ven In laying the foundation for HIS
reply, "can only be Appropriated; as
estimated now they amount TO $1,000
100000. We have an enormous debt,
from the standpoint Of a country the
size Of Belgium, for military expendi-
lures alone - s6OO,OOO,OO0. Then we
have SSO0,OOO,OOO used by the COM
mission for relief in Belgium. Many
other items have increased that debt.
For instance, the war taxes imposed
by Germany on Belgium amount to
$3.50 100000, having risen from 49,
900 900 to $12,OOO,OOO a month
"This does not include special ex-
tortions on cities and individuals and
acquisitions. All this, as I said, makes
for Belgium an enormous debt. How
are we going to make that up? One
way would be to impose tax on the
inhabitants. That, however, would
mean the ruin of Belgium.
"There is only one way" said Prof
Van Den Ven, in turning with en-
phasis to the main answer to the
question, "a way that is in accord
ance with the law of justice; 1t is to
see that all those expenses caused by
the invasion by Germany be paid by
Germany. The robber should repay
his victim"

.FORETASTE OF WHAT IS
TO COME IN MAYSVILLE
And This Rise Is Only Temporary,
Manufacturers Tell Us.

Tuesdays Cincinnati Enquirer
hands out this comforting" bit of
news to smokers in this city:
Men accustomed to enjoying cigar
or two during the day, or puff on
cigarette now and then, yesterday
morning thought that a new edict of
the Board of Health, calculated to ELI
inmate the smoking habit altogether,
had gont into effect when they walked
up to the cigar counter to purchase
their facorite smoke. Over Sunday it
seemed that a complete new schedule
of prices had been arranged just for
the purpose of separating the smoker
from larger quantities of his available
cash, thereby adding in no small de-
gree to the general high cost of living
and smoking.
Effective November practically all
popular brands of cigars which less
than year ago sold at five cents each,
and later went to six cents, became a
seven-cent proposition, in most in
stances, however, going to the con-
sumner at three for 20 cents. Cigars
which have been selling at Z cents of
late now bring cents straight over
the counter. Clear Havana stock is
up in varying amounts depending up
on the quality of the cigar. The gen.
eral rise in prices is not confined to
large cigars, for small cigars, manu-
featured to retail in packages, ad-
vanced from 20 to 35 per cent. Cigar
cites are included in the new schedule
also, although many brands made the
change at different times during the
past two months.
Cigars manufacturers, jobbers and
dealers are agreed that present prices
are but temporary, and that further
increases will be necessary when The
war tax measure now pending in
Congress becomes law. Most stog-
les will bring five cents each under
the new order of things. In fact, sew
eral popular brands are already SELL
ing at that figure.

some FACTORS IN
SUCCESSFUL FARMING
Large Business Necessary for Large
Profits, Says Report of Survey
Farm Practices in South
western Kentucky.

Washington, d. C.-However skill
full or energetic farmer may be, or
however fertile his land, he can not
hope for great profits in general farm
ing If his business business is on a
small scale, according to Bulletin 713,
recently published by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
covering a report of survey of 342
f rms in southwestern Kentucky.
While crop yields, returns from live
stock, type of farming, diversity, and
selection and proportioning of crops
and live stock factors which directly
affect farm profits, the success of the
business in general farming depends
to a very large degree upon it's size
1t should be kept in mind, the bulle-
tin adds, that maintaining soil fer
tility is as important as obtaining pro-
fits, and this is done on the ordinary
diversified farms to a large extent by
crop rotations and a proper system Of
keeping live stock.
In the area surveyed 90 farmers on
farms of less than 100 acres made an
average labor income of only $S1; 60
farms, avering ESQ acres, averaged
1856; and 46 farms, averaging 715
acres, averaged $1,193 labor income
The farms showing highest earnings
Ter acre were better stocked, had
greater diversity, less idle and waste
land, and better economy in utlliza-
ton of horse labor. Farms over 400
acres in size averaged about 100 pro-
ductive days work per horse, while
farms under 10 acres averaged but
about 80 days. The cost Of man Ia
Dor was also lower on the large farms
Many farmers were able to increase
the size of their business and add to
their income by renting additional
land.
Next in Importance to size of bust
ness in profitable farming is crop
yield. While high yields are essential
they should be made economically for
it is possible to secure them at too
great expense. In the section sur
veyed the keeping of live stock is one
Of the most important factors in main
tanning good crop yields. This prac-
tire also enables the utilization of

e Gdstuffs on the farm by feeding
ii I'm. Generally speaking, the bulle-
til states, on large and medium-sized
farms from one-half to two-thirds of
the total farm receipts should come
from. live stock.
IN addition to general information
relative to successful farm practices
in the area surveyed, the bulletin de-
scribes in detail the farm management
of five farms which, in general, illus
trate good standards for organization
in the section.
