The government is after the profl-
teers, and rightly so. 1t should start
at the fountain and make them feel
the hard hand of the law. Any man
who takes advantage of present con-
ditions to make unnecessary profits
and to cause suffering and privation
should be made to suffer for it. The
Atlanta Constitution shoots this
paragraph:
eve hear of jails for sale, due to
prohibitions; but don't sell 'em-
keep 'em for the profiteers."
That's the idea. Let's keep the
iails for these teaches and if neces-
sary build more. But the jail is most
too soft a place. Better put 'em on
the public roads crushing stone.

AS an illustration of how even ths
high officials and intelligent citize1
look at the matter Of tax reduction
when it is found that the tax assess
ments have been increased severa
million dollars, or rather we shoule
say the tax value of the property has
been increased, here comes the
comptroller general along with a
statement which induces the News
and Courier to put over the article
this head: entails saving of $780,
OOO."
Wherein is the saving? The ex'
penditures are the same and the peo-
pie who own the property are going
to have to pay the same amount OF
money to meet the expenditures. OF
course, if it were not for the flexible
levy plan the 100000 would be col
lected, but they need not be spent.
The point we are trying to make
is, that there is really no saving be-
csuse the expenditures remain as the
legislature appropriated, and the
chances are two to one when the leg
islature meets, and the members
find that additional appropriations
can be made without increasing the
levy, that the appropriations will be
made.
The only plan by which you car
save the taxpayer any money is by
cutting down the appropriations
You can never do it by increasing
the assessments. And the chances
are that when you increase the as
sessments the legislature, instead Of
cutting down the levy, will increase
the appropriations so as to take w
whatever amount may be brought II
by the increased assessments.
When there was about two hundred
million dollars worth of taxable prop
erty in the State on the tax books
the levy was four mills, or something
like that. Now the taxable property
on the tax books is around four hun

SOLDIERS WHOSE WAR
INSURANCE HAS LAPSED
MAY REVIVE POLICIES

Secretary Of the Treasury Carter
Glass, on July %, signed a decision Of
momentous Importance ana interest to
discharged soldiers, sailors and ma
rines.
In the decision (T. D. AZ, w. R) the
secretary ruled that discharged sol
diers, sailors and marines who have
dropped or cancelled their insurance
NAV reinstatc it within eighteen months
after discharge without paying the back
premiums. All they will be asked to
pay will be the premium on the amount
of insurance to be renstatcd for the
month of grace i'm which they We're
covered and for the current month.
Thus, for example if a man dropped
$4,000 of insurance i'm January, 1919,
and applies for reinstatement the first
of September for $1,000, all ne will have
TO pay will be the premium for January
Uhe month of gracol on $4,000 and the
premium for September ON $4,000. or,
If he applies for reinstatement of the
fun $4,000, he win pay a total Of two
months premiums on 10000, one for
January and one for September. lie
will not have to pay premiums in either
case for the intervening months.
The decision stipulates tnat the for
mer service man applying for reinstatc-
ment be in as good health as at date Of
discharge
Former treasury decision 45, w. L"
and other prior regulations in conflict
with the new decision are revoked.
Director r. G. Cholmeloy.Joucs, Of the
bureau of war risk Insurance, follow
lng the signing Of the decision, made
the following statement.
The present decision is one Of the
-nost important to former service men
Ihat has been made in the history Of
the bureau.
MANY service men have been dcterr
ed from availng thcm3clves of the
former and less liberal reinstatement
privileges by reason Of the relatively
isrge amount of money represented by
accumulated overdue permiums, and be
cause it would seem that they were pay.
ing for something that they never ac-
tually had, which, in fact, was the
case.
Under the new decision q man is re-
iieved of the burden of overdue pre-
miums. He has am opportunity to re
nubiItatc himself financially after get
ting out of the army. navy or marine
corps, and to rciustate his insurance at
any time within is months following
discharge without the burden of pay
ing q large amount of money.

