A GOOD WAY 70 RAISE MONEY

While congress is hunting around
for new ways to raise revenue, 1t
should not, overlook the possibilities
of a tax on bill boards. This would be
pleasing to the great majority Of peo'
pie who hate to see country scenes
and streets marred by inappropriate
signs.
The bill board people Of course will
claim that If their business is taxed
all other forms Of advertising should
be taxed too But other forms Of ad.
vertising do not insist upon defacing
scenery, nor in making residence sec'
tions look less desirable. S".
Public sentiment against advertis'
ing signs along country highways is
already growing. In some states
there are organized efforts to tear
them down in highway limits. Land
owners still let them the right to
stand on private ground. But that is
equally Objectionable, and in time is
likely to be prohibited. While wait.
ing for desirable legislation there is
a good bit of revenue there.

BEE MEN MEET
Bee Men OF County Meet With w. E
Atkins Of Department Of AgricuI-'
ture on Thursday Last =.

About fifteen of the bee men Of
Crawford county met with w. E. At.
kins Of the department OF agriculture
lin the farm bureau Office Thursday
afternoon for a. discussion on foul
brood and the winter management OF
bees. ,%. - - lE
Both the American and European
foul brood is prevalent in the county,
and it is only through the organized
efforts Of the interested bee men that
the disease can be stamped out.
Foul brood is bacterial disease and
for that reason spreads from. hive to
hive. European foul brood is con.
trolled by re-queening with Italian
queens. The larvae from the Italian
bees are immune to the disease. The
only remedy for the American foul
brood, which attacks both the com
mon and the Italian bee larvae, is the
total destruction Of the hive by, burn.
ing. 1t is important that the disease
be stamped out, says County Agent
Quist, when you consider the bees
as an industry. The men who are
producing from $4,000 to $4,000 worth
Of honey, as E. G. Miles, of Dunlap,
did this year, cannot afford to let the
disease get among the colonies. The
disease is spread by bees robbing the
hives which are infected Through
the state. bee inspector there Is "a
means by which owners of diseased
swarms may be- compelled to destroy
them. ss'4 "> 4f15
T. Mr. Atkins discussed in detail the
advantages of both outdoor and cellar
wintering. Outdoor wintering is to be
Recommended providing the colonies
are fairly strong, and the hives are
properly packed with leaves or other
good insulation against the cold. Most
of the men at the meeting used the
method although a few favored the
cellar. - =

COUNT YOUR HOGS
The Committee in Charge Of the Hog
Survey In This County Urges
Farmers to Count Hogs

The committee IN charge of the hog
survey in Crawford county urges that
the farmers have their hogs counted
and classified In the following groups:
1. Brood sows with sucking pigs.
2. Brood sows In farrow.
8. Other brood sows, il any.
4. Hogs or pigs under 100 pounds.
5. Hogs over 100 pounds.
Estimate the weights. 1t is not
necessary to weigh the hogs to get
them classified. Leave the record OF
the number OF hogs at the home so
that the school children may obtain
it in case you are not home when they
call. The survey must be made at
once and cooperation on the part of
all concerned gives quickest results.

WAR PROFITS TAX.

