What We Will Pay On.

County Judge W. S. Sinclair, County
Attorney w. A. Coffev and Mr.. J. R.
Garrett went to Frankfort last week
in the interest of the County. The
tax Board, now in session, had raised
Adair county as follows: $500, 200 on
farm lands; $4,000 on tangible per-
sonal property, and $4,000 on town
lots. After presenting the matter
the delegation from Adair succeeded
in getting 100000 off the lands, and
it took some persuasion to convince
the board that it would be just to
lower the tax AS it now stands Adair
will pay the raise of $780, on lands;
s150,0O0 on tangle personal property
and s45, 900 on town lots. Notwith-

If he wont defend his country,
He is hardly worth a d-m,
And nothing but a nuisance
In the eyes of Uncle Sam.
From eighteen years to forty,
He's supposed to volunteer,
And buckle on his armor
With but little sign of fear;
But you'll find him chasing dollars,
Playing games or at dance,
For he'd rather 60 to hill

We're not disposed to grumble,
But we think it mighty queer
That the soldier drinks the water,

MAKES SACRIFICE FOR SONS
Spirit of Self-Deniai Shown by Little New York Jew as Beautiful as
 It Is Rare.

Essex and Delaney streets are the heart of the great many-tongued city which lives over near East river the Ghetto. The streets are always crowded-crowded with bearded men, old women with shawls and sheitels, eager dark-eyed children; handsome girls, and young men clothed in the East sides version of what Fifth ave hue wears.
 On the corner year in and year out Is a little Galician Jew. His small shrunken face Is smeared dark by the stubble of a sparse beard; his flat lit- tie derby is pushed down over his ears: his clothes are mere covering. For years he has been peddllng the large salt pretzels which are strung on sticks and stand upright from his basket.
 He never tries to force a sale. lie never solicits patronage. He lives in A little room over a small bakery. He speaks very little English-and yet In a large Eastern college there are two of his sons being educated so that they will not have to live the life of drudg- cry the father has led. And the world-weary little father is paying the bills by Self-denlal.

War Strain Causes Nerve Shock.

The term shell shock has misled many persons to believe that 1t is due to the profound impression or shock produced on the nervous system by the detOnatiOns of high explosives.
 No doubt, there are cases of actual brain or nerve injury due to concus- sion of the air accompanying shell e1- plosions, but these mechanical causes are a great deal less frequently re- sponsible for war neuroses than the mental effects of general war strain. It Is remarkable that these war heu- roses, common as they are among pri- yates and officers alike, are seldom found In men who have been actually wounded. Perhaps this seeming anom- ally is due to the actual wound shock offsettlng the mental impression af- fecting the controlling nerve-center In such caseS.-Popular Science Monthly.

PROBABLY SET HIM THINKING
Reply of War Department Official to SIaeker's Requcst Might Almost
 Be Called Caustic.

The following letter, addressed to a certain branch of the war department, and dated from a town somewhere in the West, arrived in Washington few days ago:
 Dear Sirs: lam young man who would like to get into the fray against the kaiser and his hordes. I am twen- ty-one years of age, of splendid phy- slque, being five feet and ten inches In height. I weigh about 1S0 pounds, nm quite an athlete and graduate of the local high school. Together with these qualifications, have had con- siderable experience in business, hay ing managed for some time various automobile agencies. am quite fa- miliar with many kinds of automobiles.
 T would like a position in some branch of the war department as a typewriter and stenographer."
 The officer to whom this letter came for a reply has seen considerable ac- tive service, not only In this war, but In others. He notified his stenographer that he would write a personal answer to the young man who desired war service. A portion of his letter was as follows: -.

He has splendid education and has been considered quite an athlete. You have the advantage of him in business; he has never had any business experience.

Eoch Keen Student of War.

