Ii You Own Cows

1t will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine. Kim
halls Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-monthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
huh of the great dairy region of the
central west. IT is ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
somely illustrated by actua! photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his cows yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis.
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
so cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira
tion. Send for sample copy.

same allowance for children. This
added 1912 to his payable" column.
He then observed that for every
/ $500 jump in his income over $1,000
lie had TO pay a Surtax, the percentage
growing larger with each jump. This
was $3.50 more added to his burden
And on top of all this came an "Ex-
cess Profits" tax of per cent. on all
Occupation" income over $6,000 max
ing $720 more.
The total, then, he must pay was four
teen hundred and thirty-four dollars.
"Wheww exclaimed Mr. Simpkins
angrily. "There's young Henry Will
kins, who married Jake JOhnson's girl,
he makes $1,000 and he doesn't pay a
cent of taxes. guess this is his war
as we'll rs mine!"
Thinking of young Henry Wilkins,
he remembered that Mrs. wilkins went
every afternoon to make bandages for
the Red Cross and that Henry, who
, was a lawyer, was aiding the Local
Draft Board with its questiOnnaires.
"Well," he admitted to himself
"that makes a difference"
He thought next of Judge Willough-
by. whose income was about $4,000.
"He only pays 500" commented Mr.
Smpkins, not quite so angrily this
time and then a thought struck him
and he sat up rigidly in his chair.
Judge WillOughby's son had been
drowned on the TuScania when it was
summarized with the loss of two hun
dred soldiers.
Judge Willoughby gave his son to
America" muttered Mr.. Simpkins.
He leaned forward suddenly and put
his face in his hands.
For a long time Mr. Simpkins sat
very still in that position. There was
no sound in the library except the
ticking of the tall clock and an occa-
sional trill of laughter from the chill
dren skylarking upstairs. The square
of light on the carpet gradually with
drew itself through the window, and
first twilight and then darkness settled
in about the quiet, white haired, some
times irascible old man.
Mr.. Simpkins was thinking things
which he would never afterward speak
of, he was thinking things that were
too sacred ever to be put into words.
But some inkling of his thoughts may
be found in his rejOinder to Mrs.
Simpkins when that placid lady came
in and turned on the lights, and asked
him whether he was ready for dinner.
Judge WillOughby's only son was
worth as much as fourteen hundred
and thirty-four dollars, wasn't he?"
Mr.. Simpkins demanded of her.
AS his wife. who was not unused to
his superficial rritations, watched him
in mild astonishment, Mr.. Simpklns
limped out to the hall and took his
old felt hat and silver-headed cane
from the hat rack. Letting himself out
into the foggy evening, he tapped his
way down to the corner, and mailed his
income tax statement and check with
his own hands.
"Now, God be thanked" said Mr..
Simpkins as the lid clanked shut over
his missive, II can do this much for
my country, anyhow"

Columbus, O.-Can it be possible

When the request was made, ii.

workers declare they are in earnest.
They contend that caharets are cauS-

are driving Ohio dry. and after Ohio
becomes dry what will the brewery
workers do. These brewery workers

WHERE WITHALL SHALL
We BE WARMED Z
Thank God it's no worsel"


This is a pious ejaculation usable
as q comforter no matter how painful
a situation may be.
I The present heat famine, which is
vAriously charged to the coal miners,
distributors, railroads, eleven fuel con-
trollers, the governor, or president or
Providence, would be very, very much
more cruelty severe If Ohio were not
the state having the greatest number
OF consumers of natural gas. So, the
situation might be worse-much
worsel
Reports filed with the public utili-
ties commission show that 3,S00,000
persons In this state use natural gas
for light and warmth and for cooking,
and that is about three out of four OF
us who won't have to burn the fuTni-
ture while awaiting the mercy OF fuel
administrators.
The coal shortage has increased the
demand for natural gas.
Mr.. McKibben, who made a survey
Of the gas situation for the public
utilities commission a year ago, re-
ported that the production of natural
gas was not keeping up with the in
crease in its use. He at that time ad-
vised the public to lay in winter coal
in the fall, but afterward DR.. Garfield
said, mo, wait. Coal will be cheaper.
Tools and toilers have increased in
nf
$4,000 instead of $4,000 to bore an
exploratory hole, and no water-witch
can tell where gas can be found. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are spent
In exploration each year in Ohio alone.
Other facts which may influence the
number of wells drilled is, the cost OF
pipe to carry the product from it has
increased, within four years, from
$32.00 ton to above $4,000 and emer
gency orders have been placed at
$4,000 ton, and labor to bury it
costs twice as much, too.
The advance in wages and metals
has trapped the gas producers. Nearly
all city ordinances fix the price of gas
for period of ten years, and the com.
panies now are forced to deliver their
product at the price agreed upon as
fair before the European war when
costs were half as much.
City councils thinking it unpopular
to play fair with gas corporations in.
slst that the contracts be carried out,
although it will bankrupt the gas com.
panies.
In Ohio, every council appealed to.
so far, has refused to so readjust the
rate that the company could earn ex-
penses.
Is it not likely that if the gas and
other public corporations should put
all the circumstances of their business
before their consumers that council
men would find it popular to advance
rates to a point which would make
good service possible and leave some
money as interest on the investment?

