THAT GOOD OLD RAIL FENCE
Ancient and Honorable and c.nvenI.
ent institution That Held Hon.
ored Place on the Farm.

Among the once necessaries of farm
life that reflected prodigallty in the
use of valuable timber was the old
rail fence, observes the Columbus Dis
patch. Like many other almost by
cones of rural life, its place in farm
wastefulness now Is well established
and yet 1t had its uses for which the
present straight line wire fencing can
not qualify.
The old rail fences serrated
stretches were the homes of small ami
NAL life that now are rapidly disap-
pearing. Around its timbers there grew
the uncultivated blackberry. with its
sister, the raspberry, and among its
recesses there thrived the elder whose
fri-it once was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms were the founda-
ton for elderberry wine that matrons
served of winter evening when the
neighbors gathered
The rail fence, with It's invariable
underground, was the favorite protec-
ton for Bob White In winter, and
from Its top he sang In the warmer
seasons. Beneath, the little ground
squirrel burrowed. From safe re-
treat he chartered If some intruder
came near to annoy him as he was
busily engaged In gathering his store
of food for the snow time.
To the harvest hand 1t afforded pro-
lection at the end of the long row for
a brief respite and its corners formed
shaded hooks under which the water
jug might be kept.
And from what royal timber was
this old fence constructed! Black
walnut logs, chestnut logs and the
smooth lengths Of the ash tree were
cleft by numerous rail splitters for
the seven high" fence that stood the
storms of decades. There was many

WAR TAX MEASURE
PASSED BY SENATE
LARS IN 1919 AND FOUR
BILLION IN 1920
Revenue Measure Which Has Been
Before the Senate Since December
IL Now Goes to Conference,
Planned to Begin January 2.

Washngton.-With record vote,
the senate on December % passed the
war revenue bill, reduced to raise
about six billion dollars in 1919 and
four billion in 1920, as compared with
the levy of $S.200,O0000O for next
year, proposed in the bin passed by
the house three months ago.
When the final vote was taken at
10 40 O'Clock the senate had been in
continuous session for nearly thirteen
hours. Immediately after the passage
of the bill the senate began its holiday
vacation under the plan for three-day
recesSes until January 2. Absence of a
quorum in the house, however. had
prevented that body from putting a
similar program into effect.
The revenue bill, which had been be-
fore the senate since December L,
now goes to conference with formal
meetings of the senate and house man.
ayers, planned to begin January with
u view to final enactment Of the legis-
lation next month.
In disposing finally of controyerted
sections, the senate rejected, 50 to g.,
the substitute bill of Senator La Fol-
lette Of Wisconsin which proposed
higher rates principally on war-eXcess
profits and individual income sur
taxes.
Another vote on the second-class
postage question also was taken and
the senate sustained, Al to %, its pre-
yious action in favor of the amend
ment which will repeal the existing
zone rates of publications and substi-
tute rate OF 1 cent pound within
$50 miles and Ia cents pound be-
yond.
A change made in the automobile
tax section, provided for exemption of
trucks, tractors and trailers, reducing
the bill's estimated revenue yield by
about $30,000,000, but the reinsertion
of the luxury tax clause will result in
IN estimated yield of SSO,Oo0OO0.
The Inheritance tax plan proposes a
graduated levy ranging from per cent
OF inheritances between $4,000 and
$4,000 to % per cent on those over
$2,500,000.

REMEMBERED
and
FORGOTTEN
By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

The heart is hard in nature and unfit
For human fellowship, as being void
Of sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both, that is not
pleased
With sight of others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own"
At the beginning of the New Year
one should brush the dust off his list
of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out Of ones everyday
life without very good reason for
it. Making new acqualntances Is usu-
ally an easy matter. But to nurture
those acQunlntances until they bios
som into friends, cemented by loyalty
and consistency, is different problem.
A man or woman may count ac-
quaintances by the score-people who
invite them to their homes to dine, to
theater party. or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
they are still acquaintances only.
Friendship means much more than
this, while few actually understand 1t.
Many one has counted up hundred
so-called friends today. But If adver-
sity assails one tomorrow there may
not be one heart among the many one
could turn to for solace and cheer.
Not one pair of hands would be ex-
tended to draw one in from the cold,
the storm and darkness, If one Is sud-
denly bereft of shelter. Past benefits
are not remembered. Acquaintances
flud it easy to forget. Only friends re-
member the past and its hallowed
memories.
a woman will remember every detail

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports FROM druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
he's been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmcr's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad
wise our readers who feel in need of such
remedy to give it trial 1t is on sale
at ell drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.--Adv.

of her courtship-where she first met
her lover, their introduction, the i'm
preston she formed of him at first
sight. She even remembers what her
reveries were and her wondcrment as
to whether or not he thought of her.
She remembers each call he made; all
that was said or done; how she had
detected his growing love for her even
before he guessed 1t himself. She re-
members the hour of their bethrothal
and the conversation that brought it
quite Unexpectedly about.
As for the man she married, not one
man in hundred can remember what
emotion swept across his heart at his
first meeting with her whom he was
to love evermore till death did them
part. Ninety-nine men out of a hun
dred will confess to their wives. "Im
blest If l just know just how l hap
pened to propose to you." When
man can forget that most thrilling of
all moments In his life he can forget
anything. Such men find 1t very easy
to forget their wlfe's or chlldren's
birthdays, realizing that remembrance
would call for presents.
Many wives are glad to have the chill
dren not forgotten. But they are just
as well satisfied that he has forgotten
Vow swiftly time is running away with
their good looks and aging theEi.
Last, and by no means least, no man
or woman, no matter how happily mar
ried, should allow the old folks at home
to imagine themselves forgotten by
them. 1t doesn't take much time to
write few lines once in fortnight.
We should always remember not to for
get those who have been dear to us.
