Two young boys of this class, the
two Snowden boys, were obliged to
quit school and go to work, but moth
ing daunted they had the class work
assigned to them every day, got their
lessons every night and passed the
final examinations. They came from
their work Monday morning right to
the Temple and received their certi-s
ficates with the other members of the
class When Prof. Cassels made this
announcement these two ambitions
and hard working young boys were
loudly applauded. They are deserv-

AUTO TAX IN THIS COUNTY.
Over $500 Paid in Auto Taxes in This
County in 1917 and 1918,

1t will be something of surprize to
some of our people to learn that the
taxes collected on automobiles last
year and 1917 amounted to over $7OO.
While that amount is very small. it
is not so small for this county, consld-
ering our sparse population and small
mileage of good roads. The total
amount collected for 1917 and 1918 was
$744.79. Of that amount there now re-
mains to the credit of this county
S64S.2O, unexpended and in the First
National Bank here. A warrant
drawn by q. P. Burnett for $96.59 was
paid last year, which leaves the amount
as stated.
Should the proposed law, for issuing
fifty millions of dollars of bonds tor
road building, be passed by the legisla-
ture, the amount that will be collected
this year will be much in excess of any
previous year, as the law proposes to
tax autos one dollar a horsepower and
&hree dollars ton extra for trucks.

new BRANCH STORE.
Reed & Smith to Open One at lsoline
About April |.

Reed & Smith have arranged to open
branch store at Isoline April l. They
have leased the building formerly used
by the Clear Creek Coal Company and
now being used by W. c. Elmore with
a general stock of goods.
Mr.. Elmore will either close out his
stock to Reed & Smith or make some
other disposition of it. Just what he
will do he is uncertain at this time.
He may buy out certain business here
in town and move his family here in
order to have the benefit of our splen-
did school advantages for his children.
The new store will be In charge of
Ben Smith, the junior member of the
firm of Reed G. Smith They will not
only carry large general stock, but
will handle stock of feed as well.
They will build quarters for the feed
end of the business, as the present
building is not large enough to serve
for both,

WHAT THIS WAR HAS COST
Uncle Sam Has Been Stung for Nearly
Fifty Billions Of Dollars.

It is conservatively estimated that
the cost of the world war will be, by
the time peace is declared, to this
country not less than As billions of dol
lars. With the interest charges that
mast be met within the next genera
ton the total cost will hardly be less
than 60 billions.
What this enormous amount of mon
ey means can be better understood
when put into road mileage. The 45
billions woula have built one million
miles of road at a cost of $45,000 a
mile; few miles of road in this cour try
cost so much as that; by far the larger
mileage of built roads cost from So, 600
to $40, 600.
England is staggering under war
burden of about an equal amount,
while the other nations involved in the
war have expended a total of far more
than 100 billions more. This is not
taking into account the losses that will
result from the removal of man-pow er
from the channels of production.
Again, all the suffering, all the sorrow,
oil the anguish, cannot be considered
in this grand total. Neither is the
property destruction counted.
The total wealth of the United States
is estimated at 25O billions or little
! more. Counting the expense, the
property destroyed and the loss of
| man-power, this war has injured the
world almost as much as though the
United States had been wiped out Of
existence.
War does cost some!

ROAD TO HERBERT DOMAIN.
Bill Has Become a Law and Construc-
lion Work Will Begin Soon.

The bill for building ROAD from
trossville to the State Reformatory
for Boys, located on Herbert Oomain,
20 miles south of here, has passed ano
the road will surely be built this sum-
mer.
The bill also provides for the same
character of road to be built to fiKe-
Vile. That Crossville will be the logi-
cal railroad point there can be no
doubt. for Crossville is on the noun
tain and that would DO away with the
hard mountain climb that will be nec'
essary when Pikeville is used.
It would seem wise, in view of the
certainty of this road being built to
make the route via Herbert Domaih
the Dixie Short Route instead OF going
via Browns Gap, near Blglick. Such
a course would save the county seVerai
Thousand dollars and at the same time
enable the county to build good road
from Crossvile to the Biglick neigh'
,horhood. which is badly needed.

APPALLING DEATH RATE
Petograd, Russian Capitol, Loses $4,000
During Month Of FEBRUARY.

According to reports, 1l3,000 persons
died in petrograd. the Russian capitol,
during February, due to smallpox, ty-
phus and reduced vitality due to food
shortage. Disease is said to run ram
pant, with little effort at checking it.
In Moscow conditions were much the
same.
Nor is that all: Thousands of peo-
pie are Seing killed by order of the
BoIsheviki. Those who are being mur-
uered are largely of the upper class.
At the same time, war is gong on and
many are being killed in that way.
Counting those killed in the world war
and the deaths thus far, while looking
to the gloomy future, indications are
that as many as fifteen millions of peo-
pie of the once powerful Russian en-
pire will die or be killed before vio-
lence ceases.

CHEAPER FOOD SOON.
The Billion Dollar Appropriation to Be-
come Effective Soon.

Statements have been given out by
officials at Washington that cheaper
food seems in sight within compare.
lively short time.
The statement is based on the fact
that the one billion dollars appropri.
ated by the last congress. to meet the
difference between the reasonable sell.
ing price of wheat and the pilce of
81. 20 fixed by the government for the
1919 crop, would become available at
almost any time.
The idea is that the price of wheat
will fall to about SIPS bushel and
that the reduced price OF wheatwill
result in the reduction of other tD0ds
t. such an extent that general ood
prices will be nuch reduced.
Just what part of the one bilionwill
be required TO reimburse the farRers
on their losses by selling wheat blow
the So. 20 price is not known yetand
cannot be even reasonably estimted
because the coming wheat crop nay
prove large or small, owing to weather
conditions. At this time the W EAT
crop is estimated at close to biion
and quarter bushels, but weaner
conditions may very materially re1ce
that estimate by harvesting time.
Should food prices come down within
short time it will very maternity
encourage wage earners in accepting
lower prices and as labor prices ome
down industries will be encourage to
start up. All in all, the price of pod

TAX RATE FIXING LATE
New Law Will Cause Delay, Probably
Until Coming October.

The present legislature has passed a
law placing the duties of state equali-
zation upon the railroad commission
and has directed that they go over the
assessment OF each county and equal
ize same before 1t is announced to the
people.
The task is no small one and it is es-
timated that it will be as late as Octo-
ber before the labors OF the commission
will be completed and the various
county courts will be able to pass the
rate on to the people.
This law is the work of Gov. A. H..
Roberts and it IS expected to very ma
terially increase the taxes in certain
sections of the state where values have
been ridiculously low ana where much
personality has escaped taxation alto
gether.
In some sections of the state it is
claimed that land that would sell read
ily for S15o to $500 an acre has been
assessed as low as SIS to 500 an acre.
One case came to light through court
proceeding where certain farm had
been assessed at $4,000 year for
many years and when sold under a
court order brought $45, 600. 1t is just
such unjust assessments as this and
others of less abusive character that
Gov Rnher ts homes to correct.