Suggesting a government fiscal policy for
191s-1919 or SO 1-3 per cent taxes to Sc 2-3 per
cent bonds and other loans, Secretary McAdoo
has asked congress for an S8,0O0000,000 tax
BILL
McAdoo's action suggests that there will be
two more Liberty loan campaigns before June
80, 1919-the first in October, when it is ex-
pected to raise $4,000, 900, and the second
some six months later, when another big loan
will be foated, the size to depend on how great
are the returns from war savings and other
loans.
Facing expenditures during the fiscal year
ending June so, 1919, of 1924, 900, 900 900 McAdoo
argued in letter to Chairman Kitchin, of the
house ways and means committee, that taxes
must bear their share to prevent ultimate dis.
aster,'' which would follow future financing
upon the quicksands of imitation or unhealthy
credit expansion"
To raise $4,000, 900 in taxes, McAdoo
urges a heavy draft on war profts-hinting his
approval of England's fiat 80 per cent levy on
SUCH this suggests more than TRIPPING the
present rate of per cent on unearned incomes
and heavy tax on all Injuries.
81. A real war profits tax at high rate should be
superimposed, the secretary claims, upon the ex-
listing excess profits tax, so that the tax payer
would have to yield which ever tax was the
greater. This, he shows, would be check on
possible profteers, because it would get back
in taxes all profits above a certain reward-now
impossible because the present excess profits
taxes based on the relations of profits to capital
invested, cannot be made high enough, and a
company with swollen capital and huge profits
escapes.
McAdoo's income tax policy would provide a
squarer deal for the sma-salaried man and
would make drafts upon the man who has
sources of income other than that earned by his
labor.

INCREASING NATIONS STRENGTH.

The army general staff is working on plans
for increasing the nations fighting strength
and President Wilson's ideas of our force "be-
ing without stint and without limit are being
contaminated.
The following official communication from
Washington will give some idea of the new
fighting strength of the army:
Creation of more than twenty new infantry
divisions is contemplated among the first of
these plans. This means the addition of about
100000 fighting men to the army exclusive of
those called for special purposes.
The new divisions will be added to the regular
army and the national army. Original plans of
the cavalry have been altered so that mounted
divisions which have been or are being organ
lied will be dismounted. This shift, is said to
be based upon study which indicates that the
allies have sufficient cavalry, while the main
need in the American contribution is infantry
and artillery, with auxiliary forces in proportion
In this connection, it is likely that the regular
cavalry division viii be disbanded and its regi-
ments scattered the Mexican border patrol,
while twelve national army cavalry regiments
viii serve dismounted.

THEIR GIFT.

Life had not been easy for her, but her face
time had written message of good will to all
the world She had suffered, but she had loved
and been loved She had known long nights
and weary days, but the nights had been Won
labor had been made sweet by the touch of cling
ing ha1.ds and the love of children And there
were memories of days which the magic of
romance had glorifed.
BY her side, sometimes, in the long nights, she
thought her soldier husband to her in
dreams, and whispered: Courage! love you."
And so she went on, and her days were hard,
but her heart kept sweet and on her face angels
wrote their message of charity and love.
And one day as she sat on the little gallery
of her humble home, mending the torn dress of
child voice called to her, and she was startled,
and her face whitened, and she looked up into
her sons eyes with sharp pain in her heart
For his voice had been the voice of his father
and his face had suddenly looked at her with
new meaning; like pang it to her that
her little, little lad had grown to manhood.
1t had been so short time since he had come
to her from heaven. And now he was man,
and so like her iover-h.sband
And one day there came to her the sound of
battle afar off, But far as it was, yet it sounded
in her ears like the roar of many waters-the
waters of death.
And at night, as she lay sleeping, oftener it
seemed than of old, her soldier husband came to
her and put his hand in hers and whispered;
Courage! love you.' And, somehow, she was
comforted.
But she watched her son with a realiza-
tion of the meaning of life, new pride, new
sense of the poignancy of love. And day
when he came to her, as she sat at her simple
task and dropped on his knees beside her chair
and kissed her. she needed no words-she knew.
He was going to serve his nation. And she smiled
and blessed him. And she gave him to the coun-
try that he loved.
He was her only son. But the world needed
him. His God had called him, and he had an
swered that call. When she told him goodbye
she did not weep. But after he had left her. in
the long watches of the night she wept bitter
tears, for she was only woman.
night the hour came for her boy to 90
Over the Top and he was afraid, for he was only
a boy. And then he remembered his mother.
how brave she nad been, now sweet, now true TO
life's demands. And he remembered his father,
that he had given his life for his country. And
he recalled his mothers smile when he left her.
And he went over the top, because there are
thousands of him, battle was won. But he
gave his life for freedom.

many like it that it is quite commonplace.
