.LUxURY TAXI

There is no doubt that Uncle Sam
needs money, gobs of it, oodles OF 1t
He has just been conducting a war OF
some consequence, and now all sorts OF
little bills for all sorts of odds and
ends have been accumulating on his
ample desk. all distinctly and even
conspicuously marked with &he urgent
request: please remit" Moreover, he
has made a number of friends across
the sea during the late unpleasant
ness, who, in consequence OF the same
somewhat protracted fracas, now find
themselves approaching that fiscal
condition which, in the case OF an indi-
yidual, is sometimes decribed by the
inelegant but highly expressive term
'.busted." More than once they have
delicately hinted that modest loan
of a few hundred millions or so would
be very acceptable, especially when
cheerfully accompanied with the prom
ise to "pay you next week." or any 9TH
er old time that may suit mutual con-
yenience; and our good Uncle does
not have it in his heart to refuse.
So he needs money. We can feel
that need speaking forth with mute but
persuasive eloquence from the melll-
flous accents with which he is urging
his nephews and nieces all over the
country to buy Victory bonds. We can
discover the same need peeping shyly
forth from the various devices which
he is adopting to coax the peoples
money out of their pockets into MS
own. In this matter of gathering In
the shekels he does not permit NM
self to be deferred or hampered In MS
operations by any notions OF raise
pride. He not only bags goodiy
swarm of dollars from the princely IN
come Of the millionaire war proflteer,
but he runs down the nimble nickle OF
the urchin attending the picture snow
with the same huntsman's ardor with
whic he pursues and captures the
thousands of the money king.
And now he is giving his attention
to the pennies. We have just received
a document from the office OF the
commissioner of internal revenue,
composed with that amplitude and ef-
fulgence of expression which consti-
tutes perhaps the principal charm OF
this valuable species of literature, In
which various methods are set forth
with commendible clearness for divert
ing a penny or two from innocent and
patriots for the purpose
of swelling the governments Golfers.
We refer to the so-called Luxuy
Tax"
We would like to ospublish this docn-
ment in full, and deeply regret that
two considerations prevent US from do
ing so. One is that during these damp

Lowell Carr, son of James Carr
of Lamont, has returned from France.
He weighs "a pounds more than he
did when he entered the army, which
is good evidence that soldier life in
France agreed with him. He was a
member of the 26th division, composed
mostly of New England men. They
were IN the front line trenches under
orders to charge when word was re-
ceived that the armistice had been
signed. "Lodie" was in Manchester
last Saturday calling on relatives and
friends.

County Chairman Matthews Makes
Last Appeal to Citizens to Come
Across with Subscriptions.

In the battle of the Argonne fores:
the First Division OF the regular army
troops had tried three times unsuc-
cessfully to take a certain hill de-
Tended by intricate wire ,entangle-
ments from behind which the machine
guns in concrete forts poured down
a leaden hail that moved down our
Yankee boys like grain. A lot Of Della
ware County boys with their comrades
of the Rainbow Division were ordered
to take that hill and within an hour
they were over the hill chasing Fritz
toward Berlin. THERE WAS NOT A
DESERTER.
The civilians in Delaware County are
fighting their last battle in the great
war and to date there are lot Of de-
serters. What the government has
done or failed to do; what your neigh
Dor has done or failed to do cannot al
ter your obligation as good citizen.
Your duty to buy all the government
bonds you can pay for Is just as
plain today as was the order to those
boys to 60 through almost certain
death. The only difference Is that
your job is easier and lot OF you are
neglectful of your duty.
The money for which these bonds
are issued was spent to end the war
quickly and save the lives Of hundreds
of thousands OF the finest boys in the
land. However you may criticise the
government you can't get around that
fact that it ended the war quickly and
SO saved lot of lives. Now are you
enough of an American to be thanks
full at the result and back up your
promise made through your govern
ment to pay tie bills? Or are you a
weasel soul, satisfied to live on the
blood OF your neighbor boys?
After Saturday your war record can
not be altered. Don't imagine it will
be forgotten. In days to come twill be
a classification of yourself. You have
,the-rest- of the week to end it glorious
ly. Make your record one that your
children's children will not be asham-
ed Of in days to come, and one that
you will not be ashamed Of when you
meet the boys with the gold stripes on
their sleeves. After Saturday it will
be too late Now is the time. Take
advantage of the best offer our govern
ment has ever made. Remember you
have six payments in which to make
good in, and paying investment for
every man, woman and child. Call
up your banker or chairman Of your
township or ward and subscribe at
once.

SAVE YOUR OLD sILAGE.

How can I save the remaining sill
age in the silo?
The County Agent recommends that
silage be covered over with six to
ten inches of fine oat straw or chaff.
This is to be wet down thoroughly
and tramped. Practically no silage
will be lost if such a. procedure is fol-
lowed. This system has been used by
farmers over the state of Iowa for a
number of years and was found to be
successful. Silage is worth $1,000 a
ton. Don't waste it.

THE FAMILY COW.

Clemson College, Nov. 13.-One
Of the most interesting and attrac-
tive Of the exhibits in the agricul-
tural department at the State Fair
this year consisted Of q series Of
booths on the family COW" and the
allied subjects of the food value of
milk and the uses Of milk The
Dbooth on the family COW was u
Joint ylroduct OF the dairy division
Of CleMl$on Cnllego and the home
demonstration work Of Winthrop
College
In this Booth there was, flrst Of
all, a purebred dairy COW, and be-
side her the feed and forage for a
COW for one year with information
as to preparing rations for the dairy
} COW. In the adjoining booths we're
shown methods Of skimming milk, to
show the relative losses Of butter
fat, equipment for the home dairy,
such as sanitary pals, milk coolers,
barrel churns, butter workers, etc.
Next followed display showing
that good family COW producing
daily three gallons Of milk testing
4 4-10 per cent of butter fat will
yield the following products: 3

quarts Of whey; 2 quarts Of SKINNED
milk, 3 quarts, pint Of whole milk;
2 quarts Of buttermilk, 3-4 pound Of
butter, and 1 IA pounds of cottage
cheese.
In the display showing the food
value of milk there were data ex-
planning the superior value Of milk
over other foods in tissue building,
heat and energy prodrction, aud the
"proteCtiYo" value OF milk with ref
erence 10 health; and also showing
that milk is cheaper food in pro-
duotion and in expense per each ] 90
pounds Of digestive nutrients than
any other food.
But probably the most striking
phase Of this family COW exhibit was
a display showing the uses tf milk,
and making it evident that people
who might not care for milk as
such may find it's use in various
other forms very tempting. Here
were shown cottage cheese, salads,
sandwiches, creamed dishes, soups,
chowders, desserts, and various milk
drinks, in all Of which milk forms
an important element.
