SLIDING TAX SCALE
Subject of Comment Among
Owners OF Property.

In discussing the proposed elec-
tion to decide for a constitutional
convention, citizens of Marion
are at variance. Some of the ad-
herants to the idea of a censti-
tutional convention are a little
shaky over the subject now, es-
pecially ysince the sliding scale in
taxes promulgated by the last
legislature has come beneath
their notice. In fact, they ask,
by what right under the present
constitution has such a law been
enacted that a man or a corpor-
poration owning much can be let
off from tax at a lower rate than
a man or a corporation owning
less. In fact, since the announce
ment that the valuation of the
county would be raised from
SIS, 100000 to 500, 600, 900 it has
been said that some of the land
owners of the county hint that
their taxes will be less. In view
of the fact that the present con-
stitution has been made a scrap
of paper" to secure this law,
citizens are beginning to ask
what is the use of making a new
one, which probably will not hold
as well. Taxes are being discus
sed considerably in this county
now, and some of the citizens are,
beginning to wonder where they
will be at-when the tax collect
or comes around.

LATE CORN COMING
Frequent Rains in Sequatchie
Valley of Great Benefit to
Crops.
Crops.

The continued rains in Sequa-
chic Valley are proving very
beneficial, as the late corn, which
seemed to be doomed, is coming
out in good shape. and promises
a good yield. j. d: Defur, of
Looney's Creek, says that indi-
cations are splendid for late
corn crop this year. Mr.. Defur
is known in this section as the
Corn Raiser" and is an expert.
He bases his prediction this year,
furthermore, on the fact that
from his experience he has learn
ed that late corn rarely ever hits
in ten years, and it has been
several years since a satisfactory
late corn crop was produced in
Sequatchie Valley. However,
there are sections where no
mount of irrigation from the
heavens and sunshine from Old
Sol would produce a corn crop. as
it is a ''goner", especially in a
strip crossing the valley at the
famous Pope farm in Sequatchie
county, where the corn crop this
year is already only nubbins.
The Victoria district of Marion
county. has also suffered for rain
but not so much as the section of
Sequatchie county mentioned.
Otherwise the early corn crop of
the valley is splendid. and with
the late corn now practically as
sured, ord-breaking crop
will be garnered,

chances to enjoy life. In France
this state of affairs was accent
uated and led to many conflicts,
often into serious fights between
the American and French youths,
the Trenches objectinc seriously
to having their girls swiped by
Americans even if they had come
| to save them from the Germans.
In fact, it seemed that after the
marines got there. that they
would have preferred to have the
Germans come than for the AM
orleans to swing their laces and
ribbons. In Germany, owing to
the absence of sugar, the Ameri-
cans were very popular among
the fair sex, for the boys always
called on their lady friends well
armed-with chocolates and bon
bons and never failed to receive
cordial receptions.
He relates that on one of the
trips of the "Inperator" across,
two Germans were found slowed
away. They had a loaf of bread
and a flask of water on which to
live during the trip. However,
they were discovered and sent
back. Mr.. Condra interviewed
one of them and was asked for
soap. He had one of those long
bars issued to the marines for
washing clothes, about twelve
inches long, and made no price
on it, but laid it down to see
what the German would pay, and
he was so eager for that soap
that he laid down five marks,
equivalent TO Sl.ZU, Tor CnaC oar
of soap.
Mr. Condra says that the girls
of those foreign countries are ex
tremely affectionate, sometimes
embarrassinglv so. but girls of
good character. He relates that
one time he was in the kitchen
of an English home where the
mother was busy cooking, and
the 17-year-old daughter came in
and sat down in his lap and kiss
ed him. He says he felt aWfully
embarrassed, but the funny part
of it is that the girls feel that
they are sighted if they are not
kissed at least by handsome
marines.
