This week the Gen.
tie Readers attention
was turned from the
diverting shelves of
new fiction towards a
collection of new
books on various Sc
rious subjects.
Concerning Germany
Two books recently
published are of timely
interest. T Their titles
rather explain what they
are about. One is Ger
many's New War Against
America" by Stanley
Frost Of the Tribune.
This book is introduced
by A. Mitchell Palmer,
Attorney General of the
United States, formerly
Alien Property Custo-
dian. 1t is highly recon-
mended by Francis P.
Garvan, the present Alien
Property Custodian. 1t
seems to get right down
to "brass tacks." So.
The other book is
Germany in the War
and After" by Vernon
Kellogg. It gives an ex-
cellent idea of what the
German mind is like. In
this small volume, the au-
thor traces the gradual
decay of German morale.

Most of the taxpayers will be
dumbfounded when they see that
the new law passed by the re.
cent special session Of the legis.
lature giving a refund or rebate
of one-fourth or Is per cent Of
the state tax assessed for the
year 1919 amounts to so very
little; a mere reduction Of $2.8s
on a valuation of $1,000. AnG
will this lead people to realize
that the entire state tax on S.
900 was only $11. 40 to start with
and that the increase Of taxes il

There is one more thing these men
told the President and Congress, that
was the most important of all. In
SO doing, they explained in effect lust
how the farmer can get redress by
striking in case he cannot get it any
other way. Doubtless they gave
some of the congressman who heard
formation.
'Now is the seeding time for
wheat" they said. "Now is the time
the farmer selects the gifts and brood
sows that will give birth to the 1920
pig crop. Now is the time when the
dairyman determines the number of
COWS he wants to milk twice daily
for the next year. Now is the time
the cattle feeder determines whether
he will sell his corn as beef or corn.
Now is the time the silos must be
filled, if feeding operations are to be
engaged in. Now is the time the
farm woman determines the size of
next years flock of poultry. Now
is the time when the farmer plans
next years corn acreage.
"In short, now is the season when
the efficient farmer plans the whole
1920 program. Right now the Am
erican farmer holds in his hands the
power to determine quite definitely
the size of next years crop of wheat,

secured. Yet the good women of
Greene county paid from $40 to
$5.25 a pound for wool yarn for their
Red Cross knitting. Nothing had
been done to the wool except to dye
it and make it into yarn. This diff
ference in price that went as profit to
someone may be one reason why $50
suits now sell for $50 and up.
The high cost of living is due to
each ones shifting the responsibility
and trying to better his condition at
the expense of the other fellow, these
men told the President. Back in
Ohio and Iowa we call it passing
the buck" That's what I heard
Howard call it in Des Moines. But
he gave it more dignifed name in
Washington.
Howard presented some figures to
show that, regardless of high prices
prevailing for farm products, it is
impossible for the farmer to be re-
sponsible for the greatest share of
the high cost of living in general.
Taking the average American family
income of $500 as basis, he showed
that approximately $277.23 of this
budget goes to the farmers who raise
the various food items and $74.26
to the farmers who produce the
hides, wool and cotton which enter
into the clothing. item. This means
that $351.49 of the total $500, or
only about twenty-three per cent,
goes directly to the American farmer.

SCHOOL GIRLS
BEAUTY TIPS

The young girls who are going
away to school-and the young
girls who are going to hunt and
I'LL their first jobs-are looking
about for ways to make themselves
prettier and more attractive.
The first essential Of all beauty is
neatness-eXQuisite neatness and
cleanliness of person and clothes.
The daily bath is absolutely nee
sssary to the girl who longs for a
clear fresh complexion which needs
no cosmetics.
Young girls have little need for
the massage creams OF older wome n
but even girls need a good cleans
ing cream to take out dust and to
warn away chaps.
Girls with oily skin should use
daily, on bits OF absorbent cotton
the following lotion: 5H ounces Of
rose water, II ounce of alcohol, and
II dram Of boric acid.
A saturated solution OF boric acid
used might and morning with an
eye-cup. will keep the eyes bright
and rested and the lids in healthy
condition. A very little vaseline
rubbed into laslree and brows will
make them grow
The neat. well-groomed school or
business girl will be sure that
hooks. eyes, buttons and snappers
are always in place on her belts
and .blouses and packets SO that
her clothes never cape or sag un-
becomingly.
Shoes. too, well polished, and
with straight heels and neat laces
mark the we'll -groomed girl, and
so do the white shoes kept aoso-
sutely clean. Shoe trses for each
pair owned is an excellent invest
ment. They cost little. and save
time and money keeping the shoes
in good condition.
No business girl should attempt
to wear a wash shirtwaist more
than one day-unless she is eX-
tremeY neat and careful about her
clothes. Looking capable and pros
porous invites real prosperity and
the world respects the person who
respects herself enough to be clean
and neat.
/ Remember TO use one OF the many
toilet preparations designed to pre-
vent excessive perspiratiOn and its
odors. Use little perfume. Perfect
cleanliness is the sweetest frag-
rance.
4 Keep the hair clean and shining
by frequent shampoos and nightly
brushings.
Beauty pays-in social life and
business. Invest time and thought
in it If you would have returns.