General Foch, like General Jofrre, is a home lover and avoids society. He is said to live In small fiat near his office, when not at the front, and to be devoted to his family. The con yentions of society bore him. Like the proverbial Engllshman, he Is fond of taking long walks, and never knows when he is beaten. His saying that "the battle Is never lost until It's loss is admitted" is famous and indicates not only his military wisdom, but his sane and courageous philosophy. AL ready master of strategy before the war, he has not been slow to learn the new lessons of the present conflict; {; rather, indeed, has he developed added initiative, decision and military audac- ity. .ata 1

It was very interesting in- deed, aud the streets were lined with children begging for pennies and cigarettes, and old men and women leading COWS and carrying tirr wood, and in fact everything imaginable. The peasant garb of the inhabitants was very interest ing, especially the wooden shoes.
 Our rest camp was inside a wall enclosure built by Napoleon, so wa were told, as a prison camp, and 1t most certainly shows its age, although the walls and buildings seem to be as solid as ever.

Gas We'll Finally Irramed.n

Out in the sagebrush-covered wastes of eastern Washington there has just been tanned big gas well, and deVel- opment work on the property Is now under way. The flow of gas was dis covered three years ago, when a mis- guided settler drilled for water and had four-inch pipe blown out of the ground. A year later passerby threw a lighted match Into the gas and for IS months the well burned day and night, a beacon visible for miles around. A few months ago the old well was capped, the gas used to pro vide fuel for a modern drilling engine, and an 1S-inch pipe has just been sunk into the gas reservoir.

Systematic Stripping of Industry Before the Day of Reck-
 oning.
INDIGNATION IS WIDESPREAD
Even Officials Responsible to kalsers
 Government Forced by Public to Give Voice to Emphatic f Protests.

Amsterdam.-German carpetbaggers ape overrunnlng Alsace to grab all property confiscated by the state ui- der various pretexts. Indignation among the people is widespread. and even officials responsible to the kai- ser's government are forced by public opinion to give voice to emphatic pro- tests.
 Alsace is great industrial center and one of its principal industries is the manufacture of textiles. Most of the textile factories in Alsace were taken over by the state as war meas ure. As some of the stockholders were Frenchmen, the mills, 1t was alleged, were partly enemy alien property. So the state took charge of the mills and prepared to liquidate them. This Equi- datlon was carried out recently. Alsatian business men and capital ists had formed a corporation to buy the mills in an effort to keep them in Alsatlan hands. Even city administra- tions, such as the municipality or Muhlhausen, where a number of fac tories are situated, bought stock In this corporation. The name of the corporation Is the United Alsstian Tex tile Factories.

 tile Factories.
 Forbidden by Berlin.
 But 1t was decided in Berlin that the Alsatians should not be allowed to buy what was practically their own. An other concern, called the Bleichroeder group, was more successful. Their bid for the property was accepted by the government, while the Alsatian of- fer was rejected. It was announced the Blelchroeder bid was preferred be- cause It accepted state supervision as one of the conditions of the sale. Baron von Stein, undersecretary of state, In defending the governments action be- fore the main committee of the relchs- tag. said the Bleichroeder group had offered a million marks more than the Alsatian corporation. Besides, the AL satians had refused to subscribe to the conditions, including state supervision of management.
 Consternation and indignation reigned at the meeting Of the city council of Muhlhausen when the gov ernment's decision was made known by Mayor Zopfel. He said not only had the offer of the Alsatian corpora ton, of which the city of Muhlhausen itself was a component part, been re- jected by the government, but he also had been informed on good authority all the other Alsauan factories to be liouidated would be sold to "old-Ger- man" concerns beyond the Rhine.
 RuthIessnsss Condemned.
 This attempt to Germanize Alsace by ruthless industrial methods was condemned by several members of the city council. Councillor Emmel de- nounced as subterfuge the statement of Undersecretary won Stein, who had said the Blelchroeder offer had been accepted because 1t was the more favorable one. The speaker saw In the governments action a systematic effort to take Alsatian property away from Alsatians. | The Bleichroeder group, the success full bidder, is headed by the banking house of Bleichroeder in Berlin.
