threatened that if their demands are

cannot run without coal and the dis

a cessation in the production of coal
will bear most heavily on the wage
earners. including the miners brother

Do Men Idealize Their wlvesa-2.

Do Men Idealize Their Wives s?-2.
Undoubtedly the idealistic faculty. is
more highly developed in men than
it is in women. All, of the great poets
men who have referred to women as
angels and thrown a halo of romance
about the female sex.
Still, while men have liked to look
at women as a whole thru the rosy
medium of their fancy, it is doubtful
If they have ever idealized the individ-
ual woman particularly, or that any
man has ever thought his own wife a
paragon of perfection.
Most men lack an imagination ro-
bust enough to do this. Beside which
men, as sex, are taught TO sec
straight, and to judge accurately.
There are certain standards of beauty
and intelligence that a woman must
meet to be ratsd a good looker. or
clever, and unless woman can, in
the slang of the day, deliver the goods
no man is going to think her a Venus
or a Minerva. no matter how much ne
might like to.
To a sane mind It would seem i'm
possible for man not to be able to
distinguish between saliow complex
ion and rose leaf skin; between
avordupois and willowness; between
sympathy and narrowness; between
broad culture and stupidity; between
subtlety and ycommonpraceness For
q man not to be able to tell which wo-
man possesses each OF these charac-
teristics is, indeed, to believe that love
Is blind. Also daffy~
Yet all these women get married
and have apparently devoted hus-
bands. And the women who are beau
tiful, wonderful. and exquisite, land in
the divorce court quite as often as
their honely, heavy, duh sisters.
1t does not follow that because .
man thinks q woman pretty that he
falls in love with her. for beauty often
leaves the heart untouched. Nor does
it necessa rily follow that a man would
prefer a Dresden china woman to one
whom he perceived to be good serve
iceable delft. The very exquIsitenesa
of a woman may repel instead of at
tract a man. That isn't the type Of
wife they admire or desire. All hu-
man experience goes to prove that it is
not necessary to ideaiize an Individual
in order 20 love him or her. On the
contrary the very blessedHess of love
is that il can realize all the faults and

LAND BANK RoNns.

The tax-exemption feature of the
federal farm loan act has been at
tackled in suit brought in the federal
district court in Kansas City. The
federal farm loan act. as originally
passed by congress in 1916 and
amended in 1913. provides that all
bonds. Securities and mortgages issued
by the federal land bank and joint
stock land banks, in accordance with
the provisions of the act shall be ex-
empt from federal, state, municipal
and local taxation The act also ex-
en1pts the income from such securi-
ties
An extensive investigation carried
on by, a congressional committee be-
fore the passage of the act revealed
that the average rate of interest or
farm loan mortgages in the United
States ran from So per cent in New
Hampshire to 8 per cent and even 10
per cent in certain southern and
western states, and further that these
length of time to permit the borrow
ers 10. accumulate enough money to
pay them off at maturity, In COM
parison with European countries, the
United States was found far backward
in rendering government aid and en-
couPagement. to facilitate farm credit.
The maximum interest rate which
may be charged by corporations or
ganized under the act is per cent
and loans may be made for any length
of time between five and thirty-six
years, Both joint stock land banks and
federal land banks may be designated
repositories of public funds and may
be employed as financial agents of the
government. Both classes of banks
are authorized to buy and sell United
States bonds and at least per cent of
the capital of federal land banks must
be invested in such bonds.
/ Mortgages executed to and bonds is
sued by both classes of banks are de-
clared to be instrumentalities of the
United States and as such they and
the income derived therefrom are ex-
pressly exempted from all federal.
state, municipal and local taxation.
The law has been the object of at
tack. generally taking the form of pro-
test only by private and corporate
farm mortgage loan interests thFuout
the country from the time of its pas
sage. Opposition is based on. the allie
cation that it is unfair to the taxpay-
ers to exempt these securities from
taxation.
But, on the other hand, should a
man be taxed on what he owes? If
all mortgages had been exempt from
taxation, probably the federal farm
loan act never. would have been
passed. Interest rates on mortgage
loans have been kept high by reason
of their liability to state, county and
municipal taxation.
William g. MeAdoo and George w.
Wickersham have rendered an epin-
ion which holds constitutional the tax
exemption provision of federal farm
loan bonds issued by federal land
banks and Joint stock land banks. The
only relief apparently possible to pri-
vate and corporate loan companies lies
in obtaining the abolition of the state
mortgage tax laws.

Read What Those Who Know
Him Best Have to Say

Four years ago when Mr..
Claude R. Horne made the race
for Railroad Commissioner he
received practically the unani-
nous vote of this county. This
year in his race for the same
office he should have EVERY
vote cast in this county. Come
on, boys, let's make it unani-
nous.
No man in the state is better
fitted for this important Office
than he. He has a thorough
knowledge of freight rates,
knows when discrimination is
being practiced and has the
moral courage to see that rail-
roads act justly toward every
community in the State. He
will be fair to the railroads but
will see to it that they are fair
to Mr.. Public, who after all pays
the freight. He will make as
good commissioner, if not just a
little bit better, than any man
who has ever held the Office.
He is a thorough business man =
no slick politician and every
voter in the district can vote for
him knowing their vote is cast
for the proper man.
Carroll County is justly proud
to have such a man to offer the
voters of the Northern District
and can assure them that they
will make no mistake if on
August 9Th they give Claude R.
Horne a sufficient vote to elect
him without the trouble of a
second primary. The Conserva-
tive. adv.