GETTING MONEY FOR
PUBLIC SERVICE cos.
A Typical Experience Of One Who
Tries to Secure Money Needed to
Extend an Electric Light
Plant.

City service corporations are re-
Quired to add extensions to their
plants as the public demands. The
rapid, recent growth of many Ohio
towns has required utilities to secure
added capital. The doubling of costs
of operation and maintenance have
consumed surplusses.
How will they get the necessary
money?
Not long ago Mr.. E. X. Hall of the
Electric Bond and Share company,
N. Y, gave a typical dialogue show
ing the difficulty of getting new
money for extending a utility, as fol-
lows:
You say to the man, I'VE would
like you to come right in with us;
come in as a stockholder."
How much do you pay on your
stock?"
Right now we are paying four per
cent"
"How much is your stock selling
for on the market?"
Selling for about $50, but we will
sell you new stock for $100 a share.
We are not allowed to issue it at
less than par"
mo, thank you; don't believe I'll
come in, but I'll tell you what I'll do.
l will loan you some money if you
will give me good security"
We say, "All right"
He says, What can you give me
for security?"
We say, ITO tell the truth. every
thing we have got except the office
boys Ingersoll watch is mortgaged al
ready"
Now, under these circumstances,
we don't get very far in financing ex-
tensions, or improvements, do we?
What is the result? The result is that
we have a crippled company; we have
a company that is not up to date;
that can give the service the public
wants and there is no progress. This
really is the fundamental problem OF
regulation today.

MIR, STNPKINS PAYS
HIS INCOME TAX
By ROBERT McBLAIR.

Mr.. Simpkins gaZed at the portrait
on the wall till his eyes filled with
tears. 1t was a portrait of his father,
Colonel Simpkins, who had four times
been promoted for valOr during the
Civil War and had died bravely on the
field of action. Mr.. Simpkins' throat
achPd now for two reasons: First, he
reyerenced and adored the memory of
his father; secondly, his age and his
eyes and his game leg wouldn't let him
go to war himself. And as he observed
the martial bearing and uncompromis-
ing gaze of Colonel Simpkins he saw,
In Imagination, the khaBi-Clad lads of
the new generation marching forth and
crossing three thousand miles Of sea to
fight, maybe die, for liberty
Mr. Simpkins peered around to make
sure that neither BeSs nor John (whO
were at the teasing ages of sixteen
and seventeen) were where they could
see him, then he Strengthened and
threw his right arm up for salute.
But his gOuty shoulder twinged, and he
groaned. He couldn't even salute.
Damn - said Mr.. Simpkins, and
with his other hand fer, -ly twirled his
white mustaChios.
He turned and limped into the Ii
brary and sat down creakily before the
mahogany desk on which were lying
the blanks for his income tax state
ment, blanks which he had rather
grumpily got from the Internal Reve-
nue. officer only that day after lunch
con on his way home from the club.
Mr.. Simpkins' income for 1917 had
amounted to just about $4,000, and he
had been rather snappy on the sub
ject of taxes ever since he had discov-
cred that the more income a man has
the greater the percentage of it he
pays in taxes. He could think of sew
eral men who, like himself, were mar
ried and had two children, and yet,
although their incomes were nearly
half of his they would pay only
small fraction of the amount he paid.
He gloomily drew the blank nearer
and began filling in the information
that it asked for.
AS Mr.. Simpkins' income was $4,000
he had to figure out the amounts pay
able on each of the successive smaller
classes of incomes in order to arrive
at the total due from himself. He
passed over the first class who must
pay taxes, that is, single men making
ever 1000. His calculation for mar
ried men then showed up as follows:
First, they pay per cent (under
the 1916 law on all income over
$4,000, deducting 5000 for each of their
children under eighteen years. In Mr..
Slmpkins' case this was $212, which he
put down in the payable" column.
He saw next that, under the 1917
law, married men pay an additional 2
on all over $2,OO0-with the

Thrift Stamps.

