didate for attorney general, said that
he resented the effort being made tc
create the war as campaign issue.
He said that in his opinion fully SO
per cent. of the people OF the State
are behind the administration and in
formation going out that the war ID
an issue is bound to be misinterpreted
by the outside world, which does not
understand the issue.
The tax question took part OF the
time of some of the candidates. Robt
A. Cooper, asserted that he could NOT
promise to reduce the taxes if prog
ress of the State is to continue. Both
Mr.. McLaurin and Major Richards de-
parted, disputed that there could not
be a reduction in taxation. MIR. Nc
Laurin said that the tax commission
was an effort in the right direction,
but the fundamental theory on which
it is working is wrong. He said THAI
the creation of the commission was
the first intelligent effort made for
the solution of the tax problem.

pended The poor people do not pay
the taxes, he asserted. Those who
own property are the ones who are
assessed heavily.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS NON.
TAXABLE.

When preparing for the issuing
Of Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Certificates the national administra-
tration very wisely decided that
they should not be subject to any
taxes, federal, state or local. In
this respect they are entirely
unique, being free when almost ev-
erythins else is subject to inpost.
As the amount that an individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this
concession does not deaf unjustIy
toward other security holders.
1t is simply an inducement TO the
small investor to make an unusual
effort in his own and his country's
behalf by depositing as much of his
surplus with the government az
possible. Those who buy these lie

rhe state of MestsyIvania.

The 'province and government Of

the settlers in the southwest of Penn
sylvania and the adjacent territory for
the creation of a new state. 1t origi-
mated in connection with the troubles
between Virginia and Pennsylvania,
and the scheme was brought forward
early in July, 1776. A description OF
the proposed government defines the
bounds as beginning at the eastern
branch of the Ohio opposite the mouth
of the Scioto and running thence in
direct line to the Owasioto pass, thence
to the top of the Allegheny mountains,
thence with the top of the said mount
tains to the northern limits of the pur-
chase made from the Indians in 116S at
the treaty of Fort Stanwix, thence

GRAZING WHITE HOUSE LAWN
President Wilson Sets Example Which
Might Be Followed by Owners
Of Large Grass Plots.

prepared by the United states Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
When q flock of sheep appeared not
long ago on the green sward of the
White House grounds, a desire to
match the President" in helping to
Increase the country's mutton and wool
supply was manifested by many per-
sons whose responsibility covered big
lawns, golf courses and city parks.
Many public parks, golf courses, and
private lawns in the country may be so
situated that they can profitably be
made to serve as grazing grounds for
sheep. 1t is believed that their use
for grazing sheep would have not only
q sentimental value but a practical one.
But owners and persons charged with
the care of such property are advised
to investigate the matter thoroughly
before they embark in the enterprise
of raising sheep. Sheep raising in
wolves much more than placing the an
imals in good pasture. 1t has its
technical side, and at present, when ev-
cry pound of wool and every pound of
meat is needed, it is felt that expert

To Mention Fursl

To mention furs in hot weather is an
offense, but-short furs are to trim
cloth suits and coats next season, and
l~ong-haired furs will be seen on plush
coats. Among next winters model
costumes Hudson seal is of great i'm
p%ortance, particularly on cloth coats.
One smart model In buff-tan velours is
an example of this it has a Hudson
seal collar and cuffs and the combina-
ton is pleasing. Then beaver and
nutria are also good. These shorter
furs are liked on cloth coats but for
the rich pushes which are shown ex-
tensively raccoon, oppossum and
skunk are important in the order
named. Fur fabric trimmings will be
in good style among the ~fashionably
dressed again also.

"Speed up!" is the call from Sur
geon General Gorgas to the American
Red Cross in It's campaign to recruit
graduate nurses.
With the American army overseas
entering more and more into the fight
ing, he said, the need for additional
nurses becomes imperative.
The call is for 1000 graduate nurses
a week for the mex eight weeks, or
5000 by October /, for the whole
country.
The states in Central division-nli-
nois. Iowa. Michigan, Nebraska and
Wisconsin-have been enrolling gradu-
ate nurses steadily for military and
naval service, but will redouble their
efforts to meet this urgent request.
The public a help by urging every
graduate nurse to enroll with the Red
Cross, and also by reducing calls upon
using practical nurses wherever prac-
ticable and learning how to handle
simple ailments in the home without
outside help.
waste not, want not will be a new
Red Cross slogan.
Upon request of the war Industries
board the American Red Cross will
undertake a new line of work, the con-
servation of materials now going to
waste.
This salvage campaign will be d.
rected by a bureau of conserva-
tlon at National Red Cross headquar-
ters in Washington and will call for
cooperation by chapters throughout
the country acting upon instructions
given through division headquarters.
While the Red Cross will get the
benefit of the material saved or col
lected, the primary purpose is not to
raise funds for the Red Cross but to
save materials needed In the winning
of the war.

HIGHWAY BUILDING FOR WAR
Roads Back of English Army Built and
Cared for Under Direction of
General Maybury.

The roads back of the English army
r being built and cared for under
the direction of Gen. H. p. Maybury,
who was one of the English county en-
gineers and was afterward one Of the
engineers on the road board in Eng.
land.
Back of one of the British armies
a lieutenant colonel, n of General
Maybury's subordinates, has had
charge of the roads for two years, and
has had from 1000 to 1000 men work
ing on them constantly. Twenty-Five
or 80 per cent of these have been Ger
man prisoners.
In order to keep the roads merely
passable they have had to use up to
1000 tons of material a day. Broken
stone costs $3.50 a on. 1t isn't a ques.
ton of cost, however; it is q question
of keeping the traffic going.
