heavy timbers which
keep it Off the ground and per-
NIT free circulation of air under
it. A tarpaulin covering is desir-
able, but at any rate cotton should
not be allowed to rest directly on
the ground.

GUARD GRAIN ELEVATORS.

Wheat harvest is now in full
blast, or just over, in most of the
territory adjacent to ST. Louis.
For the most part the grain has
turned out better than seemed
possible a few months ago, both
in quality and yield. In thou
sands of fields the yellow shocks
of wheat and the tall stately corn
stands like an army called forth
to defend the country from want.
Soon the grain will be flowing
into the elevators, and Mr..
Hoover, who is not yet food die.
tator, sounds timely note of
warning in connection with the
guarding of these supply depots.
A few thousand German spies,
or sympathizers, might work
havoc with the plans of the
United States to feed itself and
the world by applying the torch
to these inestimably valuable
stores. There would be abso
lutely no way to replace this
lost, for the worlds supply of
wheat and corn is known and
every grain lost or burned means
that much less bread.
A few days ago it was report.

had been fired by supposed Ger.

liver to work and clean your bowels of
that sour bile and constipated waste
which is clogging your system and max

YES! LIFT A CORN

Cincinnati authority tells how to dry

off with fingers.

You corn.pcstcrcd men and women

Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of froezone applied directly on a

hardened callus looscns so it can be
lifted out, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freczonc cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-.

ANOTHER SHORTCOMING.

Some time ago we had occasion
to mention that the school dis.
trict's financial report had not
been published as required by
law, and up until this time we get
no response.
The law relating to this matter
is very explicit and does not say
may or can, butpositively shall. y
But the rub comes when the Of
ticer in charge of that end of the
business refuses or fails to do so.
We have repeatedly called for
this statement or report and
have never received any.
The people of this district
showed their willingness re.
Gently when they again bonded
themselves for S1O,O00.O0 for the
buying and improvement of the
city hall property for a High
School, but their masters" re.

receipts and where the money is
going from year to year.
While other school districts
over Southeast Missouri are
publishing financial statements,
showing the indebtedness, tax
rate, and amounts received and
expended in the different funds,
Hayti is a Stacker and does not
do so.
But whose fault is it? We
leave that to those guilty and
should the answer not come in
the proper time we shall prompt
ly take up the matter with the
State Department of Education.
Either this paper is wrong or
right.

GRAIN EXCHANGES ACT
AS A BALANCE Wheel
r. c. Riebs Says Elevators Cannot
Afford to Buy Grain at Top Prices
Without Some Future Gain. b.

Bismarck, N. D., July 13.-That the
exchanges are an imperative need OF
the big grain business of the north
west to act as balance wheel for
the market was a somewhat new
view of this situation expressed to-
day by F. c., Riebe, secretary OF the
Atlantic Elevator company of Min
neapolis, operating 100 line elevators
in North Dakota. Mr.. Riebe is here
with business before the state rail-
way commission.
Elevator companies cannot afford
to buy grain at top prices without
some prospect of future gain. Mr..
Riebe declares. The abolition OF the
grain exchange, he contends, will
mean smaller prices for the farm
er. 1t will also mean, says Mr.. Riebe,
the stretching of resources of ele-
vator companies to the breaking
point If they ale expected to absorb
wheat as it comes in at the rate of
100000 bushels or more a day, with
no prospect of a market for 1t until
the law Of supply, ana demand has
time to operate.
