Mule Meat.

eff the Germans capture any Ameri-
can mules" says the Birmingham Age
Herald, "they may be tempted to try
mule steak" Perhaps so, but we trust
none of our friends over there will
ever be called upon to resort to any
such expedient. We are proud of our
mules, the great work they have done
and are doing over here and over there
for victory. So appreciative are we of
the mules services that we are ready
to stand hats off when he attempts to
bray the "Star-Spangled Banner;" but
we can never, no never recommend his
steak even to the despised BOche as
anything approaching a gastrOnomic
dainty.-Nashville Banner.

Inventions.

A craze for invention is sweeping
the country. Many a man who has
never been able to invent an excuse to
hand the wife for getting home late
is now accomplishing wonderful
things. Already 100000 appliances
for the destruction of U-bOats have
reached the patent Office. One man
has evolved a brick boat, built entire
ly of brick from the keel to the crows
nest. The chief value of this con-
struction is that the brick boat will
fool the wisest U-boats. 1t sinks as
soon as it is launched and the U-boats
are never able to find it.-New York

WOULD AMEND LORDS PRAYER

colleagues sometimes because in his
desire to make legislation thoroughly
good he insists on many amendments.
During discussion in committee re-
Gently, this senator, whose name is not
Brown, insisted on amending and

Finally, somewhat exasperated, a

Bluff That Failed.

General Plumer, who has recently
been recalled to France from Italy,
can be very irOnical when he chooses,
as the following story proves:
Shortly before the war, when he
held the Irish command, a regiment
vas being moneuvered before him on
field day, and the colonel in charge
succeeded in getting his men mixed up
pretty thoroughly.
However, he went grimly on, and at
last calling halt, rode up to Plumer
with an air of Importance,
Il 1atter myself that was extremely
well done, sir" he said, evidently with
the idea Of trying to bluff that moth
ing had gone wrong.

His Testimony Will Interest Every

Smyrna Reader.
The value of local evidence is indis
putable. 1t is the kind of evidence
we accept as true because we know
we can prove it for ourselves. There
has been plenty of such evidence in
the Smyrna papers lately, and this
straightforward testimony has estab-
lished a confidence in the minds of
Smyrna people that will not be easily
shaken.

Last weeks interesting and impor-
tant exercises in connection with the
dedication of this church have all
been pretty fully set forth in these
columns, except those taking place on
last Sunday, 9th inst. At eleven
O'Clock a. m. the house was crowded
to capacity for the Dedicatory service,
a complete program of which was Civ
en- in our Sunday morning issue. The
appropriate sermon, by DR.. r. NJ.
Donaldson. of Boise, was from the
sixth verse of the ninety-sixth Psalm:
strength and beauty are in His Sane
tuary" It's treatment permitted the
use of other scripture texts almost
without number, each of which fitted
its setting like jewels in a diadem-
the central and permeating thought
being that the place devoted to the
worship of Jesus Christ, be it cathe-
dral or humble chapel, is the sanctu-
airy of the soul for helpful commun-
ion with the strength and beauty of
the divine nature The wish was eX-
pressed that churches were open
daily, or some day each week, with
all their solemn attractions, including
music.
The responsive service, which was
made a part of the act of dedication
was exceedingly fortuituous and i'm
pressive. Preparatory to this, the
keys of the building had been formal
ly turned over by the chairman of
building committee, l.. l.. Brecken-
ridge, to the president of the board
OF trustees, c. E. MunsOn-brief and
appropriate words being spoken by
each. The treasurer of the committee
Mr.. A. r.. Ostrander, also submitted a
financial statement, which he pre-
faced by a brief but pertinent and in
teresting resume of the great work
now making mention of
the general and generous liberality
shown, and especially of the vivid
ows' mites"-the gifts that cost sac
rifice. The report was as follows:

Farmers ExemptiOns-Far are
busily making out their income tax
blanks, according to R. H. Argubright,
of the United States income tax COM
mission, and many of them are hav-
ing impressed on them the ACCESSIBILITY
of keeping books. Most farmers have
neglected to keep their accounts all
jotted down, and the tax may more
than pay for itself as a lesson in con-
servation, through calling attention to
small leaks. In making out exemp-
lions and offsets, the value of live
stock lost during the year is deducted,
as it means direct loss of income. An
allowance of fifteen per cent of the
value of machinery is allowed. II an
auto can be shown to be an absolute
necessity in the running of farm a
certain allowance is made for the
cost of the service actually furnished
in production.
