such exorbitant charges for food and
who are consequently giving visitors

3 1t is no more than good business policy
that Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo asks
Congress to pursue in exempting portion
of the income derived from Liberty bonds
from the imposition Of the surtax. Even pa
triotism will fail to draw the needed vast
sums from sources of wealth to the purchase
of the forthcoming issue if the investors know
that the income therefrom is to be taxed
practically out of existence. Capital is pro-
verbally timid. and IL it is to flow freely into
the next Liberty loan. it will have to be
coa1ed rather than threatened with hobbies.

candidate for the United States Senate, he
peacefully went afshing. But his Republi-

strong in the Democratic faith. Now he an
nounces that he is in the fight, proposes to
see it through TO the finish, and the bounds
OF his political activities will be measured
only by the law. With his ire up and backed
by the approval Of the administration, he
should have no real difficulty in riding across

Again it must be stated that nitrate

crop at the right time, for best re-

questions or in regard to other uses

such with your County Agent. It is
to be borne in mind that nitrate at

cheapest source of nitrogen that the
farmer can buy this season. To get

When a man goes ont a sleighing.
Last week there was something unusual
that attracted attention, going on in Mil
ton. Sleighing had become a thing oi
the past There had been no SHOWS of
any account, to attract attention, and old
sleighs and new ones, too, for that, had
been relegated to barn lofts or some
other ut-of-the-way place. Automobiles,
too, have become numerous, and not so
many horses are kept by persons who use
horses alone for driving purposes. But
the snow Of last week requisitioned horses
as well as all of the old sleighs and sleds
that could be found amongst the dis
carded debris of year or more ago, and
they were on the street. Farmers who
had not been in town for a coon's age
improvised a little lumber and two
crooked sapplings and came in III a
'jiffy, bundled up to keep warm. Now
this was fun to them. OF course they did
not feel the cold. No doubt the reader
remembers many moonlight nights in
the long ago when he enjoyed these
sleigh rides. Gold - why No! We
never suffered with cold on such hilarious
occasions. This cold weather has been
detrimental to many things; and has
cast gloom over the hearts of many. If
there are any pleasing episodes connected
with the past two months it is well that
we should hear of them, We are not
grumbling. We are accepting the con
ditions with becoming nonchalance; al
though we don't like so much cleaning
