Hurrah for Qualla Graded school!
The next day and night was ideal.
Although Mr.. John N. Lambert was
very sick, he braced him elf up
and managed to reach Olivet. His
speech on The Price of Farms and
Products 80 years ago" made us
who are young take careful notice.
Why not every one who is older
than we bring us the facts of such
changes? Then, the schools will
not dwell so much on the dead past
as they used to do. Every COM
munity can make it ideal in Sun
day school, church, day school,
farming, and cooperative marketing
if it will only use its old and young.
Mr. j. c. Rhodes feelingly lectured
on Present Prices of Land and
Products" The emphasis he put
on Mother and Home deserve all
that Mr.. Rhodes said about them.
May every teacher, woman and
man and girl and boy Say to him
self that all my energies shall be
bent toward ideal homes. May
every one love home so much that
they will induce every one to want

Mr.. c. E. Campbell delved into
the future. He emphasized the
slavery of the farmer of the past
without much schooling, with but
little say-So in government, groping
blindly to keep up mere existence
by letting the middle-man get the
cream. Looking the future squarely
in the face, he predicted the time
near when the farmer would come
into his own by pricing his own
products and being so we'll inform
ed that the other fellow could not
beat him. In speaking of eggs he
said that no merchant had any use
for them for the condition of hand.

Bella Kun Asks Allies To

BUDAPEST, Thursday. June 81
THE allied policy toward Hungary

our internal affairs and the allies also
should raise the blockade" Bella Kun,
foreign minister Of the present Hun
garian government, told the Associat-
ed Press correspondent today in dis

been interfering with the affairs OF
the Austrian republic. Minister Kun
also expressed confidence that com
munism would succeed In Hungary.

also untrue that we bought guns and
rifles from the Italians.
"Our policy is peace. Sooner OF
later our frontiers, now impossible,
will be altered when the allies under
stand the situation better and when
they realize that the best policy Is
peace dictated by reason. So far, the
policy of President Wilson has moi
been adopted because OF French op

going to stand on a question OF politt

CITY PAYS $500
A WEEK TO U. s.
FOR LUxURIES
Drug Stores Lead List =
Clothing Merchants Pay
Tax But Must Charge More.

Approximately $500 week, in PEN
MES and silently larger amounts. is
paid over Richmond shop counters as
luxury tax. according to a compilation
of figures secured from merchants
dealing In articles coming under the
luxury law. This includes those deal
ing in drugs, soda water and ice cream,
mems clothing and barber shops,
beauty shops, dry goods stores and
millinery shops, a majority Of which
report over So week In luxury tax
receipts.
Dry goods stores, millinery stores
and others of this nature report not
so much tax paid by the customer d.
rectly, as that which he must indi-
rectly pay In the general price Of the
garment, and which the retail dealer
has directly paid himself. A promi-
nent dry goods store yesterday re-
ported that they had recently paid
over 5000 In luxury tax on a $1,000
order Of furs.
The people who come into our store
and purchase these furs will not pay
US any extra coppers as they do when
they purchase an ice cream soda,
pointed out a member Of this firm,
"but they will, of course, be paying
this tax as an included part Of the
general price of the furs." Other
dry goods merchants also said that
the luxury tax receipts paid in by
customers were not the larger part.
Averages for Each
In visible tax. however, the follow
ing averages are reported in each
store of the following types, of which
the drug stores lead In numbers:
Drug Stores-$2.50 day, sometimes
making an approximate average pei
week of $3.50 in all the stores.
enthusiastically average 81 to So;
combined tax in Richmond approx
mately $40 a week. The luxury tai
includes shirts and hats.
Beauty Professionalism average
approximately SO week.
Soda Water and Ice Cream Dealers
Individual averages ranging from
81 day to 81 a day; weekly approx
mate average, 1910.
Dry Goods Stores-Selling cold
creams, powders and other luxury
taxables-average from so cents tt
$3.50; combined average $50 week.
Doesn't Stop Trade
All dealers report without exception
that while the tax proves more or less
a nuisance to their customers, theil
trade has not fallen of one iota since
the initiation Of the tax.
Nearly everyone makes somewhat
of a pun of the copper trade sale
a druggist, "and everyone puts doWr
his extra cent or two with apparently
no grudge. It would appear that ths
American people, at least Richmond
Americans, take their luxury curb!
Enthusiastically"