BREED DAIRY HEIFER EARLY
Purpose Should Be to Get System Of
Animal Into Milk Producing Habit
Before Maturity.
(By R. W. CLARK, Colorado Agriculs

(By r. W. CLARK, Colorado Agricul=
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
In order that heifers may be bred
young and begin milking at an early
date. they should be well developed.
This is important. Cows that acquire
considerable age and become mature
before beginning to milk will not
usually make as deep and persistent
mixers as cows that are bred at q
comparatively early age and begin to
milk before they are mature The
aim is to get the system Of the ami
NAL into the habit of producing milk
at as early an age as possible. There
fore the heifer should be well fed and
cared for from birth.
If the heifer is well developed she
should be bred at - to Is months Of
age. otherwise she should not be bred
until 1S to 20 months of age.

The plan for a League Of Ma
tions is based on a few simple
principles, which are not hard
to understand when lifted out
of the morass Of technical discus
sion and freed from legal and
diplomatic language As the
one authority best able TO pre-
sent these points without par
tisan bias, ex-President Taft
has been asked to put the
league idea into a few plain
words for the benefit of millions
OF Americans who desire a bet
ter understanding of the plan
but find themselves confused by
the debate in the United States
Senate. In response to this ie-
quest he has written the follow
ing article.

uUus VIII D6 TTIUweu 10 Hgnr IN ac-
cordance with the rules of the League,
so much time must elapse that in all
probability their anger win cool and
they will reach an amlcable under
standing.
What we have to fear is that some
nation viii go to war in defiance Of
the League, and every precautiOn has
been taken TO suppress such a nation
by the immediate use of the united
power of the other nations. If inter
national boycott failed to bring her
to terms she would have to face a
combined international army and
navy. The founders Of the League be-
lieve that the mere possibility of such
a situation will prevent any nation
from violating its agreement. Does
anyone think that Germany would
have begun war five years ago If she
had known that nearly all the other
great powers would combine against
herr
Doing the Worlds Work
In addition to settling international
disputes peaceably the League Of
Nations will provide means for doing
much of the worlds work more sys-
tematically and effectively than can
be done now when each nation Is
working only for itself. The people
you know best and like best are those
who work with you on the same job
1t will be the same way with the
nations Of the future The more they
work together, the sooner they will
come to understand and like each
other.
For example, the League will estab-
lish an international organization for
the bettering of labor conditions IN
different countries, for the protection
of women and children and the native
inhabitants of civilized and semi-civil-
ized countries. One of Germany's
greatest crimes has been her barba-
rous treatment Of the helpless people
in some Of her colonies. One of the
chief tasks of the League will be to
look after peoples that are not strong
enough to protect themselves.
The League will appoint commits
sions to take charge of various inter
national undertakings so that they
may be carried on, not for the benefit
Of any one nation, but for the benefit
Of the whole world Provision will be
made for promotion of fair and equal
trade conditions.
These are only few of the benefits
the world will derive from the League.
As time goes on we shall find more
and more tasks at which the nations
can work In common and a greater
number of opportunities to remove
causes which stir up jealousies and
animOsitles between races and peoples.
Objections Answered.
OF course we cannot hope to make
the great changes such as. the League
Of Nations will bIeng about without
opposition. Fortunately the war has
taught us the great advantages of
cooperation. 1t was
only by good team work that the free
liberty loving nations were able to
whip Germany.
The treaty which the United States
Senate IS debating obligates the men,
bers Of the proposed League to pro
tect one another against attack from
enemies outside their Own boundaries

IT'S NOT YOUR HEART
IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS

Kidney disease is no respecter of per-
sons A majority of the Ills affiicting
people today can be traced back to
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs OF the body They are the
1lterers, the purifiers, OF your blood.
Kidney disease is usually indicated by
weariness. sleeplessness, nervousness
dependency, backache, stomach trou-
Bile, pain in loins and lower abdomen,
gall stones, gravel. rheumatism, sciatica
and lumbagO.

