PINE GROVE GRANGE
RESUMES ACTIVITIES

John H. Mohr, secretary of the or.

the Pine Grove Grange has resumed
its regular series of monthly winter
meetings. The Grangers assemble and
spend the day in discussion of prob
lens that confront the rancher. The
first of the meetings was held on jan
uary Is. Midday dinners, dispensed
with as a wartime conservation, have
been resumed. I'VE had real chicken.
pie and cake with frostlng on it, says
Mr.. Mohr. 'but the January meeting
was just teaser, compared with what
we are going to have on February 10.
On that date the roll call will be
held, and all members are urged to be
present. Mr.. Mohr continues:
Now that the war is over, lets get
together and receive each Others help,
also take advantage of all the help we
can from the outside and pull all to-
gether. This little copied article might
interest every farmer and members of

The United States income tax re-
port of 1916, just published shows that
out of $4,000, 900 farmers only l3,407
paid an income tax or earned an income
of So, 900 or over. Thus one farmer in
little over 400 has earned enough to
pay an income tax, while one out of
every 200 teachers, one out of every 50
clergymen. one out of every 22 travel
ing men, one out of every IA doctors.
one out of every nine engineers, one
lawyer in every five, one banker in
every five, paid income taxes and at
that of the few farmers who paid in.
come tax, "A per cent paid on less than
5000. And still the consumer thinks
the farmer is getting rich. The con-
sumer is not to blame either for he is
surely paying enough. The distrbut.
ing system is wrong and to blame for
these conditions, therefore it is up to
us to get together and see what can be
done to divide up part of the proceeds
that is lost in between.
