II was the fancful idea Of the Ger
mans that when the people OF the
United States began to read the long
casualty lists in the newspapers they
would at once become active opponents
Of the war and demand that the Unit
ed States withdraw from It, At least
the German people were fed up on
this idea Just as they were assured
that America would not get into the
war could not get into the war and
under no circumstances would our
troops be effective In the war. OF
course the effect has been Just con
trary to what the Germans said 1t
would be- The casualty lists have
made people more determined than
ever 10 fight this war to finish. We
all know how It makes the soldiers
feel to have their companions shot
down beside them, and In way the
American people feel the same degree
Of intense hatred against the German
nation which has caused this immense
loss Of life and the woundlng and
manning Of so many men. The CaSu-
atty lists are of course sad thing
for our people but they have not had
the result that the Germans claimed
for them ever since this government
entered the war.

1t Is no pleasant task TO lay
taxes. People may have an idea
that the ways and means committee
and the finance committee take great
pleasure In making revenue bills for
the purpose of imposing taxation on
people. That is far from the truth. II
Is n fact that both these committees
are most sought after by men who
want good committee positions, and It
might be assumed It was because they
took pleasure In imposing taxation.
But taxation now Is very different from
that In peace times. Government
taxes were not very heavy IN the days
before the war, although there was
great deal Of hot air expended upon
the subject Of Cumbersome taxation"

1t has always been thought that any
activity or boom that brings lots Of
money to a town is good thing
Washington is suffering from too much
money. There is too much money be-
ing spent In Washington. There Is
more money than commodities. AS u
consequence all prices have gone sky
high and 1t Is almost impossible to
obtain labor especially domestic labor,
while the prices paid for all kinds OF
foodstuffs and clothing are from 20 to
30 per cent higher than In other cities.
The people who have to buy, who have
TO pay for all commodities, would like
10 see a part Of this prosperity trans
ferred to other cities.

sions to teach them how 10 farm. 1--WE
do not want that sort OF thing In the

what we do need is men 10 aid In har-
vesting and saving the crops We
want 10 save the tens Of thousands of
bushels Of potatoes that rottcd IN The

wheat that Is grown, 50 that II can be

words, We want men TO take care Of

OUTLOOK FOR ROAD MAKING
Rather Dubious on Account of Short
!, age of L-abor-Decided Reforms
Should Be Made.

With the shortage of labor for road
making and the more general use of
the roads for heavy hauling, it is like
Iy that the roads as they exist will not
he able to withstand the hard usage.
and the outlook is dubious for the au-
lomobile. Many Industrial companies
are making use of fleets of trucks TO
deliver their goods, instead of subject
ing themselves to the uncertainties of
the railroad service and the Wear and
tear on the roads thus made use Of is
more than they can take care of. This
more than ever, makes it evident that
there should be some very decided re-
forms made i'll the matter Of road
building. The makeshift repairs which
have heretofore been made are not
now sufficient, and all new road-build-
ing work should be made on the most
substantial lines.

SECRET OF IMPROVED ROADS
Every Farmer Must Do His Part in
Keeping Highways Dragged
Work Is Appreciated.

The secret of good roads is for every
farmer to do his part in keeping them
dragged, according to the Lyman Coun-
ty Farm Bureau News. County Agent
Lewallen writes further: Road drag
ging fits in about the best of any work
on the farm, for a fellow can drag
for a few hours when it is too wet to
get into the field. and he certainly ap-
preciates having it when it is time to
90 to town with the wagon or the auto.
Farmers who have dragged the roads
have the thanks Of all other farmers in
the country and the praise of oil Wis
itors. But the roll of honor should be
increased.
''It seems queer that so easily con-
structed an implement as road drag
can create such wonders on heavy
roads. The best way to convince your
self is to drag your own stretch OF
road. If you have already dragged
it every farmer who has gone over it
is talking about it and wishing to
goodness that you had gone on a couple
of miles farther"

bring exceptionally large prices, be-
cause at those times relatively little
fruit is being marketed from other dis
tricts.
In the further extension of the peach
industry, the selecting of locations
with reference to this factor is likely
to contribute more to the financial sue
cess of the enterprise than the mere
choosing of varieties that do well, but
without regard to the time when they
ripen in comparison with the peach
season of other districts.
Thus, a peach grower in New Jer-
sey may know that the Greensboro
peach does well under his conditions,
but that he cannot market it to ad-
vantage when there is good crop Of
Elberta peaches in Georgia, though II
is profitable in seasons Of light crops
in Georgia. Similarly the SalWay
peach was formerly profitable varie-
| ty to grow in some parts Of California,
but in certain sections of that state 1t
cannot now compete to advantage with
the Elberta peach from Colorado. Ac-
cordingly, the Salway peach is not
found in many of the younger orchards
n certain districts of California IN
which it was formerly a variety OF
considerable prominence.

There is usually d chance for the
