An ancient use of a modern slang
idiom was mentioned recently by T. e.
Peet, the lecturer in Egyptology at
Manchester university. He said that
the Egyptians always used the verb
ito do" in referring to q visit to a
country, just as an American today
speaks of "doing" Paris or London.
After this it will not surprise us to
learn that Hannibal considered his
expeditions as nothing more than
stunts or that the Roman populace
was rather annoyed when julius

For a long number of years it has
been the custom of the tax collec.
tor and tax assessor to visit the sew
eral voting precincts in the county
during the months of October and
November for the purpose of collect
ing and assessing the taxes, but these
officers were compelled to cancel the
dates during these months for the
reason the last Legislature changed
the forms of assessment blanks, MAX
ing it necessary to have printed the
new forms, and the stationery firm
having the contract has been rather
slow in making delivery. This de-
lay has worried many of the citizens
Of the county, who were accustomed
to paying their taxes during the
months of October and November,
and they have been at a loss to UNI
derstand why the dates were cancel

cease as the assessor has received

No! "Auto" Track is Not
Narrow Track

In talking with one Of our customers about
the Studebaker auto track wagons, we
uncovered a surprising notion OF his:
That noton-in his mind firm belief-was that 'auto"
track wagons are the northern narrow track wagons.
He was far from the actual facts, because auto track
is nofhe, narrot0 nor lDdc track Auto" track is
standardized width developed to fit the tracks rus
made by automobiles - every one of which makes
track 50 inches wide
When standardization was first considered by the
wagon manufacturers of both the south and the north,
it was recognized that the constantly increasing
Der Of automobiles were making, and would continue to
make the tracks on practically every road in the country
These manufacturers foresaw the necessity of building
wagons to fit this track They saw the advantage 10
wagon users of being able to follow such roads without
humping but running easily and smoothly in the
established tracks, afording longer wagon service and
doing away with the strain imposed on horses pulling
a wagon that would not fit the roads.
Come in and examine our Studebaker auto" track
wagons Have us show you by actual measurement
in case you, too, have had the wrong idea-that
"auto track is not narrow track.

EmbracInE SOvietiAm.
Regardless Of any claims which
may be made by government agencies,
Germany is rapidly becoming con-
yerted to sovietism as the result OF
radical propaganda and agitation. At
the beginning OF this year the vast
majority of Germans were strongly
opposed to the soviets on the ground
that such organizations signifed Bol-
shevism. This idea is changing.
especially since tn radicals have ad-
vocated equal representation or en-
especially in al soviets regardless OF
their numerical infeTiority.
1t is now proposed that the Bun
desrat upper legislative house, be
abolished and q new congress soviet
be established in its place, represent
ing all working groups. This would
provide representation for the people
according TO their social status, while
the Reichstag would represent them
according to localities.
Supporters OF such an organization
are growing rapidly. The Govern
ment may provide for it in the Con-
stitution. hoping thus to avoid the
April revolution. but there is a pos
sibility that the radicals. confident
they have the upper hands, will de-
mand even more. although their pro-
gram for government changes has
not been made known. 1t is known.
however. that the radicals believe IL
IS necessary for the workers to eK-
ercise direct control over all indus
ties. They fear otherwise that many
Industries will remain idle. since the
capitalists are not eager TO reopen
their factories in view OF their i'm
pending specialization.
