MEN HAVE ARMS TORN OFF
BY ANIMALS, FEEL NO PAIN

LONDON Sept. 4-our story OF a
man being blown away, unhurt, by
the explosion OF a bomb which he
oio not hear must seem incredible to
many people. Here is something like
an analogy.
King Edward once brought together
az his dinner table Rustem Pasha,
who had. had half his right hand and
part Of his arm torn on by bear,
and Sir Edward Bradford, who had
had his left arm up to the elbow
munched away by a tiger.
The two men compared notes.
Neither had felt the least twinge Of
pain at the time. They imagined that
their intense desire to save their
lives dulled all other senses,

Speaking with one OF the commits
siopers appointed to make survey of
th< food situation in the battle-torn
countries OF Europe the writer was
told that the depletion and shortage
of food was far greater than anybody
had expected. With the investigation,
which ut that time had merely started,
much had been brought to light that
had only been surmised. Herds OF live
stock were completely wiped out, fields
that had been prolific yielders of grain.

hummocked by bombs and shells.

be needed. This need will continue
for some time, and during this period
prices Will be high. The opinion OF
those who hnve given the question

Bolshevism is spreading in Ger
many. In that country it passes
under another name. The Germans
call it Spartacism but 1t is the same
thing as Russian Bolshevism.
The Spartacans desire to over
throw the present, regularly elected
government, and to establish a Boil
shevist regime. In many cities there
is rioting.
One of the most disquieting signs
is the gradual conversion of the
bourgeois to Bolshevist or Spartacan
ideas. The bourgeois, consisting Of

clerks, and SO forth, are said to feel
that, since conditions cannot posi-

James r. Brown, President of the
Manhattan Single Tax Club of New
York, presents the following argu-
ment in favor of single tax: Tax
alton is payment for social service.
Honesty in taxation requires the
community to charge for what it
does for the citizen, but not to
charge the citizen for what the citi-
zen does for himself Our present
system of taxation is simply con-
fusion worse confounded Our tax
lists are but collections of guesses
from top to bottom and Involve the
crimes of grand and petit larceny.
The single tax is the only tax that
does not violate the rights of private
property. The only tax that makes
public value for public use. The
only tax that does not create on the
one hand unjust burdens and on the
other hand privileges. Public value
for public use. private property for
private enjoyment, is the true basis
of honest taxation.

Editor Midland Journal:
regret not having reminded you
of misprint in my communication
printed in the Journal, and which
after you had read the original you
might have seen absolutely made no
sense neither with the sentence pre-
ceding or following.
refer you to Mistakes Correct
ed" reading the paragraph towards
the end with the words: ''That is
the church" etc. The second sem
tence should read prosecuted" not
presented church. 1t absolutely has
no sense as printed Yet, Reynolds
repeats the sentence and comments
upon the presented church."
What really could presented
church mean? The church certain
ly was not presented. That would
be bad English and in fact worse
than bad English-real nonsense.
Just before writing looked over
my copy and l think If you look over
my writing sent, you will pretty
well make out prosecuted rather
than presented. At any rate the
Scripture quoted after the sentence
qualities a prosecuted and not pre-
scented church.
Respectfully,