the parents of the complainants
failed to educate them in thrift.
Usually these are uttered by those
past middle age, who have moth
ing laid aside for a rainy day."
Quite likely they failed to become
thrifty because there was no ex
ample provided to go hand in hand
with the Lrecepts to save.
There is wonder that nearly ev-
cry foreigner who came to our
shores from certain quarters of
Europe was saving. Inquiry will
prove that in each of these quar-
ters there was provided an easy
method of depositing earnings.
In Switzerland every other per-
son--554 out of 10O0-had prior
to 1914, a savings account. While
children they were taught to save
their pennies and put them in the
postal bank or other institutions
near at hahd. Thus they acquir.
ed the habit of laying away a GER
tain portion of their surplus. AL
most every habit has the same
tendency to cling, the good as
we'll as the bad.
Some parents in the United
States recently have bought bonds
for their children on the Install
ment plan, hoping that this will
serve to stimulate their thrift
ness. This is commendable and
effective, too. But it would be
far better if the children were to
be trained 10 handle these things
for themselves. 1t is therefore
recommended that they become
interested in the Thrift Stamp and
War Savings certificate plan of
the United States government.
Start each child with a thrift
card, let it save until it secures
sufficient finds to buy stamps
and carry the accumulation along
until a savings certificate can be
bought In some cities the school
banks succeeded wonderfully in
establishing the savings habit a.
mong the little ones. drilling them
at the same time in arithmetic
and the art IF banking and ac-
counting.
The new national sa yings sys.
TEN will do this for every child.
Then there is the lesson of pat.
riotism that can go hand in hanC
with this education against ex.
travagance. Love of country ar
the Necessity Of denial for the
common cause Of humanity will
early be instilled into the minds
of the American children ard thu
fruitage will be better men, bet
ter women, and, above all, bette:
children.

ARME ENlAN RELIEF

The Lihue Union Church devoted
the service on Sunday to Armenian
and Syrian Relief at which a special
collection was taken which gave $3.50
with others to be heard from. A SINH
lar service at Koloa gave $6.40.
Similar collections will be taken up
this coming Sunday in the Hawaiian
and other churches. The destitution
and suffering of the Armenians per-
haps exceeds that of any country in
the world, the result of the inhuman
brutalities of the Turks. Four hun
dred thousand orphans are in a con
dition of the bitterest need and must
die of starvation and exposure this
winter if not helped. Any contribu-
tion great or small may be sent to

to the relief headquarters in New York.

Annual Meeting
OF Red Cross

The annual meeting of the Kauai
Branch of the Hawaiian Chapter of
the American Red Cross was held at
the Armory, Lihue, on Saturday.
Owing to an unfortunate misunder-
standing in regard to the hour of the
meeting there was not as large an at
tendance as there otherwise would
have been. The treasurer's report for
the year was read and approved. Hon.
Lyle A. Dickey was duly elected chair
man in place of w. ID. McBryde, retir-
ing, and the following ladies were
elected to constitute the executive
committee: Mrs. c. A. Rice, Lihue;
Mrs. VIM. Danford. Kekaha, Mrs. Sen
nj, Kealia; Mrs. b. ID. Baldwin, Maka-
well; and Mrs. G. b. Tuttle, Waimea.
A session of the executive commit
tee followed Immediately after the
general meeting in which Mr.. ]. X.
Farley was appointed Treasurer and
Mr.. II. ID. Wishard Auditor.
After the meeting adjourned it was
learned that Mr.. Farley could not
serve and Mr.. T.. S. Swan was appoint
ed in his stead.
Those who are most deeply inter
ested in the Red Cross as well as
those who are best fitted to know, are
of Judge Dickey and are abundantly
satisfied that he will make good in
very efficient and successful way.

1t is the Holiday Season with the
Red Cross Shop, as with other stores
even more so. At the last sale the
sales-room was fairly over run with
an eager crowd of purchasers, and
about 100 baskets of homemade
candy were sold, also many dolls and
other articles.
There will be another sale of candy
and toys on Saturday the 21st. This
will be the last sale of the season as
the shop will be closed for the holi-

Enjoy Movies

The Hanamaulu Red Cross hospital
bed shirt workers were the guests of
Mrs. Charles Rice at the movies last
Thursday evening. Some weeks ago
. Mrs. Moler and Mrs. Lydgate, in rec

Cross by the workers of Lihue, gave
them a garden party, at the home
home of the former. This was so
appreciated by those who were fortu-
nate enough to be present, that Mrs.
Rice decided to give the Hanamaulu
workers treat, and the movie party
was the happy result.
The night was a glorious one and,
as the pictures shown were unusually
interesting and beautiful, Mrs. Rice's
sixty guests enjoyed every moment
of it. The Hanamaulu workers have
been-and are-of great service to the
Red Cross. They have been for some
months turning out about two hundred
finished hospital bed shirts a month,
besides doing the cutting out of the
shirts for all of Lihue District. This
work has been done under the super
vision of Mrs. Mesick and Mrs. Christ