nenI upon conquest. Although tnis
agreement (Article y of the Cove
nanO is vital to any arrangement
which seeks to prevent war, 1t has
been attacked on the ground that It
would draw the United States into
wars IN various parts of the world and
force us to send our boys to fight In
quarrels which did not concern us.
We should remember, however, that
the main purpose OF Article X is to
frighten nations tempted to wars Of
conquest from yielding to the tempta-
ton, by the certainty that they will be
crushed If they begin such a war by
a universal boycott and a union Of
forces Of the world against them. II
a big war breaks out again, the United
States will be forced to take part in
it whether we have a League of
Nations. or not. We tried hard enough
to keep out OF the war with Germany
but found we couldn't.
A little war contrary TO the League
rules could be handled by the powers
close at hand. Certainly it would not
be necessary to send American troops
to suppress an uprising in the Balkans
when prompt action by the armies OF
Italy or some other nearby powerful
nation could suppress the fracas be-
fore American troops could even get
started.
Great Gain for Small Loss.
We had to make many sacrifices TO
win the last war and we made them
willingly because we knew they were
worth while 1t will be the same In a
smaller degree with a League Of
Nations. When men form a business
partnership each one has to make
concessions to the views and opinions
of the other members of the firm.
When we enter the League Of
Nations we may have to give up GER
tain privileges, but the losses VIII be
small compared with the profits.
The United States will not have 70
sacrifice her independence or right TO
nlake her own decisions.
The council, the chief governing
body OF the League, cannot take |
action without unanimous decision Of |
It's members and since the United |
States will have a representative In |
the Council our interest will be pro- /
tected there We hear 1t said that the |
League is formed for the benefit Of .
Great Britain or Japan or some other
one nation. This is not true. All the
nations will gain by 1t, not only the
great nations such as the United
States, Great Britain, France, Japan
and Italy, but the little nations which
in the past have been oppressed by
their big neighbOrs. The international
court will give an opportunity for the
settlement of old grievances which
have long troubled the peoples of the
world
1t has been said that the League
viii interfere with the Monroe Doc
.rine but the League Covenant ex-
lressly protects this Doctrine. In fact, .
through the Covenant the Monroe Doc
rine receives recognition throughout
he world and its principles become
forever established.

Got Together Again.

At the country home Of Rebecci
Wood, Of Forest City, on Sunday last
October ~. 1919. there was one OF
those reunions Of brothers and sisters
grandchildren and great-grandchildre
that is ever one Of those sweet land
ing places in life's journey that re.
mains stamped indellibly upon the
minds Of those who participate.
They were the children Of the late
Allen and Minerva Wood, a pioneer
couple Of what Is now known as For.
est township, and who passed away
many years ago, leaving a family OF
as fine a set Of children as ever grew
to manhood and womanhood.
Some Of these children came from
the golden slope, some from the
bleaky north and some from the rock
bound hills Of Southern Missouri.
A happier set Of children and their
offspring never assembled together
on such an occasion. Miss Rebecca,
assisted by brothers and sisters, made
, ample preparations for the happy oc.
casion and splendid dinner was serv-
ed. How these kids Of days gone by
did chatter over the scenes and in
cidents of their boyhood and girlhood
life; many a tear was wiped away and
many hearty laugh rang out through
the rooms. Perhaps never again will
such a scene come 10 them while they

in the New York Tribune isn't true
right here in Forest City!
"If she is strict, people say she
does not allow the children to exercise
their indivuality. II she Is not strict
people say she cannot maintain dis.
cipline.
"If she pays great attention to hei
appearance, she is merely looking fol
husband. II she does not pay grea,
attention to her appearance, she Is q
bad example for the children.
"If she enjoys theaters, cards and
dances, she is a disgrace TO her pro-
fession. Il she refrains from such
pleasures, she is a crank.
"lf she sticks to her subject, she Is
a fanatic. II she diverts from her
subject. then she is laxative and
rambling.
"lf she gives up her position to
