MINE TAXATION PROBLEM.

The last Utah legislature enacted 3 Ter cent occupation tax affecting mines only, and they refuse to pay nearly million dol lars state tax for 1918 under the one-si led law
 Several western states that have been very prosperous owing to big metal prcdu' tons of the mines are planning legislative ac ton looking to further taxation of mines.
 Within few years normal prices under world peace will leave the mines in no condi- ton to pay the big war taxes and legislators may kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
 The mining industry in most western states is the greatest source of prosperity, be- sides paying the bulk of state taxes and fed eral war taxes for some years to come.
 One thing is certain, unless state consti- tuition provides for taxing special classes Of property, occupation tax mines alone will not stand. It is dangerous class leg1sla- tion.
 Don't forget your War Savings pledge for 1918. There remains only few more days in which to make your pledge good.

THE MOTHER CALLS.

(By Daniel B. Doran.) Written for the Christmas Roll Call of the American Red Cross.)
 Who can hear mother calling
 And unheediDg pass her by? Who can hear her soft voice falling, x Hear her artless pleading cry, Know her heart is sad with grieving,
 Know her eyes are filed with tears And go by her, Unperceiving
 Down the weary, dreary years? Listen then, for she is calling
 Greatest Mother of the World, She has seen the tear drops falling
 Where her banners are unfurled, She has heard her strong crying,
 Yea, her noble sons and true, She has seen them wounded, dying,
 And this day she calls to you. Aye, she calls, the Greatest Mother,
 And her cry breaks on the heart, With sadness that no other
 Half so poignant i,npart; Aye, she calls and you must hear her, You must quell her doubt and fear, Heed that call and draw ye near her,
 Heed that cry and answer "Here!"

The ten thousand Home Service Sec tions of the Ameri&an Red Cross, in their work of looking after the fami- lies of the enlisted men, are doing won- ders for the morale of the army. Our fighters are not men who are going to worry about themselves, but if they do not get cheerful letters from home. or if anything goes wrong there, they are going to worry, and that delicate thing the army men call morale is going to be disturbed. It is to safeguard against this and also to prevent need less suffering and to promote that spir- it of neighbOrliness and kindly aid that binds each community into an organic whole that the Home Service was or ganiZed.
 Over 50,000 workers are serving on these ten thousand committees, which react into every corner of the country, however remote. Not town or vil- lage or crossroads that is not within reach of the Red Cross; not a wife or child or mother of man in service who cannot claim the ready aid of the Red Cross workers.
 More than 300000 families of Ameri- can soldiers and sailors have been re- lieved of money troubles legal difficult ties and worries of all sorts by the protecting arm of the Red Cross. If the allowances of allotments under the War Risk Insurance law do not come the matter is at once referred to Red Cross Headquarters, taken up with the proper government bureau and prompt ly strengthened out. If, through the delay, the family finds itself in need of money sums are advanced to tide it over until the allotment arrives. Dur ing July over sixty thousand inquiries of this kind were received, and more than third of these were taken clear through to headquarters before they could be strengthened out.

KINGSTREE HIGH AND
GRADED SCHOOL NOTES.

! We are all anxious to begin active
work for the Junior Red Cross. The
first things that the little folks will
| make are washcloths from old coun.
terpanes or towels and quilts from
wooden scraps. while the older ones
will begin knitting as soon as the
yarn comes. At present the larger
boys are making a regulation Red
Cross packing box to be used in
shipping our garments.
We need more money for the Ju-
nior Red Cross and hope to raise it
by two entertainments at the school.
The first. to be given Friday night
week, will be a patriotic pageant,
rendered by the pupils, with a mu-
sical program. The other will be
given by the Furman college glee
club in March. Attend both and help
the Red Cross.

a gown that has nine lives, like a

given by the Fashion Art League at

were for the benefit of the apparel
unit of the Women's Overseas Hos

The gown of nine lives, designed by
ALA Ripley, Of Chicago, is fashioned
on a satin foundation, with various
sets of sleeves, which slip on by means
OF net bodice. There are also sew

sleeves, and others which can be worn
with no sleeves at all for evening
functions. There is serge tunic for

Bomb Suspect Says
Detective Lit Fuse

NEWARK, N. j., Aug. 1.-William
Heinemeier, also known as Heinemap
charged jointly with Dr.. Frederick "
Blschoff with attempting to blow ur
the Gould & Eberhardt factory in Irv.
lngton last Saturday morning, denied
his guilt to United States ATTORNEY
Charles F. Lynch to-day. He had
pleaded guilty to lighting the bomb
and placing it at the factory when ar
raigned before United States Commits
sloner Feeney last Saturday. Bischotf
who also pleaded guilty when ar,
raIgned, repudiated the plea Monday.
Helnemeier, who was questioned bv
Mr., Lynch and Department of Justice
men for several hours, said that he
thought he was pleading guilty to hav-
ing been present when the bomb was
discovered. Mr.. Lynch says the pris-
oner told him that he went to the fac
tory with Bischoff and the New York
detective, who posed as German
baron, for the purpose of meeting I.
man who was to give them work.
He denied knowledge that a bomb
was carried from the MOTEL to the fac
tory. The first he knew about a bomb
he told Mr.. Lynch, was when the detec-
tive produced it and lighted it from a
burning cigarette, At the point Of a
revolver, he said, he was forced to
carry. the bomb to the power house
and leave it at the door. He and
Blschotf were then ordered to hold up
their hands, and were held until EN-
ployes from the shop arrived.
