them, it should be remembered that
rather liberal expenditures are justi-
fable. For instance, when bale of
cotton with the seed is worth $3.50, our
average per acre yield Of one-third of a
bale is worth $50; but when we in
crease this to two7thirds of bale,
worth 500, we have a gross profit of
$50 with which to pay for the cost Of
the increase. OF course the cost Of
this increased yield, If the matter be
gone about judiciously, will practically
never be as much as $50. More often
than not, in fact, it will be $25 or less,
leaving a net profit of $25 or more per
acre. And the same rule will hold with
other crops and livestock rs well. The
higher the yield per acre or per animal,
within certain limits, the greater the
net return.
The new year and the years to come
hold great things for the thinking, pro
gressiye, business-like farmer. Prices
promise to remain good for q long
time, and fair profits seem certain for
the man who farms right.
Let us, as our first New Year resolu-
ton, aim at putting our farms on
big yielding, money making basis.
There IL no surer way for making farm
life more attractive and desirable and
for keeping the boys and girls ON the
farms. $50 tr

TO RESTORE BACK TAX LAW

Considerable comments Great
ed by the new proposed law in
the legislature, which will make
it possible to collect taxes for
some years previous even when
back assessed, This will be
practically a restoration of the
"back tax law" which caused
trouble among the larger taxpay-
ers. The legislature of 1917 alb.
olished the law existing, and it
has not been possible since then
TO collect taxes by the "backtax'
route, much to the disgust of a
number who waved fat thereon.
The proposed law it is assumed
will collect tax where it has been
evaded, and we regret to state
that as the tax rates go higher
there is a stronger inclination to
avoid taxes. Cases are cited
where railroads that double
tracked their systems pay less
tax proportionately per mile than
previous to the improvement.
This is not just. especially to cit
liens of moderate means, who
are bearing a heavier burden of
taxation proportionately than the
weather. citizen or corporation.
We are not familiar with the
wording of bill, but hope that in
correcting an evil it will not Gre
ate a fresh one.

SAVED TWO FAMOUS PICTURES
Old Masters Taken by British Officer
From the Ruins of Ypres
Cathedral.

The king of the Belgians will shortly
have returned to him two famous pic
lures which were rescued, four years
ago, from Ypres cathedral. 1t ap-
pears that during the bombardment of
Ypres in 1915 a young British artil-
lery officer noticed inside the cathe-
dral, which was being heavily shelled,
that the only things not shattered by
German fire were two large Flemish
masters, dated 1900, hanging some 20
feet high on the walls. How to get
them and save them for Belgium was
the question which Immediately pre-
sented itself. The officer called two
private soldiers to help him, and with
the aid of some long gas pipes which
had been blown down by the German
fire, and two large hooks, the pictures
we're lowered to the ground. The Of
fcer, Lieutenant Daniels, r. A.. then
cut the pictures out of their frames
and put them in a large sack, which he
used for a time as a bed. In the end
he took them to London, where, with
the approval of the Belgian minister,
they have been placed on exhibition
prior to being returned to King Albert
at Brussels.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 4.-Revenge
for the part he played in the prosecu-
tIon of a group of %dynamiters in the
Middle West several years ago, was
assigned by the police here as the
probable motive for an attempt Oh
the life of Oscar Lawler, former as
sistant attorney general for the
United States. Mr.. LAWYERS home was
practically destroyed by a bomb and
subsequent fire here, and he and Mrs.
Lawler both seriously burned and
otherwise injured.
According to information gathered
by the police, a man driving an auto
mobile stopped in front of the Lawler
residence at New Hampshire street
and Wiltshire boulevard, in an exclu-
sive residential district. He dropped
something, leaped into the car and
rapidly drove away. An explosion fol-
lowed almost Immediately. The house
burst into flames. Mr.. Lawler, his
wife and one child were trapped
within.
The Lawler home was a large brick
and frame structure in the fashionable
Wiltshire district, in the west part of
the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawler were sleeping
on a porch In the south side of the
house, opening from a secOnd-floor
room and screened from the street by
an angle of the building. Miss Bessie
Mills, a nurse, and Oscar LAWYER, Jr.,
yrara clnonin0 on q cprnannd nnrrh of
the rear or east end of the house.
When the explosion came, a sheet
of flame at once rushed up the side
of the house, directly below the porch
occupied by the LAWYERS and cut off
possible escape toward the outside.
Mr.. Lawler and his wife went into the
house and tried to make their way to
the rear porch, where their son was
with the nurse.
They were cut off by smoke and
flame and when Mrs. Lawler realized
this she tainted. Mr.. Lawler took her
in his arms, carried her through flames
to the front of the house and dropped
her to an awning eel the front veran-
da, whence she rolled to the ground.
He then leaped after her.
The young son and the nurse were
rescued from the porch by neighbors.
Another son and daughter were away
from home at the time.
A thorough Investigation by city,
county, state and federal authorities
led to the belief that the bomb was
placed between two five-gallon cans
filled with gasoline, or some other
highly inflammable liquid. Experts
working on the case found fragments
of the bomb sufficient to reconstruct
it.
Not since the ~dynamiting of the
Times building has Los Angeles been
in such a Juror of excitement as it is
Lawler, lawyer, banker and one of the
most prominent and respected citizens
of Los Angeles. Relentless war is to
be declared on anarchists of every
kind. A reward of $1,000 offered by
the merchants and manufacturers was
not needed to spur police and people
to the hunt for the men who set off
the cans of nitro-glycerin under the
sleeping porch of the Lawler home.
Suspicion is directed against a con-
| vict recently released from a peniten-
tiary to which he was sem by Lawler
in the discharge of his duty as prose
cutor. No trace of him has thus far
been found.
